Abstract The decline in fat oxidation at higher power outputs of exercise is a complex interaction between several mechanisms; however, the influence of mitochondrial bioenergetics in this process remains elusive. Therefore, using permeabilized muscle fibers from mouse skeletal muscle, we aimed to determine if acute exercise altered mitochondrial sensitivity to (1) adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), or (2) carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I) independent (palmitoylcarnitine, PC) and dependent [palmitoyl-CoA (P-CoA), malonyl-CoA (M-CoA), and l-carnitine] substrates, in an intensity-dependent manner. As the apparent ADP Km increased to a similar extent following low (LI) and high (HI) intensity exercise compared with sedentary (SED) animals, and Pi sensitivity was unaltered by exercise, regulation of phosphate provision likely does not contribute to the well-established intensity-dependent shift in substrate utilization. Mitochondrial sensitivity to PC and P-CoA was not influenced by exercise, while M-CoA sensitivity was attenuated similarly following LI and HI. In contrast, CPT-I sensitivity to l-carnitine was only altered following HI, as HI exercise attenuated l-carnitine sensitivity by ∼40%. Moreover, modeling the in vivo concentrations of l-carnitine and P-CoA during exercise suggests that CPT-I flux is ∼25% lower following HI, attributed equally to reductions in l-carnitine content and l-carnitine sensitivity. Altogether, these data further implicate CPT-I flux as a key event influencing metabolic interactions during exercise, as a decline in l-carnitine sensitivity in addition to availability at higher power outputs could impair mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation.

1. The CoA and carnitine esters of 2-bromopalmitate are extremely powerful and specific inhibitors of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. 2. 2-Bromopalmitoyl-CoA, added as such or formed from 2-bromopalmitate, inhibits the carnitine-dependent oxidation of palmitate or palmitoyl-CoA, but not the oxidation of palmitoylcarnitine, by intact liver mitochondria. 3. 2-Bromopalmitoylcarnitine inhibits the oxidation of palmitoylcarnitine as well as that of palmitate or palmitoyl-CoA. It has no effect on succinate oxidation, but inhibits that of pyruvate, 2-oxoglutarate or hexanoate; however, the oxidation of these substrates (but not of palmitate, palmitoyl-CoA or palmitoyl-carnitine) is restored by carnitine. 4. In damaged mitochondria, added 2-bromopalmitoyl-CoA does inhibit palmitoylcarnitine oxidation; pyruvate oxidation is unaffected by the inhibitor alone, but is impaired if palmitoylcarnitine is subsequently added. 5. The findings have been interpreted as follows. 2-Bromopalmitoyl-CoA inactivates (in a carnitine-dependent manner) a pool of carnitine palmitoyltransferase which is accessible to external acyl-CoA. This results in inhibition of palmitate or palmitoyl-CoA oxidation. A second pool of carnitine palmitoyltransferase, inaccessible to added acyl-CoA in intact mitochondria, can generate bromopalmitoyl-CoA within the matrix from external 2-bromopalmitoylcarnitine; this reaction is reversible. Such internal 2-bromopalmitoyl-CoA inactivates long-chain β-oxidation (as does added 2-bromopalmitoyl-CoA if the mitochondria are damaged) and its formation also sequesters intramitochondrial CoA. Since this CoA is shared by pyruvate and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenases, the oxidation of their substrates is depressed by 2-bromopalmitoylcarnitine, unless free carnitine is available to act as a ‘sink’ for long-chain acyl groups. 6. These effects are compared with those reported for other inhibitors of fatty acid oxidation.

