p-value: p=<0.05
In a diabetic mouse model, ischemia-reperfusion injury induces metabolic reprogramming characterized by reduced glucose utilization and over-activation of the PPARA signaling pathway, which may explain increased myocardial vulnerability.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore metabolic reprogramming in diabetic myocardium subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/RI) and potential mechanisms. BACKGROUND: Increased vulnerability after I/RI in diabetic myocardium is a major cause of the high prevalence of perioperative adverse cardiac events, and the specific alterations in energy metabolism after I/RI in diabetic myocardium and the impact on increased vulnerability are not fully understood. METHODS: Metabolomic methods were used to explore the differences and characteristics of metabolites in the heart tissues of four groups, and then, single-cell RNA sequencing (ScRNA-seq) was used to explore the potential mechanism of metabolic reprogramming. RESULTS: It was found that the fatty acid metabolism of db/db mouse I/RI (DMI) showed a significant upward trend, especially the metabolites of ultra-long and medium-long-chain fatty acids; the metabolic flow analysis found that the U-13C glucose M + 6 was significantly higher in the C57BL mouse sham operation (NM) group than in the db/db mouse sham operation (DM) group, and in the C57BL mouse I/RI (NMI) than in the DMI group. Compared with the NMI group, the intermediate metabolites of glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle were significantly reduced in the DMI group; all comparisons were statistically significant (p < 0.05), indicating that the glucose uptake of diabetic myocardetis, the ability of glucose glycolysis after I/RI, and the contribution of glucose to TCA were significantly reduced. The results of ScRNA-seq revealed that the number of Cluster 0 myocardial isoforms was significantly increased in diabetic myocardium, and the differential genes were mainly enriched in fatty acid metabolism, and the PPARA signaling pathway was found to be over-activated and involved in the regulation of metabolic reprogramming of diabetic myocardial I/RI. CONCLUSION: Metabolic reprogramming of diabetic myocardial I/RI may be the main cause of increased myocardial vulnerability. The number of myocardial subtype Cluster 0 increased significantly, and PPARA PPARA is a ligand-activated receptor of the nuclear hormone receptor family that plays a central regulatory role in lipid metabolism. signaling pathway activation may be a potential mechanism for reprogramming metabolism in diabetic myocardium.

Ma et al. (2024) studied Diabetic myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Ischemia-reperfusion injury in diabetic (db/db) mice vs. Sham operation and non-diabetic (C57BL) mice was evaluated on Metabolite differences (fatty acid metabolism, glycolysis, TCA cycle) (p=<0.05). Diabetic myocardium subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury exhibited significantly increased fatty acid metabolism and reduced glycolysis and TCA cycle intermediates compared to controls (p<0.05).
