Introduction: Sleep disruption is a characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that may exacerbate disease progression. This study tested whether a dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA) would enhance sleep and attenuate neuropathology, neuroinflammation, and cognitive deficits in an AD-relevant mouse model, 5XFAD.Methods: Wild-type (C57Bl6/SJL) and 5XFAD mice received chronic treatment with vehicle or DORA-22. Piezoelectric recordings monitored sleep and spatial memory was assessed via spontaneous Y-maze alternations. A beta plaques, A beta levels, and neuroinflammatory markers were measured by immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and real-time polymerase chain reaction, respectively.Results: In 5XFAD mice, DORA-22 significantly increased light-phase sleep without reducing A beta levels, plaque density, or neuroinflammation. Effects of DORA-22 on cognitive deficits could not be determined because the 5XFAD mice did not exhibit deficits.Discussion: These findings suggest that DORAs may improve sleep in AD patients. Further investigations should optimize the dose and duration of DORA-22 treatment and explore additional AD-relevant animal models and cognitive tests. (C) 2019 The Authors.
