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 />
