Dual effects of hyperglycemia on endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes to enhance coronary LPL activity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the diabetic heart, there is excessive dependence on fatty acid (FA) utilization to generate ATP. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL)-mediated hydrolysis of circulating triglycerides is suggested to be the predominant source of FA for cardiac utilization during diabetes. In the heart, the majority of LPL is synthesized in cardiomyocytes and secreted onto cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG), where an endothelial cell (EC)-releasable β-endoglycosidase, heparanase cleaves the side chains of HSPG to liberate LPL for its onward movement across the EC. EC glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein-binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1) captures this released enzyme at its basolateral side and shuttles it across to its luminal side. We tested whether the diabetes-induced increase of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) can influence the myocyte and EC to help transfer LPL to the vascular lumen to generate triglyceride-FA. In response to high glucose and EC heparanase secretion, this endoglycosidase is taken up by the cardiomyocyte (Wang Y, Chiu AP, Neumaier K, Wang F, Zhang D, Hussein B, Lal N, Wan A, Liu G, Vlodavsky I, Rodrigues B. Diabetes 63: 2643-2655, 2014) to stimulate matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression and the conversion of latent to active TGF-β. In the cardiomyocyte, TGF-β activation of RhoA enhances actin cytoskeleton rearrangement to promote LPL trafficking and secretion onto cell surface HSPG. In the EC, TGF-β signaling promotes mesodermal homeobox 2 translocation to the nucleus, which increases the expression of GPIHBP1, which facilitates movement of LPL to the vascular lumen. Collectively, our data suggest that in the diabetic heart, TGF-β actions on the cardiomyocyte promotes movement of LPL, whereas its action on the EC facilitates LPL shuttling. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Endothelial cells, as first responders to hyperglycemia, release heparanase, whose subsequent uptake by cardiomyocytes amplifies matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression and activation of transforming growth factor-β. Transforming growth factor-β increases lipoprotein lipase secretion from cardiomyocytes and promotes mesodermal homeobox 2 to enhance glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein-binding protein 1-dependent transfer of lipoprotein lipase across endothelial cells, mechanisms that accelerate fatty acid utilization by the diabetic heart.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
