Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: -Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzyme deficiency in the world. In failing hearts, G6PD is upregulated and generates NADPH that is used by the glutathione pathway to remove reactive oxygen species (ROS), but also as a substrate by ROS-generating enzymes. Therefore, G6PD deficiency might prevent heart failure by decreasing NADPH and ROS production. METHODS AND RESULTS: -This hypothesis was evaluated in a mouse model of human G6PD deficiency (G6PDX mice, ~40% normal activity). Myocardial infarction with 3 months follow-up resulted in LV dilation and dysfunction in both WT and G6PDX mice, but significantly greater end diastolic volume and wall thinning in G6PDX mice. Similarly, pressure overload induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) for 6 weeks caused greater LV dilation in G6PDX mice than WT. We further stressed TAC mice by feeding a high fructose diet to increase flux through G6PD and ROS production, and again observed worse LV remodeling and a lower ejection fraction in G6PDX than WT mice. Tissue content of lipid peroxidation products was increased in G6PDX mice in response to infarction and aconitase activity was decreased with TAC, suggesting that G6PD deficiency increases myocardial oxidative stress and subsequent damage. CONCLUSIONS: -Contrary to our hypothesis, G6PD deficiency increased redox stress in response to infarction or pressure overload. However, we found only a modest acceleration of LV remodeling, suggesting that, in individuals with G6PD deficiency and concurrent hypertension or myocardial infarction, the risk for developing heart failure is higher, but limited by compensatory mechanisms.
