Project description:<p>Sleep is essential for life. A good night's sleep is pleasurable and sleep deprivation is stressful. Prolonged sleep loss impairs temperature control, metabolism, immunity, and ultimately leads to death. Extensive observational and epidemiological evidence indicates that optimal sleep duration of 8 hours is associated with the maintenance of good health. In our society, however, most people only get 6.5 - 7 hours. Suboptimal sleep duration has a strong association with mortality and morbidity. Lack of sleep has been linked to cardiovascular diseases, obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and other health/cognition conditions. It is clear that the biological need for sleep varies dramatically among humans. Sleep and circadian disorders can include Familial Advanced Sleep Phase (FASP), Delayed Sleep Phase (DSP), Advanced Sleep Phase (ASP), Natural Short Sleepers (NSS) or Long Sleeping. In example, Natural Short Sleepers (NSS) have a lifelong tendency to sleep only 4 - 6 hours per night and to awaken refreshed and energetic. Natural Long Sleepers biologically require 9 - 10 hours/night to feel well rested.</p> <p>The 'Sleep and Circadian Disorders Study' (SACDS) at the University of California San Francisco, set out to investigate the mechanisms involved in regulating sleep duration, patterns and sleep quality regulation by identifying and characterization of individuals and families with unusual sleep and circadian rhythm behavior patterns.</p> <p>SACDS participants were screened with a "General Sleep Questionnaire" that inquired about multiple aspects of sleep, including habitual work-day versus non-work day sleep-wake schedules, permits calculation of subjective habitual initial sleep onset, final sleep offset, and number of awakenings. There was an additional screening process including demographic data, sleep, mood, behavioral and general medical questionnaires, plus the study consent.</p> <p>After the extensive screening of 117 participants, blood samples were collected from 38 individuals and of those 10 samples were chosen for whole exome sequencing analysis.</p>

Project description:Healthy young males (n=13) attended in this controlled laboratory experiment stimulating a workin week with reduced sleep. After baseline, the experimental group (n=9) were partially sleep deprived for 5 nights (time in bed 4 h/night) and had a recovery period of two nights (8 h/night). The control group (n= 4) spent the time in the same laboratory conditions but sleeping normally (8 h/night). RNA expression was detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) taken in the morning after baseline (BL), sleep restriction (SR), and recovery (REC) periods.

Project description:Our objective was to determine whether gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster selectively bred for long or short night sleep duration changes detectably across generations. To meet this objective, we performed transcriptional profiling of ten pooled whole adult individuals from four selected populations and two control populations across 13 generations. We quantified differential expression among selection scheme (long sleep, short sleep, or unselected control), generation (generation 0; then generations 2-13), and sex for each gene.

Project description:Sleep is a fundamental physiological function and is essential for all animals, including humans. Sleep has been reported to be affected by diet compositions including protein (P) and carbohydrates (C), but there has not been a systematic investigation of the effect of dietary macronutrient balance on sleep. Here, we used the nutritional geometry framework (NGF) to explore the interactive effects on sleep of protein (P) and carbohydrate (C) in the model organism Drosophila. Our results showed that the combination of low protein and moderate carbohydrate prolonged sleep time and sleep quality, with fewer sleep episodes and longer sleep duration. We further found that the effects of macronutrients on sleep mirrored levels of haemolymph glucose and whole-body glycogen. Moreover, transcriptome analyses revealed that high protein, low carbohydrate diet elevated the gene expression of amino acid metabolic pathways when compared to a diet lacking protein, with the glycine, serine, threonine metabolism pathway being most strongly regulated. However, sleep was not decreased in flies fed on a protein-deficient diet with added glycine, serine and threonine. In summary, our results demonstrate that sleep is affected by the balance of protein and carbohydrates in the diet and that reduced protein coupled with moderate carbohydrate promote sleep duration and quality.

