Abstract

A striking feature of the carotid body (CB) is its remarkable degree of plasticity in a variety of neurotransmitter/modulator systems in response to environmental stimuli, particularly following hypoxic exposure of animals and during ascent to high altitude. Current evidence suggests that acetylcholine and adenosine triphosphate are two major excitatory neurotransmitter candidates in the hypoxic CB, and they may also be involved as co-transmitters in hypoxic signaling. Conversely, dopamine, histamine and nitric oxide have recently been considered inhibitory transmitters/modulators of hypoxic chemosensitivity. It has also been revealed that interactions between excitatory and inhibitory messenger molecules occur during hypoxia. On the other hand, alterations in purinergic neurotransmitter mechanisms have been implicated in ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia. Chronic hypoxia also induces profound changes in other neurochemical systems within the CB such as the catecholaminergic, peptidergic and nitrergic, which in turn may contribute to increased ventilatory and chemoreceptor responsiveness to hypoxia at high altitude. Taken together, current data suggest that complex interactions among transmitters markedly influence hypoxia-induced transmitter release from the CB. In addition, the expression of a wide variety of growth factors, proinflammatory cytokines and their receptors have been identified in CB parenchymal cells in response to hypoxia and their upregulated expression could mediate the local inflammation and functional alteration of the CB under hypoxic conditions.
