Potential role of orexin and sleep modulation in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease

Open access

Abstract

Age-related aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) is an upstream pathological event in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis, and it disrupts the sleep–wake cycle. The amount of sleep declines with aging and to a greater extent in AD. Poor sleep quality and insufficient amounts of sleep have been noted in humans with preclinical evidence of AD. However, how the amount and quality of sleep affects Aβ aggregation is not yet well understood. Orexins (hypocretins) initiate and maintain wakefulness, and loss of orexin-producing neurons causes narcolepsy. We tried to determine whether orexin release or secondary changes in sleep via orexin modulation affect Aβ pathology. Amyloid precursor protein (APP)/Presenilin 1 (PS1) transgenic mice, in which the orexin gene is knocked out, showed a marked decrease in the amount of Aβ pathology in the brain with an increase in sleep time. Focal overexpression of orexin in the hippocampus in APP/PS1 mice did not alter the total amount of sleep/wakefulness and the amount of Aβ pathology. In contrast, sleep deprivation or increasing wakefulness by rescue of orexinergic neurons in APP/PS1 mice lacking orexin increased the amount of Aβ pathology in the brain. Collectively, modulation of orexin and its effects on sleep appear to modulate Aβ pathology in the brain.

  • In transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, SWS restriction accelerates activity-dependent amyloidβ aggregation, whereas SWS enhancement delays aggregation.

    “Recent studies in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) reveal that SWS restriction accelerates activity-dependent amyloid𝛃 aggregation, whereas SWS enhancement delays aggregation [5].”

    From Long-Term Trazodone Use and Cognition: A Potential Therapeutic Role for Slow-Wave Sleep Enhancers (2019) · cites this paper as [5]

    The Results and Discussion section ('Sleep deprivation induced Aβ pathology in OR−/− mice'; page unavailable) reports increased Aβ plaque pathology after sleep deprivation, while increased sleep time with orexin deficiency was associated with reduced pathology. The study does not specifically test restriction or enhancement of slow-wave sleep (SWS), and it presents the neuronal-activity mechanism as supported but not established to the exclusion of other mechanisms.

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.
