Weng L, Luo Y, Luo X, Yao K, Zhang Q, Tan J, Yin Y. The common link between sleep apnea syndrome and osteoarthritis: a literature review. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1401309. [PMID: 39234045 PMCID: PMC11371730 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1401309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Patients with Osteoarthritis (OA) often also suffer from Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS), and many scholars have started to notice this link, although the relationship between the two is still unclear. In this review, we aim to summarize the current literature on these two diseases, integrate evidence of the OA and OSA connection, explore and discuss their potential common mechanisms, and thus identify effective treatment methods for patients with both OA and SAS. Some shared characteristics of the two conditions have been identified, notably aging and obesity as mutual risk factors. Both diseases are associated with various biological processes or molecular pathways, including mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive oxygen species production, the NF-kB pathway, HIF, IL-6, and IL-8. SAS serves as a risk factor for OA, and conversely, OA may influence the progression of SAS. The effects of OA on SAS are underreported in the literature and require more investigation. To effectively manage these patients, timely intervention for SAS is necessary while treating OA, with weight reduction being a primary requirement, alongside combined treatments such as Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and medications. Additionally, numerous studies in drug development are now aimed at inhibiting or clearing certain molecular pathways, including ROS, NF-KB, IL-6, and IL-8. Improving mitochondrial function might represent a viable new strategy, with further research into mitochondrial updates or transplants being essential.

Sleep as a prognostic factor in low back pain: a systematic review of prospective cohort studies and secondary analyses of randomized controlled trials. Sleep 2024; 47:zsae023.

Abstract
Sleep problems are common in individuals with low back pain (LBP) and sleep restriction seems to be associated with impaired pain processing. Our objective was to investigate whether sleep is associated with future LBP outcomes (i.e. pain intensity, disability, and recovery) in adults. We conducted a systematic review of prospective cohort studies and secondary analyses of randomized controlled trials (registration-PROSPERO CRD42022370781). In December 2022, we searched the MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases. Fourteen studies, totaling 19 170 participants were included. Thirteen studies were rated as having high risk of bias (QUIPS tool). We used vote-counting and meta-analysis approaches to synthesize the data. We found associations between baseline sleep with future pain intensity, recovery, and between changes in sleep with changes in pain intensity, changes in disability, and recovery. We further synthesized outcomes as "overall LBP improvement" outcomes. Baseline poor sleep was moderately associated with non-improvement in LBP in the long-very long term (OR 1.55, 95% CI: 1.39 to 1.73; three studies providing unadjusted effect sizes), and non-improvement in sleep was largely associated with non-improvement in LBP in the short-moderate term (OR 3.45, 95% CI: 2.54 to 4.69; four studies providing unadjusted effect sizes). We found no association between baseline sleep with future disability and overall LBP improvement in the short-moderate term. Therefore, sleep may be a prognostic factor for pain intensity and recovery from LBP. All findings were supported by low to very low-quality evidence. Better-conducted studies are needed to strengthen our certainty about the evidence.

Nat Sci Sleep 2024; 16:473-487. [PMID: 38737460 PMCID: PMC11088414 DOI: 10.2147/nss.s461010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Sleep apnea syndrome(SAS) and osteoarthritis (OA) are two prevalent diseases that often coexist, but the causal relationship between them remains unclear. In light of this, our team utilizes Mendelian Randomization and bioinformatics analysis methods to investigate the potential association between the two diseases. Methods In this study, we utilized GWAS data pertaining to SAS and OA to assess the causal relationship between the two diseases through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. We then employed transcriptomic data to perform differential gene identification, WGCNA, shared gene determination, functional enrichment analysis, and colocalization analysis, all designed to further elucidate the mechanisms underlying the association between the two diseases. In the end, we utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis again to delve deeper into the relationship between the two diseases and immune cells. Results Our research findings indicate that SAS is a risk factor for OA (p = 0.000004), knee OA (p = 0.0000001) and hip OA(p = 0.001). Furthermore, OA (p = 0.000195), knee OA (p = 0.001) are significant risk factors for SAS. However, there is no clear evidence that hip OA (p = 0.892) is a risk factor for SAS. Interestingly, the genes shared between OA and SAS are significantly enriched in leukocyte migration, leukocyte chemotaxis. Moreover, colocalization analysis suggests that the genes JUNB, COL8A1, FOSB, and IER2 may be key genes associated with both diseases. Furthermore, 57 immune cell phenotypes are associated with SAS, 95 with OA, and 6 shared between both diseases. Conclusion This research confirmed the bidirectional causal relationship between SAS and OA. Notably, the 4 genes (JUNB, COL8A1, FOSB, IER2) and 6 immune phenotypes are crucial for both diseases, these provide hopeful targets for future interventions against these two diseases.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) are two highly prevalent chronic diseases for which effective therapies are urgently needed. Recent epidemiologic studies, although scarce, suggest that the concomitant occurrence of OA and OSA is associated with more severe manifestations of both diseases. Moreover, OA and OSA share risk factors, such as aging and metabolic disturbances, and co-morbidities, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, sleep deprivation and depression. Whether this coincidental occurrence is fortuitous or involves cause-effect relationships is unknown. This review aims at collating and integrating present knowledge on both diseases by providing a brief overview of their epidemiology and pathophysiology, analyzing current evidences relating OA and OSA and discussing potential common mechanisms by which they can aggravate each other. Such mechanisms constitute potential therapeutic targets whose pharmacological modulation may provide more efficient ways of reducing the consequences of OA and OSA and, thus, lessen the huge individual and social burden that they impose.
