Abstract only Ubiquitination plays a vital role in our system in controlling vascular inflammation, cellular protein quality control, and minimizing misfolded protein toxicity. Pellino1 (Peli1), a type of E3 ubiquitin ligase, has emerged as a critical regulator of the innate immune response; however, its role in the repair and regeneration of ischemic myocardium remains to be elucidated. Materials: Cardiomyocytes isolated from Wild type (WT), cardiomyocyte-specific Peli1 overexpressed (AMPEL1Tg/+), and cardiomyocyte specific Peli1 knockout (CP1KO) mice were cultured and exposed to 6 h hypoxia, and the conditioned media (CM) collected. CMs were used to treat mouse cardiac endothelial cells (MCECs) followed by H2O2 treatment. Cells were used for Western blot, Flow cytometry, and scratch analyses. For in vivo myocardial infarction (MI) model, animals were exposed to left anterior descending artery (LAD) ligation. Animals were divided into (a) WT, (b) AMPEL1Tg/+(c) CP1KO and subjected to sham (S) and MI. Results: In vitro study documented faster wound closure and increased expression of angiogenic factors (pFlk-1, Ang-1 and VEGF) with MCECs treated with CM obtained from AMPEL1 compared to the other CM obtained from CP1KO and WT. There was no change in cardiac functions between Sham groups. AMPEL1Tg/+ MI group, showed preserved systolic functions, represented by both EF [n=12-14, p
