DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Heart disease remains the most common cause of death in our society. While therapies have evolved considerably over the past decades, this evolution has paralleled the creation of a growing number of patients with chronic heart failure. Our broader understanding of the pathophysiology of disease beyond the renin- angiotensin-aldosterone system is necessary to develop additional tools to treat heart failure. The role of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy in maintaining critical protein quality control functions in the heart has gained increasing attention due to the apparent role of misfolded proteins in the pathogenesis of heart failure. However, there is a broad gap in our understanding of how the UPS and autophagy systems are directed by ubiquitin ligases, the proteins that give specificity to both systems. The broad long-term goal of this project is to delineate the mechanisms that Muscle Ring Finger (MuRF) ubiquitin ligases regulate PPARα, PPARß/δ, and PPARγ1 activities, mitochondrial dynamics, and autophagy in the context of heart failure. Based on our preliminary studies, our central hypothesis is that the MuRF ubiquitin ligases are regulate PPARα, PPARß/δ, and PPARγ1 activities, control mitochondrial ROS, and are involved in autophagy to contextually protect cardiomyocytes in heart failure. A corollary hypothesis is that inhibiting MuRF1 may specifically protect against Calpain1-induced heart failure to provide a more specific cardioprotective anti-Calpain1 target in vivo. Our hypothesis predicts that inhibiting specific MuRF activities may be detrimental in heart failure where PPAR signaling is central to its pathogenesis (diabetic cardiomyopathy) or helpful where Calpain1 is mediates heart failure (ischemia reperfusion injury). The central hypothesis will be tested by completing the following Specific Aims (SA): (1) Elucidate the unique roles of MuRF family ubiquitin ligases in diabetic cardiomyopathy and heart failure. (2) Determine the molecular mechanisms MuRF1-dependent Calpain1 activity regulates cardiac mitochondrial function and ROS. (3) Determine the mechanisms cardiac MuRF1 regulates autophagy in vivo to enhance the heart's resistance to ischemia reperfusion injury and heart failure. For SA1, we will characterize the mechanisms MuRF2 and MuRF3 are protective in a high fat diet induced diabetic cardiomyopathy. For SA2, we'll determine the role of MuRF1-dependent Calpain1 in regulating ROS, mitochondrial dynamics, and eEF2 in heart failure. SA3 investigates the mechanisms MuRF1 regulates autophagy to integrate additional ways in which inhibiting MuRF1 may be contextually protective in heart failure. The present studies offer innovative paradigms elucidating the mechanisms in which MuRF proteins may be targeted for their ability to protect the heart in the context of heart failure.

描述（由申请人提供）：心脏病仍然是我们社会中最常见的死亡原因。虽然治疗方法在过去几十年里有了很大的发展，但这种发展与越来越多的慢性心力衰竭患者的出现是平行的。我们对肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统之外的疾病病理生理学的更广泛的理解对于开发治疗心力衰竭的额外工具是必要的。政府的角色
