    Abstract We present a protocol for inducing a hibernation-like state in free-moving mice using optogenetics. We have recently developed an optogenetic technique utilizing modified Opsin4, which is activated by weak blue light, resulting in prolonged neuronal excitation. We describe a protocol that includes detailed instructions for virus injection, implantation of optic fibers and temperature transmitters, photostimulation, and real-time recording of body temperature in mice. This method is valuable for investigating the mechanisms underlying torpor and thermoregulation in mice. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Takahashi et al.

    Abstract Aging disrupts circadian clocks, as evidenced by a reduction in the amplitude of circadian rhythms. Because the circadian clock strongly influences sleep-wake behavior in mammals, age-related alterations in sleep-wake patterns may be attributable, at least partly, to functional changes in the circadian clock. However, the effect of aging on the circadian characteristics of sleep architecture has not been well assessed, as circadian behaviors are usually evaluated through long-term behavioral recording with wheel-running or infrared sensors. In this study, we examined age-related changes in circadian sleep-wake behavior using circadian components extracted from electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) data. EEG and EMG were recorded from 12 to 17-week-old and 78 to 83-week-old mice for 3 days under light/dark and constant dark conditions. We analyzed time-dependent changes in the duration of sleep. Rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep significantly increased during the night phase in old mice, whereas no significant change was observed during the light phase. The circadian components were then extracted from the EEG data for each sleep-wake stage, revealing that the circadian rhythm in the power of delta waves during NREM sleep was attenuated and delayed in old mice. Furthermore, we used machine learning to evaluate the phase of the circadian rhythm, with EEG data serving as the input and the phase of the sleep-wake rhythm (environmental time) as the output. The results indicated that the output time for the old mice data tended to be delayed, specifically at night. These results indicate that the aging process significantly impacts the circadian rhythm in the EEG power spectrum despite the circadian rhythm in the amounts of sleep and wake attenuated but still remaining in old mice. Moreover, EEG/EMG analysis is useful not only for evaluating sleep-wake stages but also for circadian rhythms in the brain.

    Abstract The AP-2 transcription factors are crucial for regulating sleep in both vertebrate and invertebrate animals. In mice, loss of function of the transcription factor AP-2β (TFAP2B) reduces non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. When and where TFAP2B functions, however, is unclear. Here, we used the Cre-loxP system to generate mice in which Tfap2b was specifically deleted in the nervous system during development and mice in which neuronal Tfap2b was specifically deleted postnatally. Both types of mice exhibited reduced NREM sleep, but the nervous system-specific deletion of Tfap2b resulted in more severe sleep phenotypes accompanied by defective light entrainment of the circadian clock and stereotypic jumping behavior. These findings indicate that TFAP2B in postnatal neurons functions at least partly in sleep regulation and imply that TFAP2B also functions either at earlier stages or in additional cell types within the nervous system.

    Abstract Entrainment is characterized by phase response curves (PRCs), which provide a summary of responses to perturbations at each circadian phase. The synchronization of mammalian circadian clocks is accomplished through the receipt of a variety of inputs from both internal and external time cues. A comprehensive comparison of PRCs for various stimuli in each tissue is required. Herein, we demonstrate that PRCs in mammalian cells can be characterized using a recently developed estimation method based on singularity response (SR), which represents the response of desynchronized cellular clocks. We confirmed that PRCs can be reconstructed using single SR measurements and quantified response properties for various stimuli in several cell lines. SR analysis reveals that the phase and amplitude after resetting are distinguishable among stimuli. SRs in tissue slice cultures reveal tissue-specific entrainment properties. These results demonstrate that SRs can be employed to unveil entrainment mechanisms with diverse stimuli in multiscale mammalian clocks.

    Abstract Many patients with psychiatric conditions, such as bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, frequently experience disruptions in their sleep-wake cycles. Several case studies and clinical trials have shown that the administration of aripiprazole, a commonly prescribed antipsychotic drug, alleviates the symptoms of circadian sleep disorders in these patients. This improvement may be attributed to the effects of aripiprazole on the circadian central clock, specifically the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which regulates various circadian physiological rhythms, including the sleep-wake cycle, in mammals. To examine whether aripiprazole facilitates adaptation to changes in the light-dark cycle, we orally administered aripiprazole to mice and subjected them to jet-lag experiments. Mice receiving aripiprazole were more rapidly entrained to 6 h advanced light-dark cycles. Moreover, we examined the effect of aripiprazole on the cellular rhythms of SCN slice cultures and found that aripiprazole disrupted cellular synchronization in the SCN, thereby accelerating the damping of the SCN rhythm at the population level. Adenosine 3'5' monophosphate (cAMP) assay using a bioluminescence indicator revealed that intracellular cAMP level in the SCN increased following aripiprazole treatment. However, this increase was blocked by pre-treatment with the serotonin 1A receptor (5-HT

    Abstract Endogenous biological rhythms with approximately 24-h periodicity are generated by the circadian clock, in which clock genes coordinate with one another and form a transcriptional-translational negative feedback loop. The precision of the circadian clock is further regulated by multiple post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, acetylation and SUMOylation. Here, we review current understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of the core clock proteins by PTMs in the mammalian circadian clock.
