Abstract
Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is a hallmark manifestation of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a widespread breathing disorder. CIH-treated rodents exhibit activation of the sympathetic nervous system and hypertension. Heightened carotid body (CB) activity has been implicated in CIH-induced hypertension. CB expresses high abundance of olfactory receptor (Olfr) 78, a G-protein coupled receptor. Olfr 78 null mice exhibit impaired CB sensory nerve response to acute hypoxia. Present study examined whether Olfr78 participates in CB-dependent activation of the sympathetic nervous system and hypertension in CIH-treated mice and in hemeoxygenase (HO)-2 null mice experiencing CIH as a consequence of naturally occurring OSA. CIH-treated wild-type (WT) mice showed hypertension, biomarkers of sympathetic nerve activation, and enhanced CB sensory nerve response to hypoxia and sensory long-term facilitation (sLTF), and these responses were absent in CIH-treated Olfr78 null mice. HO-2 null mice showed higher apnea index (AI) (58 ± 1.2 apneas/h) than WT mice (AI = 8 ± 0.8 apneas/h) and exhibited elevated blood pressure (BP), elevated plasma norepinephrine (NE) levels, and heightened CB sensory nerve response to hypoxia and sLTF. The magnitude of hypertension correlated with AI in HO-2 null mice. In contrast, HO-2/Olfr78 double null mice showed absence of elevated BP and plasma NE levels and augmented CB response to hypoxia and sLTF. These results demonstrate that Olfr78 participates in sympathetic nerve activation and hypertension and heightened CB activity in two murine models of CIH.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Carotid body (CB) sensory nerve activation is essential for sympathetic nerve excitation and hypertension in rodents treated with chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) simulating blood O2 profiles during obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Here, we report that CIH-treated mice and hemeoxygenase (HO)-2-deficient mice, which show OSA phenotype, exhibit sympathetic excitation, hypertension, and CB activation. These effects are absent in Olfr78 null and Olfr78/HO-2 double null mice.

[PMID: 31870965 DOI: 10.1016/j.niox.2019.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2019] [Revised: 11/07/2019] [Accepted: 12/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The gasotransmitters, nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and carbon monoxide (CO), are endogenously-produced volatile molecules that perform signaling functions throughout the body. In biological tissues, these small, lipid-permeable molecules exist in free gaseous form for only seconds or less, and thus they are ideal for paracrine signaling that can be controlled rapidly by changes in their rates of production or consumption. In addition, tissue concentrations of the gasotransmitters are influenced by fluctuations in the level of O2 and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The normal transition from fetus to newborn involves a several-fold increase in tissue O2 tensions and ROS, and requires rapid morphological and functional adaptations to the extrauterine environment. This review summarizes the role of gasotransmitters as it pertains to newborn physiology. Particular focus is given to the vasculature, ventilatory, and gastrointestinal systems, each of which uniquely illustrate the function of gasotransmitters in the birth transition and newborn periods. Moreover, given the relative lack of studies on the role that gasotransmitters play in the newborn, particularly that of H2S and CO, important gaps in knowledge are highlighted throughout the review.

Abstract
Exposure to CO causes early afterdepolarization arrhythmias. Previous studies in rats have indicated that arrhythmias arose as a result of augmentation of the late Na+ current. The purpose of the present study was to examine the basis for CO-induced arrhythmias in guinea pig myocytes in which action potentials (APs) more closely resemble those of human myocytes. Whole-cell current- and voltage-clamp recordings were made from isolated guinea pig myocytes as well as from human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells that express wild-type or a C723S mutant form of ether-a-go-go-related gene (ERG; Kv11.1). We also monitored the formation of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) in HEK293 cells fluorimetrically. CO-applied as the CO-releasing molecule, CORM-2-prolonged the APs and induced early afterdepolarizations in guinea pig myocytes. In HEK293 cells, CO inhibited wild-type, but not C723S mutant, Kv11.1 K+ currents. Inhibition was prevented by an antioxidant, mitochondrial inhibitors, or inhibition of NO formation. CO also raised ONOO- levels, an effect that was reversed by the ONOO- scavenger, FeTPPS [5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-sulfonatophenyl)-porphyrinato-iron(III)], which also prevented the CO inhibition of Kv11.1 currents and abolished the effects of CO on Kv11.1 tail currents and APs in guinea pig myocytes. Our data suggest that CO induces arrhythmias in guinea pig cardiac myocytes via the ONOO--mediated inhibition of Kv11.1 K+ channels.-Al-Owais, M. M., Hettiarachchi, N. T., Kirton, H. M., Hardy, M.

