Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta ) is a well characterized sleep regulatory substance. To study receptor mechanisms for the sleep-promoting effects of IL-1beta , sleep patterns were determined in control and IL-1 type I receptor knockout (IL-1RI KO) mice with a B6x129 background after intraperitoneal injections of saline or murine recombinant IL-1beta . The IL-1RI KO mice had slightly but significantly less sleep during the dark period compared with the controls. IL-1beta dose dependently increased non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) and suppressed rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) in the controls. The IL-1RI KO mice did not respond to IL-1beta . In contrast, the IL-1RI KO mice increased NREMS and decreased REMS after administration of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha ), another well characterized sleep-promoting substance. These results 1) provide further evidence that IL-1beta is involved in sleep regulation, 2) indicate that the effects of IL-1beta on sleep are mediated by the type I receptor, and 3) suggest that TNF-alpha is capable of inducing sleep without the involvement of IL-1.

INTERLEUKIN-1beta (IL-1beta ) is one of the best characterized sleep-promoting substances. Administration of exogenous IL-1beta increases non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) in all species tested, including rabbits (26), rats (38, 49), cats (43), mice (19), and monkeys (20), and induces sleepiness in humans (12). In contrast, reduction of endogenous IL-1beta activity by administration of anti-IL-1 antibodies (36), the IL-1 receptor antagonist (37), or the IL-1 soluble receptor (45) inhibits spontaneous sleep or sleep induced by sleep deprivation. The IL-1 receptor antagonist or the IL-1 soluble receptor also inhibits sleep induced by bacterial products (46). Furthermore, sleep is enhanced by substances that stimulate IL-1beta production such as muramyl dipeptide, double-stranded RNA, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha ) (reviewed in Ref. 25) and is reduced by substances that inhibit IL-1beta such as corticotropin-releasing hormone (16), prostaglandin E2 (23), interleukin-4 (27), and interleukin-10 (39). IL-1beta and other members of the IL-1 family of molecules are constituitively expressed in the brain (reviewed in Ref. 25). IL-1beta mRNA in the brain is increased during sleep deprivation (30) and displays a diurnal rhythm in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and cortex in rats (44). IL-1-like bioactivity in the cerebrospinal fluid also varies in phase with the sleep-wake cycle (29). Finally, sleep deprivation increases circulating IL-1 (24, 33).

Although the involvement of IL-1beta in sleep regulation is well characterized, the mechanisms responsible for such effects are not clearly understood. This is in part due to the fact that the receptor that mediates the effects of IL-1beta on sleep was unknown. IL-1 receptors are classified into type I and type II receptors (10, 17). The biological activities of IL-1 are thought to be mediated by the type I receptor, whereas the type II receptor is thought to be a decoy receptor with a truncated nonsignaling intracellular domain (9). However, the type of receptor that is involved in sleep regulation had not heretofore been determined. Currently, it is not possible to differentiate the two types of IL-1 receptors using pharmacological methods. The presence of mutant mice lacking the IL-1 type I receptor provided an opportunity to study the receptor mechanisms of IL-1. These mutant mice develop normally with no apparent anomalies. It was therefore of interest to investigate sleep in these IL-1 type I receptor knockout (IL-1RI KO) mice.

In the present experiment, we determined spontaneous sleep and whether IL-1beta induces sleep in IL-1RI KO mice. We now report that the IL-1RI KO mice have slightly, but significantly, less sleep during the dark period than their strain controls and do not exhibit sleep responses after the administration of exogenous IL-1beta . In contrast, the IL-1RI KO mice do retain the ability to express excess NREMS if given TNF-alpha , another well characterized NREMS-promoting cytokine.

Animals. Adult male IL-1RI KO mice (n = 14; 86.71 ± 2.44 days old, weighing 30.84 ± 0.87 g), which have a B6x129 background (a cross between a 129 strain in which the IL-1RI gene was knocked out and C57BL/6 mice), and B6x129-F2 control mice (n = 14; 84.71 ± 2.76 days old, weighing 32.37 ± 1.1 g) were used in the experiments. The IL-1RI KO mice were obtained from Immunex (Seattle, WA). Control mice were purchased from Jackson Labs (Bar Harbor, MA). Mice were anesthetized with ketamine (25 mg/kg) and xylazine (25 mg/kg) and implanted with three electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes (Plastics One, Roanoke, VA) in the skull over the frontal and parietal cortices, and three electromyogram (EMG) electrodes in the muscles of the dorsal neck, respectively. The electrodes and the attached wires were fixed to the skull with dental cement. Ten to twenty days were allowed for the mice to recover from surgery. Mice were housed at 30 ± 1°C in separate recording cages in sound-attenuated environmental chambers with a 12:12-h light-dark cycle (lights on at 0500 and off at 1700).

