Kaempferol (KMP) has numerous important biological functions, and we recently showed that it remarkably increased intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content in C₂C₁₂ myotubes under hypoxic conditions. Since intracellular ATP is generated by aerobic energy metabolism or anaerobic glycolysis, hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) has been shown to be associated with metabolic remodeling and causes metabolic shift from aerobic energy metabolism to anaerobic glycolysis in response to hypoxic conditions. Here, we investigate the effects of KMP under hypoxic conditions on the stabilization of HIF-1α in C₂C₁₂ myotubes and its underlying molecular mechanisms. Constitutive HIF-1α protein expression was observed in C₂C₁₂ myotubes, and its expression under hypoxic conditions was remarkably suppressed by KMP by reducing its stability; thus, resulting in an increase in ATP content. Furthermore, KMP strikingly increased the ubiquitination of HIF-1α and promoted its degradation via the ubiquitin proteasome system. Inhibition of HIF-1α by KMP resulted in the abrogation of the expression of glycolytic enzymes such as lactate dehydrogenase A and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isozyme 1. In addition, the metabolome profiling showed that KMP promoted oxidative energy production, while the mitochondrial complex activity assay indicated that KMP increased the activity of mitochondrial complex IV. Finally, we showed that KMP inhibited HIF-1α expression and increased intracellular ATP content in the soleus muscle of rats. Taken together, these results suggest that KMP increases intracellular ATP content under hypoxic conditions by suppressing the HIF-1α stabilization and/or by enhancing the mitochondrial complex IV activity in muscle.
