Summary |
Propiogenic substrate catabolism and gut bacteria produce propionate, a post-translational protein modifier. Here, using a mouse model of propionic acidaemia (PA), we characterise how disturbances to propionate metabolism modify histones and affect cardiac gene expression and function. Plasma propionate was raised in PA mice, but male hearts accumulated a smaller propionyl-CoA excess, correlating with -alanine build-up. Raising -alanine experimentally in myocytes cultured under propionate-stress reduced propionyl-CoA and partially reversed the propionate-evoked metabolic disturbance. Female PA hearts manifested a moderate diastolic dysfunction phenotype, with raised diastolic [Ca2+], expanded end-systolic ventricular volume, and reduced stroke volume. Differentially-expressed genes included Pde9a and Mme that relate to contractile dysfunction through down-scaled cGMP signalling, consistent with phosphoproteome changes. Propionate was traced to histone H3 propionylation and increased acetylation genome-wide, including at Pde9a and Mme promoters, with more pronounced effects in female PA hearts. We link perturbed propionate metabolism to epigenetic changes that impact cardiac function.
