Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor-? Association With Silent Information Regulator 1 Suppresses Cardiac Fatty Acid Metabolism in the Failing Heart.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Heart failure is accompanied by changes in cardiac metabolism characterized by reduced fatty acid (FA) utilization. However, the underlying mechanism and its causative involvement in the progression of heart failure are poorly understood. The peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-? (PPAR?)/retinoid X receptor (RXR) heterodimer promotes transcription of genes involved in FA metabolism through binding to the PPAR response element, called direct repeat 1 (DR1). Silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1) is a histone deacetylase, which interacts with PPAR?.To investigate the role of PPAR? in the impaired FA utilization observed during heart failure, genetically altered mice were subjected to pressure overload. The DNA binding of PPAR?, RXR?, and Sirt1 to DR1 was evaluated with oligonucleotide pull-down and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Although the binding of PPAR? to DR1 was enhanced in response to pressure overload, that of RXR? was attenuated. Sirt1 competes with RXR? to dimerize with PPAR?, thereby suppressing FA utilization in the failing heart. DR1 sequence analysis indicated that the typical DR1 sequence favors PPAR?/RXR? heterodimerization, whereas the switch from RXR? to Sirt1 takes place on degenerate DR1s. Sirt1 bound to PPAR? through a region homologous to the PPAR? binding domain in RXR?. A short peptide corresponding to the RXR? domain not only inhibited the interaction between PPAR? and Sirt1 but also improved FA metabolism and ameliorated cardiac dysfunction.A change in the heterodimeric partner of PPAR? from RXR? to Sirt1 is responsible for the impaired FA metabolism and cardiac dysfunction in the failing heart.
