    Abstract: Aging is associated with the development of chronic diseases such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. A reduction in mitochondrial fat oxidation is postulated to be a key factor contributing to the progression of these diseases. Our aim was to investigate the contribution of impaired mitochondrial fat oxidation toward age-related disease. Mice deficient for malonyl CoA decarboxylase (MCD−/−), a mouse model of reduced fat oxidation, were allowed to age while life span and a number of physiological parameters (glucose tolerance, insulin tolerance, indirect calorimetry) were assessed. Decreased fat oxidation in MCD−/− mice resulted in the accumulation of lipid intermediates in peripheral tissues, but this was not associated with a worsening of age-associated insulin resistance and, conversely, improved longevity. This improvement was associated with reduced oxidative stress and reduced acetylation of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase 2 in muscle but not the liver of MCD−/− mice. These findings were recapitulated in aged mice treated with an MCD inhibitor (CBM-3001106), and these mice also demonstrated improvements in glucose and insulin tolerance. Therefore, our results demonstrate that in addition to decreasing fat oxidation, MCD inhibition also has novel effects on protein acetylation. These combined effects protect against age-related metabolic dysfunction, demonstrating that MCD inhibitors may have utility in the battle against chronic disease in the elderly.

    Abstract: Background: Activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) can alter the cardiac energy substrate preference, thereby contributing to the progression of heart failure. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) 2 is a key negative regulator of the RAS where it metabolizes angiotensin (Ang) II into Ang (1-7). Hypothesis: Myocardial ACE2 was upregulated in response to high-fat diet in wildtype (WT) mice. We hypothesize that ACE2 upregulation is a compensatory response and loss of ACE2 will worsened obesity and its associated cardiomyopathy. Methods and Results: ACE2-null (ACE2-/y; ACE2KO) and WT litter-mate control mice were fed with high-fat diet (HFD; 45 kcal%) or control diet (10 kcal%) and studied at 6-months of age. In contrast to our hypothesis, loss of ACE2 resulted in decreased obesity in response to HFD compared to WT mice (body weight at 6-months: 45.9±4.3 in ACE2KO-HFD vs 51.4±1.55 in WT-HFD; p 〈 0.05). Conversely, ACE2KO-HFD mice showed increased fasting plasma glucose levels (6.76±0.7 in ACE2KO-HFD vs 5.11±0.6 in WT-HFD; p 〈 0.05) with worsened whole-body insulin resistance. We subjected hearts to ex vivo aerobic perfusions to measure cardiac energy metabolism. ACE2KO-HFD hearts showed markedly decreased cardiac work along with reduced insulin response suggesting increased myocardial insulin resistance. ACE2KO-HFD hearts relied predominantly on fat metabolism as the energy source, a feature observed in cardiomyopathy. Pressure-volume analysis showed worsened diastolic dysfunction in the ACE2KO hearts compared to WT hearts in response to HFD, which was primarily due to impaired active relaxation (Tau(Weiss): 7.41±0.4 in ACE2KO-HFD vs 6.26±0.52 in WT-HFD; p 〈 0.05). Metabolic and functional changes in the ACE2KO-HFD were associated with impaired insulin signaling (decreased p-Akt) and decreased phosphorylation of AMPK. ACE2KO-HFD hearts also showed increased pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 expression and phosphorylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase. Conclusions: Renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in cardiac metabolism. We found a novel role of ACE2 in cardiac insulin signaling, where ACE2 negatively regulates obesity and hyperglycemia induced cardiac insulin-resistance and alterations in cardiac metabolism.

    Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is threating our health systems and daily lives and is responsible for causing substantial morbidity and mortality. In particular, aged individuals and individuals with comorbidities, including obesity, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension, have significantly higher risks of hospitalization and death than normal individuals. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, obesity, and hypertension. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), belonging to the RAS family, has received much attention during this COVID-19 pandemic, owing to the fact that SARS-CoV-2 uses ACE2 as a receptor for cellular entry. Additionally, the RAS greatly affects energy metabolism in certain pathological conditions, including cardiac failure, diabetes mellitus, and viral infections. This article discusses the potential mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 modulates the RAS and energy metabolism in individuals with obesity and diabetes mellitus. The article aims to highlight the appropriate strategies for combating the COVID-19 pandemic in the clinical setting and emphasize on the areas that require further investigation in relation to COVID-19 infections in patients with obesity and diabetes mellitus from the viewpoint of endocrinology and metabolism.

