Circulating TNF-α levels increased and correlated negatively with IGF-I in postoperative cognitive dysfunction.
Neurological Sciences 2017 August
Signaling pathways of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are found to be functionally interrelated in some experimental studies. IGF-I may be involved in the pathogenesis of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). In order to investigate the possible interaction of TNF-α and IGF-I in POCD, the plasma levels of IGF-I and TNF-α were determined in 44 patients under general anesthesia. As compared with non-POCD patients, POCD patients showed increased TNF-α and decreased IGF-I levels in plasma, as well as a significant negative correlation between TNF-α and IGF-I values. The present results suggest that interaction of increased TNF-α levels and decreased IGF-1 levels might lead to a vicious circle, which may contribute to POCD.