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT-I) catalyses the rate-determining step in mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation. The enzyme has two cognate structural genes that are preferentially expressed in liver (α) or fat and muscle (β). We hypothesized the existence of additional isoforms in heart to account for unique kinetic characteristics of enzyme activity in this tissue. Hybridization and PCR screening of a human cardiac cDNA library revealed the expression of two novel CPT-I isoforms generated by alternative splicing of the CPT-Iβ transcript, in addition to the β and α cDNA species previously described. Ribonuclease protection and reverse transcriptase-mediated PCR assays confirmed the presence of mRNA species of each splicing variant in heart, skeletal muscle and liver, with differing relative concentrations in the tissues. The novel splicing variants omit exons or utilize a cryptic splice donor site within an exon. Deduced polypeptide sequences of the novel enzymes include omissions in the region of putative membrane-spanning and malonyl-CoA regulatory domains compared with the previously described CPT-Is, implying that the encoded enzymes will exhibit unique features with respect to outer mitochondrial membrane topology and response to physiological and pharmacological inhibitors.

Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase I

The sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I to inhibition by 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxylate was decreased markedly in liver mitochondria isolated from either 48 h-starved or streptozotocin-diabetic rats. These treatments of the rat also decreased the sensitivity of fatty acid oxidation by isolated hepatocytes to inhibition by this compound. Furthermore, incubation of hepatocytes prepared from fed rats with N6O2′-dibutyryl cyclic AMP also decreased the sensitivity, whereas incubation of hepatocytes prepared from starved rats with lactate plus pyruvate had the opposite effect on 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxylate inhibition of fatty acid oxidation. The sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I of mitochondria to 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxylate increased in a time-dependent manner, as previously reported for malonyl-CoA. Likewise, oleoyl-CoA activated carnitine palmitoyltransferase I in a time-dependent manner and prevented the sensitization by 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxylate. Increased exogenous carnitine caused a moderate increase in fatty acid oxidation by hepatocytes under some conditions and a decreased 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxylate inhibition of fatty acid oxidation at low oleate concentration, without decreasing the difference in 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxylate inhibition between fed- and starved-rat hepatocytes. Time-dependent changes in the conformation of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I or the membrane environment may be involved in differences among nutritional states in 4-hydroxyphenylglyoxylate-sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I.

The enzyme targets for chlorpromazine inhibition of rat liver peroxisomal and mitochondrial oxidations of fatty acids were studied. Effects of chlorpromazine on total fatty acyl-CoA synthetase activity, on both the first and the third steps of peroxisomal beta-oxidation, on the entry of fatty acyl-CoA esters into the peroxisome and on catalase activity, which allows breakdown of the H2O2 generated during the acyl-CoA oxidase step, were analysed. On all these metabolic processes, chlorpromazine was found to have no inhibitory action. Conversely, peroxisomal carnitine octanoyltransferase activity was depressed by 0.2-1 mM-chlorpromazine, which also inhibits mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity in all conditions in which these enzyme reactions are assayed. Different patterns of inhibition by the drug were, however, demonstrated for both these enzyme activities. Inhibitory effects of chlorpromazine on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase activity were also described. Inhibitions of both cytochrome c oxidase and carnitine palmitoyltransferase are proposed to explain the decreased mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation with 0.4-1.0 mM-chlorpromazine reported by Leighton, Persico & Necochea [(1984) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 120, 505-511], whereas depression by the drug of carnitine octanoyltransferase activity is presented as the factor responsible for the decreased peroxisomal beta-oxidizing activity described by the above workers.

Rat hepatic mitochondrial function, including oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid oxidative capacity, kinetic parameters of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I), and sensitivity of CPT I to malonyl-CoA inhibition were studied in vitro in isolated mitochondria following Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The hepatic mitochondrial CPT I in LPS-treated rats showed a lower apparent maximum velocity (Vmax) for palmitoyl-CoA and Ki for malonyl-CoA without changes in apparent Km for palmitoyl-CoA. The rate of oxygen consumption or end-product formation of palmitoyl-L-carnitine and octanoate was not altered, but the rate of CPT I-dependent palmitoyl-CoA (plus L-carnitine) oxidation was reduced by LPS, when acetyl-CoA produced via beta-oxidation was directed toward citrate. When acetyl-CoA was directed to acetoacetate, the oxygen consumption rates of palmitoyl-L-carnitine and palmitoyl-CoA (plus L-carnitine) were decreased by LPS, although mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase activity was not altered. These results indicate that hepatic mitochondria isolated from LPS-treated rats show lower ketogenic and long-chain acyl-CoA oxidative capacity than those of fasted controls, and inhibition of ketogenesis is elicited at a site distal to CPT I in addition to reduction in CPT I activity.

