Insulin resistance and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are associated with lipotoxicity in heritable forms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), commonly due to mutations in bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2). How BMPR2 dysfunction in cardiomyocytes alters glucose metabolism and the response of these cells to insulin are unknown. We hypothesized that BMPR2 mutation in cardiomyocytes alters glucose-supported mitochondrial respiration and impairs cellular responses to insulin, including glucose and lipid uptake. We performed metabolic assays, immunofluorescence and Western analysis, RNA profiling, and radioactive isotope uptake studies in H9c2 cardiomyocyte cell lines with and without patient-derived BMPR2 mutations (mutant cells), with and without insulin. Unlike control cells, BMPR2 mutant cardiomyocytes have reduced metabolic plasticity as indicated by reduced mitochondrial respiration with increased mitochondrial superoxide production. These mutant cells show enhanced baseline phosphorylation of insulin-signaling protein as indicated by increased Akt, AMPK, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase phosphorylation that may negatively influence fatty acid oxidation and enhance lipid uptake, and are insulin insensitive. Furthermore, mutant cells demonstrate an increase in milk fat globule-EGF factor-8 protein (MFGE8), which influences the insulin-signaling pathway by phosphorylating Akt(Ser473) via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin. In conclusion, BMPR2 mutant cardiomyocytes have reduced metabolic plasticity and fail to respond to glucose. These cells have enhanced baseline insulin-signaling pattern favoring insulin resistance with failure to augment this pattern in response to insulin. BMPR2 mutation possibly blunts glucose uptake and enhances lipid uptake in these cardiomyocytes. The MFGE8-driven signaling pathway may suggest a new mechanism underlying RV lipotoxicity in PAH.
