Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with low-grade inflammation, and it is considered a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). CD40 ligand (CD40L) plays an important role in inflammation, platelet activation, and clotting system activation. We investigated soluble CD40L (sCD40L) expression in MDD and assessed whether it may represent a molecular mechanism that links inflammation and a prothrombotic state and whether this condition may be modified by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) therapy.

Abstract

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with low-grade inflammation, and it is considered a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). CD40 ligand (CD40L) plays an important role in inflammation, platelet activation, and clotting system activation. We investigated soluble CD40L (sCD40L) expression in MDD and assessed whether it may represent a molecular mechanism that links inflammation and a prothrombotic state and whether this condition may be modified by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) therapy.
