We tested the association of vitamin D and inflammatory markers in 36 adolescents with bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) forms of MMD and without MMD (non-mood control). We also assessed the overall level of inflammation using a cell-based reporter assay for nuclear factor-kappa B activation and measuring antibodies to oxidized LDL. We found that these factors were similar between non-mood and MMD youth. To identify potential biomarkers, we developed a screening immunoprecipitation-sequencing approach based on inflammatory brain glia maturation factor beta (GMFß). We discovered that a homologue of GMFß in human plasma is low molecular weight vitamin D binding protein (DBP-L). DBP-L was 8 times more abundant in plasma of BD compared to control participants. DBP-L is a product of enzymatic cleavage, transforming DBP into a macrophage-activating factor. DBP levels in participants’ plasma were validated using western blot because mono- and polyclonal ELISA did not recognize DBP-L. We found significantly increased levels of total DBP and DBP-L in BD compared to control participants. The DBP responds early to cellular damage by scavenging structural proteins and activating inflammatory cells. Our data suggest DBP and DBP-L as marker candidates of BD warranting their validation in a larger cohort of adolescent and adult MMD patients. 2017-08-03 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1492642404941773 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1492642404941773 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
