A1 - Henke, Erik T1 - Image-based modeling of vascular organization to evaluate anti-angiogenic therapy JF - Biology Direct N2 - In tumor therapy anti-angiogenic approaches have the potential to increase the efficacy of a wide variety of subsequently or co-administered agents, possibly by improving or normalizing the defective tumor vasculature. Successful implementation of the concept of vascular normalization under anti-angiogenic therapy, however, mandates a detailed understanding of key characteristics and a respective scoring metric that defines an improved vasculature and thus a successful attempt. Here, we show that beyond commonly used parameters such as vessel patency and maturation, anti-angiogenic approaches largely benefit if the complex vascular network with its vessel interconnections is both qualitatively and quantitatively assessed. To gain such deeper insight the organization of vascular networks, we introduce a multi-parametric evaluation of high-resolution angiographic images based on light-sheet fluorescence microscopy images of tumors. We first could pinpoint key correlations between vessel length, straightness and diameter to describe the regular, functional and organized structure observed under physiological conditions. We found that vascular networks from experimental tumors diverted from those in healthy organs, demonstrating the dysfunctionality of the tumor vasculature not only on the level of the individual vessel but also in terms of inadequate organization into larger structures. These parameters proofed effective in scoring the degree of disorganization in different tumor entities, and more importantly in grading a potential reversal under treatment with therapeutic agents. The presented vascular network analysis will support vascular normalization assessment and future optimization of anti-angiogenic therapy.

Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass die Immuntherapie anschlägt und dabei als Monotherapie die stärksten Tumornekrosen induzierte. Das Ansprechen auf die Immuntherapie mit BMS-1166 war jedoch sehr unterschiedlich. In der Kombination mit dem PLOD-2-Inhibitor Minoxidil wurden hingegen einheitlichere, aber auch geringere Nekroseanteile festgestellt. Dabei muss jedoch beachtet werden, dass die Kombinationsbehandlung die stärkste Auswirkung auf das Tumorwachstum hatte. So waren diese Tumore die kleinsten und leichtesten, was in Zusammenhang mit dem ausgeprägten kollagenen Netzwerk dieser Gruppe stehen könnte. Die Kombination zeigte keine Auswirkung auf die Tumorvaskularisierung und die Zellteilungsaktivität, sowie auch keine Auffälligkeiten bezüglich der Infiltration mit Immunzellen. Lungenmetastasen kamen in allen Behandlungsgruppen vor. Bei der Kombinationsbehandlung waren jedoch die durchschnittlich größten Lungenmetastasen festzustellen. In dieser Arbeit konnte keine klare signifikante Verbesserung der Brustkrebstherapie durch die Kombination von Inhibition der Kollagensynthese durch PLOD-2-Blockade und Inhibierung des PD-1/PD-1L-Checkpoints aufgezeigt werden. Das kollagene Netzwerk war auffällig und sollte genauer untersucht werden. Es lohnt sich weiter an Kombinationen aus Immuntherapeutikum und EZM-Destabilisierung zu arbeiten. Die TME muss dabei weiterhin Ansatzpunkt der Forschung bleiben, um eine erleichterte Penetration der Medikamente in den Tumor zu erzielen. Hier ist der Austausch des Medikaments zur EZM-Destabilisierung empfehlenswert. Die LOX-Inhibierung hat sich bereits in Kombination mit Chemotherapie als vorteilhaft erwiesen (Rossow et al., 2018) und sollte nachfolgend in einem ähnlichen Versuchsaufbau mit dem Immuntherapeutikum BMS-1166 ausprobiert werden. N2 - In this thesis, the histological and immunohistological effects of the combination of PD-1/PD-1L checkpoint inhibition and PLOD-2 blockade were investigated. It was found, that the immunotherapy was effective and induced the strongest tumor necrosis as monotherapy. The response to immunotherapy with BMS-1166 was highly variable. In combination with the PLOD-2 inhibitor minoxidil, more uniform but also lower levels of necrosis proportions were observed. It must be noted, that the combination treatment had the strongest effect on tumor growth. Thus tumors were the smallest and lightest, which may be related to the pronounced collagenous network of this group. The combination showed no effect on tumor vascularization and cell division activity, as well as no abnormalities regarding infiltration with immune cells. Lung metastases occurred in all treatment groups. However, in the combination treatment group were observed the largest lung metastases. In this thesis, no clear significant improvement of breast cancer therapy could be shown with the combination of inhibition of collagen synthesis by PLOD-2 blockade and inhibition of the PD-1/PD-1L checkpoint. The collagen network was conspicuous and should be investigated further. It is worthwhile to further investigate combinations of immunotherapeutic agents and ECM destabilization. The TME must remain the starting point of research to facilitate drug penetration into the tumor. Here, the replacement of the Drug for ECM destabilization is recommended. LOX inhibition has already been shown to be beneficial in combination with chemotherapy (Rossow et al., 2018) and should be subsequently tested in a similar experimental setting with the immunotherapeutic BMS-1166.

