Abstract
Migraine is a highly prevalent neurological disorder. Among the risk factors identified, psychiatric comorbidities, such as depression, seem to play an important role in its onset and clinical course. Patients with migraine are 2.5 times more likely to develop a depressive disorder; this risk becomes even higher in patients suffering from chronic migraine or migraine with aura. This relationship is bidirectional, since depression also predicts an earlier/worse onset of migraine, increasing the risk of migraine chronicity and, consequently, requiring a higher healthcare expenditure compared to migraine alone. All these data suggest that migraine and depression may share overlapping biological mechanisms. Herein, this review explores this topic in further detail: firstly, by introducing the common epidemiological and risk factors for this comorbidity; secondly, by focusing on providing the cumulative evidence of common biological aspects, with a particular emphasis on the serotoninergic system, neuropeptides such as calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP), pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), substance P, neuropeptide Y and orexins, sexual hormones, and the immune system; lastly, by remarking on the future challenges required to elucidate the etiopathological mechanisms of migraine and depression and providing updated information regarding new key targets for the pharmacological treatment of these clinical entities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Imbalances in immune regulation are important features of migraine pathophysiology. In line with this, the current study investigated the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation on inflammatory and anti-inflammatory markers in patients with migraines. MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial consisted of 40 patients that were prone to experiencing episodic migraines. For two months, participants were randomized into one group that received omega-3 supplementation (n= 20), 600 mg of EPA and 300 mg of DHA, twice daily) or another group that received a placebo (n= 20). Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), interleukin (IL)-4, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and interleukin (IL)-17 serum levels were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods at baseline and following the intervention. The current study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov with the registration number NCT02532023. RESULTS After two months of intervention, the administration of omega-3 fatty acids resulted in a significant rise in the concentrations of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 (p=0.010) as well as a significant reduction in concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokine IFN-γ (p=0.001) compared with the placebo. However, no significant changes were observed in serum TGF-β and IL-17 levels. DISCUSSION Our findings indicated consumption of omega-3 fatty acids may have a potentially beneficial response on the inflammatory immune response in patients with migraines. Larger trials are needed to corroborate these findings.

Abstract
5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; serotonin) is traditionally considered as a key mediator implicated in migraine. Multiple 5-HT receptor subtypes contribute to a variety of region-specific functional effects. The raphé nuclei control nociceptive inputs by releasing 5-HT in the brainstem, whereas dural mast cells provide the humoral source of 5-HT in the meninges. Triptans (5-HT1B/D agonists) and ditans (5-HT1F agonists) are the best established 5-HT anti-migraine agents. However, activation of meningeal afferents via ionotropic 5-HT3 receptors results in long-lasting excitatory drive suggesting a pro-nociceptive role for these receptors in migraine. Nevertheless, clinical data do not clearly support the applicability of currently available 5-HT3 antagonists to migraine treatment. The reasons for this might be the presence of 5-HT3 receptors on inhibitory interneurons dampening the excitatory drive, a lack of 5-HT3 A-E subunit-selective antagonists and gender/age-dependent effects. This review is focusing on the controversial role of 5-HT3 receptors in migraine pathology and related pharmacological perspectives of 5-HT ligands.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The immunological changes associated with COVID-19 are largely unknown. METHODS Patients with COVID-19 showing moderate (n = 18; SpO2 > 93%, respiratory rate > 22 per minute, CRP > 10 mg/L) and severe (n = 23; SpO2 < 93%, respiratory rate >30 per minute, PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 300 mmHg, permanent oxygen therapy, qSOFA > 2) infection, and 37 healthy donors (HD) were enrolled. Circulating T- and B-cell subsets were analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS CD4+Th cells were skewed toward Th2-like phenotypes within CD45RA+CD62L- (CM) and CD45RA-CD62L- (EM) cells in patients with severe COVID-19, while CM CCR6+ Th17-like cells were decreased if compared with HD. Within CM Th17-like cells "classical" Th17-like cells were increased and Th17.1-like cells were decreased in severe COVID-19 cases. Circulating CM follicular Th-like (Tfh) cells were decreased in all COVID-19 patients, and Tfh17-like cells represented the most predominant subset in severe COVID-19 cases. Both groups of patients showed increased levels of IgD-CD38++ B cells, while the levels of IgD+CD38- and IgD-CD38- were decreased. The frequency of IgD+CD27+ and IgD-CD27+ B cells was significantly reduced in severe COVID-19 cases. CONCLUSIONS We showed an imbalance within almost all circulating memory Th subsets during acute COVID-19 and showed that altered Tfh polarization led to a dysregulated humoral immune response.

