Auf eine Vielzahl verschiedenster extrazellul{\"a}rer Signale folgt jedoch eine Erh{\"o}hung desselben intrazellul{\"a}ren Botenstoffs - cAMP. Nichtsdestotrotz schafft es die Zelle, Signalspezifit{\"a}t aufrecht zu erhalten. Ein anerkanntes, wenn auch bisher unverstandenes Modell, um dieses zu erm{\"o}glichen, ist das Prinzip der Kompartimentierung. Die Zelle besitzt demnach Areale verschieden hoher cAMP-Konzentrationen, welche lokal begrenzt einzelne Signalkaskaden beeinflussen und somit eine differenzierte Signal{\"u}bertragung erm{\"o}glichen. Eine m{\"o}gliche Ursache f{\"u}r die Ausbildung solcher Bereiche geringerer cAMP- Konzentrationen (hier als Dom{\"a}nen bezeichnet), ist die hydrolytische Aktivit{\"a}t von Phosphodiesterasen (PDEs), welche als einzige Enzyme die F{\"a}higkeiten besitzen, cAMP zu degradieren. In dieser Arbeit wird der Einfluss der cAMP-Hydrolyse verschiedener PDEs auf die Gr{\"o}ße dieser Dom{\"a}nen evaluiert und mit denen der PDE4A1 verglichen, welche bereits durch unsere Arbeitsgruppe aufgrund ihrer Gr{\"o}ße als Nanodom{\"a}nen definiert wurden. Der Fokus wird dabei auf den Einfluss von kinetischen Eigenschaften der Phosphodiesterasen gelegt. So werden eine PDE mit hoher Umsatzgeschwindigkeit (PDE2A3) und eine PDE mit hoher Substrataffinit{\"a}t (PDE8A1) verglichen. Mithilfe sogenannter Linker, Abstandshaltern definierter L{\"a}nge, werden zus{\"a}tzlich die Nanodom{\"a}nen ausgemessen, um einen direkten Zusammenhang zwischen Gr{\"o}ße und kinetischer Eigenschaft anzugeben. Die Zusammenschau der Ergebnisse zeigt, dass die maximale Umsatzgeschwindigkeit der Phosphodiesterasen direkt mit der Gr{\"o}ße der Nanodom{\"a}nen korreliert. Durch den unmittelbaren Vergleich der gesamten PDE mit ihrer katalytischen Dom{\"a}ne wird zus{\"a}tzlich der Einfluss von regulatorischen Dom{\"a}nen evaluiert. Es wird gezeigt, dass diese cAMP-Gradienten modulieren k{\"o}nnen. Bei der PDE2A3 geschieht die Modulation u.a. durch Stimulation mit cGMP, welche h{\"o}chstwahrscheinlich dosisabh{\"a}ngig ist und somit graduell verl{\"a}uft. Hiermit pr{\"a}sentieren sich die Dom{\"a}nen als dynamische Bereiche, d.h. sie k{\"o}nnen in ihrer Auspr{\"a}gung reguliert werden. In dieser Arbeit wird die Hypothese best{\"a}tigt, dass Phosphodiesterasen eine wichtige Rolle in der Kompartimentierung von cAMP spielen, die Gruppe jedoch inhomogener ist, als bislang angenommen. Die Gradienten-Bildung l{\"a}sst sich nicht bei jeder Phosphodiesterase darstellen (PDE8A1). Einige Phosphodiesterasen (PDE2A3) jedoch bilden Kompartimente, die durch externe Stimuli in ihrer Gr{\"o}ße reguliert werden k{\"o}nnen. Die Arbeit legt den Grundstein zur breiteren Charakterisierung des spezifischen Einflusses weiterer PDEs auf cAMP-Kompartimentierung, welches nicht nur das Verst{\"a}ndnis der Kompartimentierungs-Strategien voranbringt, sondern auch essentiell f{\"u}r das Verst{\"a}ndnis der Pathophysiologie zahlreicher Krankheitsbilder, aber auch f{\"u}r das Verst{\"a}ndnis bereits angewandter aber auch potentiell neuer Medikamente ist.}, subject = {Cyclo-AMP}, language = {de} } @article{BankogluSchueleStopper2021, author = {Bankoglu, Ezgi Eyluel and Schuele, Carolin and Stopper, Helga}, title = {Cell survival after DNA damage in the comet assay}, series = {Archives of Toxicology}, volume = {95}, journal = {Archives of Toxicology}, number = {12}, doi = {10.1007/s00204-021-03164-3}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-265339}, pages = {3803-3813}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The comet assay is widely used in basic research, genotoxicity testing, and human biomonitoring. However, interpretation of the comet assay data might benefit from a better understanding of the future fate of a cell with DNA damage. DNA damage is in principle repairable, or if extensive, can lead to cell death. Here, we have correlated the maximally induced DNA damage with three test substances in TK6 cells with the survival of the cells. For this, we selected hydrogen peroxide (H\(_{2}\)O\(_{2}\)) as an oxidizing agent, methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) as an alkylating agent and etoposide as a topoisomerase II inhibitor. We measured cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and micronucleus frequency on the following day, in the same