Innerhalb der Gefäßwand konnten unterschiedliche Stamm- und Vorläuferzellen identifiziert werden, die sog. Gefäßwand-residenten Stammzellen (VW-SCs). Zuletzt konnten aus CD34(+) VW-SCs, ohne genetische Manipulation, Kardiomyozyten generiert werden. Zusätzlich fungiert die Gefäßwand als Quelle inflammatorischer Zellen, die essenziell für die kardiogene Differenzierung der VW-SCs zu sein scheinen. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, das Verhalten von CD44(+) VW-SCs zu untersuchen, um herauszufinden, inwieweit dieser Stammzelltyp eine endogene Generierung von Kardiomyozyten unterstützen könnte. Dabei wurde mit infarzierten Mäuseherzen, dem Aortenringassay (ARA) und dem kardialen Angiogeneseassay (CAA) gearbeitet. Sowohl in vivo in ischämischen Arealen infarzierter Mäuseherzen als auch ex vivo im CAA kam es zu einem signifikanten Anstieg von CD44(+) Zellen. Mittels Färbungen auf CD44 und Ki-67 konnte die Teilungsfähigkeit dieser Zellen demonstriert werden. Ex vivo ließen sich aus CD44(+) Zellen F4/80(+) Makrophagen generieren. Die CD44(+) VW-SCs können sich dabei sowohl zu pro-inflammatorischen iNOS(+) M1- als auch zu anti-inflammatorischen IL-10(+) M2-Makrophagen differenzieren. Eine Modulation der kardialen Inflammation könnte einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Kardiomyogenese haben. Unter VEGF-A kam es im CAA zu einer deutlichen Zunahme von CD44(+) Zellen. Unter Lenvatinib blieb das kardiale Sprouting gänzlich aus, die Anzahl der CD44(+) Zellen stagnierte und die VW-SCs verblieben in ihren physiologischen Nischen innerhalb der Gefäßwand. Warum es nach einem MI kaum zu einer funktionellen Herzmuskelregeneration kommt, ist weiterhin unklar. Die therapeutische Beeinflussung koronaradventitieller CD44(+) VW-SCs und inflammatorischer Prozesse könnte dabei zukünftig eine wichtige therapeutische Option darstellen. N2 - The identification of endogenous stem cells with cardiogenic potential and the possibility to control their differentiation would represent a milestone in cardioregenerative therapy. Within the vascular wall, different stem and progenitor cells could be identified, the so-called vascular wall-resident stem cells (VW-SCs). Most recently, cardiomyocytes could be generated from CD34(+) VW-SCs, without genetic manipulation. In addition, the vascular wall acts as a source of inflammatory cells which appear to be essential for cardiogenic differentiation of VW-SCs. The objective of this work was to investigate the behavior of CD44(+) VW-SCs to see to what extent this stem cell type could support endogenous generation of cardiomyocytes. This was done using infarcted mouse hearts, the aortic ring assay (ARA), and the cardiac angiogenesis assay (CAA). There was a significant increase in CD44(+) cells in vivo in ischemic areas of infarcted mouse hearts and ex vivo in the CAA. A double staining for CD44 and Ki-67 demonstrated the ability of these cells to proliferate. Ex vivo, F4/80(+) macrophages could be generated from CD44(+) cells. Thereby, the CD44(+) VW-SCs can differentiate into both pro-inflammatory iNOS(+) M1 and anti-inflammatory IL-10(+) M2 macrophages. Modulation of cardiac inflammation may have a critical impact on cardiomyogenesis. Under VEGF-A, there was a clear increase in CD44(+) cells in the CAA. Under lenvatinib, cardiac sprouting was completely absent, the number of CD44(+) cells stagnated, and VW-SCs remained in their physiological niches within the vessel wall. Why there is little functional myocardial regeneration after MI remains unclear. Therapeutic manipulation of coronary adventitial CD44(+) VW-SCs and inflammatory processes may represent an important therapeutic option in the future.

