Oxygen homeostasis is an essential regulation system for cell energy production and survival. The oxygen-sensitive subunit of the hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) complex is a key protein of this system. In this work, we analyzed mouse and rat HIF-1 protein and mRNA expression in parallel to energetic metabolism variations within skeletal muscle. Two physiological situations were studied using HIF-1–specific Western blotting and semiquantitative RT-PCR. First, we compared HIF-1 expression between the predominantly oxidative soleus muscle and three predominantly glycolytic muscles. Second, HIF-1 expression was assessed in an energy metabolism switch model that was based on muscle disuse. These two in vivo situations were compared with the in vitro HIF-1 induction by CoCl₂ treatment on C₂C₁₂ mouse muscle cells. HIF-1 mRNA and protein levels were found to be constitutively higher in the more glycolytic muscles compared with the more oxidative muscles. Our results gave rise to the hypothesis that the oxygen homeostasis regulation system depends on the fiber type.
