Diabetes is a risk factor of heart failure and promotes cardiac dysfunction. Diabetic tissues are associated with NAD+ redox imbalance; however, the hypothesis that NAD+ redox imbalance causes diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) has not been tested. This investigation employed mouse models with altered NAD+ redox balance to test this hypothesis. Diabetic stress was induced in mice by streptozotocin. Cardiac function was measured by echocardiography. Heart and plasma samples were collected for biochemical, histological and molecular analyses. Two mouse models with altered NAD+ redox states (cardiac-specific knockout mice of Ndufs4, cKO; nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase transgenic mice, NAMPT) were used. Diabetic stress caused cardiac dysfunction and lowered NAD+/NADH in wild-type mice. Mice with lowered cardiac NAD+/NADH without baseline dysfunction, cKO mice, were challenged with chronic diabetic stress. NAD+ redox imbalance in cKO hearts exacerbated systolic (FS: 27.6% vs 36.9% at 4-week, male cohort, P<0.05) and diastolic dysfunction (E’/A’: 0.99 vs 1.20, P<0.05) of diabetic mice in both sexes. Collagen levels and transcripts of fibrosis and extracellular matrix-dependent pathways did not show changes in diabetic cKO hearts, suggesting that the exacerbated cardiac dysfunction was due to cardiomyocyte dysfunction. NAD+ redox imbalance promoted superoxide dismutase 2 acetylation, protein oxidation, troponin-I S150 phosphorylation and impaired energetics in diabetic cKO hearts. Importantly, elevation of cardiac NAD+ levels by NAMPT normalized NAD+ redox balance, alleviated cardiac dysfunction (FS: 40.2% vs 24.8% in cKO:NAMPT vs cKO, P<0.05; E’/A’: 1.32 vs 1.04, P<0.05) and reversed pathogenic mechanisms in diabetic mice. Our results show that NAD+ redox imbalance to regulate acetylation and phosphorylation is a critical mediator of the progression of DCM, and suggest the therapeutic potential for DCM by harnessing NAD+ metabolism.
