Activation of orexin-2 receptors in the Kӧlliker-Fuse nucleus of anesthetized mice leads to transient slowing of respiratory rate
Orexins are neuropeptides originating from the hypothalamus that serve broad physiological roles, including the regulation of autonomic function, sleep-wake states, arousal and breathing. Lack of orexins may lead to narcolepsy and sleep disordered breathing. Orexinergic hypothalamic neurons send fib...

description | Orexins are neuropeptides originating from the hypothalamus that serve broad physiological roles, including the regulation of autonomic function, sleep-wake states, arousal and breathing. Lack of orexins may lead to narcolepsy and sleep disordered breathing. Orexinergic hypothalamic neurons send fibers to Kӧlliker-Fuse (KF) neurons that directly project to the rostroventral respiratory group, and phrenic and hypoglossal motor neurons. These connections indicate a potential role of orexin-modulated KF neurons in functionally linking the control of wakefulness/arousal and respiration. In a reduced preparation of juvenile rats Orexin B microinjected into the KF led to a transient increase in respiratory rate and hypoglossal output, however Orexin B modulation of the KF in intact preparations has not been explored. Here, we performed microinjections of the Orexin B mouse peptide and the synthetic Orexin 2 receptor agonist, MDK 5220, in the KF of spontaneously breathing, isoflurane anesthetized wild type mice. Microinjection of Orexin-2 receptor agonists into the KF led to transient slowing of respiratory rate, which was more exaggerated in response to Orexin-B than MDK 5220 injections. Our data suggest that Orexin B signaling in the KF may contribute to arousal-mediated respiratory responses. |
