Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics is a sophisticated identification tool specializing in portraying protein dynamics at a molecular level. Proteomics provides biologists with a snapshot of context-dependent protein and proteoform expression, structural conformations, dynamic turnover, and protein-protein interactions. Cardiac proteomics can offer a broader and deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underscore cardiovascular disease, and it is foundational to the development of future therapeutic interventions. This review encapsulates the evolution, current technologies, and future perspectives of proteomic-based mass spectrometry as it applies to the study of the heart. Key technological advancements have allowed researchers to study proteomes at a single-cell level and employ robot-assisted automation systems for enhanced sample preparation techniques, and the increase in fidelity of the mass spectrometers has allowed for the unambiguous identification of numerous dynamic posttranslational modifications. Animal models of cardiovascular disease, ranging from early animal experiments to current sophisticated models of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, have provided the tools to study a challenging organ in the laboratory. Further technological development will pave the way for the implementation of proteomics even closer within the clinical setting, allowing not only scientists but also patients to benefit from an understanding of protein interplay as it relates to cardiac disease physiology.

Abstract
Protein posttranslational modifications are important factors that mediate the fine regulation of signaling molecules. O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine-modification (O-GlcNAcylation) is a monosaccharide modification on N-acetylglucosamine linked to the hydroxyl terminus of serine and threonine of proteins. O-GlcNAcylation is responsive to cellular stress as a reversible and posttranslational modification of nuclear, mitochondrial and cytoplasmic proteins. Mitochondrial proteins are the main targets of O-GlcNAcylation and O-GlcNAcylation is a key regulator of mitochondrial homeostasis by directly regulating the mitochondrial proteome or protein activity and function. Disruption of O-GlcNAcylation is closely related to mitochondrial dysfunction. More importantly, the O-GlcNAcylation of cardiac proteins has been proven to be protective or harmful to cardiac function. Mitochondrial homeostasis is crucial for cardiac contractile function and myocardial cell metabolism, and the imbalance of mitochondrial homeostasis plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In this review, we will focus on the interactions between protein O-GlcNAcylation and mitochondrial homeostasis and provide insights on the role of mitochondrial protein O-GlcNAcylation in CVDs.

Methylglyoxal induces cardiac dysfunction through mechanisms involving altered intracellular calcium handling in the rat heart. Chem Biol Interact 2024; 394:110949. [PMID: 38555048 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.110949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is an endogenous, highly reactive dicarbonyl metabolite generated under hyperglycaemic conditions. MGO plays a role in developing pathophysiological conditions, including diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the mechanisms involved and the molecular targets of MGO in the heart have not been elucidated. In this work, we studied the exposure-related effects of MGO on cardiac function in an isolated perfused rat heart ex vivo model. The effect of MGO on calcium homeostasis in cardiomyocytes was studied in vitro by the fluorescence indicator of intracellular calcium Fluo-4. We demonstrated that MGO induced cardiac dysfunction, both in contractility and diastolic function. In rat heart, the effects of MGO treatment were significantly limited by aminoguanidine, a scavenger of MGO, ruthenium red, a general cation channel blocker, and verapamil, an L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel blocker, demonstrating that this dysfunction involved alteration of calcium regulation. MGO induced a significant concentration-dependent increase of intracellular calcium in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, which was limited by aminoguanidine and verapamil. These results suggest that the functionality of various calcium channels is altered by MGO, particularly the L-type calcium channel, thus explaining its cardiac toxicity. Therefore, MGO could participate in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy through its impact on calcium homeostasis in cardiac cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is associated with cardiovascular complications. microRNAs translocate into subcellular organelles to modify genes involved in diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, functional properties of subcellular AGO2 (Argonaute2), a core member of miRNA machinery, remain elusive. METHODS We elucidated the function and mechanism of subcellular localized AGO2 on mouse models for diabetes and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Recombinant adeno-associated virus type 9 was used to deliver AGO2 to mice through the tail vein. Cardiac structure and functions were assessed by echocardiography and catheter manometer system. RESULTS AGO2 was decreased in mitochondria of diabetic cardiomyocytes. Overexpression of mitochondrial AGO2 attenuated diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction. AGO2 recruited TUFM, a mitochondria translation elongation factor, to activate translation of electron transport chain subunits and decrease reactive oxygen species. Malonylation, a posttranslational modification of AGO2, reduced the importing of AGO2 into mitochondria in diabetic cardiomyopathy. AGO2 malonylation was regulated by a cytoplasmic-localized short isoform of SIRT3 through a previously unknown demalonylase function. CONCLUSIONS Our findings reveal that the SIRT3-AGO2-CYTB axis links glucotoxicity to cardiac electron transport chain imbalance, providing new mechanistic insights and the basis to develop mitochondria targeting therapies for diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation, which involves the attachment of carbohydrates to proteins, is one of the most abundant protein co-translational and post-translational modifications. Advances in technology have substantially increased our knowledge of the biosynthetic pathways involved in protein glycosylation, as well as how changes in glycosylation can affect cell function. In addition, our understanding of the role of protein glycosylation in disease processes is growing, particularly in the context of immune system function, infectious diseases, neurodegeneration and cancer. Several decades ago, cell surface glycoproteins were found to have an important role in regulating ion transport across the cardiac sarcolemma. However, with very few exceptions, our understanding of how changes in protein glycosylation influence cardiovascular (patho)physiology remains remarkably limited. Therefore, in this Review, we aim to provide an overview of N-linked and O-linked protein glycosylation, including intracellular O-linked N-acetylglucosamine protein modification. We discuss our current understanding of how all forms of protein glycosylation contribute to normal cardiovascular function and their roles in cardiovascular disease. Finally, we highlight potential gaps in our knowledge about the effects of protein glycosylation on the heart and vascular system, highlighting areas for future research.

Abstract
Myocardial damage is the most serious pathological consequence of cardiovascular diseases and an important reason for their high mortality. In recent years, because of the high prevalence of systemic energy metabolism disorders (e.g., obesity, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome), complications of myocardial damage caused by these disorders have attracted widespread attention. Energy metabolism disorders are independent of traditional injury-related risk factors, such as ischemia, hypoxia, trauma, and infection. An imbalance of myocardial metabolic flexibility and myocardial energy depletion are usually the initial changes of myocardial injury caused by energy metabolism disorders, and abnormal morphology and functional destruction of the mitochondria are their important features. Specifically, mitochondria are the centers of energy metabolism, and recent evidence has shown that decreased mitochondrial function, caused by an imbalance in mitochondrial quality control, may play a key role in myocardial injury caused by energy metabolism disorders. Under chronic energy stress, mitochondria undergo pathological fission, while mitophagy, mitochondrial fusion, and biogenesis are inhibited, and mitochondrial protein balance and transfer are disturbed, resulting in the accumulation of nonfunctional and damaged mitochondria. Consequently, damaged mitochondria lead to myocardial energy depletion and the accumulation of large amounts of reactive oxygen species, further aggravating the imbalance in mitochondrial quality control and forming a vicious cycle. In addition, impaired mitochondria coordinate calcium homeostasis imbalance, and epigenetic alterations participate in the pathogenesis of myocardial damage. These pathological changes induce rapid progression of myocardial damage, eventually leading to heart failure or sudden cardiac death. To intervene more specifically in the myocardial damage caused by metabolic disorders, we need to understand the specific role of mitochondria in this context in detail. Accordingly, promising therapeutic strategies have been proposed. We also summarize the existing therapeutic strategies to provide a reference for clinical treatment and developing new therapies.

