The significance of Na/K-ATPase on respiratory rhythm generation is not well understood. We investigated the effects of the Na/K-ATPase blocker, ouabain, on respiratory rhythm. Experiments were performed with brainstem-spinal cord preparation from 0 to 3-day-old Wistar rats and with decerebrate and arterially perfusedin situpreparation from juvenile rats (postnatal day 11–13). Newborn rat preparations were superfused at a rate of 3.0 ml/min with artificial cerebrospinal fluid, equilibrated with 95% O2and 5% CO2, pH 7.4, at 26–27 °C. Inspiratory activity was monitored from the fourth cervical ventral root (C4). Application of ouabain (15–20 min) resulted in a dose-dependent increase in the burst rate of C4 inspiratory activity. After washout, the burst rate further increased to reach quasi-maximum values under each condition (e.g. 183% of control in 1 μM, 253% in 10 μM, and 303% in 20 μM at 30 min washout). Inspiratory or pre-inspiratory neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla were depolarized. We obtained similar results (i.e. increased phrenic burst rate) in anin situperfused preparation of juvenile rats. Genes encoding the Na/K-ATPase α subunit were expressed in the region of the parafacial respiratory group (pFRG) in neonatal rats, suggesting that cells (neurons and/or glias) in the pFRG were one of the targets of ouabain. We concluded that Na/K-ATPase activity could be an important factor in respiratory rhythm modulation.
