Neurotrophins, cytokines, oxidative stress mediators and mood state in bipolar disorder: systematic review and meta-analyses.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:A reliable biomarker signature for bipolar disorder sensitive to illness phase would be of considerable clinical benefit. Among circulating blood-derived markers there has been a significant amount of research into inflammatory markers, neurotrophins and oxidative stress markers.AimsTo synthesise and interpret existing evidence of inflammatory markers, neurotrophins and oxidative stress markers in bipolar disorder focusing on the mood phase of illness. METHOD:Following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses) guidelines, a systematic review was conducted for studies investigating peripheral biomarkers in bipolar disorder compared with healthy controls. We searched Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, SciELO and Web of Science, and separated studies by bipolar mood phase (mania, depression and euthymia). Extracted data on each biomarker in separate mood phases were synthesised using random-effects model meta-analyses. RESULTS:In total, 53 studies were included, comprising 2467 cases and 2360 controls. Fourteen biomarkers were identified from meta-analyses of three or more studies. No biomarker differentiated mood phase in bipolar disorder individually. Biomarker meta-analyses suggest a combination of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein/interleukin-6, brain derived neurotrophic factor/tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-? and soluble TNF-? receptor 1 can differentiate specific mood phase in bipolar disorder. Several other biomarkers of interest were identified. CONCLUSIONS:Combining biomarker results could differentiate individuals with bipolar disorder from healthy controls and indicate a specific mood-phase signature. Future research should seek to test these combinations of biomarkers in longitudinal studies.Declaration of interestNone.

Project description:Changes in motor activity are core symptoms of mood episodes in bipolar disorder. The manic state is characterized by increased variance, augmented complexity and irregular circadian rhythmicity when compared to healthy controls. No previous studies have compared mania to euthymia intra-individually in motor activity. The aim of this study was to characterize differences in motor activity when comparing manic patients to their euthymic selves. Motor activity was collected from 16 bipolar inpatients in mania and remission. 24-h recordings and 2-h time series in the morning and evening were analyzed for mean activity, variability and complexity. Lastly, the recordings were analyzed with the similarity graph algorithm and graph theory concepts such as edges, bridges, connected components and cliques. The similarity graph measures fluctuations in activity reasonably comparable to both variability and complexity measures. However, direct comparisons are difficult as most graph measures reveal variability in constricted time windows. Compared to sample entropy, the similarity graph is less sensitive to outliers. The little-understood estimate Bridges is possibly revealing underlying dynamics in the time series. When compared to euthymia, over the duration of approximately one circadian cycle, the manic state presented reduced variability, displayed by decreased standard deviation (p = 0.013) and augmented complexity shown by increased sample entropy (p = 0.025). During mania there were also fewer edges (p = 0.039) and more bridges (p = 0.026). Similar significant changes in variability and complexity were observed in the 2-h morning and evening sequences, mainly in the estimates of the similarity graph algorithm. Finally, augmented complexity was present in morning samples during mania, displayed by increased sample entropy (p = 0.015). In conclusion, the motor activity of mania is characterized by altered complexity and variability when compared within-subject to euthymia.

Project description:ObjectiveThe Course and Outcome of Bipolar Youth study found that children and adolescents with bipolar spectrum disorders followed 1 of 4 distinct mood trajectories over 8 years of follow-up, with as many as 25% of participants showing a predominantly euthymic course. We evaluated whether similar patterns of illness course are observed in adolescents with bipolar I and II disorder who participated in a 2-year clinical trial.MethodA total of 144 adolescents with bipolar I or II disorder, identified shortly after a mood episode, were assessed over a 2-year period. Participants were randomly assigned to one of 2 psychosocial family treatments during the first 9 months of the study, and pharmacotherapy was provided throughout the 2 years. Using latent class growth analyses, we classified participants into distinct courses of illness based on mood ratings collected over the 2 years. We examined demographic and illness variables as predictors of these course classifications.ResultsLatent class growth analyses indicated four mood trajectories: "predominantly euthymic" (29.9% of sample), "ill with significantly improving course" (11.1%), "moderately euthymic" (26.4%), and "ill with moderately improving course" (32.6%). Adolescents in these classes were euthymic 77.7%, 53.6%, 44.1%, and 18.6% of the weeks of follow-up, respectively. Psychosocial treatment condition and baseline medication exposure were not associated with trajectories. However, youth with more severe baseline depressive symptoms, suicidality, lower quality of life scores, and minority race/ethnicity had more symptomatic courses of illness over time.ConclusionA substantial proportion (25%-30%) of youth with bipolar I or II disorder maintain euthymic states over extended periods of follow-up. Identifying youth who are more and less likely to remain stable over time may help guide psychosocial and pharmacological treatments after an illness episode.Clinical trial registration informationEffectiveness of Family-Focused Treatment Plus Pharmacotherapy for Bipolar Disorder in Adolescents; https://clinicaltrials.gov/; NCT00332098.
