This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837) provides $1,092,000.00 in funding to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. to conduct research focused on the intersection of the PPARG-RHOBTB1-CULLIN-3 pathway and the renin-angiotensin system in relation to blood pressure regulation, vascular function, and arterial stiffness. The 7-year project aims to elucidate the molecular and physiological mechanisms by which this pathway controls vasomotor function, arterial stiffness, and blood pressure, with a particular focus on the role of the RHOBTB1 protein and its interactions with the CUL3 E3 ligase complex. The research seeks to understand the substrates of the CUL3-RHOBTB1 complex, explore the multifunctional nature of RHOBTB1, and investigate whether the protective effects of this pathway can be therapeutically exploited. Additionally, the project will examine the dependence of hypertension in mice with selective loss of CUL3 in vascular smooth muscle cells on the renin-angiotensin system, and the role of angiotensin signaling in antagonizing the protective effects of the PPARG-RHOBTB1-CUL3 pathway.