Aus diesem Grund wird die Glukoseaufnahme durch erleichterte Diffusion durch die GLUT (SLC2) Familie, sowie durch die Familie der sekundär aktiven Transporter SGLT (SLC5A) gesichert. In dieser Arbeit wurde ein polyklonaler Antikörper gegen SGLT1 aus Kaninchen hergestellt. Dieser Antikörper wurde für die Innunhistologie sowie für Western blots eingesetzt. Man sah eine Anfärbung von Bürstensaummembranen an Dünndarm- und Nierentubulusepithelzellen, aber in diesen Geweben nicht an Mikrogefäßen. Darüberhinaus konnten wir SGLT1 an der basolateralen Membran von Speicheldrüsenazini sehen, auch hier konnten wir SGLT1 in den Kapillaren nicht sehen. Überraschenderweise konnte SGLT1 in der Blut-Hirn-Schranke nachgewiesen werden. Auch konnte man die Lokalisation von SGLT1 in den Kapillaren des Herzens und des Skelettmuskels zeigen. Die physiologische und pathophysiologische Bedeutung dieser Lokalisationen liegt noch im Unklaren. N2 - Glucose is one of the main energy sources of mammalian cells. Therefore glucose uptake is complicatedly regulated by facilated glucose uptake via transporters of the GLUT (SLC2) family and secondary active transporters of the SGLT (SLC5A) family. For this work, a polyclonal antibody against rat SGLT1 was raised in rabbits. This antibody was used in immunohistochemistry and western blots. Brush border membranes of small intestine and kidney epithelial cells were stained, but no microvessels in these tissues. Futhermore we could see SGLT1 in the basolateral membrane of the acini of salivary glands, here we could not dectect SGLT1 in capillary endothelial cells. Surprisingly we were able to detect SGLT in the blood-brain-barrier. We were also able to show the location of SGLT1 in the capillaries of heart and sceletal muscle. The physiologial and pathophysiological impact of this locations remains to be determined.

However, age-related changes of myeloid cells (MCs), such as microglia and macrophages, in the healthy retina or during CNV formation are ill-defined. In this study, Cx3cr1-positive MCs were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting from six-week (young) and two-year-old (old) Cx3cr1\(^{GFP/+}\) mice, both during physiological aging and laser-induced CNV development. High-throughput RNA-sequencing was performed to define the age-dependent transcriptional differences in MCs during physiological aging and CNV development, complemented by immunohistochemical characterization and the quantification of MCs, as well as CNV size measurements. These analyses revealed that myeloid cells change their transcriptional profile during both aging and CNV development. In the steady state, senescent MCs demonstrated an upregulation of factors contributing to cell proliferation and chemotaxis, such as Cxcl13 and Cxcl14, as well as the downregulation of microglial signature genes. During CNV formation, aged myeloid cells revealed a significant upregulation of angiogenic factors such as Arg1 and Lrg1 concomitant with significantly enlarged CNV and an increased accumulation of MCs in aged mice in comparison to young mice. Future studies need to clarify whether this observation is an epiphenomenon or a causal relationship to determine the role of immunosenescence in CNV formation.