Abstract
The modification of serine and threonine amino acids of proteins by O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) regulates the activity, stability, function, and subcellular localization of proteins. Dysregulation of O-GlcNAc homeostasis is well established as a hallmark of various cardiac diseases, including cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, complications associated with diabetes, and responses to acute injuries such as oxidative stress and ischemia-reperfusion. Given the limited availability of site-specific O-GlcNAc antibodies, studies of changes in O-GlcNAcylation in the heart frequently use pan-O-GlcNAc antibodies for semiquantitative evaluation of overall O-GlcNAc levels. However, there is a high degree of variability in many published cardiac O-GlcNAc blots. For example, many blots often have regions that lack O-GlcNAc positive staining of proteins either below 50 or above 100 kDa. In some O-GlcNAc blots, only a few protein bands are detected, while in others, intense bands around 75 kDa dominate the gel due to nonspecific IgM band staining, making it difficult to visualize less intense bands. Therefore, the goal of this study was to develop a modifiable protocol that optimizes O-GlcNAc positive banding of proteins in cardiac tissue extracts. We showed that O-GlcNAc blots using CTD110.6 antibody of proteins ranging from <30 to ∼450 kDa could be obtained while also limiting nonspecific staining. We also show that some myofilament proteins are recognized by the CTD110.6 antibody. Therefore, by protocol optimization using the widely available CTD110.6 antibody, we found that it is possible to obtain pan-O-GlcNAc blots of cardiac tissue, which minimizes common limitations associated with this technique.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The post-translational modification of proteins by O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is recognized as mediating cardiac pathophysiology. However, there is considerable variability in the quality of O-GlcNAc immunoblots used to evaluate changes in cardiac O-GlcNAc levels. Here we show that with relatively minor changes to a commonly used protocol it is possible to minimize the intensity of nonspecific bands while also reproducibly generating O-GlcNAc immunoblots covering a range of molecular weights from <30 to ∼450 kDa.

Abstract
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a stress-induced cardiovascular disease with symptoms comparable to those of an acute coronary syndrome but without coronary obstruction. Takotsubo was initially considered spontaneously reversible, but epidemiological studies revealed significant long-term morbidity and mortality, the reason for which is unknown. Here, we show in a female rodent model that a single pharmacological challenge creates a stress-induced cardiomyopathy similar to Takotsubo. The acute response involves changes in blood and tissue biomarkers and in cardiac in vivo imaging acquired with ultrasound, magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography. Longitudinal follow up using in vivo imaging, histochemistry, protein and proteomics analyses evidences a continued metabolic reprogramming of the heart towards metabolic malfunction, eventually leading to irreversible damage in cardiac function and structure. The results combat the supposed reversibility of Takotsubo, point to dysregulation of glucose metabolic pathways as a main cause of long-term cardiac disease and support early therapeutic management of Takotsubo.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence highlights protein O-GlcNAcylation as a putative pathogenic contributor of diabetic vascular complications. We previously reported that elevated protein O-GlcNAcylation correlates with increased atherosclerotic lesion formation and VSMC proliferation in response to hyperglycemia. However, the role of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), regulator of O-GlcNAc signaling, in the evolution of diabetic atherosclerosis remains elusive. The goal of this study was to determine whether smooth muscle OGT (smOGT) plays a direct role in hyperglycemia-induced atherosclerotic lesion formation and SMC de-differentiation. Using tamoxifen-inducible Myh11-CreERT2 and Ogtfl/fl mice, we generated smOGTWT and smOGTKO mice, with and without ApoE-null backgrounds. Following STZ-induced hyperglycemia, smOGTWT and smOGTKO mice were kept on a standard laboratory diet for the study duration. In a parallel study, smOGTWTApoE-/- and smOGTKOApoE-/- were initiated on Western diet at 8-wks-age. Animals harvested at 14-16-wks-age were used for plasma and tissue collection. Loss of smOGT augmented SM contractile marker expression in aortic vessels of STZ-induced hyperglycemic smOGTKO mice. Consistently, smOGT deletion attenuated atherosclerotic lesion lipid burden (Oil red O), plaque area (H&E), leukocyte (CD45) and smooth muscle cell (ACTA2) abundance in Western diet-fed hyperglycemic smOGTKOApoE-/- mice. This was accompanied by increased SM contractile markers and reduced inflammatory and proliferative marker expression. Further, smOGT deletion attenuated YY1 and SRF expression (transcriptional regulators of SM contractile genes) in hyperglycemic smOGTKOApoE-/- and smOGTKO mice. These data uncover an athero-protective outcome of smOGT loss-of-function and suggest a direct regulatory role of OGT-mediated O-GlcNAcylation in VSMC de-differentiation in hyperglycemia.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate cardiomyocyte Ca2+ handling and contractile function in freshly excised human atrial tissue from diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing routine surgery. Multicellular trabeculae (283 ± 20 μm in diameter) were dissected from the endocardial surface of freshly obtained right atrial appendage samples from consenting surgical patients. Trabeculae were mounted in a force transducer at optimal length, electrically stimulated to contract, and loaded with fura-2/AM for intracellular Ca2+ measurements. The response to stimulation frequencies encompassing the physiological range was recorded at 37°C. Myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity was assessed from phase plots and high potassium contractures of force against [Ca2+ ]i . Trabeculae from diabetic patients (n = 12) had increased diastolic (resting) [Ca2+ ]i (p = 0.03) and reduced Ca2+ transient amplitude (p = 0.04) when compared to non-diabetic patients (n = 11), with no difference in the Ca2+ transient time course. Diastolic stress was increased (p = 0.008) in trabeculae from diabetic patients, and peak developed stress decreased (p ≤ 0.001), which were not accounted for by reduction in the cardiomyocyte, or contractile protein, content of trabeculae. Trabeculae from diabetic patients also displayed diminished myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity (p = 0.018) compared to non-diabetic patients. Our data provides evidence of impaired calcium handling during excitation-contraction coupling with resulting contractile dysfunction in atrial tissue from patients with type 2 diabetes in comparison to the non-diabetic. This highlights the importance of targeting cardiomyocyte Ca2+ homeostasis in developing more effective treatment options for diabetic heart disease in the future.

Abstract
O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) modulates many functions of proteins via O-GlcNAcylation that adds O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) to the serine/threonine residues of proteins. However, the role of O-GlcNAcylation in cardiac remodeling and function is not fully understood. To examine the effect of O-GlcNAcylation on pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and subsequent heart failure, transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery was performed in wild type (WT) and Ogt transgenic (Ogt-Tg) mice. Four weeks after TAC (TAC4W), the heart function of Ogt-Tg mice was significantly lower than that of WT mice (reduced fractional shortening and increased ANP levels). The myocardium of left ventricle (LV) in Ogt-Tg mice became much thinner than that in WT mice. Moreover, compared to the heart tissues of WT mice, O-GlcNAcylation of GSK-3β at Ser9 was increased and phosphorylation of GSK-3β at Ser9 was reduced in the heart tissues of Ogt-Tg mice, resulting in its activation and subsequent inactivation of nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT) activity. Finally, the thinned LV wall and reduced cardiac function induced by TAC4W in Ogt-Tg mice was reversed by the treatment of a GSK-3β inhibitor, TDZD-8. These results imply that augmented O-GlcNAcylation exacerbates pressure overload-induced heart failure due to a lack of compensatory cardiac hypertrophy via O-GlcNAcylation of GSK-3β, which deprives the phosphorylation site of GSK-3β to constantly inactivate NFAT activity to prevent cardiac hypertrophy. Our findings may provide a new therapeutic strategy for cardiac hypertrophy and subsequent heart failure.

