Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of apnea and hypopnea during sleep. It is associated with various cardiovascular and metabolic complications, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. Many pathways can be responsible for T2DM development in OSA patients, e.g., those related to HIF-1 and SIRT1 expression. Moreover, epigenetic mechanisms, such as miRNA181a or miRNA199, are postulated to play a pivotal role in this link. It has been proven that OSA increases the occurrence of circadian clock disruption, which is also a risk factor for metabolic disease development. Circadian clock disruption impairs the metabolism of glucose, lipids, and the secretion of bile acids. Therefore, OSA-induced circadian clock disruption may be a potential, complex, underlying pathway involved in developing and exacerbating metabolic diseases among OSA patients. The current paper summarizes the available information pertaining to the relationship between OSA and circadian clock disruption in the context of potential mechanisms leading to metabolic disorders.

Gabryelska A, Turkiewicz S, Ditmer M, Karuga FF, Strzelecki D, Białasiewicz P, Sochal M. BDNF and proBDNF Serum Protein Levels in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients and Their Involvement in Insomnia and Depression Symptoms. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11237135. [PMID: 36498709 PMCID: PMC9738137 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11237135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder that, apart from somatic sequelae, increases the risk of developing psychiatric conditions. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling pathway is involved in the pathophysiology of depression and insomnia. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate differences in concentrations of BDNF and proBDNF in patients with OSA and healthy individuals, to evaluate diurnal changes of these proteins, and to assess the correlations with psychiatric symptoms. Methods: Sixty individuals following polysomnography (PSG) were divided into two groups based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): OSA patients (AHI ≥ 30; n = 30) and control group (AHI < 5; n = 30). Participants filled out questionnaires: Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Peripheral blood was collected before and after PSG. Protein concentrations were measured using ELISA. OSA group was divided into subgroups: AIS (−)/AIS (+) (AIS > 5), PSQI (−)/PSQI (+) (PSQI > 5), and BDI (−)/BDI (+) (BDI > 19). Results: No differences in BDNF and proBDNF protein levels were observed between OSA and the control groups. However, BDNF and proBDNF evening protein concentrations were higher in the AIS (+) and PSQI (+) groups (p < 0.001 for all). The BDI (+) group was characterized by lower morning levels of both proteins (p = 0.047 and p = 0.003, respectively). Conclusions: BDNF signaling pathway might be involved in the pathophysiology of depression and insomnia in patients with OSA. BDNF and proBDNF protein levels might be useful in defining OSA phenotypes.

Evaluation of HIF-1 Involvement in the BDNF and ProBDNF Signaling Pathways among Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232314876. [PMID: 36499215 PMCID: PMC9736577 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232314876] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a chronic condition characterized by intermittent hypoxia associated with multiple comorbidities, including psychiatric disorders, such as depression, insomnia, and cognitive impairment. The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and proBDNF singling pathways have been shown to be involved in this group of diseases. Furthermore, their expression might be affected by hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), which is an oxygen sensitive transcription factor due to its alpha subunit. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between HIF-1α, BDNF, and proBDNF protein levels among OSA patients. This study included 40 individuals who underwent polysomnography (PSG) and were divided into the OSA group (n = 20; AHI ≥ 30) and healthy control (n = 20; AHI < 5) based on the apnea−hypopnea index (AHI). All participants had their peripheral blood collected in the evening before and the morning after the PSG. BDNF, proBDNF, and HIF-1α protein concertation measurements were performed using ELISA. No differences were found in BDNF, proBDNF, and HIF-1α protein levels between OSA and the control group, both in the evening and in the morning. In the OSA group, i.e., the linear regression model, the morning BDNF protein level was predicted by age (ß = −0.389, p = 0.023) and the mean SpO2 of desaturations during sleep (ß = −0.577, p = 0.002). This model accounted for 63.3% of the variability in the morning BDNF protein level (F = 14.639, p < 0.001). The morning proBDNF protein level was predicted by age (ß = −0.395, p = 0.033) and HIF-1α morning protein level (ß = −3.192, p = 0.005). This model accounted for 52.4% of the variability in the morning BDNF protein level (F = 9.355, p = 0.002). The obtained results suggest that the HIF-1 transcription factor might be involved in the pathway activated by proBDNF, which may have protective properties from hypoxia in OSA patients.

