Disorders of mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation and the carnitine shuttle

Abstract: Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation is an essential pathway for energy production, especially during prolonged fasting and sub-maximal exercise. Long-chain fatty acids are the most abundant fatty acids in the human diet and in body stores, and more than 15 enzymes are involved in long-chain fatty acid oxidation. Pathogenic mutations in genes encoding these enzymes result in a long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorder in which the energy homeostasis is compromised and long-chain acylcarnitines accumulate.

“…We tested this hypothesis by quantifying acylcarnitines in plasma and liver, which are elevated when oxidation of fatty acids or amino acids is impaired. For instance, elevation of C2-C5 carnitines suggests defects in oxidation of short chain fatty acids or amino acids, whereas increases in C6-C18 carnitines is clinically diagnostic of defects in oxidation of medium-and long-chain fatty acids (Knottnerus et al, 2018). Congruent with the RNA-seq data, liquid chromatographymass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of acylcarnitines in plasma and liver revealed a general impairment in oxidation of mediumand long-chain fatty acids.…”

“…Transfer of fatty acids across the inner membrane into the matrix is then mediated by Cpt2 through a process that is coupled to the removal of carnitine. 91 Within the matrix, fatty acids can be used to fuel FAO. This work therefore linked increased mitochondrial activity and FAO specifically in the IL-4 driven activation process.…”

“…Oxidative stress is a hallmark of HF, and mitochondria are the main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cardiac myocytes [21,22]. In the failing heart, the emission of ROS from mitochondria is the result of their increased production, which is mainly secondary to the leakage of electrons from complex I of the respiratory chain to oxygen [23,24], and their impaired elimination by mitochondrial antioxidant system [20,25].…”
