Germline disruption of PIMT results in early embryonic lethality due to impairment of development around blastocyst and uterine implantation stages. We now generated mice with Cre-mediated cardiac-specific deletion of PIMT (csPIMT\u2212\/\u2212) in adult mice. These mice manifest enlargement of heart, with nearly 100% mortality by 7.5 months of age due to dilated cardiomyopathy. Significant reductions in the expression of genes (i) pertaining to mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I to IV; (ii) calcium cycling cardiac muscle contraction (Atp2a1, Atp2a2, Ryr2); and (iii) nuclear receptor PPAR- regulated genes involved in glucose and fatty acid energy metabolism were found in csPIMT\u2212\/\u2212 mouse heart. Elevated levels of Nppa and Nppb mRNAs were noted in csPIMT\u2212\/\u2212 heart indicative of myocardial damage. These hearts revealed increased reparative fibrosis associated with enhanced expression of Tgf\u03b22 and Ctgf. Furthermore, cardiac-specific deletion of PIMT in adult mice, using tamoxifen-inducible Cre-approach (TmcsPIMT\u2212\/\u2212), results in the development of cardiomyopathy. Thus, cumulative evidence suggests that PIMT functions in cardiac energy metabolism by interacting with nuclear receptor coactivators and this property could be useful in the management of heart failure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms19051485","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,17]],"date-time":"2018-05-17T03:49:29Z","timestamp":1526528969000},"page":"1485","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["PIMT\/NCOA6IP Deletion in the Mouse Heart Causes Delayed Cardiomyopathy Attributable to Perturbation in Energy Metabolism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Yuzhi","family":"Jia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Navin","family":"Viswakarma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60612, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruya","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mathew J.","family":"Schipma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Next Generation Sequencing Core Facility, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meng","family":"Shang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Feinberg Cardiovascular Research Institute and Department of Medicine, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward B.","family":"Thorp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yashpal S.","family":"Kanwar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9842-5346","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bayar","family":"Thimmapaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janardan K.","family":"Reddy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10380","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.181347498","article-title":"Cloning and characterization of PIMT, a protein with a methyltransferase domain, which interacts with and enhances nuclear receptor coactivator PRIP function","volume":"98","author":"Zhu","year":"2001","journal-title":"Proc.
