PG - 93 LID - 10.1186/s12964-024-01497-x [doi] LID - 93 AB - BACKGROUND: Physical exercise directly stretching the peripheral nerve promotes nerve regeneration; however, its action mechanism remains elusive. Our present study aimed to investigate the effects of mechanosensitive channel of large conductance (MscL) activated by mechanical stretching on the cultured Schwann cells (SCs) and explore the possible mechanism. METHODS: Primary SCs from neonatal mice at 3-5 days of age were derived and transfected with the lentivirus vector expressing a mutant version of MscL, MscL-G22S. We first detected the cell viability and calcium ion (Ca(2+)) influx in the MscL-G22S-expressing SCs with low-intensity mechanical stretching and the controls. Proteomic and energy metabolomics analyses were performed to investigate the comprehensive effects of MscL-G22S activation on SCs. Measurement of glycolysis- and oxidative phosphorylation-related molecules and ATP production were respectively performed to further validate the effects of MscL-G22S activation on SCs. Finally, the roles of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway in the mechanism of energy metabolism modulation of SCs by MscL-G22S activation was investigated. RESULTS: Mechanical stretching-induced MscL-G22S activation significantly increased the cell viability and Ca(2+) influx into the SCs. Both the proteomic and targeted energy metabolomics analysis indicated the upregulation of energy metabolism as the main action mechanism of MscL-G22S-activation on SCs. MscL-G22S-activated SCs showed significant upregulation of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation when SCs with stretching alone had only mild upregulation of energy metabolism than those without stimuli. MscL-G22S activation caused significant phosphorylation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and upregulation of HIF-1alpha/c-Myc. Inhibition of PI3K abolished the MscL-G22S activation-induced upregulation of HIF-1alpha/c-Myc signaling in SCs and reduced the levels of glycolysis- and oxidative phosphorylation-related substrates and mitochondrial activity. CONCLUSION: Mechanical stretching activates MscL-G22S to significantly promote the energy metabolism of SCs and the production of energic substrates, which may be applied to enhance nerve regeneration via the glia-axonal metabolic coupling.
