研究成果展示

Cancer is a leading cause of human death. Cancer arises when somatic mutations override intracellular and immunological control of cell proliferation. The ultimate goal of my laboratory research is to exploit the vulnerability of cancer and develop novel therapeutics stopping the uncontrolled growth and spreading of cancer cells. Our therapeutic development is built upon my 20 years of research expertise in the biology of the Cullin Ring Ligase 4 (CRL4) ubiquitin ligase, particularly CRL4^CRBN, and its application to targeted protein degradation. We have designed CRBN-engaging chemical libraries and screened for novel molecular glue-type degraders of cancer-driving oncoproteins, thus providing a new discovery modality to expand current oncology drug pipelines. Meanwhile, we have developed mouse models to investigate the mechanism underlying the anti-tumor immunity of lenalidomide and its analogues, which have recently been established as molecular glues to redirect CRBN for their clinical effectiveness. Our early success in this field has led us to examine genetic mutations that control cancer sensitivity to T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Using customized CRISPR-Cas9 library screening in various tumor models, we have identified several pathways that modulate tumor growth by regulating tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, in a manner dependent or independent on the PD-1 immune checkpoint. Given the interdisciplinary and translational nature of our work, we closely collaborate with synthetic and medicinal chemists as well as computational and structural biologists.

本实验室近年来上发表了一系列CRL4 泛素连接酶通过对不同底物的泛素化从而调控发育和疾病，同时阐明CRL4 其本身被激活的机制。特别是基于CRL4底物受体蛋白CRBN的研究，起始了实验室用新型分子胶水化合物降解癌症相关蛋白降解的探索。可扫下面二维码进入介绍实验室分子胶水研究的科普讲座。
