Noradrenergic Control of Trigeminal Motoneurons in Sleep: Relevance to Sleep Apnea

Abstract: Using rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep as a model state, we sought to determine whether noradrenaline functions to strengthen upper airway muscle tone by amplifying glutamatergic excitation on to trigeminal motoneurons. We report that noradrenaline cannot trigger motoneuron excitability on its own, instead acting to facilitate glutamatergic motor excitation.

“…Other muscles are likely important, for example, the tensor palatini which receives its output from the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve 406–409 . Of note, the neurobiology and control of different motor nuclei differ substantially from the standpoint of premotor inputs and neuropharmacology.…”

“…375,[403][404][405] Other muscles are likely important, for example, the tensor palatini which receives its output from the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve. [406][407][408][409] Of note, the neurobiology and control of different motor nuclei differ substantially from the standpoint of premotor inputs and neuropharmacology. The tensor palatini has primarily tonic activity (i.e., constant activity throughout the respiratory cycle) and thus has less in the way of respiratory modulation than the genioglossus or other phasic muscles.…”

“…We speculate that this arrangement provides flexibility in the muscle's activity while preserving its respiratory role of stiffening the palatal region of the airway throughout the respiratory cycle. Given recent insights into neurochemical control of the trigeminal motor system, 28 pharmacological targets for OSA are likely to emerge once the critical units to target have been defined.…”

“…Thus, the sleep-wake cycle variations in the release of 5-HT and NE may affect upper airway motor tone in a state-dependent manner by acting on motoneurons, as well as at different premotor sites. It is, however, of note that the net effects of NE or 5-HT applied onto orofacial motoneurons are uniformly excitatory (6, 244, 276, 285, 293, 331, 436, 473), whereas, as discussed earlier, the effects of these amines at other respiratory sites are less uniform. This justifies particular interest in the magnitude and pattern of state-dependent effects exerted by 5-HT and NE at the motoneuronal level.…”
