Mice Lacking Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Exhibit Visceral Sensory Neuron Losses Distinct from Mice Lacking NT4 and Display a Severe Developmental Deficit in Control of Breathing

The neurotrophins brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-4/5 (NT4) act via the TrkB receptor and support survival of primary somatic and visceral sensory neurons. The major visceral sensory population, the nodose-petrosal ganglion complex (NPG), requires BDNF and NT4 for survival of a full complement of neurons, providing a unique opportunity to compare gene dosage effects between the two TrkB ligands and to explore the possibility that one ligand can compensate for loss of the other. Analysis of newborn transgenic mice lacking BDNF or NT4, or BDNF and NT4, revealed that survival of many NPG afferents is proportional to the number of functional BDNF alleles, whereas only one functional NT4 allele is required to support survival of all NT4-dependent neurons. In addition, subpopulation analysis revealed that BDNF and NT4 can compensate for the loss of the other to support a subset of dopaminergic ganglion cells. Together, these data demonstrate that the pattern of neuronal dependencies on BDNF and NT4 in vivo is far more heterogeneous than predicted from previous studies in culture. Moreover, BDNF knockout animals lack a subset of afferents involved in ventilatory control and exhibit severe respiratory abnormalities characterized by depressed and irregular breathing and reduced chemosensory drive. BDNF is therefore required for expression of normal respiratory behavior in newborn animals.

Key words: chemoreceptor; neurotrophin; nodose; petrosal; respiration; Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