cell culture, which had been analyzed in the comet assay. After treatment, a concentration dependent increase in DNA damage and in the percentage of non-vital and apoptotic cells was found for each substance. Values greater than 20-30\% DNA in tail caused the death of more than 50\% of the cells, with etoposide causing slightly more cell death than H\(_{2}\)O\(_{2}\) or MMS. Despite that, cells seemed to repair of at least some DNA damage within few hours after substance removal. Overall, the reduction of DNA damage over time is due to both DNA repair and death of heavily damaged cells. We recommend that in experiments with induction of DNA damage of more than 20\% DNA in tail, survival data for the cells are provided.}, language = {en} } @article{WagnerSadekDybkovaetal.2021, author = {Wagner, Michael and Sadek, Mirna S. and Dybkova, Nataliya and Mason, Fleur E. and Klehr, Johann and Firneburg, Rebecca and Cachorro, Eleder and Richter, Kurt and Klapproth, Erik and Kuenzel, Stephan R. and Lorenz, Kristina and Heijman, Jordi and Dobrev, Dobromir and El-Armouche, Ali and Sossalla, Samuel and K{\"a}mmerer, Susanne}, title = {Cellular mechanisms of the anti-arrhythmic effect of cardiac PDE2 overexpression}, series = {International Journal of Molecular Sciences}, volume = {22}, journal = {International Journal of Molecular Sciences}, number = {9}, issn = {1422-0067}, doi = {10.3390/ijms22094816}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-285888}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Background: Phosphodiesterases (PDE) critically regulate myocardial cAMP and cGMP levels. PDE2 is stimulated by cGMP to hydrolyze cAMP, mediating a negative crosstalk between both pathways. PDE2 upregulation in heart failure contributes to desensitization to β-adrenergic overstimulation. After isoprenaline (ISO) injections, PDE2 overexpressing mice (PDE2 OE) were protected against ventricular arrhythmia. Here, we investigate the mechanisms underlying the effects of PDE2 OE on susceptibility to arrhythmias. Methods: Cellular arrhythmia, ion currents, and Ca\(^{2+}\)-sparks were assessed in ventricular cardiomyocytes from PDE2 OE and WT littermates. Results: Under basal conditions, action potential (AP) morphology were similar in PDE2 OE and WT. ISO stimulation significantly increased the incidence of afterdepolarizations and spontaneous APs in WT, which was markedly reduced in PDE2 OE. The ISO-induced increase in I\(_{CaL}\) seen in WT was prevented in PDE2 OE. Moreover, the ISO-induced, Epac- and CaMKII-dependent increase in I\(_{NaL}\) and Ca\(^{2+}\)-spark frequency was blunted in PDE2 OE, while the effect of direct Epac activation was similar in both groups. Finally, PDE2 inhibition facilitated arrhythmic events in ex vivo perfused WT hearts after reperfusion injury. Conclusion: Higher PDE2 abundance protects against ISO-induced cardiac arrhythmia by preventing the Epac- and CaMKII-mediated increases of cellular triggers. Thus, activating myocardial PDE2 may represent a novel intracellular anti-arrhythmic therapeutic strategy in HF.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Anton2021, author = {Anton, Selma}, title = {Characterization of cAMP nanodomains surrounding the human Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor using FRET-based reporters}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-19069}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-190695}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), the ubiquitous second messenger produced upon stimulation of GPCRs which couple to the stimulatory GS protein, orchestrates an array of physiological processes including cardiac function, neuronal plasticity, immune responses, cellular proliferation and apoptosis. By interacting with various effector proteins, among others protein kinase A (PKA) and exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (Epac), it triggers signaling cascades for the cellular response. Although the functional outcomes of GSPCR-activation are very diverse depending on the extracellular stimulus, they are all mediated exclusively by this single second messenger. Thus, the question arises how specificity in such responses may be attained. A hypothesis to explain signaling specificity is that cellular signaling architecture, and thus precise