Results: The results showed that the sleep architecture changed in general<br />
in both genders. These alterations occurred in the light and dark<br />
period, and began on D1 and persisted until the end of study. OA rats<br />
regardless the gender showed a fragmented sleep pattern with reduced<br />
sleep efficiency, slow wave sleep, and paradoxical sleep, as well as with<br />
fewer paradoxical sleep bouts. However, the males showed lower sleep<br />
efficiency and slow wave sleep compared to females in the dark period.<br />
Additionally, OA affected the hormonal levels in the male rats, as testosterone<br />
levels were reduced compared with the control and sham groups.<br />
In female, progesterone and estradiol remained unchanged during the<br />
study.<br />
Conclusion: Thus, our results suggest that the chronic model of OA<br />
influenced sleep pattern on both genders, however, males appear to be<br />
more affected.<br />

Introduction: Every organism requires adequate communication between<br />
the nervous, immune and endocrine systems to ensure proper<br />
functioning of the body. When such communication is disrupted, may<br />
affects the others two systems, or cause a compensatory changes to<br />
maintain the equilibrium. One disease that disrupt all three system is<br />
arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis affects 1% of adult human population; it<br />
is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation<br />
and stiffness of several joints, enhanced pro-inflammatory cytokine<br />
levels, pain and anorexia. Clinical reports have found that many rheumathoid<br />
arthritis patients present sleep complains such as difficulty falling<br />
asleep, poor quality sleep,and sleep fragmentation, however little is<br />
known about the mechanism that induces the sleep changes observed in<br />
rheumatoid arthritis patients.<br />
Methods: In order to better describe the changes in the sleep-wake cycle<br />
architecture and to elucidate the mechanism by which rheumatoid arthritis<br />
induces sleep disruption we used an animal model of chronic joint<br />
inflammation in the Lewis rat. Fifty male Lewis rats, 300g body weight,<br />
were implanted for electroencephalographic and electromiographic recordings.<br />
Subjects were randomly assigned to one of five groups: intact<br />
animals, anterior hypophysectomy, posterior hypophysectomy, total<br />
hypophysectomy and sham-surgery controls (ten subjects each group).<br />
Fifteen days post-hypophysectomy a 24-hour polisomnographic record<br />
was carried on. Thereafter all subjects were intradermally injected with<br />
Freund’s adjuvant supplemented with Mycobacterium tuberculous at the<br />
base of the tail. Post-immunization polisomnographic recordings were<br />
carried on at days 6, 11, and 15, during the maximal immune response.<br />
At post-immunization day 16, serum, and spleen samples were obtained<br />
to characterize the immune state.<br />
Results: Differences between groups will be presented and also the values<br />
obtained in interleukines and corticosterone levels.<br />
Conclusion: The results are still being analyzed, show that the process<br />
of rheumatoid arthritis induction, had significant effects on sleep archi-<br />
tecture, when the individual lacks some or all of the pituitary hormone<br />
action.<br />

Introduction: Interleukin-1beta (IL1) has several functions including<br />
regulation of sleep, cerebral blood flow and inflammation. The IL1<br />
receptor accessory protein (IL1RAcP) is required for IL1 signaling; a<br />
brain specific, alternatively spliced, form of IL1RAcP called AcPb interferes<br />
with IL1-IL1RAcP signaling. The goal of this study was to test the<br />
hypothesis that AcPb knock-out (KO) mice will sleep more in response<br />
to sleep deprivation (SD).<br />
Methods: Male IL1RAcPbKO and C57BL/6 controls were surgically<br />
implanted with EEG and EMG electrodes for sleep analysis. Spontaneous<br />
sleep and sleep responses following 6 h of SD were analyzed by<br />
established criteria. EEG power analyses of non-rapid eye movement<br />
sleep (NREMS) epochs were also performed.<br />
Results: In both strains of mice, duration of spontaneous NREMS and<br />
REMS exhibited diurnal rhythms with greater amounts of sleep observed<br />
in light periods than in dark periods (P < 0.001 for each). NREMS EEG<br />
slow wave activity (0.5-4Hz) (SWA) also exhibited a diurnal rhythm<br />
during spontaneous sleep (P < 0.001). SD significantly enhanced duration<br />
of NREMS and REMS in both strains (P < 0.001 for each). However,<br />
there were no significant differences between strains in duration of<br />
NREMS or REMS following SD. SD significantly enhanced NREMS<br />
EEG SWA during the first two post-SD hours in both strains (P = 0.002).<br />
However, NREMS EEG SWA responses to SD were not different in<br />
AcPbKO mice compared to controls.<br />
Conclusion: IL1RAcPbKO mice have similar spontaneous sleep and<br />
sleep responses to SD as C57BL/6 mice. IL1 is involved in many aspects<br />
of sleep regulation, including changes in sleep associated with pathology.<br />
Nevertheless, current results suggest that AcPb may not be involved<br />
in the IL1-IL1RAcP-sleep signaling pathway.<br />
