Sepsis is a severe systemic inflammatory disorder that rapidly activates the sympathetic nervous system to enhance catecholamine secretion from postganglionic sympathetic neurons and adrenal chromaffin cells. Although an increase in preganglionic drive to postganglionic sympathetic tissues has been known to contribute to this response for quite some time, only recently was it determined that sepsis also has direct effects on adrenal chromaffin cell Ca2+signaling and epinephrine release. In the present study, we characterized the direct effects of sepsis on postganglionic sympathetic neuron function. Using the endotoxemia model of sepsis in mice, we found that almost a quarter of postganglionic neurons acquired the ability to fire spontaneous action potentials, which was absent in cells from control mice. Spontaneously firing neurons possessed significantly lower rheobases and fired a greater number of action potentials at twice the rheobase compared to neurons from control mice. Sepsis did not significantly affect voltage-gated Ca2+currents. However, global Ca2+signaling was enhanced in postganglionic neurons isolated from 1 to 24 h endotoxemic mice. A similar increase in the amplitude of high-K+-stimulated Ca2+transients was observed during the cecal ligation and puncture model of sepsis. The enhanced excitability and Ca2+signaling produced during sepsis likely amplify the effect of increased preganglionic drive on norepinephrine release from postganglionic neurons. This is important, as sympathetic neurons are integral to the anti-inflammatory autonomic reflex that is activated during sepsis.
