We used genetically
engineered D2 receptor-deficient [D2-(
/
)]
and wild-type [D2-(+/+)] mice to test the hypothesis that dopamine D2 receptors modulate the ventilatory response to
acute hypoxia [hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR)] and hypercapnia
[hypercapnic ventilatory response (HCVR)] and time-dependent changes
in ventilation during chronic hypoxia. HVR was independent of gender in
D2-(+/+) mice and significantly greater in
D2-(
/
) than in D2-(+/+) female mice. HCVR
was significantly greater in female D2-(+/+) mice than in
male D2-(+/+) and was greater in D2-(
/
)
male mice than in D2-(+/+) male mice. Exposure to hypoxia
for 2-8 days was studied in male mice only. D2-(+/+)
mice showed time-dependent increases in "baseline" ventilation
(inspired PO2 = 214 Torr) and hypoxic stimulated ventilation (inspired PO2 = 70 Torr) after 8 days of acclimatization to hypoxia, but
D2-(
/
) mice did not. Hence, dopamine D2
receptors modulate the acute HVR and HCVR in mice in a gender-specific
manner and contribute to time-dependent changes in ventilation and the
acute HVR during acclimatization to hypoxia.
