Autophagic dysfunction is observed in diabetes mellitus. Resveratrol has a beneficial effect on diabetic cardiomyopathy. Whether the resveratrol‐induced improvement in cardiac function in diabetes is via regulating autophagy remains unclear. We investigated the mechanisms underlying resveratrol‐mediated protection against heart failure in diabetic mice, with a focus on the role of sirtuin 1 ( SIRT 1) in regulating autophagic flux. Diabetic cardiomyopathy in mice was induced by streptozotocin ( STZ ). Long‐term resveratrol treatment improved cardiac function, ameliorated oxidative injury and reduced apoptosis in the diabetic mouse heart. Western blot analysis revealed that resveratrol decreased p62 protein expression and promoted SIRT 1 activity and Rab7 expression. Inhibiting autophagic flux with bafilomycin A1 increased diabetic mouse mortality and attenuated resveratrol‐induced down‐regulation of p62, but not SIRT 1 activity or Rab7 expression in diabetic mouse hearts. In cultured H9C2 cells, redundant or overactive H 2 O 2 increased p62 and cleaved caspase 3 expression as well as acetylated forkhead box protein O1 ( FOXO 1) and inhibited SIRT 1 expression. Sirtinol, SIRT 1 and Rab7 si RNA impaired the resveratrol amelioration of dysfunctional autophagic flux and reduced apoptosis under oxidative conditions. Furthermore, resveratrol enhanced FOXO 1 DNA binding at the Rab7 promoter region through a SIRT 1‐dependent pathway. These results highlight the role of the SIRT 1/ FOXO 1/Rab7 axis in the effect of resveratrol on autophagic flux in vivo and in vitro , which suggests a therapeutic strategy for diabetic cardiomyopathy.
