ObjectiveAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common tachyarrhythmia in urgent need of therapeutic optimization. Obesity engenders AF, and its pathogenesis is closely intertwined with insulin resistance (IR), but mechanism-based management is still underinvestigated. Intermittent fasting (IF) is a novel lifestyle intervention that mitigates IR, a potential AF driver, yet whether IF can prevent obesity-related AF remains elusive. Here, we aimed to evaluate the impacts of short-term IF on AF and to uncover the underlying mechanism.MethodsWe subjected obese mice (high-fat diet for 8-week) to IF (alternative-day fasting for another 5-week) for AF vulnerability and substrate formation assessment, and similarly treated neonatal atrial cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) and fibroblasts (NRCFs) (palmitate, 200 μM) with IF (alternative-day short-term starvation for 8-day) for mechanism investigation.ResultsObese mice were prone to AF and atrial remodeling. IF reduced AF inducibility, duration, and reversed atrial remodeling including channel disturbance, left atrial dilation, cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in obese mice independent of weight loss. Mechanistically, IF up-regulated the SIRT3 protein level both in vivo and in vitro, and pharmacologic inhibition (3-(1H-1,2,3-Triazol-4-yl) pyridine, 50 μM) and genetic suppression of SIRT3 could attenuate the IF-mediated benefits against hypertrophy and fibrosis. Furthermore, IF activated AMPK and Akt signaling, two positive downstream targets of SIRT3, and inactivated HIF1α signaling, a negative downstream target of SIRT3 in both obese mice atria and palmitate-treated cells, while inhibition of SIRT3 reversed these effects.ConclusionIF prevents obesity-related AF via SIRT3-mediated IR mitigation, thus representing a feasible lifestyle intervention to improve AF management.