Experimental protocol. Each mouse received one (400 ng; n = 6 for controls and n = 7 for IL-1RI KO) or two (25 and 100 ng; n = 8 for controls and n = 7 for IL-1RI KO) doses of recombinant murine IL-1beta (from R & D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) in a volume of 0.1 ml physiological saline by intraperitoneal injections. Each IL-1beta injection day was preceded by a saline injection day. When mice were tested with two doses, the lower dose (25 ng) was tested first and there were at least 3 days without any injection between the previous IL-1beta injection and the next saline injection. Two IL-1RI KO and one control mice lost their recording electrodes after IL-1beta injection. The data from these mice were only included in the analyses of baseline sleep data. In a separate experiment, IL-1RI KO mice (n = 7) were also injected intraperitoneally with saline on a control day and murine TNF-alpha (R & D Systems; 1 µg/mouse) on an experimental day. In all conditions, the injections were done at dark onset (1700).

Sleep recording. EEG and EMG were continuously recorded for 24 h after each injection. Sleep data were collected with a Grass polygraph (Grass Instruments, Quincy, MA). The EEG signals were amplified with a 7P5 wide band EEG preamplifier and a 7P-DA-G DC driver amplifier. The one-half cut-off for low and high frequencies was set at 0.5 and 35.0 Hz, respectively. The EMG signals were amplified with a 7P511J amplifier with one-half cut-off for low and high frequencies set at 100 and 10,000 Hz, respectively. The data collection was controlled by a 386 personal computer. The J6 output from the DC drivers or 7P511J amplifiers was fed into a 12-bit analog-to-digit (AD) converter (PC-30D, Omega Engineering, Stamford, CT). The AD converter digitized the EEG and EMG signals at 128 Hz. The digitized data were transferred to the computer memory and graphically displayed on the computer monitor. An on-line fast Fourier transformation (FFT) was performed on EEG data every 2 s. The FFT analyses generated power density values from 0.0 to 63.5 Hz at a 0.5-Hz resolution. The results of FFT were averaged for every 10 s. The sleep data and FFT results were saved to the hard disk for off-line analyses.

Sleep data were scored to determine behavioral states of the animals as previously described (18). After data collection, the EEG, EMG patterns, and FFT data were graphically displayed on the screen of a computer monitor for sleep scoring. The behavioral states were categorized visually according to the following criteria: wakefulness was identified by low-voltage and fast EEG waves and high-amplitude EMG; NREMS by high-voltage and low-frequency EEG and low-amplitude EMG; and rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) by low-voltage EEG with clear (6-10 Hz) theta activity and dramatic suppression of EMG with occasional muscle twitches. Sleep was scored in epochs of 10 s. The behavioral state assigned to each epoch was determined by the predominant state of the epoch. The number of epochs for wakefulness, NREMS, and REMS was calculated by a computer program based on the criterion that the minimal episode length for each state should last at least 30 s.

The FFT data were sorted by a computer program according to the scoring results. The epochs containing movement artifacts were excluded from analyses. The total power in each 5-Hz frequency band was summed for each 10-s epoch and then averaged for every 6 h. Results from the 0.5- to 5.0-Hz frequency band are presented; these results are referred to as EEG slow-wave activity (SWA). Since the EEG amplitude was subject to the influences of subtle variations of EEG electrode placement, the average power during NREMS on each saline injection day was normalized to 100. The relative changes of EEG power from the baseline were calculated for data collected after IL-1beta or TNF-alpha treatment.

Statistical analyses. Sleep and EEG spectrum data were analyzed with two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures and followed by Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) multiple comparison test. In all conditions, the level of statistical significance was set at P less than or equal to 0.05.

Abnormal behaviors in IL-1RI KO mice were not apparent, although the behaviors were not systematically measured except for sleep and waking states. The EEG patterns in IL-1RI KO mice were also normal and did not differ from those of the control mice. Both control and IL-1RI KO mice had clear circadian variations of EEG SWA: increasing during the dark period and decreasing during the light period (Fig. 1).

Each data point represents a 2-h average. Values for NREMS and REMS are expressed as % of time in each of these states. EEG SWA data were normalized using the average of EEG SWA during the 24-h period as 100. Vertical bars indicate SEs. Black bar at bottom indicates dark period. Sleep and EEG SWA in both control and IL-1RI KO mice have clear circadian rhythms. IL-1RI KO mice have significantly less NREMS compared with controls during dark period (see details in text).