operation of cAMP in space and time would appear to be essential to achieve signaling specificity. Compartments with elevated cAMP levels would allow specific signal relay from receptors to effectors within a micro- or nanometer range, setting the molecular basis for signaling specificity. Although the paradigm of signaling compartmentation gains continuous recognition and is thoroughly being investigated, the molecular composition of such compartments and how they are maintained remains to be elucidated. In addition, such compartments would require very restricted diffusion of cAMP, but all direct measurements have indicated that it can diffuse in cells almost freely. In this work, we present the identification and characterize of a cAMP signaling compartment at a GSPCR. We created a F{\"o}rster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based receptor-sensor conjugate, allowing us to study cAMP dynamics in direct vicinity of the human glucagone-like peptide 1 receptor (hGLP1R). Additional targeting of analogous sensors to the plasma membrane and the cytosol enables assessment of cAMP dynamics in different subcellular regions. We compare both basal and stimulated cAMP levels and study cAMP crosstalk of different receptors. With the design of novel receptor nanorulers up to 60nm in length, which allow mapping cAMP levels in nanometer distance from the hGLP1R, we identify a cAMP nanodomain surrounding it. Further, we show that phosphodiesterases (PDEs), the only enzymes known to degrade cAMP, are decisive in constraining cAMP diffusion into the cytosol thereby maintaining a cAMP gradient. Following the discovery of this nanodomain, we sought to investigate whether downstream effectors such as PKA are present and active within the domain, additionally studying the role of A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) in targeting PKA to the receptor compartment. We demonstrate that GLP1-produced cAMP signals translate into local nanodomain-restricted PKA phosphorylation and determine that AKAP-tethering is essential for nanodomain PKA. Taken together, our results provide evidence for the existence of a dynamic, receptor associated cAMP nanodomain and give prospect for which key proteins are likely to be involved in its formation. These conditions would allow cAMP to exert its function in a spatially and temporally restricted manner, setting the basis for a cell to achieve signaling specificity. Understanding the molecular mechanism of cAMP signaling would allow modulation and thus regulation of GPCR signaling, taking advantage of it for pharmacological treatment.}, language = {en} } @article{GuthHueserRothetal.2021, author = {Guth, Sabine and H{\"u}ser, Stephanie and Roth, Angelika and Degen, Gisela and Diel, Patrick and Edlund, Karolina and Eisenbrand, Gerhard and Engel, Karl-Heinz and Epe, Bernd and Grune, Tilman and Heinz, Volker and Henle, Thomas and Humpf, Hans-Ulrich and J{\"a}ger, Henry and Joost, Hans-Georg and Kulling, Sabine E. and Lampen, Alfonso and Mally, Angela and Marchan, Rosemarie and Marko, Doris and M{\"u}hle, Eva and Nitsche, Michael A. and R{\"o}hrdanz, Elke and Stadler, Richard and van Thriel, Christoph and Vieths, Stefan and Vogel, Rudi F. and Wascher, Edmund and Watzl, Carsten and N{\"o}thlings, Ute and Hengstler, Jan G.}, title = {Contribution to the ongoing discussion on fluoride toxicity}, series = {Archives of Toxicology}, volume = {95}, journal = {Archives of Toxicology}, number = {7}, issn = {0340-5761}, doi = {10.1007/s00204-021-03072-6}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-307161}, pages = {2571-2587}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Since the addition of fluoride to drinking water in the 1940s, there have been frequent and sometimes heated discussions regarding its benefits and risks. In a recently published review, we addressed the question if current exposure levels in Europe represent a risk to human health. This review was discussed in an editorial asking why we did not calculate benchmark doses (BMD) of fluoride neurotoxicity for humans. Here, we address the question, why it is problematic to calculate BMDs based on the currently available data. Briefly, the conclusions of the available studies are not homogeneous, reporting negative as well as positive results; moreover, the positive studies lack control of confounding factors such as the influence of well-known neurotoxicants. We also discuss the limitations of several further epidemiological studies that did not meet the inclusion criteria of our review. Finally, it is important to not only focus on epidemiological studies. Rather, risk analysis should consider all available data, including epidemiological, animal, as well as in vitro studies. Despite remaining uncertainties, the totality of evidence does not support the notion that fluoride should be considered a human developmental neurotoxicant at current exposure levels in European countries.