Dr. Viktor Korolchuk earned his PhD in 2000 from the Institute of Biochemistry at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. During his postdoctoral training at the Universities of Bristol and Cambridge, he developed a strong interest in intracellular trafficking and degradation pathways. Since establishing his laboratory at 缅北禁地 in 2011, his research has focused on autophagy and its regulation by mTOR signalling, particularly in the context of cellular and organismal ageing. His work contributed to our understanding of the role of autophagy in maintaining protein, DNA, and organelle homeostasis, as well as its protective function as an oxidative stress response pathway.

RESEARCH FOCUS: AUTOPHAGY IN HEALTH AND DISEASE
Autophagy is a mechanism used by cells to survive periods of starvation by degrading cytoplasmic components and releasing much-needed metabolites and energy. Autophagy is a vesicular trafficking pathway in which double-membraned intracellular structures called autophagosomes are formed around portions of cytoplasm containing cellular components destined for degradation. Autophagosomes ultimately fuse with lysosomes, where autophagic substrates are degraded. The process of autophagosome formation and maturation is under tight control and is orchestrated by dedicated machinery.
Both basal and induced autophagy is an important determinants of health and longevity. Indeed, perturbations in the autophagy pathway have been recognised as a causative factor in a number of human pathologies including cancer, heart diseases, diabetes and neurodegeneration. Moreover, the ageing itself, being the most important risk factor in the development of many human diseases, has been associated with insufficient clearance of misfolded, toxic and aggregate-prone proteins via the autophagosome- and lysosome-dependent degradation mechanisms. Most excitingly, many of the treatments prolonging lifespan in model organisms are doing so in an autophagy-dependent manner indicating that efficient cellular quality control via autophagy may be the major determinant of lifespan extension.
CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS IN THE LABORATORY
1) Investigation of mechanisms controlling cellular nutrient responses
The majority of treatments prolonging healthy lifespan of laboratory animals suppress nutrient sensing pathways such as mTOR (mammalian Target Of Rapamycin) and stimulate autophagy. The elaborate network of mTOR signalling events integrates upstream signals such as binding of growth factors to plasma membrane receptors, presence of nutrients such as amino acids, glucose and various metabolites in the extracellular medium as well as the intracellular ATP/ADP ratio signifying cellular energy levels (detected by AMP-dependent kinase, AMPK). We have recently described yet another layer of mTOR control which is mediated by nutrient-imposed changes in intracellular pH. This potentially allows regulation of mTOR activity independently of nutrients and, therefore, offers an opportunity to mimic the effect of dietary restriction on lifespan/ageing through pharmaceutical means. Studying processes regulating cellular nutrient responses and extending the knowledge of their fine molecular detail will increase our chances to fight age-related diseases and ultimately to extend human lifespan.
We are currently addressing the following questions:
What receptors/transporters are involved in implementation of nutrient-dependent changes in intracellular pH?
What is the contribution of this regulatory mechanism to the overall control of mTOR by growth factors, amino acids and energy levels?
What is the potential physiological relevance of this mechanism?
2) Physiologic functions of autophagy
The prominent role of autophagy in cellular and organismal health is commonly explained by the homeostatic function. Indeed, having the capacity to dispose of the large intracellular entities, including protein aggregates and entire organelles such as defective mitochondria, autophagy is a major quality control mechanism clearing damaged and dysfunctional cellular components and thus preventing further cellular damage. However, autophagy is also perfectly positioned to serve regulatory roles. Thus, it can be hypothesised that changes in autophagic flux, induced by upstream signalling events, may lead to changes in the activity of downstream pathways by selective degradation of their regulatory components. This selective recruitment of substrates to autophagosomes can be mediated by adapter molecules such as sequestosome-1/p62, which recruits ubiquitylated proteins for selective autophagosomal degradation. We are interested in characterisation of autophagy-dependent regulatory degradative events as this could result in a conceptually novel model of the control over cellular physiology.
Among the questions that we ask here are the following:
What are the endogenous protein substrates of selective autophagy?
How are endogenous autophagy substrates targeted and recruited to autophagosomes?
How do different substrates define physiological roles of autophagy?
3) Role of autophagy in DNA damage response
One potential mechanism by which autophagy can control the rate of aging is by regulating the DNA damage response (DDR) which contributes to the cellular senescence phenotype. This is supported by the evidence that DDR proteins such as p53 and p38MAPK are shown to affect autophagic activity while autophagy may in turn regulate DDR and cellular senescence. Despite the evidence the molecular details that would explain involvement of autophagy in DDR, senescence and ageing are still largely missing.
We are using a systematic approach to study the molecular mechanisms underlying the function of autophagy in DDR and senescence. We use systems-based and experimental approaches to identify molecular links between autophagic and DDR machinery. We are testing if DDR proteins interacting with autophagosomal machinery may be targeted to autophagosome-lysosome pathway for degradation. This is achieved by the analysis of the formation and degradation of relevant DDR complexes induced by stressors such as gamma-irradiation in normal or autophagy-impaired cells. We are aiming to evaluate the relative contribution of both autophagy and the proteasome, two major cellular degradative system, to the regulation of DDR complexes. As DDR and autophagy take place in different cellular compartments (nucleus and cytoplasm, respectively), delivery of DDR machinery to cytoplasm, co-localisation with autophagosomes and subsequent degradation is being investigated by biochemical techniques as well as imaging methods such as high-resolution confocal microscopy of fixed and live specimens and by immuno-electron microscopy. Possible feedback mechanisms, whereby DDR proteins are in turn affecting autophagic activity, are also being investigated.
