研究方向 :细胞自噬与肿瘤

Research Field:Autophagy and Tumor

导师简介 Biography:

李冠武,男, 1999 年毕业于中国科技大学生命科学学院,获生化与分子生物学 专业理学博士学位。汕头大学医学院肿瘤分子生物开放实验室负责人, 生化与分 子生物学专业教授,具有硕士生导师、博士后合作导师资格。其课题组对于白藜 芦醇诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡、自噬有多年的研究基础, 主要研究方向为细胞自噬和凋 亡的相互联系及转换机制。已有 8 名研究生完成白藜芦醇对食管癌细胞、白血病 细胞和肺腺癌细胞自噬的研究。目前主要围绕肿瘤药物诱导细胞自噬及相关机制 的研究,研究发现细胞自噬的作用并不仅仅限于传统意义的细胞保护作用,细胞 自噬也是细胞死亡的机制之一,甚至可能是某些细胞凋亡的必经之路。作为项目 负责人,先后主持各种科研项目,包括国家自然科学基金面上项目、教育部霍英 东基金、广东省自然科学基金面上项目以及广东省科学技术厅项目等。作为导师, 指导硕士研究生累计 30 余名,在读研究生 5 名;指导本科大学生从事创新科学 研究 15 人(获得大创项目三项,其中省级两项目、国家级一项); 近五年来,在 J Cellular Physiology 、Cancer Letter、Biochemical Pharmacology 等国际学术期刊 上发表研究论文。

最近他的课题组研究发现 LC3 通过线粒体自噬及 Pink1/Parkin 通路,参与细胞自 噬和凋亡之间转换的调控。

Guanwu Li, graduated from The School of Life Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China in 1999 with a doctorate degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Now he is the Director of the Open Laboratory of Molecular Oncology, Shantou University Medical College, Professor in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, master supervisor and postdoctoral co-supervisor. The research group has

many years of research foundation on resveratrol-induced apoptosis and autophagy in tumor, and the interaction and transformation mechanism of autophagy and apoptosis.

At present, the research mainly focuses on the tumor drug-induced autophagy and related mechanisms. It has been found that autophagy is not only limited to the traditional protective effect of cells, but also one of the mechanisms of cell death, and may even be the dependent way of apoptosis in some cells.

Recently, his research group found that LC3 is involved in the regulation of the transition between autophagy and apoptosis through mitochondrial autophagy and Pink1/Parkin pathway.
