Effects of Sleep on the Production of Cytokines in Humans
Abstract
The restorative functions of sleep may affect immunologic functioning. The present study examined the effects of sleep on stimulated cytokine release in 13 healthy men. The subjects spent 2 experimental nights in the sleep laboratory. In one condition, lights were turned off at 11:00 PM to enable sleep for 3.5 hours. Thereafter, they stayed awake till 7:00 AM. In the other condition, conversely, subjects stayed awake between 11:00 PM and 3:00 AM. Then, lights were turned off for a 3.5-hour phase of sleep. Blood was sampled every 30 minutes between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM. Sleep was monitored by polysomnographic recordings. Release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) was determined after stimulation of mononuclear cells with lipopolysaccharide from Escherichia coli. The release of IL-2 was stimulated with phytohemagglutinin. Compared with wakefulness, after 3 hours of sleep, production of TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta was substantially diminished (p < .01). Production of IL-2 was enhanced during sleep (p < .05), with this effect being limited to the second nocturnal sleep phase after 3:00 AM. Sleep-dependent changes in stimulated cytokine release were independent of changes in plasma cortisol concentrations. These results indicate a specific reducing effect of sleep (vs. wakefulness) on cytokine production by monocytes (TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta). The rather slow development of the effects calls for further studies to establish the exact time course of the influence of sleep on cytokine production.

In the citing paper
“Collectively, there is ample evidence that IL-1 and TNF, in particular, and PGD2, play a critical role in the regulation of physiological, spontaneous NREM sleep in animals, and potentially in humans, while they may not be involved in physiological REM sleep regulation (250, 551).”

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.