The Role of Inflammation, Hypoxia, and Opioid Receptor Expression in Pain Modulation in Patients Suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23169080.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a relatively common disease in the general population. Besides its interaction with many comorbidities, it can also interact with potentially painful conditions and modulate its course. The association between OSA and pain modulation has recently been a topic of concern for many scientists. The mechanism underlying OSA-related pain connection has been linked with different pathophysiological changes in OSA and various pain mechanisms. Furthermore, it may cause both chronic and acute pain aggravation as well as potentially influencing the antinociceptive mechanism. Characteristic changes in OSA such as nocturnal hypoxemia, sleep fragmentation, and systemic inflammation are considered to have a curtailing impact on pain perception. Hypoxemia in OSA has been proven to have a significant impact on increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines influencing the hyperalgesic priming of nociceptors. Moreover, hypoxia markers by themselves are hypothesized to modulate intracellular signal transduction in neurons and have an impact on nociceptive sensitization. Pain management in patients with OSA may create problems arousing from alterations in neuropeptide systems and overexpression of opioid receptors in hypoxia conditions, leading to intensification of side effects, e.g., respiratory depression and increased opioid sensitivity for analgesic effects. In this paper, we summarize the current knowledge regarding pain and pain treatment in OSA with a focus on molecular mechanisms leading to nociceptive modulation.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have shown that individuals with sleep problems are at a greater risk of developing immune and chronic inflammatory diseases. As sleep disorders and low sleep quality in the general population are frequent ailments, it seems important to recognize them as serious public health problems. The exact relation between immunity and sleep remains elusive; however, it might be suspected that it is shaped by others stress and alterations of the circadian rhythm (commonly caused by for example shift work). As studies show, drugs used in the therapy of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as steroids or monoclonal antibodies, also influence sleep in more complex ways than those resulting from attenuation of the disease symptoms. Interestingly, the relation between sleep and immunity appears to be bidirectional; that is, sleep may influence the course of immune diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease. Thus, proper diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders are vital to the patient's immune status and, in effect, health. This review examines the epidemiology of sleep disorders and immune diseases, the associations between them, and their current treatment and novel perspectives in therapy.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate factors associated with sleep quality (overall and by domains) in adolescents. A cross-sectional study. This study was conducted with 1,296 first-year high school students from public schools in the Northern Region of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. Demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral data were obtained with a questionnaire. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Body mass index (BMI) was calculated based on the ratio of weight and height squared. Multilevel linear and logistic regressions evaluated factors associated with sleep quality. We observed 53% of adolescents reported poor sleep quality. Adolescents at higher risk of clinical depression were 3.45 times more likely to have poor sleep quality (95%CI: 2.04; 5.81), and each additional unit in the social anxiety score presented 1.03 (95%CI: 1.01; 1.05) higher odds of adolescents having poor sleep quality. Adolescents with depressive symptoms had higher sleep latency, greater sleep disturbance, and greater daytime sleep dysfunction. Social anxiety was associated with sleep latency, sleep disturbance, and daytime sleep dysfunction. Higher risk of clinical depression was associated with all domains related to sleep quality. Negative health perception was associated with sleep disturbance, and physical inactivity was associated with daytime sleep dysfunction. Social anxiety and especially higher risk of clinical depression were determinants of poor sleep quality. Changes in sleep latency, sleep disturbance and daytime sleep dysfunction seems to be relevant to poor sleep quality.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing, is characterized by repetitive episodes of paused breathing during sleep, which in turn induces transient nocturnal hypoxia and hypercapnia. The high prevalence of OSA and its associated health consequences place a heavy burden on the healthcare system. In particular, the consequent episodic oxygenic desaturation/reoxygenation series and arousals from sleep in patients with OSA have the potential to trigger oxidative stress, elevated systemic inflammatory responses, and autonomic dysfunction with sympathetic activation. Given these adverse side-effects, OSA is highly correlated to many eye diseases that are common in everyday ophthalmic practices. Some of these ocular consequences are reversible, but they may permanently threaten a patient’s vision if not treated appropriately. Here, this article seeks to review the ocular consequences and potential pathophysiologic associations in patients with OSA. Understanding these OSA-related eye diseases may help clinicians provide comprehensive care to their patients.