OSA patients and CIH-treated rodents exhibit overactive sympathetic nervous system and hypertension, mediated through hyperactive carotid body (CB) chemoreflex. Activation of olfactory receptor 78 (Olfr78) by hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is implicated in CB activation and sympathetic nerve responses to CIH, but the downstream signaling pathways remain unknown. Given that odorant receptor signaling is coupled to adenylyl cyclase 3 (Adcy3), we hypothesized that Adcy3-dependent cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) contributes to CB and sympathetic responses to CIH. Our findings show that CIH increases cAMP levels in the CB, a response absent in Adcy3, Cth (encoding CSE), and Olfr78 null mice. CBs from Cth and Olfr78 mutant mice lacked a persulfidation response to CIH, indicating that Adcy3 activation requires Olfr78 activation by H2S in CIH. CIH also enhanced glomus cell Ca2+ influx, an effect absent in Cnga2 (encoding cyclic nucleotide\u2013gated channel alpha2 subunit) and Adcy3 mutants, suggesting that CIH-induced cAMP mediates enhanced Ca2+ responses through cyclic nucleotide\u2013gated channels. Furthermore, Adcy3 null mice did not exhibit either CB activation or sympathetic activation by CIH. These results demonstrate that Adcy3-dependent cAMP is a downstream signaling pathway to H2S\/Olfr78, mediating CIH-induced CB activation, sympathetic activity and hypertension.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/function\/zqaf003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,21]],"date-time":"2025-01-21T15:17:23Z","timestamp":1737472643000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Signal Transduction Pathway Mediating Carotid Body Dependent Sympathetic Activation and Hypertension by Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Ying-Jie","family":"Peng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Integrative Physiology, Department of Medicine, Pritzker School of Medicine, University of Chicago , Chicago, IL 60637 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jayasri","family":"Nanduri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Integrative Physiology, Department of Medicine, Pritzker School of Medicine, University of Chicago , Chicago, IL 60637 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Integrative Physiology, Department of Medicine, Pritzker School of Medicine, University of Chicago , Chicago, IL 60637 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyu","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Integrative Physiology, Department of Medicine, Pritzker School of Medicine, University of Chicago , Chicago, IL 60637 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Hildreth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Integrative Physiology, Department of Medicine, Pritzker School of Medicine, University of Chicago , Chicago, IL 60637 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nanduri R","family":"Prabhakar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Integrative Physiology, Department of Medicine, Pritzker School of Medicine, University of Chicago , Chicago, IL 60637 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"24","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,22]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2025030421372142000_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1152\/physrev.00043.2008","article-title":"Pathophysiology of sleep apnea","volume":"90","author":"Dempsey","year":"2010","journal-title":"Physiol Rev"},{"issue":"14","key":"2025030421372142000_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1829","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.283.14.1829","article-title":"Association of sleep-disordered breathing, sleep apnea, and hypertension in a large community-based study.
