Research Description
Interactions between the Immune and Metabolic Systems

Our research is broadly focused on interactions between the immune and metabolic systems, an emerging field referred to as immunometabolism. We have a long-standing interest in the immunological functions of innate and innate-like lymphocytes, and we have investigated the contributions of subsets of innate-like lymphocytes to the development of obesity-associated metabolic diseases. A more recent research direction is the role of autophagy, a cellular self-eating process induced by starvation and other types of stress, in the development and function of distinct immune cells, and in the generation of metabolic disease. The long-term goal of these studies is to manipulate immune and metabolic pathways for the development of new therapies for human disease.

Innate-like lymphocytes and their contribution to metabolic disease:
The immune system contains two main arms: an innate arm and an adaptive arm. Cells of the innate immune system express germline-encoded receptors that recognize conserved molecular patterns in microbes as well as in dead or stressed host cells, whereas cells of the adaptive immune system express highly diverse antigen-specific receptors that are generated by somatic DNA recombination. Lymphocytes that belong to both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system play critical roles in regulating immune responses against pathogens, tumors, self-antigens, environmental antigens and tissue transplants.
The immune system also contains subsets of lymphocytes that cannot be easily classified as either innate or adaptive, and these cells are instead called innate-like lymphocytes or “inbetweeners”. Such lymphocytes express antigen-specific receptors characteristic of the adaptive immune system, yet their effector functions are more similar to cells of the innate immune system. Our lab focuses on two subsets of innate-like lymphocytes: invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells and regulatory B (Breg) cells.

Autophagy in metabolic disease and immune cell function:
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved nutrient sensing system that induces the degradation of cytoplasmic proteins and damaged organelles by lysosomes. The resulting degradation products are then used to generate energy and new cellular components. Autophagy involves a variety of protein complexes composed of autophagy-related gene (Atg) products that were originally identified in yeast but are largely conserved in mammals (Figure 5). Autophagy plays a role in a variety of diseases, including the metabolic syndrome. In the immune system, autophagy has been implicated in both innate and adaptive immune responses.
We have focused on a key player in autophagy, the class III phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) vacuolar protein sorting 34 (Vps34). Because Vps34-deficiency is incompatible with life, we are generating and analyzing mice with a selective Vps34-deficiency in specific cell types of the metabolic and immune systems.

Postdoctoral position in immunometabolism

The Van Kaer and Wu labs at Vanderbilt University Medical Center are recruiting a post-doctoral scholar for an NIH-funded project to study the contribution of autophagy and related cellular processes to the development and function of various cells of the immune system.

The overall goal of our research program is to explore the interactions between the immune and metabolic systems, in an emerging field called immunometabolism. In our studies, we employ a variety of genetically engineered mice with selective defects of autophagy-related factors in specific cell types of the immune or metabolic systems. We also employ a variety of mouse models of human disease, including models of multiple sclerosis, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity-associated type 2 diabetes, and myocardial infarction. Please visit our lab website for more information: https://www.vumc.org/lucvankaer-lanwu/research-focus

Candidates should have a PhD with skills in basic immunology techniques involving mouse models. Experience in cell biology, molecular biology, metabolism, and/or disease models would also be appreciated. Successful candidates will be self-motivated and have strong interpersonal and communication skills. Please send your application with a cover letter stating research interests and career goals, full CV, and contact information for three references to Dr. Van Kaer (luc.van.kaer@vumc.org).
