Serotonin 5-HT4 receptors are promising candidates in IBS pathophysiology since they regulate gut motor function and stool consistency, and targeted 5-HT4R selective drug intervention has been proven beneficial in subgroups of patients. We identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs201253747) c.*61 T > C within the 5-HT4 receptor gene \(HTR4\) to be predominantly present in diarrhoea-IBS patients (IBS-D). It affects a binding site for the miR-16 family and miR-103/miR-107 within the isoforms \({HTR4b/i}\) and putatively impairs \(HTR4\) expression. Subsequent miRNA profiling revealed downregulation of miR-16 and miR-103 in the jejunum of IBS-D patients correlating with symptoms. \(In\) \(vitro\) assays confirmed expression regulation via three 3′UTR binding sites. The novel isoform \(HTR4b\_2\) lacking two of the three miRNA binding sites escapes miR-16/103/107 regulationin SNP carriers. We provide the first evidence that \(HTR4\) expression is fine-tuned by miRNAs, and that this regulation is impaired either by the SNP c.*61 T > C or bydiminished levels of miR-16 and miR-103 suggesting that \(HTR4\) might be involved in the development of IBS-D.

NGS is not only used to analyze DNA, but also RNA, which is a very similar molecule also present in the cell, in both cases producing large amounts of data. The big amount of data raises both infrastructure and usability problems, as powerful computing infrastructures are required and there are many manual steps in the data analysis which are complicated to execute. Both of those problems limit the use of NGS in the clinic and research, by producing a bottleneck both computationally and in terms of manpower, as for many analyses geneticists lack the required computing skills. Over the course of this thesis we investigated how computer science can help to improve this situation to reduce the complexity of this type of analysis. We looked at how to make the analysis more accessible to increase the number of people that can perform OMICS data analysis (OMICS groups various genomics data-sources). To approach this problem, we developed a graphical NGS data analysis pipeline aimed at a diagnostics environment while still being useful in research in close collaboration with the Human Genetics Department at the University of Würzburg. The pipeline has been used in various research papers on covering subjects, including works with direct author participation in genomics, transcriptomics as well as epigenomics. To further validate the graphical pipeline, a user survey was carried out which confirmed that it lowers the complexity of OMICS data analysis. We also studied how the data analysis can be improved in terms of computing infrastructure by improving the performance of certain analysis steps. We did this both in terms of speed improvements on a single computer (with notably variant calling being faster by up to 18 times), as well as with distributed computing to better use an existing infrastructure. The improvements were integrated into the previously described graphical pipeline, which itself also was focused on low resource usage. As a major contribution and to help with future development of parallel and distributed applications, for the usage in genetics or otherwise, we also looked at how to make it easier to develop such applications. Based on the parallel object programming model (POP), we created a Java language extension called POP-Java, which allows for easy and transparent distribution of objects. Through this development, we brought the POP model to the cloud, Hadoop clusters and present a new collaborative distributed computing model called FriendComputing. The advances made in the different domains of this thesis have been published in various works specified in this document. N2 - Das Gebiet der Genetik steht vor vielen Herausforderungen, sowohl in der Forschung als auch Diagnostik, aufgrund des "next generation sequencing" (NGS), eine Technologie die DNA immer schneller und billiger sequenziert. NGS wird nicht nur verwendet um DNA zu analysieren sondern auch RNA, ein der DNA sehr ähnliches Molekül, wobei in beiden Fällen große Datenmengen zu erzeugt werden. Durch die große Menge an Daten entstehen Infrastruktur und Benutzbarkeitsprobleme, da leistungsstarke Computerinfrastrukturen erforderlich sind, und es viele manuelle Schritte in der Datenanalyse gibt die kompliziert auszuführen sind. Diese beiden Probleme begrenzen die Verwendung von NGS in der Klinik und Forschung, da es einen Engpass sowohl im Bereich der Rechnerleistung als auch beim Personal gibt, da für viele Analysen Genetikern die erforderlichen Computerkenntnisse fehlen. In dieser Arbeit haben wir untersucht wie die Informatik helfen kann diese Situation zu verbessern indem die Komplexität dieser Art von Analyse reduziert wird. Wir haben angeschaut, wie die Analyse zugänglicher gemacht werden kann um die Anzahl Personen zu erhöhen, die OMICS (OMICS gruppiert verschiedene Genetische Datenquellen) Datenanalysen durchführen können. In enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Humangenetik der Universität Würzburg wurde eine graphische NGS Datenanalysen Pipeline erstellt um diese Frage zu erläutern. Die graphische Pipeline wurde für den Diagnostikbereich entwickelt ohne aber die Forschung aus dem Auge zu lassen. Darum warum die Pipeline in verschiedenen Forschungsgebieten verwendet, darunter mit direkter Autorenteilname Publikationen in der Genomik, Transkriptomik und Epigenomik, Die Pipeline wurde auch durch eine Benutzerumfrage validiert, welche bestätigt, dass unsere graphische Pipeline die Komplexität der OMICS Datenanalyse reduziert. Wir haben auch untersucht wie die Leistung der Datenanalyse verbessert werden kann, damit die nötige Infrastruktur zugänglicher wird. Das wurde sowohl durch das optimieren der verfügbaren Methoden (wo z.B. die Variantenanalyse bis zu 18 mal schneller wurde) als auch mit verteiltem Rechnen angegangen, um eine bestehende Infrastruktur besser zu verwenden. Die Verbesserungen wurden in der zuvor beschriebenen graphischen Pipeline integriert, wobei generell die geringe Ressourcenverbrauch ein Fokus war. Um die künftige Entwicklung von parallelen und verteilten Anwendung zu unterstützen, ob in der Genetik oder anderswo, haben wir geschaut, wie man es einfacher machen könnte solche Applikationen zu entwickeln. Dies führte zu einem wichtigen informatischen Result, in dem wir, basierend auf dem Model von „parallel object programming“ (POP), eine Erweiterung der Java-Sprache namens POP-Java entwickelt haben, die eine einfache und transparente Verteilung von Objekten ermöglicht. Durch diese Entwicklung brachten wir das POP-Modell in die Cloud, Hadoop-Cluster und präsentieren ein neues Model für ein verteiltes kollaboratives rechnen, FriendComputing genannt. Die verschiedenen veröffentlichten Teile dieser Dissertation werden speziel aufgelistet und diskutiert.