    Abstract: Rhabdomyosarcoma exhibits tumor‐specific energy metabolic changes that include the Warburg effect. Since targeting cancer metabolism is a promising therapeutic approach, we examined the antitumor effects of suppressing lipid metabolism in rhabdomyosarcoma. We suppressed lipid metabolism in rhabdomyosarcoma cells in vitro by administering an inhibitor of malonyl‐CoA decarboxylase, which increases malonyl‐CoA and decreases fatty acid oxidation. Suppression of lipid metabolism in rhabdomyosarcoma cells decreased cell proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest. Metabolomic analysis showed an increase in glycolysis and inactivation of the pentose phosphate pathway. Immunoblotting analysis revealed upregulated expression of the autophagy marker LC3A/B‐II due to increased phosphorylation of AMP‐activated protein kinase, a nutrient sensor. p21 protein expression level also increased. Inhibition of both lipid metabolism and autophagy suppressed tumor proliferation and increased apoptosis. In vivo studies involved injection of human Rh30 cells into the gastrocnemius muscle of 6‐week‐old female nude mice, which were divided into normal chow and low‐fat diet groups. The mice fed a low‐fat diet for 21 days showed reduced tumor growth compared to normal chow diet‐fed mice. Suppression of lipid metabolism disrupted the equilibrium of the cancer‐specific metabolism in rhabdomyosarcoma, resulting in a tumor growth‐inhibition effect. Therefore, the development of treatments focusing on the lipid dependence of rhabdomyosarcoma is highly promising.

    Abstract: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may alter cardiac energy metabolism in heart failure. Angiotensin II (ANG II), the main effector of the RAS in heart failure, has emerged as an important regulator of cardiac hypertrophy and energy metabolism. We studied the metabolic perturbations and insulin response in an ANG II-induced hypertrophy model. Ex vivo heart perfusion showed that hearts from ANG II-treated mice had a lower response to insulin with significantly reduced rates of glucose oxidation in association with increased pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) levels. Palmitate oxidation rates were significantly reduced in response to insulin in vehicle-treated hearts but remained unaltered in ANG II-treated hearts. Furthermore, phosphorylation of Akt was also less response to insulin in ANG II-treated wild-type (WT) mice, suggestive of insulin resistance. We evaluated the role of PDK4 in the ANG II-induced pathology and showed that deletion of PDK4 prevented ANG II-induced diastolic dysfunction and normalized glucose oxidation to basal levels. ANG II-induced reduction in the levels of the deacetylase, SIRT3, was associated with increased acetylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and a reduced PDH activity. In conclusion, our findings show that a combination of insulin resistance and decrease in PDH activity are involved in ANG II-induced reduction in glucose oxidation, resulting in cardiac inefficiency. ANG II reduces PDH activity via acetylation of PDH complex, as well as increased phosphorylation in response to increased PDK4 levels.

    Abstract: The renin-angiotensin system, especially angiotensin II (ANG II), plays a key role in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. ANG 1–7 has counteracting effects on ANG II and is known to exert beneficial effects on diabetic nephropathy. We studied the mechanism of ANG 1–7-induced beneficial effects on diabetic nephropathy in db/db mice. We administered ANG 1–7 (0.5 mg·kg −1 ·day −1 ) or saline to 5-mo-old db/db mice for 28 days via implanted micro-osmotic pumps. ANG 1–7 treatment reduced kidney weight and ameliorated mesangial expansion and increased urinary albumin excretion, characteristic features of diabetic nephropathy, in db/db mice. ANG 1–7 decreased renal fibrosis in db/db mice, which correlated with dephosphorylation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway. ANG 1–7 treatment also suppressed the production of reactive oxygen species via attenuation of NADPH oxidase activity and reduced inflammation in perirenal adipose tissue. Furthermore, ANG 1–7 treatment decreased lipid accumulation in db/db kidneys, accompanied by increased expressions of renal adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL). Alterations in ATGL expression correlated with increased SIRT1 expression and deacetylation of FOXO1. The upregulation of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 levels in diabetic nephropathy was normalized by ANG 1–7. ANG 1–7 treatment exerts renoprotective effects on diabetic nephropathy, associated with reduction of oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and lipotoxicity. ANG 1–7 can represent a promising therapy for diabetic nephropathy.
