Impaired cardiac insulin signaling and high cardiac fatty acid oxidation rates are characteristics of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Potential roles for liver-derived metabolic factors in mediating cardiac energy homeostasis are underappreciated. Plasma levels of adropin, a liver secreted peptide, increase during feeding and decrease during fasting and diabetes. In skeletal muscle, adropin preferentially promotes glucose over fatty acid oxidation. We therefore determined what effect adropin has on cardiac energy metabolism, insulin signaling and cardiac efficiency. C57Bl/6 mice were fasted to accentuate the differences in adropin plasma levels between animals injected 3 times over 24 hr with either vehicle or adropin (450 nmol/kg i.p.). Despite fasting-induced predominance of fatty acid oxidation measured in isolated working hearts, insulin inhibition of fatty acid oxidation was re-established in adropin-treated mice (from 1022±143 to 517±56 nmol. g dry wt -1 . min -1 , p <0.05) compared to vehicle-treated mice (from 757±104 to 818±103 nmol. g dry wt -1 . min -1 ). Adropin-treated mice hearts showed higher cardiac work over the course of perfusion (p<0.05 vs. vehicle), which was accompanied by improved cardiac efficiency and enhanced phosphorylation of insulin signaling enzymes (tyrosine-IRS-1, AS160, p<0.05). Acute addition of adropin (2nM) to isolated working hearts from non-fasting mice showed a robust stimulation of glucose oxidation compared to vehicle-treated hearts (3025±401 vs 1708±292 nmol. g dry wt -1 . min -1 , p<0.05, respectively) with a corresponding inhibition of palmitate oxidation (325±61 vs 731±160 nmol. g dry wt -1 . min -1 , p<0.05, respectively), even in the presence of insulin. Acute adropin addition to hearts also increased IRS-1 tyrosine-phosphorylation as well as Akt, and GSK3β phosphorylation (p<0.05), suggesting acute receptor- and/or post-translational modification-mediated mechanisms. These results suggest adropin as a putative candidate for the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

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.

Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase I

Inhibition of myocardial fatty acid oxidation can improve left ventricular (LV) mechanical efficiency by increasing LV power for a given rate of myocardial energy expenditure. This phenomenon has not been assessed at high workloads in nonischemic myocardium; therefore, we subjected in vivo pig hearts to a high workload for 5 min and assessed whether blocking mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation with the carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I inhibitor oxfenicine would improve LV mechanical efficiency. In addition, the cardiac content of malonyl-CoA (an endogenous inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I) and activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (which synthesizes malonyl-CoA) were assessed. Increased workload was induced by aortic constriction and dobutamine infusion, and LV efficiency was calculated from the LV pressure-volume loop and LV energy expenditure. In untreated pigs, the increase in LV power resulted in a 2.5-fold increase in fatty acid oxidation and cardiac malonyl-CoA content but did not affect the activation state of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. The activation state of the acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibitory kinase AMP-activated protein kinase decreased by 40% with increased cardiac workload. Pretreatment with oxfenicine inhibited fatty acid oxidation by 75% and had no effect on cardiac energy expenditure but significantly increased LV power and LV efficiency (37 ± 5% vs. 26 ± 5%, P < 0.05) at high workload. In conclusion, 1) myocardial fatty acid oxidation increases with a short-term increase in cardiac workload, despite an increase in malonyl-CoA concentration, and 2) inhibition of fatty acid oxidation improves LV mechanical efficiency by increasing LV power without affecting cardiac energy expenditure.

