The endogenous somnogen adenosine excites a subset of sleep-promoting neurons via A2A receptors in the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus
Abstract
Recent research has shown that neurons in the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus are crucial for sleep by inhibiting wake-promoting systems, but the process that triggers their activation at sleep onset remains to be established. Since evidence indicates that sleep induced by adenosine, an endogenous sleep-promoting substance, requires activation of brain A(2A) receptors, we examined the hypothesis that adenosine could activate ventrolateral preoptic nucleus sleep neurons via A(2A) adenosine receptors in rat brain slices. Following on from our initial in vitro identification of these neurons as uniformly inhibited by noradrenaline and acetylcholine arousal transmitters, we established that the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus comprises two intermingled subtypes of sleep neurons, differing in their firing responses to serotonin, inducing either an inhibition (Type-1 cells) or an excitation (Type-2 cells). Since both cell types contained galanin and expressed glutamic acid decarboxylase-65/67 mRNAs, they potentially correspond to the sleep promoting neurons inhibiting arousal systems. Our pharmacological investigations using A(1) and A(2A) adenosine receptors agonists and antagonists further revealed that only Type-2 neurons were excited by adenosine via a postsynaptic activation of A(2A) adenosine receptors. Hence, the present study is the first demonstration of a direct activation of the sleep neurons by adenosine. Our results further support the cellular and functional heterogenei…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
