英文摘要
The applicant focuses on clinical and basic research of endocrine tumors. The applicant led the research team to establish endocrine tumor bank, mouse models and systematic translational research. The main studies include genetics, molecular mechanisms and therapeutic intervention of pancreatic and adrenal neuroendocrine tumors (NET). We identified the activating hotspot PRKACA mutations and elucidated the precise molecular mechanisms in adrenal Cushing's syndrome. Our systematic investigations of MEN1 functions revealed the key signaling pathway and effective targeted therapy for MEN1-mutated NETs. We identified the activating hotspot YY1 mutations in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. The applicant published 9 papers as the first author or corresponding author on high impact journals, including Science, Nat Commun (X 2), J Hepatol and Mol Cell Biol. The applicant applied for 6 patents and one has been authorized. Based on clinical cohorts, tumor bank and transgenic mouse models, the applicant will investigate the precise molecular mechanisms and targeted therapy for YY1 mutated NET. Moreover, The applicant will strengthen the endocrine tumor bank and genomic database and perform Pan-cancer analysis and clinical analysis for molecular classification and regroup of NET. Our work will contribute to novel clinical diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets.
