Enhanced glucose metabolism through activation of HIF-1α covers the energy demand in a rat embryonic heart primordium after heartbeat initiation.


ABSTRACT: The initiation of heartbeat is an essential step in cardiogenesis in the heart primordium, but it remains unclear how intracellular metabolism responds to increased energy demands after heartbeat initiation. In this study, embryos in Wistar rats at embryonic day 10, at which heartbeat begins in rats, were divided into two groups by the heart primordium before and after heartbeat initiation and their metabolic characteristics were assessed. Metabolome analysis revealed that increased levels of ATP, a main product of glucose catabolism, and reduced glutathione, a by-product of the pentose phosphate pathway, were the major determinants in the heart primordium after heartbeat initiation. Glycolytic capacity and ATP synthesis-linked mitochondrial respiration were significantly increased, but subunits in complexes of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation were not upregulated in the heart primordium after heartbeat initiation. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α was activated and a glucose transporter and rate-limiting enzymes of the glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathways, which are HIF-1α-downstream targets, were upregulated in the heart primordium after heartbeat initiation. These results suggest that the HIF-1α-mediated enhancement of glycolysis with activation of the pentose phosphate pathway, potentially leading to antioxidant defense and nucleotide biosynthesis, covers the increased energy demand in the beating and developing heart primordium.
