Maintaining cardiac structure and function throughout the lifespan requires a delicate balance in carbon allocation between energetic and biosynthetic processes. At the nexus of this balance are prohibitins-1 and -2 (PHB1, 2) which form a ring-like complex in mitochondrial and plasma membranes responsible for coordinating cellular growth, metabolism and autophagy. Here we describe how ablation of the PHB complex in cardiomyocytes of adult mice (cPHB1KO) causes unrestrained mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity and a Warburg-like reprogramming of glucose metabolism in heart toward enhanced de novo amino acid biosynthesis. These changes are accompanied by disruptions in mitochondrial Ca2+ handling and impaired autophagy, leading to severe dilated cardiomyopathy and mortality within 12 weeks. Using pharmacological and nutritional approaches, we further show that mTORC1 inhibition attenuates pathologic cardiac remodeling only in female cPHB1KO mice. Our findings illustrate novel mechanisms linking the PHB complex with altered carbon flux and pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy.
