研究方向研究室特色

表觀遺傳調控是除了DNA序列變異之外,導致腫瘤細胞基因表現異常的重要機制,其影響往往涉及全面性的基因表現圖譜變化。因此,了解表觀遺傳因子調控是癌症生物學研究的重要課題。另一方面,細胞代謝除了藉由合成及分解生物分子並維持能量平衡,進而維持細胞的生理功能與生長,近年更被發現其扮演影響表觀遺傳調控的重要角色。本實驗室的研究興趣在探討表觀遺傳因子及細胞代謝如何影響前列腺癌細胞的基因表現,進而導致癌細胞的惡性發展及對藥物的抗藥性。探討前列腺腫瘤發生的分子機制,可對開發癌症治療策略提供重要基礎。我們目前的研究主題包括:

  1. 雄性激素受體(AR)基因表現及其剪接變異體的表觀遺傳學調控機制及治療策略。持續性活化態的AR剪接變異體在臨床上與抗藥性具有強烈關聯,透過了解其分子機制了解組蛋白修飾酶如何影響AR基因表現及剪接作用,進而評估用於前列腺癌治療的新型治療藥物,是我們實驗室與外部合作者的主題之一。目標為開發晚期前列腺癌治療的新型治療策略。其中,利用誘導型蛋白降解藥物的開發,降低癌細胞內AR及AR變異體的表現是研究主軸。
  2. 細胞代謝與表觀遺傳調控在前列腺癌細胞中的交互作用。由於細胞代謝與表觀遺傳調控密切相關,因此在許多方面細胞代謝的異常影響腫瘤細胞內整體基因的表現。因此,我們有興趣了解抗藥性前列腺癌的細胞代謝變化,同時探討癌細胞中代謝酵素轉位至細胞核內的分子機制與生物意義,以及細胞核內代謝酵素與表觀遺傳調控之間的關聯。
  3. 腫瘤微環境中間質幹細胞和癌細胞之間的相互作用。由於腫瘤組織內存在許多細胞種類,例如間質幹細胞及免疫細胞,細胞間的交互作用影響癌細胞的特性,是腫瘤惡化的原因之一。我們有興趣了解間質幹細胞如何通過細胞外泌體與癌細胞交互作用,進而影響癌細胞的分化、轉移及抗藥性的產生。
