hasshownthatbothsleepdeprivationandapreclinicalmodelof epilepsycaninduceDNAdamageandhyperactivityinrodents[1,3]. Sleep deprivation is one of the most important triggers of seizuresinepilepsypatients[5,15,26];however,the pathophysio-logicalmechanismsinvolvedinthisharmfulassociationhavebeen unexplored.Inthissense,moreinformation,beyondthefindings ofelectrophysiologicalstudies,couldprovideastartingpointfor futureclinicaltrialsoftreatmentsforepilepsy[16].

Considering the prevalence of sleep deficitsin patientsand animalswithepilepsy,andtheinfluenceofsleepdeprivationon locomotor activity and DNA damage, the aimof present study wastoexaminetheeffectsofsleeploss(totalandselective)on motor behavior and neuronal genotoxicityin ratssubmitted to pilocarpine-inducedSE.

experimentswereperformedinmaleadultWistar-Hannoverrats aged60daysatthebeginningofthestudy.

2.1. Pilocarpine-inducedstatusepilepticus

Statusepilepticuswasinducedwithasingledoseofpilocarpine (350mg/kg, i.p.) 30min after injection of methylscopolamine (0.1mg/kg,s.c.)(PILOgroup).Thevehiclegroup(SAL)wasinjected withsaline(0.9%NaCl,i.p.).Onlyratsthatdisplayedconvulsiveand intermittentseizuresafterpilocarpineinjectionwereincludedin thisstudy.Seizureactivitywasmonitoredbehaviorallyand termi-natedafter3hofconvulsiveSEwithani.p.injectionofdiazepam (10mg/kg).FiftydaysaftertheSEepisode,pilocarpine-treatedrats wereassigned randomlytototal sleepdeprivation (TSD+PILO), paradoxicalsleepdeprivation(PSD+PILO)orcontrol(keptintheir homecages;CTRL+PILO)groups.RatsintheSALgroupwere dis-tributedintogroupssubmittedtothesameconditions(TSD+SAL, PSD+SAL, and CTRL-SAL). The numbers of animals used were n=11–14fortheopenfield testand n=6forthesinglecellgel electrophoresisassay.

2.2. Totalandparadoxicalsleepdeprivationprocedures

After50 days of SE, TSD was induced bya gentlehandling protocolinTSD+PILOandTSD+SALgroups.Thisprocedurewas performedfor6h(07:00–13:00),andconsistedofeithertouching theanimalswithabrushorgentlymovingtheircageswhenever theyclosedtheireyes.Theanimalswerenotdisturbedduring feed-inganddrinking.

Inparallel,PSDwasinducedfor24husingthemodifiedmultiple platformmethod.Briefly,thePSDprocedureconsistedofplacing ratsinatiledwatertank(106cm×40cm×30cm)containing14 circularplatforms,eachof6.5cmindiameter.Theratscouldthus movearoundinside thetankbyjumpingfrom oneplatformto another.Whentheyreachedtheparadoxicalphaseofsleep,muscle atoniasetin,andtheyfellintothewaterandawoke[2,3].Basedon pilotexperiments,24hwasestablishedasasafeperiodofPSDin ratswithepilepsy.Thecagecontrolgroupwasmaintainedinthe sameroomasthePSDgroup.

2.3. Openfieldtest

Immediately after the sleep deprivation protocols (13:00–15:00), the open field test was applied to assess gen-eralmotorbehavior.Ratswereplacedinacirculararena(96cm diameter),thefloorof which wasdividedinto19 squares. Fre-quencyof peripherallocomotion (numberofentrancesintothe floorunitsclosetothewallsofthebox),centrallocomotion (num-berofentrancesintothefloorunitsnotclosetothewalls),total locomotion(numberoffloorunitsentered),andrearing(number oftimestheanimalsstoodontheirhindlegs)werequantifiedby countingthe number of inter-square lines crossed. Immobility (totaltimeoflackofmovement)wasalsomeasured.

2.4. Singlecellgelelectrophoresis(comet)assay

After behavioral analysis, the animals were euthanized by decapitation,arapidandpainlessprocedurecarriedoutlessthan 1min in adjacentroom. Brains wererapidly removed,and the cerebralcortexwasdissectedandmincedin0.9%NaCl.The super-natantwasremovedandcellularsuspensionswereusedinsingle cellgelelectrophoresis(comet)assaysconductedaccordingSasaki and colleagues [20] with some modifications. Cell suspensions (10␮L)wereaddedto120␮Lof0.5%low-melting-pointagarose

at37◦C,layeredontoaslidepre-coatedwith1.5%regularagarose, andcoveredwithacoverslip.Afterrapidagarosesolidificationin arefrigerator,thecoverslipswereremovedandtheslideswere immersed in lysis solution (2.5M NaCl, 100mM EDTA, 10mM Tris–HCl buffer, pH 10, 1% sodium sarcosinate with 1% Triton X-100 and 10% DMSO) for approximately 1h. The slides were placed in alkaline buffer (pH>13) for 20min and then elec-trophoresedfor20minat0.7V/cm,300mA.Afterelectrophoresis, theslides wereneutralized in 0.4MTris–HCl (pH 7.5),fixedin absoluteethanolandstoreduntilanalysis.

