Iron overload is associated with various pathological changes which contribute to heart failure. Here, we examined mechanisms via which iron alters cardiomyocyte insulin sensitivity. Treatment of primary adult and neonatal cardiomyocytes as well as H9c2 cells with iron decreased insulin sensitivity determined via Western blotting or immunofluorescent detection of Akt and p70S6K phosphorylation and glucose uptake. Using CellROX deep red or DCF-DA probes we also observed that iron increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and that pretreatment with the superoxide dismutase mimetic MnTBAP reduced ROS production and attenuated iron-induced insulin resistance. SKQ1 and allopurinol but not apocynin reduced iron-induced ROS suggesting mitochondria and xanthine oxidase contribute to cellular ROS in response to iron. Western blotting for LC3-I, LC3-II and P62 levels as well as immunofluorescent co-detection of autophagosomes with Cyto-ID and lysosomal cathepsin activity indicated that iron attenuated autophagic flux without altering total expression of Atg7 or beclin-1 and phosphorylation of mTORC1 and ULK1. This conclusion was reinforced via protein accumulation detected using Click-iT HPG labelling after iron treatment. The adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon increased autophagic flux and improved insulin sensitivity both alone and in the presence of iron. We created an autophagy-deficient cell model by overexpressing a dominant-negative Atg5 mutant in H9c2 cells and this confirmed that reduced autophagy flux correlated with less insulin sensitivity. In conclusion, our study showed that iron promoted a cascade of ROS production, reduced autophagy and insulin resistance in cardiomyocytes.
