AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has previously been demonstrated to phosphorylate and inactivate skeletal muscle acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), the enzyme responsible for synthesis of malonyl-CoA, an inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 and fatty acid oxidation. Contraction-induced activation of AMPK with subsequent phosphorylation/inactivation of ACC has been postulated to be responsible in part for the increase in fatty acid oxidation that occurs in muscle during exercise. These studies were designed to answer the question: Does phosphorylation of ACC by AMPK make palmitoyl-CoA a more effective inhibitor of ACC? Purified rat muscle ACC was subjected to phosphorylation by AMPK. Activity was determined on nonphosphorylated and phosphorylated ACC preparations at acetyl-CoA concentrations ranging from 2 to 500 μM and at palmitoyl-CoA concentrations ranging from 0 to 100 μM. Phosphorylation resulted in a significant decline in the substrate saturation curve at all palmitoyl-CoA concentrations. The inhibitor constant for palmitoyl-CoA inhibition of ACC was reduced from 1.7 ± 0.25 to 0.85 ± 0.13 μM as a consequence of phosphorylation. At 0.5 mM citrate, ACC activity was reduced to 13% of control values in response to the combination of phosphorylation and 10 μM palmitoyl-CoA. Skeletal muscle ACC is more potently inhibited by palmitoyl-CoA after having been phosphorylated by AMPK. This may contribute to low-muscle malonyl-CoA values and increasing fatty acid oxidation rates during long-term exercise when plasma fatty acid concentrations are elevated.

Isoproterenol increases phosphorylation of LKB, 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), enzymes involved in regulating fatty acid oxidation. However, inotropic stimulation selectively increases glucose oxidation in adult hearts. In the neonatal heart, fatty acid oxidation becomes a major energy source, while glucose oxidation remains low. This study tested the hypothesis that increased energy demand imposed by isoproterenol originates from fatty acid oxidation, secondary to increased LKB, AMPK, and ACC phosphorylation. Isolated working hearts from 7-day-old rabbits were perfused with Krebs solution (0.4 mM palmitate, 11 mM glucose, 0.5 mM lactate, and 100 mU/l insulin) with or without isoproterenol (300 nM). Isoproterenol increased myocardial O2 consumption (in J·g dry wt−1·min−1; 11.0 ± 1.4, n = 8 vs. 7.5 ± 0.8, n = 6, P < 0.05), and the phosphorylation of LKB (in arbitrary density units; 0.87 ± 0.09, n = 6 vs. 0.59 ± 0.08, n = 6, P < 0.05), AMPK (0.82 ± 0.08, n = 6 vs. 0.51 ± 0.06, n = 6, P < 0.05), and ACC-β (1.47 ± 0.14, n = 6 vs. 0.97 ± 0.07, n = 6, P < 0.05), with a concomitant decrease in malonyl-CoA levels (in nmol/g dry wt; 0.9 ± 0.9, n = 8 vs. 7.5 ± 1.3, n = 8, P < 0.05) and increase in palmitate oxidation (in nmol·g dry wt−1·min−1; 272 ± 45, n = 8 vs. 114 ± 9, n = 6, P < 0.05). Glucose and lactate oxidation were increased (in nmol·g dry wt−1·min−1; 253 ± 75, n = 8 vs. 63 ± 15, n = 9, P < 0.05 and 246 ± 43, n = 8 vs. 82 ± 11, n = 6, P < 0.05, respectively), independent of alterations in pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphorylation, but occurred secondary to a decrease in acetyl-CoA content and acetyl-CoA-to-free CoA ratio. As acetyl-CoA levels decrease in response to isoproterenol, despite an acceleration of the rates of palmitate and carbohydrate oxidation, these data suggest net rates of acetyl-CoA utilization exceed the net rates of acetyl-CoA generation.

FNDC5 is a hormone secreted by myocytes that could reduce obesity and insulin resistance, However, the exact effect of FNDC5 on glucose and lipid metabolism remain poorly identified; More importantly, the signaling pathways that mediate the metabolic effects of FNDC5 is completely unknown. Here we showed that FNDC5 stimulates β-oxidation and glucose uptake in C2C12 cells in a dose- and time-dependent fashion in vitro (n=8, all P<0.01). In vivo study revealed that FNDC5 also enhanced glucose tolerance in diabetic mice and increased the glucose uptake evidenced by increased [18F] FDG accumulation in hearts by PET scan (n=6, all P<0.05). FNDC5 decreased the expression of gluconeogenesis related molecules (PEPCK and G6Pase) and increased the phosphorylation of ACC, a key modulator of fatty-acid oxidation, both in hepatocytes and C2C12 cells (n=3, all P<0.05). In parallel with its stimulation of β-oxidation and glucose uptake, FNDC5 increased the phosphorylation of AMPK both in hepatocytes and C2C12 cells in a dose- and time-dependent fashion in vitro and in vivo. More importantly, the β-oxidation and glucose uptake, the expression of PEPCK and G6Pase and the phosphorylation of ACC induced by FNDC5 were attenuated by AMPK inhibitor in hepatocytes and C2C12 cells (P<0.05). Most importantly, the FNDC5 induced glucose uptake and phosphorylation of ACC were attenuated in AMPK-DN mice (n=6, all P<0.05). The glucose-lowering effect of FNDC5 in diabetic mice was also attenuated by AMPK inhibitor. Our data presents the direct evidence that FNDC5 stimulates glucose utilization and fatty-acid oxidation by AMPK signaling pathway, suggesting that FNDC5 be a novel pharmacological approach for type 2 diabetes.

