Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis has a high mortality rate due to multiple organ failure. However, the influence of peripheral inflammation on brainstem autonomic and respiratory circuits in sepsis is poorly understood. Our working hypothesis is that peripheral inflammation affects central autonomic circuits and consequently contributes to multiorgan failure in sepsis. METHODS In an Escherichia coli (E. coli)-fibrin clot model of peritonitis, we first recorded ventilatory patterns using plethysmography before and 24 h after fibrin clot implantation. To assess whether peritonitis was associated with brainstem neuro-inflammation, we measured cytokine and chemokine levels in Luminex assays. To determine the effect of E. coli peritonitis on brainstem function, we assessed sympatho-respiratory nerve activities at baseline and during brief (20 s) hypoxemic ischemia challenges using in situ-perfused brainstem preparations (PBPs) from sham or infected rats. PBPs lack peripheral organs and blood, but generate vascular tone and in vivo rhythmic activities in thoracic sympathetic (tSNA), phrenic and vagal nerves. RESULTS Respiratory frequency was greater (p < 0.001) at 24 h post-infection with E. coli than in the sham control. However, breath-by-breath variability and total protein in the BALF did not differ. IL-1β (p < 0.05), IL-6 (p < 0.05) and IL-17 (p < 0.04) concentrations were greater in the brainstem of infected rats. In the PBP, integrated tSNA (p < 0.05) and perfusion pressure were greater (p < 0.001), indicating a neural-mediated pathophysiological high sympathetic drive. Moreover, respiratory frequency was greater (p < 0.001) in PBPs from infected rats than from sham rats. Normalized phase durations of inspiration and expiration were greater (p < 0.009, p < 0.015, respectively), but the post-inspiratory phase (p < 0.007) and the breath-by-breath variability (p < 0.001) were less compared to sham PBPs. Hypoxemic ischemia triggered a biphasic response, respiratory augmentation followed by depression. PBPs from infected rats had weaker respiratory augmentation (p < 0.001) and depression (p < 0.001) than PBPs from sham rats. In contrast, tSNA in E. coli-treated PBPs was enhanced throughout the entire response to hypoxemic ischemia (p < 0.01), consistent with sympathetic hyperactivity. CONCLUSION We show that peripheral sepsis caused brainstem inflammation and impaired sympatho-respiratory motor control in a single day after infection. We conclude that central sympathetic hyperactivity may impact vital organ systems in sepsis.

Abstract
Introduction: Biometrics of common physiologic signals can reflect health status. We have developed analytics to measure the predictability of ventilatory pattern variability (VPV, Nonlinear Complexity Index (NLCI) that quantifies the predictability of a continuous waveform associated with inhalation and exhalation) and the cardioventilatory coupling (CVC, the tendency of the last heartbeat in expiration to occur at preferred latency before the next inspiration). We hypothesized that measures of VPV and CVC are sensitive to the development of endotoxemia, which evoke neuroinflammation. Methods: We implanted Sprague Dawley male rats with BP transducers to monitor arterial blood pressure (BP) and recorded ventilatory waveforms and BP simultaneously using whole-body plethysmography in conjunction with BP transducer receivers. After baseline (BSLN) recordings, we injected lipopolysaccharide (LPS, n = 8) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS, n =3) intraperitoneally on 3 consecutive days. We recorded for 4-6 h after the injection, chose 3 epochs from each hour and analyzed VPV and CVC as well as heart rate variability (HRV). Results: First, the responses to sepsis varied across rats, but within rats the repeated measures of NLCI, CVC, as well as respiratory frequency (fR), HR, BP and HRV had a low coefficient of variation, (<0.2) at each time point. Second, HR, fR, and NLCI increased from BSLN on Days 1-3; whereas CVC decreased on Days 2 and 3. In contrast, changes in BP and the relative low-(LF) and high-frequency (HF) of HRV were not significant. The coefficient of variation decreased from BSLN to Day 3, except for CVC. Interestingly, NLCI increased before fR in LPS-treated rats. Finally, we histologically confirmed lung injury, systemic inflammation via ELISA and the presence of the proinflammatory cytokine, IL-1β, with immunohistochemistry in the ponto-medullary respiratory nuclei. Discussion: Our findings support that NLCI reflects changes in the rat's health induced by systemic injection of LPS and reflected in increases in HR and fR. CVC decreased over the course to the experiment. We conclude that NLCI reflected the increase in predictability of the ventilatory waveform and (together with our previous work) may reflect action of inflammatory cytokines on the network generating respiration.

