Research Interest
The A2A adenosine receptor (A2A-R) is a major target of caffeine, the most widely used psychoactive substance in the world. It is a G protein-coupled receptor. Stimulation of the A2A-R leads to activation of protein kinase A and protein kinase C. Besides the classical signal transduction pathways, novel interacting proteins (e.g., TRAX) of the A2A-R have been shown to contribute to the action of A2A-R. We and others have demonstrated that A2A-R stimulation offers protection against Huntington’s disease and ischemia-reperfusion injury of several peripheral tissues. Due to the functional importance of the A2A-R, we are actively investigating the regulation and signal transduction of the A2A-R in vivo. Specifically, we will (1) develop treatments for Huntington’s disease based on the functions and pharmacological properties of the A2A-R, (2) characterize the composition and the functional relevance of the “A2A-R signalosome” under physiological and pathological conditions, and (3) investigate the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of the A2A-R under physiological and pathological conditions. The principal objective of this research group is to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the physiological functions of A2A-R and to establish potential therapeutic treatments for HD.

咖啡因為全世界使用最廣泛用的精神興奮物質，其主要的作用標的之一為A2A腺甘酸受體(A2A-R)。A2A-R為G蛋白質連接受體, 刺激A2A R會活化PKA和PKC。刺激A2A-R可治療漢丁頓跳舞症，並保護臟器因局部缺血所造成的傷害，其相關分子機轉及基因調控仍待釐清。過去我們已成功地利用多種實驗技術來發掘A2A-R在神經細胞中的基本功能及調控。為了進一步了解在不同的組織及疾病模型中A2A-R的功能及調控，我們正全面深入探討A2A-R在保護組織及抗發炎時，所使用基因調控和訊息傳導機制。我們以兩種方式來進行研究：(1)以具組織特性的細胞株及漢丁頓舞蹈症疾病小鼠模型來研究A2A-R對細胞凋亡及神經退化疾病之療效，(2)尋找並檢驗A2A-R結合蛋白的生理及病理角色及調控，(2)詳細解析A2A-R的基因結構，並研究此基因在生理狀況下的基因調控及表現。這項研究將對A2A-R相關藥劑在臨床上的應用提供重要的分子基礎。此外，我們也利用基因體及蛋白體技術深入探討漢丁頓舞蹈症的致病機轉，期能研發出有效療法。
