Depressive and Negative Symptoms in the Early and Established Stages of Schizophrenia: Integrating Structural Brain Alterations, Cognitive Performance, and Plasma Interleukin 6 Lev... by Fabiana Corsi-Zuelli, Gary Donohoe, Siân Lowri Griffiths, Cristina M. Del-Ben, Andrew J. Watson, Tom Burke, Paris A. Lalousis, Declan McKernan, Derek Morris, John Kelly, Colm McDonald, Saahithh R. Patlola, Carmine Pariante, Nicholas M. Barnes, Golam M. Khandaker, John Suckling, Bill Deakin, Rachel Upthegrove, Maria R. Dauvermann

“…Methods: We evaluated whether higher plasma interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels would be associated with more severe negative or depressive symptoms in schizophrenia and explored illness stage utilizing early (BeneMin [Benefit of Minocycline on Negative Symptoms of Psychosis: Extent and Mechanism], n = 201, 72.8% male) and established (iRELATE [Immune Response & Social Cognition in Schizophrenia], n = 94, 67.3% male) schizophrenia cohorts. Using structural equation modeling in a subsample (iRELATE: n = 42, 69.0% male; BeneMin: n = 102, 76.5% male) with data on structural brain metrics (cortical thickness and volume), general cognitive performance, and plasma IL-6 levels, we assessed the interrelationships between these variables on depressive and negative symptom severity in early and established schizophrenia samples combined and in early schizophrenia only. …”
