The sleep-wake distribution contributes to the peripheral rhythms in PERIOD-2

Abstract:
In the mouse, Period-2 (Per2) expression in tissues peripheral to the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) increases during sleep deprivation (SD) and when animals are predominantly awake spontaneously, suggesting that the circadian sleep-wake distribution directly contributes to the daily rhythms in Per2. We found support for this hypothesis by recording sleep-wake state alongside PER2 bioluminescence in freely behaving mice, demonstrating that PER2 increases during spontaneous waking and decreases during sleep. The temporary reinstatement of PER2 rhythmicity in behaviorally arrhythmic SCN-lesioned (SCNx) mice submitted to daily recurring SDs substantiates our hypothesis. Mathematical modelling revealed that PER2 dynamics can be described by a damped harmonic oscillator driven by two forces, a wake-driven and a SCN-independent circadian force. Our work underscores the notion that in peripheral tissues the clock gene circuitry integrates sleep-wake information and could thereby contribute to behavioral adaptability to respond to homeostatic requirements.
