项目摘要
The overarching goal of my research program is to understand the molecular mechanisms of immune
surveillance mediated by tissue-resident memory T cells that patrol the mucosal barrier of the lungs to control
infectious diseases and cancers. My laboratory is best recognized for its contributions to the cell biology and
biochemistry of MHC and MHC-like CD1d molecules. These molecules play important roles in protein and
lipid antigen presentation and, thereby, control T cell and natural killer T (NKT) cell biology, respectively. In
recent years, our research focus has turned toward harnessing what we have learnt in basic immunology to
augment immune reaction through vaccine and adjuvant design to prevent or treat microbial infections and
cancer, deathly diseases that ail humankind: We recently reported a strategy for CD8+ T cell-targeted vaccine
design to identify targets that confer protective immunity against poxvirus disease (J. Clin. Invest. 123: 1976—
1987;; 2013). Using this model, we have elucidated the mechanisms of induction, maintenance and action of
tissue resident memory (Trm) CD8+ T cells and how Trm cells impart lung/pulmonary mucosal immunity (Cell
Rep 16: 1800;; 2016). New work supported by the Research Career Scientist and the VA Merit will refine the
above strategies to devise ways to identify, characterize and develop vaccine candidates against tuberculosis.
Aims of this project are, (a) to identify T cell epitopes that will protect against pulmonary M tuberculosis
infection in a preclinical humanized mouse model;; (b) to identify globally protective epitopes that cross MHC
restriction barriers;; and (c) to characterize nanoparticle-based delivery systems for intracellular STING-
targeted adjuvant and antigen delivery. Hence, as a Research Career Scientist, I hope to identify T cell
epitopes that will protect against tuberculosis and devise ways to enhance immunological memory at the lung
mucosal surfaces by vaccinating with subunit vaccines and intracellular adjuvants. This outcome will impact
clinical management of tuberculosis as well as other respiratory infectious diseases and cancers.
My research program was developed through numerous collaborations with investigators at the VA, the
University Affiliate, the NIH, and at national and international institutions. I have published over 120 articles,
several in top-tier journals. These works have been cited over 9,700 times, and have an h-index of 48 and an
i10-index of 93. Significantly, our research has been continuously supported by federal grants over the last
20+ years and by a VA Merit Award over the last four years. In sum, I am well-poised to serve our Veterans
as a Research Career Scientist. Through this appointment, I hope to enhance research in vaccines and
vaccine delivery mechanisms that will utilize T cell epitopes. The emerging vaccines and delivery mechanisms
will enhance immunological memory at the lung mucosal surfaces through vaccination with subunit vaccines
and intracellular adjuvants to mediate protective immunity against infectious diseases and cancers.
Our Veterans are exposed to deathly infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and cancers. For example,
the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as deployment in Korea and other South Eastern countries have
contributed to the tuberculosis incidence in the US Military. A recent study identified 113 Veterans in Western
US with confirmed tuberculosis diagnosis between 2010—2013. The incidence has since risen amongst our
Veterans. Another study noted that of the 42 Veterans diagnosed with latent TB, only ~43% had initiated
treatment and only ~31% had completed the drug regimen. This foretells a grim situation as the untreated
Veteran population, especially those with latent TB infection, are potential disease transmitters;; still worse,
those that do not complete the drug regimen can raise drug-resistant strains for transmission. Hence, our
research and its outcomes will directly impact clinical practice paradigms against tuberculosis and other
respiratory infectious diseases. Thus, our research will better the lives of Veterans.
我的研究计划的总体目标是了解免疫的分子机制
由组织驻留记忆 T 细胞介导的监视,这些细胞在肺部粘膜屏障中巡逻以控制
我的实验室因其对细胞生物学和癌症的贡献而受到认可。
MHC 和类 MHC CD1d 分子的生物化学这些分子在蛋白质和蛋白质中发挥着重要作用。
脂质抗原呈递,从而分别控制 T 细胞和自然杀伤 T (NKT) 细胞生物学。
近年来,我们的研究重点已转向利用我们在基础免疫学中学到的知识来
通过疫苗和佐剂设计增强免疫反应,以预防或治疗微生物感染和
癌症,困扰人类的致命疾病:我们最近报道了 CD8+ T 细胞靶向疫苗的策略
设计以确定赋予针对痘病毒疾病的保护性免疫力的目标(J. Clin. Invest. 123:1976—
1987;;2013)。
组织驻留记忆 (Trm) CD8+ T 细胞以及 Trm 细胞如何赋予肺/肺粘膜免疫 (Cell
代表 16:1800;;2016)。由研究职业科学家和 VA 优点支持的新工作将完善
上述策略旨在设计识别、表征和开发结核病候选疫苗的方法。
该项目的目的是,(a) 确定可预防肺结核的 T 细胞表位
临床前人源化小鼠模型中的感染;(b) 识别跨 MHC 的全局保护性表位
限制性屏障;以及(c)表征细胞内 STING 的基于纳米颗粒的递送系统
因此,作为一名研究职业科学家,我希望能够识别 T 细胞。
可以预防结核病并设计增强肺部免疫记忆的方法的表位
通过使用亚单位疫苗和细胞内佐剂进行疫苗接种,会对粘膜表面产生影响。
结核病以及其他呼吸道传染病和癌症的临床管理。
我的研究计划是通过与 VA、
我在大学附属机构、NIH 以及国家和国际机构发表了 120 多篇文章。
多篇论文被引用超过 9,700 次,h 指数为 48,
i10 指数为 93。值得注意的是,我们的研究在过去一直得到联邦拨款的支持
20 多年,并在过去四年中获得了 VA 优异奖。总之,我已经做好了为我们的退伍军人服务的准备。
作为一名研究职业科学家,我希望通过这次任命加强疫苗和药物方面的研究。
将利用 T 细胞表位的疫苗递送机制。新兴疫苗和递送机制
通过亚单位疫苗接种可增强肺粘膜表面的免疫记忆
和细胞内佐剂介导针对传染病和癌症的保护性免疫。
我们的退伍军人面临致命的传染病,例如结核病和癌症。
阿富汗和伊拉克战争以及在韩国和其他东南亚国家的部署
最近的一项研究确定了西部地区 113 名退伍军人的结核病发病率。
美国在 2010 年至 2013 年间确诊患有结核病。此后,我们的发病率有所上升。
另一项研究指出,在 42 名被诊断患有潜伏性结核病的退伍军人中,只有约 43% 的人已经开始感染结核病。
治疗中,只有约 31% 完成了药物治疗,这预示着未经治疗的严峻形势。
退伍军人,特别是那些潜伏性结核感染者,是潜在的疾病传播者;更糟糕的是,
那些没有完成药物治疗的人可能会产生耐药菌株以进行传播。
研究及其结果将直接影响针对结核病和其他疾病的临床实践范式
呼吸道传染病。因此,我们的研究将改善退伍军人的生活。
