Abstract
The pre-Bötzinger complex, situated in the ventrolateral medulla, serves as the central generator for the inspiratory phase of the respiratory rhythm. Evidence strongly supports its pivotal role in generating, and, in conjunction with the post-inspiratory complex and the lateral parafacial nucleus, in shaping the respiratory rhythm. While there remains an ongoing debate concerning the mechanisms underlying these nuclei's ability to generate and modulate breathing, transgenic rodent models have significantly contributed to our understanding of these processes. However, there is a significant knowledge gap regarding the spectrum of transgenic rodent lines developed for studying respiratory rhythm, and the methodologies employed in these models. In this study, we conducted a scoping review to identify commonly used transgenic rodent lines and techniques for studying respiratory rhythm generation and modulation. Following PRISMA guidelines, we identified relevant papers in PubMed and EBSCO on 29 March 2023, and transgenic lines in Mouse Genome Informatics and the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium. With strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, we identified 80 publications spanning 1997-2022 using 107 rodent lines. Our findings revealed 30 lines focusing on rhythm generation, 61 on modulation, and 16 on both. The primary in vivo method was whole-body plethysmography. The main in vitro method was hypoglossal/phrenic nerve recordings using the en bloc preparation. Additionally, we identified 119 transgenic lines with the potential for investigating the intricate mechanisms underlying respiratory rhythm. Through this review, we provide insights needed to design more effective experiments with transgenic animals to unravel the mechanisms governing respiratory rhythm. The identified transgenic rodent lines and methodological approaches compile current knowledge and guide future research towards filling knowledge gaps in respiratory rhythm generation and modulation.

Abstract
Erythropoietin (Epo) and its receptor are expressed in central respiratory areas. We hypothesized that chronic Epo deficiency alters functioning of central respiratory areas and thus the respiratory adaptation to hypercapnia. The hypercapnic ventilatory response (HcVR) was evaluated by whole body plethysmography in wild type (WT) and Epo deficient (Epo-TAgh) adult male mice under 4%CO2. Epo-TAgh mice showed a larger HcVR than WT mice because of an increase in both respiratory frequency and tidal volume, whereas WT mice only increased their tidal volume. A functional histological approach revealed changes in CO2/H+-activated cells between Epo-TAgh and WT mice. First, Epo-TAgh mice showed a smaller increase under hypercapnia in c-FOS-positive number of cells in the retrotrapezoid nucleus/parafacial respiratory group than WT, and this, independently of changes in the number of PHOX2B-expressing cells. Second, we did not observe in Epo-TAgh mice the hypercapnic increase in c-FOS-positive number of cells in the nucleus of the solitary tract present in WT mice. Finally, whereas hypercapnia did not induce an increase in the c-FOS-positive number of cells in medullary raphe nuclei in WT mice, chronic Epo deficiency leads to raphe pallidus and magnus nuclei activation by hyperacpnia, with a significant part of c-FOS positive cells displaying an immunoreactivity for serotonin in the raphe pallidus nucleus. All of these results suggest that chronic Epo-deficiency affects both the pattern of ventilatory response to hypercapnia and associated medullary respiratory network at adult stage with an increase in the sensitivity of 5-HT and non-5-HT neurons of the raphe medullary nuclei leading to stimulation of fR for moderate level of CO2.

Abstract
The objective of this article is to compare and contrast the known characteristics of the systemic O2 transport of humans, rats, and mice at rest and during exercise in normoxia and hypoxia. This analysis should help understand when rodent O2 transport findings can-and cannot-be applied to human responses to similar conditions. The O2 -transport system was analyzed as composed of four linked conductances: ventilation, alveolo-capillary diffusion, circulatory convection, and tissue capillary-cell diffusion. While the mechanisms of O2 transport are similar in the three species, the quantitative differences are naturally large. There are abundant data on total O2 consumption and on ventilatory and pulmonary diffusive conductances under resting conditions in the three species; however, there is much less available information on pulmonary gas exchange, circulatory O2 convection, and tissue O2 diffusion in mice. The scarcity of data largely derives from the difficulty of obtaining blood samples in these small animals and highlights the need for additional research in this area. In spite of the large quantitative differences in absolute and mass-specific O2 flux, available evidence indicates that resting alveolar and arterial and venous blood PO2 values under normoxia are similar in the three species. Additionally, at least in rats, alveolar and arterial blood PO2 under hypoxia and exercise remain closer to the resting values than those observed in humans. This is achieved by a greater ventilatory response, coupled with a closer value of arterial to alveolar PO2 , suggesting a greater efficacy of gas exchange in the rats. © 2018 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Cerebral erythropoietin (Epo) plays a crucial role for respiratory control in newborn rodents. We showed previously that soluble Epo receptor (sEpoR: an Epo antagonist) reduces basal ventilation and hypoxic hyperventilation at postnatal day 10 (P10) and in adult mice. However, at these ages (P10 and adulthood), Epo had no effect on central chemosensitivity. Nevertheless, it is known that the sensitivity to CO2/H+ during the mammalian respiratory network maturation process is age-dependent. Accordingly, in this study we wanted to test the hypothesis that cerebral Epo is involved in the breathing stimulation induced by the activation of central CO2/H+ chemoreceptors at earlier postnatal ages. To this end, en bloc brainstem-spinal cord preparations were obtained from P4 mice and the fictive breathing response to CO2-induced acidosis or metabolic acidosis was analyzed. This age (P4) was chosen because previous research from our laboratory showed that Epo altered (in a dose- and time-dependent manner) the fictive ventilation elicited in brainstem-spinal cord preparations. Moreover, as it was observed that peripheral chemoreceptors determined the respiratory sensitivity of central chemoreceptors to CO2, the use of this technique restricts our observations to central modulation. Our results did not show differences between preparations from control and transgenic animals (Tg21: overexpressing cerebral Epo; Epo-TAgh: cerebral Epo deficient mice). However, when Tg21 brainstem preparations were incubated for 1h with sEpoR, or with inhibitors of ERK/Akt (thus blocking the activation of the Epo molecular pathway), the fictive breathing response to CO2-induced acidosis was blunted. Our data suggest that variation of the Epo/sEpoR ratio is central to breathing modulation during CO2 challenges, and calls attention to clinical perspectives based on the use of Epo drugs at birth in hypoventilation cases.

