Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcription factors involved in the regulation of numerous metabolic processes. The PPARα isotype is abundant in liver and activated by fasting. However, it is not very clear what other nutritional conditions activate PPARα. To examine whether PPARα mediates the effects of chronic high-fat feeding, wild-type and PPARα null mice were fed a low-fat diet (LFD) or high-fat diet (HFD) for 26 wk. HFD and PPARα deletion independently increased liver triglycerides. Furthermore, in wild-type mice HFD was associated with a significant increase in hepatic PPARα mRNA and plasma free fatty acids, leading to a PPARα-dependent increase in expression of PPARα marker genes CYP4A10 and CYP4A14. Microarray analysis revealed that HFD increased hepatic expression of characteristic PPARα target genes involved in fatty acid oxidation in a PPARα-dependent manner, although to a lesser extent than fasting or Wy14643. Microarray analysis also indicated functional compensation for PPARα in PPARα null mice. Remarkably, in PPARα null mice on HFD, PPARγ mRNA was 20-fold elevated compared with wild-type mice fed a LFD, reaching expression levels of PPARα in normal mice. Adenoviral overexpression of PPARγ in liver indicated that PPARγ can up-regulate genes involved in lipo/adipogenesis but also characteristic PPARα targets involved in fatty acid oxidation. It is concluded that 1) PPARα and PPARα-signaling are activated in liver by chronic high-fat feeding; and 2) PPARγ may compensate for PPARα in PPARα null mice on HFD.

Normal myocardium adapts to increase of nutritional fatty acid supply by upregulation of regulatory proteins of the fatty acid oxidation pathway. Because advanced heart failure is associated with reduction of regulatory proteins of fatty acid oxidation, we hypothesized that failing myocardium may not be able to adapt to increased fatty acid intake and therefore undergo lipid accumulation, potentially aggravating myocardial dysfunction. We determined the effect of high-fat diet in transgenic mice with overexpression of angiotensinogen in the myocardium (TG1306/R1). TG1306/R1 mice develop ANG II-mediated left ventricular hypertrophy, and at one year of age approximately half of the mice present heart failure associated with reduced expression of regulatory proteins of fatty acid oxidation and reduced palmitate oxidation during ex vivo working heart perfusion. Hypertrophied hearts from TG1306/R1 mice without heart failure adapted to high-fat feeding, similarly to hearts from wild-type mice, with upregulation of regulatory proteins of fatty acid oxidation and enhancement of palmitate oxidation. There was no myocardial lipid accumulation or contractile dysfunction. In contrast, hearts from TG1306/R1 mice presenting heart failure were unable to respond to high-fat feeding by upregulation of fatty acid oxidation proteins and enhancement of palmitate oxidation. This resulted in accumulation of triglycerides and ceramide in the myocardium, and aggravation of contractile dysfunction. In conclusion, hearts with ANG II-induced contractile failure have lost the ability to enhance fatty acid oxidation in response to increased fatty acid supply. The ensuing accumulation of lipid compounds may play a role in the observed aggravation of contractile dysfunction.

Cardiac Lipotoxicity

In the obese and diabetic heart, an imbalance between fatty acid uptake and fatty acid oxidation (FAO) promotes the development of cardiac lipotoxicity. We previously showed that cardiac specific deletion of acetyl CoA carboxylase 2 (ACC2) was effective in increasing myocardial FAO while maintaining normal cardiac function and energetics. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that ACC2 deletion in an adult heart would prevent the cardiac lipotoxic phenotype in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. ACC2 flox/flox (CON) and ACC2 flox/flox-MerCreMer+ (iKO) after tamoxifen injection were subjected to a high fat diet (HFD) for 24 weeks. HFD induced similar body weight gain and glucose intolerance in CON and iKO. In isolated Langendorff-perfused heart experiments, HFD feeding increased FAO 1.6-fold in CON mice which was increased to 2.5-fold in iKO mice compared with CON on chow diet. Fractional shortening was significantly decreased in CON-HFD (32.8±2.8% vs. 39.2±3.2%, p< 0.05, n=5-6), but preserved in iKO-HFD mice (42.8±2.3%, vs. 38.5±1.4%, n=6), compared to respective chow fed controls. Diastolic function, assessed by E’/A’ ratio using tissue Doppler imaging, was significantly decreased in CON-HFD mice (1.11±0.08 vs. 0.91±0.09, p<0.05 n=5-6), while no difference was observed in iKO-HFD compared to iKO-chow (1.10±0.03 vs. 1.09±0.04, n=6). Heart weight /Tibia length ratio was significantly higher in CON than iKO mice after HFD feeding (7.19±0.22 vs. 6.47±0.28, p<0.05, n=6). Furthermore, HFD induced mitochondria super complex II, III and V instability, which was attenuated in iKO-HFD mice. These data indicate that elevated myocardial FAO per se does not cause the development of cardiac dysfunction in obese animals. In fact, enhancing FAO via ACC2 deletion prevents HFD induced cardiac dysfunction and attenuates pathological hypertrophy. These effects may be mediated, in part, by maintenance of mitochondrial integrity. Taken together, our findings suggest that promoting cardiac FAO is an effective strategy to resist the development of cardiac lipotoxicity during diet-induced obesity.

