Abstract

Disruptions of circadian rhythms and sleep cycles are common among neurodegenerative diseases and can occur at multiple levels. Accumulating evidence reveals a bidirectional relationship between disruptions of circadian rhythms and sleep cycles and neurodegenerative diseases. Circadian disruption and sleep disorders aggravate neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative diseases can in turn disrupt circadian rhythms and sleep. Importantly, circadian disruption and various sleep disorders can increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, harnessing the circadian biology findings from preclinical and translational research in neurodegenerative diseases is of importance for reducing risk of neurodegeneration and improving symptoms and quality of life of individuals with neurodegenerative disorders via approaches that normalize circadian in the context of precision medicine. In this review, we discuss the implications of circadian disruption and sleep disorders in neurodegenerative diseases by summarizing evidence from both human and animal studies, focusing on the bidirectional links of sleep and circadian rhythms with prevalent forms of neurodegeneration. These findings provide valuable insights into the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and suggest a promising role of circadian-based interventions.

Figures

Fig. 1 Key neuroanatomical pathways of the circadian system. (1) SCN indirectly regulates melatonin release from the pineal gland by projecting light signals to PVN. (2) DMH receives light signals from SCN and then projects them to LC and VLPO, which in turn regulates sleep/awake activity. (3) SCN regulates thermoregulation and aggressive tendency by DMH through SPZ or not through SPZ. DMH dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus; SPZ subparaventricular zone;

Fig. 2 Schema of the circadian clock system—the transcription-translation feedback loops. The circadian clock consists of a network of TTFL that generates endogenous circadian rhythm. TTFL includes two loops: (1) The first loop of TTFL begins with BMAL1:CLOCK complex translocating into the nucleus, activating transcription of target genes containing E-box cis-regulatory enhancer sequences in their promoter regions, such as PER and CRY. The CRY and PER are then transferred to the nucleus and interact with CLOCK:BMAL1 complex to inhibit their own transcription. The decrease of PER and CRY protein levels reduces the suppression of BMAL1:CLOCK activity, which allows for the establishment of a new oscillatory cycle. (2) In the second loop, the REV-ERBα/β repressor and the RORα/β activator proteins co-maintain the periodic expression of BMAL1

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.
