Psychoneuroimmunology and the cytokine action in the CNS: implications for psychiatric disorders

Progress in Neuro-psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry
N Müller, M Ackenheil

Abstract

1. Parallel to the current rapid development of new immunological methods, immune mechanisms are gaining more importance for our understanding of psychiatric disorders. The purpose of this article is to review basic and clinical investigations that elucidate the relationship between the CNS and the immune system. 2. The topical literature dealing with the interactions of immune system, neurotransmitters, psychological processes, and psychiatric disorders, especially in relation to cytokines, is reviewed. 3. An activation of the immune system in schizophrenia and depressive disorders has repeatedly been described. Cytokines, actively transported into the CNS, play a key role in this immune activation. It was recently observed that cytokines activate astrocytes and microglia cells, which in turn produce cytokines by a feedback mechanism. Moreover, they strongly influence the dopaminergic, noradrenergic, and serotonergic neurotransmission. 4. There are indications that the cascade of cytokines can be activated by neuronal processes. These findings close a theoretical gap between stress and its influence on immunity. Psychomotor, sickness behavior and sleep are related to IL-1; disturbances of memory and cognitive impairment are to...Continue Reading

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.

Blood Brain Barrier Regulation in Health & Disease

The blood brain barrier is essential in regulating the movement of molecules and substances in and out of the brain. Disruption to the blood brain barrier and changes in permeability allow pathogens and inflammatory molecules to cross the barrier and may play a part in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Here is the latest research in this field.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Blood Brain Barrier & Cytokines

Some cytokines are able to cross the blood brain barrier through transport systems and enter the cerebrospinal fluid and interstitial fluid spaces. Here is the latest research on cytokines crossing the blood brain barrier and how this can affect tissues within the CNS.
