Exercise Inducible Lactate Dehydrogenase B Regulates Mitochondrial Function in Skeletal Muscle.

ABSTRACT: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate, which are critical fuel metabolites of skeletal muscle particularly during exercise. However, the physiological relevance of LDH remains poorly understood. Here we show that Ldhb expression is induced by exercise in human muscle and negatively correlated with changes in intramuscular pH levels, a marker of lactate production, during isometric exercise. We found that the expression of Ldhb is regulated by exercise-induced peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? coactivator 1? (PGC-1?). Ldhb gene promoter reporter studies demonstrated that PGC-1? activates Ldhb gene expression through multiple conserved estrogen-related receptor (ERR) and myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) binding sites. Transgenic mice overexpressing Ldhb in muscle (muscle creatine kinase (MCK)-Ldhb) exhibited increased exercise performance and enhanced oxygen consumption during exercise. MCK-Ldhb muscle was shown to have enhanced mitochondrial enzyme activity and increased mitochondrial gene expression, suggesting an adaptive oxidative muscle transformation. In addition, mitochondrial respiration capacity was increased and lactate production decreased in MCK-Ldhb skeletal myotubes in culture. Together, these results identified a previously unrecognized Ldhb-driven alteration in muscle mitochondrial function and suggested a mechanism for the adaptive metabolic response induced by exercise training.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle mitochondrial adaptations induced by aerobic exercise (AE) are not fully understood. We have previously shown that AE induces mitochondrial adaptations in cardiac muscle, mediated by sympathetic stimulation. Since direct sympathetic innervation of neuromuscular junctions influences skeletal muscle homeostasis, we tested the hypothesis that β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR)-mediated sympathetic activation induces mitochondrial adaptations to AE in skeletal muscle. Male FVB mice were subjected to a single bout of AE on a treadmill (80% Vmax, 60 min) under β2-AR blockade with ICI 118,551 (ICI) or vehicle, and parameters of mitochondrial function and morphology/dynamics were evaluated. An acute bout of AE significantly increased maximal mitochondrial respiration in tibialis anterior (TA) isolated fiber bundles, which was prevented by β2-AR blockade. This increased mitochondrial function after AE was accompanied by a change in mitochondrial morphology towards fusion, associated with increased Mfn1 protein expression and activity. β2-AR blockade fully prevented the increase in Mfn1 activity and reduced mitochondrial elongation. To determine the mechanisms involved in mitochondrial modulation by β2-AR activation in skeletal muscle during AE, we used C2C12 myotubes, treated with the non-selective β-AR agonist isoproterenol (ISO) in the presence of the specific β2-AR antagonist ICI or during protein kinase A (PKA) and Gαi protein blockade. Our in vitro data show that β-AR activation significantly increases mitochondrial respiration in myotubes, and this response was dependent on β2-AR activation through a Gαs-PKA signaling cascade. In conclusion, we provide evidence for AE-induced β2-AR activation as a major mechanism leading to alterations in mitochondria function and morphology/dynamics. β2-AR signaling is thus a key-signaling pathway that contributes to skeletal muscle plasticity in response to exercise.
