Abstract Psychotic and mood disorders are discussed as part of the same continuum. The potential role of immune dysregulation in defining their clinical presentations, however, remains unclear. Differences in TNF-α, IL-6 and TGF-β levels were investigated in 143 patients with schizophrenia (SCH = 63) and bipolar disorder (BD = 80), in remission. Cytokines were evaluated against the dimensional assessment of psychosis and affective symptoms using the schizo-bipolar scale, together with the severity of the same symptom domains measured by the brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS). Lower TGF-β was associated with more lifetime episodes, family risk for psychosis, and more severe mood and psychotic symptoms in all patients. BPRS Affect symptoms domain correlated with lower TGF-β levels in BD, and higher TGF-β levels in SCH patients. Using moderated mediation analysis, TGF-β was a relevant predictor only in the setting of non-categorical symptom distribution, with familial risk for psychosis confirmed as a significant moderator. Severity of BPRS Affect symptoms domain was an independent predictor of inclination towards the psychosis spectrum. The underlying immune dysregulation may be shared by the disorders, rather than a unique characteristic of each, having significant implications for our understanding of the continuum vs. categorical approach to psychosis and mood disorders. |
