About the Lab

Professor Eun-Ha Kim's research lab focuses on antimicrobial resistance mechanisms in bacterial pathogens, particularly in fish and zoonotic pathogens, with an emphasis on the molecular genetics of resistance genes and their mobile genetic elements. The lab investigates host-pathogen interactions, especially in viral co-infections such as SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A, using animal models to dissect immunopathological responses. Additionally, the lab explores innate immune signaling pathways, particularly TLR-TRAF6 signaling, to understand immune regulation and its implications in sepsis and inflammation. The work integrates microbiology, virology, and immunology to address emerging infectious diseases and antibiotic resistance.

SJR Q1Science AdvancesOA

Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling is tightly controlled to protect hosts from microorganisms while simultaneously preventing uncontrolled immune responses. Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) is a critical mediator of TLR signaling, but the precise mechanism of how TRAF6 protein stability is strictly controlled still remains obscure. We show that myeloid-specific deletion of inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK), which has both inositol polyphosphate kinase activities

Inositol polyphosphate multikinase is a coactivator for serum response factor-dependent induction of immediate early genes

SJR Q1Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesOA

Inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK) is a notably pleiotropic protein. It displays both inositol phosphate kinase and phosphatidylinositol kinase catalytic activities. Noncatalytically, IPMK stabilizes the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 and acts as a transcriptional coactivator for CREB-binding protein/E1A binding protein p300 and tumor suppressor protein p53. Serum response factor (SRF) is a major transcription factor for a wide range of immediate early genes. We report that IPMK,

The Expanding Significance of Inositol Polyphosphate Multikinase as a Signaling Hub
Eunha Kim, Hyoungjoon Ahn, Min Kim, Haein Lee, Seyun Kim
SJR Q1Molecules and CellsOA

The inositol polyphosphates are a group of multifunctional signaling metabolites whose synthesis is catalyzed by a family of inositol kinases that are evolutionarily conserved from yeast to humans. Inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK) was first identified as a subunit of the arginine-responsive transcription complex in budding yeast. In addition to its role in the production of inositol tetrakis- and pentakisphosphates (IP<sub>4</sub> and IP<sub>5</sub>), IPMK also exhibits phosphatidylinos

SJR Q1STAR ProtocolsOA

Investigating intestinal immune responses is critical to understanding local and systemic immunity. However, obtaining resident intestinal immune cells with high cell viability can be challenging. Here, we provide an optimized protocol to isolate lamina propria lymphocytes from the small and large intestines, including lymphocyte activation for cytokine expression analysis and techniques for surface and intracellular antibody staining and flow cytometry. This protocol can be used for isolating a

MODULATION OF ANTIGEN-SPECIFIC IMMUNE RESPONSES BY THE ORAL ADMINISTRATION OF A TRADITIONAL MEDICINE, BO-YANG-HWAN-O-TANG

SJR Q2Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology

Bo-yang-hwan-o-tang (BHT) has long been used to treat cancer in traditional Korean medicine and is believed to have immune-modulating activity. This study investigated the effect of BHT on the induction of antigen-specific immune responses using hen egg-white lysozyme (HEL) as a model antigen system. Oral administration of BHT enhanced both HEL-specific humoral and lymphocyte proliferative responses in HEL low-responder mice. Feeding BHT to the mice increased INF-gamma levels, but did not change

GIRK2 potassium channels expressed by the AgRP neurons decrease adiposity and body weight in mice

SJR Q1PLoS BiologyOA

It is well known that the neuropeptide Y (NPY)/agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons increase appetite and decrease thermogenesis. Previous studies demonstrated that optogenetic and/or chemogenetic manipulations of NPY/AgRP neuronal activity alter food intake and/or energy expenditure (EE). However, little is known about intrinsic molecules regulating NPY/AgRP neuronal excitability to affect long-term metabolic function. Here, we found that the G protein-gated inwardly rectifying K+ (GIRK) chann

In recent years, the intricate relationship between the immune system and neurological disorders has garnered significant attention. While the central nervous system had long been perceived as immunologically privileged, emerging research has revealed complex interactions among immune cells, inflammatory mediators, and neural components that collectively influence the pathogenesis and progression of various neurological disorders.

Abstract Soybean seeds are excellent sources of tocopherols, B vitamins, and isoflavones, which are well known for their health benefits. This study investigated the influence of environment and genotype on these constituents across 13 Korean soybean varieties cultivated in three locations during the 2017–2019 growing seasons. Statistical analyses, employing both univariate and multivariate methods, revealed significant impacts of genetic and environmental factors on the composition of tocophero

전문가 협력을 통한 어린이 독서교육 프로그램 개발 및 운영 - “책수리마수리" 프로젝트의 사례를 중심으로 -

이제까지 개발된 많은 어린이 대상의 독서교육 프로그램은 사서모임이나 교사모임, 어린이책 시민단체, 연구자 집단, 독서관련 사기업, 출판업계 등 직무와 관련된 단체별로 진행되어 왔다. 따라서 개별 단체 내에서는 독서교육에 대한 성과와 노하우가 상당히 축적되고 공유되었으나, 단체 간의 상호교차적인 정보와 기술의 교환은 활발하지 못했다. 그 결과 다른 전문가 집단의 성과를 어린이 사서가 공유하고, 자신의 경험에 대해 다른 전문가 집단과 논의할 수 있는 기회가 희박했다. “책수리마수리"는 책을 매개로 어린이와 청소년을 만나는 다양한 직종의 사람들이 모여 만드는 독서교육 프로그램이다. “책수리마수리" 프로젝트가 시범적으로 이루어진 2010년의 경우, 연구자, 공공도서관 사서, 학교도서관 사서, 초등학교 교사, 그림책 작가, 코디네이터 사서가 한 팀이 되어 ‘크기'를 주제로 다양한 독서교육 프로그램을 만들었다. 전문가 협력을 통해 어린이 사서는 잘 만들어진 프로그램을 이식하는 전달자를 넘어서

1890년대~1910년대 독립 여선교사 진 페리와 엘렌 패쉬의 교육활동
김은하

본 연구는 개화기를 거쳐 일제하 1916년까지 조선에서 활동했던 진 페리 (Jean Perry)와 엘렌 패쉬(Ellen Pash)의 교육활동을 알아보고, 교육적 의의를 밝히는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이들의 활동은 사료의 부족으로 부정확한 정보가 재생산되거나 그간의 연구에서 거의 다루어지지 못하였다. 본 연구는 새로 발굴한 사료들과 진 페리의 저작 6편을 바탕으로 이들의 교육활동을 재구성하였다. 페리와 패쉬는 모두 영국 태생의 여성으로, 1896년 함께 활동을 시작하기 이전부터 각자 종교교육, 장애아교육, 여성교육, 고아원에 대한 풍부한 경험을 가지고 있었다. 이들은 독립적으로 영국복음전도회(British Evangelistic Society)를 세워 남한 최초의 맹아학교를 운영한다. 이 학교는 기숙형 학교로 버려진 아이들을 위한 고아원와 맹아들을 위한 특수교육, 맹아의 자립을 위한 실업교육, 여성 성경반을 통한 성인 문해교육 및 종교교육을 담당했다. 이 학교는 케임브리지대학교 출신인
