Abstract
Exercise elicits physiological adaptations, including hyperpnea. However, the mechanisms underlying exercise-induced hyperpnea remain unresolved. Skeletal muscle acts as a secretory organ, releasing irisin (IR) during exercise. Irisin can cross the blood-brain barrier, influencing muscle and tissue metabolism, as well as signaling in the central nervous system (CNS). We evaluated the effect of intracerebroventricular or intraperitoneal injection of IR in adult male rats on the cardiorespiratory and metabolic function during sleep-wake cycle under room air, hypercapnia and hypoxia. Central IR injection caused an inhibition on ventilation (VE) during wakefulness under normoxia, while peripheral IR reduced VE during sleep. Additionally, central IR exacerbates hypercapnic hyperventilation by increasing VE and reducing oxygen consumption. As to cardiovascular regulation, central IR caused an increase in heart rate (HR) across all conditions, while no change was observed following peripheral administration. Finally, central IR attenuated the hypoxia-induced regulated hypothermia and increase sleep episodes, while peripheral IR augmented CO2-induced hypothermia, during wakefulness. Overall, our results suggest that IR act mostly on CNS exerting an inhibitory effect on breathing under resting conditions, while stimulating the hypercapnic ventilatory response and increasing HR. Therefore, IR seems not to be responsible for the exercise-induced hyperpnea, but contributes to the increase in HR.

Altered locomotor muscle metaboreflex control of ventilation in patients with COPD. J Appl Physiol (1985) 2024; 136:385-398. [PMID: 38174374 DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00560.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
We investigated the locomotor muscle metaboreflex control of ventilation, circulation, and dyspnea in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Ten patients [forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1; means ± SD) = 43 ± 17% predicted] and nine age- and sex-matched controls underwent 1) cycling exercise followed by postexercise circulatory occlusion (PECO) to activate the metaboreflex or free circulatory flow to inactivate it, 2) cold pressor test to interpret whether any altered reflex response was specific to the metaboreflex arc, and 3) muscle biopsy to explore the metaboreflex arc afferent side. We measured airflow, dyspnea, heart rate, arterial pressure, muscle blood flow, and vascular conductance during reflexes activation. In addition, we measured fiber types, glutathione redox balance, and metaboreceptor-related mRNAs in the vastus lateralis. Metaboreflex activation increased ventilation versus free flow in patients (∼15%, P < 0.020) but not in controls (P > 0.450). In contrast, metaboreflex activation did not change dyspnea in patients (P = 1.000) but increased it in controls (∼100%, P < 0.001). Other metaboreflex-induced responses were similar between groups. Cold receptor activation increased ventilation similarly in both groups (P = 0.46). Patients had greater type II skeletal myocyte percentage (14%, P = 0.010), lower glutathione ratio (-34%, P = 0.015), and lower nerve growth factor (NGF) mRNA expression (-60%, P = 0.031) than controls. Therefore, COPD altered the locomotor muscle metaboreflex control of ventilation. It increased type II myocyte percentage and elicited redox imbalance, potentially producing more muscle metaboreceptor stimuli. Moreover, it decreased NGF expression, suggesting a downregulation of metabolically sensitive muscle afferents.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study's integrative physiology approach provides evidence for a specific alteration in locomotor muscle metaboreflex control of ventilation in patients with COPD. Furthermore, molecular analyses of a skeletal muscle biopsy suggest that the amount of muscle metaboreceptor stimuli derived from type II skeletal myocytes and redox imbalance overcame a downregulation of metabolically sensitive muscle afferents.