Project description:Extended periods of waking result in physiological impairments in humans, rats, and flies. Sleep homeostasis, the increase in sleep observed following sleep loss, is believed to counter the negative effects of prolonged waking by restoring vital biological processes that are degraded during sleep deprivation. Sleep homeostasis, as with other behaviors, is influenced by both genes and environment. We report here that during periods of starvation, flies remain spontaneously awake but, in contrast to sleep deprivation, do not accrue any of the negative consequences of prolonged waking. Specifically, the homeostatic response and learning impairments that are a characteristic of sleep loss are not observed following prolonged waking induced by starvation. To identify the genes responsible for the protective effects of starvation we conducted transcription profiling of sleep deprived flies that accrue sleep debt compared to starved siblings that do not. Genes involved in lipid metabolism were highly enriched in our dataset of 84 differentially regulated transcripts. Follow up genetic studies established that 6 genes involved in lipid metabolism strongly influence sleep homeostasis. Two of these genes, brummer (bmm) and Lipid storage droplet 2 (Lsd2), are in the same lipolysis pathway but exert antagonistic effects on lipid storage. bmm mutant flies have excess fat stores and display a large homeostatic response following sleep deprivation. In contrast, Lsd2 mutant flies, which phenocopy aspects of starvation as measured by low triglyceride stores, do not exhibit a homeostatic response following sleep loss. Importantly, Lsd2 mutant flies are not learning impaired after sleep deprivation. These results provide the first genetic evidence, to our knowledge, that lipid metabolism plays an important role in regulating the homeostatic response and can protect against neuronal impairments induced by prolonged waking. Two-condition experiments: sleep deprived vs starved. RNA from 8 biological replicates for each condition was pooled in groups of 2 to create 4 samples. Each of the 4 samples is run in duplicate with untreated circadian matched controls.

Project description:To gain insight into the dynamic molecular processes that are altered during prolonged wakefulness and during sleep. We performed an RNA expression profiling study examining temporal changes in the brain of Drosophila in relationship to the duration of prior sleep or wakefulness. Our experimental design allowed us to determine whether genes identified as differentially regulated between sleep and wakefulness were up- or down-regulated in these states. Because stimulation of the experimental animal during the normal sleep period is used to prolong wakefulness in most experimental paradigms, the interpretation of the effects of prolonged wakefulness is confounded by the effect of the perturbation stimulus itself on the animal’s biology. We controlled for this effect in our experimental paradigm by examining gene expression changes in response to identical stimulation but during the animal’s normal wakefulness. The design of our study also allowed us to control for circadian variation in gene expression, since we compared sleeping and sleep deprived flies at the same diurnal time.

Project description:Background: Age-related cognitive deficits negatively affect quality of life and can presage serious neurodegenerative disorders. Despite sleep disruption’s well-recognized negative influence on cognition, and its prevalence with age, surprisingly few studies have tested sleep’s relationship to cognitive aging. Methodology: We measured sleep stages in young adult and aged F344 rats during inactive (enhanced sleep) and active (enhanced wake) periods. Animals were behaviorally characterized on the Morris water maze and gene expression profiles of their parietal cortices were taken. Principal Findings: Water maze performance was impaired, and inactive period deep sleep was decreased with age. However, increased deep sleep during the active period was most strongly correlated to maze performance. Transcriptional profiles were strongly associated with behavior and age, and were validated against prior studies. Bioinformatic analysis revealed increased translation and decreased myelin/ neuronal pathways. Conclusions: The F344 rat appears to serve as a reasonable model for some common sleep architecture and cognitive changes seen with age in humans, including the cognitively disrupting influence of active period deep sleep. Microarray analysis suggests that the processes engaged by this sleep are consistent with its function. Thus, active period deep sleep appears temporally misaligned but mechanistically intact, leading to the following: first, aged brain tissue appears capable of generating the slow waves necessary for deep sleep, albeit at a weaker intensity than in young. Second, this activity, presented during the active period, seems disruptive rather than beneficial to cognition. Third, this active period deep sleep may be a cognitively pathologic attempt to recover age-related loss of inactive period deep sleep. Finally, therapeutic strategies aimed at reducing active period deep sleep (e.g., by promoting active period wakefulness and/or inactive period deep sleep) may be highly relevant to cognitive function in the aging community.

Project description:Eight healthy human subjects were enrolled in a 6-day simulated shift work protocol. Blood samples were collected during the two 24-hour measurement periods. Blood samples were collected every 4 hours during both measurement periods. Subjects entered the lab on Day 1. At the start of Day 2, the first 24-hour measurement period was started. Subjects slept according to their habitual sleep/wake schedule, followed by a 16-hour constant posture procedure. On days 3-6, the sleep period was delayed by 10 hours. Following the third night on this schedule, subjects underwent another 24-hour measurement period. During both measurement periods, 7 blood samples were collected and PBMCs were isolated. mRNA was extracted, labelled, and hybridized to microarrays.
