主要研究在生物學及藥學應用中的重要大分子的結構與功能。
一個正進行的研究方向將關注專職吞噬細胞(professional phagocytes)對調亡細胞的識別途徑。近十年大量的工作已對調亡調控的機製做了詳盡的研究。相對的,在細胞調亡后如何去除調亡的細胞殘體的問題並沒得到關注。(此問題並不是不重要)如果在此環節出現問題將造成炎症反應的異常持續和自身免疫的出現。在吞噬細胞消除調亡的細胞體的過程中,第一步反應是調亡的細胞體和處於調亡過程中的細胞表面出現如磷脂醯絲氨酸(PS)等可被各種吞噬細胞上的受體識別的發出“eat-me”信號的信號分子。研究發現這一識別過程並不僅僅是此類信號分子與吞噬細胞受體的簡單結合。實際上,一類可被其他吞噬細胞的受體識別的橋聯分子(bridging molecule)如Annexin I(Anx I)也參與了識別過程。除此,我們還將對“don’t-eat-me”信號的識別機制及溶血磷脂醯膽鹼(LPC)等。
"find-me"信號的產生和調控機制進行研究。前者存於正常細胞,保證這些非調亡的細胞不被錯誤吞噬;後者為調亡細胞所產生,是本實驗室的另一個研究目標是吞噬細胞識別和吞噬調亡細胞的信號調控的分子機制。前人在線蟲(C. elegans)的遺傳學篩選工作中發現七個基因產物分別隸屬於兩條功能上冗餘的信號轉導系統參與了清除調亡細胞體過程。其中一條信號系統為CED-2/ced-5/CED-12/CED10,這條信號系統保守的存於哺乳類中,其同源信號系統為CrkII/Dock180/ELMO/RAC,我門將從蛋白三維結構的尺度研究這條信號系統的活化和調控機制。
