Project Title:Expression and function of NAP79 during brain development.
Investigator(s):Chan SY, Yick LW
Department:Paediatrics & Adolescent Medicine
Source(s) of Funding:Seed Funding Programme for Basic Research
Start Date:03/2005
Abstract:
Background:Our group has identified a novel 79 kDa nucleosome assembly protein, NAP79, from human heart cDNAs. We have generated transgenic lines of mice expressing human NAP79 in the heart and brain. Nucleosome assembly proteins (NAPs) deposit histones onto DNA, which is important in nucleosome remodelling during DNA replication and gene transcription, and in controlling mitotic events. A role of NAPs in inhibiting cell proliferation is demonstrated by the inactivation of NAP1-like-2 in mice, which leads to an opened neural tube, and exposed brain. These defects are associated with overproduction of neuronal precursor cells. A few months ago, NAP79 is found to form a complex with CASK and Tbr-1 to modulate the expression of NMDA receptor subunit 2B (NR2b) in cultured hippocampal neurons. NAP79 encodes a novel protein containing a conserved NAP domain, potential phosphorylation sites for casein kinase II, cyclin-dependent kinases, and cAMP- and cGMP-dependent kinases. During postnatal development, we have found that NAP79 expression in cardiomyocytes changes as they exit from the cell cycle. Furthermore, NAP79 arrests cell proliferation when transfected into HeLa cells or yeast. These data suggest that NAP79 plays a role in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of cardiomyocytes. Also, our northern and western blot data has shown that NAP79 is highly expressed in the adult brain but not in other organs. Like the heart, the adult brain consists mostly of non-dividing post-mitotic cells. Objectives:We hypothesize that (1) NAP79 is essential for switching off cell proliferation during brain development; and/or (2) NAP79 controls brain function through controlling the expression of specific target genes. In this proposal we seek to investigate the expression and function of NAP79 during the development of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). We shall also characterize the cell types expressing human NAP79 in the transgenic mouse brain. For elucidation of gene function, phenotype analysis of the NAP79 transgenic animals including expression of target genes (eg. NR2b), behavioural, learning and memory test will form the basis of a new RGC proposal.

Project Title:Prospective study of virologic and immunologic parameters of primary Epstein-Barr virus infection in Chinese children
Investigator(s):Chiang AKS, Chan KH
Department:Paediatrics & Adolescent Medicine
Source(s) of Funding:Merit Award for RGC CERG Funded Projects
Start Date:10/2003
Abstract:
An unresolved issue in EBV immunology concerns the relationship between clinical IM-like symtoms, virus DNA load and CD8+ T cell lymphocytosis; Acute IM in adolescents is associated with large expansions of EBV lytic epitope reactivities which are followed by a later expansion of latent epitope responses. The magnitude of the EBV lytic and latent epitope reactivities would be studied and compared in both IM and non-IM patients; likewise, is there a difference in the rate of emergence of latent epitope responses bewteen the IM and non -IM patients? The kinetics and evolution of the EBV epitope-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses from primary to persistent phases of EBV infection would be compared between the two groups of children.

Project Title:Mechanism of HIV suppression of cytokine expression: Tat and PKR interactions
Investigator(s):Lau ASY, Peiris JSM
Department:Paediatrics & Adolescent Medicine
Source(s) of Funding:Competitive Earmarked Research Grants (CERG)
Start Date:10/2002
Abstract:
The study is to examine the role of PKR in controlling the expression of IFN and other proinflammatory cytokines, and to identify the transcription factor(s) regulated by PKR. The project will then investigate whether HIV Tat is responsible for the suppression of PKR and downregulation of cytokine response, thus leading to a permissive environment for opportunistic viral infections.

Abstract:
To examine the profile of cytokine expression including proinflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines in BCG and mycobacterial cell wall subunits-treated cells; to confirm the role of PKR and related kinases in signaling pathways operative in the BCG- and cell wall subunit-induced cytokine expression; to examine the role of IL-10 in inhibition of IFN signaling and macrophage functions; to examine whether IL-10 induces the expression of SOCS to inhibit IFN-gamma signaling; to delineate whether exogenous IFN-gamma and other TH1 cytokines can modulate and reverse the effects of BCG and IL-10 in SOCS induction and restore the effects of IFN-gamma macrophage function.
