The features of sleep homeostasis in pregnant rats

To investigate the effects of short-term sleep deprivation on the sleep pattern during pregnancy, cortical and hippocampal EEG and locomotor activity were recorded within 24-hours in a "disk-over-water" paradigm in 18 Wistar rats. Rats were adapted to experimental situation and were able to move across the rotating disk without falling in water. Then a polysomnogram was recorded for 3 sequential days in the control group 1 (n = 12) without disk rotation. On the next day non-pregnant rats (experimental group 1, n = 6) were subjected to the sleep deprivation procedure with a pre-set program of disk rotation from 11:00 to 14:00 during 3 sequential days. Other 6 rats (experimental group 2) were subjected to sleep deprivation on the 5-7th day of pregnancy. EEG and locomotor activity were also constantly recorded during the sleep deprivation procedure. In control group 2 (n = 6, without sleep deprivation), a polysomnogram was recorded on the 5-7th day of pregnancy. As compared to non-pregnant rats, sleep intensity of pregnant rats increased during the first hours after the deprivation, and a considerable rebound of REM sleep took place. Sleep pattern during the off-light 12 hours remained unchanged. The results suggest that homeostatic compensation of sleep deprivation effects in rats on the first week of pregnancy is more efficient than in control non-pregnant animals.     

Paradoxical sleep deprivation, stress and emotionality in the rat

88 adult male rats were divided into 9 groups. Group I and II served as controls. The rats of group III were repeatedly aroused during 4 days at the very onset of each paradoxical sleep period by direct MRF stimulation. This deprivation reduced the daily amount of paradoxical sleep by 70%, while the slow wave sleep was reduced by 10% only. In group IV, the animals were given food and water for one hour a day only. Groups V and VI were subjected to immobilization and cold stress, respectively. Groups VII, VIII and IX were deprived of paradoxical sleep on platforms of 15, 11 and 6.5 cm in diameter, respectively. Stress was estimated by the classical Selye's triad: weight of adrenals and thymus and gastric ulceration. Emotionality was measured in the open field and also by self-stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus. Neither emotional behaviour disturbances nor stress features were found after paradoxical sleep deprivation in the group III. Moreover, this deprivation induced a slight, though significant, reduction in adrenals weight. Also, no changes in emotional behaviour were noted in the stress-exposed group V and VI. Only the interplay between REM-sleep deprivation and stress on the platforms in groups VII, VIII and especially IX led to a considerable shift in emotionality.     

Rapid eye movement (rem) sleep deprivation: effect on acid mucopolysaccharides in rat brain.

The effect of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep deprivation on the total content and proportion of different mucopolysaccharides (AMPS) containing uronic acid in rat brain was studied. REM sleep deprivation was induced by the water tank methods. Five experimental groups of animals were used: control, stressed, REM sleep deprived, post-stress sleeping and post-deprivation sleeping rats. No changes of AMPS were observed in any of the experimental groups when the whole brain was analysed. A significant increase of AMPS was found in the cerebral hemispheres of stressed and REM deprived rats. A significant decrease of AMPS was observed in the cerebellum and brain stem. A further increase of AMPS was found in the cerebral hemispheres after the rebound of REM sleep following its deprivation, and after the recovery sleep following the stress. A significant increase of AMPS was found in the brain stem of rats allowed to recuperate after REM deprivation or stress as compared with the stressed and REM deprived animals. Recovery sleep induced a significant increase of AMPS in the cerebellum in previously stressed rats, while previously REM deprived rats exhibited a further decrease of AMPS from control values. The possible functional meaning of these results is discussed in relation to the role of REM sleep in protein synthesis and learning and memory processes. Intriguing, well-controlled positive findings and the fact that no experimental design is known where stress is minimal while REM deprivation is 100 per cent, justify and encourage continued efforts in studying the biochemical state of the brain during sleep and/or its alterations.     

THE EFFECT OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION UPON THE IN VIVO AND IN VITRO INCORPORATION OF TRITIATED AMINO ACIDS INTO BRAIN PROTEINS IN THE RAT AT THREE DIFFERENT AGE LEVELS

Abstract— The effect of sleep deprivation on the in vivo and in vitro tritiated amino acid incorporation into brain proteins was studied in the rat at three age levels. Sleep deprivation was induced either by water tank or handling methods. Three experimental groups of animals were used: control, sleep deprived and post deprivation sleeping rats.
A significant decrease of protein synthesis was found in the cerebellum, telencephalon and in crude subcellular fractions of brainstem of adult rats selectively deprived of paradoxical sleep. However, no alteration of protein synthesis was observed either in vivo or in vitro , in the same brain regions or in the liver after the rebound of paradoxical sleep following deprivation.
In four crude subcellular protein fractions a specific increase of the in vitro labelled amino acid incorporation was observed in the brain stem of 24-day-old rats allowed to recuperate after sleep deprivation as compared with the deprived rats. No significant changes were seen in the telencephalon.
No alteration of incorporation was found in 7-day-old rats deprived of sleep.
The possible functional significance of these results is discussed in relation to stress and to variations in the size of the precursor pool for protein synthesis.     

Effects of Chronic Sleep Deprivation on the Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Pathway in the Temporomandibular Joint of Rats

Objectives

To examine the possible involvement and regulatory mechanisms of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of rats subjected to chronic sleep deprivation (CSD).

Methods

Rats were subjected to CSD using the modified multiple platform method (MMPM). The serum levels of corticosterone (CORT) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) were tested and histomorphology and ultrastructure of the TMJ were observed. The ERK and phospho-ERK (p-ERK) expression levels were detected by Western blot analysis, and the MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13 expression levels were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting.

Results

The elevated serum CORT and ACTH levels confirmed that the rats were under CSD stress. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed pathological alterations in the TMJ following CSD; furthermore, the p-ERK was activated and the mRNA and protein expression levels of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13 were upregulated after CSD. In the rats administered with the selective ERK inhibitor U0126, decreased tissue destruction was observed. Phospho-ERK activation was visibly blocked and the MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13 mRNA and protein levels were lower than the corresponding levels in the CSD without U0126 group.

Conclusion

These findings indicate that CSD activates the ERK pathway and upregulates the MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13 mRNA and protein levels in the TMJ of rats. Thus, CSD induces ERK pathway activation and causes pathological alterations in the TMJ. ERK may be associated with TMJ destruction by promoting the expression of MMPs.     

Eliminating the adrenal stress response does not affect sleep deprivation-induced acquisition deficits in the water maze

Sleep deprivation impairs spatial learning in the rat. Sleep deprivation, however, also causes stress and stress itself can interfere with spatial learning. To address this confound, sleep deprivation effects on Morris water maze training were studied in intact rats and in rats in which the adrenal stress response had been eliminated by adrenalectomy. Stable, physiological levels of corticosterone were maintained in adrenalectomized rats with an implanted pellet. Training occurred 6-7 days after surgery. Seventy-two hours sleep deprivation by the platform-over-water method just prior to training slowed, but did not block, learning. In particular, the robust savings between trials 1 and 2 of the first set found in home cage rats was not present in sleep-deprived rats. Adrenalectomy/corticosterone replacement surgery did not modify the effect of sleep deprivation on acquisition rate, demonstrating that the deficits in spatial task acquisition due to pre-training sleep deprivation are not secondary to the adrenal stress response.
