We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Cam Kinase Cascade in Myeloid Differentiation/Function
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The molecular mechanisms that mediate myeloid differentiation from multipotent hematopoietic progenitors have yet to be clearly defined. The retinoic acid (RA) signaling pathway has been suggested to play a critical role in myeloid differentiation, and several direct targets for RA signaling have been recently identified. One such target, CaM Kinase Kinase alpha (CaMKKa), has been identified in our laboratory. CaMKKa shows rapid upregulation in promyelocytic MPRO cells in response to RA-induced myeloid differentiation. To further characterize the role of the CaM kinase cascade in myeloid differentiation, we have ectopically expressed a constitutively active form of CaMKKa in a myeloid cell line (32Dcl3) that differentiates into mature neutrophils in response to G-CSF. Our preliminary results suggest deregulated activation of CaMKKa disrupts proliferative and/or survival signaling mediated by G-CSF. We aim to further characterize this phenotype and investigate potential roles of CaM kinase signaling in regulating neutrophil differentiation and function. Specifically, we aim to: 1) characterize the expression of CaM kinase family members, including a recently identified granuloctye-specific CaM kinase I-like kinase, in normal and leukemic models of neutophil differentiation; 2) determine which component of the cell cycle machinery and/or pro-apoptotic pathway is disrupted by constitutive activation of CaM kinase cascade, and 3) characterize the phenotypic effect of inducible expression of constitutively active and dominant negative forms of CaM kinase family members on myeloid differentiation and functional activation. This work will both increase our understanding of the signaling pathways that control myelopoiesis, and will complete the training of the Principle Investigator, Dr. Peter Gaines, as a fully prepared independent investigator in the field of molecular hematopoiesis.
