چکیده

Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation of the CD36 gene (CD36-/-) in humans results in severe defects of the uptake of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) in the heart. Because the effect of a single mutation of this gene (CD36+/-) on the LCFA uptake is not known, it was evaluated in 29 subjects with the CD36 wild-type gene (WT) (6 healthy subjects, 10 patients with heart disease), CD36+/- (4 healthy subjects, 5 patients) and CD36-/- (4 patients). The CD36 genotype was identified in the coding region of genomic DNA, and the expression of CD36 protein was examined by flow cytometry after staining with monoclonal anti-CD36 antibody. The LCFA uptake in the heart was assessed as the radioactivity accumulation ratio of heart to mediastinum after intravenous administration of iodine-123 15-(p-iodophenyl)-3-R, S-methylpentadecanoic acid (H/M ratio). The H/M ratios in WT, CD36+/- and CD36-/- were 2.28 +/- 0.10, 1.90 +/- 0.06 and 1.40 +/- 0.11, respectively (p < 0.0001, among groups). The H/M ratio between healthy subjects and patients with heart disease for WT and CD36+/- did not differ significantly (ie, those of WT and CD36+/- in healthy subjects and patients were 2.29 +/- 0.08 vs 2.27 +/- 0.12 and 1.90+/- 0.07 vs 1.89 +/- 0.05, respectively). Not only CD36-/- but also CD36+/- resulted in a significant reduction of the LCFA uptake in the heart independent of heart disease, suggesting genotype dependency and that CD36 might be a fundamental determinant of myocardial LCFA uptake.

Defect in human myocardial long-chain fatty acid uptake is caused by FAT/CD36 mutations.

Because of the importance of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) as a myocardial energy substrate, myocardial LCFA metabolism has been of particular interest for the understanding of cardiac pathophysiology. Recently, by using radiolabeled LCFA analogues, myocardial LCFA metabolism has been clinically evaluated, which revealed a total defect of myocardial LCFA accumulation in a small number of subje...

Protein-mediated palmitate uptake and expression of fatty acid transport proteins in heart giant vesicles.

Giant sarcolemmal vesicles were isolated from rat heart and hindlimb muscles for a) characterization of long-chain fatty acid transport in the absence of metabolism and b) comparison of fatty acid transport protein expression with fatty acid transport. Giant vesicles contained cytosolic fatty acid binding protein. Palmitate uptake was completely divorced from its metabolism. All palmitate taken...

Myocardial recovery from ischemia is impaired in CD36-null mice and restored by myocyte CD36 expression or medium-chain fatty acids.

Long-chain fatty acid uptake, which provides a large part of myocardial energy, is impaired in human and murine hearts deficient in the membrane fatty acid translocase, FAT/CD36. We examined myocardial function in CD36-null mice using the working heart. Fatty acid oxidation and stores of glycogen, triglycerides, and ATP were reduced in CD36-deficient hearts and were restored to WT levels by res...

PCSK9 Induces CD36 Degradation and Affects Long-Chain Fatty Acid Uptake and Triglyceride Metabolism in Adipocytes and in Mouse Liver.

OBJECTIVE Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) promotes the degradation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor thereby elevating plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and the risk of coronary heart disease. Thus, the use of PCSK9 inhibitors holds great promise to prevent heart disease. Previous work found that PCSK9 is involved in triglyceride metabolism, independe...

New insights into long-chain fatty acid uptake by heart muscle: a crucial role for fatty acid translocase/CD36.

Long-chain fatty acids are an important source of energy for several cell types, in particular for the heart muscle cell. Three different proteins, fatty acid translocase (FAT)/CD36, fatty acid transport protein and plasma membrane fatty acid binding protein, have been identified as possible membrane fatty acid transporters. Much information has been accumulated recently about the fatty acid tr...
