BACKGROUND: Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSL) catalyze the conversion of
long-chain fatty acids to fatty acyl-CoAs. Cardiac-specific ACSL1 temporal
knockout at 2 months results in a shift from FA oxidation toward glycolysis that
promotes mTORC1-mediated ventricular hypertrophy. We used unbiased metabolomics
and gene expression analyses to examine the early effects of genetic inactivation
of fatty acid oxidation on cardiac metabolism, hypertrophy development, and
function. METHODS AND RESULTS: Global cardiac transcriptional analysis revealed
differential expression of genes involved in cardiac metabolism, fibrosis, and
hypertrophy development in Acsl1(H-/-) hearts 2 weeks after Acsl1 ablation.
Comparison of the 2- and 10-week transcriptional responses uncovered 137 genes
whose expression was uniquely changed upon knockdown of cardiac ACSL1, including
the distinct upregulation of fibrosis genes, a phenomenon not observed after
complete ACSL1 knockout. Metabolomic analysis identified metabolites altered in
hearts displaying partially reduced ACSL activity, and rapamycin treatment
normalized the cardiac metabolomic fingerprint. CONCLUSIONS: Short-term
cardiac-specific ACSL1 inactivation resulted in metabolic and transcriptional
derangements distinct from those observed upon complete ACSL1 knockout,
suggesting heart-specific mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) signaling that
occurs during the early stages of substrate switching. The hypertrophy observed
with partial Acsl1 ablation occurs in the context of normal cardiac function and
is reminiscent of a physiological process, making this a useful model to study
the transition from physiological to pathological hypertrophy.
