研究领域（Research Area）
Hippo 信号通路的Mst1激酶是T细胞活化，增殖和成熟的重要调节分子。本课题组主要运用转基因及条件性基因敲除与敲入小鼠模型，免疫疾病模型，流式细胞分析，和细胞培养等实验手段，研究Hippo信号通路在免疫系统调节和免疫相关疾病发生发展中的调控作用。以通讯作者在Cancer Cell、Nature Immunol、Cell Reports、Nature Commun、J Immunol等重要专业杂志发表多篇论文。
The Hippo pathway kinase Mst1, a homolog of the Drosphila tumor suppressor hippo, is a key determinant of peripheral T cell activation, proliferation and maturation. The combined deletion of Mst1 and Mst2 from the hematopoietic compartment results in the absence of all peripheral lymphocytes and a profound immunodeficiency syndrome. Our research group proposes to characterize the regulation and physiologic functions of the Hippo pathway in the immune system.
