How Sleep Disorders May Lead to Protein Problems and Multiple Health Conditions

Updated

Abstract

Sleep disorders may disrupt the proteostasis network, which is essential for maintaining cellular functions.

  • A bidirectional relationship exists between sleep disorders and molecular mechanisms involved in protein homeostasis.
  • Dysfunction of the proteostasis network is associated with various sleep disorders, including insomnia and sleep-disordered breathing.
  • Imbalances in the proteostasis network due to sleep disruption may contribute to chronic diseases such as neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders.
  • Sleep disturbances could act as modifiers of the proteostasis network, influencing susceptibility to age-related diseases.
  • The review emphasizes the necessity for longitudinal studies to explore the relationships among sleep, proteostasis, and aging.