}, language = {en} } @article{BankogluStippGerberetal.2021, author = {Bankoglu, Ezgi Eyluel and Stipp, Franzisca and Gerber, Johanna and Seyfried, Florian and Heidland, August and Bahner, Udo and Stopper, Helga}, title = {Effect of cryopreservation on DNA damage and DNA repair activity in human blood samples in the comet assay}, series = {Archives of Toxicology}, volume = {95}, journal = {Archives of Toxicology}, number = {5}, doi = {10.1007/s00204-021-03012-4}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-265326}, pages = {1831-1841}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The comet assay is a commonly used method to determine DNA damage and repair activity in many types of samples. In recent years, the use of the comet assay in human biomonitoring became highly attractive due to its various modified versions, which may be useful to determine individual susceptibility in blood samples. However, in human biomonitoring studies, working with large sample numbers that are acquired over an extended time period requires some additional considerations. One of the most important issues is the storage of samples and its effect on the outcome of the comet assay. Another important question is the suitability of different blood preparations. In this study, we analysed the effect of cryopreservation on DNA damage and repair activity in human blood samples. In addition, we investigated the suitability of different blood preparations. The alkaline and FPG as well as two different types of repair comet assay and an in vitro hydrogen peroxide challenge were applied. Our results confirmed that cryopreserved blood preparations are suitable for investigating DNA damage in the alkaline and FPG comet assay in whole blood, buffy coat and PBMCs.

Rapid improvements in DNA sequencing have led to the identification of diverse rare variants with unknown significance (VUS), which underlines the importance of functional analyses. In this study, by investigating human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs), we evaluated the pathogenicity of the p.C335R sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 5 (SCN5a) variant in a large family with familial DCM and conduction disease. Methods: A four-generation family with autosomal dominant familial DCM was investigated. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed in all 16 family members. Clinical deep phenotyping, including endomyocardial biopsy, was performed. Skin biopsies from two patients and one healthy family member were used to generate human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which were then differentiated into cardiomyocytes. Patch-clamp analysis with Xenopus oocytes and iPSC-CMs were performed. Results: A SCN5a variant (c.1003T>C; p.C335R) could be detected in all family members with DCM or conduction disease. A novel truncating TTN variant (p.Ser24998LysfsTer28) could also be identified in two family members with DCM. Family members with the SCN5a variant (p.C335R) showed significantly longer PQ and QRS intervals and lower left ventricular ejection fractions (LV-EF). All four patients who received CRT-D were non-responders. Electrophysiological analysis with Xenopus oocytes showed a loss of function in SCN5a p.C335R. Na\(^+\) channel currents were also reduced in iPSC-CMs from DCM patients. Furthermore, iPSC-CM with compound heterozygosity (SCN5a p.C335R and TTNtv) showed significant dysregulation of sarcomere structures, which may be contributed to the severity of the disease and earlier onset of DCM. Conclusion: The SCN5a p.C335R variant is causing a loss of function of peak INa in patients with DCM and cardiac conduction disease.
