Abstract
INTRODUCTION Poor sleep quality has been associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) activity, although studies incorporating actigraphy suggest that the perception of sleep differs rather than objective difference in sleep quality. Short sleep duration has been associated with increased pro-inflammatory cytokines that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of IBD. METHODS An observational study incorporated home-based polysomnography that was conducted within twelve weeks of an objective assessment of IBD activity such as calprotectin, colonoscopy, or MRI. Participants completed a survey on subjective measures of sleep quality, clinical IBD activity, depression, and anxiety. Polysomnography results were normalized by standardized results for a healthy population matched by gender and age. RESULTS Twenty participants were included in the final analysis. Those with objective evidence of active IBD had shorter stage 2 sleep duration, leading to shorter NREM sleep and total sleep time. Sleep latency was also longer in those with active IBD, leading to worse sleep efficiency-despite no difference in time available for sleep between the two groups. These changes persisted after normalization of polysomnography results by health population age and gender matched norms. Depression scores correlated with sleep latency and stage 2 sleep duration and were associated with objectively active IBD. CONCLUSIONS Objectively confirmed active IBD was associated with shorter sleep duration. Observed sleep changes may, in part, relate to coexistent depression. Further research should consider the utility of changes in sleep duration and quality as a means of longitudinally assessing objective IBD activity.

[PMID: 38833836 DOI: 10.1016/j.smrv.2024.101964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
Sleep has strong inflammatory underpinnings and diet is one of the primary determinants of systemic inflammation. A systematic literature review was conducted to synthesize current research associating dietary inflammatory potential, as measured by the dietary inflammatory index (DII®) or the energy-adjusted DII (E-DII™) and sleep quality and duration. The National Library of Medicine (Medline), Web of Science, and PsycInfo databases were searched through March 2023. Studies must have used the DII/E-DII as the independent variable and sleep outcomes as dependent variables. Study characteristics, based on STROBE guidelines, were scored based on the presence of the recommendation. Out of the initial 14 studies identified, a total of 12 studies were included for data synthesis. In all 12 studies, more anti-inflammatory diets (i.e., low DII/E-DII scores) were associated with better sleep in at least one sleep domain (most often sleep efficiency and wake-after-sleep-onset). Among those studies with more rigorous diet and sleep measurements, such as dietary recalls and actigraphy, associations between DII/E-DII and sleep outcomes were stronger and more consistent compared to studies using primarily subjective assessments. More rigorous measurement of diet and sleep, especially those relating to sleep stage structure, should be considered in future studies with prospective designs.

Prevalence and bidirectional association of sleep quality and gut health among Chinese midwives: a large population, multi-center cross-sectional study. Front Public Health 2024; 12:1368178. [PMID: 38694975 PMCID: PMC11061365 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2024.1368178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Shift work can disrupt sleep quality and gut health. Nurses and midwives constitute approximately half of the global healthcare shift-working workforce. Our previous study revealed that most midwives were experiencing suboptimal health conditions, characterized by poor sleep quality and a high prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases. The gut-brain axis theory highlights the potential interplay between sleep quality and gut health. However, limited research focuses on this relationship among midwives. Methods A cross-sectional survey included 2041 midwives from 87 Chinese hospitals between March and October 2023. Participants completed standardized questionnaires assessing sleep quality, gut health, depression, anxiety, and work stress. Binary logistic regression analyzed factors associated with poor sleep, and multiple linear regression examined the influence of sleep quality on gut health. Results Over 60% of midwives reported poor sleep, with many experiencing gastrointestinal disorders. We observed a bidirectional relationship between sleep quality and gut health among midwives. After multivariable adjustments, midwives with higher gut health scores were more likely to experience poor sleep quality (odds ratio = 1.042, 95% confidence interval = 1.03-1.054). Conversely, midwives with higher sleep quality scores were also more likely to have poor gut health (β = 0.222, 95% confidence interval = 0.529-0.797). These associations remained robust across sensitivity analyses. Furthermore, depression, anxiety, and work stress significantly affected both sleep quality and gut health among midwives. Conclusion This study enhances our understanding of the intricate relationship between sleep quality and gut health among midwives. Poor gut health was associated with a higher risk of poor sleep, and vice versa. To improve the overall wellbeing of midwives, the findings emphasize the importance of addressing poor sleep quality and promoting gut health through maintaining a healthy diet, lifestyle, and good mental health. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings and clarify the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Objective To explore the correlation between disease activity and anxiety, depression, sleep quality, and quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods The disease activity of IBD patients was evaluated by 66 gastroenterologists from 42 hospitals in 22 provinces in China from September 2021 to May 2022. Anxiety, depression, sleep quality and quality of life of IBD patients were investigated and statistically analyzed by different scales, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (IBD-Q). Results A total of 2478 IBD patients were included, of which 1532 (61.8%) were in active stage and 946 (38.2%) were in remission. The proportions of active IBD with anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and poor quality of life were 29.5%, 29.7%, 71.1%, and 50.1%, respectively, while the proportions of remission IBD with anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and poor quality of life were 19.1%, 24.4%, 69.3%, and 17.4%, respectively. IBD patients who also had anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances and poor quality of life had 80 cases (8.46%) in remission and 114 cases (7.44%) in active stage, with 54 cases (9.18%) in mild activity, 51 cases (6.95%) in moderate activity and 9 cases (4.49%) in severe activity. IBD patients with different disease activity levels differed in GAD-7 scores, PHQ-9 scores, PSQI scores, and IBD-Q scores (all P<0.001). In IBD patients, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance, which interact with each other, can further aggravate their disease activity (all P<0.001). Conclusion Anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and quality of life are strongly correlated with disease activity in IBD patients, and IBD patients with psychological disturbances are most often in the active stage and have a poor quality of life.

