Abstract
Plasmalemmal ATP sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are recognized metabolic sensors, yet their cellular reach is less well understood. Here, transgenic Kir6.2 null hearts devoid of the KATP channel pore underwent multiomics surveillance and systems interrogation versus wildtype counterparts. Despite maintained organ performance, the knockout proteome deviated beyond a discrete loss of constitutive KATP channel subunits. Multidimensional nano-flow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry resolved 111 differentially expressed proteins and their expanded network neighborhood, dominated by metabolic process engagement. Independent multimodal chemometric gas and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry unveiled differential expression of over one quarter of measured metabolites discriminating the Kir6.2 deficient heart metabolome. Supervised class analogy ranking and unsupervised enrichment analysis prioritized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), affirmed by extensive overrepresentation of NAD+ associated circuitry. The remodeled metabolome and proteome revealed functional convergence and an integrated signature of disease susceptibility. Deciphered cardiac patterns were traceable in the corresponding plasma metabolome, with tissue concordant plasma changes offering surrogate metabolite markers of myocardial latent vulnerability. Thus, Kir6.2 deficit precipitates multiome reorganization, mapping a comprehensive atlas of the KATP channel dependent landscape.

Introduction
ATP sensitive potassium (KATP) channels operate as high fidelity rheostats in response to metabolic stress1,2,3,4,5. Abundant in the cardiomyocyte sarcolemma, where originally discovered6, KATP channels adjust membrane electrical activity to match cellular energetic demand7,8. Channel opening under diverse stressor challenges is a recognized cardioprotective event, with channel deficiency associated with poor outcome9,10,11,12,13,14,15. The KATP channel dependent molecular landscape, however, remains only partially understood.
Myocardial KATP channels assemble into a heteromeric complex of the KCNJ11 encoded Kir6.2 potassium conductive pore and the regulatory ATP binding cassette sulfonylurea receptor 2A (SUR2A) partner16,17,18. Channel metabolic sensing relies on intrinsic ATP mediated gating of Kir6.2, governed by ATP/ADP dependent conformations of tandem SUR2A nucleotide binding domains19,20,21. Under physiological workload, hearts lacking KATP channels exhibit a switch in metabolic substrate and an augmented oxygen consumption, indicating excessive energy cost compared to hearts containing intact channels22,23. Channel linkage to the cellular bioenergetic machinery involves communication with energy shuttles facilitated by near equilibrium enzymatic transfer24,25. Messaging with NAD+/NADH interconverting enzymes (lactate dehydrogenase), phosphotransferring enzymes (creatine kinase and adenylate kinase), and glycolytic enzymes (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, triose-phosphate isomerase, and pyruvate kinase) have been implicated in KATP channel contribution to cellular metabolism26,27,28,29,30,31. Comprehensive molecular profiling would enable decoding the full extent of the cardiac KATP channel interactome.
In this regard, systems biology approaches provide unbiased means of resolving the complex cellular milieu32,33. Downstream from genetic and epigenetic inputs, proteomic surveillance captures infrastructure constituents while metabolomic assessment provides a readout of functional activity34,35,36. These complementary approaches facilitate expression analysis and function prioritization based on objective dataset interrogation37, and when used in conjunction provide greater insight into complex biological processes than can be achieved from either approach alone. Multiomics data offer extraction of distilled biological signatures, identification of cross-strata common denominators, and merged interpretation. Integrated consideration mitigates misinterpretation due to potential single perspective idiosyncrasy and can alleviate the risk of overlooking pertinent information. These attributes help address the molecular intricacy of the cardiovascular system38.
The present study drafts an integrated map of the cardiac plasmalemmal KATP channel dependent multiome, leveraging a systems strategy applied to a transgenic model lacking the channel pore. Parallel application of proteomics and metabolomics deciphered differential molecular expression segregating Kir6.2 knockout from wildtype hearts. Molecular reorganization induced by KATP channel loss prioritized a metabo-centric adaptation, handicapped by risk of compromised cardiac resilience. Corroborated in the corresponding plasma metabolome, the resolved multilevel cartography provides an expanded omics guide of KATP channel reliant cardiac homeostasis.