Obesity and osteoporosis are major health issues affecting millions of individuals. Transgenic mice overexpressing ΔFosB, an activator protein-1 transcription factor, under the control of the enolase 2 (ENO2) promoter exhibit both an increase in bone density and a decrease in adipose mass. Here we demonstrate that ΔFosB overexpression increases fatty-acid oxidation and energy expenditure, leading to a decrease in adipocyte size and adipose mass. In addition, the ENO2-ΔFosB mice exhibit increased insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Targeted overexpression of ΔFosB in adipocytes using the adipocyte protein 2 promoter failed to induce changes in fat or in bone, showing that the effect on metabolic activity is not due to cell-autonomous effects of ΔFosB within adipocytes. Detailed analysis of the ENO2-ΔFosB mice demonstrated that energy expenditure was increased in muscle, independent of locomotor activity. These findings provide evidence that signaling downstream of ΔFosB is a potential target for not only osteoporosis but also obesity and diabetes. Overexpression of ΔFosB under the control of the enolase 2 promoter increases bone mass and energy expenditure by increasing fatty-acid oxidation within muscle, reducing adiposity.

CoA (coenzyme A) and its derivatives have a critical role in regulating cardiac energy metabolism. This includes a key role as a substrate and product in the energy metabolic pathways, as well as serving as an allosteric regulator of cardiac energy metabolism. In addition, the CoA ester malonyl-CoA has an important role in regulating fatty acid oxidation, secondary to inhibiting CPT (carnitine palmitoyltransferase) 1, a key enzyme involved in mitochondrial fatty acid uptake. Alterations in malonyl-CoA synthesis by ACC (acetyl-CoA carboxylase) and degradation by MCD (malonyl-CoA decarboxylase) are important contributors to the high cardiac fatty acid oxidation rates seen in ischaemic heart disease, heart failure, obesity and diabetes. Additional control of fatty acid oxidation may also occur at the level of acetyl-CoA involvement in acetylation of mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidative enzymes. We find that acetylation of the fatty acid β-oxidative enzymes, LCAD (long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase) and β-HAD (β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase) is associated with an increase in activity and fatty acid oxidation in heart from obese mice with heart failure. This is associated with decreased SIRT3 (sirtuin 3) activity, an important mitochondrial deacetylase. In support of this, cardiac SIRT3 deletion increases acetylation of LCAD and β-HAD, and increases cardiac fatty acid oxidation. Acetylation of MCD is also associated with increased activity, decreases malonyl-CoA levels and an increase in fatty acid oxidation. Combined, these data suggest that malonyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA have an important role in mediating the alterations in fatty acid oxidation seen in heart failure.

Interfering Rna

β1–3-Adrenoreceptor (AR)-deficient mice are unable to regulate energy expenditure and develop diet-induced obesity on a high-fat diet. We determined previously that β2-AR agonist treatment activated expression of the mRNA encoding the orphan nuclear receptor, NOR-1, in muscle cells and plantaris muscle. Here we show that β2-AR agonist treatment significantly and transiently activated the expression of NOR-1 (and the other members of the NR4A subgroup) in slow-twitch oxidative soleus muscle and fast-twitch glycolytic tibialis anterior muscle. The activation induced by β-adrenergic signaling is consistent with the involvement of protein kinase A, MAPK, and phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding protein. Stable cell lines transfected with a silent interfering RNA targeting NOR-1 displayed decreased palmitate oxidation and lactate accumulation. In concordance with these observations, ATP production in the NOR-1 silent interfering RNA (but not control)-transfected cells was resistant to (azide-mediated) inhibition of oxidative metabolism and expressed significantly higher levels of hypoxia inducible factor-1α. In addition, we observed the repression of genes that promote fatty acid oxidation (peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α/β and lipin-1α) and trichloroacetic acid cycle-mediated carbohydrate (pyruvate) oxidation [pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase 1 regulatory and catalytic subunits (pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatases-1r and -c)]. Furthermore, we observed that β2-AR agonist administration in mouse skeletal muscle induced the expression of genes that activate fatty acid oxidation and modulate pyruvate use, including PGC-1α, lipin-1α, FOXO1, and PDK4. Finally, we demonstrate that NOR-1 is recruited to the lipin-1α and PDK-4 promoters, and this is consistent with NOR-1-mediated regulation of these genes. In conclusion, NOR-1 is necessary for oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle.
