A very wide range of illnesses are included in neurological disorders, including those that appear early in development, proceed slowly, or become apparent as people age. The activation of shared pathways, such as the Integrated Stress Response (ISR), and the emergence of shared phenotypes (sleep deficits), despite the fact that the underlying causes of these disorders are distinct, may provide information about some of the mechanistic underpinnings of neurologic dysfunction. The connection between sleep and ongoing stress in the brain, despite being unquestionably complex, has vast implications for understanding neurological illnesses from development to degeneration. Through the disruption of a crucial cellular homeostasis route, the convergent nature of the ISR may serve as a link between genetically different neurological illnesses.

The brain is subject to unique stresses. Post-mitotic neurons are constrained in their ability to undergo cell death and replenish their population. The central neuronal network is an extremely metabolically demanding system, requiring approximately 20% of total basal oxygen consumption in adult humans, and as much as 50% in children [1]. This demand is dependent on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, which supplies much of the energy and maintains calcium and redox homeostasis to support key processes including neurogenesis, cytoskeleton assembly, signal transmission, and plasticity. Thus, the brain has a highly developed mitochondrial network, which may function to support the intricate synaptic networks and signal transmission necessary to sustain brain function. This high metabolic load also produces high levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS) as a by-product of ATP synthesis. While the brain produces significant levels of antioxidants, stress and genetics can perturb the balance of oxidation and reduction, which along with other susceptibility features in the brain, increases the risk of persistent oxidative damage. Together, these factors contribute to a brain environment that is rife with free radicals, which can lead to the accumulation of misfolded proteins and persistent DNA damage [2].
In post-mitotic cells such as neurons, constant repair is required since cell replacement is not an option for maintaining cellular function in the brain. Sleep likely plays a critical role during development and aging in reducing the metabolic demand of the brain and repair of wake-induced cellular damage. Sleep alters the translational profile of the brain to facilitate synaptic normalization and homeostasis [3]. Furthermore, sleep increases the clearing of metabolites accumulated during wake including misfolded proteins and proteolytic by-products such as Amyloid Beta (Aβ) [4]. Wakemediated free radicals also induce DNA lesions, which comprise a major class of DNA damage in neurons, leading to base pair modification and Double-Stranded Dna Breakage (DSB). Sleep plays a direct role in repairing this DNA damage. The repair of enriched wake DSBs and gamma-irradiation induced DSBs is delayed or inhibited by sleep deprivation, with repair resuming upon the restoration of sleep. In a study of overnight on-call doctors, expression of several key DNA repair genes was decreased after acute sleep deprivation. Those genes include 8- oxoguanine Glycosylase (OGG1), X-ray Repair Cross Complementing 1 (XRCC1), and Excision Repair Cross-complementing Group 1 (ERCC1) in the Base Excision Repair (BER) pathway, the primary mechanism for repairing oxidative base pair modification in neurons. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that DNA breaks and oxidized purines were increased, and blood plasma antioxidant capacity was reduced, reflecting the role of sleep in DNA damage and repair [5].
Sleep deficiency and persistent oxidative stress leads to the accumulation of damage to proteins and DNA, which can further induce cellular stress. Cells respond to stress through a versatile mechanism called the Integrated Stress Response (ISR). The ISR is a signalling network found in all eukaryotic cells and is critical for cellular adaptation and homeostasis in response to external and internal stressors. Through the ISR, cells activate response programs to alleviate stress induced by misfolded proteins, DNA damage and metabolic pressure [6]. This includes the preferential activation of gene networks that repair and promote cell survival in the brain, as neurons must favor pro-survival solutions to stress. Wake is energy intensive and stressful. Sleep provides a respite from wake and a time to activate homeostatic and repair mechanisms. In fact, brain oxidation and the accumulation of DNA damage during wake play a role in triggering the induction of sleep to promote DNA repair. Whether the ISR is functionally involved in the restorative function of sleep remains to be fully studied, however PERK signalling, a core feature of ISR activation, promotes sleep. Parp1, a key factor in the initiation of DNA repair, also promotes sleep and the repair of DNA damage by inducing repair protein activity and chromosome mobility [7].