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) mediated respiratory responses to hypoxia in the goldfish, Carassius auratus. Respir Physiol Neurobiol 2014; 199:1-8.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the role of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in modulating the hypoxic and hyperoxic ventilatory responses of goldfish (Carassius auratus) acclimated to 7 and 25°C. HO-1 was present in the neuroepithelial cells (NECs; putative branchial O2 chemoreceptors) of fish acclimated to 7°C only. Hypoxia exposure increased gill HO-1 activity in 7°C fish (14.0±1.4 to 42.5±3.2pmolbilirubinmin(-1)mgprotein(-1)). Inhibition of HO-1 activity with zinc protophorphyrin IX (ZnPPIX) increased the ventilation frequency response to acute hypoxia (30mmHg); frequency increased from 48.3±5.1 to 137.4±16.0 breaths per min (BPM) in hypoxic 7°C fish treated with ZnPPIX compared to 46.2±4.2 to 77.9±5.3 BPM in control fish. Unlike in the control (untreated) 7°C fish exposed to hyperoxia, fish injected with ZnPPIX did not significantly decrease breathing frequency. Inhibiting HO-1 activity was without effect on the hypoxic or hyperoxic ventilatory responses of fish acclimated to 25°C. Based on these observations, we suggest that HO-1 plays an inhibitory role in regulating breathing frequency but only in goldfish acclimated to 7°C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To effectively extend the shelf life of fresh jujube, carbon monoxide (CO), as a small molecular gas, was applied to fumigate fresh jujube. The quality and antioxidant activity of jujubes fumigated with carbon monoxide at concentrations of 0 (control), 5, 10, 20 and 40 µmol L⁻¹ for 1 h under ambient temperature were investigated. RESULTS The jujube fumigated with 10 µmol L⁻¹ CO showed the best preserving effect amongst all samples. At 30 days, the decay incidence of jujube fumigated with 10 µmol L⁻¹ CO is only two-thirds of that of control sample; its red index and weight loss rate were 22.8% and 19.4% lower, and its firmness, soluble solids content (SSC) and acidity were 18.7%, 5.4% and 12.2% higher than that of control samples, respectively. Its vitamin C and total flavonoid contents were also the highest. However, no significant difference in total polyphenol content was found. The jujubes treated with 10 µmol L⁻¹ CO exhibited the highest antioxidant activity in terms of reducing power and 2,2-diphenyl-1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)hydrazyl radical scavenging activity. However, the jujubes fumigated with 40 µmol L⁻¹ CO showed inferior characteristics compared with the control sample. CONCLUSION Fumigating jujubes with proper concentration of CO probably is a potential novel method for post-harvest jujube preservation in the future.

Contribution of BK(Ca) channels of neurons in rostral ventrolateral medulla to CO-mediated central regulation of respiratory rhythm in medullary slices of neonatal rats. Respir Physiol Neurobiol 2012; 182:93-9.

