Shift work schedules alter immune cell regulation and accelerate cognitive impairment during aging by Karienn A. de Souza, Morgan Jackson, Justin Chen, Jocelin Reyes, Judy Muayad, Emma Tran, William Jackson, M. Karen Newell-Rogers, David J. Earnest

“…These alterations in light-dark entrainment were closely associated with dramatic impairment in the Barnes maze test for the entire group of shifted LD mice at middle age, well before cognitive decline was first observed in aged (18-22mo) animals maintained on fixed LD cycles. In conjunction with the effects of circadian dysregulation on cognition, shifted LD mice at middle age were distinguished by significant expansion of splenic B cells and B cell subtypes expressing the activation marker CD69 or inflammatory marker MHC Class II Invariant peptide (CLIP), differential increases in CLIP+, 41BB-Ligand+, and CD74 + B cells in the meningeal lymphatics, alterations in splenic T cell subtypes, and increased number and altered functional state of microglia in the dentate gyrus. …”
