Abstract
Civilization diseases are defined as non-communicable diseases that affect a large part of the population. Examples of such diseases are depression and cardiovascular disease. Importantly, the World Health Organization warns against an increase in both of these. This narrative review aims to summarize the available information on measurable risk factors for CVD and depression based on the existing literature. The paper reviews the epidemiology and main risk factors for the coexistence of depression and cardiovascular disease. The authors emphasize that there is evidence of a link between depression and cardiovascular disease. Here, we highlight common risk factors for depression and cardiovascular disease, including obesity, diabetes, and physical inactivity, as well as the importance of the prevention and treatment of CVD in preventing depression and other mental disorders. Conversely, effective treatment of CVD can also help prevent depression and improve mental health outcomes. It seems advisable to introduce screening tests for depression in patients treated for cardiac reasons. Importantly, in patients treated for mood disorders, it is worth controlling CVD risk factors, for example, by checking blood pressure and pulse during routine visits. It is also worth paying attention to the mental condition of patients with CVD. This study underlines the importance of interdisciplinary co-operation.

Abstract
Depression is one of the most common neuropsychological symptoms of multiple sclerosis. However, in addition to mood disorder, depression can also influence on multiple sclerosis course. The mechanism of this dependence is not fully understood. The recent studies suggest the possible common immune mechanisms in the pathogenesis of depression and multiple sclerosis. In particular, it was shown that along with biogenic amines disturbance, neuroinflammation also play an important role in the pathogenesis of depression. Significant attention is drawn to Th17-cells subsets, which are considered as critical players in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, including multiple sclerosis. This brief report reviews the literature data on the role of neuroinflammation in the reciprocal influence of multiple sclerosis and depression with focus on Th17-cells, which may underlie pathogenetic mechanisms of both this diseases.

Delirium due to hip fracture is associated with activated immune-inflammatory pathways and a reduction in negative immunoregulatory mechanisms. BMC Psychiatry 2022; 22:369. [PMID: 35641947 PMCID: PMC9158285 DOI: 10.1186/s12888-022-04021-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to delineate whether delirium in older adults is associated with activation of the immune-inflammatory response system (IRS) as indicated by activation of M1, T helper (Th)1, and Th17 profiles, and/or by reduced activities of the compensatory immunoregulatory system (CIRS), including Th2 and T regulatory profiles. METHODS We recruited 65 older adult patients with a low energy impact hip fracture who underwent hip fracture operation. The CAM-ICU and the Delirium Rating Scale, Revised-98-Thai version (DRS-R-98) were assessed pre-operatively and 1, 2 and 3 days after surgery. Blood samples (day 1 and 2) post-surgery were assayed for cytokines/chemokines using a MultiPlex assay and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio. RESULTS We found that delirium and/or the DRS-R-98 score were associated with IRS activation as indicated by activated M1, Th1, Th17 and T cell growth profiles and by attenuated CIRS functions. The most important IRS biomarkers were CXCL8, interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α, and the most important CIRS biomarkers were IL-4 and soluble IL-1 receptor antagonist. We found that 42.5% of the variance in the actual changes in the DRS-R-98 score (averaged from day 1 to day 3) was explained by T cell growth factors, baseline DRS-R-98 scores and age. An increase in the NLR reflects overall IRS, M1, Th1, Th17, and Th2 activation. CONCLUSIONS Post-hip surgery delirium is associated with activated IRS pathways and appears especially in patients with lowered CIRS functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of depression has been increasing worldwide in recent years, posing a heavy burden on patients and society. However, the diagnostic and therapeutic tools available for this disease are inadequate. Therefore, this research focused on the identification of potential biomarkers in the peripheral blood of patients with depression. METHODS The expression dataset GSE98793 of depression was provided by the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gds). Initially, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in GSE98793. Subsequently, the most relevant modules for depression were screened according to weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Finally, the identified DEGs were mapped to the WGCNA module genes to obtain the intersection genes. In addition, Gene Ontology (GO), Disease Ontology (DO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analyses were conducted on these genes. Moreover, biomarker screening was carried out by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction of intersection genes on the basis of various machine learning algorithms. Furthermore, the gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), immune function analysis, transcription factor (TF) analysis, and the prediction of the regulatory mechanism were collectively performed on the identified biomarkers. In addition, we also estimated the clinical diagnostic ability of the obtained biomarkers, and performed Mfuzz expression pattern clustering and functional enrichment of the most potential biomarkers to explore their regulatory mechanisms. Finally, we also perform biomarker-related drug prediction. RESULTS Differential analysis was used for obtaining a total of 550 DEGs and WGCNA for obtaining 1,194 significant genes. Intersection analysis of the two yielded 140 intersection genes. Biological functional analysis indicated that these genes had a major role in inflammation-related bacterial infection pathways and cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Subsequently, the genes S100A12, SERPINB2, TIGIT, GRB10, and LHFPL2 in peripheral serum were identified as depression biomarkers by using machine learning algorithms. Among them, S100A12 is the most valuable biomarker for clinical diagnosis. Finally, antidepressants, including disodium selenite and eplerenone, were predicted. CONCLUSION The genes S100A12, TIGIT, SERPINB2, GRB10, and LHFPL2 in peripheral serum are viable diagnostic biomarkers for depression. and contribute to the diagnosis and prevention of depression in clinical practice.

