 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R01 application will investigate a novel signaling pathway, the Hippo pathway, in mammalian heart regeneration. The long-term goal is to develop new treatments for patients with heart failure by generating new cardiomyocytes in the adult heart. The objectives of this application are to gain insight into molecular properties of cardiac tissue that are regulated by Hippo signaling. The central hypothesis is that Hippo signaling is a negative regulatory pathway that prevents cardiomyocyte regeneration in the adult mammalian heart. The specific aims are to determine whether the Hippo and Wnt pathways regulate adult heart regeneration in a manner similar to the interaction in heart development; to determine whether the sumoylation post-translation modification is an important mechanism in Yap regulation; and to determine whether Hippo functions in the context of a chronic scar after myocardial infarction. The project is conceptually and technically innovative. Concepts to be tested include new ideas in cardiomyocyte biology and cutting edge genome editing technologies to address hypotheses. The significance is high because there are no treatments for heart failure due to cardiomyocyte loss. Devising ways to generate new cardiomyocytes is highly significant.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：此R01应用程序将在哺乳动物心脏再生中调查新的信号通路，河马途径。长期目标是通过在成人心脏中产生新的心肌细胞来为心力衰竭患者开发新的治疗方法。该应用的目标是洞悉受河马信号调节的心脏组织的分子特性。中心假设是河马信号传导是一种负调节途径，可防止成年哺乳动物心脏中心肌细胞再生。具体目的是确定河马和WNT途径是否以类似于心脏发育相互作用的方式调节成人心脏的再生；确定翻译后修饰后是否是YAP调节的重要机制；并确定河马在心肌梗塞后是否在慢性疤痕的背景下起作用。该项目在概念和技术上都是创新的。要测试的概念包括心肌细胞生物学和尖端基因组编辑技术中的新思想，以解决假设。意义很高，因为由于心肌细胞丧失没有治疗心力衰竭的治疗方法。设计产生新的心肌细胞的方法非常重要。
