Activation of immune-inflammatory pathways in major depression has now been consolidated in meta-analysis studies indicating increased IL-6, TNFα, sIL-2R, IL-1β, sIL-1RA, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in major depression (Howren et al. 2009; Dowlati et al. 2010; Liu et al. 2012; Hiles et al. 2012; Valkanova et al. 2013; Haapakoski et al. 2015; Köhler et al. 2017). This evidence concerns the gene IL1B and major depressive disorder.
