triggers a reaction of the homeostatic sleep regulatory
system in which adenosine is believed to play a key role.
The brain adenosine concentration increases during
wakefulness thereby inducing sleepiness [1]. If wakefulness
is extended by sleep deprivation, this increase is
accompanied by an up-regulation of adenosine receptor
density [2].Previously, we found in subjects deprived of
sleep for 28 hours, an increase of the distribution volume
(VT) of the highly selective A1 adenosine receptor (A1AR)
radioligand 18F CPFPX in a region-specific pattern in
several brain regions (maximum: orbitofrontal cortex
$15.3\%,$ p=0.014, n=12). Whereas there were no significant
changes $(1.5\%)$ in a control group (n=10) with regular
sleep between both scans [2].The objective of the current
study was to investigate if an extension of the wake period
to 58 hours leads to a further increase of A1AR densities
and if subsequent recovery sleep restores baseline levels of
receptor densities.Methods: 15 healthy male volunteers
participated in a dynamic 18F CPFPX bolus/infusions-PET
study with blood sampling and metabolite correction.
Subjects were scanned after 58 hours of sustained
wakefulness and after 14 hours of recovery sleep at the same
time of day on consecutive days under identical
conditions.Regional VT were determined by calculating the
tissue to plasma ratio during the steady state
phase.Results: The distribution volumes after sleep
deprivation (e.g. VT=0.83, orbitofrontal cortex) were found
to be significantly higher than after the recovery sleep
condition in all (sub)cortical regions investigated
$(10-14\%,$ p=0.001-0.008). Compared to the baseline group
of the preceding experiment (VT=0.73, n=22) the receptor
density after recovery sleep (VT=0.72) was not significantly
different. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that a
single night of recovery sleep returns the increased A1AR
availability in the human brain after prolonged sleep
deprivation back to the level of normal sleeping controls.
These findings support the general hypothesis of an increase
in synaptic strength during wakefulness and downscaling
during normal sleep as a maintenance mechanism of synaptic
functionality. Research support: References: [1]
