Abstract
ABSTRACT Background Insufficient sleep is a serious public health epidemic in modern society, impairing memory and other cognitive functions. In this study, partial sleep deprivation (SD) was used to induce cognitive impairment in mice to determine the effects of probiotics on subsequent cognitive deficits. Methods Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Lp-115 (Lp-115), Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Lpc-37 (Lpc-37), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis 420 (B420) and their combination were administered to mice subjected to partial SD and compared with non-SD and SD vehicle groups. Mice were administered a daily oral gavage containing either 1 × 109 colony forming units (CFU) of single-strain, 1.5 × 109 CFU of multi-strain (5 × 108 CFU/strain), or vehicle for thirty days prior to and for nine days during a behavioural test paradigm. The novel object recognition (NOR) test, spontaneous alternation Y-maze (Y-maze), and the step-through passive avoidance (STPA) task were applied to evaluate learning and memory performance following partial SD. Results Partial SD had a significant impact on cognitive function in vehicle mice. Intervention with Lpc-37 significantly improved recognition memory deficits in the NOR test, spatial working memory deficits in the Y-maze, and contextual long-term memory impairments in the STPA task, in mice subjected to partial SD compared to the SD vehicle group. The multi-strain significantly improved recognition memory deficits in the NOR test and spatial working memory deficits in the Y-maze in mice subjected to partial SD compared to the SD vehicle group. Conclusions These findings demonstrate that Lpc-37 and the multi-strain may play a role in alleviating memory impairments and improve cognitive function in partially sleep-deprived mice.