Results
Kir6.2 knockout deviates beyond KATP channels
Kcnj11 ablation produced viable offspring that reached adulthood with no apparent adverse cardiac phenotype at the organ level (Fig. 1A). Adult (3–4 months) Kir6.2 KATP channel knockout hearts (KO; n = 7) did not differ from age, sex, and environment matched wildtype (WT; n = 7) counterparts on echocardiography and catheterization. Left ventricular end-diastolic/end-systolic dimensions, pressures, volumes, and ejection fraction were all comparable in WT and KO (Fig. 1A). Concordant with KATP channel ablation, under whole-cell patch clamp, metabolic stress-induced outward current was evident in WT but not in KO cardiomyocytes (Fig. 1B). Mean current density provoked by the oxidative phosphorylation uncoupler 2-[2-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl] hydrazinylidene]-propanedinitrile was 14.4 ± 1.5 pA/pF in WT (n = 7) versus 0.09 ± 0.08 pA/pF in KO (n = 6) cardiomyocytes (P = 0.0002). At the molecular level, high mass accuracy nano-flow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) of ventricular tissue homogenates (WT, n = 10; KO, n = 10) identified 56,086 peptides assigned to 4846 proteins of which 4205 were quantifiable (Supplementary Table 1). Resolved by label-free relative quantitation (median coefficient of variance: WT = 2.3%, KO = 2.4%), Kir6.2 protein was found abundant in WT but absent in KO (Fig. 1C). In addition to the discrete loss of channel pore expression, extensive KO proteome deviation away from WT was prominent (Fig. 1C). Kir6.2 deletion, while apparently phenotypically silent, causes molecular departure beyond the KATP channel proper.
Kir6.2 ablation restructures myocardial proteome
Cardiac proteome remodeling imposed by Kir6.2 deletion segregated KO (n = 10) from WT (n = 10) hearts, as visualized by 3-D principal component analysis (PCA, Fig. 2A). Contrasting WT, cardiac plasmalemmal KATP channel subunits were absent (Kir6.2) or significantly reduced (SUR2A, false discovery rate [FDR] P = 0.016) in KO (Fig. 2B). The distinct mitochondrial KATP channel subunits, Mitok (Ccdc51) and Mitosur (Abcb8), remained equivalent in WT and KO (see Supplementary Table 1). Of the 4205 quantifiable proteins, 111 were differentially expressed in KO versus WT (limma FDR corrected P < 0.05; Fig. 2C). The 68 upregulated and 43 downregulated proteins demarcated a distinct KO molecular substrate delineated by PCA loading plot (Fig. 2C). The resulting agglomerative heatmap distinguished the cohorts based on the differential proteome (Fig. 2D). The Kir6.2 dependent proteome changes spanned 11 primary biological process categories (Fig. 3A). Metabolic or catabolic processes harbored the greatest change, accounting for over 25% of all proteins (28 of 111, with 16 upregulated, 12 downregulated), followed by: signaling, transport, and motility (23%, 12 up, 14 down); immunity or inflammation (13%, 14 up); morphology or structure (9%, 9 up, 1 down); stress or stimulus response (7%, 3 up, 5 down); protein post-translational modification (PTM) or processing (5%, 4 up, 2 down); transcription, epigenetics, or DNA related processes (5%, 3 up, 3 down); differentiation or development (5%, 1 up, 4 down); biosynthesis (4%, 2 up, 2 down); cell cycle (1%, 1 up); apoptosis or cell death (1%, 1 up); with 2 upregulated proteins uncharacterized (Fig. 3A). The spectrum of associated biological processes was validated at the network level, upon integration of the differential proteome within an expanded 239 node neighborhood composed of molecules with known interactions (Supplementary Figure, left). Gene ontology analysis of the network specified 223 associated biological processes enriched at P < 0.001 (Supplementary Figure, right, and Supplementary Table 2). Grouping of these processes further highlighted the prioritization of ‘Metabolism, Catabolism’, which harbored the largest proportion of enriched processes (> 27%) and exhibited the greatest extent of significance (−log harmonic mean P-value = 20.97) compared to other enriched clusters (Fig. 3B). Thus, metabolism-centric processes dominated the proteome makeover engendered by Kir6.2 ablation.
