Abstract
Background
We recently reported that upregulated AMP deaminase (AMPD), via reduction in the tissue adenine nucleotide pool, contributes to exacerbation of diastolic dysfunction under pressure overload in OLETF, a rat model of obese type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Upregulated AMPD also possibly promotes xanthine oxidase (XO)-mediated ROS production, since AMPD deaminases AMP to IMP, which is further converted to inosine, providing substrates of XO, hypoxanthine and xanthine. Here, we examined the hypothesis that inhibition of XO ameliorates the pressure overload-induced diastolic dysfunction by suppression of ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and/or vascular dysfunction in T2DM rats.
Methods and results
Metabolomic analyses revealed that levels of xanthine and uric acid in the LV myocardium were significantly higher by 37% and 51%, respectively, in OLETF than in LETO, non-diabetic control rats, under the condition of phenylephrine-induced pressure overloading (200–230 mmHg). Myocardial XO activity in OLETF was 57.9% higher than that in LETO, which may be attributed to 31% higher level of inosine, a positive regulator of XO, in OLETF than in LETO. The activity of XO was significantly attenuated by administration of topiroxostat, an XO inhibitor at 0.5 mg/kg/day for 14 days. Pressure volume loop analyses showed that the pressure overloading resulted in significantly higher LVEDP in OLETF than in LETO (18.3±1.5 vs. 12.2±1.3 mmHg, p<0.05, n=7), though LVEDPs at baseline were comparable in OLETF and LETO (5.6±0.4 vs. 4.7±0.7 mmHg). Treatment with topiroxostat significantly suppressed the pressure overload-induced elevation of LVEDP in OLETF (18.3±1.5 vs. 11.3±1.1 mmHg, p<0.05) but not in LETO. Under the condition of pressure overloading, Ea/Ees, an index for ventricular-arterial coupling, was higher in OLETF than in LETO (2.3±0.3 vs. 1.6±0.3, p<0.05), and it was also improved by topiroxostat in OLETF (1.2±0.2, p<0.05). Myocardial ATP content was lower in OLETF than in LETO (2966±400 vs. 1818±171 nmol/g wet tissue, p<0.05), and treatment with topiroxostat significantly restored the ATP level (2629±307 nmol/g wet tissue). The LV myocardium of OLETF under pressure overload showed significantly higher level of malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal, an indicator of lipid peroxidation, than that of LETO. Measurement of oxygen consumption rate by Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer in mitochondria isolated from LV tissues revealed that state 3 respiration was significantly suppressed in OLETF by 43% compared to LETO, and it was restored by treatment with topiroxostat.
Conclusion
Both activity and substrates of XO are increased in T2DM hearts, in which upregulation of AMPD may play a role. Inhibition of XO ameliorates pressure overload-induced diastolic dysfunction and improves ventricular-arterial coupling in diabetic hearts, most likely through protection of mitochondrial function from ROS-mediated injury.

Background
We have recently demonstrated that AMP deaminase (AMPD) is upregulated in OLETF, obese type 2 diabetic (T2DM) rats, and that the upregulated AMPD contributes to depletion of myocardial ATP at the time of pressure overload, leading to diastolic dysfunction. On the other hand, AMPD promotes the formation of IMP from AMP, and IMP is in turn further converted to hypoxanthine and xanthine, substrates of xanthine oxidase (XO), which produces uric acid with ROS as a byproduct. Based on these findings, we tested the hypothesis that inhibition of XO ameliorates the pressure overload-induced diastolic dysfunction in T2DM rats.
Methods and results
Metabolomic analyses of the left ventricular myocardium revealed that levels of myocardial hypoxanthine and xanthine were significantly higher by 30% and 28%, respectively, in OLETF than in LETO, non-diabetic control rats, under the condition of pressure overloading (200-230 mmHg) induced by phenylephrine infusion. Myocardial XO activity in OLETF was 57.9% higher than that in LETO, and the activity was significantly attenuated by oral administration of topiroxostat, an XO inhibitor, at 0.1-0.5 mg/kg/day for 14 days in a dose-dependent manner. Pressure volume loop analyses showed that the pressure overloading induced by phenylephrine infusion resulted in significantly higher LVEDP in OLETF than in LETO (18.3 ± 1.5 vs. 12.2 ± 1.3 mmHg, p < 0.05, n = 7), though LVEDPs at baseline were comparable in OLETF and LETO (5.6 ± 0.4 vs. 4.7 ± 0.7 mmHg). Treatment with topiroxostat significantly suppressed the pressure overload-induced elevation of LVEDP in OLETF (18.3 ± 1.5 vs. 11.3 ± 1.1 mmHg, p < 0.05) but not in LETO. Tau, the time constant of LV pressure decay, was significantly prolonged to 14.7 ± 0.7 ms (p < 0.05) by pressure overloading in OLETF but not in LETO, though baseline Tau values were similar in LETO and OLETF (6.1 ± 0.2 vs. 8.0 ± 0.4 ms). The prolongation of Tau by pressure overloading in OLETF was significantly attenuated by treatment with topiroxostat. Ea/Ees, an index for ventricular-arterial coupling, was higher in OLETF than in LETO (2.3 ± 0.3 vs. 1.6 ± 0.3, p < 0.05) under the condition of pressure overloading, and it was also improved by topiroxostat in OLETF (1.2 ± 0.2, p < 0.05). Myocardial ATP content was lower in OLETF than in LETO under the condition of pressure overloading (2966 ± 400 vs. 1818 ± 171 nmol/g wet tissue, p < 0.05), but treatment with topiroxostat significantly restored the ATP level (2629 ± 307 nmo/g wet tissue). Conclusion: In T2DM hearts, not only XO activity but also XO substrates are upregulated and upregulated AMPD may be involved in the upregulation. Inhibition of XO ameliorates pressure overload-induced diastolic dysfunction and improves ventricular-arterial coupling most likely through augmented ATP preservation.
