Protein aggregates are emerging therapeutic targets in rare monogenic causes of cardiomyopathy and amyloid heart disease, but their role more prevalent failure syndromes remains mechanistically unexamined. We observed mis-localization desmin sarcomeric proteins to human myocardium with ischemic mouse hearts post-myocardial infarction ventricular remodeling, mimicking findings autosomal-dominant induced by R120G mutation the cognate chaperone protein, CRYAB. In both syndromes, we demonstrate...