Reorganized cardiac metabolome distinguishes Kir6.2 absence
From the WT (n = 10) and KO (n = 10) hearts, distinct metabotypes were independently resolved by high throughput chemometric surveillance using multimodal untargeted mass spectrometry, with prominent cohort segregation evident by 3-D PCA (Fig. 4A). Over one quarter of the measured cardiac metabolome (Supplementary Table 3) was significantly altered by Kir6.2 deletion (59/219 metabolites, P < 0.05), with 73% of changing metabolites upregulated and 27% downregulated (Fig. 4B), underscored by differential metabolite loading plots in WT and KO (Fig. 4C). The KATP channel dependent metabolome, arrayed by unsupervised agglomerative clustering, spanned 6 of the 7 pathway macroclusters encompassing all measured metabolites. Downregulated metabolites contributed to 4 and upregulated metabolites to all 6 pathway macroclusters (Fig. 4D). Kir6.2 deletion precipitated a distinct pattern of change. The percent of metabolites changed in each pathway macrocluster ranged from 17 to 35% (Fig. 4D, upper inset). Specifically, the number of metabolites significantly changed were: 16 (12 up, 4 down) out of 53 in the amino acid cluster; 6 (up) out of 27 in the carbohydrate cluster; 2 (1 up, 1 down) out of 6 in the cofactor/vitamin cluster; 1 (up) out of 6 in the energy cluster; 26 (18 up, 8 down) out of 100 in the lipid cluster; and 8 (5 up, 3 down) out of 23 in the nucleotide cluster. Notably, 100% predictive classification accuracy across cohorts was achieved in Random Forest modeling using the top 30 differential metabolites (Fig. 4D, lower inset). Thus, the resolved chemometric fingerprint mapping the extent and diversity of metabolite changes readily distinguished KO from WT hearts, underscoring the impact of KATP channel deficiency on the cardiac metabolome.
Kir6.2 dependent metabolic prioritization
Supervised classification of the metabolome by soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) validated KO and WT intra-group consistency and inter-cohort separation, as evident by partial least squares—discriminant analysis (PLS-DA; Fig. 5A). Systems modeling by SIMCA identified 28 metabolites with variable importance in projection (VIP) scores exceeding 1.5, affirming their prominence in group segregation (Fig. 5B). The top scoring metabolite was nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+; reduced in KO by ≈ 30% from WT levels). In parallel, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism was the top pathway for cohort discrimination. The Kir6.2 dependent differential metabolome was expanded to a 135 node scale-free interactome (Fig. 5C). Unsupervised classification by Metabolite Pathway Analysis (MetPA) of the interactome corroborated the preeminence of NAD+ and the nicotinate and nicotinamide pathway (Fig. 5D), with 75% of the most significant MetPA pathways confirmed among the top pathways modeled by VIP scoring (Fig. 5D, bold italicized font). While NAD+ levels were significantly reduced in response to Kir6.2 ablation (P = 1.37 × 10−7; Fig. 5E, left), flavin adenine dinucleotide (the other primary electron acceptor) did not differ between WT and KO cohorts (P = 0.55; Fig. 5E, right). Consistent with NAD+ prioritization by unsupervised and supervised systems interrogation, NAD+ was associated with the greatest number of metabolic and signaling pathways enriched in KO hearts (Fig. 6A,B). Notably, 61% (22/36) of enriched Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) canonical pathways were NAD+ related (Fig. 6A). Less preeminent was glycine linked to 12 enriched pathways, followed by l-glutamine (7 pathways), xanthine (6), l-tyrosine (5), and 4 or fewer IPA enriched pathways for the remaining 22 metabolites. Likewise, 95% (60/63) of enriched Metabolite Set Enrichment Analysis (MSEA) pathways were associated with NAD+ (Fig. 6B). In contrast, second-ranked glycine was associated with only 9 of the 63 pathways. Additional metabolites linking to MSEA enriched pathways included l-glutamine (7 pathways), glycerol-3-phosphate (6), and β-alanine (4), with 3 or fewer enriched pathways linking to each of the remaining 21 differential metabolites. Concordant with an NAD+-centric KO metabotype, the corresponding Kir6.2 dependent proteome displayed altered expression of 9 proteins associated with NAD+ biosynthesis, consumption, or utilization (Fig. 6C). Complementary interrogation thus identified altered metabolites prioritizing key pathways delineating the metabolic identity of the Kir6.2 deficient state.
