Integrated Multilayer Omics Reveals the Genomic, Proteomic and Metabolic Influences of the Histidyl Dipeptides on Heart
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Histidyl dipeptides, such as carnosine, present in a micro-millimolar ranges in the heart, are synthesized via the enzyme carnosine synthase (Carns). These dipeptides facilitate glycolysis by proton buffering, form conjugates with reactive aldehydes, such as acrolein, and attenuate ischemia and reperfusion injury. While these dipeptides exhibit multifunctional properties, a composite understanding of their roles in myocardium is lacking. To identify the landscape of histidyl dipeptide mediated responses in the heart, we used a triomics approach of genome wide RNA sequencing, global proteomics and unbiased metabolomics in the cardio specific Carns transgenic (Tg) mice and integrated the three data sets. Our result show higher myocardial levels of histidyl dipeptides lead to extensive changes in several microRNAs, which could target the expression of contractile proteins, beta-fatty acid oxidation and citric acid cycle (TCA) enzymes. Global proteomics shows, expression of contractile proteins, enzymes of beta-fatty acid oxidation and TCA cycle, were enriched in the CarnsTg heart. Under aerobic conditions, the CarnsTg hearts had lower levels of short and long-chain fatty acids and TCA cycle intermediate-succinic acid, whereas, under ischemic conditions the accumulation of fatty acids and TCA cycle intermediates were significantly attenuated in the CarnsTg heart. Integration of multiple data sets suggests that beta-fatty acid oxidation and TCA cycle pathways exhibited correlative changes in the CarnsTg hearts at all three levels. Our triomics approach shows histidyl dipeptides are critical regulators of myocardial structure, function and energetics.
