An unbiased systems approach was utilized to investigate hibernation-induced changes that are char- acteristic of the hibernator cardioprotective phenotype, by comparing the myocardial proteome of winter hibernating arctic ground squirrels (AGS), summer active AGS, and rats subjected to I/R, and further correlating with targeted metabolic changes. Methods: In a well-defined rodent model of I/R by deep hypothermic circulatory arrest followed by 3 or 24 h of reperfusion or sham, myocardial protein abundance in AGS (hibernating summer active) and rats (n = 4 to 5/group) was quantified by label-free proteomics (n = 4 to 5/group) and correlated with metabolic changes. Results: Compared to rats, hibernating AGS displayed markedly reduced plasma levels of troponin I, myocardial apoptosis, and left ventricular contractile dysfunction. Of the 1,320 rat and 1,478 AGS proteins identified, 545 were differentially expressed between hibernating AGS and rat hearts (47% up-regulated and 53% down-regulated). Gene ontology analysis revealed down-regulation in hibernating AGS hearts of most proteins involved in mitochondrial energy transduction, includ- ing electron transport chain complexes, acetyl CoA biosynthesis, Krebs cycle, glycolysis, and ketogenesis. Conversely, fatty acid oxidation enzymes and sirtuin-3 were up-regulated in hibernating AGS, with preserved peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-α activity and reduced tissue levels of acylcarnitines and ceramides after I/R. Conclusions: Natural cardioprotective adaptations in hibernators involve extensive metabolic remodeling, featuring increased expression of fatty acid metabolic proteins and reduced levels of toxic lipid metabolites. Robust up-regula- tion of sirtuin-3 suggests that posttranslational modifications may underlie organ protection in hibernating mammals.

PERIOPERATIVE MEDICINE natural resistance to experimental I/R in multiple organs,4–7 which remains yet uncharacterized for the heart. Moreover, although a suite of adaptations associated with the seasonal entry into torpor have been reported, including metabolic rate depression,8 increased reliance on lipid oxidation for energy production,3,9–11 and immune suppression,12 the mechanisms underlying this naturally evolved organ protec- tion remain unknown.

As a first step to delineate the metabolic regulatory events involved, we employed an unbi- ased proteomics approach to identify and quantify differ- ences in myocardial protein abundance between AGS and rats and further correlate with targeted metabolic changes.
