Cluster Differentiating 36 (CD36) Deficiency Attenuates Obesity-Associated Oxidative Stress in the Heart.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Obesity is often associated with a state of oxidative stress and increased lipid deposition in the heart. More importantly, obesity increases lipid influx into the heart and induces excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to cell toxicity and metabolic dysfunction. Cluster differentiating 36 (CD36) protein is highly expressed in the heart and regulates lipid utilization but its role in obesity-associated oxidative stress is still not clear.

Objective

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of CD36 deficiency on cardiac steatosis, oxidative stress and lipotoxicity associated with obesity.

Methods and results

Studies were conducted in control (Lean), obese leptin-deficient (Lepob/ob) and leptin-CD36 double null (Lepob/obCD36-/-) mice. Compared to lean mice, cardiac steatosis, and fatty acid (FA) uptake and oxidation were increased in Lepob/ob mice, while glucose uptake and oxidation was reduced. Moreover, insulin resistance, oxidative stress markers and NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS production were markedly enhanced. This was associated with the induction of NADPH oxidase expression, and increased membrane-associated p47phox, p67phox and protein kinase C. Silencing CD36 in Lepob/ob mice prevented cardiac steatosis, increased insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization, but reduced FA uptake and oxidation. Moreover, CD36 deficiency reduced NADPH oxidase activity and decreased NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS production. In isolated cardiomyocytes, CD36 deficiency reduced palmitate-induced ROS production and normalized NADPH oxidase activity.

Conclusions

CD36 deficiency prevented obesity-associated cardiac steatosis and insulin resistance, and reduced NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS production. The study demonstrates that CD36 regulates NADPH oxidase activity and mediates FA-induced oxidative stress.

Project description:Fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36) is a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the scavenger class B receptor family and is encoded by the cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) gene. This receptor has a high affinity for fatty acids and is involved in lipid metabolism. An abundance of FAT/CD36 during exercise occurs in mitochondria and solitary muscles. As such, we aimed to systematically review the evidence for the relationship FAT/CD36 and adipose tissue lipolysis during exercise training. Five electronic databases were selected for literature searches until June 2022: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, science direct, and Google Scholar. We combined the different synonyms and used the operators ("AND", "OR", "NOT"): (CD36 gene) OR (CD36 polymorphism) OR (cluster of differentiation 36) OR (FAT/CD36) OR (fatty acid translocase) OR (platelet glycoprotein IV) OR (platelet glycoprotein IIIb) AND (adipose tissue lipolysis) OR (fatty acids) OR (metabolism lipid) OR (adipocytes) AND (physical effort) OR (endurance exercise) OR (high-intensity training). All published cross-sectional, cohort, case-control, and randomized clinical trials investigating CD36 polymorphisms and adipose tissue lipolysis during exercise in subjects (elite and sub-elite athletes, non-athletes, sedentary individuals and diabetics), and using valid methods to measure FAT/CD36 expression and other biomarkers, were considered for inclusion in this review. We initially identified 476 publications according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and included 21 studies investigating FAT/CD36 and adipose tissue lipolysis during exercise in our systematic review after examination of titles, abstracts, full texts, and quality assessments using the PEDro scale. There were nine studies with male-only participants, three with female-only participants, and nine studies included both female and male participants. There were 859 participants in the 21 selected studies. Studies were classified as either low quality (n = 3), medium quality (n = 13), and high quality (n = 5). In general, the data suggests an association between FAT/CD36 and adipose tissue lipolysis during exercise training. Improvements in FAT/CD36 were reported during or after exercise in 6 studies, while there were no changes reported in FAT/CD36 in 4 studies. An association between fat oxidation and FAT/CD36 expression during exercise was reported in 7 studies. No agreement was reached in 5 studies on FAT/CD36 content after dietary changes and physical interventions. One study reported that FAT/CD36 protein expression in muscle was higher in women than in men, another reported that training decreased FAT/CD36 protein in insulin-resistant participants, while another study reported no differences in FAT/CD36 in young, trained individuals with type 2 diabetes. Our analysis shows an association between FAT/CD36 expression and exercise. Furthermore, an association between whole-body peak fat oxidation and FAT/CD36 expression during exercise training was demonstrated.

Project description:Heterozygous endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) deficiency is associated with normal endothelium-dependent responses, however, little is known regarding the mechanisms that maintain or impair endothelial function with heterozygous eNOS deficiency. The goals of this study were to (1) determine mechanism(s) which serve to maintain normal endothelial function in the absence of a single eNOS gene; and (2) to determine whether heterozygous eNOS deficiency predisposes blood vessels to endothelial dysfunction in response to a high-fat diet (HFD). Responses of carotid arteries were examined in wild-type (eNOS(+/+)) and heterozygous eNOS-deficient (eNOS(+/-)) treated with either vehicle (saline), N(G)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA, 100 μmol/L), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, or 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, 1 μmol/L), an inhibitor of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC), and in eNOS(+/+) and eNOS(+/-) mice fed a control (10%) or a 45% HFD (kcal from fat). Responses to acetylcholine (ACh) were similar in vehicle-treated arteries from eNOS(+/+) and eNOS(+/-) mice, and were equally inhibited by L-NNA and ODQ. Phosphorylation of eNOS Ser1176, a site associated with increased eNOS activity, was significantly greater in eNOS(+/-) mice most likely as a compensatory response for the loss of a single eNOS gene. In contrast, responses to ACh were markedly impaired in carotid arteries from eNOS(+/-), but not eNOS(+/+), mice fed a HFD. Vascular superoxide levels as well as plasma levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) were selectively increased in HFD-fed eNOS(+/-) mice. In reconstitution experiments, IL-6 produced concentration-dependent impairment of endothelial responses as well as greater increases in NADPH-stimulated superoxide levels in arteries from eNOS(+/-) mice fed a control diet compared to eNOS(+/+) mice. Our findings of increased Ser1176-phosphorylation reveal a mechanism by which NOS- and sGC-dependent endothelial function can be maintained with heterozygous eNOS deficiency. In addition, heterozygous eNOS deficiency predisposes blood vessels to developing endothelial dysfunction in response to a HFD. The impairment produced by a HFD in eNOS(+/-) mice appears to be mediated by IL-6-induced increases in vascular superoxide. These findings serve as an important example of eNOS haploinsufficiency, one that may contribute to the development of carotid artery disease in obese humans.
