The molecular mechanisms underlying the link between ELA and MDD and/or TRD are yet unknown. It has been suggested that ELA induces an allostatic burden, which in turn promotes oxidative stress and an inflammatory response that are further intensified by the influence of maladaptive coping behaviour. In this study we explored the role of two markers of cellular aging and oxidative stress (leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn)) in TRD and in response to trauma-focused psychotherapies. The study comprised 30 TRD patients receiving trauma-focused psychotherapies and 65 healthy controls. LTL and mtDNAcn were measured at baseline and four weeks after the end of the psychotherapy sessions. Response was defined based on reduction in the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). In the case control analysis, the logistic regression model showed that mtDNAcn but not LTL was a significant predictor of diagnosis (chi-square 92.108, p = 7.72e-20; contribution of mtDNAcn, B = −9-297, p = 0.00009). In the TRD sample, LTL and mtDNAcn were inversely correlated with MADRS score at baseline (LTL, Pearson's r = −0.478, p = 0.008; mtDNAcn, Pearson's r = −0.656, p = 0.00008), but there was no difference in either LTL or mtDNAcn between responders and non-responders. In conclusion, our findings support an involvement of cellular aging in TRD, and suggest that LTL and mtDNAcn are not predictors or mediators of response to trauma-focused psychotherapies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100952,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience Applied","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 104095"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142592760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
