Cell-to-cell lactate shuttle operates in heart and is important in age-related heart failure.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have revealed a resemblance of a HIF-regulated heart and brain glycolytic profiles prompting the hypothesis that the classical cell-to-cell lactate shuttle observed between astrocytes and neurons operates also in heart - between cardiac fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes. Here, we demonstrate that co-culturing of cardiomyocytes with cardiac fibroblasts leads to orchestrated changes in expression and/or localization pattern of glucose metabolism enzymes and lactate transport proteins in both cell types. These changes are regulated by paracrine signaling using microvesicle-packed and soluble factors released to the culture medium and, taken together, they concur with the cardiac lactate shuttle hypothesis. The results presented here show that similarity of heart and brain proteomes demonstrated earlier extend to physiological level and provide a theoretical rationale for designing novel therapeutic strategies for treatment of cardiomyopathies resulting from disruption of the maturation of cardiac metabolic pathways, and of heart failure associated with metabolic complications and age-related heart failure linked with extracellular matrix deposition and hypoxia.

Project description:AimsFew randomized trials assessed the changes over time in the chronotropic heart rate (HR) reactivity (CHR), HR recovery (HRR) and exercise endurance (EE) in response to the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT). We addressed this issue by analysing the open HOMAGE (Heart OMics in Aging) trial.MethodsIn HOMAGE, 527 patients prone to heart failure were randomized to usual treatment with or without spironolactone (25-50 mg/day). The current sub-study included 113 controls and 114 patients assigned spironolactone (~70% on beta-blockers), who all completed the ISWT at baseline and at Months 1 and 9. Within-group changes over time (follow-up minus baseline) and between-group differences at each time point (spironolactone minus control) were analysed by repeated measures ANOVA, unadjusted or adjusted for sex, age and body mass index, and additionally for baseline for testing 1 and 9 month data.ResultsIrrespective of randomization, the resting HR and CHR did not change from baseline to follow-up, with the exception of a small decrease in the HR immediately post-exercise (-3.11 b.p.m.) in controls at Month 9. In within-group analyses, HR decline over the 5 min post-exercise followed a slightly lower course at the 1 month visit in controls and at the 9 month visits in both groups, but not at the 1 month visit in the spironolactone group. Compared with baseline, EE increased by two to three shuttles at Months 1 and 9 in the spironolactone group but remained unchanged in the control group. In the between-group analyses, irrespective of adjustment, there were no HR differences at any time point from rest up to 5 min post-exercise or in EE. Subgroup analyses by sex or categorized by the medians of age, left ventricular ejection fraction or glomerular filtration rate were confirmatory. Combining baseline and Months 1 and 9 data in both treatment groups, the resting HR, CHR and HRR at 1 and 5 min averaged 61.5, 20.0, 9.07 and 13.8 b.p.m. and EE 48.3 shuttles.ConclusionsSpironolactone on top of usual treatment compared with usual treatment alone did not change resting HR, CHR, HRR and EE in response to ISWT. Beta-blockade might have concealed the effects of spironolactone. The current findings demonstrate that the ISWT, already used in a wide variety of pathological conditions, is a practical instrument to measure symptom-limited exercise capacity in patients prone to developing heart failure because of coronary heart disease.
