Abstract
Introduction. Proinflammatory cytokines produced in elevated concentrations in the elderly significantly impair neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, long-term potentiality, alter neuronal morphology and function, and increase apoptosis. This leads to impaired episodic memory, executive function, and spatial learning, as well as neurodegeneration. Half of the elderly suffer from sleep disorders. Insomnia causes activation of microglia and increases 24-hour expression of proinflammatory cytokines, which enhances pre-existing inflammation, which in turn exacerbates insomnia.
Objective: to systematize scientific data on the role of sleep disorders in the development of neuroinflammation in the elderly, other causes and consequences of this condition, as well as on methods of insomnia correction in the elderly.
Material and methods: an analysis of the main foreign and domestic sources from PubMed/Medline, elibrary.ru databases was performed.
Conclusion. Aging is associated with the inevitable accumulation of cellular damage and depletion of endogenous mechanisms to eliminate DAMPs. Their excessive amount excessively activates NLRP3 inflammasome expressing proinflammatory cytokines. Chronic sleep deprivation in aging occurs because of disturbances in the interaction between sleep homeostatic mechanisms and circadian clock parameters, resulting in increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Increased levels of neuroinflammation impair the survival and proliferation of new neurons and their proper integration into pre-existing hippocampal neural networks encoding spatial information. Increased apoptosis, impaired gliogenesis, dendritic atrophy, and loss of synapses also contribute to the decreased size of the hippocampus in sleep disorders.
The use of behavioral strategies to improve sleep quality in the elderly (sleep hygiene, moderate exercise, and social activity) has been discussed to correct the negative effects of chronic neuroinflammation.
