Core Tip This study explored the role of microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 4 (MARK4) in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). The results showed that the MARK4 level was significantly elevated in DCM mice. Down-regulation of MARK4 could alleviate myocardial injury and enhance mitochondrial autophagy function. By up-regulating UNC-51-like kinase 1, the down-regulation of MARK4 promotes mitochondrial autophagy and protects cardiac function. This study reveals the significance of MARK4 as a potential therapeutic target for DCM, providing new ideas for protecting the myocardium of diabetic patients.
