We recently reported that constitutive ablation of cyclophilin-D (Cyp-D) in mice reduces oxygen consumption (VO2) while paradoxically increasing exercise endurance, thereby demonstrating increased O2utilization efficiency. This response was associated with augmented glucose uptake and glucose utilization, in part mediated through adenosine monophosphate-activated kinase signaling. We now hypothesized that Cyp-D knock-out (KO) mice might also exhibit improved cognitive-behavioral performance and that these favorable adaptive responses may persist under hypoxic conditions. We therefore assessed under normoxic (20.9% O2, simulating ground O2levels) and hypoxic (8% O2, simulating 7600 m altitude O2levels) conditions exercise capacity and cognitive-behavioral performance. We used a treadmill test to assess exercise capacity, a pole-test to assess agility, an elevated-plus-maze test to assess anti-anxiety, and a passive avoidance test to assess learning and memory retention. Compared to wild type, Cyp-D KO mice showed comparable treadmill work under normoxia (48 ± 12vs47 ± 9 Joules) but increased treadmill work (12 ± 1vs8 ± 1 Joules;p= 0.02) under hypoxia. Cyp-D KO mice displayed increased pole-descending time (17 ± 3vs8 ± 2 s;p≤ 0.05) under normoxia but shorter pole-descending time (21 ± 3vs37 ± 4 s;p≤ 0.01) under hypoxia. In addition, the Cyp-D KO mice demonstrated increased elevated plus-maze open arm time (91 ± 31vs23 ± 12 s;p≤ 0.05) under hypoxia and increased latency to enter dark chamber (261 ± 23vs185 ± 42 s;p≤ 0.05) under normoxia. Thus, our experiments showed that under normoxia Cyp-D KO mice displayed anti-anxiety behavior and improved learning and memory retention. Under hypoxia, Cyp-D KO mice displayed increased exercise capacity, increased agility, and increased anti-anxiety consistent with our previously reported findings of increased O2utilization efficiency. Identifying interventions to elicit these effects could be beneficial in a myriad of physiological and clinical conditions in which increasing O2utilization efficiency would be advantageous.
