Leukocyte gene expression as a function of perceived social isolation (PSI): Year 8

ABSTRACT: Individual differences in basal leukocyte gene expression profiles as a function of perceived social isolation (PSI) Gene expression profiling was carried out on peripheral blood mononuclear cell RNA samples collected from 93 adults in Year 8 of the Chicago Health Aging and Social Relations Study. Participants were assessed for PSI using the UCLA Loneliness Scale, and were also classified as chronically high in PSI (1/0) based on UCLA Loneliness Scale scores during study years 1-5. A 1-year lagged value of PSI is also included, and analyses additionally controlled for age at study entry, sex, race/ethnicity (dummy codes for Black and Hispanic), marital status, (log) household income, Body Mass Index (BMI), smoking history, heavy alcohol consumption, depressive symptoms (CESD), perceived stress (PSS), social support (SocSupp), circulating monocyte percentages, and RNA indicators of major leukocyte subsets (CD3E, CD3D, CD4, CD8A, CD19, FCGR3A/CD16, NCAM1/CD56, CD14).

Project description:Individual differences in basal leukocyte gene expression profiles as a function of child's and parent's perception of family stress, and as a function of parent's psychological well-being. Gene expression profiling was carried out on peripheral blood mononuclear cell mRNA samples collected from 273 individuals (129 parent:child pairs + 15 parent-or-child) who were also assessed on their perceptions of family stress (both parent's and child's perception). Each dyad is labeled by a case ID, with p suffix indicating parent's gene expression profile and c suffix indicating child's gene expression profile. Variations in gene expression are analyzed as a function of both parent's perception of family stress and child's perception of family stress (using UCLA Life Stress Interview, as previously described: Hammen C (1991) Generation of stress in the course of unipolar depression. J Abnorm Psychol 100:555-561; Adrian C, Hammen C (1993) Stress Exposure and Stress Generation in Children of Depressed Mothers. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 61:354-359; Rudolph KD, Hammen C (1999) Age and gender as determinants of stress exposure, generation, and reactions in youngsters: A transactional perspective. Child Development 70:660-677). Higher values indicate greater levels of subjectively perceived family stress. Additional data are available for 107 parents who completed all 6 subscales of the Psychological Well-Being (PWB) Scale (Ryff CD (1989) Happiness is everything, or is it? Explorations on the meaning of psychological well-being. J. Pers Soc. Psychol 57: 1069-1081), resulting in scores for PWB_Total (average score across all 6 subscales) as well as scores for subscales measuring Purpose in Life (PWB_Purpose), Environmental Mastery (PWB_Environmental_Mastery), Self-Acceptance (PWB_Self_Accept), Autonomy (PWB_Autonomy), Personal Growth (PWB_Growth), Positive Relations with Others (PWB_Relationship). Higher scores indicate greater psychological well being. Also available for those individuals are measures of age (years), male gender (0/1), ethnic group (1=White, 2=Chinese, 3=Indian, 4=Other Asian, 5=Other Ethnicity), Body Mass Index (kg/m^2), heavy alcohol consumption history (0/1), smoking history (0/1), and abundance of 8 mRNA transcripts indicating the relative prevalence of major leukocyte subsets (CD3E, CD3D, CD19, CD4, CD8A, FCGR3A, NCAM1, CD14). key word: Risk prediction
