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.

Abnormal lipid metabolism in renal tubular epithelial cells contributes to renal lipid accumulation and disturbed mitochondrial bioenergetics which are important in diabetic kidney disease. Berberine, the major active constituent of Rhizoma coptidis and Cortex phellodendri, is involved in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of berberine on lipid accumulation in tubular epithelial cells of diabetic kidney disease. We treated type 2 diabetic db/db mice with berberine (300 mg/kg) for 12 weeks. Berberine treatment improved the physical and biochemical parameters of the db/db mice compared with db/m mice. In addition, berberine decreased intracellular lipid accumulation and increased the expression of fatty acid oxidation enzymes CPT1, ACOX1 and PPAR-α in tubular epithelial cells of db/db mice. The mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial membrane potential, cytochrome c oxidase activity, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, and mitochondrial ATP production in db/db mice kidneys were significantly improved by berberine. Berberine intervention activated the AMPK pathway and increased the level of PGC-1α. In vitro berberine suppressed high glucose-induced lipid accumulation and reversed high glucose-induced reduction of fatty acid oxidation enzymes in HK-2 cells. Importantly, in HK-2 cells, berberine treatment blocked the change in metabolism from fatty acid oxidation to glycolysis under high glucose condition. Moreover, berberine restored high glucose-induced dysfunctional mitochondria. These data suggested that berberine alleviates diabetic renal tubulointerstitial injury through improving high glucose-induced reduction of fatty acid oxidation, alleviates lipid deposition, and protect mitochondria in tubular epithelial cells.

The present study examined the mechanism of a low-protein (LP) diet on hepatic lipid metabolism during gestation and lactation. Timed-pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a control or an LP diet during gestation and lactation. LP dams had increased hepatic triglyceride accumulation and a significantly higher aspartate/alanine transaminase ratio, accompanied by a decrease in the circulating very low-density/low-density lipoprotein ratio. Microtubule-associated protein 1 light-chain 3β (LC3B) expression was stimulated in LP dams along with increased histone acetylation. LP diet induced colocalization of the LC3 binding motif interacting proteins apolipoprotein B (APOB) or microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) with LC3B, suggesting autophagic degradation. Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is found necessary to prevent lipid accumulation in response to amino acid deprivation in HepG2 cells. LC3B-mediated APOB protein degradation is related to increases in lipid accumulation. HDAC3 regulated LC3B-induced lipid accumulation potentially through autophagic degradation of APOB and MTTP in response to amino acid limitation caused by a low-protein diet.
