Specifically, aspirin reduced interleukin-6 expression and COX-1\/COX-2 double positive cells in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated monocytes, as well as C-reactive protein serum levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe novelty of this study is that it investigated whether we can pharmacologically reduce the inflammatory consequences of sleep restriction,\u201d said lead author Larissa Engert, who has a doctorate in behavioral physiology and is a postdoctoral fellow in the department of neurology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the division of sleep medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston. \u201cWe used a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug because it has been shown to affect specific inflammatory pathways, which were previously shown to be dysregulated by experimental sleep restriction or sleep disturbances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The researchers collected data from 46 healthy adults in a randomized placebo-controlled crossover trial with three protocols \u2013 sleep restriction\/aspirin, sleep restriction\/placebo, and control sleep\/placebo \u2013 each consisting of a 14-day at-home phase followed by an 11-day in-hospital stay. In the sleep restriction\/aspirin condition, participants took low-dose aspirin during the at-home phase and in-hospital stay. Each in-hospital stay started with two nights of an eight-hour sleep opportunity. Then, under the sleep restriction conditions, participants were exposed to five nights of a four-hour sleep opportunity, followed by three nights of recovery sleep. The control sleep condition provided an eight-hour sleep opportunity throughout the in-hospital stay. Sleep and immunologic measures were assessed at baseline and various points throughout the study.<\/p>\n<p>The data also reveal that the aspirin-induced reduction of inflammatory pathway activity in sleep-restricted participants was paralleled by decreased wake after sleep onset and increased sleep efficiency during recovery sleep, Engert noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese findings show that it is possible to blunt inflammatory pathways activated by sleep restriction through preemptive administration of low-dose aspirin. This may foster the development of new therapeutics that specifically target those pathways, and do not exhibit the undesirable side effects associated with aspirin, such as bleeding and stroke. Such therapeutics could complement behavioral sleep improvement therapies to better prevent or control inflammation and its consequences in those experiencing periods of sleep deficiency,\u201d Engert said.<\/p>\n<p>This study was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, German Research Foundation, and Sleep Research Society Foundation.
