Liraglutide, a glucose-lowering agent used to treat type 2 diabetic mellitus is reported to exert cardioprotective effects in clinical trials and animal experiments. However, the cardioprotective mechanism of liraglutide on diabetic cardiomyopathy has not been fully illustrated. The present study was performed to investigate whether liraglutide alleviates diabetic myocardium injury by promoting autophagy and its underlying mechanisms. Our results show that liraglutide significantly reduced the levels of creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), improved left ventricular functional status and alleviated myocardial fibrosis in the Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat model. Liraglutide also mitigated high glucose-induced injury in NRCs. However these effects were partly reversed by the autophagic inhibitor chloroquine (CQ). Liraglutide promoted myocardial autophagy in the vivo and in the vitro models. Furthermore, liraglutide-induced enhancement of autophagy was related to increased AMPK phosphorylation and decreased mTOR phosphorylation, which was partially abolished by the AMPK inhibitor compound C (Comp C). Collectively, our data provide evidence that liraglutide mediated diabetic myocardium injury by promoting AMPK-dependent autophagy.
