ABSTRACTWe recently demonstrated that the role of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a ubiquitously expressed enzyme that governs cell-autonomous metabolic homeostasis, has been extended to system-level control of breathing and thus oxygen and energy (ATP) supply to the body. Here we assess the contribution to the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) of two upstream kinases that govern the activities of AMPK. Lkb1, which activates AMPK in response to metabolic stress and CaMKK2 which mediates the alternative Ca2+-dependent mechanism of AMPK activation. HVRs remained unaffected in mice with global deletion of the CaMKK2 gene. By contrast, HVRs were markedly attenuated in mice with conditional deletion of LKB1 in catecholaminergic cells, including carotid body type I cells and brainstem respiratory networks. In these mice hypoxia evoked hypoventilation, apnoea and Cheyne-Stokes-like breathing, rather than hyperventilation. Attenuation of HVRs, albeit less severe, was also conferred in mice carrying ∼90% knockdown of Lkb1 expression. Carotid body afferent input responses were retained following either ∼90% knockdown of Lkb1 or AMPK deletion. In marked contrast, LKB1 deletion virtually abolished carotid body afferent discharge during normoxia, hypoxia and hypercapnia. We conclude that Lkb1 and AMPK, but not CaMKK2, facilitate HVRs at a site downstream of the carotid bodies.

Animal studies suggest that the neuropeptides, substance P and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), may influence carotid body chemoreceptor activity and that substance P may take part in the carotid body response to hypoxia. The effects of these peptides on resting ventilation and on ventilatory responses to hypoxia and to hypercapnia have been investigated in six normal humans. Infusions of substance P (1 pmol.kg-1.min-1) and of VIP (6 pmol.kg-1.min-1) were compared with placebo and with nitroprusside (5 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) as a control for the hypotensive action of the peptides. Both peptides caused significantly less hypotension than nitroprusside. Substance P and nitroprusside caused significantly greater increases in ventilation and in the hypoxic ventilatory response than VIP. No changes were seen in hypercapnic sensitivity. The stimulation of ventilation and the differential effects on ventilatory chemosensitivity that accompanied hypotension are consistent either with stimulation of carotid body chemoreceptor activity or with an interaction with peripheral chemoreceptor input to the respiratory center, as is seen in animals. The similar cardiovascular but different ventilatory effects of the peptides suggest that substance P may also stimulate the carotid body in a manner independent of the effect of hypotension. This is consistent with a role of substance P in the hypoxic ventilatory response in humans.

Prolonged exposure to hypoxia is accompanied by decreased hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR), but the relative importance of peripheral and central mechanisms of this hypoxic desensitization remain unclear. To determine whether the hypoxic sensitivity of peripheral chemoreceptors decreases during chronic hypoxia, we measured ventilatory and carotid sinus nerve (CSN) responses to isocapnic hypoxia in five cats exposed to simulated altitude of 5,500 m (barometric pressure 375 Torr) for 3-4 wk. Exposure to 3-4 wk of hypobaric hypoxia produced a decrease in HVR, measured as the shape parameter A in cats both awake (from 53.9 +/- 10.1 to 14.8 +/- 1.8; P less than 0.05) and anesthetized (from 50.2 +/- 8.2 to 8.5 +/- 1.8; P less than 0.05). Sustained hypoxic exposure decreased end-tidal CO2 tension (PETCO2, 33.3 +/- 1.2 to 28.1 +/- 1.3 Torr) during room-air breathing in awake cats. To determine whether hypocapnia contributed to the observed depression in HVR, we also measured eucapnic HVR (PETCO2 33.3 +/- 0.9 Torr) and found that HVR after hypoxic exposure remained lower than preexposed value (A = 17.4 +/- 4.2 vs. 53.9 +/- 10.1 in awake cats; P less than 0.05). A control group (n = 5) was selected for hypoxic ventilatory response matched to the baseline measurements of the experimental group. The decreased HVR after hypoxic exposure was associated with a parallel decrease in the carotid body response to hypoxia (A = 20.6 +/- 4.8) compared with that of control cats (A = 46.9 +/- 6.3; P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Ventilatory Response To Hypoxia

Pregnancy increases ventilation and ventilatory sensitivity to hypoxia and hypercapnia. To determine the role of the carotid body in the increased hypoxic ventilatory response, we measured ventilation and carotid body neural output (CBNO) during progressive isocapnic hypoxia in 15 anesthetized near-term pregnant cats and 15 nonpregnant females. The pregnant compared with nonpregnant cats had greater room-air ventilation [1.48 +/- 0.24 vs. 0.45 +/- 0.05 (SE) l/min BTPS, P less than 0.01], O2 consumption (29 +/- 2 vs. 19 +/- 1 ml/min STPD, P less than 0.01), and lower end-tidal PCO2 (30 +/- 1 vs. 35 +/- 1 Torr, P less than 0.01). Lower end-tidal CO2 tensions were also observed in seven awake pregnant compared with seven awake nonpregnant cats (28 +/- 1 vs. 31 +/- 1 Torr, P less than 0.05). The ventilatory response to hypoxia as measured by the shape of parameter A was twofold greater (38 +/- 5 vs. 17 +/- 3, P less than 0.01) in the anesthetized pregnant compared with nonpregnant cats, and the CBNO response to hypoxia was also increased twofold (58 +/- 11 vs. 29 +/- 5, P less than 0.05). The increased CBNO response to hypoxia in the pregnant compared with the nonpregnant cats persisted after cutting the carotid sinus nerve while recording from the distal end, indicating that the increased hypoxic sensitivity was not due to descending central neural influences. We concluded that greater carotid body sensitivity to hypoxia contributed to the increased hypoxic ventilatory responsiveness observed in pregnant cats.

