Using neuron-specific Sirt5 conditional knockout mice, we found that SIRT5 deficiency exacerbates TBI-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative damage, cerebral edema, and neurological deficits. SIRT5 regulates OPA1 expression through a MEF2A-dependent mechanism, thereby preserving mitochondrial structure and function and alleviating oxidative injury. The protective effects of neuronal SIRT5 overexpression were abolished in mice lacking Opa1 specifically in neurons, confirming that OPA1 is a critical downstream effector of SIRT5-mediated neuroprotection. Finally, rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG)-conjugated extracellular vesicles loaded with SIRT5 mRNA demonstrated both efficacy and safety in preclinical TBI models.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Innovation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study identifies the USP7\/TRIM21-SIRT5-MEF2A-OPA1 axis as a novel regulatory cascade that governs the transition between adaptive and maladaptive mitochondrial remodeling after TBI, a concept with broad implications for acute brain injury and neurodegeneration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study defines the USP7\/TRIM21-SIRT5-MEF2A-OPA1 axis as a novel regulatory cascade that controls mitochondrial remodeling after TBI.
