摘要
目的:衰老与促炎基因表达增加和全身性炎症有关,而心理社会压力可能加速这些变化。正念干预显示出减少心理社会压力和延长健康寿命的希望。炎症途径可能起作用。在一个孤独的老年人样本中,我们测试了正念训练是否会减少促炎基因表达和全身性炎症的蛋白质标志物。方法:65 ~ 85岁孤独老年人;N = 190)被随机分配到8周的正念减压(MBSR)或匹配的健康增强计划(HEP)。在干预前后和随访3个月时抽血。在外周血单核细胞(PBMCs)中,RNA谱分析用于评估促炎NF-kB、β-肾上腺素能CREB、抗病毒IRF和糖皮质激素受体(GR)转录因子的转录调节。检测血浆促炎标志物IL-6和CRP。分析测试时间(前,后,随访)的条件(MBSR与HEP)的影响。结果:随着时间的推移,MBSR降低了NF-kB (d = 0.17, p = 0.028),但没有改变相对于HEP的CREB (d = 0.10, p = 0.20)、IRF (d = 0.13, p = 0.086)或GR活性(d = 0.14, p = 0.063)。与预测相反,与HEP相比,MBSR在降低循环IL-6或CRP方面没有时间×条件效应。结论:在孤独的老年人中,正念减压可以降低细胞促炎基因的调节,从而预测疾病风险的降低。然而,在循环炎症蛋白标记物中没有观察到类似的效果。这些结果提供了正念干预如何影响老年人不同炎症标志物的特异性,这可能对健康寿命有重要影响。试验注册:临床试验标识符NCT02888600。
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Reduces Proinflammatory Gene Regulation But Not Systemic Inflammation Among Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Objective: Aging is associated with increased proinflammatory gene expression and systemic inflammation, and psychosocial stress may accelerate these changes. Mindfulness interventions show promise for reducing psychosocial stress and extending healthspan. Inflammatory pathways may play a role. In a sample of lonely older adults, we tested whether mindfulness training reduces proinflammatory gene expression and protein markers of systemic inflammation.
Methods: Lonely older adults (65-85 years; N = 190) were randomly assigned to an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) or matched Health Enhancement Program (HEP). Blood was drawn before and after the intervention and at 3-month follow-up. In peripheral blood mononuclear cells, RNA profiling was used to assess transcriptional regulation by proinflammatory nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) as well as β-adrenergic cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), antiviral interferon regulatory factor (IRF), and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) transcription factors. Plasma was assayed for proinflammatory markers interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Analyses tested time (pre, post, follow-up) by condition (MBSR versus HEP) effects.
Results: MBSR reduced NF-κB ( d = 0.17, p = .028) but did not alter CREB ( d = 0.10, p = .20), IRF ( d = 0.13, p = .086), or GR activity ( d = 0.14, p = .063) relative to HEP over time. Contrary to predictions, there were no time by condition effects of MBSR compared with HEP on reducing circulating IL-6 or CRP.
Conclusions: In lonely older adults, MBSR reduced cellular proinflammatory gene regulation in ways that would predict reduced disease risk. However, no similar effect was observed for circulating protein markers of inflammation. These results provide specificity about how mindfulness interventions may impact distinct inflammatory markers among aging adults in ways that may have important implications for healthspan.
期刊介绍:
Psychosomatic Medicine is the official peer-reviewed journal of the American Psychosomatic Society. The journal publishes experimental, clinical, and epidemiological studies on the role of psychological and social factors in the biological and behavioral processes relevant to health and disease. Psychosomatic Medicine is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal devoted to high-quality science on biobehavioral mechanisms, brain-behavior interactions relevant to physical and mental disorders, as well as interventions in clinical and public health settings.
Psychosomatic Medicine was founded in 1939 and publishes interdisciplinary research articles relevant to medicine, psychiatry, psychology, and other health-related disciplines. The print journal is published nine times a year; most articles are published online ahead of print. Supplementary issues may contain reports of conferences at which original research was presented in areas relevant to the psychosomatic and behavioral medicine.
