Long-term dietary fatty acid intake alters the development of left ventricular hypertrophy, but the linking signaling pathways are unclear. We studied the role and underlying signaling mechanisms of dietary fat intake in the early phase of the hypertrophic process. Rats assigned for 4 weeks of high-oil, high-fat, or standard diet were subjected to angiotensin II (Ang II; 33 mg/kg/h, subcutaneous) or vehicle infusion for 24 h. The Ang II-induced increase in left ventricular mRNA levels of hypertrophy-associated genes was higher in rats fed the high-oil diet compared with the standard diet. Western blotting revealed that, in parallel with changes in gene expression, the high-oil diet increased c-Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation (P < 0.001). Ang II increased p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation in rats fed the high-fat diet (3-fold; P < 0.01). The increase in transcription factor activator protein-1 (AP-1) DNA binding activity in response to Ang II was higher in rats fed the high-oil diet compared with those fed the standard diet (P < 0.001). Ang II downregulated inducible nitric oxide synthase mRNA levels in fatty acid-supplemented groups compared with the standard diet group. These results show that dietary fat type modulates the early activation of hypertrophic genes in pressure-overloaded myocardium involving the distinct activation of AP-1 and MAPK signal transduction pathways.
