Abstract

Background. Significant heterogeneity in the clinical manifestations of mood disorders (MDs) complicates the diagnosis and selection of therapy in some cases. Currently, the search for biological markers of clinical manifestations is a promising area of research. One of the potential markers are platelet-derived growth factors – PDGF-AA and PDGF-BB. Objective: to determine the relationship between the level of platelet growth factors PDGF-AA and PDGF-BB with clinical and clinical-dynamic characteristics in patients with mood disorders. Materials and Methods. A study of 85 patients with mood disorders (bipolar disorder, depressive episode, recurrent depressive disorder) was carried out based on the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics and Biochemistry and the Affective States Department of the clinics of Mental Health Research Institute of Tomsk National Research Medical Center. For the clinical and psychopathological assessment of the patients' condition over time, the following psychometric tools were used: the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17), the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), the Clinical Global Impression of Illness Severity (CGI-S) scale, and the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS), Social Adaptation Self-evaluation Scale (SASS). The concentration of growth factors in the blood serum of patients was determined by the multiplex method using multiplex flow analyzers Magpix and Luminex 200 (Luminex, USA). Results. When measuring the levels of platelet-derived growth factors in patients with MDs, statistically significantly higher levels of both PDGF-AA and PDGF-BB were found compared with the corresponding indicators in mentally and physically healthy controls. It was found that the level of PDGF-AA positively correlated with the duration of MDs and the level of anhedonia on the SHAPS. Negative correlations were found between the level of PDGF-AA and indicators of the severity of anxiety, indicators of the severity of the disorder on the CGI-S scale, and the level of social adaptation on the SASS. When determining the correlation between the studied clinical and clinical-dynamic characteristics and the concentration of the platelet factor PDGF-BB, correlations were found: positive ‒ between PDGF-BB indicators, duration of MDs and the level of anhedonia, negative ‒ between PDGF-BB indicators and severity of the disease on the CGI-S scale, as well as indicators of subjective assessment of the level of social adaptation on the SASS. Conclusion. The study revealed relationships between the levels of platelet growth factors, clinical and clinical-dynamic characteristics of patients with mood disorders.
