TLDR
This review examines emerging evidence highlighting both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory actions of glucocorticoids on both the innate and adaptive immune systems, and proposes how the two seemingly disparate processes seamlessly work together to resolve cellular responses to inflammatory stimuli.Abstract:
Glucocorticoids are essential for maintaining homeostasis and regulate a wide variety of physiological processes. Therapeutically, synthetic glucocorticoids are widely prescribed for the treatment of inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and malignancies of lymphoid origin. In this review we examine emerging evidence highlighting both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory actions of glucocorticoids on both the innate and adaptive immune systems. We incorporate these findings into the more traditional anti-inflammatory role attributed to glucocorticoids, and propose how the two seemingly disparate processes seamlessly work together to resolve cellular responses to inflammatory stimuli. These ideas provide a framework by which glucocorticoids ready and reinforce the innate immune system, and repress the adaptive immune system, to help to resolve inflammation and restore homeostasis.read more

The Sleep-Immune Crosstalk in Health and Disease
TL;DR: The induction of a hormonal constellation that supports immune functions is one likely mechanism underlying the immune-supporting effects of sleep, and sleep appears to promote inflammatory homeostasis through effects on several inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines.