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic condition that is characterized by recurrent pauses in breathing during sleep causing intermittent hypoxia. The main factor responsible for oxygen metabolism homeostasis is hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), comprised of 2 subunits: α (oxygen sensitive) and β. The aim of the study was to investigate the HIF-1α serum protein level and mRNA HIF-1α expression in patients with OSA and a healthy control group and determine their evening-morning variation and association with polysomnography parameters. METHODS Eighty-four individuals were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent polysomnography examination and based on the results were divided into 2 groups: OSA group (n = 60) and control group (n = 24). Peripheral blood was collected in the evening before and in the morning after the polysomnography. HIF-1α expression was evaluated on protein in blood serum and mRNA level in peripheral blood leukocytes. RESULTS HIF-1α serum protein concentration was higher in patients with OSA compared with control patients in both the evening (1,490.1 vs. 727.0 pg/mL; P < .001) and the morning (1,368.9 vs. 702.1 pg/mL; P < .001) samples. There was no difference between evening and morning HIF-1α serum protein level in either group. No differences were observed in HIF-1α mRNA expression between the OSA and control group. Additionally, evening and morning HIF-1α serum protein level correlated with number of desaturations during sleep (r = .384, P < .001 and r = .433, P < .001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Observed differences in HIF-1α serum protein level between the OSA and the control groups without difference between evening and morning measurements suggest chronic increase in this protein concentration by intermittent nocturnal hypoxia in OSA.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a heterogeneous chronic sleep associated disorder. A common apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)-focused approach to OSA severity evaluation is not sufficient enough to capture the extent of OSA related risks, it limits our understanding of disease pathogenesis and may contribute to a modest response to conventional treatment. In order to resolve the heterogeneity issue, OSA patients can be divided into more homogenous therapeutically and prognostically significant groups-phenotypes. An improved understanding of OSA phenotype relationship to treatment effectiveness is required. Thus, in this study several clinical OSA phenotypes are identified and compared by their treatment effectiveness. Methods and materials: Retrospective data analysis of 233 adult patients with OSA treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was performed. Statistical analysis of data relating to demographic and anthropometric characteristics, symptoms, arterial blood gas test results, polysomnografic and respiratory polygraphic tests and treatment, treatment results was performed. Results: 3 phenotypes have been identified: "Position dependent (supine) OSA" (Positional OSA), "Severe OSA in obese patients" (Severe OSA) and "OSA and periodic limb movements (PLM)" (OSA and PLM). The highest count of responders to treatment with CPAP was in the OSA and PLM phenotype, followed by the Positional OSA phenotype. Treatment with CPAP, despite the highest mean pressure administered was the least effective among Severe OSA phenotype. Conclusions: Different OSA phenotypes vary significantly and lead to differences in response to treatment. Thus, treatment effectiveness depends on OSA phenotypes and treatment techniques other than CPAP may be needed. This emphasizes the importance of a more individualized approach when treating OSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There is growing interest in the use of mandibular advancement devices (MADs) for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Many systematic reviews (SRs) have investigated their effectiveness, but the applicability of SR results is affected by their methodological quality. This study critically appraises the methodological quality of SRs on this topic using a more detailed and updated version of A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews (AMSTAR). MATERIALS AND METHODS The literature was searched for SRs on MAD effectiveness in adults (≥18 years of age) for OSA treatment as compared with other non-surgical or surgical interventions or no intervention. Any objective or subjective measures of treatment outcome were considered eligible. AMSTAR2 was used to assess methodological quality. RESULTS The literature search yielded 64 potential reports; 10 met the eligibility criteria. All SRs had more than one critical flaw in AMSTAR2, so their methodological quality was rated as critically low. The most common issues included non-registration of study protocol, absence of list of excluded studies, no acknowledgment of fundings of included studies, no impact of risk of bias on SR results or interpretation and discussion of results, and data extraction not in duplicate. LIMITATIONS If a SR was not clearly identified by title or abstract as a SR or meta-analysis, it may have been missed during the screening process. CONCLUSIONS The methodological quality of SRs was suboptimal and warrants further improvement in order to provide strong evidence of MAD effectiveness and increase applicability of SR results for clinical decision-making.

