Cytokines including IL1 and TNF partake in non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) regulation under physiological and inflammatory conditions. Administration of exogenous IL1 or TNF mimics the accumulation of these cytokines occurring during sleep loss to the extent that it induces the aforementioned symptoms. Extracellular ATP associated with neuro- and glio-transmission, acting via purine type 2 receptors, e.g., the P2X7 receptor, has a role in glia release of IL1 and TNF. These substances in turn act on neurons to change their intrinsic membrane properties and sensitivities to neurotransmitters and neuromodulators such as adenosine, glutamate and GABA. These actions change the network input-output properties, i.e., a state shift for the network. State oscillations occur locally within cortical columns and are defined using evoked response potentials. One such state, so defined, shares properties with whole animal sleep in that it is dependent on prior cellular activity—it shows homeostasis. The cortical column sleep-like state is induced by TNF and is associated with experimental performance detriments. ATP released extracellularly as a consequence of cellular activity is posited to initiate a mechanism by which the brain tracks its prior sleep-state history to induce/prohibit sleep. Thus, sleep is an emergent property of populations of local neural networks undergoing state transitions. Specific neuronal groups participating in sleep depend upon prior network use driving local network state changes via the ATP-cytokine-adenosine mechanism. Such considerations add complexity to finding biochemical markers for sleepiness.Citation:Clinton JM; Davis CJ; Zielinski MR; Jewett KA; Krueger JM. Biochemical regulation of sleep and sleep biomarkers. J Clin Sleep Med 2011;7(5):Supplement S38-S42.INTRODUCTIONSleep is associated with changes in the expression of many molecules,1,2 some of which are directly involved in sleep regulation.3,4 It is thus an attractive idea that one or more of these molecules, or the downstream changes in molecular events induced by these molecules, could serve as an index to sleepiness and prior time awake, predict how long someone may sleep if allowed, correlate with an individual's performance status, or be useful in the diagnosis of primary sleep disorders. Herein, we conclude that the simultaneous determination of several of such molecules may indeed be useful for these purposes. However, another conclusion will be that the biological actions of every identified sleep regulatory molecule are numerous and thus every sleep regulatory molecule lacks specificity for sleep.The modern era of investigations aimed at determining the humoral, or chemical, causes of sleep began with Ishimori's demonstration in 1909 that cerebral homogenates from sleep deprived dogs could induce sleep when injected into non-sleep deprived dogs. Similar studies were reported by Legendre and Piéron5 a few years later. Over the next few decades there were sporadic reports of unidentified sleep promoting substances, for example Schnedorf and Ivy.6 However, it was not until the 1960s and 1970s that attempts to isolate and characterize such substances were successful. One of the first sleep promoting substances, called "Factor S" was isolated and purified at Harvard Medical School.7 This substance progressively increased in the cerebral spinal fluid during sleep deprivation. In the 1980s, Factor S was chemically characterized as a muramyl peptide, a class of compounds previously known as immune adjuvants and as components of microbial cell walls.8 That work, and the work of others, led to our current knowledge of the biochemical regulation of sleep. Some of that knowledge is illustrated in Figure 1. This review will focus on the role that cytokines such as interleukin-1 β (IL1) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF) play in sleep regulation because they are currently the best characterized sleep regulatory substances (SRS) and many of their downstream biochemical mechanisms are also implicated in sleep regulation, e.g., adenosine, nitric oxide, prostaglandins, and others.Figure 1 The Sleep HomeostatDownload FigureSleep Regulatory Substance CriteriaFor a substance to be classified as a putative SRS several criteria need to be met.4,9,10 These include: 1) the substance and/or its receptor oscillates with sleep propensity; 2) sleep is increased or decreased with administration of the substance; 3) blocking the action or inhibiting the production of the substance changes sleep; 4) disease states, e.g., infection, associated with altered sleep also change levels of the putative SRS; and finally 5) the substance acts on known sleep regulatory circuits. While many substances meet some of these criteria including microRNAs, metabolites, hormones, growth factors, transcription factors, and various proteins and their receptors, only a few meet all the required characteristics to be considered an SRS. These include IL1, TNF and growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) for non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) and prolactin and nitric oxide (NO) for rapid eye