Cardiac susceptibility imprinted in the remodeled multiome
Integrated multiomics analysis was used to query the influence of the remodeled metabolome and proteome in the setting of Kir6.2 deficiency. Metabolome enrichment profiling in response to Kir6.2 ablation revealed 36 overrepresented functions, prioritizing metabolism (11 functions), followed by development (7), homeostasis and survival (6), signaling, transport, and motility (5), morphology and structure (4), as well as functions (3) involved in cell cycle, DNA, and gene expression (Fig. 7A, left). Of note, 97% of proteome-enriched functions (35/37) matched the metabolome-enriched functions, revealing synonymity across platform readouts (Fig. 7A, Venn diagram). Collective analysis of metabolome and proteome datasets unmasked disease and adverse outcome susceptibility in response to Kir6.2 ablation. Specifically, multiomics interrogation demonstrated an enrichment of metabolic disease, developmental and hereditary disorders, organismal injury, inflammatory and immunological dysfunction, and muscle-related disorder including cardiovascular disease (Fig. 7B). Moreover, an array of cardiac adverse outcomes was overrepresented, with predicted susceptibility to enlargement, dysfunction, arrhythmia, dilation, tachycardia, necrosis/cell death, congenital heart anomaly, and damage (Fig. 7C). Thus, Kir6.2 deficit induces congruent remodeling of the proteome and metabolome, yielding a multiome imprint of cardiac compromise.
Plasma metabolome distinct in Kir6.2 knockout
To assess the utility of peripheral plasma in distinguishing Kir6.2 KO, plasma metabolites from corresponding WT (n = 10) and KO (n = 10) mice were isolated and analyzed. Of the 257 measured plasma metabolites (Supplementary Table 4), a quarter (or 61 metabolites) were significantly altered (P < 0.05) in response to Kir6.2 ablation. Supervised classification of the plasma metabolome by PLS-DA documented separation of KO from WT (Fig. 8A), with p-cresol sulfate and N-acetylornithine the top metabolites in predicting cohort discrimination. Unsupervised agglomerative clustering documented 34 elevated and 27 decreased metabolites, segregating WT and KO cohorts (Fig. 8B). Random Forest modeling achieved 95% predictive classification across cohorts (i.e., correctly allocating 10/10 WT and 9/10 KO; Fig. 8C, upper), and specified p-cresol sulfate and N-acetylornithine as top ranked discriminatory metabolites (Fig. 8C, lower). Rank ordered by mean decrease accuracy scores, the top 30 differential plasma metabolites used for classification spanned metabolic pathways (Fig. 8C, lower), with inter-group separation articulated by 3-D PCA (Fig. 8D). Thus, plasma profiling discriminated KO from WT at the metabolome level.
Distinct Kir6.2 knockout plasma reflects heart metabolome
Functional enrichment analysis of the resolved differential plasma metabolome recapitulated 94% of the 36 functional traits enriched in the corresponding heart metabolome (Supplementary Table 5). Over one quarter of Kir6.2 dependent tissue metabolome changes (16/59) were also detected as differentially expressed in plasma (Fig. 9A, upper). Of these common changes, 94% (15/16) exhibited concordant direction of change in response to Kir6.2 deletion, with 10 upregulated and 5 downregulated metabolites spanning metabolic pathways (Fig. 9A, lower). This shared core included the metabolites prioritized by both SIMCA VIP scoring and Random Forest modeling, namely p-cresol sulfate and N-acetylornithine (see also Fig. 8A,C), offering a plasma readout of tissue level change (Fig. 9B). The differential plasma metabolome reproduced the disease and disorder enrichment associations prioritized in the corresponding heart tissue (Fig. 9C). Matching the extent of heart damage susceptibility predicted from the tissue metabolome, the plasma metabolome prognosticated cardiovascular adverse outcome (Fig. 9D). Tissue concordant differential metabolites within the plasma metabolome thus represent potential reporter molecules of latent cardiac susceptibility associated with Kir6.2 deficiency.
Discussion
The present study demonstrates that hearts deprived of the Kir6.2 KATP channel pore undergo a proteomic and metabolomic overhaul beyond constitutive channel subunits. The distinct proteome and metabolome conversion underpinned adaptation in hearts lacking functional KATP channels. Deep phenotyping characterized a metabo-centric metamorphosis across the molecular infrastructure and biochemical output of Kir6.2 devoid hearts, compromised by an imprint of disease susceptibility. The resolved Kir6.2 dependent interactome highlights the centrality of intact KATP channels in proteome and metabolome maintenance ensuring heart resilience.