Abstract
The causes of disordered sleep, frequently reported by patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), are poorly understood. The study aimed to evaluate sleep quality in IBD patients and to identify factors affecting their sleep. IBD patients (n = 133) and healthy controls (HC; n = 57) were included in the study and completed sleep questionnaires (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Athens insomnia scale (AIS), and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS)), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and pain scales (Visual Analogue Scale and Laitinen Pain Scale). IBD patients attained higher scores in all sleep questionnaires compared to HC: PSQI, AIS, and ESS (all p < 0.001). They also had prolonged sleep latency (p < 0.001) with reduced sleep efficiency (p < 0.001). Patients in exacerbation of IBD had higher scores in PSQI (p = 0.008), ESS (p = 0.009), but not in AIS, compared to those in remission. Participants with comorbid chronic diseases had higher scores in PSQI and AIS, but not in ESS, compared to others. Multiple regression revealed that the sleep questionnaire results were significantly affected by mood level (BDI), but not by the aforementioned pain scales. Sleep impairment in IBD patients is a common problem that deserves attention in everyday clinical practice and mood level seems to be the main factor affecting the quality of sleep in IBD patients.

Abstract
Purpose of the Review Skin disease is associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) both epidemiologically and mechanistically. In this review we highlight conditions which have a well-established link to obstructive sleep apnea, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Recent findings We describe putative mechanistic links between OSA and skin disease involving inflammatory pathways, obesity, mechanical upper airways obstruction, and hypoxia. In the context of these mechanisms we describe specific skin conditions, and other conditions which are associated with both skin manifestations (including hair/nail findings) and OSA. The risks/ benefits of CPAP in the context of skin disease are also reviewed. Summary We conclude that further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind the associations between OSA and skin disease. Given the frequent co-occurrence of OSA and skin conditions, there would be great benefit for OSA clinical trials to consider improvement in skin disease as an outcome measure.

Abstract
The link between psoriasis and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has not been confirmed. We aimed to investigate the relationship between psoriasis and OSA. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control, cross-sectional, and cohort studies on the association between psoriasis and OSA. We searched MEDLINE and Embase for relevant studies on May 11, 2019. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the risk of bias of included studies. We performed random-effects model meta-analysis to calculate pooled odds ratio (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for case-control and cross-sectional studies as well as pooled incidence rate ratio (IRR) with 95% CIs for cohort studies in association between psoriasis and OSA. A total of 4 case-control or cross-sectional studies and 3 cohort studies with a total of 5,840,495 subjects were included. We identified a significantly increased odds for OSA in psoriasis patients (pooled OR 2.60; 95% CI 1.07-6.32), and significantly increased risk for psoriasis in OSA patients (pooled IRR 2.52; 95% CI 1.89-3.36). In conclusion, our study identified a bidirectional association between psoriasis and OSA. Sleep quality should be inquired in patients with psoriasis. Respirologist consultation or polysomnography may be indicated for those presenting with night snoring, recurrent awaking, and excessive daytime sleepiness.

