Abstract
Deprivation of sleep (DS) and its effects on circadian rhythm gene expression are not well understood despite their influence on various physiological and psychological processes. This study aimed to elucidate the changes in the expression of circadian rhythm genes following a night of sleep and DS. Their correlation with sleep architecture and physical activity was also examined. The study included 81 participants who underwent polysomnography (PSG) and DS with actigraphy. Blood samples were collected after PSG and DS. Expression levels of brain and muscle ARNT-like 1 (BMAL1), circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK), neuronal PAS domain protein 2 (NPAS2), period 1 (PER1), cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) and nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group D member 1 (NR1D1) were analyzed using qRT-PCR. DS decreased the expression of CLOCK and BMAL1 while increasing PER1. PER1 expression correlated positively with total sleep time and non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep duration and negatively with sleep latency, alpha, beta and delta waves in the O1A2 lead. Physical activity during DS showed positive correlations with CLOCK, BMAL1, and CRY1. The findings highlight the role of PER1 in modulating sleep patterns, suggesting potential targets for managing sleep-related disorders. Further research is essential to deepen the understanding of these relationships and their implications.
