Bilateral carotid sinus nerve transection exacerbates morphine-induced respiratory depression. Eur J Pharmacol 2018; 834:17-29. [PMID: 30012498 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2018.07.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2017] [Revised: 07/06/2018] [Accepted: 07/12/2018] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) involves decreased sensitivity of ventilatory control systems to decreased blood levels of oxygen (hypoxia) and elevated levels of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia). Understanding the sites and mechanisms by which opioids elicit respiratory depression is pivotal for finding novel therapeutics to prevent and/or reverse OIRD. To examine the contribution of carotid body chemoreceptors OIRD, we used whole-body plethysmography to evaluate hypoxic (HVR) and hypercapnic (HCVR) ventilatory responses including changes in frequency of breathing, tidal volume, minute ventilation and inspiratory drive, after intravenous injection of morphine (10 mg/kg) in sham-operated (SHAM) and in bilateral carotid sinus nerve transected (CSNX) Sprague-Dawley rats. In SHAM rats, morphine produced sustained respiratory depression (e.g., decreases in tidal volume, minute ventilation and inspiratory drive) and reduced the HVR and HCVR responses. Unexpectedly, morphine-induced suppression of HVR and HCVR were substantially greater in CSNX rats than in SHAM rats. This suggests that morphine did not compromise the function of the carotid body-chemoafferent complex and indeed, that the carotid body acts to defend against morphine-induced respiratory depression. These data are the first in vivo evidence that carotid body chemoreceptor afferents defend against rather than participate in OIRD in conscious rats. As such, drugs that stimulate ventilation by targeting primary glomus cells and/or chemoafferent terminals in the carotid bodies may help to alleviate OIRD.

Abstract
The known effects of drugs from a variety of pharmacological/therapeutic classes on the respiratory system, the life-threatening consequences of respiratory dysfunction, and world-wide regulatory safety guidelines all support the need for conducting respiratory evaluations in safety pharmacology. This unit provides an overview of the functional disorders of the respiratory system and presents the techniques and strategies considered to be most appropriate for detecting and characterizing drug-induced respiratory disorders in safety pharmacology studies.
