The Impact

Increased fatty acid (FA) flux and intracellular lipid accumulation (steatosis) give rise to cardiac lipotoxicity in both pathological and physiological conditions. Since hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) contributes to intracellular lipolysis in adipose tissue and heart, we investigated the impact of HSL disruption on cardiac energy metabolism in response to fasting and refeeding. HSL-knockout (KO) mice and wild-type (WT) littermates were fasted for 24 h, followed by ∼6 h of refeeding. Plasma FA concentration in WT mice was elevated twofold with fasting, whereas KO mice lacked this elevation, resulting in twofold lower cardiac FA uptake compared with WT mice. Echocardiography showed that fractional shortening was 15% decreased during fasting in WT mice and was associated with steatosis, whereas both of these changes were absent in KO mice. Compared with Langendorff-perfused hearts isolated from fasted WT mice, the isolated KO hearts also displayed higher contractile function and a blunted response to FA. Although cardiac glucose uptake in KO mice was comparable with WT mice under all conditions tested, cardiac VLDL uptake and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity were twofold higher in KO mice during fasting. The KO hearts showed undetectable activity of neutral cholesteryl esterase and 40% lower non-LPL triglyceride lipase activity compared with WT hearts in refed conditions accompanied by overt steatosis, normal cardiac function, and increased mRNA expression of adipose differentiation-related protein. Thus, the dissociation between cardiac steatosis and functional sequelae observed in HSL-KO mice suggests that excess FA influx, rather than steatosis per se, appears to play an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiac lipotoxicity.

The Impact

Dramatic maturational changes in cardiac energy metabolism occur in the newborn period, with a shift from glycolysis to fatty acid oxidation. Acetylation and succinylation of lysyl residues are novel posttranslational modifications involved in the control of cardiac energy metabolism. We investigated the impact of changes in protein acetylation/succinylation on the maturational changes in energy metabolism of 1-, 7-, and 21-day-old rabbit hearts. Cardiac fatty acid β-oxidation rates increased in 21-day vs. 1- and 7-day-old hearts, whereas glycolysis and glucose oxidation rates decreased in 21-day-old hearts. The fatty acid oxidation enzymes, long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCAD) and β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (β-HAD), were hyperacetylated with maturation, positively correlated with their activities and fatty acid β-oxidation rates. This alteration was associated with increased expression of the mitochondrial acetyltransferase, general control of amino acid synthesis 5 like 1 (GCN5L1), since silencing GCN5L1 mRNA in H9c2 cells significantly reduced acetylation and activity of LCAD and β-HAD. An increase in mitochondrial ATP production rates with maturation was associated with the decreased acetylation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α, a transcriptional regulator for mitochondrial biogenesis. In addition, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, hexokinase, and phosphoglycerate mutase expression declined postbirth, whereas acetylation of these glycolytic enzymes increased. Phosphorylation rather than acetylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) increased in 21-day-old hearts, accounting for the low glucose oxidation postbirth. A maturational increase was also observed in succinylation of PDH and LCAD. Collectively, our data are the first suggesting that acetylation and succinylation of the key metabolic enzymes in newborn hearts play a crucial role in cardiac energy metabolism with maturation.

Introduction: Diabetic Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major cause of death in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Alterations in cardiac energy metabolism including increased fatty acid oxidation rates and reduced glucose oxidation rates are key contributing factors to the development of DCM. Studies have shown that Aldose Reductase (AR), an enzyme activated under hyperglycemic conditions, can modulate myocardial glucose and fatty acid oxidation, and promotes cardiac dysfunction. Hypothesis: Pharmacological inhibition of AR using a next-generation inhibitor AT-001, can mitigate DCM in mice by modulating cardiac energy metabolism and improving cardiac efficiency. Methods: Male human AR overexpressing (hAR-Tg) and C57BL/6J (Control) mice were subjected to experimental T2D (high-fat diet [60% kcal from lard] for 10-wk with a single intraperitoneal streptozotocin injection of 75 mg/kg) and treated for the last 3-wk with AT-001 (40mg/kg/day) or vehicle via oral gavage. Cardiac energy metabolism and in vivo cardiac function were assessed via isolated working heart perfusions and ultrasound echocardiography, respectively. Results: AT-001 treatment significantly improved cardiac energetics in a murine model of DCM (hAR-Tg mice with T2D). Particularly, AT-001-treated mice exhibited decreased cardiac fatty acid oxidation rates compared to the vehicle-treated mice (342 ± 53 vs 964 ± 130 nmol/min/g dry wt.). Concurrently, there was a significant decrease in cardiac oxygen consumption in the AT-001-treated compared to the vehicle-treated mice (41 ± 12 vs 60 ± 11 μmol/min/g dry wt.), suggesting increased cardiac efficiency. Furthermore, treatment with AT-001 prevented cardiac structural and functional abnormalities present in DCM, including diastolic dysfunction as reflected by an increase in the tissue Doppler E’/A’ ratio and decrease in E/E’ ratio. Moreover, AT-001 treatment prevented cardiac hypertrophy as reflected by a decrease in LV mass in AT-001-treated mice. Conclusions: AR inhibition with AT-001 prevents cardiac structural and functional abnormalities in a mouse model of DCM, and normalizes cardiac energetics by shifting cardiac metabolism towards a non-diabetic metabolic state.
