A Novel Inhibitor of the Na+/ H+ Exchanger Type 3 Activates the Central Respiratory CO2 Response and Lowers the Apneic Threshold

Abstract: Cultured CO2-sensitive neurons from the ventrolateral medulla of newborn rats enhanced their bioelectric activity upon intracellular acidification induced by inhibition of the Na+/H+ exchanger type 3 (NHE3). Now we detected NHE3 also in the medulla oblongata of adult rabbits. Therefore, this animal model was employed to determine whether NHE3 inhibition also affects central respiratory chemosensitivity in vivo. Seven anesthetized (pentobarbital), vagotomized, paralyzed rabbits were artificially ventilated with… Show more

“…Tight regulation of the carrier allows the adjustment of epithelial transport to the respective functional requirements (29,39,43,50,51,60). Beyond that, NHE3 serves in the regulation of cytosolic pH in several nonpolarized cells (19,34,37,71). Signaling molecules regulating NHE3 activity include serum-and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase (SGK)1, which has originally been cloned as a glucocorticoid-inducible gene (23,68,69).…”

“…NHE3 is present in ventrolateral neurons from medullary organotypic cultures, and blockade of this exchanger using high-affinity inhibitors caused a drop in pHi and potentiated the response of these cells to CO 2 (13). The NHE3 inhibitor S8218 was found to activate CO 2 /H ϩ -sensitive neurons in vitro (12) and to potentiate the CO 2 ventilatory response and decrease the apneic threshold in rabbits (28). NHE3 seems to be the predominant NHE subtype in chemosensitive neurons.…”

“…Furthermore, these traditional chemoreceptors show attenuated pH i recovery during a normal hypercapnic stimulus because their NHEs are inhibited by extracellular acidosis (7,14,40,42). Recently, inhibition of the NHE-3 isoform with the selective blocker S8218 has been shown to increase the mammalian central CO 2 ventilatory response and lower the apneic threshold, suggesting an important function of NHE-3 in mammalian CO 2 sensing (30). Avian IPC also appear to rely on NHEs for their inverse response to CO 2 stimuli as demonstrated in the current investigation.…”
