Objective. The regulatory mechanisms responsible for acute exercise-induced expression of monocarboxylate transporters MCT1 and MCT4 mRNA in skeletal muscle remain unclear. 5'-adenosine-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key signaling molecule that regulates gene expression at the mRNA level. We examined whether AMPK activation is involved in acute exercise-induced expression of MCT1 and MCT4 mRNA in fast-twitch muscle.Materials/Methods. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to an acute bout of either 5 min high-intensity intermittent swimming (HIS) or 6-h low-intensity prolonged swimming (LIS). The effects of acute. exercise on the phosphorylation of AMPK (p-AMPK), calcium/calmodulin pendent kinase II (p-CaMKII), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38MAPK), and MCTs mRNA were analyzed in vivo. To observe the direct effects of AMPK activation on MCTs mRNA, the effects of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR), caffeine, and dantrolene were analyzed in vitro using an isolated muscle incubation model.Results. The p-AMPK increased in response to both HIS and US, although the p-CaMKII and p-p38MAPK were increased only following HIS. Irrespective of exercise intensity, MCT1 and MCT4 mRNA was also transiently upregulated by both HIS and LIS. Direct exposure of the epitrochlearis muscle to 0.5 mmol/L AICAR or 1 mmol/L caffeine, which activated p-AMPK increased both MCT1 and MCT4 mRNA levels. When pAMPK was inhibited by dantrolene, neither MCT1 nor MCT4 mRNA was increased.Conclusion. These results suggest that acute exercise-induced increases in MCT1 and MCT4 mRNA expression may be possibly mediated by AMPK activation, at least in part in fast-twitch muscle.