A systems biology strategy was here employed to acquire and interpret molecular information sampled in vivo across complementary proteomic and metabolomic dimensions39 (Fig. 10). Proteomic surveillance of the myocardium identified over 56,000 peptides representing 4846 proteins, enabling untargeted capture of the Kir6.2 dependent expression change spectrum. The high stringency design pinpointed 111 altered proteins across a range of vital cellular processes, demonstrating metabolic primacy of the remodeled KATP channel deficient heart proteome. Comprehensive protein cataloging extended the findings of more targeted approaches linking metabolism with the cardiac KATP channel at local partner, associated pathway, or subproteome levels40,41,42,43,44,45. Specificity of observed changes attributed to plasmalemmal KATP channel integrity was supported by unaltered expression of Mitok and Mitosur, in line with a distinct, non-redundant, channel identity in subcellular compartments46.
Underpinnings of metabolic prioritization were further mined by unbiased evaluation of the cardiac KATP channel dependent metabolome. Multidimensional chemometric profiling revealed that 27% of ventricular metabolites were altered in response to Kir6.2 ablation, spanning metabolic families. The metabolomic changes provoked by Kir6.2 ablation are comparable in magnitude to those characterizing hearts with compromised energy regulators or failing hearts47,48.
Notably, Kir6.2 dependent metabolome and proteome enriched functions exhibited remarkable overlap (97% for the metabolome and 95% for the proteome), revealing convergence across platform readouts. Screening multiple omics layers from the same source, in conjunction with data inclusivity free of selection and interpretation bias, supports the validity and utility of considering unique yet interrelated datasets49,50. Taken together, the congruent interrogation over multiple molecular strata underscored the impact of KATP channels as an influential nexus in cardiac metabolism.
Across the breadth of KATP channel dependent reorganization, systems deconvolution prioritized the multivalent coenzyme NAD+ and its associated metabolic pathways. The decrease in NAD+ in Kir6.2 deficient hearts was paralleled by change in NAD+ associated proteins, including upregulation of NAD+ salvage enzymes, namely the metazoan spot homologue 1 (Hddc3)51 and renalase (Rnls)52. Maintenance of NAD+ is vital to tissue homeostasis53,54, with myocardial NAD+ pool derangement associated with metabolic remodeling in heart failure and supplementation preserving cardiac performance55,56,57. Notably, NAD+ at physiological concentrations regulates KATP channel activity58, and a nicotinamide-rich diet upregulates KATP channel expression and increases myocardial resilience59. In this context, the present findings support a reciprocal relationship of KATP channels and metabolism, and reveal that the Kir6.2 null heart is typified by NAD+ deficit, a prominent feature of cardiomyopathy prone environments60.
Indeed, dual metabolome and proteome assessment of the Kir6.2 knockout heart exposed an acquired predisposition to disease susceptibility. This vulnerability signature was herein evident in the young adult at an age apparently free from Kir6.2 dependent extracardiac confounders such as altered insulin secretion, glucose tolerance, and muscle properties61. The molecular imprint of heart disease susceptibility was present in advance of overt physiological dysfunction, suggesting that molecular reorganization in response to Kir6.2 deletion is a compensatory adaptation in the young adult animal. Documented independently or collectively across profiling modalities, the current multiomics findings build on initial single omic exploration of Kir6.2 loss62. The predictive imprint of disease risk is further reinforced by overt organ failure compromising KATP channel deficient hearts subjected to stress63,64,65,66,67,68,69. KATP channels are implicated in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, recognized as early responders to metabolic challenge70. The mechanism by which Kir6.2 ablation mediates subcellular adaptation needs further study. In principle the observed proteome and metabolome remodelling could be related to the energetically costly KO heart’s propensity for exaggerated Ca2+ loading9,11,12,22. Calcium overload has been directly implicated in cellular transformation at the protein and metabolite level71. Here none of the identified proteins involved in Ca2+ handling, regulation, or homeostasis differed in expression between WT and KO (see Supplemental Table 1). This would suggest that omic alterations could be mediated by a proclivity for Ca2+ loading on a beat-to-beat basis, rather than a structural change across the Ca2+ regulatory proteome.
