Abstrakt: Sleep deprivation (SD) has been reported to have a negative impact on cognitive function. Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) shows certain effects in improving sleep and neurological diseases, and its molecular or cellular role in SD-induced cognition impairment still need further exploration. In this study, C57BL/6 mice were subjected to 48 h of SD and cTBS treatment, and cTBS treatment significantly improved SD-triggered impairment of spatial learning and memory abilities in mice. Additionally, cTBS reduced malondialdehyde levels, increased superoxide dismutase activities, and inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines, alleviating oxidative stress and inflammation levels in hippocampal tissues of SD model mice. cTBS decreased LC3II/LC3I ratio, Beclin1 protein levels, and LC3B puncta intensity, and elevated p62 protein levels to suppress excessive autophagy in hippocampal tissues of SD-stimulated mice. Then, we proved that inhibiting oxidative stress alleviated inflammation, autophagy, and death of hippocampal neuron cells through an in vitro cellular model for oxidative stress, and cTBS treatment promoted the production of glutathione (GSH), the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and the mRNA expression of GSH synthesis-related genes to enhance antioxidant capacity in hippocampal tissues of SD mice. An Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 or a GSH synthesis inhibitor BSO reversed the alleviating effects of cTBS treatment on oxidative stress-associated damage of hippocampal tissues and cognitive impairment in SD model mice. Altogether, our study demonstrated that cTBS mitigates oxidative stress-associated inflammation and autophagy through activating the Nrf2-mediated GSH synthesis pathway, improving cognitive impairment in SD mice.
