Childhood trauma and adulthood inflammation: a meta-analysis of peripheral C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α.

ABSTRACT: Childhood trauma confers higher risk of adulthood physical and mental illness; however, the biological mechanism mediating this association remains largely unknown. Recent research has suggested dysregulation of the immune system as a possible biological mediator. The present paper conducted a meta-analysis to establish whether early-life adversity contributes to potentially pathogenic pro-inflammatory phenotypes in adult individuals. A systematic search of Pubmed, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Scopus and Medline identified 25 articles for the meta-analysis, including 18 studies encompassing a sample of 16 870 individuals for C-reactive protein (CRP), 15 studies including 3751 individuals for interleukin-6 (IL-6) and 10 studies including 881 individuals for tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Random-effects meta-analysis showed that individuals exposed to childhood trauma had significantly elevated baseline peripheral levels of CRP (Fisher's z=0.10, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.05-0.14), IL-6 (z=0.08, 95% CI=0.03-0.14) and TNF-α (z=0.23, 95% CI=0.14-0.32). Subgroup analyses for specific types of trauma (sexual, physical or emotional abuse) revealed that these impact differentially the single inflammatory markers. Moreover, meta-regression revealed greater effect sizes in clinical samples for the association between childhood trauma and CRP but not for IL-6 or TNF-α. Age, body mass index (BMI) and gender had no moderating effects. The analysis demonstrates that childhood trauma contributes to a pro-inflammatory state in adulthood, with specific inflammatory profiles depending on the specific type of trauma.

Human fibroblasts release reactive oxygen species in response to interleukin-1 or tumour necrosis factor-alpha.

Project description:Human fibroblasts in primary culture released reactive oxygen species upon stimulation with cytokines such as interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1) or tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF). The primary radical produced was O2.- as determined by e.s.r. spin trapping and cytochrome c reduction. In contrast to the oxidative burst in granulocytes and monocytes, radical formation took place continuously for at least 4 h. Low-level chemiluminescence was increased by stimulation with IL-1 and TNF. Spectral characteristics and tests with azide led to the conclusion that the photoemissive species were excited carbonyls and not singlet oxygen. Further, there was a liberation of ethane from the cells. Radical production and light emission were not altered by either xanthine or allopurinol, nor by azide, cyanide or rotenone. O2.- production increased in the presence of NADH or NADPH, making an NAD(P)H oxidase a likely source.

Ricin induces the production of tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 beta by human peripheral-blood mononuclear cells.

Project description:Ricin induced the release of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 beta by human peripheral-blood mononuclear cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The inhibition induced by ricin upon the phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-driven lymphocyte proliferation was greater in cultures of mononuclear cells than that observed in monocyte-free cultures of lymphocytes, and was decreased after addition of an anti-TNF-alpha antibody to PHA-activated cultures. Low levels of TNF-alpha were detected in plasma from rats poisoned with ricin. These results suggest that ricin induced the release of macrophage-derived cytokines which may have a role in the pathogenesis of ricin toxic effects.

From childhood trauma to elevated C-reactive protein in adulthood: the role of anxiety and emotional eating.

Project description:Childhood trauma is known to be related to inflammatory processes in adulthood, but underlying psychological/behavioral mechanisms have not been fully characterized. To investigate associations between childhood trauma and inflammation (indexed by C-reactive protein [CRP]), we used a structural equation modeling approach on a subsample of the Midlife in the United States biomarker project.Participants included 687 men and women without history of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or stroke who completed a physical examination and extensive questionnaires and provided blood. To test for sex differences, we held as many parameters invariant across sexes as possible while still retaining good model fit.Tests of direct and indirect effects revealed that childhood trauma was significantly associated with elevated CRP, via elevated body mass index (BMI; p < .001). This relationship was mediated by a broad latent measure of distress, which was associated with using food as a coping mechanism. Men and women differed in reported levels of physical abuse, sexual abuse, and physical neglect. Compared with men, women showed a stronger association between BMI and CRP, whereas men had a stronger association between use of food to cope and elevated BMI.Our results are consistent with a model in which childhood trauma is associated with elevated CRP, a relationship associated with stress reactivity and compensatory emotional eating. Men and women may experience trauma in qualitatively distinct patterns but share many vulnerabilities, which can lead to elevated health risks. Emotional eating may be an important target for intervention in this population.