Abstract
We recently described that carbon monoxide (CO) participated in the regulation of rhythmic respiration in medullary slices. The present study was undertaken to further assess whether the large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BK(Ca) channels) are involved in the CO-mediated central regulation of respiratory rhythm in medullary slices. The rhythmic discharge of hypoglossal rootlets of medullary slices of neonatal rats was recorded. We observed that blocking BK(Ca) channels could partially abolish the effects of CO on the rhythmic bursts of hypoglossal rootlets. With whole-cell patch-clamp recording technique, we further observed that CO could reversibly augment potassium current density of the neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla. The CO-induced increase in potassium current was entirely blocked by the pretreatment of slices with BK(Ca) channels blocker; whereas blockade of CO generation with zinc protoporphyrin-IX produced an opposite response. Altogether, these data indicate that BK(Ca) channels of the neurons in neonatal rostral ventrolateral medulla could be activated by CO and involved in CO-mediated central regulation of respiratory rhythm in medullary slices.

Abstract
The present study was conducted in order to observe the potential participation of the nitric oxide synthase-NO pathway in CO-mediated regulation of respiration of neonatal rats. An immunofluorescent histochemical technique was used to examine the existence of the neuronal nitric oxide synthase, a key enzyme of synthesizing NO, in medullary respiratory nuclei. The rhythmic respiratory-like discharges of hypoglossal rootlets of medullary slices were recorded to test the role of the nitric oxide synthase in CO-mediated respiratory effects. We observed neuronal nitric oxide synthase expressed in the medullary respiratory nuclei in conjunction with CO lengthened expiratory duration, decreased respiratory frequency, and increased inspiratory amplitude. These CO-mediated respiratory effects could be partially eliminated by prior treatment of the slices with Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase. The results suggest that nitric oxide synthase-NO pathway might be involved in the CO-mediated central regulation of respiration at the level of medulla oblongata in neonatal rats.

Large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in the neurons of pre-Bötzinger complex and their participation in the regulation of central respiratory activity in neonatal rats.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to test our hypothesis that the large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BK(Ca) channels) exist in the neurons of the pre-Bötzinger complex (PBC), a brainstem region that may generate respiratory rhythm in mammals, and play roles in central regulation of respiratory activity in neonatal rats. Immunohistochemical technique revealed that BK(Ca) channels expressed in the neurons of PBC region. Whole cell voltage clamp recordings from the neurons in the PBC showed that BK(Ca) channels could be activated by membrane depolarization and blocked by 1mM tetraethylammonium (TEA) or 10microM paxilline in the preparation of thin (about 300microm) medullary slices of neonatal rats. The rhythmic respiratory-like discharge of hypoglossal rootlets could be changed by perfusing the thick (700-900microm) medullary slices with 1mM TEA or 10microM paxilline. Both TEA and paxilline could prolong the inspiratory duration, shorten the expiratory duration and increase the respiratory frequency. The results suggest that BK(Ca) channels exist in the PBC neurons and may be involved in the central control of rhythmic respiration in the neonatal rats.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to verify our assumption that rhythmic respiratory activity may be regulated by endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) in the medullary slices of neonatal rats. We found that a moderate concentration of donor of H(2)S, NaHS, mainly induced diphasic respiratory responses indicated by changes of discharge frequency (DF) of hypoglossal rootlets, an initial inhibitory stage followed by a later excitatory one. Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) substrate, cysteine (CYS), exerted similar effects. CBS inhibitor, NH(2)OH, could eliminate both inhibitory and excitatory effects in the two stages induced by CYS. K(ATP) channel blocker, glibenclamide (Gl), could eliminate the decrease in DF in the initial stage, but not the increase in the later one. On the other hand, adenyl cyclase (AC) inhibitor, SQ-22536 (SQ) could eliminate the increase in DF in the later stage, but not the decrease in the initial one, of the rootlets caused by NaHS. Co-application of Gl and SQ eliminated both inhibitory and excitatory effect induced by NaHS. The cAMP level was increased in the later stage but not in the initial one by NaHS, and the increase in the cAMP level could be eliminated by SQ. It can be concluded that the endogenous H(2)S could be produced through the CBS-H(2)S pathway and could be involved in the control of the central rhythmic respiration in the in vitro medullary slices of neonatal rats by opening K(ATP) channels and activating AC-cAMP pathway of the neurons.
