1.Caner signal transduction and tumor immunity

The occurrence of tumors is related to many signaling pathways. The growth of tumor cells and their responsiveness to drug treatment depend not only on the gene mutations they carry, but also on many dynamic characteristics of the tumor microenvironment. In the tumor microenvironment, the ongoing crosstalk between tumor cells and stromal and immune cells further complicates signal transduction. Various immune cells contained in the tumor microenvironment are involved in maintaining a tumor-promoting immunosuppressive environment. Monocyte-derived or tissue-resident myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment are extremely heterogeneous. The phenotypic heterogeneity and functional plasticity of macrophages are closely related to their polarization states, and macrophages in different polarization states have different gene expression profiles of cytokines/chemokines. Our research direction mainly focuses on the discovery and regulation of molecular events that play an important role in the polarization state of macrophages in the process of inflammatory response and tumor microenvironment, as well as drug screening and drug development based on immune targets, precision medicine and individualization medication evaluation.

2.JAK-STAT signal transduction pathways and gene regulation research

Our research group discovered two new threonine phosphorylation sites (hSTAT2-T387, T404) on the STAT2 molecule, which play important functions in interferon-mediated antiviral and antitumor effects. Type I interferon (I-IFN) is widely used clinically to treat tumors and viral infections, but the regulation mechanism of its curative effect and drug resistance is still not very clear. STAT2-T387A and T404A mutations can respectively enhance and down-regulate the expression of I-IFN-induced downstream genes, and positively or negatively regulate I-IFN signaling. We will study in depth the mechanism of STAT2-T387 and T404 phosphorylation regulating I-IFN signaling pathway; identify phosphokinases that mediate STAT2-T387 and T404 phosphorylation and screen their inhibitors or activators; construct mouse mSTAT2-T386A and T403A Knock-in mice to explore the effects and mechanisms of mSTAT2-T386 and T403 phosphorylation on the regulation of I-IFN-mediated anti-virus, anti-infection, anti-tumor, cell development, and immune regulation.

3.High-throughput and supercomputing drug screening and druggability research

High-throughput screening platform and efficacy evaluation system for anti-tumor drugs based on signaling pathways and molecular targets such as key tumor molecules JAK-STAT, NFkB, p53, Wnt, Notch, PD-1/PD-L1, and carry out drug screening and systematic pharmacology and pharmacodynamics research; for more than 40,000 marine natural products that have been reported and the constructed marine natural product three-dimensional structure database , establish a supercomputer virtual drug screening technology system and use it for marine innovative drug discovery and druggability research.

4.Multi-omics technology in the study of the targets and mechanism of marine natural products

The backwardness of research methods and means on drug targets and mechanisms has greatly restricted the development process of marine-derived compounds. The targets and mechanisms of action are not clear, making it impossible to convert massively isolated natural products into drug leads with clear targets. We use transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and other omics technologies, big data, protein expression and co-crystallization and other cell biology and molecular biology analysis methods to explore targets and mechanisms of marine natural products. Systematic and comprehensive research on the pharmacological effects of drugs on biological organisms, providing a standardized and streamlined research platform for the research on drug targets and mechanisms of action of marine-derived compounds.
