Key Words: diabetes mellitus • heart failure • cardiovascular diseases


*    Introduction
 
The prevailing concept of the heart’s response to changes in its environment is a complex network of inter-connecting signal transduction cascades.1 In such a scheme, the focus is on communication of various cell surface receptors, heterotrimeric G-proteins, protein kinases, and transcription factors.2–4

Diabetes is a disorder of metabolic dysregulation. At first glance it appears that metabolism and the metabolic consequences of diabetes do not fit into this signal-response coupling scheme. Two questions arise. First, is metabolism simply an "effect" rather than a "cause" of adaptation? Second, is metabolism only a by-product of signal transduction-induced adaptation, allowing equilibrium (and therefore maintenance of function) in the presence of the other adaptational responses?

An alternative is to take a new, less restricted view of metabolism. Beyond its stereotypical function as a provider of ATP, alterations in metabolic flux within the cell create essential signals for the adaptation of the heart to situations such as diabetes. This concept is novel for the heart, but has already been considered in the liver. Like the phosphorylation events occurring in signal transduction cascades, changes in metabolic flux are extremely rapid. For example, translocation of GLUT4 to the cell surface in response to insulin occurs within a second.5 We have previously found that increases or decreases in workload also change metabolic fluxes in seconds.6,7 Therefore, changes in metabolites are rapid enough to allow them to act as signaling molecules.

Many of these acute changes in metabolic flux are brought about by the same signal transduction cascades believed to . . . [Full Text of this Article]
