When these stress conditions are prolonged, they are implicated in variety of diseases including the neurodegenerative disease, metabolic disease, inflammatory disease, diabetes and cancer through the stress signaling from the organelles. Thus, we are focusing on the mechanisms of intracellular organelle stress signaling and organelle quality control. In recent years, especially ER stress and mitochondrial stress are our main themes in our laboratory. Our final goal is to shed light on the treatment of organelle stress-related disease.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"green\">Research Projects<\/h3>\n<p>Stress signaling pathways from organelles<br \/>\nUnfolded proteins and disease<br \/>\nOrganelle stress and disease<br \/>\nOrganelle quality control system<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"yellow\">Lab Skills<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-613\" src=\"http:\/\/www.med.miyazaki-u.ac.jp\/home\/english\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2014\/11\/biochemistry-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\" \/><strong>Molecular Biology :<\/strong> PCR, Gene cloning, DNA sequence, Plasmid construction, et ct.<br \/>\n<strong>Biochemistry :<\/strong> Immunoprecipitation, Immunoblotting, Recombinant protein, Luciferase assay, et ct.<br \/>\n<strong>Cell Biology :<\/strong> Cell culture, Transfection, Immunocytochemistry, et ct.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"orange\">Collaborations<\/h3>\n<p>Lab. of Cell Signaling, Graduate School of pharmaceutical sciences, Univ. of Tokyo<br \/>\nLab. of Cell Regulation, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Univ. of Nagasaki<br \/>\nDept. of Stem Cell Biology and Medicine, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu Univ.<br \/>\nWhitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"red\">Publications<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-614\" src=\"http:\/\/www.med.miyazaki-u.ac.jp\/home\/english\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2014\/11\/biochemistry-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"122\" \/><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>SOD1 as a molecular switch for initiating the homeostatic ER stress response under zinc deficiency.