Abstract
The enzymatic modification of protein serine or threonine residues by N-acetylglucosamine, namely O-GlcNAcylation, is a ubiquitous post-translational modification that frequently occurs in the nucleus and cytoplasm. O-GlcNAcylation is dynamically regulated by two enzymes, O-GlcNAc transferase and O-GlcNAcase, and regulates nearly all cellular processes in epigenetics, transcription, translation, cell division, metabolism, signal transduction and stress. Aberrant O-GlcNAcylation has been shown in a variety of diseases, including diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. Deciphering O-GlcNAcylation remains a challenge due to its low abundance, low stoichiometry and extreme lability in most tandem mass spectrometry. Separation or enrichment of O-GlcNAc proteins or peptides from complex mixtures has been of great interest because quantitative analysis of protein O-GlcNAcylation can elucidate their functions and regulatory mechanisms in disease. However, valid and specific analytical methods are still lacking, and efforts are needed to further advance this direction. Here, we provide an overview of recent advances in various analytical methods, focusing on chemical oxidation, affinity of antibodies and lectins, hydrophilic interaction, and enzymatic addition of monosaccharides in conjugation with these methods. O-GlcNAcylation quantification has been described in detail using mass-spectrometric or non-mass-spectrometric techniques. We briefly summarized dysregulated changes in O-GlcNAcylation in disease.

Abstract
The modification of nuclear, mitochondrial, and cytosolic proteins by O-linked βN-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) has emerged as a dynamic and essential post-translational modification of mammalian proteins. O-GlcNAc is cycled on and off over 5000 proteins in response to diverse stimuli impacting protein function and, in turn, epigenetics and transcription, translation and proteostasis, metabolism, cell structure, and signal transduction. Environmental and physiological injury lead to complex changes in O-GlcNAcylation that impact cell and tissue survival in models of heat shock, osmotic stress, oxidative stress, and hypoxia/reoxygenation injury, as well as ischemic reperfusion injury. Numerous mechanisms that appear to underpin O-GlcNAc-mediated survival include changes in chaperone levels, impacts on the unfolded protein response and integrated stress response, improvements in mitochondrial function, and reduced protein aggregation. Here, we discuss the points at which O-GlcNAc is integrated into the cellular stress response, focusing on the roles it plays in the cardiovascular system and in neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Systolic and diastolic dysfunction in diabetes have frequently been associated with abnormal calcium (Ca2+) regulation. However, there is emerging evidence that Ca2+ mishandling alone is insufficient to fully explain diabetic heart dysfunction, with focus shifting to the properties of the myofilament proteins. Our aim was to examine the effects of diabetes on myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity and Ca2+ handling in left ventricular tissues isolated from the same type 2 diabetic rat hearts. We measured the force-pCa relationship in skinned left ventricular cardiomyocytes isolated from 20-week-old type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic rats. Myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity was greater in the diabetic relative to non-diabetic cardiomyocytes, and this corresponded with lower phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) at ser23/24 in the diabetic left ventricular tissues. Protein expression of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA), phosphorylation of phospholamban (PLB) at Ser16, and SERCA/PLB ratio were lower in the diabetic left ventricular tissues. However, the maximum SERCA Ca2+ uptake rate was not different between the diabetic and non-diabetic myocardium. Our data suggest that impaired contractility in the diabetic heart is not caused by SERCA Ca2+ mishandling. This study highlights the important role of the cardiac myofilament and provides new insight on the pathophysiology of diabetic heart dysfunction.

Abstract
O-GlcNAcylation is a highly dynamic, reversible and atypical glycosylation that regulates the activity, biological function, stability, sublocation and interaction of target proteins. O-GlcNAcylation receives and coordinates different signal inputs as an intracellular integrator similar to the nutrient sensor and stress receptor, which target multiple substrates with spatio-temporal analysis specifically to maintain cellular homeostasis and normal physiological functions. Our review gives a brief description of O-GlcNAcylation and its only two processing enzymes and HBP flux, which will help to better understand its physiological characteristics of sensing nutrition and environmental cues. This nutritional and stress-sensitive properties of O-GlcNAcylation allow it to participate in the precise regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism. This review discusses the mechanism of O-GlcNAcylation to alleviate metabolic disorders and the controversy about the insulin resistance of skeletal muscle. The level of global O-GlcNAcylation is precisely controlled and maintained in the “optimal zone”, and its abnormal changes is a potential factor in the pathogenesis of cancer, neurodegeneration, diabetes and diabetic complications. Although the essential role of O-GlcNAcylation in skeletal muscle physiology has been widely studied and recognized, it still is underestimated and overlooked. This review highlights the latest progress and potential mechanisms of O-GlcNAcylation in the regulation of skeletal muscle contraction and structural properties.

Abstract
The cardiovascular benefits of regular exercise are unequivocal, yet patients with type 2 diabetes respond poorly to exercise due to a reduced cardiac reserve. The contractile response of diabetic cardiomyocytes to beta-adrenergic stimulation is attenuated, which may result in altered myofilament calcium sensitivity and post-translational modifications of cardiac troponin I (cTnI). Treadmill running increases myofilament calcium sensitivity in non‑diabetic rats, and thus we hypothesized that endurance training would increase calcium sensitivity of diabetic cardiomyocytes and alter site-specific phosphorylation of cTnI. Calcium sensitivity, or pCa50, was measured in Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) non-diabetic (nDM) and diabetic (DM) rat hearts after 8 weeks of either a sedentary (SED) or progressive treadmill running (TR) intervention. Skinned cardiomyocytes were connected to a capacitance-gauge transducer and a torque motor to measure force as a function of pCa (‑log[Ca2+]). Specific phospho-sites on cTnI and O‑GlcNAcylation were quantified by immunoblot and total protein phosphorylation by fluorescent gel staining (ProQ Diamond). The novel finding in this study was that training increased pCa50 in both DM and nDM cardiomyocytes (p = 0.009). Phosphorylation of cTnI amino acid residues Ser23/24, a crucial protein kinase A site, and Threonine (Thr)144, was lower in DM hearts, but there was no effect of training on site-specific phosphorylation. Additionally, total phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation levels were not different between SED and TR groups. These findings suggest that regular exercise may benefit the diabetic heart by specifically targeting myofilament contractile function.

Abstract
The heart is a highly metabolic organ with extensive energy demands and hence relies on numerous fuel substrates including fatty acids and glucose. However, oxidative stress is a natural by-product of metabolism that, in excess, can contribute towards DNA damage and poly-ADP-ribose polymerase activation. This activation inhibits key glycolytic enzymes, subsequently shunting glycolytic intermediates into non-oxidative glucose pathways such as the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP). In this review we provide evidence supporting the dual role of the HBP, i.e. playing a unique role in cardiac physiology and pathophysiology where acute upregulation confers cardioprotection while chronic activation contributes to the onset and progression of cardio-metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertrophy, ischemic heart disease, and heart failure. Thus although the HBP has emerged as a novel therapeutic target for such conditions, proposed interventions need to be applied in a context- and pathology-specific manner to avoid any potential drawbacks of relatively low cardiac HBP activity.

