科研項目
我們實驗室長期以來從事分子生物學、化學生物學的研究工作。近年來的研究工作主要集中在
（1）多胺（Polyamines）以及eIF5A 蛋白因子的生物功能。（2）篩選具抗癌，消炎，抗肥腫或抗
衰老活性之天然物及小分子化合物。（3）白藜蘆醇衍生物合成及生理活性。
主要科研項目如下：
1．多胺及eIF5A 計畫：多胺的新陳代謝控制在生物體極為重要，多胺功能複雜，其調控失誤是
許多病理主因。多胺在生物體中最重要功能之一是修飾eIF5A。eIF5A 為生物界唯一含有非常氨
基酸 hypusine 之蛋白質。它存在於所有真核細胞及古老細菌之中。eIF5A 上之hypusine 是經由
DS (deoxyhypusine synthase) 蛋白酶以多胺中的精胺（spermidine）加以修飾。移除eIF5A 或抑制
其修飾會導至細胞生長停止及凋亡。本小組是最早發現eIF5A 之實驗室之一，也是首先完成純
化及克隆DS 蛋白酶工作的實驗室。目前我們以不同生物模型來研究eIF5A 功能及其作用機理。
2．篩選計畫：我們利用各種細胞測定方法（cell-based assays），基因表達測定方法（gene
expression profiling）及生物信息庫資料（bioinformatics）來發展高通量篩選流程，進行天然物及
合成化合物庫的篩選以便迅速辨識具有生物活性（包括抗癌，消炎，抗肥腫，或抗衰老）的小
分子化合物。
3．白藜蘆醇計畫：以白藜蘆醇為先導化合物，我們得到高活性的抗腫瘤化合物，目前研究其
與線粒體的可能關係及其在細胞凋亡及腫瘤細胞的誘導分化之作用機理。
4。細胞老化機理研究計畫：我們利用人體細胞研究NF-Y 轉錄因子及多胺同eIF5A 對控制細胞
老化的影響。
5。腫瘤細胞分化機理研究：特別著重研究多胺在神經節腫瘤細胞分化過程的作用，並研究多
胺衍生化合物對腫瘤細胞分化的影響。
主要學術成就
1. 我們實驗室是最早發現eIF5A 的兩個實驗室之一，是第一個發現NAD+ 在eIF5A 修飾的關鍵
功能。此發現促成我們成為最先純化並且克隆DS 蛋白酶的實驗室。我們也是第一個發現
eIF5A 可以與RNA 結合的實驗室。我們最近成功的證明eIF5A 在細胞體內與活化的核糖體
結合，是探討eIF5A 功能的一大突破。我們的eIF5A 研究連續為NIH 及美國癌症學會（ACS）
支持達20 多年。
2. 發現NF-Y 轉錄因子與細胞老化有密切關係。我們實驗室在eIF5A 及細胞老化的工作促成本
人被選為AAAS Fellow。
3. 首先發現紅茶素多酚抑制COX2 酶，具有抗癌及消炎作用。並且開發了數項高通量篩選技
術可以尋找具抗腫瘤，抗炎活性的小分子化合物。擁有三項美國國家專利局的專利。由羅
格斯大學衍生的生技公司WellGen 取得使用權。
4. 我們實驗室迄今畢業有17 位博士，20 位碩士，並訓練了15 位後博士。實驗室歷年的成員
來自世界各地，包括中國（含台灣、香港）、美國、日本、韓國、印度、德國、俄羅斯、
巴基斯坦、哥斯大黎加等國家。