To examine the regulation of hepatic acetogenesis in neonatal swine, carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) activity was measured in the presence of varying palmitoyl-CoA (substrate) and malonyl-CoA (inhibitor) concentrations, and [1-14C]-palmitate oxidation was simultaneously measured. Accumulation rates of 14C-labeled acetate, ketone bodies, and citric acid cycle intermediates within the acid-soluble products were determined using radio-HPLC. Measurements were conducted in mitochondria isolated from newborn, 24-h (fed or fasted), and 5-mo-old pigs. Acetate rather than ketone bodies was the predominant radiolabeled product, and its production increased twofold with increasing fatty acid oxidation during the first 24-h suckling period. The rate of acetogenesis was directly proportional to CPT I activity. The high activity of CPT I in 24-h-suckling piglets was not attributable to an increase in CPT I gene expression, but rather to a large decrease in the sensitivity of CPT I to malonyl-CoA inhibition, which offset a developmental decrease in affinity of CPT I for palmitoyl-CoA. Specifically, the IC50 for malonyl-CoA inhibition and Km value for palmitoyl-CoA measured in 24-h-suckling pigs were 1.8- and 2.7-fold higher than measured in newborn pigs. The addition of anaplerotic carbon from malate (10 mM) significantly reduced 14C accumulation in acetate ( P < 0.003); moreover, the reduction was much greater in newborn (80%) than in 24-h-fed (72%) and 5-mo-old pigs (55%). The results demonstrate that acetate is the primary product of hepatic mitochondrial β-oxidation in Sus scrofa and that regulation during early development is mediated primarily via kinetic modulation of CPT I.

Hepatic Fatty Acid Oxidation

The temporal changes in oleate oxidation, lipogenesis, malonyl-CoA concentration and sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT 1) to malonyl-CoA inhibition were studied in isolated rabbit hepatocytes and mitochondria as a function of time after birth of the animal or time in culture after exposure to glucagon, cyclic AMP or insulin. (1) Oleate oxidation was very low during the first 6 h after birth, whereas lipogenesis rate and malonyl-CoA concentration decreased rapidly during this period to reach levels as low as those found in 24-h-old newborns that show active oleate oxidation. (2) The changes in the activity of CPT I and the IC50 (concn. causing 50% inhibition) for malonyl-CoA paralleled those of oleate oxidation. (3) In cultured fetal hepatocytes, the addition of glucagon or cyclic AMP reproduced the changes that occur spontaneously after birth. A 12 h exposure to glucagon or cyclic AMP was sufficient to inhibit lipogenesis totally and to cause a decrease in malonyl-CoA concentration, but a 24 h exposure was required to induce oleate oxidation. (4) The induction of oleate oxidation by glucagon or cyclic AMP is triggered by the fall in the malonyl-CoA sensitivity of CPT I. (5) In cultured hepatocytes from 24 h-old newborns, the addition of insulin inhibits no more than 30% of the high oleate oxidation, whereas it stimulates lipogenesis and increases malonyl-CoA concentration by 4-fold more than in fetal cells (no oleate oxidation). This poor effect of insulin on oleate oxidation seems to be due to the inability of the hormone to increase the sensitivity of CPT I sufficiently. Altogether, these results suggest that the malonyl-CoA sensitivity of CPT I is the major site of regulation during the induction of fatty acid oxidation in the fetal rabbit liver.
