The immune-sleep crosstalk in inflammatory bowel disease

Abstract

Sleep disorders are progressively common and sometimes are associated with aberrant regulation of the adaptive and innate immune responses. Sleep interruption can increase the inflammatory burden by enhancing the pro-inflammatory cytokines particularly in patients with chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by immune dysregulation, dysbiosis of gut microbiome, and poor-quality life. Therefore, this review highlights the crosstalk between sleep and immune responses during the progression of IBD.

Keywords: Cytokines; Intestinal inflammation; Sleep disorders.