Identification of Potential Biomarkers of Depression and Network Pharmacology Approach to Investigate the Mechanism of Key Genes and Therapeutic Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Depression. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:2165632.

Abstract
Background To explore the potential target of depression and the mechanism of related traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of depression. Method Differential gene expression in depression patients and controls was analyzed in the GEO database. Key genes for depression were obtained by searching the disease databases. The COREMINE Medical database was used to search for Chinese medicines corresponding to the key genes in the treatment of depression, and the network pharmacological analysis was performed on these Chinese medicines. Then, protein-protein interaction analysis was conducted. Prediction of gene phenotypes was based on Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment scores. Results The total number of differentially expressed genes in the GEO database was 147. Combined with the GEO dataset and disease database, a total of 3533 depression-related genes were analyzed. After screening in COREMINE Medical, it was found that the top 4 traditional Chinese medicines with the highest frequency for depression were Paeonia lactiflora Pall., Crocus sativus L., Bupleurum chinense DC., and Cannabis sativa L. The compound target network consisted of 24 compounds and 138 corresponding targets, and the key targets involved PRKACA, NCOA2, PPARA, and so on. GO and KEGG analysis revealed that the most commonly used Chinese medicine could regulate multiple aspects of depression through these targets, related to metabolism, neuroendocrine function, and neuroimmunity. Prediction and analysis of protein-protein interactions resulted in the selection of nine hub genes (ESR1, HSP90AA1, JUN, MAPK1, MAPK14, MAPK8, RB1, RELA, and TP53). In addition, a total of four ingredients (petunidin, isorhamnetin, quercetin, and luteolin) from this Chinese medicine could act on these hub genes. Conclusions Our research revealed the complicated antidepressant mechanism of the most commonly used Chinese medicines and also provided a rational strategy for revealing the complex composition and function of Chinese herbal formulas.

Depression and Obesity in Patients With Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis: Is IL-17-Mediated Immune Dysregulation the Connecting Link? Front Immunol 2021; 12:699848. [PMID: 34367160 PMCID: PMC8334867 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.699848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Patients with psoriasis are frequently obese and experience anxiety or suffer from depressive disorders. The immunopathogenesis of psoriasis and indeed psoriatic arthritis is largely based on the pivotal role of IL-17/IL-23 axis, to an extent that currently monoclonal antibodies selectively inhibiting IL-17 or IL-23 are routinely used for the treatment of psoriatic diseases. Emerging data, demonstrating a decisive role for IL-17 and IL-17 producing cell subsets, such as Th17 in the induction and progression of obesity and depression has led authors to suggest that psoriatic disease, obesity and anxiety/depression may indeed be interconnected manifestation of a state of immunedysregulation, the linked being IL-17 and its related cells. We discuss this hypothetical link in depth taking into account the beneficial effects anti-IL17 and anti-IL-17 receptor inhibitors in treating psoriatic disease and the on-going debate as to whether these biologics may exert a direct or indirect effect in ameliorating concomitant obesity and depressive disorders, which are frequently noted in the same patient.
