Emergence of the pre-Botzinger respiratory rhythm generator in the mouse embryo.

Résumé

To obtain insights into the emergence of rhythmogenic circuits supporting respiration, we monitored spontaneous activities in isolated brainstem and medullary transverse slice preparations of mouse embryos, combining electrophysiological and calcium imaging techniques. At embryonic day 15 (E15), in a restricted region ventral to the nucleus ambiguus, we observed the onset of a sustained high-frequency (HF) respiratory-like activity in addition to a preexisting low-frequency activity having a distinct initiation site, spatial extension, and susceptibility to gap junction blockers. At the time of its onset, the HF generator starts to express the neurokinin 1 receptor, is connected bilaterally, requires active AMPA/kainate glutamatergic synapses, and is modulated by substance P and the mu-opioid agonist D-Ala2-N-Me-Phe4-Glycol5-enkephalin. We conclude that a rhythm generator sharing the properties of the neonatal pre-Botzinger complex becomes active during E15 in mice.
