1. 凋亡细胞的吞噬及降解过程是整个细胞凋亡程序中不可缺少的一环,它在组织重塑、炎症抑制和免疫应答调控中起着重要的作用。凋亡细胞清除障碍引起诸如哮喘、类风湿性关节炎和狼疮等炎症疾病和自身免疫紊乱。

  利用秀丽隐杆线虫作为模式动物,我们综合运用遗传学、细胞生物学和生物化学等方法系统研究凋亡细胞清除的分子机制,包括凋亡信号的识别、凋亡细胞的吞噬和降解等过程。我们发现分泌型桥联分子TTR-52和NRF-5介导凋亡细胞的识别(Wang et al.,Nat Cell Biol2010; Zhang et al.,Curr Biol2012; Kang et al.,Genes & Dev2012);肌管素磷酸酶MTM-1与磷脂酰肌醇-3激酶PIKI-1和VPS-34协同调控凋亡细胞吞噬的起始和完成(Zou et al.,PLoS Genet2009; Cheng et al.,JCB2015);我们发现了多个调控凋亡细胞降解的新基因,它们在吞噬体成熟的不同阶段发挥作用(Lu et al.,Development2008; Li et al.,Development2009; Guo et al.,PNAS2010;Yin et al., JCB 2017);发现泛素化修饰对维持磷脂酰肌醇激酶VPS-34的正常功能和吞噬小体成熟的重要作用(Liu et al., JCB 2017);证明了细胞自噬通路通过VPS-34参与凋亡细胞的清除(Cheng et al.,Autophagy2013)。另外,我们还发现相同的清除机制被机体应用于非凋亡细胞的清除,如精子发生过程中产生的残余体的清除(Huang et al.,Development2012)。由于细胞凋亡及凋亡细胞清除的调控机制在进化上高度保守,我们的上述发现不仅深化了对于线虫凋亡细胞清除机制的认知,也为解析哺乳动物中相似过程的调控机制提供了重要线索。目前我们的研究专注于两个方面:1)凋亡信号磷脂酰丝氨酸选择性呈递的机制;2)进一步解析凋亡细胞降解的调控机理。

2. 溶酶体是细胞内负责物质降解和循环的细胞器,在机体发育、代谢平衡及细胞稳态维持中发挥关键作用。溶酶体功能缺陷可引发溶酶体贮积症及神经退行性疾病。

  我们在线虫中建立了溶酶体体内观察和分析体系,发现在特定的发育阶段及胁迫条件下,溶酶体发生不同的形态及动态变化,并可能发挥的特异的生理功能。利用线虫强大的遗传筛选及分析系统,结合细胞生物学及生物化学等手段,我们将首先获得调控溶酶体动态变化的基因,解析它们的作用机制,进而揭示溶酶体功能、动态变化及稳态维持的调控机制及生理功能。目前我们已发现了两个溶酶体的关键调控因子:LAAT-1(哺乳动物同源蛋白PQLC2)作为溶酶体膜上的赖氨酸和精氨酸的转运蛋白,参与调控细胞内氨基酸的动态平衡进而影响胚胎的正常生长发育(Liu et al.,Science2012);SCAV-3(哺乳动物溶酶体膜蛋白LIMP2的同源蛋白)在维持溶酶体的完整性和动态变化中起着关键作用,其功能缺陷导致溶酶体底物降解缺陷和成虫寿命显著变短,表明溶酶体的完整性对于维持线虫的正常生理功能乃至寿命都具有重要的功能(Li et al.,JCB2016)。由于溶酶体组成及调控在进化中高度保守,我们将进一步研究线虫溶酶体调控基因在哺乳动物中同源基因的作用机制,为溶酶体相关疾病的致病机制解析、诊断和治疗提供理论依据。
