Skeletal muscle differentiation involves activation of quiescent satellite cells to proliferate, differentiate and fuse to form new myofibers; this requires coordination of myogenic transcription factors. Myogenic transcription is tightly regulated by various intracellular signaling pathways, which include members of the protein kinase D (PKD) family. PKD is a family of serine-threonine kinases that regulate gene expression, protein secretion, cell proliferation, differentiation and inflammation. PKD is a unique PKC family member that shares distant sequence homology to calcium-regulated kinases and plays an important role in muscle physiology. In this report, we show that class I histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition, and in particular HDAC8 inhibition, attenuated PKD phosphorylation in skeletal C2C12 myoblasts in response to phorbol ester, angiotensin II and dexamethasone signaling independent of changes in total PKD protein expression. As class I HDACs and PKD signaling are requisite for myocyte differentiation, these data suggest that HDAC8 functions as a potential feedback regulator of PKD phosphorylation to control myogenic gene expression.
