Cellular autoimmune responses, especially those mediated by T-cells, play vital roles in the immunopathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Metabolic reprogramming directly controls T-cell function, imprinting distinct functional fates. However, its contribution to T-cell dysfunction and the immunopathogenesis of DCM is unknown. Here, we found that in DCM patients, CD4 T-cells exhibited immune dysfunction and glycolytic metabolic reprogramming based on extracellular acidification and oxygen consumption rates. Similar results were observed in splenic and cardiac CD4 T-cells from autoimmune-induced DCM mice. In vitro, the glycolysis inhibitor 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-DG) reversed T-cell dysfunction; thus, heightened metabolic activity directly controls CD4 T-cell immunological status. Adoptive transfer of CD4 T-cells from DCM mice to normal recipients induced cardiac remodeling and cardiac T-cell dysfunction. Strikingly, these effects were abolished by preconditioning cells with 2-DG, indicating that CD4 T-cell dysfunction partially induced by metabolic reprogramming contributes to cardiac remodeling. Moreover, the microRNA let-7i modulated the metabolism and function of T-cells from DCM mice by directly targeting Myc. Collectively, our results show that metabolic reprogramming occurs in T-cells of autoimmune-induced DCM mice and patients. Further, our findings highlight that glycolytic metabolism is a critical contributor to T-cell dysfunction and DCM immunopathogenesis. Our data position the modulation of the metabolism as a central integrator for T-cell function, representing a promising strategy against autoimmune-mediated DCM progression.
