Increased breathing rate, apnea and respiratory failure is associated with sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). We recently demonstrated the progressive nature of epilepsy and mortality in Kcna1−/− mice a model of temporal lobe epilepsy and SUDEP. Here, we tested the hypothesis that respiratory dysfunction progresses with age in Kcna1−/− mice, thus increasing risk of respiratory failure and sudden death (SD). Respiratory parameters were determined in conscious mice at baseline and following increasing doses of methacholine (MCh) using non-invasive airway mechanics (NAM) systems. Kcna1+/+, Kcna1+/− and Kcna1−/− littermates were assessed during three age ranges when up to ~30%, ~55% and ~90%of Kcna1−/− mice have succumbed to SUDEP: postnatal day (P) 32-36, P40-46 and P48-56, respectively. Saturated arterial O2 (SaO2) was determined with pulse oximetry. Lung and brain tissues were isolated and Kcna1 gene and protein expression were evaluated by RT-qPCR and Western blot techniques. Airway smooth muscle responsiveness was assessed in isolated trachea exposed to MCh. Kcna1−/− mice experienced an increase in basal respiratory drive, chronic oxygen desaturation, frequent apnea-hypopnea (A-H), an atypical breathing sequence of A-H-tachypnea-A-H, increased tidal volume and hyperventilation induced by MCh. The MCh-provoked hyperventilation was dramatically attenuated with age. Interestingly, only Kcna1−/− mice developed seizures following exposure to MCh. Seizures were provoked by lower concentrations of MCh as Kcna1−/− mice approached sudden death (SD). MCh-induced seizures experienced by a subset of younger Kcna1−/− mice triggered death. Respiratory parameters of these younger Kcna1−/− mice resembled older near-SD Kcna1−/− mice. Kcna1 gene and protein were not expressed in Kcna1+/+ and Kcna1+/− lungs and MCh-mediated airway smooth muscle contractions exhibited similar EC50’s in isolated Kcna1+/+ and Kcna1−/− trachea. The Kcna1−/− model of SUDEP exhibits progressive respiratory dysfunction which suggests a potential increased susceptibility for respiratory failure during severe seizures that may result in sudden death.
