Project description:The circadian clock drives daily changes of physiology, including sleep-wake cycles, by regulating transcription, protein abundance and function. Circadian phosphorylation controls cellular processes in peripheral organs, but little is known about its role in brain function and synaptic activity. We applied advanced quantitative phosphoproteomics to mouse forebrain synaptoneurosomes isolated across 24h, accurately quantifying almost 8,000 phosphopeptides. Remarkably, half of the synaptic phosphoproteins, including numerous kinases, had large-amplitude rhythms peaking at rest-activity and activity-rest transitions. Bioinformatic analyses revealed global temporal control of synaptic function via phosphorylation, including synaptic transmission, cytoskeleton reorganization and excitatory/inhibitory balance. Remarkably, sleep deprivation abolished 98% of all phosphorylation cycles in synaptoneurosomes, indicating that sleep-wake cycles rather than circadian signals are main drivers of synaptic phosphorylation, responding to both sleep and wake pressures.

Project description:Although the mammalian rest-activity cycle is controlled by a "master clock" in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus, it is unclear how firing of individual SCN neurons gates individual features of daily activity. Here, we demonstrate that a specific transcriptomically identified population of mouse VIP+ SCN neurons is active at the "wrong" time of the day -nighttime- when most SCN neurons are silent. Using chemogenetic and optogenetic strategies, we show that these neurons and their cellular clocks are necessary and sufficient to gate and time nighttime sleep, but have no effect upon daytime sleep. We propose mouse nighttime sleep, analogous to the human siesta, is a "hard-wired" property gated by specific neurons of the master clock to favor subsequent alertness prior to dawn (a circadian "wake maintenance zone"). Thus, the SCN is not simply a 24h metronome: specific populations sculpt critical features of the sleep-wake cycle.

Project description:We monitored gene expression and chromatin accessibility in the cerebral cortex of 10-12 week-old male C57BL/6J mice for 24 hours before and until 48 hours after the end of a single total sleep deprivation (SD) episode. The aim was to characterise the response to SD and recovery thereafter.

Project description:The sleep-wake cycle is determined by a circadian and a sleep homeostatic process. However, the molecular impact of these two processes and their interaction on different cell populations in the brain remain unknown. To fill this gap, we have profiled the single-cell transcriptome of adult fruit fly brains across the sleep-wake cycle and different circadian times. We show cell type-specific transcriptomic changes between sleep/wakefulness states, different levels of sleep drive, and varying circadian times, with glial cells displaying the largest variations. Furthermore, the cell types whose transcriptomic dynamics correlate with the sleep homeostat or circadian clock are largely non-overlapping, with the exception of glial cells. Diminishing the circadian clock only in glial cells impairs the homeostatic sleep rebound after sleep deprivation. These findings reveal a comprehensive picture of different effects of sleep homeostatic and circadian processes on different cell types and define glial cells as the interaction sites of these two processes to determine sleep-wake dynamics.

Project description:Different mammalian species vary greatly in their daily sleep quota, ranging from 2-4 hours in giraffes to 20-22 hours in koalas and bats. In humans, the sleep quantity and quality of individuals are governed by genetic factors and exhibit age-dependent variations. However, the molecular pathways and effector mechanisms that regulate daily sleep need in mammals remain unknown. Here, using an adult brain chimeric (ABC)-expression/knockout (KO) system for somatic genetics analysis of sleep in adult mice, we report that gain-of-function of histone deacetylases HDAC4/5 significantly reduces, whereas loss-of-function of HDAC4/5 increases daily non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) amount and delta power–two key indicators of sleep need. Similarly, ABC-expression of cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) or A-CREB, an inhibitor of transcriptional activity of CREB, decreases or increases NREMS amount and delta power, respectively. A combination of genetic and transcriptomic analysis reveals that HDAC4 functions in tandem with CREB in both transcriptional and sleep regulation. Consistent with their functions downstream of LKB1-SIK3 kinase cascade, ABC-expression of HDAC4/5CA or CREB rescues hypersomnia of Sik3E13∆/+ mice, whereas ABC-expression of SIK3/SLP-ST221E or HDAC(4+5)VP16 rescues insomnia of ABC-Lkb1KO mice. Taken together, these results identify LKB1-SIK3-HDAC4/5-CREB as the first major molecular pathway for transcriptional regulation of daily sleep need in mammals.

Project description:Homeostatic scaling is a global form of synaptic plasticity used by neurons to adjust overall synaptic weight and maintain neuronal firing rates while protecting information coding. While homeostatic scaling has been demonstrated in vitro, a clear physiological function of this plasticity type has not been defined. Sleep is an essential process that modifies synapses to support cognitive functions such as learning and memory. Evidence suggests that information coding during wake drives synapse strengthening which is offset by weakening of synapses during sleep .Here we use biochemical fractionation, proteomics and in vivo two-photon imaging to characterize wide-spread changes in synapse composition in mice through the wake/sleep cycle. We find that during the sleep phase, synapses are weakened through dephosphorylation and removal of synaptic AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) driven by the immediate early gene Homer1a and signaling from group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1/5), consistent with known mechanisms of homeostatic scaling-down in vitro. Further, we find that these changes are important in the consolidation of contextual memories. While Homer1a gene expression is driven by neuronal activity during wake, Homer1a protein targeting to synapses serves as an integrator of arousal and sleep need through signaling by the wake-promoting neuromodulator noradrenaline (NA) and sleep-promoting modulator adenosine. During sleep or periods of increased sleep need Homer1a enters synapses where it remodels mGluR1/5 signaling complexes to promote AMPAR removal. Thus, we have characterized widespread changes occurring at synapses through the wake/sleep cycle and demonstrated that known mechanisms of homeostatic scaling-down previously demonstrated only in vitro are active in the brain during sleep to remodel synapses, contributing to memory consolidation.

Project description:The timing and duration of sleep results from the interaction between a homeostatic sleep-wake-driven process and a periodic circadian process, and involves changes in gene regulation and expression. Unraveling the contributions of both processes and their interaction to transcriptional and epigenomic regulatory dynamics requires sampling over time under conditions of unperturbed and perturbed sleep. We profiled mRNA expression and chromatin accessibility in the cerebral cortex of mice over a 3-d period, including a 6-h sleep deprivation (SD) on day 2. We used mathematical modeling to integrate time series of mRNA expression data with sleep-wake history, which established that a large proportion of rhythmic genes are governed by the homeostatic process with varying degrees of interaction with the circadian process, sometimes working in opposition. Remarkably, SD caused long-term effects on gene-expression dynamics, outlasting phenotypic recovery, most strikingly illustrated by a damped oscillation of most core clock genes, including Arntl/Bmal1, suggesting that enforced wakefulness directly impacts the molecular clock machinery. Chromatin accessibility proved highly plastic and dynamically affected by SD. Dynamics in distal regions, rather than promoters, correlated with mRNA expression, implying that changes in expression result from constitutively accessible promoters under the influence of enhancers or repressors. Serum response factor (SRF) was predicted as a transcriptional regulator driving immediate response, suggesting that SRF activity mirrors the build-up and release of sleep pressure. Our results demonstrate that a single, short SD has long-term aftereffects at the genomic regulatory level and highlights the importance of the sleep-wake distribution to diurnal rhythmicity and circadian processes.
