BACKGROUND: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic and recurrent disease characterized by acute mood episodes and periods of euthymia. The available literature postulates that a biphasic dysregulation of mitochondrial bioenergetics might underpin the neurobiology of BD. However, most studies focused on inter-subject differences rather than intra-subject variations between different mood states. To test this hypothesis, in this preliminary proof-of-concept study, we measured in vivo mitochondrial respiration in patients with BD during a mood episode and investigated differences compared to healthy controls (HC) and to the same patients upon clinical remission.
METHODS: This longitudinal study recruited 20 patients with BD admitted to our acute psychiatric ward with a manic (n = 15) or depressive (n = 5) episode, and 10 matched HC. We assessed manic and depressive symptoms using standardized psychometric scales. Different mitochondrial oxygen consumption rates (OCRs: Routine, Leak, electron transport chain [ETC], Rox) were assessed during the acute episode (T0) and after clinical remission (T1) using high-resolution respirometry at 37°C by polarographic oxygen sensors in a two-chamber Oxygraph-2k system in one million of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMBC). Specific OCRs were expressed as mean ± SD in picomoles of oxygen per million cells. Significant results were adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index.
RESULTS: The longitudinal analysis showed a significant increase in the maximal oxygen consumption capacity (ETC) in clinical remission (25.7 ± 16.7) compared to the acute episodes (19.1 ± 11.8, p = 0.025), and was observed separately for patients admitted with a manic episode (29.2 ± 18.9 in T1, 22.3 ± 11.9 in T0, p = 0.076), and at a trend-level for patients admitted with a depressive episode (15.4 ± 3.9 in T1 compared to 9.4 ± 3.2 in T0, p = 0.107). Compared to HC, significant differences were observed in ETC in patients with a bipolar mood episode (H = 11.7; p = 0.003). Individuals with bipolar depression showed lower ETC than those with a manic episode (t = -3.7, p = 0.001). Also, significant differences were observed in ETC rates between HC and bipolar depression (Z = 1.000, p = 0.005).
CONCLUSIONS: Bioenergetic and mitochondrial dysregulation could be present in both manic and depressive phases in BD and, importantly, they may restore after clinical remission. These preliminary results suggest that mitochondrial respiratory capacity could be a biomarker of illness activity and clinical response in BD. Further studies with larger samples and similar approaches are needed to confirm these results and identify potential biomarkers in different phases of the disease.
