Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Activated immune-inflammatory pathways play an important role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity is inversely associated with inflammatory responses in numerous clinical conditions. The aims of this study were to delineate serum arylesterase PON1 activity in drug-naïve first episode psychosis (FEP) patients and a healthy control group, and to assess whether there are inverse relationships between PON1 activity and cytokine levels. METHODS:A total of 51 drug-naïve FEP patients and 61 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Levels of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and activity of PON1 were quantified. RESULTS:Compared to healthy controls, FEP patients showed lower serum PON1 activity and higher levels of IL-4, IL-10 and TNF-α. A significant inverse relationship between PON1 activity and IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10 levels was detected, but not for TNF-α. Subjects with very low PON1 activity (25th quartile) presented significantly higher levels of IL-6, IL-10 and IL-4 than those with higher PON1 activity (75th quartile). CONCLUSION:The present study provides evidence that FEP is characterized by an inverse relationship between lowered activity of the anti-inflammatory/antioxidant enzyme PON1 and increased cytokine levels, including IL-6, IL-4 and IL-10. It is hypothesized that lowered PON1 activity may play a role in the immune-inflammatory response that accompanies FEP and that increased cytokine levels may further modulate PON1 activity.
