Abstract
The growing prevalence of aged sleep-deprived nations is turning into a pandemic state. Acute sleep deprivation (SD) accompanies aging, changing the hippocampal cellular pattern, neurogenesis pathway expression, and aggravating cognitive deterioration. The present study investigated the ability of Near Infra Red (NIR) light laser to ameliorate cognitive impairment induced by SD in young and senile rats. Wistar rats ≤ 2 months (young) and ≥ 14 months (senile) were sleep-deprived for 72 h with or without transcranial administration of NIR laser of 830 nm. Our results showed that NIR photobiomodulation (PBM) attenuated cognitive deterioration made by SD in young, but not senile rats, while both sleep-deprived young and senile rats exhibited decreased anxiety (mania)-like behavior in response to PBM. NIR PBM had an inhibitory effect on AChE, enhanced the production of ACh, attenuated ROS, and regulated cell apoptosis factors such as Bax and Bcl-2. NIR increased mRNA expression of BDNF and GLP-1 in senile rats, thus facilitating neuronal survival and differentiation. The present findings also revealed that age exerts an additive factor to the cellular assaults produced by SD where hippocampal damages made in 2-month rats were less severe than those of the aged one. In conclusion, NIR PBM seems to promote cellular longevity of senile hippocampal cells by combating ROS, elevating neurotrophic factors, thus improving cognitive performance. The present findings provide NIR as a possible candidate for hippocampal neuronal insults accompanying aging and SD.

Interactions between neurotrophins, mood, and physical activity under the conditions of sleep deprivation. Transl Psychiatry 2024; 14:158.

Abstract
Sleep deprivation (DS) is the forced elimination of sleep. While brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been extensively studied in the context of in mood changes following DS, the role of other neurotrophins remains elusive. This study explores the impact of DS on BDNF, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT3), and neurotrophin-4 (NT4) at mRNA and protein level, considering their potential links to mood disturbances. The study involved 81 participants subjected to polysomnography (PSG) and DS. Blood samples, mood assessments, and actigraphy data were collected twice, after PSG and DS. NT mRNA expression and serum protein concentrations of BDNF, GDNF, NT3, and NT4 were measured. Participants were divided into Responders and Non-Responders based on mood improvement after DS. DS reduced BDNF mRNA expression in all participants, with no change in serum BDNF protein. GDNF protein decreased in Non-Responders, while Responders exhibited reduced GDNF mRNA. NT3 protein increased in both groups, while NT3 mRNA decreased in Respondents. NT4 protein rose universally post-DS, but NT4 mRNA remained unchanged. Physical activity (PA) negatively correlated with mRNA expression of BDNF, GDNF, and NT3 post-DS. The study's short DS duration and exclusion of immature NT forms limit comprehensive insights. GDNF, together with NT3, might play an important role in mood response to DS. PA during DS seems to impair the mRNA expression of NTs in leukocytes. Future studies on the subject of sleep deprivation might consider investigating the relationship between BDNF and NT4 in the context of their apparent redundancy.

Abstract
Insufficient sleep is associated with impaired hypothalamic activity and declined attentional performance. In this study, alterations in the hypothalamus of REM sleep-deprived (SD) young and aged rats, and the modulatory effect of near-infrared (NIR) laser were investigated. Forty-eight male Wistar rats (24 young at 2 months and 24 senile at 14 months) were divided into three groups: the control, the SD group subjected to 72 hr of sleep deprivation, and the transcranial-NIR laser-treated (TLT) group subjected to SD for 72 hr and irradiated with 830 nm laser. The hypothalamic levels of oxidative stress, inflammatory biomarkers, antioxidant enzymes, mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase (CCO), apoptotic markers (BAX, BCL-2), and neuronal survival-associated genes (BDNF, GLP-1) were evaluated. Furthermore, the hypothalamic tissue alterations were analyzed via histological examination. The results revealed that TLT treatment has enhanced the antioxidant status, prevented oxidative insults, suppressed neuroinflammation, regulated CCO activity, reduced apoptotic markers, and tuned the survival genes (BDNF & GLP-1) in hypothalamic tissue of SD young and aged rats. Microscopically, TLT treatment has ameliorated the SD-induced alterations and restored the normal histological features of hypothalamus tissue. Moreover, the obtained data showed that SD and NIR laser therapy are age-dependent. Altogether, our findings emphasize the age-dependent adverse effects of SD on the hypothalamus and suggest the use of low-laser NIR radiation as a potential non-invasive and therapeutic approach against SD-induced adverse effects in young and aged animals.

The Relationship between Sleep Parameters Measured by Polysomnography and Selected Neurotrophic Factors. J Clin Med 2024; 13:893. [PMID: 38337587 PMCID: PMC10856018 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13030893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The molecular underpinnings of insufficient sleep remain underexplored, with disruptions in the neurotrophic signaling pathway emerging as a potential explanation. Neurotrophins (NTs), including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT3), neurotrophin 4 (NT4), and glial-cell-line-derived growth factor (GDNF), play crucial roles in nerve cell growth and repair. However, their associations with sleep patterns are poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the chosen neurotrophins and objective sleep parameters. METHODS The study involved 81 participants subjected to polysomnography (PSG). Blood samples were collected after PSG. The mRNA expression and serum protein concentrations of BDNF, GDNF, NT3, and NT4 were measured using real-time quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods, respectively. RESULTS BDNF and NT3 proteins were negatively correlated with NREM events, while NT4 protein positively correlated with REM events. Electroencephalography power analysis revealed BDNF protein's negative correlation with delta waves during rapid eye movement and non-rapid eye movement sleep. CONCLUSION The study highlights associations between neurotrophins and sleep, emphasizing BDNF's role in regulating NREM and REM sleep. The EEG power analysis implicated BDNF in delta wave modulation, shedding light on potential neurotrophic mechanisms underlying sleep effects on cognitive and mood processes.

Intricate role of sleep deprivation in modulating depression: focusing on BDNF, VEGF, serotonin, cortisol, and TNF-α. Metab Brain Dis 2023; 38:195-219.

Abstract
In this review article, we aimed to discuss intricate roles of SD in modulating depression in preclinical and clinical studies. Decades of research have shown the inconsistent effects of SD on depression, focusing on SD duration. However, inconsistent role of SD seems to be more complicated, and SD duration cannot be the only one factor. Regarding this issue, we chose some important factors involved in the effects of SD on cognitive functions and mood including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), serotonin, cortisol, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). It was concluded that SD has a wide-range of inconsistent effects on BDNF, VEGF, serotonin, and cortisol levels. It was noted that BDNF diurnal rhythm is significantly involved in the modulatory role of SD in depression. Furthermore, the important role of VEGF in blood-brain barrier permeability which is involved in modulating depression was discussed. It was also noted that there is a negative correlation between cortisol and BDNF that modulates depression. Eventually, it was concluded that TNF-α regulates sleep/wake cycle and is involved in the vulnerability to cognitive and behavioral impairments following SD. TNF-α also increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier which is accompanied by depressive behavior. In sum, it was suggested that future studies should focus on these mechanisms/factors to better investigate the reasons behind intricate roles of SD in modulating depression.
