心臟血管生理學

  粥狀動脈硬化症(atherosclerosis)所引起的心肌梗塞及中風高居國人十大死因前幾名。粥狀動脈硬化症主要是血中總膽固醇量超過正常值,累積在動脈壁內,引發血管長期發炎反應。若不加以控制或治療,當粥狀動脈硬化血管破裂時會形成血栓,阻塞心臟或腦部的血流,造成心肌梗塞及中風的發生。肝臟細胞脂質代謝異常、內皮細胞功能受損(endothelial dysfunction) 和大量脂肪累積在巨噬細胞(macrophages)而形成泡沫細胞(foam cells)是早期粥狀動脈硬化病變的典型病徵。本實驗室主要針對這三個重要的主題進行研究並探討其中之分子機轉,期望由臨床用藥、保建食品與中草藥中找到增進肝臟細胞、內皮細胞功能或促進巨噬細胞膽固醇清除能力的藥物或重要分子,以建立早期預防或治療粥狀動脈硬化症的策略。在過去五年中我們的確發現許多臨床用藥、保建食品與中草藥中可以提昇肝臟細胞、內皮細胞的功能及促進巨噬細胞清除胞內膽固醇的能力,以達到抑制粥狀動脈硬化病程進展的效果。此外;本實驗室目前也積極建立與神經生理疾病相關的細胞與動物模式,例如注意力缺陷過動症(attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, ADHD)、焦慮症(anxiety)與阿茲海默症(Alzheimer’s disease),並探討這些疾病可能的細胞與分子致病機轉,期望將來可以建立有效的治療策略。本實驗室以細胞培養與轉殖小鼠為研究材料並應用分子細胞生物學技術來研究上述主題。

Research area:
My areas of expertise include pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases and physiology of vascular cells. I am interested in the molecular mechanism of early-stage atherosclerosis including endothelial dysfunction and the formation of macrophage foam cells in recent years. We also investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety and Alzheimer’s disease. By use of clinical therapeutic reagents, food nutrition, and traditional herbal medicine in vitro and in vivo, my team has discovered several crucial molecules and important molecular mechanisms in treating these diseases.