Abstract
Molecular mechanisms mediating cardiac hypertrophy by glucose metabolism are incompletely understood. Hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP), an accessory pathway of glycolysis, is known to be involved in the attachment of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine motif (O-GlcNAcylation) to proteins, a post-translational modification. We here demonstrate that glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase 2 (GFAT2), a critical HBP enzyme, is a major isoform of GFAT in the heart and is increased in response to several hypertrophic stimuli, including isoproterenol (ISO). Knockdown of GFAT2 suppresses ISO-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, accompanied by suppression of Akt O-GlcNAcylation and activation. Knockdown of GFAT2 does not affect anti-hypertrophic effect by Akt inhibition. Administration of glucosamine, a substrate of HBP, induces protein O-GlcNAcylation, Akt activation, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. In mice, 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine, an inhibitor of GFAT, attenuates ISO-induced protein O-GlcNAcylation, Akt activation, and cardiac hypertrophy. Our results demonstrate that GFAT2 mediates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by HBP-O-GlcNAcylation-Akt pathway and could be a critical therapeutic target of cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Diabetes is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease via contributing and/or triggering significant cellular signaling and metabolic and structural alterations at the level of the heart and the whole body. The main cause of mortality and morbidity in diabetic patients is cardiovascular disease including diabetic cardiomyopathy. Therefore, understanding how diabetes increases the incidence of diabetic cardiomyopathy and how it mediates the major perturbations in cell signaling and energy metabolism should help in the development of therapeutics to prevent these perturbations. One of the significant metabolic alterations in diabetes is a marked increase in cardiac fatty acid oxidation rates and the domination of fatty acids as the major energy source in the heart. This increased reliance of the heart on fatty acids in the diabetic has a negative impact on cardiac function and structure through a number of mechanisms. It also has a detrimental effect on cardiac efficiency and worsens the energy status in diabetes, mainly through inhibiting cardiac glucose oxidation. Furthermore, accelerated cardiac fatty acid oxidation rates in diabetes also make the heart more vulnerable to ischemic injury. In this review, we discuss how cardiac energy metabolism is altered in diabetic cardiomyopathy and the impact of cardiac insulin resistance on the contribution of glucose and fatty acid to overall cardiac ATP production and cardiac efficiency. Furthermore, how diabetes influences the susceptibility of the myocardium to ischemia/reperfusion injury and the role of the changes in glucose and fatty acid oxidation in mediating these effects are also discussed.

Abstract
Glycation and glycosylation are non-enzymatic and enzymatic reactions, respectively, of glucose, glucose metabolites, and other reducing sugars with different substrates, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Increased availability of glucose is a recognized risk factor for the onset and progression of diabetes-mellitus-associated disorders, among which cardiovascular diseases have a great impact on patient mortality. Both advanced glycation end products, the result of non-enzymatic glycation of substrates, and O-linked-N-Acetylglucosaminylation, a glycosylation reaction that is controlled by O-N-AcetylGlucosamine (GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA), have been shown to play a role in cardiovascular remodeling. In this review, we aim (1) to summarize the most recent data regarding the role of glycation and O-linked-N-Acetylglucosaminylation as glucose-related pathogenetic factors and disease markers in cardiovascular remodeling, and (2) to discuss potential common mechanisms linking these pathways to the dysregulation and/or loss of function of different biomolecules involved in this field.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder with a chronic hyperglycaemic state. Cardiovascular diseases are the primary cause of mortality in patients with diabetes. Increasing evidence supports the existence of diabetic cardiomyopathy, a cardiac dysfunction with impaired cardiac contraction and relaxation, independent of coronary and/or valvular complications. Diabetic cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure. Several preclinical and clinical studies have aimed to decipher the underlying mechanisms of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Among all the co-factors, hyperglycaemia seems to play an important role in this pathology. Hyperglycaemia has been shown to alter cardiac metabolism and function through several deleterious mechanisms, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, accumulation of advanced glycated end-products and upregulation of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway. These mechanisms are responsible for the activation of hypertrophic pathways, epigenetic modifications, mitochondrial dysfunction, cell apoptosis, fibrosis and calcium mishandling, leading to cardiac stiffness, as well as contractile and relaxation dysfunction. This review aims to describe the hyperglycaemic-induced alterations that participate in diabetic cardiomyopathy, and their correlation with the severity of the disease and patient mortality, and to provide an overview of cardiac outcomes of glucose-lowering therapy.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? In Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats, does cardiomyocyte myofilament function change through the time course of diabetes and what are the mechanisms behind alterations in calcium sensitivity? What is the main finding and its importance? Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats had increased myofilament calcium sensitivity and reduced phosphorylation at cardiac troponin I without differential O-GlcNAcylation. ABSTRACT The diabetic heart has impaired systolic and diastolic function independent of other comorbidities. The availability of calcium is altered, but does not fully explain the cardiac dysfunction seen in the diabetic heart. Thus, we explored if myofilament calcium regulation of contraction is altered while also categorizing the levels of phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation in the myofilaments. Calcium sensitivity (pCa50 ) was measured in Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rat hearts at the initial stage of diabetes (12 weeks old) and after 8 weeks of uncontrolled hyperglycaemia (20 weeks old) and in non-diabetic (nDM) littermates. Skinned cardiomyocytes were connected to a capacitance-gauge transducer and a torque motor to measure force as a function of pCa (-log[Ca2+ ]). Fluorescent gel stain (ProQ Diamond) was used to measure total protein phosphorylation. Specific phospho-sites on cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and total cTnI O-GlcNAcylation were quantified using immunoblot. pCa50 was greater in both 12- and 20-week-old diabetic (DM) rats compared to nDM littermates (P = 0.0001). Total cTnI and cTnI serine 23/24 phosphorylation were lower in DM rats (P = 0.003 and P = 0.01, respectively), but cTnI O-GlcNAc protein expression was not different. pCa50 is greater in DM rats and corresponds with an overall reduction in cTnI phosphorylation. These findings indicate that myofilament calcium sensitivity is increased and cTnI phosphorylation is reduced in ZDF DM rats and suggests an important role for cTnI phosphorylation in the DM heart.

Abstract
O-GlcNAcylation is a ubiquitous post-translational modification that is extremely labile and plays a significant role in physiology, including the heart. Sustained activation of cardiac O-GlcNAcylation is frequently associated with alterations in cellular metabolism, leading to detrimental effects on cardiovascular function. This is particularly true during conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiac remodelling, heart failure and arrhythmogenesis. Paradoxically, transient elevation of cardiac protein O-GlcNAcylation can also exert beneficial effects in the heart. There is compelling evidence to suggest that a complex interaction between O-GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation also exists in the heart. Beyond direct functional consequences on cardiomyocytes, O-GlcNAcylation also acts indirectly by altering the function of transcription factors that affect downstream signalling. This review focuses on the potential cardioprotective role of protein O-GlcNAcylation during ischaemia-reperfusion injury, the deleterious consequences of chronically elevated O-GlcNAc levels, the interplay between O-GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation in the cardiomyocytes and the effects of O-GlcNAcylation on other major non-myocyte cell types in the heart.

Abstract
Increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus worldwide has pushed the complex disease state to the foreground of biomedical research, especially concerning its multifaceted impacts on the cardiovascular system. Current therapies for diabetic cardiomyopathy have had a positive impact, but with diabetic patients still suffering from a significantly greater burden of cardiac pathology compared to the general population, the need for novel therapeutic approaches is great. A new therapeutic target, calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII), has emerged as a potential treatment option for preventing cardiac dysfunction in the setting of diabetes. Within the last 10 years, new evidence has emerged describing the pathophysiological consequences of CaMKII activation in the diabetic heart, the mechanisms that underlie persistent CaMKII activation, and the protective effects of CaMKII inhibition to prevent diabetic cardiomyopathy. This review will examine recent evidence tying cardiac dysfunction in diabetes to CaMKII activation. It will then discuss the current understanding of the mechanisms by which CaMKII activity is enhanced during diabetes. Finally, it will examine the benefits of CaMKII inhibition to treat diabetic cardiomyopathy, including contractile dysfunction, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and arrhythmogenesis. We intend this review to serve as a critical examination of CaMKII inhibition as a therapeutic strategy, including potential drawbacks of this approach.

