Abstract

ABSTRACTAlkb homolog 7 (ALKBH7) is a mitochondrial α-ketoglutarate dioxygenase required for necrotic cell death in response to DNA alkylating agents, but its physiologic role within tissues remains unclear. Herein, we show that ALKBH7 plays a key role in the regulation of dialdehyde metabolism, which impacts cardiac survival in response to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Using a multi-omics approach, we do not find evidence that ALKBH7 functions as a prolyl-hydroxylase. However, we do find that mice lacking ALKBH7 exhibit a significant increase in glyoxalase I (GLO-1), a dialdehyde detoxifying enzyme. Consistent with increased dialdehyde production, metabolomics analysis reveals rewiring of metabolic pathways related to the toxic glycolytic by-product methylglyoxal (MGO), as well as accelerated glycolysis and elevated levels of MGO protein adducts, in mice lacking ALKBH7. Consistent with roles for both necrosis and glycative stress in cardiac IR injury, hearts from male but not femaleAlkbh7-/-mice are protected against IR, although somewhat unexpectedly this protection does not appear to involve modulation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Highlighting the importance of MGO metabolism for the observed protection, removal of glucose as a metabolic substrate or pharmacologic inhibition of GLO-1 both abrogate cardioprotection in ALKBH7 deficient mice. Integrating these observations, we propose that ALKBH7 plays a role in the regulation of glyoxal metabolism, and that protection against necrosis and IR injury bought on by ALKBH7 deficiency originates from hormetic signaling in response to elevated MGO stress.
