Résumé
Chronic low-grade inflammation is observed across mental disorders and is associated with difficult-to-treat-symptoms of anhedonia and functional brain changes - reflecting a potential transdiagnostic dimension. Previous investigations have focused on distinct illness categories in those with enduring illness, with few exploring inflammatory changes. We sought to identify an inflammatory signal and associated brain function underlying anhedonia among young people with recent onset psychosis (ROP) and recent onset depression (ROD). Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, inflammatory markers, and anhedonia symptoms were collected from N=108 (M age=26.2[SD 6.2]years; Female =50) participants with ROP (n=53) and ROD (n=55) from the EU-FP7-funded PRONIA study. Time-series were extracted using the Schaefer atlas, defining 100 cortical regions of interest. Using advanced multimodal machine learning, an inflammatory marker model and functional connectivity model were developed to classify an anhedonic group, compared to a normal hedonic group. A repeated nested cross-validation model using inflammatory markers classified normal hedonic and anhedonic ROP/ROD groups with a balanced accuracy (BAC) of 63.9%, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.61. The functional connectivity model produced a BAC of 55.2% and an AUC of 0.57. Anhedonic group assignment was driven by higher levels of Interleukin-6, S100B, and Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, and lower levels of Interferon gamma, in addition to connectivity within the precuneus and posterior cingulate. We identified a potential transdiagnostic anhedonic subtype that was accounted for by an inflammatory profile and functional connectivity. Results have implications for anhedonia as an emerging transdiagnostic target across emerging mental disorders.

BACKGROUND
Chronic low-grade inflammation is observed across mental disorders and is associated with difficult-to-treat-symptoms of anhedonia and functional brain changes - reflecting a potential transdiagnostic dimension. Previous investigations have focused on distinct illness categories in those with enduring illness, with few exploring inflammatory changes. We sought to identify an inflammatory signal and associated brain function underlying anhedonia among young people with recent onset psychosis (ROP) and recent onset depression (ROD).
METHOD
METHODS
Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, inflammatory markers, and anhedonia symptoms were collected from N=108 (M age=26.2[SD 6.2]years; Female =50) participants with ROP (n=53) and ROD (n=55) from the EU-FP7-funded PRONIA study. Time-series were extracted using the Schaefer atlas, defining 100 cortical regions of interest. Using advanced multimodal machine learning, an inflammatory marker model and functional connectivity model were developed to classify an anhedonic group, compared to a normal hedonic group.

RESULTS
A repeated nested cross-validation model using inflammatory markers classified normal hedonic and anhedonic ROP/ROD groups with a balanced accuracy (BAC) of 63.9%, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.61. The functional connectivity model produced a BAC of 55.2% and an AUC of 0.57. Anhedonic group assignment was driven by higher levels of Interleukin-6, S100B, and Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, and lower levels of Interferon gamma, in addition to connectivity within the precuneus and posterior cingulate.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
We identified a potential transdiagnostic anhedonic subtype that was accounted for by an inflammatory profile and functional connectivity. Results have implications for anhedonia as an emerging transdiagnostic target across emerging mental disorders.
