Daytime Dysfunction: Symptoms Associated with Nervous System Disorders Mediated by SIRT1

Le résumé fourni par la source

Daytime dysfunction, including symptoms like sleepiness, poor memory, and reduced responsiveness, is not well researched. It is crucial to develop animal models and study the biological mechanisms involved. We simulated sleep disorders through sleep deprivation, and stressful stimuli were used to establish daytime functional animal models. We used tests like the sodium pentobarbital sleep synergy test and the DSI telemetry system to measure sleep duration and structure. We also used tests like the Morris water maze, open field test, grip test, and baton twirling test to assess mental and physical fatigue. To assess the intrinsic biological mechanisms, we measured sleep-wake-related neurotransmitters and related receptor proteins, circadian rhythm-related proteins and cognition-related proteins in hypothalamus tissue, and oxidative stress, inflammatory factors, S100β, and HPA axis-related indexes in serum. Multi-factor sleep deprivation resulted in the disruption of sleep-wakefulness structure, memory-cognitive function degradation, decreased grip coordination, and other manifestations of decreased energetic and physical strength. The intrinsic biological mechanisms were related to the disturbed expression of sleep-wake, circadian rhythm, memory-cognition-related proteins, as well as the significant elevation of inflammatory factors, oxidative stress, the HPA axis, and other related indicators. Intrinsically related biological mechanisms and reduced sirt1 expression can lead to disruption of circadian rhythms; resulting in disruption of their sleep-wake-related neurotransmitter content and receptor expression. Meanwhile, the reduced expression of sirt1 also resulted in reduced expression of synapse-associated proteins. This study prepared an animal model of daytime dysfunction by means of multi-factor sleep deprivation. With sirt1 as a core target, the relevant biological mechanisms of neurological disorders were modulated.
