The amount of sleep needed over one's lifespan is age dependent and not sleeping enough or sleeping in excess is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Yet, the convergent molecular mechanisms that link longevity and sleep are largely unknown. We performed a gene enrichment study that (1) identified genes associated with both longevity and sleep traits and (2) determined molecular pathways enriched among these shared genes. We manually curated two sets of genes, one associated with longevity and aging and the other with sleep traits ( e.g., insomnia, narcolepsy, sleep duration, chronotype, among others), with both gene lists heavily driven by hits from recent large-scale Genome-Wide Association Studies. There were 47 overlapping genes between the gene list associated with sleep traits (1064 genes total) and the genes associated with longevity (367 genes total), indicating significantly more overlap than expected by chance. An overrepresentation analysis identified enriched pathways that suggest endocrine and epigenetic regulation as potential shared mechanisms between sleep traits and longevity. Concordantly, functional network analysis retrieved two clusters, being one associated with proteins of nuclear functions and the other, with extracellular proteins. This overlapping gene set, and the highlighted biological pathways may serve as preliminary findings for new functional investigations of sleep and longevity shared genetic mechanisms. |
