Nevertheless, this study lends further support to the inflammatory hypothesis of depressive disorders [65, 66], with a specific focus on persistent immune activation and increased brain expression levels of allergy-related Th2 cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 [56], as well as Th1 cytokines (i.e., tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, IL-6), and decreased levels of regulatory cytokines such as IL-10 [55, 67, 68]. The gene discussed is IL4; the disease is Allergy.
