Inflammation May Amplify Effect of Genetic Risk Variants for Schizophrenia

Pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1 beta and IL-6 stimulate the expression of the schizophrenia-related C4A gene. Patients with high C4A expression displayed increased levels of IL-1 beta in cerebral spinal fluid samples. C4A levels were also correlated with markers of synaptic density. Findings reveal inflammation enhances the genetic risk variant for schizophrenia.

Pain-Sensing Gut Neurons Protect Against Inflammation

Pain-sensing neurons in the put secrete substance P, a molecule that protects against gut inflammation and tissue damage by boosting specific microbes in the gut. In people with inflammatory bowel disease, the pain-sensing neurons are diminished and there are significant disruptions in pain-signaling genes.

A Possible Brain Mechanisms Behind COVID-19 Delirium

Brain cells exposed to blood taken from COVID-19 patients with delirium showed a decrease in neurogenesis and an increase in cell death. The findings also indicate a key role for cytokines produced in the immune system during infection and shed light on the molecular mechanisms of COVID-19 related delirium.
