Simulated night shift work induces circadian misalignment of the human peripheral blood mononuclear cell transcriptome
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Night shift work is associated with adverse health effects, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie this association is instrumental in advancing the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of shift work-related health concerns. We characterized the effect on genome-wide gene expression levels of a 4-day protocol simulating night shifts in healthy human subjects under highly controlled laboratory conditions. We demonstrate that this night shift protocol leads to a dampening of gene expression rhythms and a desynchrony between rhythmic transcripts and the shifted sleep/wake cycle. Moreover, we uncovered key biological processes and regulatory molecules that are altered during this night shift protocol and that may contribute to the development of health problems on the long term.

In the citing paper
“A recent study could link night shift work with a loss in temporal coordination between the human circadian transcriptome and its environment, most notably by affecting the natural killer cell‐mediated immune response and Jun/AP1 and STAT pathways 98.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
