Regulatory function of sympathetic innervation on the endo/lysosomal trafficking of acetylcholine receptor
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Regulation of membrane receptors involves management of endocytosis. At the neuromuscular junction, the synapse between skeletal muscle and motoneuron, proper density of the major receptor, the acetylcholine receptor, is of utmost importance for sustaining life in context of mobility. Recent work has revealed innervation of NMJs by sympathetic neurons and destruction of them had morphological and functional consequences, suggesting influence on endocytosis. To investigate the pathways and proteins that are relevant for acetylcholine receptor turnover and affected by sympathetic signaling, proteomes of mouse hindlimb muscles from sympathectomized and saline-treated control muscles were compared. Using proteomic, Western blot, and immunofluorescence analysis in chemically sympathectomized mouse hindlimb muscles, the cause of these consequences were aimed to analyzed. This revealed extensive regulation of the proteome by the sympathetic nervous system and a possible regulatory function of the endo/lysosomal and autophagic pathway by sympathetic neuronal input. This finding might provide a new explanation to the observed benefit of sympathicomimetic treatment in several congenital myasthenic syndromes.
