Introduction

After analysis of biological and pharmacological data, we formulated the hypothesis that the factors involved in trafficking of stem cells could be engaged in aetiology of bipolar disorder (BP).

Aims

In this study, we considered the role of complement cascade proteins, stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1), and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in long-term treated BP.

Methods

A group of 30 patients with BP, without the history of lithium treatment, was examined in remission and compared with a group of 30 healthy volunteers. In peripheral blood, we have analysed the concentration of stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1), sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), and some proteins of the complement cascade (C3a, C5a, C5b-9).

Results

Peripheral blood concentration of C3a, C5a, C5b-9 and SDF-1 was significantly higher in BP group compared to control group. The concentration of S1P does not distinguish BP patients from controls.

Conclusion

Our results suggest the possible role of the regeneration system in aetiology of BP.