Abstract
The exact etiology of migraine has not yet been fully understood. There is no specific diagnostic test for migraine and is often misdiagnosed like all other types of headaches. The lack of a diagnostic test is also a significant impediment to migraine management. In previous clinical studies, the author and his team found decreased levels of CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T cells (Treg) in migraine patients. These reductions were significant in the ictal phase of migraine, regardless of the subtype of migraines. Interestingly, the recent preclinical study demonstrated a significant improvement in nitroglycerine induced headache by activating Treg cells. Therefore, the author argued that peripheral Treg cell levels can be a therapeutically relevant biomarker for migraine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between caesarean section and migraine in a population-based register-linked cohort study. SETTING Data from the population-based Nord-Trøndelag Health Studies (HUNT2 and HUNT3) were linked to information from the Norwegian Medical Birth Registry. PARTICIPANTS 65 343 participants responded to the headache questions in any of the two HUNT studies. Only those answering the headache questions in HUNT2 or 3 and had information about mode of delivery in the Norwegian Medical Birth Registry (born after 1967) were included. Our final sample consisted of 6592 women and 4602 men, aged 19-41 years. OUTCOMES ORs for migraine given caesarean section. Analyses were performed in multivariate logistic regression models. RESULTS After adjusting for sex, age and fetal growth restriction, delivery by caesarean section was not associated with migraine later in life (OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.64 to 1.15). Delivery by caesarean section was associated with a reduced OR of non-migrainous headache (OR 0.77, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.99). CONCLUSION No association was found between caesarean section and migraine in this population-based register-linked study.

Abstract
Introduction: A better understanding of etiology might improve poor outcomes of trochlear headaches (TRHs). Aims: To study clinical spectrum, etiology, and therapeutic response of TRH. Methods: Fifty-three TRH patients seen in a single center between 2015 and 2020 were included, excluding Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgia (TAC). Results: Mean age was 36.45 years (range 11–85 years), with 77.35% being females. Twenty-five patients had continuous trochlear headache (CTRH) and 28 episodic trochlear headache (ETRH). Tension-type headache (TTH) occurred in 9 ETRH patients and 24 of 25 CTRH patients, and migraine-like headaches occurred in 19 ETRH patients and 8 CTRH (trochlear migraine) patients. Prior history of headaches was noted in 22 of 28 ETRH and 11 of 25 CTRH patients. Twenty-eight responded to migraine/TTH prophylaxis, 25 being nonresponders (partial/no response). Fourteen of 25 nonresponders, 4 of 28 responders (4 of 4 secondary and 5 of 9 idiopathic trochleitis (IT), 3 of 9 primary TRH (PTRH), and 6 of 28 ETRH) had autoantibodies, that is, 11 antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) and 7 antithyroid antibodies. Ten of 14 (71.42%) antibody-positive nonresponders improved with immunosuppressants including steroids/hydroxychloroquine and only 11 required local injections. Finally, 38 patients had good response, 13 partial, and 2 no response. The etiology and refractoriness of IT can be attributed to underlying autoimmunity and a minor contribution by primary headaches, vice versa being the case for PTRH and ETRH. Refractory TRHs should be evaluated for underlying autoimmunity and primary headaches. Conclusion: Identification and treatment of underlying autoimmunity and primary headaches can help improve outcome of TRH.

Abstract
The role of the immune system as an integral component of the inflammatory response in the pathophysiology of migraine remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in immune system parameters (acquired immunity parameters) in patients with episodic migraine (EM) and in healthy controls. In EM patients, we aimed to determine whether the changes found in peripheral blood parameters were related to migraine severity according to the standardised MIDAS and HIT-6 tests. Forty-nine patients with EM and 50 healthy controls were included in this study. The authors compared different lymphocyte parameters obtained by multicolor flow cytometry in the EM and control groups by performing statistical tests. The relationship between the changes in peripheral blood parameters and migraine severity in EM patients was investigated using correlation and regression analysis. EM patients showed higher values than healthy controls, especially in nine parameters: relative count of lymphocytes, relative and absolute counts of CD3 T cells, relative and absolute counts of CD8 suppressor cytotoxic T cells, relative and absolute counts of CD4 + TEMRA (terminally differentiated helper T lymphocytes), absolute count of CD8 naïve T cells, and absolute count of CD19 switched memory B cells. Among the lymphocyte parameters, CD4 + TEM (effector memory helper T lymphocytes) and CD8 + TEMRA (terminally differentiated cytotoxic T lymphocytes) were statistically significantly associated with HIT-6. Patients with a CD4 + TEM value below 15 had a high probability (90%) that the HIT-6 value would be higher than 60. The results of this study show that EM patients have changes in immune system parameters measured in the peripheral blood. Changes in the abundance of CD4 + TEM could be used as a biomarker for disease severity.

