PG - 112-121 LID - 10.3164/jcbn.21-163 [doi] AB - Dietary beta-carotene induces muscle hypertrophy and prevents muscle atrophy in red slow-twitch soleus muscles, but not in white fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles and gastrocnemius muscles. However, it remains unclear why these beneficial effects of beta-carotene are elicited in soleus muscles. To address this issue, we focused on carotenoid transporters in skeletal muscles. In mice, Cd36 mRNA levels were higher in red muscle than in white muscle. The siRNA-mediated knockdown of CD36 decreased beta-carotene uptake in C2C12 myotubes. In soleus muscles, CD36 knockdown inhibited beta-carotene-induced increase in muscle mass. Intravenous injection of the hypoxia marker pimonidazole produced more pimonidazole-bound proteins in soleus muscles than in EDL muscles, and the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) alpha protein level was higher in soleus muscles than in EDL muscles. In C2C12 myotubes, hypoxia increased the expression of CD36 and HIF-1alpha at the protein and mRNA levels, and HIF-1alpha knockdown reduced hypoxia-induced increase in Cd36 mRNA level. In soleus muscles, HIF-1alpha knockdown reduced Cd36 mRNA level. These results indicate that CD36 is predominantly involved in beta-carotene-induced increase in soleus muscle mass of mice. Furthermore, we demonstrate that CD36 expression depends on HIF-1alpha in the soleus muscles of mice, even under normal physiological conditions. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 JCBN.
