Abstract

Fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is a primary energy source for meeting the heart's energy requirements. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-delta (PPAR-delta) may have important roles in FAO. But it remains unclear whether PPAR-delta is required for maintaining basal myocardial FAO. We show that cre-loxP-mediated cardiomyocyte-restricted deletion of PPAR-delta in mice downregulates constitutive expression of key FAO genes and decreases basal myocardial FAO. These mice have cardiac dysfunction, progressive myocardial lipid accumulation, cardiac hypertrophy and congestive heart failure with reduced survival. Thus, chronic myocardial PPAR-delta deficiency leads to lipotoxic cardiomyopathy. Together, our data show that PPAR-delta is a crucial determinant of constitutive myocardial FAO and is necessary to maintain energy balance and normal cardiac function. We suggest that PPAR-delta is a potential therapeutic target in treating lipotoxic cardiomyopathy and other heart diseases.

  • Impaired mitochondrial FAO in cardiomyocyte-restricted PPAR-δ knockout mice leads to heart failure and lipid accumulation in the absence of an increase in lipid uptake pathways.

    “Impaired mitochondrial FAO in cardiomyocyte-restricted PPAR-δ knockout (KO) mice leads to heart failure and lipid accumulation in the absence of an increase in lipid uptake pathways, underscoring the important role of mitochondrial FAO capacity in contributing to the pathogenesis of lipotoxicity (47).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
