Research Abstract |
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) clinically causes intermittent hypoxia (IH) during sleep. The levels of an inflammation cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) mRNA significantly elevated by IH condition in cultured human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cells (A549), due to activation of the signaling pathway of nuclear factor-KB (NF-KB) which is a potent transcriptional activator of IL-6. However, the treatment of cells with IH had little effect on clock gene expressions. Serum concentrations of IL-6 in OSAS patients were significantly higher than in healthy subjects, but elevated levels of IL-6 in OSAS patients fell to the level of healthy subjects after CPAP therapy. The condition of IH can activate signal transduction to an inflammatory response, but not to circadian clock regulation. The increase of serum IL-6 may cause systemic inflammation in patients with OSAS.
