186. PROGRAMMATIC DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH

187. Research collaborations at the Medical College of Wisconsin:

188. My research to date focuses on: 1) the role of mitochondrial ROS production and the Na+/H+ exchanger in cold ischemia and reperfusion injury and the potential relevance of ROS scavengers in cardiac preservation; 2) the regulation of mitochondrial ion transport (hydrogen, potassium and calcium fluxes), mitochondrial pH, membrane potential and the effects of derangement in these processes in the potential the activation mitochondrial damage and cell injury; 3) the molecular mechanisms, for example, posttranslational modification of key mitochondrial outer and inner membrane proteins critical to oxidative stress-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death.

189. I have in the years broaden my research by collaborating with faculties at the Medical College of Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Marquette University. I also have collaboration with a former mentee who is now an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University. With my strong background in mitochondrial biology, I have been able to collaborate with faculties and postdoctoral fellows who have expressed interest in incorporating mitochondria in their research. In this endeavor, I have helped faculties and postdoctoral fellows with preliminary data for grants and data for publications. Some of the preliminary data provided crucial results to test hypotheses or verify feasibility of research plans; these efforts have led to funded grants and numerous collaborative publications. The collaborations have also given me the opportunity to mentor graduate students at Marquette University and UW-Milwaukee, and to serve on dissertation committees. My level of involvement with students at MCW and beyond the campus, underscores my fervent philosophy of collaboration as the cornerstone for success in academic research. I intend to continue to use my expertise to foster further collaboration with new PIs, and to assist wherever possible, to contribute to the development of novel ideas towards grants.

190. R01 Grant 04-01-17: My research on mitochondria has entered a new phase with focus on molecular mechanisms to elucidate the etiology of mitochondrial dysfunction following oxidative/nitrosative stress. In this effort, I teamed up with Dr. Wai-Meng Kwok, Professor of Anesthesiology and Pharmacology and Toxicology and Dr. Emad Tajkhorshid Professor of Pharmacology, Biophysics and Computational Biology at The College of Medicine, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, on a 3-PI (Multiple PI mechanism) proposal to investigate the mechanisms underlying transformation of the mitochondrial voltage dependent anion channel (VDAC) between protective and lethal states during oxidative/nitrosative stress. Specifically, we postulate that phosphorylation of certain amino acid residues regulate the gating properties of the channel, its conformational structure and overall impact on mitochondrial bioenergetics and cell survival/death following oxidative stress. The proposal uses state-of-the-art techniques including gene editing (CRISPR-Cas9 to conduct knock-ins of VDAC), proteomics and molecular dynamic simulations to determine how mitochondria can transform from being protective to becoming lethal to the cell. These novel approaches will provide, hitherto, not reported mechanisms to show the role of VDAC in cell protection or death and their potential therapeutic utility against oxidative stress.

191. AHW Grant 07-01-17: The Advance Healthier Wisconsin (AHW) grant is part of the financial package that was given to our new Chair, Dr. Cynthia Lien, to expand our basic science research into the area of mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), with emphasis on mitochondria. I was selected to lead this initiative (PI), because of my expertise and strong track record in mitochondrial biology. In this effort, I work with three other faculty members, all of whom are essential to the success of this initiative. These faculty members are Dr. Wai-Meng Kwok, an expert in ion channel electrophysiology, Dr. Christopher Pawela, Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, an expert in brain imaging, and Dr. Bin Pan, an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, an expert in neuro-electrophysiology at the tissue level. Our team of investigators, with complementary skills, is poised to lead this research to a new frontier in better understanding the manifestation of mTBI and its impact on the health of individuals afflicted with the disease. The project title is: "Identifying molecular mechanisms underlying TBI-a path to novel therapeutic opportunities". The progression of molecular changes following mTBI leads to multiple physiological changes including mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal degeneration. Despite the tremendous effort invested on TBI research, the ability to mitigate chronic neurological deficits in TBI patients remains limited. The objective of this proposal is to unravel the underlying molecular mechanisms that are the underpinnings of mTBI. To accomplish this task, we will use an integrative multiscale (top-down) hierarchical approach, which involves brain imaging, electrophysiology at the tissue and mitochondria level, and mitochondrial bioenergetics and other functions. We will also use the latest proteomic approaches that may shed some new insights into how trauma impacts mitochondrial function based on its effect on specific mitochondrial proteins critical in bioenergetics. My overarching goal for this initiative, as a PI, is to create an environment that would spur further collaboration amongst faculties in our department, and to work together to submit multiple R01 proposals, based on complementary skills.