Chen M, Peng WY, Tang TC, Zheng H. Differential Sleep Traits Have No Causal Effect on Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A Mendelian Randomization Study. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:763649. [PMID: 34916940 PMCID: PMC8669049 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.763649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Previous studies suggested an association of sleep disorders with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and indicated that using pharmacological treatments for the modulation of circadian rhythms might prevent IBD pathogenesis or aggravation, but whether the effect of sleep traits on IBD was causal is inconclusive and, therefore, prevents drug repurposing based on the previous studies. We aimed to examine the causal effect of different sleep traits on the pathogenesis of IBD. Methods: Genetic instruments for sleep traits were selected from the largest GWAS studies available in the UK Biobank (n = 449,734) and the 23andMe Research (n = 541,333). A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted to examine the association of the genetic instruments with IBD (12,882 cases and 21,770 controls), ulcerative colitis (6,968 cases, 20,464 controls), and Crohn's disease (5,956 cases and 14,927 controls). We applied the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method to estimate causal effects, and we used the weighted median and MR-Egger method for sensitivity analyses. Results: We found that sleep duration (OR, 1.00, 95% CI 1.00-1.01), short sleep duration (OR, 1.07, 95% CI 0.41-2.83), morningness (OR, 1.05, 95% CI 0.87-1.27), daytime napping (OR, 1.64, 95% CI 0.62-4.4), frequent insomnia (OR, 1.17, 95% CI 0.8-1.72), any insomnia (OR, 1.17, 95% CI 0.69-1.97), and snoring (OR, 0.31, 95% CI 0.06-1.54) had no causal effect on IBD, and these sleep traits had no causal effect on ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease either. Most of the sensitivity analyses showed consistent results with those of the IVW method. Conclusion: Our MR study did not support the causal effect of sleep traits on IBD. Pharmacological modulation of circadian rhythms for the prevention of IBD pathogenesis was unwarranted.

