nervous system
|
• the parafacial area e-pF oscillator exhibits only occasional motor activity bursts with reduced frequency compared to in wild-type mice
• rhythmic phrenic discharges are less frequent than in wild-type mice
• mice fail to exhibit an accelerated respiratory-like rhythm phrenic discharge in response to low pH challenge unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit functional pre-Botzinger complex

|
mortality/aging
|
• die within the first hours after birth from respiratory failure
|
homeostasis/metabolism
respiratory system
|
• mean respiratory minute volume (VE) during apnea-free periods of eupnoeic pups is depressed in mutants
|
|
• mutants exhibit gasping behavior and breathing irregularity is significantly greater in mutants
• plethysmographic recordings immediately after delivery show a range of phenotypes; 3 of 18 mutants ventilate only by intermittent gasping, the remaining breathe rhythmically but at a slower rate or show chaotic breathing that is interrupted by periods of apnea
|
|
• apneic episodes are more frequent and last longer in mutants than in wild-type, resulting in a 6.5-fold higher total apnea duration
|
|
• baseline ventilation in air is depressed in mutants
• mutants do not increase their ventilation in response to hypercapnia (elevated pCO2)
|
|
• die within the first hours after birth from respiratory failure
|
nervous system
|
• loss of a set of parafacial interneurons in the RTN/pFRG region
