Abstract

Interleukin 1β (IL-1) is a key mediator of the acute phase response in an infected host and acts centrally to coordinate responses to an immune challenge, such as fever and increased non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. The preoptic area (POA) is a primary sleep regulatory center in the brain: the ventrolateral POA (VLPO) and median preoptic nucleus (MnPN) each contain high numbers of c-Fos protein immunoreactive (IR) neurons after sleep but not after waking. We hypothesized that IL-1 mediates increased NREM sleep through activation of these sleep-active sites. Rats injected intracerebroventricularly with IL-1 (10 ng) at dark onset spent significantly more time in NREM sleep 4–5 h after injection. This increase in NREM sleep was associated with increased numbers of Fos-IR neurons in the MnPN, but not in the VLPO. Fos IR in the rostral MnPN was significantly increased 2 h post IL-1 injection, although the percentage of NREM sleep in the preceding 2 h was the same as controls. Fos IR was also increased in the extended VLPO 2 h postinjection. Finally, Fos IR in the MnPN did not differ significantly between IL-1 and vehicle-treated rats that had been sleep deprived for 2 h postinjection, but it was increased in VLPO core. Taken together, these results suggest that Fos IR in the MnPN after IL-1 is not independent of behavioral state and may require some threshold amount of sleep for its expression. Our results support a hypothesis that IL-1 enhances NREM sleep, in part, through activation of neurons in the MnPN of the hypothalamus.
