Abstract
Both olanzapine and aripiprazole stimulation decreased mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α and resulted in diminished protein concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α in conditioned medium of stimulated PBMC. A multiplex approach revealed additional downregulation of IL-2; MIP-1β and IP-10 secretion. Similarly, olanzapine and aripiprazole stimulation of the human monocytic cell line THP-1 resulted in a significant decrease in expression and secretion of IL-1β and TNF-α. Our results suggest that atypical antipsychotics directly influence immune cell function and thereby highlight the importance to factor in potential side effects of drugs routinely used in treatment of schizophrenia and major depression on inflammatory processes when considering anti-inflammatory drug therapy as an additional treatment option.
