Cellular organelles have their own function which is very important to maintain the cell survival and function. If their homeostasis were disturbed, it causes cellular dysfunction and apoptosis. The stress was not properly restored in each cell of organ, resulting in various human diseases (eg, neuron → neurodegenerative diseases, pancreatic beta cells → Diabetes, Hepatocytes → liver diseases, Macrophages → Inflammatory diseases). In our laboratory, we are pursuing the molecular mechanisms and pathology of human diseases in terms of integrated stress response (IRS) to overcome the those diseases.
Research Project
- eIF2a-dependnent gene and protein expression regulation
- Translational control in mitochondria upon mitochondrial stress in various diseases
- Mitochondrial quality control and dynamics in terms of mitophagy, fusion and fission
- Identification of the role of mitochondrial stress on mitochondrial biogenesis and beige fat differentiation
- The pathological role of mitochondrial stress on Alzheimer’s diseases and Parkinson’s diseases
- The mechanisms how ER and mitochondrial stress affect metabolic inflammation-related diseases such as liver fibrosis and insulin resistance
- The role of ER and mitochondrial stress on regeneration or differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells, iPSC
- Development of small molecules which can modulate the ER and mitochondrial stress response
Target Tissues and Human Diseases