Abstract
Ca2+ mishandling is a common feature in several cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure (HF). In many cases, impairment of key players in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis has been identified as the underlying mechanism of cardiac dysfunction and cardiac arrhythmias associated with HF. In this review, we summarize primary novel findings related to Ca2+ mishandling in HF progression. HF research has increasingly focused on the identification of new targets and the contribution of their role in Ca2+ handling to the progression of the disease. Recent research studies have identified potential targets in three major emerging areas implicated in regulation of Ca2+ handling: the innate immune system, bone metabolism factors and post-translational modification of key proteins involved in regulation of Ca2+ handling. Here, we describe their possible contributions to the progression of HF.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing heart failure, and the co-existence of both diseases worsens cardiovascular outcomes, hospitalization and the progression of heart failure. Despite current advancements on therapeutic strategies to manage hyperglycemia, the likelihood of developing diabetes-induced heart failure is still significant, especially with the accelerating global prevalence of diabetes and an ageing population. This raises the likelihood of other contributing mechanisms beyond hyperglycemia in predisposing diabetic patients to cardiovascular disease risk. There has been considerable interest in understanding the alterations in cardiac structure and function in the diabetic patients, collectively termed as "diabetic cardiomyopathy". However, the factors that contribute to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathies is not fully understood. This review summarizes the main characteristics of diabetic cardiomyopathies, and the basic mechanisms that contribute to its occurrence. This includes perturbations in insulin resistance, fuel preference, reactive oxygen species generation, inflammation, cell death pathways, neurohormonal mechanisms, advanced glycated end-products accumulation, lipotoxicity, glucotoxicity, and posttranslational modifications in the heart of the diabetic. This review also discusses the impact of antihyperglycemic therapies on the development of heart failure, as well as how current heart failure therapies influence glycemic control in diabetic patients. We also highlight the current knowledge gaps in understanding how diabetes induces heart failure.

Abstract
AIMS The glucose-driven enzymatic modification of myocardial proteins by the sugar moiety, β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), is increased in pre-clinical models of diabetes, implicating protein O-GlcNAc modification in diabetes-induced heart failure. Our aim was to specifically examine cardiac manipulation of the two regulatory enzymes of this process on the cardiac phenotype, in the presence and absence of diabetes, utilising cardiac-targeted recombinant-adeno-associated viral-vector-6 (rAAV6)-mediated gene delivery. METHODS AND RESULTS In human myocardium, total protein O-GlcNAc modification was elevated in diabetic relative to non-diabetic patients, and correlated with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. The impact of rAAV6-delivered O-GlcNAc transferase (rAAV6-OGT, facilitating protein O-GlcNAcylation), O-GlcNAcase (rAAV6-OGA, facilitating de-O-GlcNAcylation) and empty vector (null) were determined in non-diabetic and diabetic mice. In non-diabetic mice, rAAV6-OGT was sufficient to impair LV diastolic function and induce maladaptive cardiac remodelling, including cardiac fibrosis and increased Myh-7 and Nppa pro-hypertrophic gene expression, recapitulating characteristics of diabetic cardiomyopathy. In contrast, rAAV6-OGA (but not rAAV6-OGT) rescued LV diastolic function and adverse cardiac remodelling in diabetic mice. Molecular insights implicated impaired cardiac PI3K(p110α)-Akt signalling as a potential contributing mechanism to the detrimental consequences of rAAV6-OGT in vivo. In contrast, rAAV6-OGA preserved PI3K(p110α)-Akt signalling in diabetic mouse myocardium in vivo and prevented high glucose-induced impairments in mitochondrial respiration in human cardiomyocytes in vitro. CONCLUSION Maladaptive protein O-GlcNAc modification is evident in human diabetic myocardium, and is a critical regulator of the diabetic heart phenotype. Selective targeting of cardiac protein O-GlcNAcylation to restore physiological O-GlcNAc balance may represent a novel therapeutic approach for diabetes-induced heart failure. TRANSLATIONAL PERSPECTIVE There remains a lack of effective clinical management of diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction, even via conventional intensive glucose-lowering approaches. Here we reveal that the modification of myocardial proteins by O-GlcNAc, a glucose-driven process, is not only increased in human diabetic myocardium, but correlates with reduced cardiac function in affected patients. Moreover, manipulation of the two regulatory enzymes of this process exert opposing influences on the heart, whereby increasing O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) is sufficient to replicate the cardiac phenotype of diabetes (in the absence of this disease), while increasing O-GlcNAc-ase (OGA) rescues diabetes-induced impairments in both cardiac dysfunction and remodelling. Cardiac O-GlcNAcylation thus represents a novel therapeutic target for diabetes-induced heart failure.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. While the major focus of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions has been on targeting disease pathophysiology and limiting predisposing factors, our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of CVDs remains incomplete. One mechanism that has recently emerged is protein O-GlcNAcylation. This is a dynamic, site-specific reversible post-translational modification of serine and threonine residues on target proteins and is controlled by two enzymes: O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT) and O-linked β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (OGA). Protein O-GlcNAcylation alters the cellular functions of these target proteins which play vital roles in pathways that modulate vascular homeostasis and cardiac function. Through this review, we aim to give insights on the role of protein O-GlcNAcylation in cardiovascular diseases and identify potential therapeutic targets in this pathway for development of more effective medicines to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are major unsolved public health problems, and diabetes is an independent risk factor for AF. However, the mechanism(s) underlying this clinical association is unknown. ROS and protein O-GlcNAcylation (OGN) are increased in diabetic hearts, and calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) is a proarrhythmic signal that may be activated by ROS (oxidized CaMKII, ox-CaMKII) and OGN (OGN-CaMKII). We induced type 1 (T1D) and type 2 DM (T2D) in a portfolio of genetic mouse models capable of dissecting the role of ROS and OGN at CaMKII and global OGN in diabetic AF. Here, we showed that T1D and T2D significantly increased AF, and this increase required CaMKII and OGN. T1D and T2D both required ox-CaMKII to increase AF; however, we did not detect OGN-CaMKII or a role for OGN-CaMKII in diabetic AF. Collectively, our data affirm CaMKII as a critical proarrhythmic signal in diabetic AF and suggest ROS primarily promotes AF by ox-CaMKII, while OGN promotes AF by a CaMKII-independent mechanism(s). These results provide insights into the mechanisms for increased AF in DM and suggest potential benefits for future CaMKII and OGN targeted therapies.