Mechanisms of ventilatory acclimatization to chronic hypoxia remain unclear. To determine whether the sensitivity of peripheral chemoreceptors to hypoxia increases during acclimatization, we measured ventilatory and carotid sinus nerve responses to isocapnic hypoxia in seven cats exposed to simulated altitude of 15,000 ft (barometric pressure = 440 Torr) for 48 h. A control group (n = 7) was selected for hypoxic ventilatory responses matched to the preacclimatized measurements of the experimental group. Exposure to 48 h of hypobaric hypoxia produced acclimatization manifested as decrease in end-tidal PCO2 (PETCO2) in normoxia (34.5 +/- 0.9 Torr before, 28.9 +/- 1.2 after the exposure) as well as in hypoxia (28.1 +/- 1.9 Torr before, 21.8 +/- 1.9 after). Acclimatization produced an increase in hypoxic ventilatory response, measured as the shape parameter A (24.9 +/- 2.6 before, 35.2 +/- 5.6 after; P less than 0.05), whereas values in controls remained unchanged (25.7 +/- 3.2 and 23.1 +/- 2.7; NS). Hypoxic exposure was associated with an increase in the carotid body response to hypoxia, similarly measured as the shape parameter A (24.2 +/- 4.7 in control, 44.5 +/- 8.2 in acclimatized cats). We also found an increased dependency of ventilation on carotid body function (PETCO2 increased after unilateral section of carotid sinus nerve in acclimatized but not in control animals). These results suggest that acclimatization is associated with increased hypoxic ventilatory response accompanied by enhanced peripheral chemoreceptor responsiveness, which may contribute to the attendant rise in ventilation.

Dopamine Content

In a previous study, we showed that the acute hypoxic ventilatory response was blunted in anesthetized chronically hypoxic rats and was restored by blockade of the dopamine D2 receptor with domperidone. We now report observations made during 1–8 days of exposure to 10% O2 on the acute hypoxic ventilatory response and the effect of domperidone and relate them to dopamine content and cellular proliferation in the carotid body. Hypoxic exposure caused a parallel shift in the hypoxic response curve to higher levels of ventilation and arterial oxygen saturation. The greatest response occurred on day 1 and was unaffected by domperidone: dopamine content diminished and mitotic activity increased. By 8 days, hypoxic ventilation approached normal and was significantly augmented by domperidone; in the carotid body, dopamine levels had risen above the control level and mitoses had diminished. Thus the increase in ventilation was inversely related to carotid body dopamine content, which was depressed. The possibility of a causal relationship is discussed.

Ventilatory Response To Hypoxia

Steplike end-tidal hypoxic drives (Petcoco2, = 53 Torr) lasting for 5 min were generated in a group of normal subjects and a group of carotid body-resected subjects when end-tidal CO2, was maintained constant under eucapnic (Petcoco2 = 39 Torr) and hypercapnic (Petcoco2 = 49 Torr) conditions. The hypoxic ventilatory response of the normal subjects was prompt and significant in eucapnia and was enhanced in the hypercapnic state, evidencing CO2-O2 interaction. In contrast, the carotid body-resected subjects did not respond to eucapnic hypoxia but did demonstrate a small but significant ventilatory response to hypoxia against the hypercapnic background. This suggests that the aortic bodies in man may contribute a small component of the hypoxic ventilatory drive under hypercapnic conditions, although the possibility of neuromalike ending regeneration cannot be excluded.

Background The effects of inhalational anesthetics on the hypoxic ventilatory response are complex. This study was designed to determine the contribution of peripheral chemoreception to the depression of hypoxic ventilatory response seen with halothane anesthesia. Methods Cats were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium and alpha-chloralose and artificially ventilated. Respiratory output was evaluated by phasic inspiratory activity of the phrenic nerve. In 12 cats, this activity was measured during inhalation of an hypoxic gas mixture with halothane, 0, 0.1, and 0.8%, with intact or denervated carotid bodies. In 10 cats, a carotid body was isolated from the systemic circulation and perfused with hypoxic Krebs-Ringer solution equilibrated with halothane, 0, 0.1, and 0.8%. Results The hypoxic ventilatory response was depressed in a dose-dependent manner during halothane anesthesia. In carotid body perfusion studies, the response was significantly depressed only with halothane, 0.80%. Conclusion The hypoxic ventilatory response is depressed by a high dose of halothane through a peripheral effect at the carotid body.