Corroborating the cardiac disease risk exposed at the tissue level, the resolved KATP channel dependent plasma metabolome independently reflected myocardial susceptibility. Diverse pathological processes associated with organ failure can be monitored by blood biomarkers, serving as molecular surrogates for early disease diagnosis, stratification, and detection at an asymptomatic state72. Among concordant differential metabolites shared between tissue and plasma, p-cresol sulfate and N-acetylornithine were consistently prioritized across applied modeling algorithms. Upregulation of p-cresol sulfate and downregulation of N-acetylornithine have been associated with cardiovascular disease, namely in (a)symptomatic cardiac dysfunction and incident heart failure73,74,75,76. These candidate biomarkers offer a clinically applicable and readily accessible source for detecting KATP channel dependent vulnerability.
Limitations in proteomic and metabolomic analyses may arise from small sample number, restricted data inclusivity, absence of cross-validation, or inadequate application of interrogation resources77,78,79,80. Here, quality control ensured that the extended cohort size used was adequately powered to capture distinct patterns at high resolution. Moreover, high throughput screening was applied without imposed constraints for inclusive data input, avoiding inadvertent biases. Examining datasets with, and extracting common signatures from, multiple algorithms here provided added confidence in interpretation. Accordingly, supervised and unsupervised approaches were systematically employed following best practices, generating matching output across platforms. Additionally, examination of the heart and plasma in a global deletion model must account for potential confounding effects arising from extracardiac influences. To mitigate this possibility in the present study where Kir6.2 expression in pancreas and skeletal muscle was also impacted, young adult mice (< 4 months of age) were chosen for analysis at an age when insulin secretion, glucose tolerance, and skeletal muscle properties are known to be equivalent between WT animals and those with Kir6.2 deletion61.
In conclusion, an atlas of KATP channel dependent interactome was here constructed using an unbiased systems strategy integrating proteome and metabolome strata. Multiomics surveillance of Kir6.2 null hearts mapped a metabo-centric landscape, exposing latent vulnerability further traceable in the plasma metabolome. The captured multidimensionality of the KATP channel reliant bioenergetic system offers a broadened perspective on a vital contributor to cardiac homeostasis.
Methods
Ethics approval
Protocols were approved by the Mayo Clinic Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, following National Institutes of Health guidelines. Reporting of animal studies here follows the recommendations in the ARRIVE guidelines81. Mice were young adult (up to 4 month-old) male WT (C57BL6) and age-, sex-, environment-matched Kir6.2 null KATP channel KO counterparts. Of note, up to this age, KO mice maintain insulin secretion, glucose tolerance, and skeletal muscle properties within a normal range61.
In vivo physiology
Group-housed sedentary mice (≤ 5 siblings per cage) received standard chow, with WT and KO exhibiting equivalent glycemic levels61. Cardiac structure and function were evaluated under 1–2% isoflurane anesthesia (n = 14). Left ventricular (LV) dimension and wall thickness were measured by echocardiography M-mode parasternal long-axis view (MX400 transducer, Vevo3100 system; MS-400 transducer, Vevo2100; FUJIFILM VisualSonics, Toronto, Canada)82,83. Hemodynamics was assessed by LV catheterization (PVR-1045 catheter, MPVS-400; PowerLab 8/30; Miller Instruments, Houston, TX; ADInstruments, Colorado Springs, CO). LV ejection fraction (EF) was calculated as EF% = 100 × (LVEDV − LVESV)/LVEDV, where LVEDV and LVESV are end‐diastolic and end‐systolic volumes84,85. First derivatives (dP/dT maximum and minimum) evaluated LV systolic and diastolic pressure86. Difference between groups was assessed by Mann‐Whitney U test (JMP Pro 14.1.0, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation with P < 0.05 significant.
Cell electrophysiology
Cardiomyocytes were isolated by enzymatic dissociation87. Under anesthesia, following thoracotomy, the right ventricle was perfused with 7 mL of HEPES buffer (in mM: 10 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazine ethanesulfonic acid [HEPES], pH 7.8; 130 NaCl; 5 KCl; 0.5 NaH2PO4; 10 glucose; 10 2,3-butanedione monoxime; 10 taurine) containing 5 mM EDTA. Following aortic clamping, the coronary arteries were perfused through the left ventricle with 10 mL HEPES buffer + 5 mM EDTA, followed by 3 mL HEPES buffer + 1 mM MgCl2, and 30–40 mL HEPES collagenase buffer + 1 mM MgCl2 (with 0.5 mg/ml collagenase II, 0.5 mg/ml collagenase IV, and 0.05 mg/ml protease XIV). Released cells were filtered through 100 μm nylon mesh and gravity settled, with CaCl2 increased to 1.2 mM. Whole cell voltage-clamp was conducted by patch-clamp amplifier (Axopatch 200B, Molecular Devices, San Jose, CA) for cardiomyocytes bathed in (in mM) 136.5 NaCl, 5.4 KCl, 1.0 MgCl2, 5.5 glucose, and 10 HEPES–NaOH (pH 7.3) at 31 ± 0.5 °C using an HCC-100A temperature controller (Dagan Corp., Minneapolis, MN). Pipettes (resistance: 4–5 MΩ) contained (in mM) 140 KCl, 1 MgCl2, 5 EGTA-KOH, 5 HEPES–KOH, and 5 MgATP (pH 7.3). Stimulation protocol, data acquisition, and cell parameter determination were performed using BioQuest software88.