192. PPG 03/01/15-02/28/20 Dr. Zeljko Bosnjak, Program Project Grant; Projector Director. I play a crucial role in the current PPG. My role is to coordinate the experiments in Project III. The project has both experimental (Dr. Camara) part and computational modeling (Dr. Ranjan Dash) component. I have worked very closely with Dr. Ranjan Dash, Associate Professor Marquette University-MCW BME program; we both contribute equally towards the project. My lab provided important preliminary data for Project III that was needed for computational modeling and for the success of the project. There are two postdoctoral fellows, one experimentalist and the other a computational biologist who responsible for the bulk of work proposed in the PPG. The experimental part of the project relies heavily on role of mitochondria in cardiac function during exposure to volatile anesthetics, and the potential impact of type II diabetes in impeding volatile anesthetic-mediated protection against ischemia and reperfusion injury. A substantial progress in this project has been the work I supervise in the experimental component of the PPG.

193. Other collaborations

194. Marquette University & Medical College of Wisconsin Department of Biomedical Engineering: I continue to pursue my interest in understanding the biophysical changes that contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction in ischemia and reperfusion injury. In the past five years, I have collaborated with Dr. Ranjan Dash (computational biologist), to study mitochondrial function in normal and in diseased heart. Our goal is to understand the biophysical and biochemical factors involved in mitochondrial handling of pH, cations, and reactive oxygen (ROS) in cardiomyocytes using experimental and computational modeling approaches to provide a unique perspective in this dynamic process. Our studies have also focused on understanding how these biophysical and biochemical factors individually and collectively influence and modulate mitochondrial function. This research objective was the basis of our recently completed multiple (2-PI) R01 proposal (NIH-NHLBI HL095122; 2010-2015). We are currently working on a new proposal, an extension of this proposal based on our continued iterative experimental-computational strategy, to understand how mitochondria Ca2+ buffering is central in the cross-talk between mitochondrial Ca2+ and ROS under normal and oxidative stress conditions.

195. Department of Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Medical College of Wisconsin: I have worked with Dr. Elizabeth Jacobs on several of her grants, which are designed to establish the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in ischemia and reperfusion injuries and diagnose these injuries using novel minimally invasive techniques based upon deranged mitochondrial function. With novel means to detect apoptosis and redox injury in vivo, the proposed studies examined correlations between altered mitochondrial bioenergetics, severity of changes to lung structure or function and the potential of imaging methods to track these injuries. I have assisted in data interpretation and My collaboration contributed to the recently expired funded grants: a VA Merit grant (IBX001681A) and NIH R01 (R01 HL116530). My collaboration with Dr. Jacobs continues on her VA Merit grant which has just been resubmitted for review. This grant is entitled Role of mitochondrial dysfunction in hyperoxia-induced pulmonary vascular endothelial injury". If funded, my major scientific role in this project will be to provide oversight in the acquisition and interpretation of data regarding mitochondrial function. I also have experience with optical imaging to determine the redox state of tissues, a crucial approach in this study. As noted above, Dr. Jacobs and I have worked on separate projects. One of our articles has recently been published in the journal Shock, entitled: Protection by Inhaled Hydrogen Therapy in a Rat Model of Acute Lung Injury can be Tracked in vivo Using Molecular Imaging (PMID: 28915216).

196. Department of Medicine and Physiology: I collaborate with Dr. Andre Sorokin, Professor of Medicine and Physiology, on the role of mitochondrial p66shc transgenic rats in ischemia and reperfusion injury. The transgenic rats showing KO of p66shc or telomerase are generated using ZFN, TALEN and CRISPR-Cas9 site directed nuclease technologies under by Dr. Aron Geurts Director of MCW Rat Transgenic Facility. We have shown that use of the p66shc KO rats recapitulates the cardioprotection we observed when p66shc translocation to mitochondria was inhibited (PLoS One 9 (12):e113534, 2014 PMID: 25436907). Use of these transgenic animal models in addition to use of targeted pharmacological agents could provide us the opportunity to explore novel mechanisms for understanding mitochondrial-mediated cell death or apoptosis. We have acquired enough data from recent experiments using the transgenic rats in ischemia and reperfusion studies to write a manuscript or be used as preliminary data for a potential grant.

197. I have worked with Dr. Andreas Beyer, Assistant Professor of Medicine and Physiology, on numerous projects, and I also helped train his postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Karima Ait-Aissa, on her work the contributing role of mitochondria in the etiology of human coronary artery disease. Some of the studies conducted in my lab were and/or will be presented at national meetings (e.g. "Increased mitochondrial DNA damage results in loss of complex IV catalytic subunit expression with elevated levels of mitochondrial fission/fusion markers in Coronary artery disease"). Dr. Ait-Aissa also recently submitted a Scientist Development Grant to the AHA. Her grant had a decent score, but was not enough for funding. I have also worked closely with Dr. Beyer on his mitochondria telomerase knock out rats and their susceptibility to ischemia and reperfusion injury. Our collaboration on these projects has led to several pending publications (e.g. Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation defect in the Heart of Subjects with Coronary Artery Disease submitted to J. American Heart Association, 2018) and preliminary data for potential collaborative grant proposals.