NREMS was decreased in the IL-1RI KO mice compared with the control mice during the dark period [260.81 vs. 299.13 min; F(1,26) = 9.14, P < 0.01 for group and time interaction; q(2,26) = 3.558, P < 0.05], but not the light period (Fig. 1). The reduction of NREMS in IL-1RI KO mice was more pronounced during the first half of the dark period (137.43 vs. 108.25 min) than during the second half (161.70 vs. 152.56 min). REMS was not significantly different between groups.

In control mice, IL-1beta dose dependently increased NREMS and suppressed REMS (Fig. 2). IL-1beta had no effect on sleep at the 25-ng dose and increased NREMS at 100-ng [F(1,6) = 20.3, P < 0.005] and 400-ng [F(1,5) = 11.02, P < 0.025] doses. The effects of IL-1beta on NREMS were time dependent, primarily found during the first 6 h after injection. NREMS was increased after 100 ng IL-1beta [126.62 vs. 193.29 min; F(3,18) = 11.5, P < 0.0002 for treatment and time interaction; q(4,18) = 10.062, P < 0.05] and after 400 ng IL-1beta [148.64 vs. 265.97 min; F(3,15) = 56.81, P < 0.0001 for treatment and time interaction; q(8,15) = 15.87, P < 0.01] during the first 6 h after injections. REMS was significantly decreased by 100 ng [15.29 vs. 9.57 min; F(1,6) = 8.013, P < 0.03] and 400 ng IL-1beta [14.72 vs. 3.86 min; F(1,5) = 516.65, P < 0.0001] during the first 6 h after injections. EEG SWA was significantly decreased after 400 ng IL-1beta [F(1,5) = 6.86, P < 0.05 for treatment effects], but not after 25 or 100 ng IL-1beta . The decrease of EEG SWA was primarily found during the first few hours after IL-1beta injection [Fig. 2; F(3,15) = 3.88, P < 0.05 for treatment and time interaction; q(5, 15) = 5.632, P < 0.05 for the first 6-h period].

Each data point represents a 2-h average. The EEG SWA data were normalized using the average of EEG SWA during the 24-h period after saline injection as 100. Vertical bars indicate SEs. Black bars at bottom indicate dark period. IL-1beta at 100- and 400-ng doses significantly increased NREMS in control mice but not the IL-1RI KO mice (see text for details of statistics).

Unlike the control mice, IL-1RI KO mice did not change sleep or EEG SWA parameters after 25, 100, or 400 ng IL-1beta (Fig. 2), except that REMS was slightly increased after 25 ng IL-1beta [107.56 vs. 119.23 min; F(1,4) = 8.541, P < 0.05]. In contrast, IL-1RI KO mice had robust increases in NREMS after 1 µg TNF-alpha (Fig. 3) during the first 6 h after injection [99.95 vs. 170.76 min; F(3,18) = 18.3, P < 0.0001 for treatment and time interaction; q(4,18) = 11.596, P < 0.01] and during the 24-h period after injection [601.66 vs. 684.00 min; F(1,6) = 17.8, P < 0.01]. The same dose of TNF-alpha also caused a slight suppression of REMS during the 24-h period after injection [103.35 vs. 92.51 min; F(1,6) = 6.48, P < 0.05].

The IL-1RI KO mice sleep less during the dark period than their strain controls; this observation is consistent with our previous observations that inhibition of endogenous IL-1 activity with anti-IL-1beta antibody or IL-1 soluble receptor inhibits spontaneous sleep (36, 46). Current observations thus provide further evidence to support the idea that endogenous IL-1 is involved in physiological sleep regulation. However, the present result must be interpreted with great caution. The B6x129-F2 mice were chosen as a control strain since this strain was the background on which the IL-1RI KO mice were developed. However, the genetic mix produced when selecting for a knockout strain is different from a random mix produced by crossing two lines (21). Therefore, we cannot exclude the possibility that the observed sleep differences might be due to the alterations of other unknown factors during the development of the IL-1R KO mice. In addition, the consequence of permanent loss of the IL-1RI gene from the beginning of the development might be very different from the results of temporal suppression of IL-1beta activity, since the animals might have developed compensatory mechanisms for the loss of IL-1RI. Although we did not observe a reduction of sleep in IL-1RI KO mice compared with control mice during the light period in the present study, temporal inhibition of endogenous IL-1beta with anti-IL-1beta antibodies indeed reduces spontaneous sleep and sleep rebound after sleep deprivation during the light period in rats (36), another nocturnal species. Furthermore, the IL-1beta mRNA levels in rat brain vary with circadian rhythm, being highest in the beginning of light period (44). These observations suggest that compensation for the loss of the IL-1 receptor exists during the light period in IL-1RI KO mice.

