研究方向:轉錄調控在發育及疾病發生發展中的作用機理
多能胚胎幹細胞(pluripotent embryonic stem Cells)因其自我更新(self-renewal)及全能分化的潛力,成為再生醫學領域治療退行性疾病的基礎。如何高效安全特異地分化胚胎幹細胞成特殊的成熟細胞是當今的主要研究熱點之一,也是制約其臨床應用的主要瓶頸之一。本實驗室主要集中在轉錄延伸調控以及增強子表觀遺傳學領域來探索胚胎幹細胞維持其自我更新以及多向分化潛能的分子機理,以及轉錄延伸調控因子以及增強子突變在疾病發生發展中的作用機理。
1. 超級延伸複合物(SEC)在發育及疾病發生發展中的作用機理;
超級延伸複合物Super Elongation Complex (SEC) 調控着基因的快速協調性表達,在胚胎幹細胞定向分化中發揮着重要作用。SEC的異常激活是引起嬰幼兒白血病、HIV以及CHOP syndrome的主要原因之一。除了SEC,SEC類似複合物SEC
L2和-L3也在發育及疾病的發生發展中起到非常重要的作用。本課題将運用生化學、細胞生物學、基因組學以及表觀遺傳學手段探尋SEC及SEC
L如何差異性地調控胚胎幹細胞分化,以及它們在疾病中的特異性作用。
2. SEC相關增強子結合因子在維持胚胎幹細胞自我更新以及多向分化潛能的分子機理;
增強子(enhancer)是指一段可以通過與激活蛋白的結合增強其連鎖基因轉錄水平的DNA序列,其對于發育相關基因的時空特異性表達起到了關鍵性的作用。近年來,增強子表觀遺傳學研究表明在胚胎發育早期階段存在多種不同狀态的增強子來維持其多向分化潛能。目前對于處于暫停或失活狀态的增強子的功能尚不清楚。本課題将運用生化學、遺傳學以及基因組學手段探尋ELL3相關pioneer factors如何通過調控增強子活性和染色質可塑性來維持胚胎幹細胞自我更新和多向分化潛能的分子機理。
