7. Project Summary/Abstract Candidate The overall goal of this K99/R00 proposal is to facilitate my transition from a training track (undergraduate, PhD, and postdoctoral) to a leadership track as a fully independent academic investigator. My goals for the K99 component are to develop skills that are still lacking but necessary to my research goals, cultivate a substantial base of knowledge and preliminary data, and acquire a tenure-track assistant professorship. I have laid out an extensive training plan to help me achieve these goals. This plan includes learning new techniques, coursework, presenting my work at local and international conferences, and learning to be a mentor. I will be guided by an invaluable group of senior investigators, including my mentor, three scientific advisors, three external collaborators, and a career development advisor. My goals for the R00 are to use my unique skill set, which bridges two fields of biomedical research, to launch a productive and successful laboratory. During this time, I plan to recruit students and assistants, collect data, publish my work, identify mentors and advisors in my new environment, develop new collaborations, and apply for an R01. My long- term career goals as an academic investigator are to advance knowledge in the field of metabolic diseases, develop new medical treatment and diagnostic options for patients, train high quality investigators, and to develop fruitful collaborations with investigators in the same and other disciplines. Environment Columbia University is among the finest academic institutions nationwide, by almost any measure. The productivity on campus is reflected in its ranking as #11 among universities, colleges, and private institutions in federal research funding. Columbia's Department of Medicine has a long history of scientific excellence, and is currently home to outstanding investigators in the fields related to my research: lipid metabolism, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and obesity. With this rich environment, I have full access to all of the resources to perform the proposed research. My mentor, advisors, and collaborators, both at Columbia and elsewhere, constitute a crucial aspect of this proposal. During the K99, I plan to take advantage of their expertise and guidance, with regard to science and career. Research Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death and disability in the country. Available therapies are inadequate, in part because they fail to redress the primary defects in many patients at high risk for CVD. The metabolic syndrome and diabetes are two major risk factors for CVD, and they are associated with a characteristic constellation of lipid metabolic abnormalities that accelerate atherogenesis, including high serum triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and accumulation of liver fat, defects that are poorly responsive to current hypolipidemic agents. Understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms of these defects will expand the repertoire of targets for atherosclerosis treatment and prevention. However, a crucial gap in our knowledge exists: we do not know why triglycerides rise and HDL-C falls in the natural history of the metabolic syndrome. The liver is of critical interest, because it straddles both glucose and lipid metabolism, and it has become clear that the notion of "insulin resistance" can not explain all of the metabolic defects present in the liver. I am interested in exploring non-canonical connections among signaling pathways that drive hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism, in the hope of enlisting new players in the therapeutic approach to CVD. In preliminary data, I demonstrate a heretofore unknown link between the canonical Akt-FoxO pathway, bile acid (BA) composition, and lipid synthesis. To investigate this pathway, I propose three aims: in Aim 1, I will examine the role of the BA receptor FXR in linking FoxO-dependent transcription with lipogenesis; in Aim 2, I will investigate the requirement for the oxysterol receptor LXR and the role of cholesterol in this process; and in Aim 3, I will study the effect of FoxO- dependent BA composition on the activity of the cell surface BA receptor, TGR5, in peripheral tissues, as a potential extra-hepatic mechanism of impaired lipid metabolism. These data will provide a roadmap to design new therapeutic interventions in the treatment of dyslipidemia within the rapidly growing population of people with the metabolic syndrome.