Abstract
The post-translational modification of serine and threonine residues of proteins by O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) regulates diverse cellular processes in the cardiovascular system. UDP-GlcNAc is a substrate for O-GlcNAc transferase, which catalyzes the attachment of O-GlcNAc to proteins. O-GlcNAcase catalyzes the removal of O-GlcNAc from proteins. UDP-GlcNAc is the end product of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway, which is regulated primarily by glucose-6-phosphate-Glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT). GFAT catalyzes the formation of glucosamine-6-phosphate from fructose-6-phosphate and glutamine. Whereas O-GlcNAc is essential for cell viability, sustained increases in O-GlcNAc levels have been implicated in the etiology of many chronic diseases and is associated with glucose toxicity and diabetic complications in various organs including the cardiovascular system. This review provides an overview of the regulation of protein O-GlcNAcylation followed by a discussion of potential mechanisms by which dysregulation in O-GlcNAc cycling contributes to the adverse effects of diabetes on the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
In non-diabetic patients with severe disease, such as acute myocardial infarction or acute heart failure, admission blood glucose level is associated with their short-term and long-term mortality. We examined whether transient elevation of glucose affects contractile properties in non-diabetic hearts. Force, intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), and sarcomere length were measured in trabeculae from rat hearts. To assess contractile properties, maximum velocity of contraction (Max dF/dt) and minimum velocity of relaxation (Min dF/dt) were calculated. The ratio of phosphorylated troponin I (P-TnI) to troponin I (TnI) was measured. One hour after elevation of glucose from 150 to 400 mg/dL, developed force, Max dF/dt, and Min dF/dt were reduced without changes in [Ca2+]i transients at 2.5 Hz stimulation and 2.0 mM [Ca2+]o, while developed force and [Ca2+]i transients showed no changes at 0.5 Hz stimulation and 0.7 mM [Ca2+]o. In the presence of 1 μM KN-93, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinaseII (CaMKII) inhibitor, or 50 μM diazo-5-oxonorleucine, a L-glutamine-D-fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase inhibitor, the reduction of contractile properties after elevation of glucose was suppressed. Furthermore, 1 h after elevation of glucose to 400 mg/dL at 2.0 mM [Ca2+]o, the ratio of P-TnI to TnI was increased. These results suggest that in non-diabetic hearts under higher Ca2+-load, transient elevation of glucose for 1 h reduces contractile properties probably by activating CaMKII through O-GlcNAcylation. Thus, in the patients with severe disease, transient elevation of blood glucose, such as due to stress, may worsen cardiac function and thereby affect their mortality without known diabetes.

Abstract
Cardiomyocyte L-type Ca2+ channels (Cavs) are targets of signaling pathways that modulate channel activity in response to physiologic stimuli. Cav regulation is typically transient and beneficial but chronic stimulation can become pathologic; therefore, gaining a more complete understanding of Cav regulation is of critical importance. Intracellular O-linked glycosylation (O-GlcNAcylation), which is the result of two enzymes that dynamically add and remove single N-acetylglucosamines to and from intracellular serine/threonine residues (OGT and OGA respectively), has proven to be an increasingly important post-translational modification that contributes to the regulation of many physiologic processes. However, there is currently no known role for O-GlcNAcylation in the direct regulation of Cav activity nor is its contribution to cardiac electrical signaling and EC coupling well understood. Here we aimed to delineate the role of O-GlcNAcylation in regulating cardiomyocyte L-type Cav activity and its subsequent effect on EC coupling by utilizing a mouse strain possessing an inducible cardiomyocyte-specific OGT-null-transgene. Ablation of the OGT-gene in adult cardiomyocytes (OGTKO) reduced OGT expression and O-GlcNAcylation by > 90%. Voltage clamp recordings indicated an ~ 40% reduction in OGTKO Cav current (ICa), but with increased efficacy of adrenergic stimulation, and Cav steady-state gating and window current were significantly depolarized. Consistently, OGTKO cardiomyocyte intracellular Ca2+ release and contractility were diminished and demonstrated greater beat-to-beat variability. Additionally, we show that the Cav α1 and β2 subunits are O-GlcNAcylated while α2δ1 is not. Echocardiographic analyses indicated that the reductions in OGTKO cardiomyocyte Ca2+ handling and contractility were conserved at the whole-heart level as evidenced by significantly reduced left-ventricular contractility in the absence of hypertrophy. The data indicate, for the first time, that O-GlcNAc signaling is a critical and direct regulator of cardiomyocyte ICa achieved through altered Cav expression, gating, and response to adrenergic stimulation; these mechanisms have significant implications for understanding how EC coupling is regulated in health and disease.

Abstract
A four-dimensional model was built to mimic the cross-talk among plasma glucose, plasma insulin, intracellular glucose and cytoplasmic calcium of a cardiomyocyte. A time delay was considered to represent the time required for performing various cellular mechanisms between activation of insulin receptor and subsequent glucose entry from extracellular region into intracellular region of a cardiac cell. We analysed the delay-induced model and deciphered conditions for stability and bifurcation. Extensive numerical computations were performed to validate the analytical results and give further insights. Sensitivity study of the system parameters using LHS-PRCC method reveals that some rate parameters, which represent the input of plasma glucose, absorption of glucose by noncardiac cells and insulin production, are sensitive and may cause significant change in the system dynamics. It was observed that the time taken for transportation of extracellular glucose into the cell through GLUT4 plays an important role in maintaining physiological oscillations of the state variables. Parameter recalibration exercise showed that reduced input rate of glucose in the blood plasma or an alteration in transportation delay may be used for therapeutic targets in diabetic-like condition for maintaining normal cardiac function.

Abstract
Background Perturbations in myocardial substrate utilization have been proposed to contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiac dysfunction in diabetic subjects. The failing heart in nondiabetics tends to decrease reliance on fatty acid and glucose oxidation, and increases reliance on ketone body oxidation. In contrast, little is known regarding the mechanisms mediating this shift among all 3 substrates in diabetes mellitus. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that changes in myocardial glucose utilization directly influence ketone body catabolism. Methods and Results We examined ventricular-cardiac tissue from the following murine models: (1) streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus; (2) high-fat-diet-induced glucose intolerance; and transgenic inducible cardiac-restricted expression of (3) glucose transporter 4 (transgenic inducible cardiac restricted expression of glucose transporter 4); or (4) dominant negative O-GlcNAcase. Elevated blood glucose (type 1 diabetes mellitus and high-fat diet mice) was associated with reduced cardiac expression of β-hydroxybutyrate-dehydrogenase and succinyl-CoA:3-oxoacid CoA transferase. Increased myocardial β-hydroxybutyrate levels were also observed in type 1 diabetes mellitus mice, suggesting a mismatch between ketone body availability and utilization. Increased cellular glucose delivery in transgenic inducible cardiac restricted expression of glucose transporter 4 mice attenuated cardiac expression of both Bdh1 and Oxct1 and reduced rates of myocardial BDH1 activity and β-hydroxybutyrate oxidation. Moreover, elevated cardiac protein O-GlcNAcylation (a glucose-derived posttranslational modification) by dominant negative O-GlcNAcase suppressed β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase expression. Consistent with the mouse models, transcriptomic analysis confirmed suppression of BDH1 and OXCT1 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart failure compared with nondiabetic patients. Conclusions Our results provide evidence that increased glucose leads to suppression of cardiac ketolytic capacity through multiple mechanisms and identifies a potential crosstalk between glucose and ketone body metabolism in the diabetic myocardium.

Abstract
In the mid-1980s, the identification of serine and threonine residues on nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins modified by a N-acetylglucosamine moiety (O-GlcNAc) via an O-linkage overturned the widely held assumption that glycosylation only occurred in the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and secretory pathways. In contrast to traditional glycosylation, the O-GlcNAc modification does not lead to complex, branched glycan structures and is rapidly cycled on and off proteins by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA), respectively. Since its discovery, O-GlcNAcylation has been shown to contribute to numerous cellular functions, including signaling, protein localization and stability, transcription, chromatin remodeling, mitochondrial function, and cell survival. Dysregulation in O-GlcNAc cycling has been implicated in the progression of a wide range of diseases, such as diabetes, diabetic complications, cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. This review will outline our current understanding of the processes involved in regulating O-GlcNAc turnover, the role of O-GlcNAcylation in regulating cellular physiology, and how dysregulation in O-GlcNAc cycling contributes to pathophysiological processes.

