Stress peripheral immune system effects

The activation of the stress systems affects all tissues of the organism, and the peripheral immune system is no exception. These effects are mediated through at least tw o pathways via the HPA axis and by virtue of the innervation of lymphatic tissues by autonomic nerve fibers, especially from the sympathetic nervous system. All lymphoid tissues, primary (bone marrow and thymus) as well as secondary (spleen, lymph nodes, and gut-associated lymphoid tissue) are innervated by sympathetic nerve fibers. As discussed above, most lymphoid cells express catecholamine receptors, including B-lymphocytes, CD4- and CD 8-positive T cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages. [Pg.482]

The effect of chronic stress on the peripheral immune system and its relevance for major depression has extensively been discussed (O Brien et al., 2004). Recent in vivo evidence now suggests that stress-induced elevation of glucocorticoids also enhances immune function within the CNS through microglia activation and proliferation. Animal studies show that stress induces an enhanced expression of proinflammatory factors like IL-1(3 (Pugh et al., 1999 Nguyen et al., 1998), macro-... [Pg.519]
