    研究领域:

    实验室研究领域:脂肪是机体的重要组成成分,是细胞及机体能量与物质来源。除了作为细胞膜主要成份之外,脂类分子也参与了信号通路调节、能量储存,并影响个体生长发育及正常生理功能。脂滴是细胞储存中性脂的关键细胞器。神经、脂肪和肝脏是机体参与脂类代谢调控最重要的器官。脂类代谢也在胚胎早期发育和许多非脂肪组织功能执行中起着重要的作用。脂肪代谢异常可能导致肥胖、糖尿病、脂营养不良症、脂肪肝和动脉粥样硬化等人类重大疾病。本实验室围绕脂代谢调控”研究领域,展开“脂代谢调控与生理”“脂代谢调控与发育进化”两个方向的研究。

    主要研究内容:利用模式动物(果蝇、线虫、小鼠等)体系结合哺乳动物细胞培养系统,解析个体生长发育、衰老中,不同组织器官(脂肪组织和神经组织等)脂类的动态变化;重点研究脂类分子在机体、细胞内的产生、运输和转化及调控机制;通过阐明脂代谢与脂稳态调控的分子细胞机制,为人类脂代谢疾病的发病、致病机理研究提供线索。
        脂代谢调控与生理:脂代谢调控关键分子的发现及其调控;在细胞(及亚细胞结构)、组织和个体层面,脂代谢调控的分子机制;脂代谢调控关键分子影响生理稳态的机理。
         脂代谢调控与发育进化:脂代谢调控影响早期胚胎及组织器官发育分子细胞机理;进化中的脂代谢调控。
         脂代谢相关疾病的发病、致病机理。
    主要研究发现:利用模式动物,建立研究脂质储积和脂代谢稳态的特定组织细胞系统和分析方法(Liu et al., J Genetics Genomics 2014;Wang et al., BBA-Mol. Cell Biol. Lipids 2019),系统解析脂质代谢调控的分子机制及其所影响组织器官生长、发育、衰老的分子细胞机理。
        脂质代谢调控与发育:发现极长链脂肪酸和胆固醇稳态在精子发育过程中的重要作用(Chen et al., Hum Mol Gene 2010; Ma et al., Development 2010; Wang et al., Dev Bio 2011; Ma et al., Genetics 2012);揭示脂质代谢与生长发育协同调控的分子机制(Xiang et al., Dev Bio 2010; Liu et al., PLoS Genetics 2014; Liu et al., J Genetics Genomics 2019; Yang et al., PLoS Genetics 2019; Chen et al., EMBO Reports 2023)。
        细胞脂质储积稳态调控:发现脂肪组织发育分化中脂滴表面蛋白/脂解酶(Plin, ATGL)、基础转录因子和染色质重塑分子等在脂稳态调节的分子机制(Bi et al., J Cell Sci 2012; Wang et al., PLoS One 2012; Fan et al., PLoS Genetics 2017; Yao et al., Cell Reports 2018; Xu et al., Cell Reports 2021; Zhao et al., EMBO Reports 2022; Xu et al., Diabetes 2023);发现新脂滴蛋白SPDL1-L-Centrin调节视锥细胞脂滴定位(Pan et al., Developmental Cell 2023)。
        脂质代谢疾病分子机理解析:揭示脂营养不良症的致病基因Seipin在脂肪细胞和非脂肪细胞脂类储积调控中的作用机制(Tian et al., PLoS Genetics 2011; Bi et al., Cell Metabolism 2014; Ding et al., EMBO J 2018; Zhu et al., Life Metabolism 2022);发现神经细胞脂解在脂滴稳态维持和神经细胞退变中的作用(Yang et al., EMBO Reports 2020);发现磷脂代谢基因Cds2缺陷导致线粒体功能受损和严重非酒精性肝病(NAFLD)的分子细胞机制(Xu et al., Science Bulletin 2022)。
