title: Time of day differences in the number of cytokine-, neurotrophin- and NeuN-immunoreactive cells in the rat somatosensory or visual cortex.
abstract: Sensory input to different cortical areas differentially varies across the light-dark cycle and likely is responsible, in part, for activity-dependent changes in time-of-day differences in protein expression such as Fos. In this study we investigate time-of-day differences between dark (just before light onset) and light (just before dark onset) for the number of immunoreactive (IR) neurons that stained for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL1 beta), nerve growth factor (NGF), the neuronal nuclear protein (NeuN) and Fos in the rat somatosensory cortex (Sctx) and visual cortex (Vctx). Additionally, astrocyte IL1 beta-IR in the Sctx and Vctx was determined. TNFalpha and IL1 beta, as well as the immediate early gene protein Fos, were higher at the end of the dark phase (2300 h) compared to values obtained at the end of the light phase (1100 h) in the Sctx and Vctx. IL1 beta-IR in Sctx and Vctx astrocytes was higher at 2300 h than that observed at 1100 h. . In contrast, the number of NGF-IR neurons was higher in the Vctx than in the Sctx but did not differ in time. However, the density of the NGF-IR neurons in layer V was greater at 2300 h in the Sctx than at 1100 h. NeuN-IR was higher at 2300 h in the Sctx but was lower at this time in the Vctx compared to 1100 h. These data demonstrate that expressions of the molecules examined are dependent on activity, the sleep-wake cycle and brain location. These factors interact to modulate time-of-day expression.
