T1  - Different genome sizes of Western and Eastern Ficaria verna lineages shed light on steps of Ficaria evolution
JF  - Forum Geobotanicum
N2  - The genus Ficaria is now considered to comprize eight Eurasian species. The most widespread European species is the tetraploid F. verna Huds. The present study provides evidence for the existence of two main lineages of F. verna that differ considerably in their genomic size by about 3 pg. A Western F. verna lineage west of river Rhine displays a mean genome size (2C-value) of 34.2 pg and is almost precisely codistributed with the diploid F. ambigua Boreau (20 pg) north of the Mediterranean. The remaining part of Europe appears to be occupied by the Eastern F. verna lineage solely (mean genome size of 31.3 pg) which codistributes in South-Eastern Europe with the diploid F. calthifolia Rchb. (15 pg). There is little overlap at the boundary of Western and Eastern F. verna lineages with the occurrence of a separate intermediate group in the Netherlands (mean genomic size of 33.2 pg) that appears to result from hybridization of both lineages. On the basis of these observations and further considerations we propose development of F. ambigua and F. calthifolia south of the Alps with subsequent divergence to populate their current Western and Eastern European ranges, respectively. The Western F. verna lineage is proposed to originate from autotetraploidization of F. ambigua (precursor) with moderate genomic downsizing and the Eastern F. verna lineage from auto¬tetraploidization of F. calthifolia (precursor).

T1  - Durchflusszytometrische Analyse CEACAM1-exprimierender Immunzellen bei Patienten mit Multipler Sklerose
T1  - Flow cytometric analysis of CEACAM1-expressing immune cells in patients with multiple sclerosis
N2  - Da die Pathogenese der Multiplen Sklerose (MS) bis heute nicht vollständig geklärt ist, befassten wir uns mit der Rolle CEACAM1-exprimierender Immunzellen bei Patienten mit MS und untersuchten diese mittels durchflusszytometrischer Untersuchung. Bei CEACAM1 (Carcinoembryonic-antigen-related cell adhesion molecule) handelt es sich um ein Zelladhäsionsmolekül, das sowohl an inter- als auch intrazellulären Signalmechanismen modulatorisch beteiligt ist. Anhand unserer Ergebnisse scheint CEACAM1 keine zentrale Rolle in der Pathogenese der MS zu spielen. Es ließ sich jedoch eine signifikante Erhöhung CD56+dim NK-Zellen (natürliche Killerzellen) im peripheren Blut von Patienten mit schubförmig remittierender MS feststellen. Dies stützt die These, dass die „dim“-Subpopulation der NK-Zellen eine proinflammatorische Rolle in der Pathogenese der MS einnehmen könnte. Demnach sollte in Zukunft hinsichtlich der Entwicklung neuer Biomarker in der MS der Fokus auf NK-Zellen und Monozyten sowie deren Subpopulationen gerichtet werden.
N2  - Since the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is still not completely understood we examined the role of CEACAM1-expressing immune cells in patients with MS. CEACAM1 (carcinoembryonic-antigen-related cell adhesion molecule) can modulate inter- as well as intracellular interactions. By flow cytometric analysis we measured the frequency of different immune cells as well as the frequency of CEACAM1-expressing immune cells, mainly in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Our results suggest that CEACAM1-expressing immune cells do not play a major role in the pathogenesis of MS.
Interestingly, the percentage of CD56+ dim natural killer cells (NK cells) was increased in patients with RRMS supporting the hypothesis that the „dim“ subpopulation of NK cells might contribute to the pathogenesis of MS in a proinflammatory way. Future studies should hence focus on examining the role of NK cells, monocytes and their subpopulations in MS aiming at finding possible new biomarkers.