movement sleep (REMS). These SRSs act within complex biochemical cascades, e.g., Figure 1, to form the sleep homeostat, a network of molecules that regulate sleep over different time scales.4,11Interleukin-1 Beta and Tumor Necrosis Factor AlphaIL1 and TNF are cytokines. They are released in response to many stimuli including sleep loss, tissue injury, and infection. Cytokines act via juxtacrine, autocrine, and paracrine signaling but can also serve as endocrines. IL1 and TNF are pleiotropic, serving both physiological and pathological functions including modulation of memory, mood, inflammation and sleep. Sleep loss and altered cytokine levels are associated with enhanced sensitivity to pain12,13 and kindling stimuli,14 fatigue,15–17 sleepiness and rebound sleep, metabolic syndrome18,19 including type-2 diabetes,20 and impaired cognition21,22 and memory.23–25 These sleep loss-associated symptoms can be elicited by injections of TNF or IL1.TNF or IL1 induces sleep in humans and animals when administered centrally or systemically, even when given in low non-pyrogenic doses.4 At lower doses the increases in sleep are restricted to NREMS. As the dose is raised, NREMS increases further at the expense of decreased REMS and fever may occur. At high doses both NREMS and REMS are inhibited. For example, a single intraperitoneal injection of TNF in mice induces an additional 90 min of sleep during the first 9 h post-injection. Microinjection of TNF or IL1 into or near hypothalamic and other sleep regulatory circuits enhances NREMS.26–29In addition to increasing time spent sleeping, these cytokines after central injection can enhance electroencephalographic (EEG) δ power (a measure of sleep intensity) during NREMS. This effect is similar to that seen after sleep deprivation30 suggesting that IL1 and TNF injection mimics the effect of sleep loss.Blocking the action or inhibiting the production via pharmacological agents or genetic manipulation of IL1 or TNF decreases spontaneous sleep.4 For instance, injection of antibodies to these cytokines, their soluble receptors, or small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting IL1 or TNF reduces NREMS and/or EEG δ power, e.g. Taishi et al.31 Mice lacking the TNF55kD receptor,32 or the type 1 IL1 receptor,33 or both TNF receptors34 sleep less than control mice. Some endogenous molecules inhibit IL1 and TNF and also attenuate spontaneous NREMS including IL-4, IL-10, IL-13,3 corticotrophin releasing hormone,35 IL1-receptor antagonist,4 and others (see Figure 1). We have recently found that transgenic mice with the ability to express human IL-37b, a suppressor of multiple pro-somnogenic cytokines36 sleep less after sleep deprivation than under baseline conditions.37Finally, IL1 and TNF vary with sleep propensity. For example, TNF mRNA38 and protein39 vary approximately twofold and 10-fold respectively, across the day in the cortex and hypothalamus and increase with sleep propensity. In humans, plasma TNF levels are correlated with EEG δ power.40 Sleep deprivation increases IL1 mRNA in the brain,41 and blocking TNF blunts the typical sleep rebound following sleep deprivation.3 TNF also has other roles in the brain including its involvement in synaptic scaling42 and glutamatergic gliotransmission.43Brain and circulating levels of TNF and IL1 are altered in many pathologies that exhibit sleep disturbances including sleep apnea, insomnia, HIV, AIDS, post-dialysis fatigue, chronic inflammation, excessive daytime sleepiness, myocardial infarction, preeclampsia, alcoholism, chronic fatigue syndrome, post-viral fatigue syndrome, influenza infection, and rheumatoid arthritis.44,45 A polymorphic variant of TNF, G-308A, has been linked to metabolic syndrome46,47 and sleep apnea.48 Clinically available inhibitors of IL1 or TNF reduce the sleepiness and fatigue associated with rheumatoid arthritis49 and sleep apnea.50 Furthermore, surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea reduces plasma levels of TNF as well as sleepiness.51 The link between pathology, cytokine levels, and sleep suggest that some primary sleep disorders such as sleep apnea or insomnia are chronic inflammatory disorders.Only now are we beginning to understand how wakefulness leads to increases in SRS production and release and how SRSs subsequently promote and alter sleep. Regardless, IL1 and TNF, as well as other SRSs not discussed herein, are clearly involved in sleep/wake regulation. Their measurement may provide an index for sleepiness, although as mentioned, because they are pleiotropic, they may index other processes as well. Specificity for sleep likely emerges from the actions of multiple such substances. Thus simultaneous measurement of multiple SRSs may be necessary to develop an assay with greater specificity for sleep.ATP-Cytokine-Adenosine HypothesisAlthough we know that sleep loss up-regulates SRSs, the exact property of wakefulness responsible for the enhanced expression of SRSs has only recently been explored. We posited that the brain tracks prior wakefulness via extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) released during neuro- and glio-transmission.52 The transient