Abstract
Headache disorders are highly prevalent and debilitating, with limited treatment options. Previous studies indicate that many proinflammatory immune cells contribute to headache pathophysiology. Given the well-recognized role of regulatory T (Treg) cells in maintaining immune homeostasis, we hypothesized that enhancing Treg function may be effective to treat multiple headache disorders. In a mouse model of chronic migraine, we observed that repeated nitroglycerin (NTG, a reliable trigger of migraine in patients) administration doubled the number of CD3 T cells in the trigeminal ganglia without altering the number of Treg cells, suggesting a deficiency in Treg-mediated immune homeostasis. We treated mice with low-dose interleukin-2 (ld-IL2) to preferentially expand and activate endogenous Treg cells. This not only prevented the development of NTG-induced persistent sensitization but also completely reversed the established facial skin hypersensitivity resulting from repeated NTG administration. The effect of ld-IL2 was independent of mouse sex and/or strain. Importantly, ld-IL2 treatment did not alter basal nociceptive responses, and repeated usage did not induce tolerance. The therapeutic effect of ld-IL2 was abolished by Treg depletion and was recapitulated by Treg adoptive transfer. Furthermore, treating mice with ld-IL2 1 to 7 days after mild traumatic brain injury effectively prevented as well as reversed the development of behaviors related to acute and chronic post-traumatic headache. In a model of medication overuse headache, Ld-IL2 completely reversed the cutaneous hypersensitivity induced by repeated administration of sumatriptan. Collectively, this study identifies ld-IL2 as a promising prophylactic for multiple headache disorders with a mechanism distinct from the existing treatment options.

Abstract
The study aimed to compare composition of peripheral blood T-cell subsets and assess their surface expression of CD39 and CD73 ectonucleotidases in patients with severe and moderate aortic stenosis (AS) as well as to evaluate involvement of T-cell-mediated immune processes in valve calcification. The study was performed with 38 patients suffering from severe calcified aortic stenosis (SAS), 33 patients with MAS, and 30 apparently healthy volunteers (HVs). The relative distribution and percentage of T-cell subsets expressing CD39 and CD73 were evaluated by flow cytometry. T helper (Th) and cytotoxic T-cell subsets (Tcyt) were identified by using CD3, CD4, and CD8 antibodies. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) were characterized by the expression of CD3, CD4, and high IL-2R alpha chain (CD25high) levels. CD45R0 and CD62L were used to assess differentiation stage of Th, Tcyt, and Treg subsets. It was found that MAS and SAS patients differed in terms of relative distribution of Tcyt and absolute number of Treg. Moreover, the absolute number of Tcyt and terminally differentiated CD45RA-positive effector T-cells (TEMRA) subset was significantly higher in SAS vs. MAS patients and HVs. However, the absolute and relative number of naïve Th and the absolute number of Treg were significantly higher in MAS vs. SAS patients; the relative number of naïve Tregs was significantly (p < 0.01) decreased in SAS patients. It was shown that CD73 expression was significantly higher in SAS vs. MAS patients noted in all EM, CM, TEMRA, and naïve Th cell subsets. However, only the latter were significantly increased (p = 0.003) in patients compared with HVs. SAS vs. MAS patients were noted to have significantly higher percentage of CD73+ EM Tcyt (p = 0.006) and CD73+ CM Tcyt (p = 0.002). The expression of CD73 in patients significantly differed in all three Treg populations such as EM (p = 0.049), CM (p = 0.044), and naïve (p < 0.001). No significant differences in CD39 expression level was found in MAS and SAS patients compared with the HV group. Overall, the data obtained demonstrated that purinergic signaling was involved in the pathogenesis of aortic stenosis and calcification potentially acting via various cell types, wherein among enzymes, degrading extracellular ATP CD73 rather than CD39 played a prominent role.
