Aims A longevity gene, Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) have common activators such as caloric restriction, oxidative stress, and exercise. The objective of this study is to characterize the role of cardiomyocyte SIRT1 in age-related impaired ischemic AMPK activation and increased susceptibility to ischemic insults. Methods and results Mice were subjected to ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery for in vivo ischemic models. The glucose and fatty acid oxidation were measured in a working heart perfusion system. The cardiac functions by echocardiography show no difference in young wild-type C57BL/6 J (WT, 4--6 months), aged WT C57BL/6 J (24--26 months), and young inducible cardiomyocyte-specific SIRT1 knockout (icSIRT1 KO) (4--6 months) mice under physiological conditions. However, after 45 mins ischaemia and 24-h reperfusion, the ejection fraction of aged WT and icSIRT1 KO mice was impaired. The aged WT and icSIRT1 KO hearts vs. young WT hearts also show an impaired post-ischemic contractile function in a Langendorff perfusion system. The infarct size of aged WT and icSIRT1 KO hearts was larger than that of young WT hearts. The immunoblotting data demonstrated that aged WT and icSIRT1 KO hearts vs. young WT hearts had impaired phosphorylation of AMPK and downstream acetyl-CoA carboxylase during ischaemia. Intriguingly, AMPK upstream LKB1 is hyper-acetylated in both aged WT and icSIRT1 KO hearts; this could blunt activation of LKB1, leading to an impaired AMPK activation. The working heart perfusion results demonstrated that SIRT1 deficiency significantly impaired substrate metabolism in the hearts; fatty acid oxidation is augmented and glucose oxidation is blunted during ischaemia and reperfusion. Adeno-associated virus (AAV9)-Sirt1 was delivered into the aged hearts via a coronary delivery approach, which significantly rescued the protein level of SIRT1 and the ischemic tolerance of aged hearts. Furthermore, AMPK agonist can rescue the tolerance of aged heart and icSIRT1 KO heart to ischemic insults. Conclusions Cardiac SIRT1 mediates AMPK activation via LKB1 deacetylation, and AMPK modulates SIRT1 activity via regulation of NAD+ level during ischaemia. SIRT1 and AMPK agonists have therapeutic potential for treatment of aging-related ischemic heart disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
