英文摘要
Protein kinases, as the major anti-cancer drug targets, play the central roles in tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Applicant is focused on the chemotherapy agents targeting protein kinases. His research accomplishments are described as follows. (1) It was described that BMK1 signaling pathway promotes tumorigenesis by the regulation of PML. Through kinome profiling, XMD8-92 was discovered as the first molecular inhibitor targeting BMK1 and verified in Xenograft as a candidate anticancer compound for chemotherapy (Cancer Cell, 2010). This inhibitor provided a new model of inhibitor discovery. (2) It was showed that BMK1 inhibitor impaired chemoresistance through disrupting the PML-MDM2 interaction (Oncogene, 2013). This work contributed to the improvement of cancer therapy. (3) It was found that BMK1 signaling pathway regulates tumor EMT through DEPTOR, which shed light on the mechanism of tumor metastasis (Cancer Res., 2012). (4) Through Silac phospho-proteomics, CDC25B was identified to play a central role in the regulation of Rapamycin-dependent induction of AKT signaling pathway (Cancer Res., 2009). Therefore CDC25B might be a suitable drug target for Rapamycin-dependent induction of AKT. To date, he has published 8 articles as first or corresponding author in SCI cited journals, such as Cancer Cell and Cancer Research, with the highest impact factor--26.9. In previous study, applicant found that BMK1-PML signaling pathway regulated the DNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosine modification through the recruitment of TET2. Considering the activity of most chemotherapy agents depends to a great extent on the activation of hypermethylated tumor suppressor through 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, applicant will study the regulation mechanism of DNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosine modification in chemotherapy, which will contribute to the improvement of chemotherapy.