In many tumors, B-MYB and FOXM1 are overexpressed as part of the proliferation signature. However, the transcriptional targets that are important for oncogenesis have not been identified. Given that mitotic kinesins are highly expressed in cancer cells and that selected kinesins have been reported as target genes of MMB-FOXM1, we sought to determine which mitotic kinesins are directly regulated by MMB-FOXM1. We demonstrate that six mitotic kinesins and two microtubule-associated non-motor proteins (MAPs) CEP55 and PRC1 are direct transcriptional targets of MuvB, B-MYB and FOXM1 in breast cancer cells. Suppression of KIF23 and PRC1 strongly suppressed proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells. The set of MMB-FOXM1 regulated kinesins genes and 4 additional kinesins which we referred to as the mitotic kinesin signature (MKS) is linked to poor outcome in breast cancer patients. Thus, mitotic kinesins could be used as prognostic biomarker and could be potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of breast cancer.

A potential approach to treat multiple pathogen infections and that should not induce drug resistance is the use of small molecules that target host components. We identifed the compound 1-adamantyl (5-bromo-2-methoxybenzyl) amine (ABMA) from a cell-based high throughput screening for its capacity to protect human cells and mice against ricin toxin without toxicity. This compound efciently protects cells against various toxins and pathogens including viruses, intracellular bacteria and parasite. ABMA provokes Rab7-positive late endosomal compartment accumulation in mammalian cells without affecting other organelles (early endosomes, lysosomes, the Golgi apparatus, the endoplasmic reticulum or the nucleus). As the mechanism of action of ABMA is restricted to host-endosomal compartments, it reduces cell infection by pathogens that depend on this pathway to invade cells. ABMA may represent a novel class of broad-spectrum compounds with therapeutic potential against diverse severe infectious diseases.

