Popis: Breathing is a spontaneous, rhythmic motor behavior critical for maintaining O2, CO2, and pH homeostasis. In mammals, it is generated by a neuronal network in the lower brainstem, the respiratory rhythm generator (Feldman et al., 2003). A century-old tenet in respiratory physiology posits that the respiratory chemoreflex, the stimulation of breathing by an increase in partial pressure of CO2in the blood, is indispensable for rhythmic breathing. Here we have revisited this postulate with the help of mouse genetics. We have engineered a conditional mouse mutant in which the toxicPHOX2B27Alamutation that causes congenital central hypoventilation syndrome in man is targeted to the retrotrapezoid nucleus, a site essential for central chemosensitivity. The mutants lack a retrotrapezoid nucleus and their breathing is not stimulated by elevated CO2at least up to postnatal day 9 and they barely respond as juveniles, but nevertheless survive, breathe normally beyond the first days after birth, and maintain blood PCO2within the normal range. Input from peripheral chemoreceptors that sense PO2in the blood appears to compensate for the missing CO2response since silencing them by high O2abolishes rhythmic breathing. CO2chemosensitivity partially recovered in adulthood. Hence, during the early life of rodents, the excitatory input normally afforded by elevated CO2is dispensable for life-sustaining breathing and maintaining CO2homeostasis in the blood.