Chemically modified starches (CMS) are RS4-type resistant starch, which shows a reduced availability, as well as high-amylose corn starch (HACS, RS2 type), compared with the corresponding unmodified starch. Previous studies have shown that RS4 increases fecal excretion of bile acids and reduces zinc and iron absorption in rats. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary RS4 supplementation on the development of diet-induced obesity in mice. Weight- and age-matched male C57BL/6J mice were fed for 24 wk on a high-fat diet containing unmodified starch, hydroxypropylated distarch phosphate (RS4), or HACS (RS2). Those fed the RS4 diet had significantly lower body weight and visceral fat weight than those fed either unmodified starch or the RS2 diet. Those fed the RS4 diet for 4 wk had a significantly higher hepatic fatty acid oxidation capacity and related gene expression and lower blood insulin than those fed either unmodified starch or the RS2 diet. Indirect calorimetry showed that the RS4 group exhibited higher energy expenditure and fat utilization compared with the RS2 group. When gavaged with fat (trioleate), RS4 stimulated a lower postprandial glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP; incretin) response than RS2. Higher blood GIP levels induced by chronic GIP administration reduced fat utilization in high-fat diet-fed mice. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with RS4-type resistant starch attenuates high-fat diet-induced obesity more effectively than RS2 in C57BL/6J mice, which may be attributable to lower postprandial GIP and increased fat catabolism in the liver.

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.

Cardiac Contractile Dysfunction

Obesity and diabetes are associated with increased fatty acid availability in excess of muscle fatty acid oxidation capacity. This mismatch is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiac contractile dysfunction and also in the development of skeletal-muscle insulin resistance. We tested the hypothesis that ‘Western’ and high fat diets differentially cause maladaptation of cardiac- and skeletal-muscle fatty acid oxidation, resulting in cardiac contractile dysfunction. Wistar rats were fed on low fat, ‘Western’ or high fat (10, 45 or 60% calories from fat respectively) diet for acute (1 day to 1 week), short (4–8 weeks), intermediate (16–24 weeks) or long (32–48 weeks) term. Oleate oxidation in heart muscle ex vivo increased with high fat diet at all time points investigated. In contrast, cardiac oleate oxidation increased with Western diet in the acute, short and intermediate term, but not in the long term. Consistent with fatty acid oxidation maladaptation, cardiac power decreased with long-term Western diet only. In contrast, soleus muscle oleate oxidation (ex vivo) increased only in the acute and short term with either Western or high fat feeding. Fatty acid-responsive genes, including PDHK4 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4) and CTE1 (cytosolic thioesterase 1), increased in heart and soleus muscle to a greater extent with feeding a high fat diet compared with a Western diet. In conclusion, we implicate inadequate induction of a cassette of fatty acid-responsive genes, and impaired activation of fatty acid oxidation, in the development of cardiac dysfunction with Western diet.

Fenofibrate activates not only peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα) but also adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK-mediated cellular responses protect kidney from high-fat diet (HFD)-induced injury, and autophagy resulting from AMPK activation has been regarded as a stress-response mechanism. Thus the present study examined the role of AMPK and autophagy in the renotherapeutic effects of fenofibrate. C57BL/6J mice were divided into three groups: normal diet (ND), HFD, and HFD + fenofibrate (HFD + FF). Fenofibrate was administered 4 wk after the initiation of the HFD when renal injury was initiated. Mouse proximal tubule cells (mProx24) were used to clarify the role of AMPK. Feeding mice with HFD for 12 wk induced insulin resistance and kidney injury such as albuminuria, glomerulosclerosis, tubular injury, and inflammation, which were effectively inhibited by fenofibrate. In addition, fenofibrate treatment resulted in the activation of renal AMPK, upregulation of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) enzymes and antioxidants, and induction of autophagy in the HFD mice. In mProx24 cells, fenofibrate activated AMPK in a concentration-dependent manner, upregulated FAO enzymes and antioxidants, and induced autophagy, all of which were inhibited by treatment of compound C, an AMPK inhibitor. Fenofibrate-induced autophagy was also significantly blocked by AMPKα1 siRNA but not by PPARα siRNA. Collectively, these results demonstrate that delayed treatment with fenofibrate has a therapeutic effect on HFD-induced kidney injury, at least in part, through the activation of AMPK and induction of subsequent downstream effectors: autophagy, FAO enzymes, and antioxidants.
