学术成就

主要从事对虾抗病毒和抗细菌免疫研究。对虾是我国重要的水产动物养殖种类,2021年我国对虾养殖产量超过227万吨,位居世界第一。我国对虾养殖业经历过两次重大危机,均由病害导致。第一次危机是由白斑综合征病毒(WSSV)引发,曾导致我国养殖对虾损失70%。第二次危机是弧菌等多种条件致病菌引发的细菌性疾病,曾导致全球损失23%,我国损失17%。本人针对对虾病毒和细菌性疾病开展抗病毒和抗细菌先天性免疫研究,取得了具有原创性的研究成果。

一、揭示了对虾Toll介导的抗WSSV免疫新通路,挖掘了对虾p53调控Toll通路的新机制

干扰素通路是对虾中发现的第一条抗病毒通路,本人挖掘出第二条对虾抗病毒(WSSV)途径。Toll是进化保守的模式识别受体,研究发现了WSSV特异性识别受体Toll4,阐明了Toll4通过Dorsal诱导抗脂多糖因子(ALF)家族和溶菌酶(LYZ)家族蛋白表达的调控机制,揭示了ALF和LYZ通过结合病毒囊膜蛋白发挥清除病毒功能。研究成果在病原学顶级期刊PLoS Pathogens杂志上发表,他引60次。抑癌基因p53参与肿瘤形成、免疫应答等生命过程。本人阐明了对虾p53通过与Dorsal互作调控Toll通路的新机制,首次证明无脊椎动物p53参与先天免疫。Cell综述文章“Putting p53 in Context”评述该成果,指出p53在进化上参与先天免疫调控要早于抑制肿瘤发生。

二、发现了对虾STING介导的抗弧菌免疫新途径

   病毒和细菌感染宿主过程中暴露出双链DNA能够激活先天免疫。Toll家族TLR9最早被鉴定为DNA识别受体,但不是DNA识别应答的必要条件。最新研究表明cGAS-STING通路识别病原性双链DNA启动免疫应答,是DNA激活免疫的主要途径。本人发现了对虾STING介导的抗弧菌免疫新途径,阐明了STING-IKKβ-Relish诱导抗菌肽表达的调控机制,率先证明无脊椎动物STING参与抗细菌免疫。Cell子刊Trends in Immunology综述文章“Evolutionary Origins of cGAS-STING Signaling”评述该成果,指出STING介导NF-κB途径的保守性及可能的功能演化历程将成为未来研究的重点。
