We have created two independent mouse models of adult cardiomyocyte-specific mitochondrial ATP synthase deficiency: cardiomyocyte-specific ATP5L knockout (KO) mice and cardiomyocyte-specific ATP5J KO mice. Analysis of both models have shown that mice with ~90% depletion of the mitochondrial ATP synthase unexpectedly remain healthy with normal cardiac function for several weeks before transitioning to lethal heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Studies in the parent grant are investigating the compensatory mechanisms that maintain cardiac function in the face of severe mitochondrial ATP synthase depletion in cardiomyocytes and the mechanisms that eventually mediate the transition to heart failure which, interestingly, do not appear to involve further deterioration of cardiac energetics. Given the traditional view that the mitochondrial ATP synthesis is essential to sustain energetics in mammalian cells – especially energy- demanding cells such as cardiomyocytes – it is surprising that ~10% of its usual levels in cardiomyocytes are adequate to sustain basal mouse health and cardiac function. Our results suggest that the full complement of mitochondrial ATP synthase in cardiomyocytes is not needed at rest. This observation raises the question as to how much of the mitochondrial ATP synthase is needed in cardiomyocytes to sustain cardiac function under more energetically demanding conditions, a question that could not be previously addressed without these mouse models. To answer this question, it is necessary to impose a physiological stress on the mice that increases the energetic demands of cardiomyocytes – but without simultaneously activating pathological stress pathways. We have chosen to use acute β-adrenergic stimulation with isoproterenol and, independently, acute exercise. A second objective of the Supplement is to deepen our baseline characterization of the ATP5J KO mice, which were generated by the candidate. The baseline characterization of the ATP5L KO mice is already complete. However, studies performed after the parent grant was funded, show that the ATP5J KO mice appear to have an accelerated phenotype. Hence, these mice need a thorough baseline characterization. Thus, the specific aims are: 1. To extend the baseline characterization of the cardiomyocyte-specific ATP5J knockout mice. 2. To assess the response of cardiomyocyte-specific ATP5L KO and ATP5J KO mouse lines to physiological stimuli that increase cardiomyocyte energetic demands. The scientific questions addressed in this Supplement are directly related to those of the parent grant and the resulting information will enhance our understanding of the findings of the parent grant. However, both the proposed work in the Supplement and the personnel required to perform it are distinct from that in the parent grant.

我们创建了两种独立的成年心肌细胞特异性线粒体 ATP 合酶小鼠模型 缺陷：心肌细胞特异性 ATP5L 敲除（KO）小鼠和心肌细胞特异性 ATP5J KO 小鼠。 对两种模型的分析表明，线粒体 ATP 合酶耗竭约 90% 的小鼠 在转变为致命的心脏之前，意外地在数周内保持健康和正常的心脏功能 射血分数降低（HFrEF）的失败。母基金的研究正在调查代偿性。 线粒体 ATP 合酶严重耗竭时维持心脏功能的机制 心肌细胞和最终介导向心力衰竭转变的机制，有趣的是， 鉴于传统观点认为，这似乎并不涉及心脏能量的进一步恶化。 线粒体 ATP 合成对于维持哺乳动物细胞的能量（尤其是能量）至关重要 心肌细胞等要求较高的细胞——令人惊讶的是，心肌细胞中约 10% 的正常水平 足以维持小鼠的基础健康和心脏功能。我们的结果表明，充分补充 心肌细胞在休息时不需要线粒体 ATP 合酶。这一观察结果提出了一个问题： 心肌细胞需要多少线粒体 ATP 合酶来维持心脏功能 更加严格的条件，如果没有这些条件，以前就无法解决这个问题 为了回答这个问题，有必要对小鼠施加生理应激， 增加心肌细胞的能量需求——但不会同时激活病理应激 我们选择使用异丙肾上腺素进行急性β-肾上腺素刺激，并且独立地进行急性刺激。 补充的第二个目标是加深我们对 ATP5J KO 的基线表征。 候选小鼠产生的 ATP5L KO 小鼠的基线特征已经确定。 然而，在获得父母资助后进行的研究表明，ATP5J KO 小鼠出现了。 因此，这些小鼠需要彻底的基线表征。 具体目标是： 1. 扩展心肌细胞特异性 ATP5J 敲除小鼠的基线特征。 2. 评估心肌细胞特异性 ATP5L KO 和 ATP5J KO 小鼠系对生理系的反应 增加心肌细胞能量需求的刺激本补充材料中解决的科学问题。 与母公司补助金直接相关，由此产生的信息将增强我们对 然而，补编中拟议的工作和所需的人员。 执行它与父补助金中的执行不同。
