Gene expression in skeletal muscle fibers is regulated by innervation and intrinsic fiber properties. To determine the mechanism of repression of slow MyHC2 expression in innervated fast pectoralis major (PM) fibers, we investigated the function of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAchR) and Gαq. Both mAchR and Gαq are abundant in medial adductor (MA) and PM fibers, and mAchR and Gαq interact in these fibers. Whereas innervation of PM fibers was insufficient to induce slow MyHC2 expression, inhibition of mAchR activity with atropine in innervated PM fibers induced slow MyHC2 expression. Increased Gαq activity repressed slow MyHC2 expression to nondetectable levels in innervated MA fibers. Reduced mAchR activity decreased PKC activity in PM fibers, and increased Gαq activity increased PKC activity in PM and MA fibers. Decreased PKC activity in atropine-treated innervated PM fibers correlated with slow MyHC2 expression. These data suggest that slow MyHC2 repression in innervated fast PM fibers is mediated by cell signaling involving mAchRs, Gαq, and PKC.