Abstract
Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is an alarmin cytokine from the IL-1 family. IL-33 is localized in the nucleus and acts there as a gene regulator. Following injury, stress or cell death, it is released from the nucleus, and exerts its pro-inflammatory biological functions via the transmembrane form of the ST2 receptor, which is present mainly as attached to immune cells. In recent years, IL-33 became a focus of many studies due to its possible role in inflammatory disorders. Among respiratory disorders, the contribution of IL-33 to the development of asthma, in particular, has been most identified. Increased level of IL-33 in lung epithelial cells and blood serum has been observed in asthma patients. The IL-33/ST2 interaction activated the Th2 mediated immune response and further production of many pro-inflammatory cytokines. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IL-33 gene cause a predisposition to the development of asthma. Similarly, in chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD), both increased expression of IL-33 and the ST2 receptor has been observed. Interestingly, cigarette smoke, a key inducer of COPD, not only activates IL-33 production by epithelial and endothelial cells, but also induces the expression of IL-33 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Knowledge regarding its contribution in other respiratory disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, remains greatly limited. Recently it was shown that IL-33 is one of the inflammatory mediators by which levels in blood serum are increased in OSA patients, compared to healthy control patients. This mini review summarizes current knowledge on IL-33 involvement in chosen chronic respiratory disorders and proposes this interleukin as a possible link in the pathogenesis of these diseases.

Sleep disorders in patients with psoriasis: a cross-sectional study using non-polysomnographical methods. Sleep Breath 2019; 23:893-898. [PMID: 30859369 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-019-01820-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2018] [Revised: 02/23/2019] [Accepted: 03/01/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease which can cause sleep disturbances due to the disease itself or due to its complications. In this study, we aimed to analyze the array of sleep disturbances caused by psoriasis and to evaluate the interaction between the quality of sleep and the duration and severity of psoriasis. METHODS Study subjects included 60 patients with plaque psoriasis and 60 sex- and age-matched controls. The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) was used to evaluate severity of disease. Body mass index (BMI), medication usage, and duration of disease were recorded. All subjects completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (EES), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), insomnia severity index (ISI), Berlin-sleep apnea questionnaire, and questions based on criteria of the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group indicating the presence of restless legs syndrome (RLS). RESULTS There were statistically significant and clinically relevant differences between the patients and controls regarding day-time sleepiness (ESS 5.3 vs 4.1, p = 0.037), sleep quality (PSQI 14.4 vs 4.9, p < 0.001), insomnia (ISI 19.7 vs 14.4, p < 0.001), sleep apnea (high risk 30% vs 7%, p = 0.01), and RLS (high risk 32% vs 0%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with psoriasis experience poor sleep quality and are at markedly increased risk for insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome. These findings suggest the importance of evaluating patients with psoriasis for conditions that affect sleep. The study results further suggest that simple screening tools may be useful for this task.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent episodes of apneas or hypopneas during sleep leading to intermittent hypoxemia and arousals. The prevalence of the sleep disordered breathing is estimated that almost 50% of men and 24% of women suffer from moderate to severe form of the disorder. Snoring, collapse of upper airways and intermittent hypoxia are main causes of smoldering systemic inflammation in patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. The systematic inflammation is considered one of the key mechanisms leading to significant cardiovascular complications. Blood platelets, formerly not even recognized as cells, are currently gaining attention as crucial players in the immune continuum. Platelet surface is endowed with receptors characteristic for cells classically belonging to the immune system, which enables them to recognize pathogens, immune complexes, and interact in a homo- and heterotypic aggregates. Platelets participate in the process of transcellular production of bioactive lipids by delivering both specific enzymes and substrate molecules. Despite their lack of nucleus, platelets synthetize proteins in a stimuli-dependent manner. Atherosclerosis and consequent cardiovascular complications result from disruption in homeostasis of both of the platelet roles: blood coagulation and inflammatory processes modulation. Platelet parameters, routinely evaluated as a part of complete blood count test, were proposed as markers of cardiovascular comorbidity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Platelets were found to be excessively activated in this group of patients, especially in obese subjects. Persistent activation results in enhanced spontaneous aggregability and change in cytokine production. Platelet-lymphocyte ratio was suggested as an independent marker for cardiovascular disease in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and continuous positive air pressure therapy was found to have an impact on platelet parameters and phenotype. In this literature review we summarize the current knowledge on the subject of platelets involvement in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and consider the possible pathways in which they contribute to cardiovascular comorbidity.
