Sleep is a complex behavior regulated by various brain cell types. However, the roles of brain-resident macrophages, including microglia and CNS-associated macrophages (CAMs), particularly those derived postnatally, in sleep regulation remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the effects of resident (embryo-derived) and repopulated (postnatally derived) brain-resident macrophages on the regulation of vigilance states in mice. We found that depletion in resident brain macrophages caused increased sleep in the active period, but reduced its quality, reflected in reduced power of brain sleep oscillations. This was observed both for the Non-REM and REM sleep stages. Subsequent repopulation by postnatal brain macrophages resulted in altered, but not fully restored, sleep-wake patterns and additionally induced sleep fragmentation. Furthermore, brain macrophage depletion caused excitatory-inhibitory synaptic imbalance, which was resistant to repopulation, and led to increased inhibitory synapses. At the metabolite level, the distinct metabolite profile induced by brain macrophage depletion largely returned to normal after repopulation. Our findings suggest a so far largely unknown interaction between brain-resident macrophages and sleep and highlight functional differences between resident and postnatally-derived repopulated brain macrophages, paving the way to future exploration of the role of brain macrophages of different origin in sleep disorders and synaptic connectivity.
