PG - 1292-1299 LID - S0925-4439(17)30117-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbadis.2017.04.005 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial Trifunctional Protein deficiency (TFPD) is a severe genetic disease characterized by altered energy metabolism and accumulation of long-chain (LC) acylcarnitines in blood and tissues. This accumulation could impair the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos), contributing to the non-optimal outcome despite conventional diet therapy with medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). METHOD: Acylcarnitine and OxPhos parameters were measured in TFPD-fibroblasts obtained from 8 children and cultured in medium mimicking fasting (LCFA) or conventional treatment (MCT), with or without Etomoxir (ETX) an inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) activity, and were compared to results obtained with fibroblasts from 5 healthy-control children. The effects of various acylcarnitines were also tested on control fibroblasts. RESULTS: In the LCFA-condition, TFPD-fibroblasts demonstrated a large accumulation of LC-acylcarnitines associated with decreased O(2)-consumption (63+/-3% of control, P<0.001) and ATP production (67+/-5%, P<0.001) without modification of coupling efficiency. A dose-dependent decrease in O(2)-consumption was reproduced in control fibroblasts by addition of increasing dose of LC-acylcarnitines, while it was almost preserved with MC-acylcarnitines. The MCT-condition reduced LC-acylcarnitine accumulation and partially improved O(2)-consumption (80+/-3%, P<0.01) in TFPD-fibroblasts. The addition of ETX in both LCFA- and MCT-conditions normalized acylcarnitine profiles and restored O(2)-consumption and ATP production at the same levels than control. CONCLUSION: Accumulation of LC-acylcarnitines plays a major role in the pathophysiology of TFPD, reducing OxPhos capacities. These deleterious effects could be partially prevented by MCT-therapy and totally corrected by ETX. Inhibition of CPT1 may be view as a new therapeutic target for patients with a severe form of TFPD.