T1 - Impact of AT2 Receptor Deficiency on Postnatal Cardiovascular Development JF - PLoS One N2 - Background: The angiotensin II receptor subtype 2 (AT2 receptor) is ubiquitously and highly expressed in early postnatal life. However, its role in postnatal cardiac development remained unclear. Methodology/Principal Findings: Hearts from 1, 7, 14 and 56 days old wild-type (WT) and AT2 receptor-deficient (KO) mice were extracted for histomorphometrical analysis as well as analysis of cardiac signaling and gene expression. Furthermore, heart and body weights of examined animals were recorded and echocardiographic analysis of cardiac function as well as telemetric blood pressure measurements were performed. Moreover, gene expression, sarcomere shortening and calcium transients were examined in ventricular cardiomyocytes isolated from both genotypes. KO mice exhibited an accelerated body weight gain and a reduced heart to body weight ratio as compared to WT mice in the postnatal period. However, in adult KO mice the heart to body weight ratio was significantly increased most likely due to elevated systemic blood pressure. At postnatal day 7 ventricular capillarization index and the density of \(\alpha\)-smooth muscle cell actin-positive blood vessels were higher in KO mice as compared to WT mice but normalized during adolescence. Echocardiographic assessment of cardiac systolic function at postnatal day 7 revealed decreased contractility of KO hearts in response to beta-adrenergic stimulation. Moreover, cardiomyocytes from KO mice showed a decreased sarcomere shortening and an increased peak Ca\(^{2+}\) transient in response to isoprenaline when stimulated concomitantly with angiotensin II. Conclusion: The AT2 receptor affects postnatal cardiac growth possibly via reducing body weight gain and systemic blood pressure. Moreover, it moderately attenuates postnatal vascularization of the heart and modulates the beta adrenergic response of the neonatal heart. These AT2 receptor-mediated effects may be implicated in the physiological maturation process of the heart.

Lysyl oxidases are major contributors to tissue stiffness and the elevated expression of these enzymes observed in most cancers might influence drug distribution and efficacy. We examined the effect of lysyl oxidases on drug distribution and efficacy in 3D in vitro assay systems. In our experiments elevated lysyl oxidase activity was responsible for reduced drug diffusion under hypoxic conditions and consequently impaired cytotoxicity of various chemotherapeutics. This effect was only observed in 3D settings but not in 2D-cell culture, confirming that lysyl oxidases affect drug efficacy by modification of the ECM and do not confer a direct desensitizing effect. Both drug diffusion and efficacy were strongly enhanced by inhibition of lysyl oxidases. The results from the in vitro experiments correlated with tumor drug distribution in vivo, and predicted response to therapeutics in murine tumor models. Our results demonstrate that lysyl oxidase activity modulates the physical barrier function of ECM for small molecule drugs influencing their therapeutic efficacy. Targeting this process has the potential to significantly enhance therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of malignant diseases.

Sap47 null mutant larvae show reduced short-term synaptic plasticity and a defect in associative behavioral plasticity. In cultured adipocytes, Syap1 functions as part of a complex that phosphorylates protein kinase B alpha/Akt1 (Akt1) at Ser\(^{473}\) and promotes differentiation. The role of Syap1 in the vertebrate nervous system is unknown. Here, we generated a Syap1 knock-out mouse and show that lack of Syap1 is compatible with viability and fertility. Adult knock-out mice show no overt defects in brain morphology. In wild-type brain, Syap1 is found widely distributed in synaptic neuropil, notably in regions rich in glutamatergic synapses, but also in perinuclear structures associated with the Golgi apparatus of specific groups of neuronal cell bodies. In cultured motoneurons, Syap1 is located in axons and growth cones and is enriched in a perinuclear region partially overlapping with Golgi markers. We studied in detail the influence of Syap1 knockdown and knockout on structure and development of these cells. Importantly, Syap1 knockout does not affect motoneuron survival or axon growth. Unexpectedly, neither knockdown nor knockout of Syap1 in cultured motoneurons is associated with reduced Ser\(^{473}\) or Thr\(^{308}\) phosphorylation of Akt. Our findings demonstrate a widespread expression of Syap1 in the mouse central nervous system with regionally specific distribution patterns as illustrated in particular for olfactory bulb, hippocampus, and cerebellum.

N2 - Polyspecific organic cation transporters (OCTs) of the SLC22 family mediate downhill transport of organic cations and play an essential role in excretion and distribution of endogenous organic cations and for the uptake, elimination and distribution of cationic drugs and toxins. One of these endogenous transported substances is the neurotransmitter Acetylcholin (ACh), which plays an important role in the differentiation and proliferation of human skin cells. The triphenylmethane dyes gentian violet (GV) and brilliant green (BG), that are used in dermatology for the local treatment of infected wounds show side effects such as disruption of the healing of wounds. It could be shown, that the dyes inhibit the OCTs in a concentration-dependent manner and the IC50-values could be determined. The transport of the dyes through the OCTs could not be shown however the toxicity on human keratinocytes could be confirmed in in-vitro essays with human cell lines. A connection between the disruption of wound-healing under therapy with triphenylmethane dyes and the inhibition of the ACh-transport mediated by the OCTs could not be confirmed.
