  abstract  = {Bei Morbus Fabry handelt es sich um eine X-chromosomal rezessiv vererbbare lysosomale Speichererkrankung. Im Vordergrund der kardialen Beteiligung stehen eine progrediente Herzinsuffizienz, bedingt durch eine linksventrikul{\"a}re Hypertrophie mit kardialer Fibrosierung, sowie eine Mitbeteiligung des Reizleitungssystems. Bei 150 Patienten wurden im Zeitraum von 2001-2009 neben einer klinischen Untersuchung ein EKG, eine Echokardiographie, ein Belastungs-EKG und teilweise auch eine Magnetresonanztomographie durchgef{\"u}hrt. Zum Vergleich der Patientenentwicklung wurde jeweils das j{\"u}ngste Follow-up Ergebnis mit den Baseline-Daten verglichen. Es konnte eine signifikante Korrelation zwischen der QRS-Dauer und der Wandst{\"a}rke in der Echokardiographie und der Magnetresonanztomographie eindeutig nachgewiesen werden. Eine myokardiale Fibrose ist bei normalen Ruhe-EKG-Parametern nahezu auszuschließen. In der Untersuchung des Langzeit-EKGs fanden sich bei einigen Patienten h{\"o}hergradige ventrikul{\"a}re Rhythmusst{\"o}rungen, welche als erh{\"o}htes individuelles Risiko und als bedeutender Faktor der Sterblichkeit bei Morbus Fabry zu werten sind.},

  abstract  = {The Transient Receptor Potential Channel Subunit 4 (TRPC4) has been considered as a crucial Ca\(^{2+}\) component in cardiomyocytes promoting structural and functional remodeling in the course of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. TRPC4 assembles as homo or hetero-tetramer in the plasma membrane, allowing a non-selective Na\(^{+}\) and Ca\(^{2+}\) influx. Gαq protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) stimulation is known to increase TRPC4 channel activity and a TRPC4-mediated Ca\(^{2+}\) influx which has been regarded as ideal Ca\(^{2+}\) source for calcineurin and subsequent nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) activation. Functional properties of TRPC4 are also based on the expression of the TRPC4 splice variants TRPC4α and TRPC4β. Aim of the present study was to analyze cytosolic Ca\(^{2+}\) signals, signaling, hypertrophy and vitality of cardiomyocytes in dependence on the expression level of either TRPC4α or TRPC4β. The analysis of Ca\(^{2+}\) transients in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCs) showed that TRPC4α and TRPC4β affected Ca\(^{2+}\) cycling in beating cardiomyocytes with both splice variants inducing an elevation of the Ca\(^{2+}\) transient amplitude at baseline and TRPC4β increasing the Ca\(^{2+}\) peak during angiotensin II (Ang II) stimulation. NRCs infected with TRPC4β (Ad-C4β) also responded with a sustained Ca\(^{2+}\) influx when treated with Ang II under non-pacing conditions. Consistent with the Ca\(^{2+}\) data, NRCs infected with TRPC4α (Ad-C4α) showed an elevated calcineurin/NFAT activity and a baseline hypertrophic phenotype but did not further develop hypertrophy during chronic Ang II/phenylephrine stimulation. Down-regulation of endogenous TRPC4α reversed these effects, resulting in less hypertrophy of NRCs at baseline but a markedly increased hypertrophic enlargement after chronic agonist stimulation. Ad-C4β NRCs did not exhibit baseline calcineurin/NFAT activity or hypertrophy but responded with an increased calcineurin/NFAT activity after GPCR stimulation. However, this effect was not translated into an increased propensity towards hypertrophy but rather less hypertrophy during GPCR stimulation. Further analyses revealed that, although hypertrophy was preserved in Ad-C4α NRCs and even attenuated in Ad-C4β NRCs, cardiomyocytes had an increased apoptosis rate and thus were less viable after chronic GPCR stimulation. These findings suggest that TRPC4α and TRPC4β differentially affect Ca\(^{2+}\) signals, calcineurin/NFAT signaling and hypertrophy but similarly impair cardiomyocyte viability during GPCR stimulation.},

  abstract  = {Purpose Therapeutic options for breast cancer (BC) treatment are constantly evolving. The Human Epidermal Growth Factor 2 (HER2)-low BC entity is a new subgroup, representing about 55\% of all BC patients. New antibody-drug conjugates demonstrated promising results for this BC subgroup. Currently, there is limited information about the conversion of HER2 subtypes between primary tumor and recurrent disease. Methods This retrospective study included women with BC at the University Medical Centre Wuerzburg from 1998 to 2021. Data were retrieved from patients' records. HER2 evolution from primary diagnosis to the first relapse and the development of secondary metastases was investigated. Results In the HR-positive subgroup without HER2 overexpression, HER2-low expression in primary BC was 56.7 vs. 14.6\% in the triple-negative subgroup (p < 0.000). In the cohort of the first relapse, HER2-low represented 64.1\% of HR-positive vs. 48.2\% of the triple-negative cohort (p = 0.03). In patients with secondary metastases, HER2-low was 75.6\% vs. 50\% in the triple negative subgroup (p = 0.10). The subgroup of HER2-positive breast cancer patients numerically increased in the course of disease; the HER2-negative overall cohort decreased. A loss of HER2 expression from primary BC to the first relapse correlated with a better OS (p = 0.018). No clinicopathological or therapeutic features could be identified as potential risk factors for HER2 conversion. Conclusion HER2 expression is rising during the progression of BC disease. In view of upcoming therapeutical options, the re-analysis of newly developed metastasis will become increasingly important.},
