We studied neuroinflammation in individuals with late-life depression, as a risk factor for dementia, using [C]PK11195 positron emission tomography (PET). Five older participants with major depression and 13 controls underwent PET and multimodal 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with blood taken to measure C-reactive protein (CRP). We found significantly higher CRP levels in those with late-life depression and raised [C]PK11195 binding compared with controls in brain regions associated with depression, including subgenual anterior cingulate cortex, and significant hippocampal subfield atrophy in cornu ammonis 1 and subiculum. Our findings suggest neuroinflammation requires further investigation in late-life depression, both as a possible aetiological factor and a potential therapeutic target.
我们使用[C]PK11195正电子发射断层扫描(PET)研究了老年期抑郁症患者的神经炎症,将其作为痴呆症的一个风险因素。五名患有重度抑郁症的老年参与者和13名对照者接受了PET和多模态3T磁共振成像(MRI)检查,并采集血液以测量C反应蛋白(CRP)。我们发现,与对照组相比,老年期抑郁症患者的CRP水平显著升高,且在与抑郁症相关的脑区,包括膝下前扣带回皮质,[C]PK11195结合增加,并且海马角1和下托存在显著的海马亚区萎缩。我们的研究结果表明,神经炎症在老年期抑郁症中需要进一步研究,既是可能的病因因素,也是潜在的治疗靶点。
