Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) plays an important role in energy homeostasis in the heart by catalyzing the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate derived primarily from glucose and lactate. Because various pathophysiological states can markedly alter cardiac glucose metabolism and PDC has been shown to be altered in response to chronic ischemia, cardiac physiology of a mouse model with knockout of the α-subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase component of PDC in heart/skeletal muscle (H/SM-PDCKO) was investigated. H/SM-PDCKO mice did not show embryonic lethality and grew normally during the preweaning period. Heart and skeletal muscle of homozygous male mice had very low PDC activity (∼5% of wild-type), and PDC activity in these tissues from heterozygous females was ∼50%. Male mice did not survive for >7 days after weaning on a rodent chow diet. However, they survived on a high-fat diet and developed left ventricular hypertrophy and reduced left ventricular systolic function compared with wild-type male mice. The changes in the heterozygote female mice were of lesser severity. The deficiency of PDC in H/SM-PDCKO male mice greatly compromises the ability of the heart to oxidize glucose for the generation of energy (and hence cardiac function) and results in cardiac pathological changes. This mouse model demonstrates the importance of glucose oxidation in cardiac energetics and function under basal conditions.

The effect of chronic sepsis on the concentration of active pyruvate dehydrogenase complex has been investigated in liver and skeletal muscle of normal, sterile inflammatory, and chronic septic (small and large abscess) animals. Hyperdynamic sepsis was induced by the intraperitoneal introduction of a rat fecal-agar pellet of known size and bacterial composition (Escherichia coli + Bacteroides fragilis). Total pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity was not altered in either liver or skeletal muscle in any of the conditions studied. In hepatic tissue, sterile inflammation increased the proportion of active complex 2.5-fold compared with control. The same increase in the concentration of active complex was observed in animals with a small abscess. When the abscess size was increased (large abscess), the concentration of active complex was decreased relative to sterile inflammatory or small abscess septic animals. In contrast to liver, sterile inflammation did not alter the proportion of active complex in skeletal muscle. Sepsis (either small or large septic abscess) resulted in threefold decrease in the concentration of active complex relative to control or sterile inflammatory animals. Changes in the concentration of active complex did not appear to be dependent on the ATP/ADP concentration ratio or tissue pyruvate levels but were consistent with changes in the acetyl-coenzyme A-to-coenzyme A concentration ratio. The mechanism responsible for altered concentration of active complex may be mediated through changes in the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, secondary to alterations in the effector concentration ratios.

We investigated the temporal relationship between hepatic glycogen depletion and cardiac and hepatic PDH (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) activities during the acute phase of starvation. There was a striking correlation between the decline in hepatic glycogen and PDH inactivation during the first 10 h of starvation. Re-feeding after 6 h starvation was associated with complete re-activation of PDH in liver and re-activation to approx. 75% of the fed value in heart, whereas in rats previously starved for 24-48 h re-activation was delayed in liver and diminished in heart. The results are discussed with reference to the fate of dietary carbohydrate after re-feeding.
