During fasting, when overall metabolism changes, the contribution of glucose and fatty acids (FA) to cardiac energy production alters as well. Here, we examined if the heart is able to adapt to such fasting-induced changes by modulation of its gene expression. Rats were fed ad libitum or fasted for 46 h, resulting in reduced circulating glucose levels and a 3-fold rise in FA. Besides changes in the cardiac activity or content of proteins involved in glucose or FA metabolism, mRNA levels also altered. The cardiac expression of genes coding for glucose-handling proteins (glucose transporter GLUT4, hexokinase I and II) was up to 70% lower in fasted than in fed rats. In contrast, the mRNA levels of various genes involved in FA transport and metabolism (FA translocase/CD36, muscle-type carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1, long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase) and of the uncoupling protein UCP-3 increased over 50% in hearts of fasted rats. Surprisingly, mRNA levels of the fatty acid- activated transcription factors PPAR
and PPARß/
were reduced in hearts of fasted rats, whereas in livers, fasting led to a marked rise in PPAR mRNA. Reducing FA levels by nicotinic acid administration during the final 8 h of fasting did not affect the expression of the majority of metabolic genes, but totally abolished the induction of UCP-3.
In conclusion, the adult rat heart responds to changes in nutritional status, as provoked by 46 h fasting, through adjustment of glucose as well as FA metabolism at the level of gene expression. —Van der Lee, K.
