Innate and adaptive immune system consequences of post-traumatic stress disorder
2024, Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic and ClinicalSerotonin-1A receptor, a psychiatric disease risk factor, influences offspring immunity via sex-dependent genetic nurture
2022, iScienceCitation Excerpt :In contrast to its low expression in the hematopoietic and immune system, 5HT1AR is highly expressed in the brain, particularly in the limbic system, cortex, and raphe nuclei. Although this potential link has not been studied, circulating hormones of the neuroendocrine system (e.g., ACTH and glucocorticoids)55,56 may represent a bridge between central 5HT1ARs and the maternal immune system. Reduced 5HT1AR in the medial hypothalamus has been linked to exaggerated ACTH responses to stress,57 and chronic activation of the HPA axis via elevated levels of glucocorticoids may compromise the immune system by influencing the stimulus-responsiveness and trafficking of immune cells, including lymphocytes, neutrophils, and NK cells.58,59
The effects of pessimism on cell-mediated immunity in rats
2018, Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Indeed, the spleen has an extensive innervations of sympathetic neurons, and the splenic nerve contains approximately 98% sympathetic C-fibres (Klein et al., 1982). Noradrenaline modulates the immune functions of several types of lymphoid cells, mainly via β-adrenergic receptors (β-AR) present on those cells and catecholamines or β-AR agonists via increasing the amount of cAMP produced by T cells inhibited proliferation of these cells and IL-2 secretion induced by mitogens (Bartik et al., 1993; Chambers et al., 1993; Hadden et al., 1970). The decrease in T cell proliferation observed in ‘pessimistic’ animals might be due, at least in part, to the catecholamine-induced decrease in IL-2 level.
Effects of catecholamines on thymocyte apoptosis and proliferation depend on thymocyte microenvironment
2014, Journal of NeuroimmunologyCitation Excerpt :Second, apart from β-AR, rat thymocytes express α1-AR (Pešić et al., 2009; Leposavić et al., 2010). Third, α1-AR stimulation has anti-apoptotic impact on distinct types of cells, including cardiomyocytes (Singh et al., 2001), testicular (Andrić et al., 2012) and prostatic cancer cells (Tahmatzopoulos and Kyprianou, 2004), and augments the proliferation of many cell types (Hiramoto et al., 2006; Liou et al., 2009; Ishizuka and Watanabe, 2011), including T lymphocytes (Hadden et al., 1970). Fourth, studies on post-α-AR signaling in T lymphocytes showed that activation of MAPK kinase (Karkoulias et al., 2006; Yaniv et al., 2010) and transcriptional factor NFκB (Lymperopoulos et al., 2006) ultimately leads to the expression of genes encoding the proteins involved in the regulation of cell proliferative and anti-apoptotic responses (Weil and Israel, 2004).