Abstract
Despite its well-known role in red blood cell production, it is now accepted that erythropoietin (Epo) has other physiological functions. Epo and its receptors are expressed in many tissues, such as the brain and heart. The presence of Epo/Epo receptors in these organs suggests other roles than those usually assigned to this protein. Thus, the aim of this review is to describe the effects of Epo deficiency on adaptation to normoxic and hypoxic environments and to suggest a key role of Epo on main physiological adaptive functions. Our original model of Epo-deficient (Epo-TAgh) mice allowed us to improve our knowledge of the possible role of Epo in O2 homeostasis. The use of anemic transgenic mice revealed Epo as a crucial component of adaptation to hypoxia. Epo-TAgh mice survive well in hypoxic conditions despite low hematocrit. Furthermore, Epo plays a key role in neural control of ventilatory acclimatization and response to hypoxia, in deformability of red blood cells, in cerebral and cardiac angiogenesis, and in neuro- and cardioprotection.

Abstract
Anemia and hypoxia in rats result in an increase in factors potentially involved in cerebral angiogenesis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of chronic anemia and/or chronic hypoxia on cerebral cellular responses and angiogenesis in wild-type and anemic transgenic mice. These studies were done in erythropoietin-deficient mice (Epo-TAgh) in normoxia and following acute (one day) and chronic (14 days, barometric pressure = 420 mmHg) hypoxia. In normoxia, Epo-TAgh mice showed an increase in transcript and protein levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), erythropoietin receptors (EpoR), phospho-STAT-5/STAT-5 ratio, and neuronal neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) along with a higher cerebral capillary density. In wild-type (WT) mice, acute hypoxia increased all of the studied factors, while in chronic hypoxia, HIF-1α, EpoR, phospho-STAT-5/STAT-5 ratio, nNOS, and inducible NOS remained elevated, with an increase in capillary density. Surprisingly, in Epo-TAgh mice, chronic hypoxia did not further increase any factor except the nitric oxide metabolites, while HIF-1α, EpoR, and phospho-STAT-5/STAT-5 ratio were reduced. Normoxic Epo-TAgh mice developed cerebral angiogenesis through the HIF-1α/VEGF pathway. In acute hypoxia, WT mice up-regulated all of the studied factors, including cerebral NO. Polycythemia and angiogenesis occurred with acclimatization to chronic hypoxia only in WT mice. In Epo-TAgh, the decrease in HIF-1α, VEGF proteins, and phospho-STAT-5 ratio in chronic hypoxia suggest that neuroprotective and angiogenesis pathways are altered.

Abstract
Children with acute hypoxic-ischaemic events (e.g. stroke) and chronic neurological conditions associated with hypoxia frequently present to paediatric neurologists. Failure to adapt to hypoxia may be a common pathophysiological pathway linking a number of other conditions of childhood with cognitive deficit. There is evidence that congenital cardiac disease, asthma and sleep disordered breathing, for example, are associated with cognitive deficit, but little is known about the mechanism and whether there is any structural change. This review describes what is known about how the brain reacts and adapts to hypoxia, focusing on epilepsy and sickle cell disease (SCD). We prospectively recorded overnight oxyhaemoglobin saturation (SpO2) in 18 children with intractable epilepsy, six of whom were currently or recently in minor status (MS). Children with MS were more likely to have an abnormal sleep study defined as either mean baseline SpO2 <94% or >4 dips of >4% in SpO2/hour (p = .04). In our series of prospectively followed patients with SCD who subsequently developed acute neurological symptoms and signs, mean overnight SpO2 was lower in those with cerebrovascular disease on magnetic resonance angiography (Mann-Whitney, p = .01). Acute, intermittent and chronic hypoxia may have detrimental effects on the brain, the clinical manifestations perhaps depending on rapidity of presentation and prior exposure.

Abstract
We questioned the assumption that polycythemia is essential for adaptation to chronic hypoxia. Thus, the objective of our study was to determine if anemic Epo-TAg(h) mice could survive in hypoxia despite low oxygen carrying capacity. We explored the possibility that ventilatory acclimatisation is involved in the strategy used by anemic transgenic mice to adapt to chronic hypoxia. Epo-TAg(h) and Wild Type mice were exposed during 2 weeks at a barometric pressure of 450 Torr. After 1, 5 and 14 days of exposure, ventilation at different inspired oxygen fraction was measured in both groups. Ventilation during acclimatisation to hypoxia was significantly greater in Epo-TAg(h) than in Wild Type. The difference was mainly due to a higher tidal volume that could explain a higher arterial PO2 in Epo-TAg(h) mice. Epo-Tag(h) mice did not develop right ventricle hypertrophy after 2 weeks of exposure to hypoxia while Wild Type did. Hemoglobin concentration was 60% lower in anemic mice versus Wild Type after acclimatisation. In conclusion, ventilatory acclimatisation contributed to the adaptation of Epo-Tag(h) mice in chronic hypoxia despite low arterial oxygen carrying capacity.
