Background- The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang 1-7)/MasR (Mas receptor) axis are emerging as a key pathway that can modulate the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. We studied the effects of Ang 1-7 on diabetic cardiomyopathy in db/db diabetic mice to elucidate the therapeutic effects and mechanism of action. Methods and Results- Ang 1-7 was administered to 5-month-old male db/db mice for 28 days via implanted micro-osmotic pumps. Ang 1-7 treatment ameliorated myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis with normalization of diastolic dysfunction assessed by pressure-volume loop analysis and echocardiography. The functional improvement by Ang 1-7 was accompanied by a reduction in myocardial lipid accumulation and systemic fat mass and inflammation and increased insulin-stimulated myocardial glucose oxidation. Increased myocardial protein kinase C levels and loss of phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 were prevented by Ang 1-7. Furthermore, Ang 1-7 treatment decreased cardiac triacylglycerol and ceramide levels in db/db mice, concomitantly with an increase in myocardial adipose triglyceride lipase expression. Changes in adipose triglyceride lipase expression correlated with increased SIRT1 (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1) levels and deacetylation of FOXO1 (forkhead box O1). Conclusions- We identified a novel beneficial effect of Ang 1-7 on diabetic cardiomyopathy that involved a reduction in cardiac hypertrophy and lipotoxicity, adipose inflammation, and an upregulation of adipose triglyceride lipase. Ang 1-7 completely rescued the diastolic dysfunction in the db/db model. Ang 1-7 represents a promising therapy for diabetic cardiomyopathy associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
