Sympathetic innervation regulates metabolic plasticity of skeletal muscle


ABSTRACT: The sympathetic nervous system (SNS), long recognized for its role in physiological regulation of organs, such as heart, vasculature and lungs, has emerged as a key player in skeletal muscle metabolic and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) health. However, the mechanism through which SNS signaling influences skeletal muscle function and adaptation to exercise remains unclear. Using molecular, electrophysiological, immunohistochemical, and high-resolution respirometry techniques, we tested the role of sympathetic innervation to skeletal muscle in response to exercise. Our findings reveal that sympathetic denervation disrupts the NMJ, reducing motor and sympathetic receptor expression, with concomitant deficits in skeletal muscle function. Mechanistically, these deficits are linked to diminished CPT1 enzyme activity, which impairs long-chain fatty acid-mediated oxidation in skeletal muscle mitochondria. These findings reveal a key role for sympathetic innervation in maintaining mitochondrial metabolic function and by extension, skeletal muscle performance, offering novel insight into the interplay between the SNS, exercise, and muscle mitochondria.
