Research plan

Our laboratory focuses on the molecular biology and biochemistry of signal transduction and cellular adaptation to reactive oxygen species and other electrophiles relevant to the response of the lung to environmental pollution.

Signal transduction: In response to the types of particles in air pollution, lung macrophages generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS can cause direct cell injury. More interestingly, ROS also signal for the activation of transcription factors, which regulate cytokine production and produce inflammation in lung diseases. The underlying mechanisms involve hydrogen peroxide acting as a second messenger in multiple signaling pathways in which activation of protein kinases, reversible inactivation of protein tyrosine phosphatases, and transient elevation of intracellular free calcium concentration play key roles. The mechanisms of activation of these processes and their interactions are being pursued.

Gene regulation in antioxidant and xenobiotic defense: In response to toxicants and oxidative stress, such as in tobacco smoke, cells increase their defenses through increased synthesis of protective enzymes. These so-called Phase II enzymes include those responsible for the synthesis of glutathione (GSH), the major antioxidant in mammalian cells, which also increases. The induction of Phase II enzymes and GSH allows greater resistance to subsequent challenge by toxicants. Increased transcription, translation and mRNA stability of Phase II enzymes have been demonstrated. Our research focuses primarily on the signaling pathways that regulate transcription of the Phase II genes.
