AbstractObesity is implicated in cardiovascular disease and heart failure. When fatty acids are transported to and not adequately oxidized in cardiac cells, they accumulate, causing lipotoxicity in the heart. Since hepatic progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (Pgrmc1) suppressed de novo lipogenesis in a previous study, it was questioned whether cardiac Pgrmc1 protects against lipotoxicity. Hence, we focused on the role of cardiac Pgrmc1 in basal (Resting), glucose-dominant (Refed) and lipid-dominant high-fat diet (HFD) conditions. Pgrmc1 KO mice showed high FFA levels and low glucose levels compared to wild-type (WT) mice. Pgrmc1 KO mice presented low number of mitochondrial DNA copies in heart, and it was concomitantly observed with low expression of TCA cycle genes and oxidative phosphorylation genes. Pgrmc1 absence in heart presented low fatty acid oxidation activity in all conditions, but the production of acetyl-CoA and ATP was in pronounced suppression only in HFD condition. Furthermore, HFD Pgrmc1 KO mice resulted in high cardiac fatty acyl-CoA levels and TG level. Accordingly, HFD Pgrmc1 KO mice were prone to cardiac lipotoxicity, featuring high levels in markers of inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress, fibrosis, and heart failure. In vitro study, it was also confirmed that Pgrmc1 enhances rates of mitochondrial respiration and fatty acid oxidation. This study is clinically important because mitochondrial defects in Pgrmc1 KO mice hearts represent the late phase of cardiac failure.

Abstract Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the complications triggered by type II diabetes (T2D) (1). When free fatty acids (FFA) are abundant in insulin resistant pre-diabetic patients because of adipose lipolysis, FFA tends to move toward heart (2). Lipid accumulation can cause cardiac lipotoxicity and exacerbate DCM (3). In previous study, Pgrmc1 has been identified to associate with fatty acid synthesis (4). Therefore, we assumed that Pgrmc1 will associate with DCM. By feeding high-fat diet for 8 weeks and injecting streptozotocin (30mg/kg), T2D and DCM were induced. The lipid accumulation was exacerbated in T2D-induced Pgrmc1 KO heart, and FFA level was also high. Levels of lipid metabolic genes showed the tendency for lipid accumulation and lipotoxicity, and glycolysis was induced in T2D-induced Pgrmc1 KO heart. Though glycolysis presents higher efficiency for energy production in cardiomyopathy (5), it did not compensate the impairment of mitochondrial respiration in Pgrmc1 KO heart. High-fat diet and streptozotocin could not be the interfering factors, because suppression of fatty acid oxidation, induction of glycolysis, and impairment of mitochondrial respiration were observed similarly in post-prandial mice which were fed with normal chow. Insulin was excluded for interfering factor as cell line with serum starvation showed mitochondrial suppression and glycolytic induction in flux analyzer analysis in Pgrmc1 knockdown. Conversely, induction of fatty acid oxidation and suppression of glycolysis were observed in 72 h fasting of Pgrmc1 KO heart, suggesting the nutrition is closely associated with the metabolic modulation of Pgrmc1 on heart. This metabolic phenotype of Pgrmc1 KO heart consequently exacerbated DCM by showing high levels of fibrosis, inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and oxidative stress.

Cardiovascular-related pathologies are the single leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Previously, we found that a 5/6th nephrectomy model of CKD leads to an upregulation of miR-21-5p in the left ventricle, targeting peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α and altering the expression of numerous transcripts involved with fatty acid oxidation and glycolysis. In the present study, we evaluated the potential for knockdown or overexpression of miR-21-5p to regulate lipid content, lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial respiration in H9C2 cells. Cells were transfected with anti-miR-21-5p (40 nM), pre-miR-21-5p (20 nM), or the appropriate scrambled oligonucleotide controls before lipid treatment in culture or as part of the Agilent Seahorse XF fatty acid oxidation assay. Overexpression of miR-21-5p attenuated the lipid-induced increase in cellular lipid content, whereas suppression of miR-21-5p augmented it. The abundance of malondialdehyde, a product of lipid peroxidation, was significantly increased with lipid treatment in control cells but attenuated in pre-miR-21-5p-transfected cells. This suggests that miR-21-5p reduces oxidative stress. The cellular oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was increased in both pre-miR-21-5p- and anti-miR-21-5p-transfected cells. Levels of intracellular ATP were significantly higher in anti-mR-21-5p-transfected cells. Pre-miR-21-5p blocked additional increases in OCR in response to etomoxir and palmitic acid. Conversely, anti-miR-21-5p-transfected cells exhibited reduced OCR with both etomoxir and palmitic acid, and the glycolytic capacity was concomitantly reduced. Together, these results indicate that overexpression of miR-21-5p attenuates both lipid content and lipid peroxidation in H9C2 cells. This likely occurs by reducing cellular lipid uptake and utilization, shifting cellular metabolism toward reliance on the glycolytic pathway. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Both overexpression and suppression of miR-21-5p augment basal and maximal mitochondrial respiration. Our data suggest that reliance on glycolytic and fatty acid oxidation pathways can be modulated by the abundance of miR-21-5p within the cell. miR-21-5p regulation of mitochondrial respiration can be modulated by extracellular lipids.

Capacity Modulation

Heart failure is associated with altered cardiac metabolism, in part, due to maladaptive mechanisms, in part secondary to comorbidities such as diabetes and ischaemic heart disease. The metabolic derangements taking place in heart failure are not limited to the cardiac myocytes, but extend to skeletal muscles and the vasculature causing changes that contribute to the worsening of exercise capacity. Modulation of cardiac metabolism with partial inhibition of free fatty acid oxidation has been shown to be beneficial in patients with heart failure. At the present, the bulk of evidence for this class of drugs comes from Trimetazidine. Newer compounds partially inhibiting free fatty acid oxidation or facilitating the electron transport on the mitochondrial cristae are in early phase of their clinical development.
