摘要
Cardiac autophagy is inhibited in type 1 diabetes. However, it remains unknown if the reduced autophagy contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. We addressed this question using mouse models with gain- and loss-of-autophagy. Autophagic flux was inhibited in diabetic hearts when measured at multiple time points after diabetes induction by streptozotocin as assessed by protein levels of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 form 2 (LC3-II) or GFP-LC3 puncta in the absence and presence of the lysosome inhibitor bafilomycin A1. Autophagy in diabetic hearts was further reduced in beclin 1- or Atg16-deficient mice but was restored partially or completely by overexpression of beclin 1 to different levels. Surprisingly, diabetes-induced cardiac damage was substantially attenuated in beclin 1- and Atg16-deficient mice as shown by improved cardiac function as well as reduced levels of oxidative stress, interstitial fibrosis, and myocyte apoptosis. In contrast, diabetic cardiac damage was dose-dependently exacerbated by beclin 1 overexpression. The cardioprotective effects of autophagy deficiency were reproduced in OVE26 diabetic mice. These effects were associated with partially restored mitophagy and increased expression and mitochondrial localization of Rab9, an essential regulator of a non-canonical alternative autophagic pathway. Together, these findings demonstrate that the diminished autophagy is an adaptive response that limits cardiac dysfunction in type 1 diabetes, presumably through up-regulation of alternative autophagy and mitophagy.Background:Autophagy activity is reduced in type 1 diabetic heart, but the functional role remains unclear.Results:Further reduction in autophagy protects against diabetic heart injury, whereas restoration of autophagy exacerbates cardiac damage.Conclusion:The diminished autophagy limits cardiac dysfunction in type 1 diabetes.Significance:Understanding the functional role of autophagy will facilitate drug design to fight diabetic heart disease.
