Title Sleep loss reprograms the landscape of human immune cells toward inflammatory, aging and autoimmune phenotypes
Relevance Medical
Data types Transcriptome or Gene expression
Organisms Homo sapiens
Description As a naturally recurring state, sleep is key and indispensable to life. Although poor or insufficient sleep is an increasingly important public health issue, we know little about the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which sleep loss leads to immune dysfunction and link sleep to disease. Here, we combined scRNA-seq and mass cytometry to present a comprehensive and integrated single-cell landscape of human circulating immune cell in peripheral blood collected from pre- and post-24h sleep loss-subjects. We report that human subjected to 24h sleep loss had increased frequency of T cell, plasma B cell in blood, along with increased expression of autoimmunity-related markers and enriched pathways, indicative of autoreactive predisposition. In addition, the alterations of transcriptomics covering cytokines, chemokines, transcription factor and signal pathways, demonstrates sleep loss-induced accelerated systemic low-grade inflammation and cellular senescence. In independent validation cohorts, we confirmed that blood immune cells were activated and displayed evidence of enhanced cytokine-production profile in blood from participants after sleep loss.
