Abstract

Background: Rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep deprivation (SD) can induce manic-like behaviors in rodents. On the other hand, lithium, as one of the oldest drugs used in neuropsychiatric disorders, is still one of the best drugs for the treatment and control of bipolar disorder. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of chronic short-term REM SD in the induction of manic-like behaviors in female rats. Methods: The rats were exposed to REM SD for 14 days (6 hours/day). Lithium was intraperitoneally injected at the doses of 10, 50, and 100 mg/kg. Results: REM SD induced hyperactivity and OCD-like behavior, and decreased anxiety, depressive-like behavior, and pain subthreshold. REM SD also impaired passive avoidance memory and decreased hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression level. Lithium at the doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg partly and completely abolished these effects, respectively. However, lithium (100 mg/kg) increased BDNF expression level in control and sham REM SD rats with no significant changes in behavior. Conclusions: Chronic short-term REM SD may induce a mania-like model and lead to OCD-like behavior and irritability. In the present study, we demonstrated a putative rodent model of mania induced by chronic REM SD in female rats. We suggest that future studies should examine behavioral and mood changes following chronic REM SD in both sexes. Furthermore, the relationship between manic-like behaviors and chronic REM SD should be investigated. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.