Although abundant evidence indicates that IL-1beta is an important humoral agent involved in sleep regulation, the receptor mechanism for its sleep-promoting effects was unknown. The present results show that IL-1beta dose dependently increased NREMS and suppressed REMS in control mice. In contrast, the only effect of IL-1beta on sleep in IL-1RI KO mice was a slight increase in REMS at a 25-ng dose at P < 0.05 level. Given the small difference, the level of significance, and the number of statistical tests in the study, it is likely that this effect was purely due to chance.

Current observations provide strong evidence that the type I, but not type II, IL-1 receptor, is involved in the sleep alterations induced by IL-1beta . The involvement of the type I receptor in sleep regulation is consistent with the current thinking that the type I receptor is the functional IL-1 receptor, whereas the type II receptor is a decoy receptor (9). The major IL-1 receptor found in the brain is the type I receptor (3, 17, 47). The IL-1 type I receptor messenger RNA is also found in the brain (11, 41, 50).

An increase in EEG SWA is usually considered an indication of increased sleep intensity primarily because EEG SWA increases during the sleep following sleep deprivation (5, 7). Indeed, that IL-1beta enhances EEG SWA in rats and rabbits after intracerebroventricular or intravenous injections provides some evidence implicating IL-1beta in physiological sleep regulation. However, the effects of IL-1beta on EEG SWA depend on the route of administration and doses of IL-1beta . In rats intraperitoneal injection of IL-1beta (Hansen et al., unpublished observations) induces decreases in EEG SWA and increases in duration of NREMS; in contrast, intracerebroventricular injection of IL-1beta increases both parameters. High doses of IL-1beta inhibit EEG SWA in mice (19) and rats (38). In the present study, the high dose (400 ng) of IL-1beta also decreased EEG SWA. Furthermore, Lancel and co-workers (28) observed that NREMS is increased by IL-1beta administered at the beginning of both rest and active phases of rats, but EEG SWA is increased by IL-1beta administered at the beginning of the rest phase. These observations suggest that the effects of IL-1beta on NREMS and EEG SWA activity can be dissociated. It is unknown how IL-1beta induces changes in EEG SWA. There are complex interactions between IL-1beta and classic neurotransmitters and humoral factors. Previously, we also showed that IL-1beta induces the release of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), another well characterized sleep-promoting substance that also enhances sleep and EEG SWA (35). Pretreatment of rats with anti-GHRH antibodies inhibits IL-1beta -induced enhancements of NREMS and EEG SWA (34). IL-1beta also enhances the functions of gamma -aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter involved in sleep regulation, by increasing GABAA receptor-mediated increases in chloride permeability in mouse cortical synaptic preparations (31, 32). It is known that activation of GABAA receptors results in the suppression of EEG SWA and increases in EEG power at higher frequencies in humans (1, 6, 8). Intraperitoneal administration of IL-1beta also increases the turnover rates of brain norepinephrine (NE) in rats (42, 48) and mice (14, 15); activation of brain NE systems is known to suppress EEG SWA (4). It is possible that the enhancing and suppressing effects of IL-1beta on EEG SWA are mediated by different molecular pathways.

It is well known that sleep is regulated by multiple substances (reviewed in Ref. 25). Furthermore, the effects of a single substance on sleep may also involve parallel and/or serial actions on multiple molecules. It is known that IL-1beta induces (22, 40) and is induced by (2, 13) TNF-alpha , another well-characterized sleep-promoting substance (reviewed in Ref. 25). The present experiment showed that TNF-alpha induces robust increases in NREMS in IL-1RI KO mice. This indicates that the actions of IL-1 on its type I receptor are not required for sleep induced by TNF-alpha . It is also unlikely that TNF-alpha -induced sleep is mediated by IL-1 via its action on the type II receptor, since the present results indicate that the type II receptor is not involved in the sleep-promoting effects of IL-1beta . Taken together, our results suggest that TNF-alpha is capable of inducing sleep without the involvement of IL-1beta . Previously, we also observed that IL-1beta induces sleep in TNF 55-kDa receptor knockout mice, a result indicating that the effects of IL-1beta on sleep are independent of TNF-alpha (19). However, these observations do not exclude the possibility that IL-1beta and TNF-alpha may interact with each other to promote sleep in normal animals or in other situations, such as during infectious disease.

In summary, our results provide evidence that 1) IL-1beta is involved in sleep regulation; 2) the effects of IL-1beta on sleep are mediated by the type I receptor; and 3) TNF-alpha is capable of inducing sleep without the involvement of IL-1beta .
