Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Is an Essential Transcriptional Regulator for Mitochondrial Protection and Biogenesis in Adult Heart

چکیده
Rationale: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) ( , , and / ) are nuclear hormone receptors and ligand-activated transcription factors that serve as key determinants of myocardial fatty acid metabolism. Long-term cardiomyocyte-restricted PPAR deficiency in mice leads to depressed myocardial fatty acid oxidation, bioenergetics, and premature death with lipotoxic cardiomyopathy. Objective: To explore the essential role of PPAR in the adult heart. Methods and Results: We investigated the consequences of inducible short-term PPAR knockout in the adult mouse heart. In addition to a substantial transcriptional downregulation of lipid metabolic proteins, short-term PPAR knockout in the adult mouse heart attenuated cardiac expression of both Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase and manganese superoxide dismutase, leading to increased oxidative damage to the heart. Moreover, expression of key mitochondrial biogenesis determinants such as PPAR coactivator-1 were substantially decreased in the short-term PPAR deficient heart, concomitant with a decreased mitochondrial DNA copy number. Rates of palmitate and glucose oxidation were markedly depressed in cardiomyocytes of PPAR knockout hearts. Consequently, PPAR deficiency in the adult heart led to depressed cardiac performance and cardiac hypertrophy. Conclusions: PPAR is an essential regulator of cardiac mitochondrial protection and biogenesis and PPAR activation can be a potential therapeutic target for cardiac disorders.

متن کاملRegulation of PGC-1α, a nodal regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis.
Mechanisms responsible for energy management in the cell and in the whole organism require a complex network of transcription factors and cofactors. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) has emerged as a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and function, thus becoming a crucial metabolic node. We present an overview of the mechanisms by which PGC-1α is reg...

Background—Obesity and diabetes mellitus are complex metabolic problems of pandemic proportion, contributing to significant cardiovascular mortality. Recent studies have shown altered mitochondrial function in the hearts of diabetic animals. We hypothesized that regulatory events involved in the control of mitochondrial function are activated in the prediabetic, insulin-resistant stage. Methods...

Although the concept of energy starvation in the failing heart was proposed decades ago, still very little is known about the origin of energetic failure. Recent advances in molecular biology have started to elucidate the transcriptional events governing mitochondrial biogenesis. In particular, a great step was taken with the discovery that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-ac...
