ABSTRACT
AIMS:
Published work has shown that ataxia-telangiectasia mutated kinase (ATM) deficiency is associated with cardioprotective effects in Western-type diet (WD)-fed female mice. This study assessed the expression of proteins related to fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and oxidative stress in WD-fed male and female mouse hearts, and investigated if sex-specific cardioprotective effects in WD-fed female ATM-deficient mice are maintained following myocardial infarction (MI). MAINMETHODS:
Wild-type (WT) and ATM-deficient (hKO) mice (both sexes) were placed on WD for 14 weeks. Myocardial tissue from a subset of mice was used for western blot analyses, while another subset of WD-fed mice underwent MI. Heart function was analyzed by echocardiography prior to and 1 day post-MI. KEYFINDINGS:
CPT1B (mitochondrial FAO enzyme) expression was lower in male hKO-WD, while it was higher in female hKO-WD vs WT-WD. WD-mediated decrease in ACOX1 (peroxisomal FAO enzyme) expression was only observed in male WT-WD. PMP70 (transports fatty acyl-CoA across peroxisomal membrane) expression was lower in male hKO-WD vs WT-WD. Catalase (antioxidant enzyme) expression was higher, while Nox4 (pro-oxidant enzyme) expression was lower in female hKO-WD vs WT-WD. Heart function was better in female hKO-WD vs WT-WD. However, post-MI heart function was not significantly different among all MI groups. Post-MI, CPT1B and catalase expression was higher in male hKO-WD-MI vs WT-WD-MI, while Nox4 expression was higher in female hKO-WD-MI vs WT-WD-MI.SIGNIFICANCE:
Increased mitochondrial FAO and decreased oxidative stress contribute towards ATM deficiency-mediated cardioprotective effects in WD-fed female mice which are abolished post-MI with increased Nox4 expression.Palavras-chave