dynamic changes in ATP released into the extracellular space stimulate the production and release of longer-lived SRSs. ATP binds to purine type 2X7 receptors (P2X7R) on nearby cells to trigger the processing and release of IL1 and TNF from glia.53–56 Intracerebroventricular administration of an ATP agonist or ATP antagonists increases or decrease sleep, respectively.57 P2X7R knockout animals have reduced time spent in NREMS and EEG slow wave activity after sleep deprivation. There are diurnal variations in cortical P2X7R mRNA levels.57 ATP is also catabolized by ecto- enzymes into adenosine, a well characterized SRS (Figures 1 and 2).58 However, knockout mice lacking ecto-enzyme CD73, required for the conversion of extracellular adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine, have increased spontaneous NREMS suggesting that our understanding of adenosine sleep mechanisms is incomplete.59 IL1 and TNF likely alter neuronal/glial network sensitivity by causing dynamic changes in neuro- or glio-transmitter receptor expression and thereby alter network state.52 For example, TNF and IL1 activate nuclear factor κ β, a transcription factor for numerous genes linked to sleep regulation including IL1, TNF, the adenonsine A1 receptor (A1AR), the gluR1 subunit of AMPA receptors (gluR1), cyclo-oxygenase (COX), and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) (Figure 1).52 The release and actions of extracellular ATP are fundamentally a local event, altering network state in response to cell activity. A logical implication of this mechanism is that sleep is initiated at the local network level and is a consequence of cell activity. ATP and associated molecules (Figure 2) also provide additional potential targets to measure for characterization of state.Figure 2 The ATP-cytokine-adenosine hypothesisDownload FigureState Oscillations in Local Neuronal NetworksThe logic, evidence, and need for a local use-dependent sleep process are presented in detail elsewhere.52 To provide an experimental example, we briefly discuss work from Rector's laboratory demonstrating a sleep-like state in cortical columns. We broach the local use-dependent sleep hypothesis here because it provides a different view of the mechanisms responsible for sleepiness and it has bearing on whether it is worthwhile to pursue biochemical markers of sleep.Rector and colleagues have characterized cortical column states using evoked response potentials initiated by sensory input and measured using electrode arrays placed over the cortical areas receiving the sensory input. He showed, for example, that rat somatosensory cortical columns (well-characterized neuronal/glial networks receiving input from mystacial whiskers) have two distinct states, one of which shares properties of whole animal sleep. For instance, the probability of a particular column being in the sleep-like state depends on the prior duration of its wake-like state.60 If the whole animal is asleep, most cortical columns are in the sleep-like state, and conversely, if the animal is awake, most columns are in wake-like state. Further, enhanced afferent activity (e.g., by repeatedly twitching a single whisker), as well as local micro-injection of TNF, induce columns to switch to the sleep-like state.11 Such data suggest that whole animal sleep may be a consequence of the fraction of individual local neuronal/glial networks in the sleep-like state. Thus, if sleep is a fundamental property of local networks semi-autonomously oscillating between states, sleepiness may be an emergent property dependent upon the number of local networks in a sleep-like state but not necessarily a consequence of the same networks being in a sleep-like state every time sleepiness manifests. This view stands in contrast to the prevailing paradigm in sleep research that sleep regulatory circuits impose sleep and sleepiness on the brain. The inconsistencies and incompleteness of the dominant paradigm, and its fundamental dualist nature, are reviewed elsewhere52; sleep regulatory circuits likely help orchestrate and synchronize local states. Regardless, the local use-dependent sleep hypothesis suggests that perhaps global changes in SRSs (derived from many local networks) may possibly index sleepiness but following SRS expression in any one network would be futile for this purpose.ConclusionsSleep is a use-dependent phenomenon distributed throughout the brain and biochemically regulated in part by SRSs, including IL1 and TNF. Extracellular ATP, released in response to neuro- and glio- transmission, binds to purine type 2 receptors to mediate SRS production and release within local networks. These and other substances which participate in sleep regulation may serve as useful indicators of sleep history, necessity, or dysfunction. Due to their pleiotropic nature, multiple SRSs will need to be monitored simultaneously to provide a useful biomarker for sleepiness.DISCLOSURE STATEMENTThe authors have indicated no financial conflicts of interest.REFERENCES1 Kilduff TS, Lein ES, de la Iglesia H, Sakurai T, Fu YH, Shaw PNew developments in sleep research: molecular genetics, gene expression, and systems neurobiology.