Abstract
Introduction: Our laboratory investigates changes in the respiratory pattern during systemic inflammation in various rodent models. The endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS) regulates cytokine production and mitigates inflammation. Inflammation not only affects cannabinoid (CB) 1 and CB2 receptor gene expression (Cnr1 and Cnr2), but also increases the predictability of the ventilatory pattern. Objectives: Our primary objective was to track ventilatory pattern variability and transcription of Cnr1 and Cnr2 mRNA, and of Il1b, Il6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (Tnfa) mRNAs at multiple time points in central and peripheral tissues during systemic inflammation induced by peritonitis. Methods: In male Sprague Dawley rats (n=24), we caused peritonitis by implanting a fibrin clot containing either 0 or 25×106 Escherichia coli intraperitoneally. We recorded breathing with whole-animal plethysmography at baseline and 1 h before euthanasia. We euthanized the rats at 3, 6, or 12 h after inoculation and harvested the pons, medulla, lung, and heart for gene expression analysis. Results: With peritonitis, Cnr1 mRNA more than Cnr2 mRNA was correlated to Il1b, Il6, and Tnfa mRNAs in medulla, pons, and lung and changed oppositely in the pons, medulla, and lung. These changes were associated with increased predictability of ventilatory pattern. Specifically, nonlinear complexity index correlated with increased Cnr1 mRNA in the pons and medulla, and coefficient of variation for cycle duration correlated with Cnr1 and Cnr2 mRNAs in the lung. Conclusion: The mRNAs for ECS receptors varied with time during the central and peripheral inflammatory response to peritonitis. These changes occurred in the brainstem, which contains the network that generates breathing pattern and thus, may participate in ventilatory pattern changes during systemic inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary disease remains the primary cause of morbidity and mortality for individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). Variants at a locus on the X-chromosome containing the type 2 angiotensin II receptor gene (AGTR2) were identified by a large GWAS as significantly associating with lung function in CF patients. We hypothesized that manipulating the angiotensin-signaling pathway may yield clinical benefit in CF. METHODS Genetic subset analysis was conducted on a local CF cohort to extend the GWAS findings. Next, we evaluated pulmonary function in CF mice with a deleted AGTR2 gene, and in those who were given subcutaneous injections of PD123,319, a selective AGTR2 antagonist for 12 weeks beginning at weaning. RESULTS The genetic subset analysis replicated the initial GWAS identified association, and confirmed the association of this locus with additional lung function parameters. Studies in genetically modified mice established that absence of the AGTR2 gene normalized pulmonary function indices in two independent CF mouse models. Further, we determined that pharmacologic antagonism of AGTR2 improved overall pulmonary function in CF mice to near wild-type levels. CONCLUSIONS These results identify that reduced AGTR2 signaling is beneficial to CF lung function, and suggest the potential of manipulating the angiotensin-signaling pathway for treatment and/or prevention of CF pulmonary disease. Importantly, the beneficial effects were not CF gene mutation dependent, and were able to be reproduced with pharmacologic antagonism. As there are clinically approved drugs available to target the renin-angiotensin signaling system, these findings may be quickly translated to human clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Altered pulmonary function is present early in the course of cystic fibrosis (CF), independent of documented infections or onset of pulmonary symptoms. New initiatives in clinical care are focusing on detection and characterization of preclinical disease. Thus, animal models are needed which recapitulate the pulmonary phenotype characteristic of early stage CF. METHODS We investigated young CF mice to determine if they exhibit pulmonary pathophysiology consistent with the early CF lung phenotype. Lung histology and pulmonary mechanics were examined in 12- to 16-week-old congenic C57bl/6 F508del and R117H CF mice using a forced oscillation technique (flexiVent). RESULTS There were no significant differences in the resistance of the large airways. However, in both CF mouse models, prominent differences in the mechanical properties of the peripheral lung compartment were identified including decreased static lung compliance, increased elastance and increased tissue damping. CF mice also had distal airspace enlargement with significantly increased mean linear intercept distances. CONCLUSIONS An impaired ability to stretch and expand the peripheral lung compartment, as well as increased distances between gas exchange surfaces, were present in young CF mice carrying two independent Cftr mutations. This altered pulmonary histopathophysiology in the peripheral lung compartment, which develops in the absence of infection, is similar to the early lung phenotype of CF patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Altered ventilatory pattern and increased energy expenditure are facets of the complex cystic fibrosis (CF) phenotype. It is not known whether these are inherent attributes of CF, secondary consequences of lung infection or other disease complications. METHODS Studies were performed in congenic C57BL/6J, F508del (Cftr((tm1kth))) and CF gut-corrected (F508del) mice. Ventilatory patterns were measured using whole-body plethysmography. Indirect calorimetry was used to determine oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production and resting energy expenditure. RESULTS CF mice (F508del and F508del gut-corrected) have a significantly faster respiratory rate and increased ventilatory pattern variability as compared to non-CF mice. F508del but not CF gut-corrected mice had significantly increased energy expenditure per gram body weight. CONCLUSIONS CF mice exhibit a faster, more variable ventilatory pattern. These changes were present in the absence of detectable infection or illness due to gastrointestinal obstruction. Increased resting energy expenditure does not completely account for these differences.

Abstract
PURPOSE Individuals have different breathing patterns at rest, during wakefulness, and during sleep, and patients with sleep apnea are no different. The hypothesis for this study was that breathing irregularity during wakefulness associates with CPAP acceptance in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS From a 2007-2010-database of patients with a diagnostic polysomnography (PSG) and prescribed CPAP (n = 380), retrospectively, 66 patients who quit CPAP treatment at 6 months were identified. Among them, 27 OSA patients quit despite having no side effects for discontinuing CPAP (Group A) and were compared to a matched group (age, body mass index, and apnea-hypopnea index) with good 6-month CPAP adherence (Group B; n = 21). Five minutes of respiratory signal during wakefulness at the initial PSG were extracted from respiratory inductance plethysmography recordings, and measured in a blinded fashion. The coefficients of variation (CV) for the breath-to-breath inspiration time (T i), expiration time (T e), T i + T e (T tot), and relative tidal volume, as well as an independent information theory-based metric of signal pattern variability (mutual information) were compared between groups. RESULTS The CV for tidal volume was significantly greater (p = 0.001), and mutual information was significantly lower (p = 0.041) in Group A as compared to Group B. CONCLUSIONS Differences in two independent measures of breathing irregularity correlated with CPAP rejection in OSA patients without nasal symptoms or comorbidity. Prospective studies of adherence should examine traits of breathing stability.
