Acetylation and phosphorylation changes to cardiac proteins in experimental HFpEF due to metabolic risk reveal targets for treatment

ABSTRACT: Aims: Despite the high prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), the pathomechanisms remain elusive and specific therapy is lacking. Disease-causing factors include metabolic risk, notably obesity. However, proteomic changes in HFpEF are poorly understood, hampering therapeutic strategies. We sought to elucidate how metabolic syndrome affects cardiac protein expression, phosphorylation and acetylation in the Zucker diabetic fatty/Spontaneously hypertensive heart failure F1 (ZSF1) rat HFpEF model, and to evaluate some changes regarding their potential for treatment. Main methods: ZSF1 obese and lean rats were fed a Purina diet up to the onset of HFpEF in the obese animals. We quantified the proteome, phosphoproteome and acetylome of ZSF1 obese versus lean heart tissues by mass spectrometry and singled out targets for site-specific evaluation. Key findings: We found the acetylome of ZSF1 obese versus lean hearts more severely altered (21% of proteins changed) than the phosphoproteome (9%) or proteome (3%). Proteomic alterations, confirmed by immunoblotting, indicated low-grade systemic inflammation and endothelial remodeling in obese hearts, but low nitric oxide-dependent oxidative/nitrosative stress. Altered acetylation in ZSF1 obese hearts mainly affected pathways important for metabolism, energy production and mechanical function, including hypo-acetylation of mechanical proteins but hyper-acetylation of proteins regulating fatty acid metabolism. Hypo-acetylation and hypo-phosphorylation of elastic titin in ZSF1 obese hearts explained myocardial stiffening. Significance: Cardiometabolic syndrome alters posttranslational modifications, notably acetylation, in experimental HFpEF. Pathway changes implicate a HFpEF signature of low-grade inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, metabolic and mechanical impairment, and suggest titin stiffness and mitochondrial metabolism as promising therapeutic targets.

Project description:Purpose. Insulin resistant muscle is resistant to gene expression changes induced by acute exercise. This study was undertaken to identify transcription factors that differentially respond to exercise in insulin resistance. Candidate transcription factors were identified from analysis of 5’-untranslated regions (5’-UTRs) of exercise responsive genes and from analysis of the 5’-UTRs of genes coding for proteins that differ in abundance in insulin resistance. Research design and methods. Muscle biopsies were obtained from lean and obese subjects before and after a single exercise bout. Euglycemic glucose clamps assessed insulin sensitivity. Global proteomics analysis identified differentially abundant proteins. The 5’-UTRs of genes coding for significant proteins were subjected to transcription factor enrichment analysis to identify candidate transcription factors. Q-rt-PCR to determine expression of candidate transcription factors was performed on RNA from resting and post-exercise muscle biopsies; immunoblots quantified protein abundance. Results. Obese subjects were insulin resistant compared to lean but performed exercise at the same intensity. Proteins involved in mitochondrial function, protein targeting and translation, and metabolism were among those significantly different between the groups. Transcription factor enrichment analysis of genes coding for these proteins revealed new candidate transcription factors. Q-rt-PCR analysis of RNA and immunoblot analysis from pre- and post-exercise muscle biopsies revealed several transcription and growth factors that had altered responses to exercise in insulin resistant subjects. Conclusions. These results confirm findings of an association between insulin sensitivity and transcription factor mRNA response to exercise and extend these results to show that obesity also may be a sufficient prerequisite for exercise resistance. Analysis of the muscle proteome together with determination of effects of exercise on expression of transcription factors suggests that abnormal responses of transcription factors to exercise may be responsible for differences in protein abundances in insulin resistant muscle.