The regime of collective strong coupling arises, when various excitations from different host media are strongly coupled to the same optical resonance. This leads to a well-controllable admixture of various matter components in three hybrid polariton modes. Here, we study a cavity device with four embedded GaAs quantum wells hosting excitons that are spectrally matched to the A-valley exciton resonance of a MoSe\(_{2}\) monolayer. The formation of hybrid polariton modes is evidenced in momentum resolved photoluminescence and reflectivity studies. We describe the energy and k-vector distribution of exciton-polaritons along the hybrid modes by a thermodynamic model, which yields a very good agreement with the experiment.

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is one of the eight herpesviruses that can infect humans and is prevalent worldwide. Herpesviruses have evolved multiple ways to adapt the infected cells to their needs, but knowledge about these transcriptional and post-transcriptional modifications is sparse. Results Here, we show that HSV-1 induces the expression of about 1000 antisense transcripts from the human host cell genome. A subset of these is also activated by the closely related varicella zoster virus. Antisense transcripts originate either at gene promoters or within the gene body, and they show different susceptibility to the inhibition of early and immediate early viral gene expression. Overexpression of the major viral transcription factor ICP4 is sufficient to turn on a subset of antisense transcripts. Histone marks around transcription start sites of HSV-1-induced and constitutively transcribed antisense transcripts are highly similar, indicating that the genetic loci are already poised to transcribe these novel RNAs. Furthermore, an antisense transcript overlapping with the BBC3 gene (also known as PUMA) transcriptionally silences this potent inducer of apoptosis in cis. Conclusions We show for the first time that a virus induces widespread antisense transcription of the host cell genome. We provide evidence that HSV-1 uses this to downregulate a strong inducer of apoptosis. Our findings open new perspectives on global and specific alterations of host cell transcription by viruses.

Lewis-base adducts of the diboron(4) compounds were suggested as possible intermediates in Cu catalyzed borylation reactions some time ago. However, intermolecular adducts of tetraalkoxy diboron compounds have not been studied yet in great detail. In preliminary studies, we have synthesized a series of anionic sp2-sp3 adducts of B2pin2 with alkoxy-groups (L = [OMe]–, [OtBu]–), a phenoxy-group (L = [4-tBuC6H4O]–) and fluoride (L = [F]–, with [nBu4N]+ as the counter ion) as Lewis-bases. Neutral Adducts Since their isolation and characterization, applications of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and related molecules, e.g., cyclic alkylaminocarbenes (CAACs) and acyclic diaminocarbenes (aDCs), have grown rapidly. Their use as ligands in homogeneous catalysis and directly in organocatalysis, including recently developed borylation reactions, is now well established. Recently, several examples of ring expansion reactions (RER) involving NHCs were reported to take place at elevated temperatures, involving Be, B, and Si. Furthermore, preliminary studies in the group of Marder et al. showed the presence of neutral sp2-sp3 diboron compounds with B2pin2 and the NHC Cy2Im. In this work, we focused on the synthesis and characterization of further neutral sp2-sp3 as well as sp3-sp3 diboron adducts with B2cat2 and B2neop2 and different NHCs. Whereas the mono-NHC adduct is stable for several hours at temperatures up to 60 °C, the bis-NHC adducts undergo thermally induced rearrangement to form the ring expanded products compound 26 and 27. B2neop2 is much more reactive than B2cat2 giving ring expanded product 29 at room temperature in quantitative yields, demonstrating that NHC ring expansion and B–B bond cleavage can be very facile processes. Whereas the mono-NHC adduct is stable for several hours at temperatures up to 60 °C, the bis-NHC adducts undergo thermally induced rearrangement to form the ring expanded products compound 26 and 27. B2neop2 is much more reactive than B2cat2 giving ring expanded product 29 at room temperature in quantitative yields, demonstrating that NHC ring expansion and B–B bond cleavage can be very facile processes. N2 - Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde die Synthese und das Reaktionsverhalten Lewis-Säuren/Lewis-Basen-Addukte von Diboran(4)-Verbindungen als Lewis-Säuren untersucht. Als Lewis-Basen dienten zum einem das Fluorid-Ion, zum anderen N-Heterozyklische Carbene. Ein Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war somit die Synthese und Charakterisierung anionischer sp2-sp3-Diboran-Verbindungen des Typs [B2(OR)4F][NMe4] (OR2 = Pinakol, Catechol und Neopentyl), die auf ihre Eigenschaft als „Boryl-Übertragungsreagenz“ gegenüber Diazoniumsalzen überprüft wurden. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit untersucht die Reaktion von Diboranen (B2cat2 und B2neop2) mit gesättigten und ungesättigten N-Heterozyklischen Carbenen (NHCs). Die neutralen, einfach- und zweifach-substituierten NHC-Addukte des Typs B2(OR)4•NHC und B2(OR)4•(NHC)2 wurden anschließend auf ihre thermische Stabilität untersucht. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen zum einem, dass anionische Addukte des Typs [B2(OR)4F][NMe4] 4, 7 und 9 als „Boryl-Übertragungsreagenzien“ eingesetzt werden können. Ferner lassen sich ausgehend von Diboran(4)-Verbindungen durch die Umsetzung mit N Heterozyklischen Carbenen die einfach- und zweifach-substituierten NHC-Addukte B2(OR)4•NHC und B2(OR)4•(NHC)2 synthetisieren. Diese sind zum Teil instabil gegenüber einer Ringerweiterungsreaktion unter Insertion einer Boryleinheit in die C–N-Bindung des Carbens. Untersuchungen an NHC-Addukten von Boranen BR3 und HB(OR)2 zeigen weiterhin, dass die Addukte Ph3B•NHC gegenüber solchen Ringerweiterungen stabil sind. Die Addukte HB(OR)2•NHC sind je nach eingesetztem Carben und Boran entweder stabil oder reagieren unter B–H-Bindungsaktivierung zur Ringerweiterung des Carbens.

