Here, we tested the hypothesis that C1 activates A5 neurons through the release of glutamate and this effect is important for sympathetic and respiratory control. Using selective tools, we restricted the expression of channelrhodopsin2 under the control of the artificial promoter PRSx8 to C1 neurons (69%). Transduced catecholaminergic terminals within the A5 region are in contact with noradrenergic A5 neurons and the C1 terminals within the A5 region are predominantly glutamatergic. In a different group of animals, we performed retrograde lesion of C1 adrenergic neurons projecting to the A5 region with unilateral injection of the immunotoxin anti\u2010dopamine \u03b2\u2010hydroxylase\u2010saporin (anti\u2010D\u03b2H\u2010SAP) directly into the A5 region during the hypoxic condition. As expected, hypoxia (8% O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>, 3\u00a0h) induced a robust increase in fos expression within the catecholaminergic C1 and A5 regions of the brainstem. Depletion of C1 cells projecting to the A5 regions reduced fos immunoreactivity induced by hypoxia within the C1 region. Physiological experiments showed that bilateral injection of kynurenic acid (100\u00a0mM) into the A5 region reduced the rise in mean arterial pressure, and sympathetic and phrenic nerve activities produced by optogenetic stimulation of C1 cells. In conclusion, the C1 neurons activate the ventrolateral pontine noradrenergic neurons (A5 region) possibly via the release of glutamate and might be important for sympathetic and respiratory outputs in anaesthetized rats.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1113\/ep089691","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,23]],"date-time":"2021-11-23T14:45:13Z","timestamp":1637678713000},"page":"147-160","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["A5 noradrenergic\u2010projecting C1 neurons activate sympathetic and breathing outputs in anaesthetized rats"],"prefix":"10.1113","volume":"107","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5163-8424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milene R.","family":"Malheiros\u2010Lima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology and Biophysics Instituto de Ciencias Biomedicas Universidade de Sao Paulo (USP)  S\u00e3o Paulo SP Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Talita M.","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology and Biophysics Instituto de Ciencias Biomedicas Universidade de Sao Paulo (USP)  S\u00e3o Paulo SP Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6273-0760","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana C.","family":"Takakura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology Instituto de Ciencias Biomedicas Universidade de Sao Paulo (USP)  S\u00e3o Paulo SP Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9789-8296","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thiago S.","family":"Moreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology and Biophysics Instituto de Ciencias Biomedicas Universidade de Sao Paulo (USP)  S\u00e3o Paulo SP Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/HYPERTENSIONAHA.111.00860"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.1046-12.2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ejn.12421"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1113\/jphysiol.2012.232157"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1113\/jphysiol.2009.177535"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1096-9861(19960909)373:1<62::AID-CNE6>3.0.CO;2-B"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.resp.2008.07.014"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-8993(82)90502-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroscience.2013.11.031"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0006-8993(99)02304-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.RES.56.3.359"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.23024"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201407-1262OC"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/japplphysiol.00164.2015"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.902610406"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-8993(84)90206-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.21140"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1460-9568.2008.06351.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.903480309"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","first-page":"R851","article-title":"Chemoreceptor\u2010sensitive neurons in commissural subnucleus of nucleus tractus solitarius of the rat","volume":"268","author":"Chitravanshi V.
