化学反射反应受损是阿片类药物引起的呼吸抑制的一个主要特征,然而,μ阿片受体激动剂导致化学反射减弱的机制尚不完全清楚。与阿片类药物引起的化学反射损伤有关的一个脑干结构是孤束核 (NTS),其中包含一群表达 mu 阿片类受体的神经元。在这里,我们测试了在化学反射挑战期间激活的尾部 NTS 神经元是否表达 mu 阿片受体并与阿片类药物激活的神经元重叠。使用表达μ阿片受体的神经元的基因标记和cFos免疫组织化学作为神经元激活的代表,我们检查了高碳酸血症、缺氧和吗啡给药后激活的NTS神经元的分布。主要发现是缺氧和高碳酸血症主要激活不表达μ阿片受体的NTS神经元。此外,同时给予吗啡和高碳酸血症会诱导非重叠神经元群中的 cFos 表达。这些结果共同表明 NTS 内阿片类药物的间接作用,这可能通过传入神经元和/或抑制性中间神经元上的 mu 阿片类受体介导。
Impaired chemoreflex responses are a central feature of opioid-induced respiratory depression, however, the mechanism through which mu opioid receptor agonists lead to diminished chemoreflexes is not fully understood. One brainstem structure involved in opioid-induced impairment of chemoreflexes is the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), which contains a population of neurons that express mu opioid receptors. Here, we tested whether caudal NTS neurons activated during the chemoreflex challenge express mu opioid receptors and overlap with neurons activated by opioids. Using genetic labeling of mu opioid receptor-expressing neurons and cFos immunohistochemistry as a proxy for neuronal activation, we examined the distribution of activated NTS neurons following hypercapnia, hypoxia, and morphine administration. The main finding was that hypoxia and hypercapnia primarily activated NTS neurons that did not express mu opioid receptors. Furthermore, concurrent administration of morphine with hypercapnia induced cFos expression in non-overlapping populations of neurons. Together these results suggest an indirect effect of opioids within the NTS, which could be mediated through mu opioid receptors on afferents and/or inhibitory interneurons.
