Mutations of the AMP-activated kinase gamma 2 subunit (AMPK?2), N488I
(AMPK?2(NI)) and R531G (AMPK?2(RG)), are associated with Wolff-Parkinson-White
(WPW) syndrome, a cardiac disorder characterized by ventricular pre-excitation in
humans. Cardiac-specific transgenic overexpression of human AMPK?2(NI) or
AMPK?2(RG) leads to constitutive AMPK activation and the WPW phenotype in mice.
However, overexpression of these mutant proteins also caused profound,
non-physiological increase in cardiac glycogen, which might abnormally alter the
true phenotype. To investigate whether physiological levels of AMPK?2(NI) or
AMPK?2(RG) mutation cause WPW syndrome and metabolic changes in other organs, we
generated two knock-in mouse lines on the C57BL/6N background harboring mutations
of human AMPK?2(NI) and AMPK?2(RG), respectively. Similar to the reported
phenotypes of mice overexpressing AMPK?2(NI) or AMPK?2(RG) in the heart, both
lines developed WPW syndrome and cardiac hypertrophy; however, these effects were
independent of cardiac glycogen accumulation. Compared with AMPK?2(WT) mice,
AMPK?2(NI) and AMPK?2(RG) mice exhibited reduced body weight, fat mass, and liver
steatosis when fed with a high fat diet (HFD). Surprisingly, AMPK?2(RG) but not
AMPK?2(NI) mice fed with an HFD exhibited severe kidney injury characterized by
glycogen accumulation, inflammation, apoptosis, cyst formation, and impaired
renal function. These results demonstrate that expression of AMPK?2(NI) and
AMPK?2(RG) mutations at physiological levels can induce beneficial metabolic
effects but that this is accompanied by WPW syndrome. Our data also reveal an
unexpected effect of AMPK?2(RG) in the kidney, linking lifelong constitutive
activation of AMPK to a potential risk for kidney dysfunction in the context of
an HFD.