Multiomics sampling
For molecular profile sampling, excised hearts were rinsed with ice-cold phosphate buffered saline. For proteomics, ventricular apex was placed in cryovials, snap frozen in liquid N2, and stored at −80 °C, with remaining ventricle snap frozen and stored at −80 °C for tissue metabolomics. For plasma metabolomics, blood collected in cryovials containing 5 µL of 0.5 M EDTA was centrifuged at 2000×g (10 min at 4 °C), with supernatant transferred to fresh cryovials, frozen in liquid N2, and stored at −80 °C.
Proteomics
Protein extraction
Ventricular proteins were extracted by 3 rounds of homogenization and centrifugation in 150 µL of 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, Mini-Complete™ protease inhibitor (−)EDTA cocktail (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN), and 1% phosphatase inhibitor cocktails 2 and 3 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) at 4 °C, followed by 3 rounds of pellet extraction in 150 µL of 7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, and 2% 3-((3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio)-1-propanesulfonic acid89. Extracts were quantified by Bio-Rad protein assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) using bovine γ-globulin standard. Samples (30 µg per extract) were resolved by 10.5–14% gradient Criterion Tris–HCL precast (Bio-Rad) sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and stained with Coomassie blue R-250, with gel lanes sectioned for individual mass spectrometry runs.
Nano-flow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
Gel tranches were de-stained, with protein reduced, alkylated, digested with trypsin, and peptides extracted and dried89. Peptides were resuspended in 0.2% formic acid, 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, and 0.002% zwittergent 3–16 (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA), and analyzed by nano-flow LC–MS/MS using a Q-Exactive Hybrid Quadrupole Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany) coupled to a Thermo UltiMate 3000 RSLCnano HPLC system. Peptides were loaded onto a 250 nL OPTI-PAK trap (Optimize Technologies, Oregon City, OR) packed with Michrom Magic C8, 5 µm solid phase (Michrom Bioresources, Auburn, CA). Chromatography was performed using 0.2% formic acid in solvents A (98% water, 2% acetonitrile) and B (80% acetonitrile, 10% isopropanol, 10% water), over a 2–45% B gradient for 60 min at 400 nL/min through a 100 µm × 35 cm PicoFrit column (New Objective, Woburn, MA) packed with Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-C18 (Agilent Scientific Instruments, Santa Clara, CA). MS1 survey scans 350–2000 m/z were acquired at 70,000 resolution targeting 3 × 106 ions and 60 ms maximum inject time, followed by data dependent high energy collisional dissociation MS2 on the top 15 ions at 17,500 resolution targeting 2 × 105 ions with 60 ms maximum inject time, using dynamic exclusion of measured ions for 60 s.
Mass spectrometry data analysis
Raw files consisting of 10 LC–MS/MS runs per sample were processed in MaxQuant 1.6.7.090, using Andromeda search engine for label-free quantification (LFQ), with applied fastLFQ settings. Spectra were searched against UniProt mouse entries, combining forward and reverse peptides as decoys to estimate FDR, with peptide match and protein assignment FDR set at 0.01. Search parameters included trypsin/P digestion, cysteine carbamido-methylation, and variable modifications of amino-terminal protein acetylation, glutamate to pyro-glutamate, and methionine oxidation. Maximum charge was + 7, with up to 3 dynamic modifications, maximum of 2 missed cleavages, and minimum of 7 amino acids. Mass tolerance was 20 and 10 ppm for first and main searches. LFQ identification was maximized by MaxQuant’s ‘Match Between Runs’ feature, assigning identified spectra from one LC–MS/MS run to corresponding aligned mass and retention time spectra in other runs. Peptides were rolled into protein assignments, requiring ≥ 2 peptides per protein.
