新加入上海科技大學(xué)生命科學(xué)與技術(shù)學(xué)院的李夏軍研究組擬招聘一名博士后。本研究組主要研究遺傳學(xué)和表觀遺傳學(xué)，干細胞和發(fā)育生物學(xué)。我們的實驗室發(fā)現(xiàn)跟印記基因調(diào)控有關(guān)的主要因子ZFP57 (see Dev. Cell 15, 547－557)。我們第一次在哺乳動物里發(fā)現(xiàn)母本和合子的功能同時缺失導(dǎo)致胚胎死亡的現(xiàn)象。我們的論文已被引用300多次。在此基礎(chǔ)上我們研究了ZFP57在小鼠胚胎，胚胎干細胞和誘導(dǎo)干細胞里維持印記基因正常表達的作用。近來我們發(fā)現(xiàn)ZFP57母本和合子的功能也維持印記基因在心臟里的正常表達 (see PNAS 112(16): E2020-9)。ZFP57的缺失影響重要的NOTCH信號傳遞和心臟發(fā)育。希望更詳細了解我們工作的申請人請查看李夏軍實驗室在美國西奈山醫(yī)學(xué)院的網(wǎng)頁：http://icahn.mssm.edu/profiles/xiajun-john-li

Research Summary 

The Li lab is interested in epigenetic regulation in stem cells with focus on genomic imprinting. Our lab discovered Zfp57 as a master regulator in genomic imprinting. Zfp57 is a maternal-zygotic effect gene and loss of Zfp57 causes maternal-zygotic embryonic lethality, the first one identified in mammals. Recently, we found both maternal and zygotic Zfp57 modulate NOTCH signaling in cardiac development.

Genomic imprinting is absolutely essential for mammalian development. Dysregulation of genomic imprinting causes a variety of human diseases including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders. We are interested in modeling human diseases by utilizing Zfp57 mutant mice that we have generated previously. In addition, we will analyze the functions of Zfp57 in maintaining genomic imprinting in ES and iPS cells. Since genomic imprinting has been found to be unstable in these stem cells and loss of genomic imprinting will result in many human diseases, our research may lead to the strategies for derivation of ES and iPS cells with proper genomic imprinting that are suitable for future therapeutic applications.
