Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA
Cancer Causes Control 17:525-30. 2006..Recently studies of human breast and endometrial cancers revealed that the loss and deregulation of PERIOD proteins is common in the tumor cells...
Is human hibernation possible?Cheng Chi Lee
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
Annu Rev Med 59:177-86. 2008..The recent discovery of a biomolecule, 5'-AMP, which allows nonhibernating mammals to rapidly and safely enter severe hypothermia could remove this impediment and enable the wide adoption of hypothermia as a routine clinical tool...
The circadian clock and tumor suppression by mammalian period genesCheng Chi Lee
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
Methods Enzymol 393:852-61. 2005..Genetic studies have demonstrated that many key regulators of cell cycle and growth control are also important circadian clock regulators, confirming the critical role of circadian function in organismal homeostasis...
The circadian clock: pacemaker and tumour suppressorLoning Fu
Department of Molecular and Human Genetics, Baylor College of Medicine, One Baylor Plaza, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
Nat Rev Cancer 3:350-61. 2003..Investigation of the mechanisms by which the circadian clock controls cell proliferation and other cellular functions might lead to new therapeutic targets...
Reciprocal regulation of haem biosynthesis and the circadian clock in mammalsKrista Kaasik
Department of Molecular and Human Genetics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
Nature 430:467-71. 2004..Our data show that the circadian clock and haem biosynthesis are reciprocally regulated and suggest that porphyrin-containing molecules are potential targets for therapy of circadian disorders...
Constant darkness is a circadian metabolic signal in mammalsJianfa Zhang

Nature 439:340-3. 2006..Induction of mClps expression by 5'-AMP in LD mice was reciprocally linked to blood glucose levels. Our findings uncover a circadian metabolic rhythm in mammals...
Tumor suppression and circadian functionMisty Chen Goodspeed
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA
J Biol Rhythms 22:291-8. 2007..Recent studies demonstrate that both PER1 and PER2 are involved in ATM-Chk1/Chk2 DNA damage response pathways and implicate normal circadian function as a factor in tumor suppression...

A role of erythrocytes in adenosine monophosphate initiation of hypometabolism in mammalsIsadora Susan Daniels
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA
J Biol Chem 285:20716-23. 2010..In summary, our investigations reveal that 5'-AMP mediated hypometabolism is probably triggered by reduced oxygen transport by erythrocytes initiated by uptake of 5'-AMP...
Research Grants
- MOLECULAR ROLE OF RIGUI IN MAMMALIAN CIRCADIAN PATHWAYCheng Lee; Fiscal Year: 2001..Understanding genetics and molecular basis of RIGUI function could lead to new paradigms on how genes control mammalian behavior. ..
- PATHOGENESIS STUDIES OF SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA TYPE 6Cheng Lee; Fiscal Year: 2001..The results obtained from the proposed studies will provide answers to the role of polyglutamine expansion in neuronal cell death leading to SCA6. ..
- Genetic Defects of the Mammalian Circadian clock and PreCheng Lee; Fiscal Year: 2007..In this proposal, we would like to test the hypothesis that the circadian clock is an overt clock involved in aging. Specifically we would like to understand circadian clock control of mitochondria homeostasis. ..
