研究方向:胚胎干细胞 
 
1. iPS cell technology.
Human iPS cells should be useful for studying the mechanisms of somatic cell reprogramming, the generation of patient-specific stem cell lines for studying various disease mechanisms and eventual transplantation therapies. We are focusing to improve the technology to eliminate the genomic integration of the virus vector.
(1) iPS细胞技术
人类iPS细胞的建立被公认为近年最重要的科技进展之一。这项技术不仅可以从体细胞建立个体特异的多能干细胞系,解决了细胞移植治疗中的免疫排斥问题,而且为研究人类细胞的重编程的机理,研究个体特异的疾病发生机理提供了有力的方法。目前我们实验室的研究重点是改进技术,避免病毒插入基因组造成突变和成瘤,建立完全正常的iPS细胞系。并且阐明iPS细胞重编程的机理。
 
2. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) self-renew indefinitely while maintaining pluripotency. The molecular mechanism underlying hESCs self-renewal and pluripotency is poorly understood. Our lab is planning to analyze the function of different signal pathways in maintaining the stemness of human embryonic stem cells. The signal pathways we are going to check include Wnt, BMP, FGF, TGF-beta, et al.. We expect that our study will provide more information about how the stemness is maintained in human ES cells.
(2)人类胚胎干细胞/iPS细胞多能性维持及定向分化方法及机理研究
人胚胎干细胞/iPS细胞能够维持其多能性并进行自我更新。关于人胚胎干细胞/iPS细胞维持其自我更新和多能性的分子机制的认识目前还很有限。我们实验室计划研究各种信号通路在维持人类胚胎干细胞/iPS细胞的多能性方面的功能。这些信号包括Nodal/Activin, FGF和BMP等。我们的研究工作将为阐明各种信号通路对于维持人类胚胎干细胞/iPS细胞多能性的作用,从而筛选到合适的生长因子,对培养条件进行优化,为人类胚胎干细胞/iPS细胞应用在临床打下基础。同时,我们计划面向大众健康的需求,建立人类胚胎干细胞/iPS细胞向特定组织器官分化的方法。
 
3. Differentiate human embryonic stem cells into desired tissue cells. Methods should be established to differentiate human ES cells into specific lineages for transplantation therapy in the future, e.g. hematopoietic stem cells, insulin secreted pancreas beta cells, liver cells, et. al.. Our lab is planning to establish the differentiation protocol which will facilitate the study of human embryonic stem cells.
(3)人类胚胎干细胞/iPS细胞的移植治疗
人类胚胎干细胞/iPS细胞应用于临床的前提是验证其有效性和安全型。我们计划用免疫缺陷小鼠移植模型验证人类胚胎干细胞/iPS细胞分化来的组织特异细胞的有效性和安全性,将来用于病人的临床治疗。
(4)基于猪iPS细胞建立猪的遗传操作技术
基于猪iPS细胞建立基因精确修饰的转基因猪或基因敲除猪。猪是目前最理想的异种器官移植供体,基于猪iPS细胞进行基因打靶,敲除免疫原性基因,可以建立作为异种器官移植供体的基因精确修饰猪。基因精确修饰的转基因猪还可用于建立人类疾病模型、改良品系、建立抗病猪品系、开发生物反应器等。