O-linked β-D-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is an abundant post-translational modification (PTM) that modifies the serine or threonine residues of thousands of proteins in the nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondria. Being a major "nutrient sensor" in cells, the O-GlcNAc pathway is sensitive to cellular metabolic states. Extensive crosstalk is observed between O-GlcNAcylation and protein phosphorylation. O-GlcNAc regulates protein functions at multiple levels, including enzymatic activity, transcriptional activity, subcellular localization, intermolecular interactions and degradation. Abnormal O-GlcNAcylation is associated with many human diseases including cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. Though research on O-GlcNAc is still in its infantry, accumulating evidence suggest O-GlcNAcylation to be a promising therapeutic target. In this review, we briefly discuss the basic features of this PTM, the O-GlcNAc signaling pathway, its regulatory functions on different proteins, and its involvement in human diseases. We hope this review will provide insights to researchers who study human disease, as well as researchers who are interested in the fundamental roles of O-GlcNAcylation in all cells.

O-GlcNAc transferase affects the signal transduction of β1 adrenoceptor in adult rat cardiomyocytes by increasing the O-GlcNAcylation of β1 adrenoceptor. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2020; 528:71-77.

Abstract
O-GlcNAcylation was first found by Torres and Hart in monocytes. It is a dynamic and reversible post-translational modification catalyzed by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA). O-GlcNAcylation is increased in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients and it has been reported that OGT plays an important role in the regulation of cardiac gene transcription, cell cycle and calcium homeostasis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of OGT on signal transduction and function of β1-adrenoceptor (β1AR) in adult rat cardiomyocytes. We found that after overexpressing OGT by adenovirus vector in adult rat cardiomyocytes, cAMP formation and phosphorylation of phospholamban (PLB) at Ser16 (p16-PLB) were decreased under isoprenaline (ISO) stimulation. Over expression of OGT increased the intracellular [Ca2+]i and deteriorated the death of cardiomyocytes induced by prolonged stimulation with ISO. β1-adrenoceptor was overexpressed using a plasmid vector and then co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) followed by Western blot was employed to define the O-GlcNAcylation of β1-adrenoceptor. The results showed that O-GlcNAcylation of β1-adrenoceptor was increased in OGT overexpressed cells, and there was no significant change in the formation of cAMP and phosphorylation of PLB after β1-adrenoceptor was blocked by CGP20712A. Given that OGT affects the signal transduction of β1-adrenoceptor in adult rat cardiomyocytes by increasing the O-GlcNAcylation of β1-adrenoceptor, the mechanism revealed in this study indicates that OGT and β1AR may be therapeutic targets in patients undergoing diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In non-diabetic patients with acute coronary syndrome, stress hyperglycemia occasionally occurs and is related to their mortality. Whether transient elevation of glucose affects arrhythmia susceptibility in non-diabetic hearts with non-uniform contraction was examined.Methods and Results:Force, intracellular Ca2+([Ca2+]i), and membrane potential were measured in trabeculae from rat hearts. Non-uniform contraction was produced by a jet of paralyzing solution. Ca2+waves and arrhythmias were induced by electrical stimulation (2.0 mmol/L [Ca2+]o). The activity of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinaseII (CaMKII) was measured. An elevation of glucose from 150 to 400 mg/dL increased the velocity of Ca2+waves and the number of spontaneous action potentials triggered by electrical stimulation. Besides, the elevation of glucose increased the CaMKII activity. In the presence of 1 μmol/L KN-93, the elevation of glucose did not increase the velocity of Ca2+waves and the number of triggered action potentials. In addition, in the presence of 1 μmol/L autocamtide-2 related inhibitory peptide or 50 μmol/L diazo-5-oxonorleucine, the elevation of glucose did not increase the number of triggered action potentials. Furthermore, the elevation of glucose by adding L-glucose did not increase their number. CONCLUSIONS In non-diabetic hearts with non-uniform contraction, transient elevation of glucose increases the velocity of Ca2+waves by activating CaMKII,probably through glycosylation with O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine, thereby increasing arrhythmia susceptibility.

Abstract
Mitochondrial medicine is increasingly discussed as a promising therapeutic approach, given that mitochondrial defects are thought to contribute to many prevalent diseases and their complications. In individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM), defects in mitochondrial structure and function occur in many organs throughout the body, contributing both to the pathogenesis of DM and complications of DM. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM) is increasingly recognized as an underlying cause of increased heart failure in DM, and several mitochondrial mechanisms have been proposed to contribute to the development of DbCM. Well established mechanisms include myocardial energy depletion due to impaired adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis and mitochondrial uncoupling, and increased mitochondrial oxidative stress. A variety of upstream mechanisms of impaired ATP regeneration and increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species have been proposed, and recent studies now also suggest alterations in mitochondrial dynamics and autophagy, impaired mitochondrial Ca²⁺ uptake, decreased cardiac adiponectin action, increased O-GlcNAcylation, and impaired activity of sirtuins to contribute to mitochondrial defects in DbCM, among others. In the current review, we present and discuss the evidence that underlies both established and recently proposed mechanisms that are thought to contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction in DbCM.

Abstract
The post-translational modification of serine and threonine residues of nuclear, cytosolic, and mitochondrial proteins by O-linked β-N-acetyl glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) has long been seen as an important regulatory mechanism in the cardiovascular system. O-GlcNAcylation of cardiac proteins has been shown to contribute to the regulation of transcription, metabolism, mitochondrial function, protein quality control and turnover, autophagy, and calcium handling. In the heart, acute increases in O-GlcNAc have been associated with cardioprotection, such as those observed during ischemia/reperfusion. Conversely, chronic increases in O-GlcNAc, often associated with diabetes and nutrient excess, have been shown to contribute to cardiac dysfunction. Traditionally, many studies have linked changes in O-GlcNAc with nutrient availability and as such O-GlcNAcylation is often seen as a nutrient driven process. However, emerging evidence suggests that O-GlcNAcylation may also be regulated by non-nutrient dependent mechanisms, such as transcriptional and post-translational regulation. Therefore, the goals of this review are to provide an overview of the impact of O-GlcNAcylation in the cardiovascular system, how this is regulated and to discuss the emergence of regulatory mechanisms other than nutrient availability.

