ABSTRACT DC-HUB DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER The intention of this P20 planning grant application is to establish the “Developmental Center for Human Urinary Bladder Myogenic Mechanisms by Ion Channels in Health and Disease” (DC-HUB), focused on investigating the role of ion channels in benign urology. Ion channels play important roles in urinary bladder function, but much remains to be discovered. The objective of this DC-HUB planning grant is to organize a multidisciplinary collaborative program at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC). The goal of this multidisciplinary collaborative program is to examine the roles of ion channels and their regulatory mechanisms in the human urinary bladder under normal and benign pathological conditions. The program will investigate the molecular, cellular, tissue, and whole organism (in vivo) mechanisms by which ion channels regulate urinary bladder function and dysfunction, leading to identification of novel pharmacological targets for benign urological indications. Our collaborative DC-HUB will consist of investigators with demonstrated expertise in basic and clinical urology, physiology, pharmacology, electrophysiology, drug discovery, biochemistry, and signal transduction. Employing a rigorous interdisciplinary approach, using state-of-the-art techniques, we will determine the roles of ion channels and their regulatory mechanisms in urinary bladder function from molecules and isolated cells to intact tissues and whole organisms. Our long-term goal is to establish an effective multidisciplinary program to develop novel strategies for safe and effective therapeutic control of overactive bladder (OAB). This DC-HUB proposal is a result of extensive collaboration among basic science and clinical faculty at UTHSC from Colleges of Pharmacy and Medicine. Our partnership for excellence in research, education, and community outreach is grounded on complementary strengths, mutual respect, and a genuine passion to create a new Research Center focused on the role of ion channels in benign urology. By the end of this P20 planning grant period, we will develop a coherent theme and strategy for our interdisciplinary collaborative research program and establish interactive and collaborative research projects, each with working hypotheses and aims fully developed at the submission of an NIH U54-level or P01-level grant application. Our multidisciplinary research team involving UTHSC faculty and outside collaborators perfectly matches the description criteria for this current NIH P20 RFA-DK-18-028 solicitation. Therefore, there is a high likelihood for this integrative effort to grow into an NIH U54-level, multi-PI R01, or P01-level grant.

DC-HUB实验中心 本P20规划拨款申请的目的是建立“人类泌尿系统发展中心”， 健康和疾病中离子通道的膀胱肌生成机制”（DC-HUB），专注于研究 离子通道在良性泌尿外科中的作用。离子通道在膀胱功能中起着重要作用， 还有待发现。该DC-HUB规划补助金的目标是组织一个多学科的 田纳西大学健康科学中心（UTHSC）的合作项目。这个目标 一个多学科合作项目是研究离子通道的作用及其调节机制 在正常和良性病理条件下的人膀胱中。该计划将调查 离子通道调节尿的分子、细胞、组织和整个生物体（体内）机制 膀胱功能和功能障碍，导致良性泌尿系统疾病的新药理学靶点的鉴定 迹象。我们的合作DC-HUB将由具有基础和专业知识的研究人员组成， 临床泌尿学、生理学、药理学、电生理学、药物发现、生物化学和信号 转导采用严格的跨学科方法，使用最先进的技术，我们将 从分子水平确定离子通道在膀胱功能中的作用及其调节机制 从分离的细胞到完整的组织和整个生物体。我们的长期目标是建立一个有效的 多学科计划，开发安全有效的治疗控制过度活跃的新策略 膀胱（OAB）。这个DC-HUB提案是基础科学和临床之间广泛合作的结果。 来自药学和医学学院的UTHSC教师。我们在研究方面的卓越合作， 教育和社区外展的基础是互补的优势，相互尊重，和真正的 热情创建一个新的研究中心，专注于离子通道在良性泌尿学中的作用。年底前 在P20规划资助期间，我们将为我们的跨学科项目制定一个连贯的主题和战略。 合作研究计划，并建立互动和合作的研究项目，每个工作 假设和目标在提交NIH U 54级或P01级资助申请时得到充分发展。我们 涉及UTHSC教师和外部合作者的多学科研究团队完全符合 当前NIH P20 RFA-DK-18-028征集的描述标准。因此，很有可能 这种综合性的努力发展成为NIH U 54级，多PI R 01或P01级资助。
