Free Radical Scavenging by Myocardial Fatty Acid Binding Protein

Recent investigations have indicated the presence of a fatty acid binding protein (FABP) in mammalian heart. This protein binds free fatty acids and their esters with high affinity, however, its physiological role remains unknown. Since FABP constitutes a significant amount of cystolic protein, it is likely that it would be a target for free radical attack. To test this hypothesis, FABP was examined for scavenging against free radicals such as the superoxide anion (O^?₂,). hydroxyl radical (OH') and hypochlorite radical (OCl') which may be present in an ischemic reperfused heart. Our results suggest that FABP scavenges O^?₂, OH' and OCl' as indicated by the FABP inhibition of O^?₂-dependent reduction of cytochrome c, OH'-dependent hydroxybenzoic acid formation and OCl'-mediated chemiluminescence response. FABP was found to be a more potent scavenger of these free radicals compared to bovine serum albumin. Furthermore, FABP was more effective in scavenging OH' than O^?₂, and inhibited OH' mediated lipid peroxidation process. These results indicate that FABP can scavenge free radicals which may be present in an ischemic/reperfused heart and, thus, may play a significant physiological role in the heart during ischemia and reperfusion.

Expression of the Extracellular Fatty Acid Binding Protein (Ex-FABP) during Muscle Fiber Formationin Vivoandin Vitro

We report that Ex-FABP, an extracellular protein belonging to the lipocalin family and involved in the extracellular transport of long-chain fatty acids, is expressed in the forming myotubes bothin vivoandin vitro.The presence of the protein and of the mRNA was observed in newly formed myotubes at early stages of chick embryo development by immunohistochemistry and byin situhybridization. At later stages of development myofibers still expressed both the mRNA and the protein. Ex-FABP expression was observed also in the developing myocardium and the muscular layer of large blood vessels. In agreement with these findings, an initial expression of the mRNA and protein secretion by cultured chicken myoblasts were observed only after the onset of myoblast fusion. Double-immunofluorescence staining of these cultured cells revealed that multinucleate myotubes were stained by antibodies directed against both the Ex-FABP and the sarcomeric myosin, whereas immature myotubes and single myoblasts were not. When added to cultured myoblasts, antibodies against the Ex-FABP induced a strong enhancement of the production of the same protein. In all experiments some cell sufferance and a transient impairment of myotube formation were also observed. The finding that the continuous removal of the Ex-FABP from the culture medium of myoblasts, due to the formation of immune complexes, resulted in an overproduction of the protein suggests a feedback (autocrine) control during myotube differentiation and maturation. We propose that the requirement for increased transport and metabolism of free fatty acid released from the membrane phospholipids and storage lipids, mediated by Ex-FABP, may be essential during differentiation of multinucleated myotubes or that an increased local demand of fatty acids and metabolites may act as a local hormone in tissues differentiating and undergoing morphogenesis.
