Proinflammatory Effect of Stress

activity: relationship with proinflammatory cytokines and behavior. Molecular
Psychiatry, 15, 535-547.
• Summary: IFN-alpha/ribavirin administration was associated with significant
flattening of the diurnal ACTH and cortisol slope and increased evening plasma
ACTH and cortisol concentrations. These data indicate that chronic exposure to
innate immune cytokines may contribute to the altered diurnal HPA axis activity and
behavior found in medically ill individuals.

The Genie in Your Genes
• Health and behavior assessment procedures are used to identify the
psychological, behavioral, emotional, cognitive and social factors
important to the prevention, treatment, or management of physical health
problems. The focus of the assessment is not on mental health, but on the
biopsychosocial factors important to physical health and treatments. The
focus of the intervention is to improve the patient’s health and well being
utilizing cognitive, behavioral, social and/or psychophysiological
procedures designed to ameliorate specific disease-related problems.
Codes 96150-96155 describe services associated with an acute or chronic
illness (not meeting criteria for psychiatric diagnosis), prevention of a
physical illness or disability, and maintenance of health, not meeting
criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis, or representing a preventive medicine
service.

Results: Baseline negative affect was associated with >50% differential expression of 201 leukocyte transcripts, including upregulated expression
of pro-inflammatory and metastasis-related genes. CBSM altered leukocyte expression of 91 genes by >50% at follow-up (group x time
interaction), including downregulation of pro-inflammatory and metastasis-related genes and upregulation of type I interferon response genes.
Promoter-based bioinformatic analyses implicated decreased activity of NF-kB/Rel and GATA family transcription factors and increased activity
of interferon response factors and the glucocorticoid receptor as potential mediators of CBSM-induced transcriptional alterations.
