FUNDC1 insufficiency sensitizes high fat diet intake-induced cardiac remodeling and contractile anomaly through ACSL4-mediated ferroptosis.
Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental 2021 July 30
OBJECTIVE: Ferroptosis is indicated in cardiovascular diseases. Given the prominent role of mitophagy in the governance of ferroptosis and our recent finding for FUN14 domain containing 1 (FUNDC1) in obesity anomalies, this study evaluated the impact of FUNDC1 deficiency in high fat diet (HFD)-induced cardiac anomalies.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: WT and FUNDC1-/- mice were fed HFD (45% calorie from fat) or low fat diet (LFD, 10% calorie from fat) for 10 weeks in the presence of the ferroptosis inhibitor liproxstatin-1 (LIP-1, 10 mg/kg, i.p.).
RESULTS: RNAseq analysis for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) reported gene ontology term related to ferroptosis and mitophagy in obese rat hearts, which was validated in obese rodent and human hearts. Although 10-week HFD intake did not alter global metabolism, cardiac geometry and function, ablation of FUNDC1 unmasked metabolic derangement, pronounced cardiac remodeling, contractile, intracellular Ca2+ and mitochondrial anomalies upon HFD challenge, the effects of which with exception of global metabolism were attenuated or mitigated by LIP-1. FUNDC1 ablation unmasked HFD-evoked rises in fatty acid synthase ACSL4, necroptosis, inflammation, ferroptosis, mitochondrial O2 - production, and mitochondrial injury as well as dampened autophagy and DNA repair enzyme 8-oxoG DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) but not apoptosis, the effect of which except ACSL4 and its regulator SP1 was reversed by LIP-1. In vitro data noted that arachidonic acid, an ACSL4 substrate, provoked cytochrome C release, cardiomyocyte defect, and lipid peroxidation under FUNDC1 deficiency, the effects were interrupted by inhibitors of SP1, ACSL4 and ferroptosis.
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that FUNDC1 deficiency sensitized cardiac remodeling and dysfunction with short-term HFD exposure, likely through ACSL4-mediated regulation of ferroptosis.