Differential expression
Relative protein abundance was calculated in R (cran.r-project.org) using Proteus91, for limma analysis92 of label-free MaxQuant data. Peptide information acquired from MaxQuant evidence files was filtered for contaminants and reverse peptides without imputing missing values. Peptides were rolled into corresponding proteins, data median normalized, and the high-flyer method applied to calculate relative protein abundance. Proteins with FDR corrected P < 0.05 were considered differentially expressed.
Metabolomics
Tissue (> 50 mg) and plasma (> 150 µL) metabolites were processed for untargeted gas chromatography (GC)/MS, and for positive and negative ion mode liquid chromatography (+ LC and − LC)/MS (Metabolon, Research Triangle Park, NC). Protein was removed using organic and aqueous buffers, placed on a TurboVap® (Zymark, Hopkinton, MA), frozen, and small molecules dried under vacuum.
Gas chromatography mass spectrometry
For GC/MS of volatile metabolites, samples were re-dried under vacuum prior to derivatization under N2 using bistrimethyl-silyl-triflouroacetamide. Samples were analyzed on a Thermo-Finnigan Trace DSQ single-quadrupole MS by electron impact ionization using a 5% phenyl GC column with a 40–300 °C ramp over 16 min.
Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry
LC/MS samples were resolved on a Waters ACQUITY UPLC and Thermo-Finnigan LTQ-FT mass spectrometer. For + LC/MS and − LC/MS, extracts were gradient eluted using water and methanol buffers containing 0.1% formic acid or 6.5 mM ammonium bicarbonate, respectively, alternating between MS1 and MS2 injection scans using dynamic exclusion.

Metabolites were identified by matching spectral chromatographic elution properties to Metabolon’s curated library. Expression values were log transformed, and imputation applied using the minimum measured value. Random Forest classification was carried out to model individual cohort allocation, generating decision tree ensembles of the top 30 predictive metabolites. Boxplots of metabolite expression were generated with JMP 14.1.0 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Statistical analysis was performed in R, using Welch’s Two-Sample t-test with P < 0.05 significant.
Systems bioinformatics
Clustering
Hierarchical agglomerative clustering (with z-score transformed normalization) and PCA visualization were conducted using ClustVis93. For 3-D PCA, principal components were plotted in Spotfire 10.0.0 (TIBCO, Palo Alto, CA).
Soft independent modeling of class analogy
Metabolome grouping and class membership was predicted by soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA 15.0.2, Sartorius, Bohemia, NY) using PLS-DA. Individual metabolite PLS-DA contributions were rank ordered by VIP scores.
Functional enrichment
Differential metabolome interrogation was carried out by MSEA and MetPA within MetaboAnalyst 4.0 (metaboanalyst.ca)94. Using Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) identifiers, normalized expression values were analyzed by MSEA, screening Small Molecule Pathway Database (smpdb.ca) libraries. For pathway analysis, the HMDB identifier expression matrix was uploaded in MetPA, surveying the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Mus musculus metabolic pathway library. In MetPA a global enrichment test was applied, with calculation of the relative betweenness centrality, a network topological parameter of metabolite contribution to shortest paths within the enriched pathway. The entire library served as reference for MSEA and MetPA calculations.
Pathway and network analysis
Proteins and metabolites were submitted to IPA (QIAGEN Bioinformatics, Hilden, Germany), prescribing cutoffs of corrected P < 0.05 for proteins, P < 0.05 for metabolites. IPA output included: enriched canonical pathways; molecular, cellular, and physiological functions; diseases and disorders; cardiac adverse outcomes; and network interactions. Significance was calculated using Fisher’s Exact Test, screening proteins against the gene background and metabolites against the compound library, or both when interpreting merged data. Merged pairwise interactions generated composite networks, exported to Cytoscape 3.8.295. In Cytoscape, NetworkAnalyzer yielded degree distributions to evaluate network topology96, with Gene Ontology (GO) Biological Process enrichment assessed in BiNGO (Biological Network Gene Ontology), applying a hypergeometric distribution and Benjamini–Hochberg FDR correction97. Enriched processes were clustered and visualized as a bubble plot, with bubble diameters proportional to the number of annotations and vertically centered at the harmonic mean P-value98.