Abstract
Although the O-GlcNAcylation process was discovered in 1984, its potential role in the physiology and physiopathology of skeletal muscle only emerged 20 years later. An increasing number of publications strongly support a key role of O-GlcNAcylation in the modulation of important cellular processes which are essential for skeletal muscle functions. Indeed, over a thousand of O-GlcNAcylated proteins have been identified within skeletal muscle since 2004, which belong to various classes of proteins, including sarcomeric proteins. In this review, we focused on these myofibrillar proteins, including contractile and structural proteins. Because of the modification of motor and regulatory proteins, the regulatory myosin light chain (MLC2) is related to several reports that support a key role of O-GlcNAcylation in the fine modulation of calcium activation parameters of skeletal muscle fibres, depending on muscle phenotype and muscle work. In addition, another key function of O-GlcNAcylation has recently emerged in the regulation of organization and reorganization of the sarcomere. Altogether, this data support a key role of O-GlcNAcylation in the homeostasis of sarcomeric cytoskeleton, known to be disturbed in many related muscle disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The incidence of diabetes mellitus in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy is increasing. To evaluate the impact of diabetes mellitus on contractility, we examined the calcium-induced force in left and right atrial myofilaments of patients with and without diabetes. METHODS We included 149 patients (106 without diabetes, 43 with diabetes), scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting from August 2016 to June 2017. The left and right atria were excised and prepared for skinned fibre measurements (pCa-force curve). The unit for the force measurements is Millinewton (mN). Comprehensive demographic data as well as echocardiographic findings of the patients were collected. RESULTS We observed a significant decrease of left atrial force values in patients with diabetes, averaged over all calcium concentrations (patients with diabetes 0.50 ± 0.19 mN vs 0.68 ± 0.23 mN in patients without diabetes, P = 0.002) as well as in right atrial fibres (patients with diabetes 0.35 ± 0.17 mN vs 0.47 ± 0.21 mN in patients without diabetes, P = 0.005). There was a significant influence of repeated measurements (of the calcium concentrations) on force in left atrial myofilaments (P < 0.001). There was also a significant impact of diabetes on the force values of the different calcium concentrations in left atrial myofilaments (P 0.002). In right atrial myofilaments we also found a significant influence of repeated measurements (of the calcium concentrations) on force (P < 0.001). Additionally the impact of diabetes on the force values was significant (P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that diabetes mellitus has a significantly negative impact on calcium-induced force development in left and right atrial myofilaments.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) has emerged as a relevant cause of heart failure among the diabetic population. Defined as a cardiac dysfunction that develops in diabetic patients independently of other major cardiovascular risks factors, such as high blood pressure and coronary artery disease, the underlying cause of DCMremains to be unveiled. Several pathogenic factors, including glucose and lipid toxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, increased oxidative stress, sustained activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) or altered calcium homeostasis, have been shown to contribute to the structural and functional alterations that characterize diabetic hearts. However, all these pathogenic mechanisms appear to stem from the metabolic inflexibility imposed by insulin resistance or lack of insulin signaling. This results in absolute reliance on fatty acids for the synthesis of ATP and impairment of glucose oxidation. Glucose is then rerouted to other metabolic pathways, with harmful effects on cardiomyocyte function. Here, we discuss the role that impaired cardiac insulin signaling in diabetic or insulin-resistant individuals plays in the onset and progression of DCM.

Abstract
O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a dynamic post-translational modification occurring on myriad proteins in the cell nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. The donor sugar for O-GlcNAcylation, uridine-diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), is synthesized from glucose through the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP). The recycling of O-GlcNAc on proteins is mediated by two enzymes in cells-O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA), which catalyze the addition and removal of O-GlcNAc, respectively. O-GlcNAcylation is involved in a number of important cell processes including transcription, translation, metabolism, signal transduction, and apoptosis. Deregulation of O-GlcNAcylation has been reported to be associated with various human diseases such as cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. A better understanding of the roles of O-GlcNAcylation in physiopathological processes would help to uncover novel avenues for therapeutic intervention. The aim of this review is to discuss the recent updates on the mechanisms and impacts of O-GlcNAcylation on these diseases, and its potential as a new clinical target.

Abstract
As a dynamic post-translational modification, O-linked β- N-acetylglucosamine ( O-GlcNAc) modification (i.e., O-GlcNAcylation) of proteins regulates many biological processes involving cellular metabolism and signaling. However, O-GlcNAc site mapping, a prerequisite for site-specific functional characterization, has been a challenge since its discovery. Herein we present a novel method for O-GlcNAc enrichment and site mapping. In this method, the O-GlcNAc moiety on peptides was labeled with UDP-GalNAz followed by copper-free azide-alkyne cycloaddition with a multifunctional reagent bearing a terminal cyclooctyne, a disulfide bridge, and a biotin handle. The tagged peptides were then released from NeutrAvidin beads upon reductant treatment, alkylated with (3-acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium chloride, and subjected to electron-transfer dissociation mass spectrometry analysis. After validation by using standard synthetic peptide gCTD and model protein α-crystallin, such an approach was applied to the site mapping of overexpressed TGF-β-activated kinase 1/MAP3K7 binding protein 2 (TAB2), with four O-GlcNAc sites unambiguously identified. Our method provides a promising tool for the site-specific characterization of O-GlcNAcylation of important proteins.

Abstract
Significance: Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a frequent complication occurring even in well-controlled asymptomatic diabetic patients, and it may advance to heart failure (HF). Recent Advances: The diabetic heart is characterized by a state of "metabolic rigidity" involving enhanced rates of fatty acid uptake and mitochondrial oxidation as the predominant energy source, and it exhibits mitochondrial electron transport chain defects. These alterations promote redox state changes evidenced by a decreased NAD+/NADH ratio associated with an increase in acetyl-CoA/CoA ratio. NAD+ is a co-substrate for deacetylases, sirtuins, and a critical molecule in metabolism and redox signaling; whereas acetyl-CoA promotes protein lysine acetylation, affecting mitochondrial integrity and causing epigenetic changes. Critical Issues: DCM lacks specific therapies with treatment only in later disease stages using standard, palliative HF interventions. Traditional therapy targeting neurohormonal signaling and hemodynamics failed to improve mortality rates. Though mitochondrial redox state changes occur in the heart with obesity and diabetes, how the mitochondrial NAD+/NADH redox couple connects the remodeled energy metabolism with mitochondrial and cytosolic antioxidant defense and nuclear epigenetic changes remains to be determined. Mitochondrial therapies targeting the mitochondrial NAD+/NADH redox ratio may alleviate cardiac dysfunction. Future Directions: Specific therapies must be supported by an optimal understanding of changes in mitochondrial redox state and how it influences other cellular compartments; this field has begun to surface as a therapeutic target for the diabetic heart. We propose an approach based on an alternate mitochondrial electron transport that normalizes the mitochondrial redox state and improves cardiac function in diabetes.

Abstract
The investigation of post-translational modifications (PTMs) plays an important role for the study of type 2 diabetes. The importance of PTMs has been realized with the advancement of analytical techniques. The challenging detection and analysis of post-translational modifications is eased by different enrichment methods and by high throughput mass spectrometry based proteomics studies. This technology along with different quantitation methods provide accurate knowledge about the changes happening in disease conditions as well as in normal conditions. In this review, we have discussed PTMs such as phosphorylation, N-glycosylation, O-GlcNAcylation, acetylation and advanced glycation end products in type 2 diabetes which have been characterized by high throughput mass spectrometry based proteomics analysis.

Abstract
Aims: To evaluate the protective effects of exogenous pancreatic kallikrein (PKK) treatment on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods and Results: Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, a type 1 diabetic model, were treated with either PKK or saline for 12 weeks. Non-diabetic rats were used as controls. PKK administration attenuated the mitochondria swelling, Z line misalignments, myofibrosis and interstitial collagen accumulation in diabetic myocardial tissue. The oxidative stress imbalance including increased nitrotyrosine, decreased anti-oxidative components such as nuclear receptor nuclear factor like 2 (Nrf2), glutathione peroxidase 1(GPx-1), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), were recovered in the heart of PKK-treated diabetic rats. In diabetic rats, protein expression of TGF-β1 and accumulation of collagen I in the heart tissues was decreased after PKK administration. Markers for inflammation were decreased in diabetic rats by PKK treatment. Compared to diabetic rats, PKK reversed the degradation of IκB-α, an inhibitive element of heterotrimer nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) protein and myocardial nitrate/nitrite were impaired in the heart of diabetic rats, which, however, were restored after PKK treatment. The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2 (SERCA2) and phospholamban (PLN) were mishandled in diabetic rats, while were rectified in PKK-treated diabetic rats. The plasma NT-proBNP level was increased in diabetic rats while was reduced with PKK treatment. Conclusion: PKK protects against DCM via reducing fibrosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress, promoting nitric oxide production, as well as restoring the function of the calcium channel.
