Signals which induce activation, migration and differentiation of these cells are largely unknown. Here we have isolated rat ventricular EPDC and rat/human ASC and performed genetic and proteomic profiling. EPDC and ASC expressed epicardial/mesenchymal markers (WT-1, Tbx18, CD73,CD90, CD44, CD105), cardiac markers (Gata4, Tbx5, troponin T) and also contained phosphocreatine. We used cell surface biotinylation to isolate plasma membrane proteins of rEPDC and hASC, Nano-liquid chromatography with subsequent mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analysis identified 396 rat and 239 human plasma membrane proteins with 149 overlapping proteins. Functional GO-term analysis revealed several significantly enriched categories related to extracellular matrix (ECM), cell migration/differentiation, immunology or angiogenesis. We identified receptors for ephrin and growth factors (IGF, PDGF, EGF, anthrax toxin) known to be involved in cardiac repair and regeneration. Functional category enrichment identified clusters around integrins, PI3K/Akt-signaling and various cardiomyopathies. Our study indicates that EPDC and ASC have a similar molecular phenotype related to cardiac healing/regeneration. The cell surface proteome repository will help to further unravel the molecular details of their cardio-regenerative potential and their role in cardiac diseases.}, language = {en} } @article{BuhlBeissertGaffaletal.2020, author = {Buhl, Timo and Beissert, Stefan and Gaffal, Evelyn and Goebeler, Matthias and Hertl, Michael and Mauch, Cornelia and Reich, Kristian and Schmidt, Enno and Sch{\"o}n, Michael P. and Sticherling, Michael and Sunderk{\"o}tter, Cord and Traidl-Hoffmann, Claudia and Werfel, Thomas and Wilsman-Theis, Dagmar and Worm, Margitta}, title = {COVID-19 and implications for dermatological and allergological diseases}, series = {JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft}, volume = {18}, journal = {JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft}, number = {8}, doi = {10.1111/ddg.14195}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-217860}, pages = {815 -- 824}, year = {2020}, abstract = {COVID-19, caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has become pandemic. A further level of complexity opens up as soon as we look at diseases whose pathogenesis and therapy involve different immunological signaling pathways, which are potentially affected by COVID-19. Medical treatments must often be reassessed and questioned in connection with this infection. This article summarizes the current knowledge of COVID-19 in the light of major dermatological and allergological diseases. It identifies medical areas lacking sufficient data and draws conclusions for the management of our patients during the pandemic. We focus on common chronic inflammatory skin diseases with complex immunological pathogenesis: psoriasis, eczema including atopic dermatitis, type I allergies, autoimmune blistering and inflammatory connective tissue diseases, vasculitis, and skin cancers. Since several other inflammatory skin diseases display related or comparable immunological reactions, clustering of the various inflammatory dermatoses into different disease patterns may help with therapeutic decisions. Thus, following these patterns of skin inflammation, our review may supply treatment recommendations and thoughtful considerations for disease management even beyond the most frequent diseases discussed here.}, language = {en} }
