Interaction Information:

Comment Fasting glucose and ketone levels were lower, whereas plasma NEFAs were markedly elevated in PPARalpha -/- compared to PPARalpha+/+ mice. Plasma insulin levels and the insulin:glucose ratio in PPARalpha -/-mice trended lower in the fed state but was increased relative to wild-type mice in the fasted state. Thus, the absence of PPARalpha caused an inappropriate rise in insulin secretion during fasting-induced hypoglycemia.

Comment In the fed state, most fatty acid-derived acylcarnitine species were present at similar levels in wild-type compared to the knockout mice. Notable exceptions included acetylcarnitine (C2) and beta-OH-butyrylcarnitine (C4OH, a strong marker of beta-oxidation and ketone metabolism), both of which were markedly decreased in plasma, liver, and skeletal muscle of PPARalpha -/- mice regardless of feeding status. Succinylcarnitine (C4DC), which arises from the TCA cycle intermediate succinyl-CoA, was reduced in plasma and liver of PPARalpha -/-mice, independent of condition. Skeletal muscle concentrations of this metabolite were also low in PPARalpha -/- compared to wild-type mice, but only in the fasted state.

Succinylcarnitine

Comment In wild-type mice, fasting-induced lipolysis was accompanied by increased plasma levels of several long-chain acylcarnitine species, including C16, C18:1, and C18:2. These same metabolites were elevated an additional 2- to 3-fold in PPARalpha -/- mice. Several of the hydroxylated acylcarnitine intermediates followed a similar pattern. Likewise, in the liver of PPARalpha -/- compared to wild-type mice, fasting levels of C16 and C18:1 were elevated, but medium-chain intermediates such as C8, C10, and C12 were present at lower levels. Skeletal muscle levels of C16, C18:1, and C18:2 were also elevated in fasted PPARalpha -/- mice, whereas the medium- and shorterchain species were either unchanged or decreased relative to their wild-type counterparts. This reciprocal long- to medium/short-chain acylcarnitine profile typically reflects a metabolic block that resides distal to carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1), the enzyme that synthesizes long-chain acylcarnitines and that functions as the first committed step in beta-oxidation. When long-chain products of this enzyme cannot be processed efficiently they accumulate within tissues and can be subsequently exported into the general circulation.

Comment Also striking was the marked skeletal muscle accumulation of isovalerylcarnitine (C5), a byproduct of leucine catabolism. Whereas fasting did not alter C5 content in skeletal muscle of wild-type mice, this metabolite increased 5-fold in PPARalpha -/- animals. Pairwise correlation analysis revealed a strong positive relation between skeletal muscle C5 levels and plasma leucine/isoleucine, but only in PPARalpha -/- animals. Surprisingly, C5 levels were not elevated in the plasma of PPARalpha -/- mice, suggesting that tissue efflux of this specific metabolite might be limited for reasons that are yet unclear.

Comment Previous studies have shown that the muscle TCA cycle intermediate pool responds to changes in glucose availability and/or glycolytic activity. In agreement with these reports, fasted-state skeletal muscle content of alpha-ketoglutarate correlated strongly with blood glucose levels. Thus, the decrease in TCA cycle intermediates in muscle of the knockout mice might reflect a secondary consequence of hypoglycemia and/or glycogen depletion.

Comment The study examined hepatic transamination capacity by measuring mRNA levels of the cytosolic and mitochondrial isoforms of glutamateoxaloacetate transaminase (GOT1 and GOT2, respectively) and tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT). In wildtype mice, expression of these genes was unaffected by fasting, implying a relatively low drive for amino acid catabolism. Conversely, in PPARalpha -/- mice, overnight fasting increased hepatic mRNA levels of GOT1 and TAT 3.2- and 4.4-fold, respectively, whereas expression of the mitochondrial GOT2 mRNA was unchanged. These results fit with the known roles of the GOT1 and TAT reactions in providing amino acid-derived carbon backbones for gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis, respectively, and might explain the marked fasting-induced depletion of alpha-ketoglutarate and tyrosine in PPARalpha -/- mice.