Myocardial Substrate

We tested the hypothesis that myocardial substrate supply regulates fatty acid oxidation independent of changes in acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activities. Fatty acid oxidation was measured in isolated working rat hearts exposed to different concentrations of exogenous long-chain (0.4 or 1.2 mM palmitate) or medium-chain (0.6 or 2.4 mM octanoate) fatty acids. Fatty acid oxidation was increased with increasing exogenous substrate concentration in both palmitate and octanoate groups. Malonyl-CoA content only rose as acetyl-CoA supply from octanoate oxidation increased. The increases in octanoate oxidation and malonyl-CoA content were independent of changes in ACC and AMPK activity, except that ACC activity increased with very high acetyl-CoA supply levels. Our data suggest that myocardial substrate supply is the primary mechanism responsible for alterations in fatty acid oxidation rates under nonstressful conditions and when substrates are present at physiological concentrations. More extreme variations in substrate supply lead to changes in fatty acid oxidation by the additional involvement of intracellular regulatory pathways.

We examined the effect of the long-chain fatty acid oxidation blocker methyl palmoxirate (methyl 2-tetradecyloxiranecarboxylate, McN-3716) on glucose metabolism in conscious rats. Fasted animals [5 h with or without hyperinsulinemia (100 mU/l) and 24 h] received methyl palmoxirate (30 or 100 mg/kg body wt po) or vehicle 30 min before a euglycemic glucose clamp. Whole body and tissue-specific glucose metabolism were calculated from 2-deoxy-[3H]-glucose kinetics and accumulation. Oxidative metabolism was assessed by respiratory gas exchange in 24-h fasted animals. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activation was determined in selected tissues. Methyl palmoxirate suppressed whole body lipid oxidation by 40-50% in 24-h fasted animals, whereas carbohydrate oxidation was stimulated 8- to 10-fold. Whole body glucose utilization was not significantly affected by methyl palmoxirate under any conditions; hepatic glucose output was suppressed only in the predominantly gluconeogenic 24-h fasted animals. Methyl palmoxirate stimulated glucose uptake in heart in 24-h fasted animals [15 +/- 5 vs. 220 +/- 28 (SE) mumol x 100 g-1 x min-1], with smaller effects in 5-h fasted animals with or without hyperinsulinemia. Methyl palmoxirate induced significant activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase in heart in the basal state, but not during hyperinsulinemia. In skeletal muscles, methyl palmoxirate suppressed glucose utilization in the basal state but had no effect during hyperinsulinemia; pyruvate dehydrogenase activation in skeletal muscle was not affected by methyl palmoxirate under any conditions. The responses in skeletal muscle are consistent with the operation of a mechanism similar to the Pasteur effect.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Metabolic Behavior

The purpose of these studies was to evaluate metabolic behavior in a 4-day reperfusion model in pigs after induction of subendocardial infarction. Two groups of swine [sham and intervention (Int) groups, n = 7) and 10 hearts per group, respectively] were prepared comparably with two surgical procedures separated over 4 days. In the Int group at the time of the first surgery, coronary flow in the left anterior descending (LAD) circulation was partially restricted (by 60%) for 60 min and was then reperfused. LAD myocardium at the time of the second surgery in both groups was extracorporeally perfused aerobically (5.9 +/- 0.2 ml.min-1.g dry wt-1) for 60 min and infused by equilibrium labeling with [U-14C]-palmitate and [5-3H]glucose to estimate fatty acid oxidation and exogenous glucose utilization. During extracorporeal perfusion, regional myocardial shortening and oxygen consumption were comparable between groups despite a marginal impairment in ATP resynthesis by mitochondria (26% decrease, P < 0.071) in Int hearts and a significant decline in mitochondrial respiration (45% decrease in respiratory control rate, P < 0.008; and 41% decrease in state 3 respiration, P < 0.032) as compared with sham hearts. Fatty acid oxidation described by 14CO2 production was 34.00 +/- 4.72 mumol.h-1.g dry wt-1 (averaged from 30-60 min of perfusion) in sham hearts but was decreased (by 48%, P < 0.004) in Int hearts. This reduction in fatty acid utilization may in part be explained by declines in the observed activity of the mitochondrial membrane transporter enzyme, carnitine palmitoyltransferase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase I

Inhibition of myocardial fatty acid oxidation can improve left ventricular (LV) mechanical efficiency by increasing LV power for a given rate of myocardial energy expenditure. This phenomenon has not been assessed at high workloads in nonischemic myocardium; therefore, we subjected in vivo pig hearts to a high workload for 5 min and assessed whether blocking mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation with the carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I inhibitor oxfenicine would improve LV mechanical efficiency. In addition, the cardiac content of malonyl-CoA (an endogenous inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I) and activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (which synthesizes malonyl-CoA) were assessed. Increased workload was induced by aortic constriction and dobutamine infusion, and LV efficiency was calculated from the LV pressure-volume loop and LV energy expenditure. In untreated pigs, the increase in LV power resulted in a 2.5-fold increase in fatty acid oxidation and cardiac malonyl-CoA content but did not affect the activation state of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. The activation state of the acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibitory kinase AMP-activated protein kinase decreased by 40% with increased cardiac workload. Pretreatment with oxfenicine inhibited fatty acid oxidation by 75% and had no effect on cardiac energy expenditure but significantly increased LV power and LV efficiency (37 ± 5% vs. 26 ± 5%, P < 0.05) at high workload. In conclusion, 1) myocardial fatty acid oxidation increases with a short-term increase in cardiac workload, despite an increase in malonyl-CoA concentration, and 2) inhibition of fatty acid oxidation improves LV mechanical efficiency by increasing LV power without affecting cardiac energy expenditure.