Integrated proteomic analysis of Tumor Necrosis Factor α and Interleukin 1 β-induced endothelial inflammation

Project description:Objective The vascular endothelium provides a unique interaction plane for plasma proteins and leukocytes in inflammation. It has been established that particular proteins, including ICAM1, VCAM1 and SELE, are upregulated on the endothelial cell surface in the presence of pro-inflammatory cytokines Tumor Necrosis Factor α (TNFα) and Interleukin 1β (IL-1β). We now map cytokine-induced proteomic alterations to gain further insight into endothelial inflammation. Approach and results We evaluated alterations in the in-depth proteome, cell surface proteome and phosphoproteome after 24 hours of cytokine stimulation. In addition, protein expression profiles were measured after 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours of stimulation. We found that cytokine-stimulation induced a two-step response. After 4 hours, initial protein alterations were detected, including upregulation of ICAM1 and SELE, followed by a second burst of regulation after 8 to 16 hours, which included proteins involved in antigen processing, cytokine production, virus defense and ECM-interaction. Furthermore, we found that TNFα and IL-1β provoke a highly similar endothelial response with few specific alterations. Using a novel cell surface proteomics approach, we observed highly similar changes on the cell surface. Two surface proteins displayed altered labeling of specific epitopes, suggesting that these sites are modified or involved in interactions. Combined, our integrated proteomic data describes a full array of affected processes: leukocyte interaction, self-antigen presentation, cytokine production, nitric oxide production and extracellular matrix interaction. Conclusions Our study provides a detailed quantitative proteomic analysis of endothelial inflammation in which novel inflammation-responsive proteins were uncovered, and a two-step cytokine response was identified.

Regulatory mechanisms of interleukin-8 production induced by tumour necrosis factor-α in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

Project description:Interleukin (IL)-8 plays the critical role in the initiation of micro-environmental inflammation responsible for tumour growth and patient prognosis. This study aimed at investigating the molecular mechanisms of IL-8 production from human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. The levels of IL-8 and phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), ERK1/2 and Akt in MHCC-97H cells were measured by ELISA, Western blot and immunofluorescence. NF-κB p65 protein nuclear translocation was determined by non-radioactive NF-κB p50/p65 transcription factor activity kit and cell bio-behaviours were detected by the real-time cell-monitoring system. Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) significantly induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, ERK, Akt and production of IL-8 from HCC cells, which were prevented by SB203580 (p38 MAPK inhibitor), PD98059 (ERK inhibitor), LY294002 and Wortmannin (PI3K inhibitor) and SB328437 (CCR3 inhibitor). TNF-α could significantly increase the translocation of NF-κB p65 protein into the nucleus in a dose-dependent manner, while SB203580 partially inhibited. In inflammatory micro-environment, HCC auto-produced IL-8 through p38 MAPK, ERK and PI3K/Akt signalling pathways, where the p38 MAPK is a central factor to activate the NF-κB pathway and regulate the expression of IL-8 production. There was a potential cross-talking between receptors.

The Relationship Between Childhood Trauma and Poor Sleep Health in Adulthood.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Childhood trauma has been related to adverse behavioral, mental, and health outcomes later in life. Sleep may be a potential mechanism through which childhood trauma is related to adverse health. The current retrospective study aimed to characterize the relationship between childhood trauma exposure and sleep health, a novel multidimensional measure of sleep. METHODS:Participants (N = 161; mean [standard deviation] age = 59.85 [9.06] years; 67.7% female) retrospectively reported trauma exposure using the Trauma History Questionnaire. Childhood trauma was defined as the number of reported traumatic events before 18 years of age. Trauma exposure after 18 years of age and across the life-span was also recorded. Sleep health was derived both from diary- and actigraphy-assessed measures of sleep regularity, timing, efficiency, and duration, subjective sleep satisfaction, and daytime sleepiness from the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. The relationships between childhood trauma exposure and sleep health were examined using hierarchical linear regression, controlling for relevant covariates. RESULTS:In unadjusted models, a greater number of childhood trauma exposures were associated with poorer diary- and actigraphy-measured sleep health in adulthood. After adjustment for current stress, depression history, and other sociodemographic covariates, greater childhood trauma remained significantly associated with poorer sleep health (diary: ? = -0.20, ?R = 0.032; actigraphy: ? = -0.19, ?R = 0.027). Trauma exposure after 18 years of age and across the life-span did not relate to diary- or actigraphy-based sleep health. CONCLUSIONS:Childhood trauma may affect sleep health in adulthood. These findings align with the growing body of evidence linking childhood trauma to adverse health outcomes later in life.

Interleukin-6, but not tumour necrosis factor-alpha, increases lipogenesis in rat hepatocyte primary cultures.

