四、研究方向
以秀丽线虫为模式生物，探讨衰老的机制、相关细胞和整体效应以及相关人类疾病的机制，主要研究方向为：1）线粒体功能障碍诱导线虫抗病毒RNAi反应的分子机制，包括探讨解旋酶RAD-26/ARIP4、肌醇-多磷酸在抗病毒RNAi反应中的作用和机制以及线粒体DNA 的保养、RNAi 的激活与衰老的关系；2）探索MDT-15/NHR-45 介导的免疫反应的分子机制，包括寻找激活NHR-45 的小分子配体、构建自主激活免疫反应的合成回路、和探索MDT-15 调控转录的分子机制；3）探索线粒体应激反应的分子机制，包括控制线虫食物避免行为的肠源性信号传导、线粒体应激反应中可能存在的负面影响、以及进一步丰富线粒体突变体遗传资源。
五、主持项目情况
