Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, contributes to high morbidity and mortality in the older population. Regular exercise is necessary to avoid the initiation and progression of sarcopenia, in which the underlying molecular mechanism is still not clear. Our data revealed that the outcomes induced by sarcopenia, including muscle mass and strength loss, decreased cross-sectional area of gastrocnemius fiber, chronic inflammation, and increased dysfunctional mitochondria, were reversed by regulation exercise. Knockout or silencing of Sestrin2 (Sesn2) resulted in imbalanced mitochondrial fusion and fission, mitochondrial biogenesis, and mitophagy damage in vivo and in vitro, which was attenuated by aerobic exercise or overexpression of Sesn2. Moreover, we found that the effects of Sesn2 on mitochondrial function are dependent on AMP-activated protein kinase α2 (AMPKα2). This study indicates that aerobic exercise alleviates the negative effects resulting from sarcopenia via the Sesn2/AMPKα2 pathway and provides new insights into the molecular mechanism by which the Sesn2/AMPKα2 signaling axis mediates the beneficial impact of exercise on sarcopenia.