Diese Systeme verbessern sich ständig, sowohl funktionell, als auch technologisch und sie sind unumgänglich für Unternehmen, um ihre Produktivität zu vergrößern und um in dem nationalen und globalen Wettbewerb mitzuhalten. Da lokale Softwarelösungen die Bedingungen, speziell von großen Betrieben, funktionell und technologisch nicht erfüllen konnten und da riesige globale Softwarehersteller, wie SAP, Oracle und Microsoft ihre Lösungen rapide verbessern und sie ihren Markt immer mehr über den Globus expandieren, nimmt die Nachfrage für diese globalen Marken und deren nahezu einwandfreien Softwarelösungen täglich zu. Die Zustimmung für internationale ERP Unternehmensberatungsanwendungen nimmt deswegen exponentiell zu, während die Forschung der beeinflussenden Faktoren und des Fachwissens wenig verbreitet ist. Deswegen ist es so dringlich, dieses Gebiet zu erforschen. Das schlussendliche fünf-in-fünf Framework dieser Studie sammelt zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte alle historisch erwähnten, kritischen Erfolgsfaktoren und Projektaktivitäten. Diese wurden in fünf Phasen unterteilt und nach den fünf Schwerpunkten der internationalen ERP Projektdurchführung kategorisiert. Dieses Framework bietet einen Überblick und bildet einen umfassenden Fahrplan für solche Projekte. N2 - The importance of enterprise systems is increasingly growing and they are in the center of attention and consideration by organizations in various types of business and industries from extra-large public or private organizations to small and medium-sized service sector business. These systems are continuously advancing functionally and technologically and are inevitable and ineluctable for the enterprises to maximize their productivity and integration in current competitive national and global business environments. Also, since local software solutions could not meet the requirements of especially large enterprises functionally and technically, and as giant global enterprise software producers like SAP, Oracle and Microsoft are improving their solutions rapidly and since they are expanding their market to more corners of the globe, demand for these globally branded low-defect software solutions is daily ascending. The agreements for international ERP implementation project consultancy are, therefore, exponentially increasing, while the research on the influencing factors and know-hows is scattered and rare, and thus, a timely urgency for this field of research is being felt. The final developed five-in-five framework of this study, for the first time, collects all mentioned-in-the-history critical success factors and project activities, while sequencing them in five phases and categorizing them in five focus areas for international ERP implementation projects. This framework provides a bird’s-eye view and draws a comprehensive roadmap or instruction for such projects.
