Sleep deprivation affects the structure and respiratory function of mitochondria, with more significant changes observed in the hippocampus. Quantifying these structural reorganizations using morphometric parameters can provide insights into the effects of sleep deprivation on mitochondrial inner membrane architecture and respiratory functions in different brain regions.
Sleep deprivation has profound influence on several aspects of health and disease. Mitochondria dysfunction has been implicated to play an essential role in the neuronal cellular damage induced by sleep deprivation, but little is known about how neuronal mitochondrial ultrastructure is affected under sleep deprivation. In this report, we utilized electron cryo-tomography to reconstruct the three-dimensional (3-D) mitochondrial structure and extracted morphometric parameters to quantitatively characterize its reorganizations. Isolated mitochondria from the hippocampus and cerebral cortex of adult male Sprague-Dawley rats after 72 h of paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD) were reconstructed and analyzed. Statistical analysis of six morphometric parameters specific to the mitochondrial inner membrane topology revealed identical pattern of changes in both the hippocampus and cerebral cortex but with higher significance levels in the hippocampus. The structural differences were indistinguishable by conventional phenotypic methods based on two-dimensional electron microscopy images or 3-D electron tomography reconstructions. Furthermore, to correlate structure alterations with mitochondrial functions, high-resolution respirometry was employed to investigate the effects of PSD on mitochondrial respiration, which showed that PSD significantly suppressed the mitochondrial respiratory capacity of the hippocampus, whereas the isolated mitochondria from the cerebral cortex were less affected. These results demonstrate the capability of the morphometric parameters for quantifying complex structural reorganizations and suggest a correlation between PSD and inner membrane architecture/respiratory functions of the brain mitochondria with variable effects in different brain regions.
