Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1b (Cpt1b) is a crucial rate-limiting enzyme in fatty acid metabolism, but its role and mechanism in early cardiac development remains unclear. Here, we show that cpt1b regulates cardiomyocyte proliferation during zebrafish development. Knocking out entire cpt1b coding sequences leads to impaired cardiomyocyte proliferation, while cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of cpt1b promotes cardiomyocyte proliferation. RNA sequencing analysis and pharmacological studies identified glutamine synthetase as a key downstream effector of cpt1b in regulating cardiomyocyte proliferation. Our study elucidates a novel mechanism whereby cpt1b promotes zebrafish cardiomyocyte proliferation through glutamine synthetase, which provides new perspectives on the significance of fatty acid metabolism in heart development and the interplay between fatty acid and amino acid metabolic pathways. |
