Associations of pro-inflammatory factors and IL-10 levels with degree of suicide risk in adolescents with depression by Wenyuan Liu, Wenyuan Liu, Wenyuan Liu, Wenyuan Liu, Hongyu Zheng, Hongyu Zheng, Hongyu Zheng, Xiaofei Wen, Xiaofei Wen, Xiaofei Wen, Longxing Liu, Longxing Liu, Longxing Liu, Longxing Liu, Yue Yang, Yue Yang, Yue Yang, Yue Yang, Hui Zhong, Hui Zhong, Hui Zhong, Hui Zhong

“…Plasma levels of IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, and IL-10 in all participants were measured.ResultsPlasma levels of IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-10 differed between the suicide risk subgroups, and the differences remained significant after controlling for severity of depressive symptoms using covariance analysis. Pairwise comparison indicated that plasma levels of these four cytokines in the high suicide risk group were higher than those in the low suicide risk group (all p<0.05), among which the level of IL-10 was significantly higher than that in the medium and low risk groups. …”
