Due to its particular geographic position at the border between scandinavian, middle european and continental european floral elements, R{\"u}gen harbours several hawkweed species (Hieracia) of the scandinavian area such as Hieracium fuscocinererum, H. subramosum, H. subrigidum and H. diaphanoides subsp. neoornatum and, at the same time, is the most northwestern location of H. echioides. Two endemic Hieracium species have been identified recently, i. e. H. muorum subsp. rugianum and H. caesium subsp. zabelianum (Gottschlich et al. 1998, Bot. Rundbr. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 31:1-94). In the present communication, two further novel endemic Hieracium taxa will be described, which are restricted to the chalk cliffs of Cape Arkona and Jasmund, i. e. H. swantevitii and H. lachenalii subsp. litocretaceum. H. swantevitii (Swantevit's hawkweed) is intermediate between H. caesium/H. bifidum and H. lachenalii with hairy, modestly glandular involucre and slightly serrated elongated leaves . This view of an intermediate position of H. swantevitii between these species was further supported by the ultrastructure of epidermal papillae of the outer bracts of the involucre visualized by scanning electron microscopy. H. lachenalii subsp. litocretaceum (chalk cliff hawkweed) is characterized by its narrow anguste to almost linear denticulate leaves in combination with mode rately glandular heads. In addition to the description of these two new hawkweed taxa , the rediscovery of three further species will be reported for R{\"u}gen, i. e. H. echioides (W. Gager in SE R{\"u}gen), H. cymosum subsp. cymosum (close to G{\"o}hren in SE R{\"u}gen) and H. subrigidum E Glowe in N R{\"u}gen. The locality of H. echioides appears to be most north-western site in middle Europe, the locality of H. cymosum is one of the last growth sites in the northern German lowlands and H. subrigidum (so far only known as a single herbarium specimen, collected 1858 in R{\"u}gen) has so far not been recorded in other localities of middle Europe.}, subject = {Habichtskraut}, language = {de} } @article{RockelWagnerSpengeretal.2023, author = {Rockel, Anna F. and Wagner, Nicole and Spenger, Peter and Erg{\"u}n, S{\"u}leyman and W{\"o}rsd{\"o}rfer, Philipp}, title = {Neuro-mesodermal assembloids recapitulate aspects of peripheral nervous system development \(in\) \(vitro\)}, series = {Stem Cell Reports}, volume = {18}, journal = {Stem Cell Reports}, number = {5}, issn = {2213-6711}, doi = {10.1016/j.stemcr.2023.03.012}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-349925}, pages = {1155-1165}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Summary Here we describe a novel neuro-mesodermal assembloid model that recapitulates aspects of peripheral nervous system (PNS) development such as neural crest cell (NCC) induction, migration, and sensory as well as sympathetic ganglion formation. The ganglia send projections to the mesodermal as well as neural compartment. Axons in the mesodermal part are associated with Schwann cells. In addition, peripheral ganglia and nerve fibers interact with a co-developing vascular plexus, forming a neurovascular niche. Finally, developing sensory ganglia show response to capsaicin indicating their functionality. The presented assembloid model could help to uncover mechanisms of human NCC induction, delamination, migration, and PNS development. Moreover, the model could be used for toxicity screenings or drug testing. The co-development of mesodermal and neuroectodermal tissues and a vascular plexus along with a PNS allows us to investigate the crosstalk between neuroectoderm and mesoderm and between peripheral neurons/neuroblasts and endothelial cells.

Accumulation of neurofilaments has been observed in several forms of neurodegenerative diseases, but the mechanisms how elevated neurofilament levels destabilize axons are unknown so far. Here, we show that increased neurofilament expression in motor nerves of pmn mutant mice, a model of motoneuron disease, causes disturbed microtubule dynamics. The disease is caused by a point mutation in the tubulin-specific chaperone E (Tbce) gene, leading to an exchange of the most C-terminal amino acid tryptophan to glycine. As a consequence, the TBCE protein becomes instable which then results in destabilization of axonal microtubules and defects in axonal transport, in particular in motoneurons. Depletion of neurofilament increases the number and regrowth of microtubules in pmn mutant motoneurons and restores axon elongation. This effect is mediated by interaction of neurofilament with the stathmin complex. Accumulating neurofilaments associate with stathmin in axons of pmn mutant motoneurons. Depletion of neurofilament by Nefl knockout increases Stat3-stathmin interaction and stabilizes the microtubules in pmn mutant motoneurons. Consequently, counteracting enhanced neurofilament expression improves axonal maintenance and prolongs survival of pmn mutant mice. We propose that this mechanism could also be relevant for other neurodegenerative diseases in which neurofilament accumulation and loss of microtubules are prominent features.}, language = {en} } @article{KutateladzeAxelrodGorboulevetal.1979, author = {Kutateladze, T.

