Reports of cognitive decline, symptom worsening and brain atrophy in bipolar disorder (BD) suggests that the disease progresses over time. The worsening neuropathology may involve excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation. We determined protein and mRNA levels of excitotoxicity and neuroinflammatory markers in postmortem frontal cortex from 10 BD patients and 10 age-matched controls. The brain tissue was matched for age, postmortem interval and pH. The results indicated statistically significant lower protein and mRNA levels of the NMDA receptors, NR-1 and NR-3A, but significantly higher protein and mRNA levels of IL-1β, the IL-1 receptor, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), nuclear factor-kappa B subunits and astroglial and microglial markers (glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)), c-fos and CD11b) in postmortem frontal cortex from BD compared with control subjects. There was no significant difference in mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) or neuronal nNOS in the same region. These data demonstrate the presence of excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation in BD frontal cortex, with particular activation of the IL-R cascade. The changes may account for reported evidence of disease progression in BD, and be a target for future therapy.
