The Relationship between Sleep Parameters Measured by Polysomnography and Selected Neurotrophic Factors

BACKGROUND: The molecular underpinnings of insufficient sleep remain underexplored, with disruptions in the neurotrophic signaling pathway emerging as a potential explanation. Neurotrophins (NTs), including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT3), neurotrophin 4 (NT4), and glial-cell-line-derived growth factor (GDNF), play crucial roles in nerve cell growth and repair. However, their associations with sleep patterns are poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the chosen neurotrophins and objective sleep parameters.

METHODS: The study involved 81 participants subjected to polysomnography (PSG). Blood samples were collected after PSG. The mRNA expression and serum protein concentrations of BDNF, GDNF, NT3, and NT4 were measured using real-time quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods, respectively.

RESULTS: BDNF and NT3 proteins were negatively correlated with NREM events, while NT4 protein positively correlated with REM events. Electroencephalography power analysis revealed BDNF protein's negative correlation with delta waves during rapid eye movement and non-rapid eye movement sleep.

CONCLUSION: The study highlights associations between neurotrophins and sleep, emphasizing BDNF's role in regulating NREM and REM sleep. The EEG power analysis implicated BDNF in delta wave modulation, shedding light on potential neurotrophic mechanisms underlying sleep effects on cognitive and mood processes.
