Immune disruptions and night shift work in hospital healthcare professionals: The intricate effects of social jet-lag and sleep debt

Abstract: ObjectivesWe aimed to examine the effects of circadian and sleep rhythm disruptions on immune biomarkers among hospital healthcare professionals working night shifts and rotating day shifts.MethodsHospital nurses working either as permanent night shifters (n=95) or as day shifters rotating between morning and afternoon shifts (n=96) kept a daily diary on their sleep and work schedules over a full working week. Blood samples were collected at the beginning and end of the last shift during the week, and particip… Show more

“…For instance, in breast cancer patients, aberrant circadian cortisol rhythm was found to be associated with both sleep disruption and suppressed activity of NK cells, ultimately concurring to poorer overall survival [136,156]. Modern wearable biosensors allow for unintrusive assessment of circadian and sleep cycles, whose alterations have also been associated with immune disruption in night workers [157,158]. Thus, digital solutions are allegedly going to be paramount in optimization of ICI ToD administration.…”

“…The inflammatory factor could be assessed by biological analyses of e.g. cortisol in the saliva (8, 51). Because we have not gathered such measurements, we can only argue that both minor cognitive dysfunction and inflammation effects are extremely likely for our participants as a group.…”

“…Sleep deprivation is known to trigger an immune response leading to inflammation. A cortisol increment can be observed after a single night of sleep deprivation (8, 53, 54), so is plausible in our protocol that included two nights of mild sleep deprivation. In terms of mechanisms, sleep restriction and deprivation disturb the normal secretion of hormones like cortisol or testosterone, and is associated with increased rates of interleukin-6 and CRP as assessed on salivary samples in normal subjects.…”

“…Evidence suggests that circadian disruption is involved in MAFLD ( Mukherji et al, 2020 ; Saran et al, 2020 ). The two most common causes of circadian disruption in today’s 7/24 society are jet lag and shift work, and jet lag is considered analogous to shift work ( Walker et al, 2020 ; Faraut et al, 2022 ), but few controlled studies have addressed the effects of chronic jet lag (CJ) on MAFLD, and its mechanisms remain incompletely understood.…”
