Impairment of memory functions has been frequently reported in models of sleep deprivation. Similarly, hippocampal long-term synaptic plasticity has been shown to be sensitive to sleep loss due to acute sleep restriction. However, such approaches are limited by the stressful nature of sleep deprivation, and because it is difficult to study long term sleep restriction in animals. Here we report the effects of chronic sleep loss on hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) in a rodent model for chronic partial sleep deprivation. We studied LTP of the Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses in hippocampal slices prepared from rats with lesions of the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO), who suffer reduction in total sleep time for several weeks after lesions. In slices prepared from VLPO-lesioned rats, LTP was impaired proportional to the amount of sleep loss and the decline in LTP followed a single exponential function over the amount of accumulated sleep debt. As compared to sham-lesioned controls, hippocampal slices from VLPO-lesioned rats showed a greater response to adenosine antagonists and greater paired-pulse facilitation (PPF). However, exogenous adenosine depressed evoked synaptic transmission and increased PPF in VLPO-lesioned and sham-lesioned rats by equal amounts, suggesting that the greater endogenous adenosine inhibitory tone in the VLPO-lesioned rats is associated with greater ligand accumulation rather than a change in adenosine receptor sensitivity or adenosine-mediated neurotransmitter release probability. LTP in VLPO-lesioned animals was partially restored by adenosine antagonists suggesting that adenosine accumulation in VLPO-lesioned animals can account for some of the observed synaptic plasticity deficits.