Although the conditions of electrophoresis for this purpose have previously been suggested. we have found that polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at 5000 V (100 V/cm) is possible and effective. An apparatus consisting of a horizontal thermostated plate is used to remove the heat which was formed during the electrophoretic process. The techniques for loading samples on the horizontal thin gel and the procedure for high-voltage gel electrophoresis are described and illustrated by the fractionation of the spleen phosphodiesterase partial digest of tRNA¥~1 as well as by the RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase from E. coli with poly[d(A- T)j as template in the presence of "terminator," 3'-O-methyluridine 5'-triphosphate. This same technique was used for electrophoresis of oligonucleotides on acetylcellulose and was incorporated into a two-dimensional system which was demonstrated by fingerprinting of the guanylo-RNase digest of tRNAT'P from baker's yeast.

MS commonly affects the cerebellum causing acute and chronic symptoms. Cerebellar signs significantly contribute to clinical disability, and symptoms such as tremor, ataxia, and dysarthria are difficult to treat. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) are involved in demyelinating pathologies such as MS. In autopsy tissue from patients with MS, increased expression of FGF1, FGF2, FGF9, and FGFR1 was found in lesion areas. Recent research using mouse models has focused on regions such as the spinal cord, and data on the expression of FGF/FGFR in the cerebellum are not available. In recent EAE studies, we detected that oligodendrocyte-specific deletion of FGFRs results in a milder disease course, less cellular infiltrates, and reduced neurodegeneration in the spinal cord. The objective of this study was to characterize the role of FGFR1 in oligodendrocytes in the cerebellum. Conditional deletion of FGFR1 in oligodendrocytes (Fgfr1\(^{ind-/-}\) was achieved by tamoxifen application, EAE was induced using the MOG\(_{35-55}\) peptide. The cerebellum was analyzed by histology, immunohistochemistry, and western blot. At day 62 p.i., Fgfr1\(^{ind-/-}\) mice showed less myelin and axonal degeneration compared to FGFR1-competent mice. Infiltration of CD3(+) T cells, Mac3(+) cells, B220(+) B cells and IgG(+) plasma cells in cerebellar white matter lesions (WML) was less in Fgfr1\(^{ind-/-}\)mice. There were no effects on the number of OPC or mature oligodendrocytes in white matter lesion (WML). Expression of FGF2 and FGF9 associated with less myelin and axonal degeneration, and of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and CD200 was downregulated in Fgfr1\(^{ind-/-}\) mice. The FGF/FGFR signaling protein pAkt, BDNF, and TrkB were increased in Fgfr1\(^{ind-/-}\) mice.

Oligodendrocyte-specific knockout of FGFR2 (Fgfr2\(^{ind-/-}\)) was achieved by application of tamoxifen; EAE was induced using the MOG\(_{35-55}\) peptide. EAE symptoms were monitored over 62 days.

The number of oligodendrocytes was not affected in demyelinated areas. However, protein expression of FGFR2, FGF2 and FGF9 was downregulated in Fgfr2\(^{ind-/-}\) mice. FGF/FGFR dependent signalling proteins were differentially regulated; pAkt was upregulated and pERK was downregulated in Fgfr2\(^{ind-/-}\) mice. The number of CD3(+) T cells, Mac3(+) cells and B220(+) B cells was less in demyelinated lesions of Fgfr2\(^{ind-/-}\) mice. Furthermore, expression of IL-1β, TNF-α and CD200 was less in Fgfr2\(^{ind-/-}\) mice than controls. Fgfr2ind-/- mice showed an upregulation of PLP and downregulation of the remyelination inhibitors SEMA3A and TGF-β expression. These data suggest that cell-specific deletion of FGFR2 in oligodendrocytes has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects accompanied by changes in FGF/FGFR dependent signalling, inflammatory cytokines and expression of remyelination inhibitors.
