Potential Rotation Projects Proteostasis regulators, HSF1, HSP70 and HSP90 in liver disease: Determine the expression and function in different cell types of the liver during acute and chronic liver injury using in vivo and in vitro models. Subsequently, we will test the relevance of the expression of these proteins in activation of intracellular signaling molecules involved in induction of fatty liver, inflammation and fibrosis. Role of chemokines in liver disease: CC-chemokines particularly CCL2/MCP-1, is significantly increased in serum as well as in the liver parenchyma in patients with alcoholic hepatitis. We test the role of MCP-1 in induction of fatty acid synthesis or metabolism and inflammation in the alcoholic liver. Our studies will also investigate the role of MCP-1 directed migration of immune cells in the liver contributing to injury.

Immediate opening! Two postdoctoral positions are available immediately to study cellular andmolecular mechanisms resulting in immunosuppression after alcohol use. Thefocus of this research is the role of monocytes and dendritic cells indecreased antigen-specific T cell activation after alcohol use.Intracellular signalling mechanisms resulting in decreased NF-kBactivation and inflammatory cytokine induction after acute alcoholconsumption are being investigated. Please contact Dr. Szabo for details.
