Autosomal recessive inheritance of airway hyperreactivity to 5-hydroxytryptamine

R. C. Levitt and W. Mitzner
Department of Anesthesiology, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, Maryland 21205.

We have previously reported that airway hyperresponsiveness to acetylcholine (ACh) is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait in A/J and C3H/HeJ mice and the progeny of crosses between them (FASEB J. 2: 2605-2608, 1988). In the present report, we have extended these studies by evaluating the biological variability in the airway response to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and ACh among multiple genetically standardized inbred strains of mice. The pattern of airway responsiveness to ACh differed significantly from that of 5-HT in nine inbred strains of mice. A/J mice showed nonspecific airway hyperresponsiveness to both 5-HT and ACh. DBA/2J mice were hyperresponsive to 5-HT but not to ACh. An airway phenotype that resembled these inbred strains is termed HYPERREACTIVE. The C3H/HeJ and C57BL/6J inbred strains were minimally reactive to either ACh or 5-HT. Airway phenotypes that resembled these minimally reactive strains are termed HYPOREACTIVE. The frequency of HYPERRACTIVE and HYPOREACTIVE offspring from crosses between A/J and C3H/HeJ mice or DBA/2J and C57BL/6J mice is consistent with a single autosomal recessive gene, primarily determining airway hyperresponsiveness to 5-HT. We report linkage studies which suggest that these genes are not closely linked and that 5-HT and ACh airway hyperresponsiveness is inherited independently. The results of these studies suggest that murine nonspecific airway hyperresponsiveness is determined by multiple genes.
