摘要: 旨在探究睡眠剥夺后小鼠血浆褪黑激素(MT)水平和下丘脑钟基因表达的变化。将72只小鼠随机分为对照组与睡眠剥夺试验组(n=36),试验组小鼠接受水平台法连续72 h睡眠剥夺。在试验结束后当日每隔4 h(CT4、8、12、16、20和24时)采血测定血浆MT含量,并取下丘脑以RT-PCR方法测定钟基因mClockmBmal1、mCry1/2、mPer1~3、mRorβmReverbα表达量。结果显示,相较于对照组,试验组小鼠血浆MT水平昼夜节律紊乱。在下丘脑钟基因的表达量上,mClockmRorβmReverbα的中值显著下降(P<0.05),而mPer1和mPer2中值显著增加(P<0.01);对于昼夜节律,mCry1和mCry2的昼夜节律消失;对于钟基因的相位,mBmal1和mClock相位提前,而mRorβmPer1~3相位延后。结果提示,小鼠睡眠剥夺3 d可致MT分泌和下丘脑钟基因表达节律紊乱。

Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the changes in plasma Melatonin (MT) level and hypothalamic clock gene expression in mice after sleep deprivation (SD). Seventy-two mice were randomly divided into SD group and non-sleep-deprived control group (n=36). The SD mice were subjected to a modified multiple platform water path for 72 h sleep deprivation. After that, blood samples were taken every four hours (CT4,8,12,16,20 and 24) for the detection of plasma MT content, and hypothalamus samples were collected for the detection of the expressions of clock genes including mClock, mBmal1, mCry1/2, mPer1-3, mRorβ and mReverbα. The results showed that compared with control group, circadian rhythm of plasma MT was disordered in SD group. The median values of mClock, mRorβ and mReverbα in the hypothalamus decreased significantly (P<0.05), but mPer1 and mPer2 increased significantly (P<0.01); the circadian rhythms of mCry1 and mCry2 disappeared; the expression rhythms of mBmal1, and mClock were advanced in phase, while mRorβ and mPer1-3’s were delayed. These results suggested that acute sleep deprivation of 3 d could cause disorders of MT secretion and hypothalamic clock gene expression in mice.

Key words: sleep deprivation, melatonin, clock gene, hypothalamus, circadian rhythm
