Furthermore, our previous studies showed that histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT), a histamine-metabolizing enzyme, is important for regulating brain histamine concentration. However, the effects of pharmacological HNMT inhibition on mouse behavior, including the sleep-wake cycle and cataplexy, in a mouse model of narcolepsy have not yet been investigated. In the present study, we investigated the effects of metoprine, an HNMT inhibitor with high blood-brain barrier permeability, in wild-type (WT) and orexin-deficient (OxKO) narcoleptic mice. Metoprine increased brain histamine concentration in a time- and dose-dependent manner without affecting peripheral histamine concentrations. Behavioral tests showed that metoprine increased locomotor activity in both novel and familiar environments, but did not alter anxiety-like behavior. Sleep analysis showed that metoprine increased wakefulness and decreased non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep through the activation of the histamine H1 receptor (H1R) in WT mice. In contrast, the reduction of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep by metoprine occurred independent of H1R. In OxKO mice, metoprine was found to prolong wakefulness and robustly suppress cataplexy. In addition, metoprine has a greater therapeutic effect on cataplexy than pitolisant, which induces histamine release in the brain and has been approved for patients with narcolepsy. These data demonstrate that HNMT inhibition has a strong effect on wakefulness, demonstrating therapeutic potential against cataplexy in narcolepsy.</p>","PeriodicalId":22018,"journal":{"name":"Sleep","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142508307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing data from The 2004 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort, sleep time window and sleep efficiency were measured at the 11-year-old follow-up using ActiGraph accelerometers. Three sleep PGSs were developed based on the most recent genome-wide association study of accelerometer-based sleep measures. PRSet, calculated using variants linked to body mass index (BMI) and plasmatic cortisol concentration, aimed to assess pleiotropic effects. Linear regression models, adjusted for sex and the first 10 principal components of ancestry, were employed to explore the impact of sleep PGS and specific-PRSet on sleep phenotypes. The number of nocturnal sleep episodes-PGS was positively associated with sleep time window (β = 2.306, SE: 0.92, p = .011).

Sleep polygenetic components observed in European adults may partially explain the accelerometer-based sleep time window in Brazilian adolescents.