Metabolic stress and biomolecule damage is increased under conditions of sleep fragmentation and inefficient and insufficient sleep is common underlying features of many neurological disorders [8]. Neurological disorders are highly comorbid with sleep abnormalities, suggesting that functions at the intersection of the ISR and sleep could contribute to the synaptic and behavioral deficits observed in these disorders. Despite the widely shared dysregulation of the ISR and sleep among neurological disorders, there is still little clarity on the mechanistic relationship between cellular stress and sleep dysregulation in neurological diseases [9]. Evidence of persistent stress and stress-related damage to biomolecules along with the manifestation of sleep phenotypes is observed in neurological conditions arising by both genetic mutation and injury to the nervous system, underscoring the central nature of this relationship. The goal of this review is to discuss our current understanding of the ISR and sleep, focusing on three neurological diseases (Alzheimer's disease, autism spectrum disorder, and Fragile X syndrome) and propose future avenues of research to examine how these processes interact to contribute to the progression of neurological dysfunction [10].
The connection between rest and enactment of the ISR includes an interconnected snare of bidirectional impacts, which can heighten through input circles to drive neurological debilitation.
The ISR is an intricate flagging organization that coordinates inherent and outward upgrades to direct the typical cell stress of a utilitarian life form. Hence, disturbances in a wide assortment of pathways, which contribute to such a large number of various problems, meet upon this focal pathway. In this survey, we have zeroed in on ISR enactment in the cerebrum, which is especially powerless against oxidative pressure. Persevering enactment of the ISR in the cerebrum has been exhibited in neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental issues of different etiologies. We present rest lack as one more divided highlight between these issues, which can initiate the ISR through the collection of unrepaired harm to biomolecules like DNA and proteins.
Lack of sleep actuates ER stress through the unfurled protein reaction in the cortex. Because of high metabolic interest during wake, stretched-out wake probably prompts the exhaustion of ATP, hindering protein collapsing and driving the amassing of misfolded proteins. Notwithstanding harm by ROS in the exceptionally oxidative climate of the cerebrum during lack of sleep, the collection of variant proteins brings about additional protein oxidation, advancing a positive criticism circle of pressure and harm, which might be exacerbated by rest shortfalls. The association between rest and the maintenance of DNA harm has just been shown lately and there is still a lot that still needs to be perceived about how rest advances the support of a solid genome. Current proof backings a job for snooze interceding the levels and movement of key fix compounds and directing chromosome elements in the maintenance of DNA harm. Lacks in rest-intervened fix or freedom of harmed biomolecules might prompt raised degrees of cell stress, perseveringly actuating the ISR. While the impact of lack of sleep on oxidative pressure in the cerebrum isn't uniform, dysregulation of the ISR and the collection of biomolecular harm might reveal insight into the components hidden in the improvement of mental weakness seen in numerous neurological issues.
Albeit neurological problems are heterogeneous in hereditary etiology, natural collaborations, and phenotypic show, rest disturbance is an unavoidable component fundamental to messes across the range. Rest irregularities were once viewed as a secondary effect as opposed to a focal aggregate in these patients; but investigations of problems with known hereditary etiologies, including FXS, have offered understanding into the sub-atomic premise of rest physiology and homeostasis in keeping a sound and adjusted synaptic organization. Debilitated rest appears as different harmful burdens and brokenness at the sub-atomic, cell, and synaptic levels.
The pharmacological balance of the ISR has turned into an area of extraordinary interest in the treatment of various neurological problems given its focal job in cell homeostasis. Valuable impacts of the two inhibitors and enhancers focusing on various levels of the ISR pathway have been noticed, particularly in neurodegenerative issues including AD. Be that as it may, unforeseen and unwanted aftereffects are of concern while focusing on the ISR in heterogeneous cell populations. Also, adjustment of the ISR should be painstakingly managed, as cells should keep up with the capacity to answer productively to different wellsprings of typical pressure improvements.
Given the connection between rest lack and cell stress, a combinatorial methodology utilizing both pharmacological and rest mediation treatments present a possibly more moderate and versatile component for regulating the ISR in a wide assortment of neurological problems, while likewise giving the many advantages of solid rest. While we have zeroed in on the cerebrum in this survey, rest lack, biomolecule harm, and states of high cell stress present dangers to the soundness of all frameworks in the body, and acquiring more profound information on these cycles and their relationship will be important to how we might interpret human wellbeing. NF-B controls the expression of the Nrf2-mediated antioxidant response element. The hallmark of COVID-19 is NF-B and Nrf2 participation in cytokine storm and oxidative stress. Immunological impairment is essential for the infection to spread into the brain region. Complications from this neuro-invasion include GBS, immunological conditions like SIRS, demyelinating lesions, and others. It is a step toward treating the infection to weigh these side effects as important as any.