2.5. Genotoxicitydataanalysis

Followingthecometassayprocedure,a totalof50randomly capturedcometsperanimal(25cellsoneachoftwoslides)[10] wereexaminedblindlybyanexpertobserverat400× magnifica-tionunderafluorescencemicroscope(Olympus).Themicroscope wasconnectedtoanimageanalysissystem(CometAssayII, Per-ceptiveInstruments,Haverhill,Suffolk,UK)calibratedpreviously according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Undamaged cells haveanintactnucleuswithoutatail,whereasdamagedcellshave theappearanceofacomet.Inthepresentstudy,DNAdamagewas analyzedbasedonthetailmomentparameter(theproductofthe taillengthandthefractionofDNAinthecomettail)[10].

2.6. Statisticalmethods

Allvariableswerefirsttestedfornormalityandnoneshoweda normaldistribution(p>0.05intheShapiro-Wilktest).Thus,the datawereconverted intoz-score. Oncethere were2 factorsin thecurrentstudy:Sleep(CTRL,TSDandPSD)andTreatment(SAL andPILO),thevariableswerefurtheranalyzedwith2-wayANOVA followedbyTukeyposthoctestwhennecessary.Thelevelof sig-nificancewassetat5%.Dataarereportedasmeans±SEM.

4. Discussion

Inthepresentstudy,weshowedthatacutesleepdeprivation causesDNAdamageinthebrainsofratssubmittedto pilocarpine-inducedSE.Althoughpilocarpineratsexhibitedhyperactivity,this appearednottobeinfluencedbyacutesleepdeprivation.

The epilepsy-induced hyperactivity reported in the current studyis consistentwithearlier findingsshowingan augmenta-tion of locomotor activityduring thelight period in rats with epilepsy [24]. In the present study, ambulation was measured between1PMand3PM.Thehyperactivityobservedinourstudy couldbepartially dueto anabnormalsleep-wake cycle inrats withepilepsy,oncetheseanimalspresentedanincreaseofactive wakefulnessduringtheafternoon[15].Infact,ratswithepilepsy showalteredsleeparchitectureandanabnormaldistributionof sleep-wakephasescomparedwithhealthyrats[15].Inaddition toepilepsy-inducedsleep-wakealterations,lesionsinmanybrain areas,includingthepiriformcortex,hippocampalformationand thalamus,couldpotentiallyexplaintheimpairmentsinlocomotor activityandotherbehaviors[25].Furthermore,ourdata demon-stratedthatthepathologicalmechanismsinvolvedinlocomotor hyperactivityinratssubmittedtopilocarpine-inducedSEwerenot affectedbyacute sleepdeprivation.In fact,TSD didnot induce hyperactivityinmiceandlongerperiodsofPSDwererequiredto producebehavioralalterations[1,19].Itisimportanttomention

that,evenwiththeabsenceofeffectofsleepdeprivation; locomo-toractivityisafinalparameterresultingfromacomplexprocess andmaynotbesufficientlysensitiveforthisapproach.

Ourresultsrevealedthatepilepsyinducesgeneticdamagein brain cells, and that sleep loss potentiates this damage. These findings demonstrate that genetic changes in the healthy and epilepticbrainscanbeginevenafterjustafewhourswithoutsleep. Pilocarpine-inducedSEhasbeenshowntocauseneuronaldeathin thebrain[8,22,23]andinternucleosomalDNAfragmentationhas beenobservedinnecroticcellsat24and72hfollowingSE[8].The resultsofthepresentstudyshowthatepilepsyalsoincreases vul-nerabilitytoDNAdamage.Inaddition,ourobservationofgenotoxic effectsofsleepdeprivationisconsistentwiththeresultsof previ-ousstudiesreportingDNAdamageinthebrainsof healthyrats after24hofPSD[3].Moreover,nitricoxide-mediatedregulationof sleepphases[21]andoxidativedamageinmicedeprivedofsleep [13]maypotentiallyberelatedtosleepdeprivation-inducedDNA damage[3].

Epilepsyclearlyincreasedtheamountofgenotoxicdamageafter TSDandPSD.However,onlyPSDinducedadetrimentaleffectin healthy rats.TSD and epilepsycombined produced detrimental effects,possiblyasaresultoftheabnormalsleep-wakecyclein animalswithepilepsy[15].For instance,ratswithspontaneous recurrentseizuresshowincreasedNREMsleepduringthe morn-ing[15],theperiodduringwhichratsweresubmittedtoTSD.As aconsequence,ratsinthePILOgroupwereexposedtoahigher pressureforsleepcomparedwiththevehiclegroup.Infact, dur-ingtheperiodofTSD,epilepticratsshowednoexploratoryactivity andthevastmajorityofanimalswithepilepsyshowedextreme drowsinessthroughouttheentireexperimentalperiod(whereas healthyanimalsweremorealert).However,itispossiblethatother variable,suchasthehighlevelsofcorticosteronepresentinrats withepilepsy[26]and/orthestressinducedbygentlehandling [27]couldcorroboratedwithaforementionedresult.

Fewstudieshaveinvestigatedthedifferencesinthemolecular effectsoftotalversusselectivesleeploss.Leeetal.[14]reported thatneitherTSDnorPSDaffectedthestabilityofreferencegenes inbrainandblood.Incontrast,behavioraltests,suchastestsof plus-mazediscriminativeavoidanceorthepassiveavoidancetask, revealeddifferencesbetweentheeffectsofPSDandTSDon state-dependentlearninginmice[17].

Inconclusion,weshowthatepilepsyinducesmarkedlocomotor hyperactivityandDNAdamageinrats.However,thedetrimental effectofsleeplossonbraincellswasnotaccompaniedbybehavioral changes.InviewofthefactthatDNAdamageisanimportantstep intheeventsleadingtogenomicinstability,ourresultsemphasize thepotentialhealthrisksassociatedwithacutesleepdeprivation inpatientswithepilepsy.
