Up to 30% of depressed patients present with an immune-mediated subtype, characterized by peripheral inflammation (high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) ≥ 3 mg/l) and an atypical symptom profile with fatigue, anhedonia, increased appetite, and hypersomnia. This immune-mediated subtype of MDD is associated with poorer response to first-line antidepressant treatment. Consequently, strategies for immune-targeted augmentation should be prioritised towards patients with this subtype. Meta-analyses have shown modest but heterogeneous treatment effects with immune-targeted augmentation in unstratified MDD cohorts, with celecoxib and minocycline as most promising first-line treatment options. However, no study has prospectively evaluated the effectiveness of &lt;em&gt;a priori&lt;/em&gt; stratification by baseline inflammation levels for add-on celecoxib or minocycline in MDD.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The INSTA-MD trial is a multicentre, 12-week, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group stratified clinical trial of adjunctive minocycline or celecoxib to treatment-as-usual for patients with MDD. Two hundred forty adult patients with Major Depressive Disorder who failed to remit with one or two trials of antidepressant treatment will be enrolled and allocated to high-hsCRP (hsCRP ≥3 mg/L) or low-hsCRP (hsCRP &lt;3 mg/L) strata, where disproportional stratified sampling will ensure equally sized strata. Participants in each hsCRP stratum will be randomised to augment their ongoing antidepressant treatment with either adjunctive minocycline, celecoxib or placebo for a duration of 12 weeks, resulting in six treatment arms of each 40 participants. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of immune-targeted augmentation with minocycline or celecoxib versus placebo, and the use of baseline hsCRP stratification to predict treatment response. Additionally, we will perform a head-to-head analysis between the two active compounds. The primary outcome measure is change in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17) total score.

Daratumumab often fails to induce stringent complete responses, due in part to resistance to antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) exerted by natural killer (NK)-cells and monocytes. Exercise bouts undertaken by healthy people induce lymphocytosis in blood, including to NK-cells and B-cells, but the effects of exercise are unknown in myeloma patients. In addition, whether exercise mobilises plasma cells has not been adequately investigated, and as such the potential impact of exercise on daratumumab treatment is unclear. In this exploratory pilot study, <em>n</em> = 16 smouldering multiple myeloma participants enrolled and <em>n</em> = 9 completed the study which comprised a bout of cycling 15% above anaerobic threshold for ∼30-min, with blood samples collected pre-, immediately post-, and 30-min post-exercise. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from blood samples and incubated with the RPMI-8226 plasmacytoma cell line, with or without the presence of daratumumab to determine specific lysis using a calcein-release assay.

However, the connection between the neuroimmune profile and the lung's inflammatory condition during COVID-19 and its association with the neurological symptoms reported by COVID-19 patients still needs further exploration. The present study characterizes the SARS-CoV-2 infectivity profile in <em>postmortem</em> nervous and lung tissue samples of patients who died due to severe COVID-19, and the pro-inflammatory factors present in both nervous and lung tissue samples, via a proteomic profiling array. Additionally, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) levels and intracellular pathways related to neuroplasticity/neuroprotection were assessed in the samples. Out of the 16 samples analyzed, all samples but 1 were positive for the viral genome (genes E or N2, but only 3.9% presented E and N2) in the olfactory brain pathway. The E or N2 gene were also detected in all lung samples, with 43.7% of the samples being positive for the E and N2 genes. In the E/N2 positive brain samples, the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 co-localized with TUJ-1+ (neuron-specific class III beta-tubulin) and GFAP+ (glial fibrillary acidic protein) astrocytes.

While intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), interleukin-8 (IL-8), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) were increased in lung samples from SARS-Cov-2 patients, only MIF and IL-18 were detected in nervous tissue samples. Correlation analysis suggested that high levels of IL-6 are followed by increased levels of IL-10 in the brain, but not in lung samples. Our analysis also demonstrated that the presence of comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and hypothyroidism, is associated with neuroinflammation, while chronic kidney conditions predict the presence of neurological symptoms, which correlate with lower levels of BDNF in the brain samples.

Glioblastomas, and other primary brain tumors, are refractory to ICIs as monotherapy or in combination with standard therapy. The tumor microenvironment (TME) poses multiple biological hurdles: blood-brain barrier, immune suppression, heterogeneity, and tumor infiltration. Genomic analysis of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and preclinical models of glioma suggest that an exciting approach would entail reprogramming of the glioma microenvironment, attenuating the pro-inflammatory, pro-tumorigenic cytokines of the SASP, especially interleukin-6 (IL-6). A testable hypothesis now proposed is to modulate the immune system by harnessing the body's ‘inflammatory reflex’ to reduce cytokines. Vagus nerve stimulation can activate T cell immunity by the cholinergic, α7nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist (α7nAchR), and suppress IL-6 systemically, as well as other pro-inflammatory cytokines of the SASP, interleukin -1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). The hypothesis predicts that electrical activation of the vagus nerve, with cytokine reduction, in combination with ICIs, would convert an immune resistant (“cold”) tumor to an immune responsive (“hot”) tumor, and halt glioma progression. The hypothesis also envisions cancer as an immune “dysautonomia” whereby a therapeutic intervention, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), resets the systemic and local cytokine levels. A prospective, randomized, phase II clinical trial, to confirm the hypothesis, is a logical, exigent, next step. Cytokine reduction by VNS could also be useful for other forms of human cancer, e.g., breast, colorectal, head and neck, lung, melanoma, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancer, as the emerging field of “cancer neuroscience” shows a role for neural regulation of multiple tumor types. Because IL-6, and companion pro-inflammatory cytokines, participate in the initiation, progression, spread and recurrence of cancer, minimally invasive VNS could be employed to suppress glioma or cancer progression, while also mitigating depression and/or seizures, thereby enhancing quality of life. The current hypothesis reimagines glioma pathophysiology as a dysautonomia with the therapeutic objective to reset the autonomic nervous system and form an immune responsive state to halt tumor progression and prevent recurrence. VNS, as a novel method to control cancer, can be administered with ICIs, standard therapy, or in clinical trials, combined with emerging immunotherapy: dendritic cell, mRNA, or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell vaccines.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72454,"journal":{"name":"Brain, behavior, & immunity - health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142528567","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}

Overall, 136 participants were recruited including 90 with uncomplicated midlife T2DM (age 52.6 ± 8.3; 47% female) and 46 without (age 52.9 ± 8.03; 61% female). Cognitive trajectories were stable over time and did not differ with T2DM. Yet on cross-sectional analyses at both baseline and follow-up, greater circulating IL-17A was consistently associated with poorer performance on tests of executive function/attention (β: 0.21; −0.40, −0.02, p = 0.03 at baseline; β: 0.26; −0.46, −0.05, p = 0.02 at follow-up). Associations persisted on covariate adjustment and did not differ by T2DM status. In summary, we provide evidence that greater circulating IL-17A levels were associated with poorer executive function in midlife, independent of T2DM. Long-term follow-up of this and other cohorts will further elucidate the earliest stages in the relationship between systemic inflammation and cognitive decline to provide further mechanistic insights and potentially identify those at greatest risk for later cognitive decline.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72454,"journal":{"name":"Brain, behavior, & immunity - health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666354624001406/pdfft?md5=cd5bf33b4d7873276ca0aa7922125495&pid=1-s2.0-S2666354624001406-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142270320","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}
