Cardiac dysfunction with sepsis is associated with both inflammation and reduced fatty acid oxidation (FAO). We hypothesized that energy deprivation accounts for sepsis-related cardiac dysfunction. E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administered to C57BL/6 mice (WT) induced cardiac dysfunction and reduced FAO and mRNA levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) α and its downstream targets within 6-8h. Transgenic mice in which cardiomyocyte-specific expression of PPARγ is driven by the alpha myosin heavy chain promoter (αMHC-PPARγ) were protected from LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction. Despite a reduction in PPARα, FAO and associated genes were not decreased in hearts of LPS-treated αMHC-PPARγ mice. LPS treatment, however, continued to induce inflammation-related genes, such as interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor α in hearts of αMHC-PPARγ mice. Treatment of WT mice with LPS and the PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone, but not the PPARα agonist (WY-14643), increased FAO, prevented LPS-mediated reduction of mitochondria and treated cardiac dysfunction, as well as it improved survival despite continued increases in the expression of cardiac inflammatory markers. Activation of PPARγ in LPS-treated mice prevented cardiac dysfunction and mortality despite development of cardiac inflammation and PPARα downregulation.