Abstract
Evidence of poor sleep quality in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, i.e., Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) has been reported but never systematically reviewed or meta-analysed. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of pairwise comparisons that included 1) IBD patients/controls, 2) Crohn's disease/ulcerative colitis, 3) active/inactive IBD on standardised measures of sleep quality. PubMed, Medline, PsycINFO, Scopus, and CINAHL were searched up to March 2021. Forty-two studies met the inclusion criteria. Results showed poorer subjective sleep quality in IBD patients than in controls, with moderate effect sizes (g = .49, [95% CI = .32 - .66], p < .001). No differences within IBD subtypes were found (g = -.07, [95% CI = -.17-.05], p = .208). Individuals with an active IBD reported poorer sleep quality than those in remission, with a large effect size (g = .66, [95% CI = .35 - .98], p < .001). Results on objectively recorded sleep were mixed, with no clear evidence of objective sleep impairments in individuals with IBD. Results support the view of subjective poor sleep quality as a relevant comorbidity in IBD. As a potential factor affecting immune and inflammatory responses as well as patients' quality of life, sleep quality should be taken into account in the treatment of IBD.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by modifying alternatively activated macrophages (AAM) and epithelial homeostasis. Chromogranin-A (CHGA), released by enterochromaffin cells, is elevated in UC and is implicated in inflammation progression. CHGA can be cleaved into several derived peptides, including pancreastatin (PST), which is involved in proinflammatory mechanisms. Previously, we showed that the deletion of Chga decreased the onset and severity of colitis correlated with an increase in AAM and epithelial cells’ functions. Here, we investigated PST activity in colonic biopsies of participants with active UC and investigated PST treatment in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis using Chga−/− mice, macrophages, and a human colonic epithelial cells line. We found that the colonic protein expression of PST correlated negatively with mRNA expression of AAM markers and tight junction (TJ) proteins and positively with mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-8, IL18, and collagen in human. In a preclinical setting, intra-rectal administration of PST aggravated DSS-induced colitis by decreasing AAM’s functions, enhancing colonic collagen deposition and disrupting epithelial homeostasis in Chga+/+ and Chga−/− mice. This effect was associated with a significant reduction in AAM markers, increased colonic IL-18 release, and decreased TJ proteins’ gene expression. In vitro, PST reduced Chga+/+ and Chga−/− AAM polarization and decreased anti-inflammatory mediators’ production. Conditioned medium harvested from PST-treated Chga+/+ and Chga−/− AAM reduced Caco-2 cell migration, viability, proliferation, and mRNA levels of TJ proteins and increased oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and proinflammatory cytokines release. In conclusion, PST is a CHGA proinflammatory peptide that enhances the severity of colitis and the inflammatory process via decreasing AAM functions and disrupting epithelial homeostasis.

Abstract
Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by altered chromogranin-A (CHGA), alternatively activated macrophages (M2) and intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). We previously demonstrated that CHGA is implicated in colitis progression by regulating the macrophages. Here, we investigated the interplay between CHGA, M2, tight junctions (TJ) and IECs in an inflammatory environment. Methods: Correlations between CHGA mRNA expression of and TJ proteins mRNA expressions of (Occludin [OCLN], zonula occludens-1 [ZO1], Claudin-1 [CLDN1]), epithelial associated cytokines (interleukin [IL]-8, IL-18), and collagen (COL1A2) were determined in human colonic mucosal biopsies isolated from active UC and healthy patients. Acute UC-like colitis (5% dextran sulphate sodium [DSS], five days) was induced in Chga-C57BL/6-deficient (Chga−/−) and wild type (Chga+/+) mice. Col1a2 TJ proteins, Il-18 mRNA expression and collagen deposition were determined in whole colonic sections. Naïve Chga−/− and Chga+/+ peritoneal macrophages were isolated and exposed six hours to IL-4/IL-13 (20 ng/mL) to promote M2 and generate M2-conditioned supernatant. Caco-2 epithelial cells were cultured in the presence of Chga−/− and Chga+/+ non- or M2-conditioned supernatant for 24 h then exposed to 5% DSS for 24 h, and their functional properties were assessed. Results: In humans, CHGA mRNA correlated positively with COL1A2, IL-8 and IL-18, and negatively with TJ proteins mRNA markers. In the experimental model, the deletion of Chga reduced IL-18 mRNA and its release, COL1A2 mRNA and colonic collagen deposition, and maintained colonic TJ proteins. Chga−/− M2-conditioned supernatant protected caco-2 cells from DSS and oxidative stress injuries by improving caco-2 cells functions (proliferation, viability, wound healing) and by decreasing the release of IL-8 and IL-18 and by maintaining the levels of TJ proteins, and when compared with Chga+/+ M2-conditioned supernatant. Conclusions: CHGA contributes to the development of intestinal inflammation through the regulation of M2 and epithelial cells. Targeting CHGA may lead to novel biomarkers and therapeutic strategies in UC.

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.