198. Department of Surgery: I collaborate with Dr. Johnny Hong, the Chief Division of Transplant Surgery, Froedtert Hospital and Medical College of Wisconsin, and his team of surgeons looking at mitochondria function following liver ischemia and ischemia and reperfusion. Specifically, Dr. Hong's team is interested in optimizing preservation solutions for organ storage before transplant, with minimal impact on mitochondrial functional integrity. Their objectives include the potential beneficial effects of the "ideal preservation solution" on protecting mitochondrial function that would in turn provide better preservation of livers for transplant. This work is akin to several of my earlier studies where I showed that hypothermia even though protects against cardiac ischemia and reperfusion injury, it also leads to deleterious reactive oxygen species production from mitochondria (see Bibliography #27 and #41). Therefore, creating the ideal preservation solutions with minimal impact on mitochondria function is desirable. My role in Dr. Hong's project is to advise our research team on the design of protocols for mitochondrial studies, and to aid in interpretation of the results. An abstract on our novel findings is submitted to the Experimental Biology conference, entitled Mitochondrial Function in Swine Liver Procured after Cardiac Death, scheduled to take place in April. Some preliminary data from the mitochondrial studies will be used in conjunction with other data for submission of an AHW grant proposal.

199. Blood Research Institute/Comprehensive Center for Bleeding Disorders: I collaborate with Dr. Shawn Jobe. Both Dr. Jobe and I are currently interested in how cyclophilin D (CypD) and the mitochondrial calcium uniporter function to regulate mitochondrial calcium entry in the setting of necrosis and apoptosis. My lab has extensive experience in the detailed analysis of cytosolic and mitochondrial calcium fluxes in cardiomyocytes and we have recently utilized CypD null mice provided by Dr. Jobe's lab to address a novel question regarding better understanding of mitochondrial Ca2+ handling in normal and pathophysiological conditions. I am a co-investigator on Dr. Jobe's recent R01 submission. I continue to provide him assistance in investigating the role of mitochondrial calcium dynamics (influx and efflux) in the regulation of platelet activation. The title of his R01 grant proposal is: "Procoagulant platelet mechanisms and function".

200. Research collaborations at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee:

201. University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Department of Engineering: I have recently embarked on research collaboration with Dr. Masha Ranji, Founder and Director of the UW-Milwaukee Biophotonics Lab, and Associate Professor of Engineering at UW-Milwaukee, Department of Engineering. Dr. Ranji is an expert in optical imaging and image processing of tissue metabolism, especially in the 3-D model. We have used this novel approach to show for the first time a 3-D view of mitochondrial bioenergetics, ROS production and cellular and mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis in the ex vivo perfused heart. This approach shows for the first time a 3-D heterogeneous distribution of mitochondrial redox state in the heart during ischemia and reperfusion injury. This work has been published in recently in IEEE J Transl Eng Health Med entitled "Optical Cryo-imaging Reveals a Heterogeneous Distribution of Mitochondrial Redox State in ex vivo Guinea Pig Hearts and its Alteration during Ischemia and Reperfusion" (PMID: 27574574), and it was recognized for its novelty and was the Editor's pick for that publication issue. In a recent ongoing project in collaboration with Dr. Meetha Medhora Professor in the Department of Pulmonary Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin, we have used similar cryoimaging to assess the impact of whole thorax low dose irradiation versus whole body irradiation on cardiac function and mitochondrial redox state in rats before and after cardiac ischemia and reperfusion injury. This work has been published in J. Biomed Opt entitled: Optical metabolic imaging of irradiated rat heart exposed to ischemia-reperfusion injury (PMID: 29352564). Dr. Ranji and I continue to work together on other projects, including the lungs and kidney. We have recently submitted a multiple PI Letter of intent (Grant title: Investigating metabolism and vascular dysfunction in cardiovascular ischemia reperfusion injury) to an American Heart Association RFA on a Multidisciplinary research broadly related to cardiovascular function, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. I have also served, and continue to serve, as a mentor and an adviser to her postdoctoral and pre-doctoral students (see list of students mentored above). An R15 grant was recently submitted based on our collaborative effort. The grant is titled: "Predicting cardiovascular ischemic injury propagation border zone using optical imaging and computational modeling".

202. Department of Biological Science Marquette University: I am working with Dr. Robert Fitts an Emeritus Professor of Biology on understanding how moderate level of exercise impacts the heart and protects against ischemic stress. Specifically, this project seeks to elucidate the role of calcium homeostasis during exercise, from the organismic level to the mitochondria associated membrane region of the cell in the protection against ischemia and reperfusion-mediated injury. We have submitted a multiple PI grant titled "Exercise-Training Induced Protective Mechanisms in the Stressed Heart" in this collaborative partner.
