Abstract

A rather large portion of the population is sleep restricted in modern society, either by necessity or by choice. Epidemiological studies have observed that lack of sleep and poor sleep quality are associated with several pathological states, ranging from neuropsychiatric to metabolic diseases. To date, only a few studies have investigated the molecular consequences of sleep loss at the level of peripheral organs involved in maintaining metabolic homeostasis such as the white adipose tissue (WAT). From a molecular point of view, two key transcriptional regulators of WAT function are sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors gamma (PPARγ). Both genes interact with specific targets involved in multiple metabolic processes, including adipocyte differentiation, browning and lipid metabolism. In this study, we assessed the effects of chronic sleep restriction (CSR) on the interplay between SIRT1 and PPARγ in mediating WAT metabolism in young adult mice. We found that CSR up-regulated expression of SIRT1 and some of its transcriptional targets involved in lipid metabolism and mitochondrial functions of adipocytes. Results suggest that CSR induces SIRT1-mediated metabolic remodeling of WAT to support an increased energy demand due to sleep loss.
