AimMuscle-type carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1b) plays an important role in skeletal muscle mitochondrial fatty acid -oxidation. A myocyte-specific enhancer factor (MEF2) site that binds MEF2A in the promoter of Cpt1b has been identified. The aim of this study is to determine whether Cpt1b expression is regulated by MEF2 in response to exercise training. MethodsTwelve male, 14-week-old C57BL/6 mice underwent 6weeks of treadmill exercise at 12mmin(-1), for 60minday(-1), 5daysweek(-1). Quadriceps muscles were analysed by real-time PCR, Western blot, chromatin immunoprecipitation. ResultsThe binding of MEF2A to the Cpt1b promoter was elevated in the quadriceps muscle of mice after 6-week aerobic exercise intervention. The repressor partner of MEF2, histone deacetylase 5 (HDAC5), binding to the Cpt1b promoter was decreased by exercise training. In C2C12 myoblast, MEF2A overexpression increased the Cpt1b mRNA expression and the Cpt1b promoter transcriptional activity, which were suppressed by HDAC5. Moreover, exercise training induced MEF2A hyperacetylation, which is strongly associated with its enhanced DNA-binding ability. The binding of both HDAC5 and histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) to MEF2A was decreased by exercise training. Overexpression of HDAC5 decreased exogenous MEF2A acetylation level with an increased binding of endogenous HDAC3 to MEF2A. Finally, the phosphorylation levels of HDAC5 Ser259 and Ser498 were increased by exercise training. Exercise training decreased the abundance of HDAC5 in the nucleus while increasing its abundance in the cytoplasm. ConclusionOur results indicated that exercise-induced CPT1b expression was at least in part mediated by HDAC5/MEF2A interaction.
