BACKGROUND: Mutation of the PRDM16 gene has been associated with human cardiomyopathy. The PRDM16 protein is a transcriptional regulator affecting cardiac development via Tbx5 and Hand1 regulating myocardial structure. Biallelic Prdm16 inactivation induces severe cardiac dysfunction with postnatal lethality and hypertrophy in mice. Early pathological events upon Prdm16 inactivation have not been explored. METHODS: This study performed in depth pathophysiological and molecular analysis of male and female Prdm16csp1/wt mice carrying systemic, monoallelic Prdm16 gene inactivation. We systematically assessed early molecular changes with transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Kinetic modelling of the cardiac metabolism was undertaken in silico with CARDIOKIN. RESULTS: Prdm16csp1/wt mice are viable up to 8 months, develop hypoplastic hearts, and diminished systolic performance that is more pronounced in female mice. Prdm16csp1/wt hearts demonstrate moderate alterations of specific transcripts and protein levels with consistent upregulation of pyridine nucleotide-disulphide oxidoreductase domain 2 (Pyroxd2) and the transcriptional regulator pre B-cell leukemia transcription factor interacting protein 1 (Pbxip1). The strongest concordant transcriptional upregulation was detected for Prdm16 itself probably by an autoregulatory mechanism. Prdm16csp1/wt cardiac tissue showed reduction of metabolites associated with amino acid as well as glycerol metabolism, glycolysis, and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Global lipid metabolism was also affected with accumulation of triacylglycerides detected in male Prdm16csp1/wt hearts. In addition, Prdm16csp1/wt cardiac tissue revealed diminished glutathione (GSH) and increased inosine monophosphate (IMP) levels indicating oxidative stress and a dysregulated energetics, respectively. Metabolic modelling in silico suggested lowered fatty acid utilization in male and reduced glucose utilization in female Prdm16csp1/wt cardiac tissue. CONCLUSIONS: Monoallelic Prdm16 mutation restricts cardiac performance in Prdm16csp1/wt mice.Metabolic alterations precede transcriptional dysregulation in Prdm16csp1/wt cardiac tissue. Female Prdm16csp1/wt mice develop a more pronounced phenotype indicating a sexual dimorphism at this early pathological window. This study suggests that metabolic dysregulation is an early event in PRDM16 associated cardiac pathology. |
