Abstract

Congestive heart failure (CHF) induces alterations in energy metabolism and mitochondrial function that span cardiac as well as skeletal muscles. Whether these defects originate from altered mitochondrial DNA copy number and/or mitochondrial gene transcription is not known at present, nor are the factors that control mitochondrial capacity in different muscle types completely understood. We used an experimental model of CHF induced by aortic banding in the rat and investigated mitochondrial respiration and enzyme activity of biochemical mitochondrial markers in cardiac, slow and fast skeletal muscles. We quantified mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), expression of nuclear (COX IV) and mitochondrial (COX I) encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunits as well as nuclear factors involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and in the necessary coordinated interplay between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes in health and CHF. CHF induced a decrease in oxidative capacity and mitochondrial enzyme activities with a parallel decrease in the mRNA level of COX I and IV, but no change in mtDNA content. The expression of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma co‐activator 1α (PGC‐1α) gene was downregulated in CHF, as well as nuclear respiratory factor 2 and mitochondrial transcription factor A, which act downstream from PGC‐1α. Most interestingly, only the level of PGC‐1α expression was strongly correlated with muscle oxidative capacity in cardiac and skeletal muscles, both in healthy and CHF rats. Mitochondrial gene transcription is reduced in CHF, and PGC‐1α appears as a potential modulator of muscle oxidative capacity under these experimental conditions.

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.