Project description:The Kupffer-cell products interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) have been shown to stimulate hepatic lipogenesis in vivo. Studies were performed to define the direct effects of these cytokines on lipogenesis in primary-culture rat hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were cultured in the presence of IL-6 or TNF-alpha for periods of 24-72 h. IL-6 increased hepatocyte protein content per microgram of DNA. IL-6 also caused a dose- and time-dependent induction of hepatocyte capacity for incorporation of [2-14C]pyruvate into fatty acids (56% increase by 12.5 ng/ml IL-6 after 72 h of cytokine exposure). This increase in cellular lipogenic capacity was confirmed by using 3H2O incorporation into fatty acids as tracer. TNF-alpha did not increase hepatocyte lipogenesis. In contrast with studies in vivo, neither IL-6 nor TNF-alpha had any acute (2 h of exposure) effects on rates of lipogenesis. Both IL-6 and TNF-alpha are known to increase macrophage prostaglandin synthesis acutely. The prostaglandin E agonist misoprostol free acid (0.1 microM) acutely increased hepatocyte lipogenic rates by 14%. Thus, IL-6 can directly induce hepatocyte lipogenic capacity, and E-series prostaglandins can antagonize the acute inhibition of lipogenesis by glucagon. The observations provide further evidence for the role of Kupffer-cell products in the regulation of hepatocyte metabolism.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the tumour necrosis factor alpha-tumour necrosis factor receptor type 2 complex.

Project description:Tumour necrosis factor receptor type 2 (TNFR2, TNFRSF1B) is an essential receptor for various host-defence functions of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF). As part of studies to determine the structure of TNFR2, the formation, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the TNF-TNFR2 complex are described. The TNF-TNFR2 complex, which comprises one TNF trimer and three TNFR2 monomers, was confirmed and purified by size-exclusion chromatography. Crystals of the TNF-TNFR2 complex were obtained using polyethylene glycol 3350 as a precipitant. The crystal belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 74.5, b = 117.4, c = 246.8 A. Assuming the presence of two TNF-TNFR2 complexes in the asymmetric unit, the Matthews coefficient V(M) was 2.49 A(3) Da(-1) and the solvent content of the crystal was 50.7%. The crystal diffracted to 2.95 A resolution.

Activated macrophages promote Wnt signalling through tumour necrosis factor-alpha in gastric tumour cells.

Project description:The activation of Wnt/beta-catenin signalling has an important function in gastrointestinal tumorigenesis. It has been suggested that the promotion of Wnt/beta-catenin activity beyond the threshold is important for carcinogenesis. We herein investigated the role of macrophages in the promotion of Wnt/beta-catenin activity in gastric tumorigenesis. We found beta-catenin nuclear accumulation in macrophage-infiltrated dysplastic mucosa of the K19-Wnt1 mouse stomach. Moreover, macrophage depletion in Apc(Delta716) mice resulted in the suppression of intestinal tumorigenesis. These results suggested the role of macrophages in the activation of Wnt/beta-catenin signalling, which thus leads to tumour development. Importantly, the conditioned medium of activated macrophages promoted Wnt/beta-catenin signalling in gastric cancer cells, which was suppressed by the inhibition of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. Furthermore, treatment with TNF-alpha induced glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta) phosphorylation, which resulted in the stabilization of beta-catenin. We also found that Helicobacter infection in the K19-Wnt1 mouse stomach caused mucosal macrophage infiltration and nuclear beta-catenin accumulation. These results suggest that macrophage-derived TNF-alpha promotes Wnt/beta-catenin signalling through inhibition of GSK3beta, which may contribute to tumour development in the gastric mucosa.

Interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha as predictors of mortality in frail, community-living elderly individuals.

Project description:To investigate whether interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) protein levels predict all-cause mortality in older persons living in the community.Prospective cohort study.Data were from the Aging and Longevity Study in the Sirente Geographic Area, a prospective cohort study.Individuals aged 80 and older living in an Italian mountain community (N = 362).Participants were classified according to the median value of the three inflammation markers (IL-6, 2.08 pg/mL; TNF-?, 1.43 pg/mL; CRP, 3.08 mg/L). A composite summary score of inflammation was also created. The main outcome was risk of death after 4 years of follow-up.One hundred fifty deaths occurred during 4 years of follow-up. In the unadjusted model, high levels of each of the three markers were associated with greater mortality. After adjusting for potential confounders, high levels of IL-6 (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.18, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.29-3.69) and CRP (HR = 2.58, 95% CI = 1.52-4.40) were associated with a significantly greater risk of death, whereas the association between TNF-? protein levels and mortality was no longer significant (HR = 1.26, 95% CI = 0.74-2.15). The composite summary score of inflammation was strongly associated with mortality, with the highest risk estimated for individuals with all three inflammatory markers above the median.Low levels of inflammatory markers are associated with better survival in older adults, independent of age and other clinical and functional variables.
