It is part of the European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID) registry. The primary purpose of the registry is to gather data on the epidemiology, diagnostic delay, diagnosis, and treatment of PIDs. Methods: Clinical and laboratory data was collected from 2,453 patients from 36 German PID centres in an online registry. Data was analysed with the software Stata® and Excel. Results: The minimum prevalence of PID in Germany is 2.72 per 100,000 inhabitants. Among patients aged 1-25, there was a clear predominance of males. The median age of living patients ranged between 7 and 40 years, depending on the respective PID. Predominantly antibody disorders were the most prevalent group with 57% of all 2,453 PID patients (including 728 CVID patients). A gene defect was identified in 36% of patients. Familial cases were observed in 21% of patients. The age of onset for presenting symptoms ranged from birth to late adulthood (range 0-88 years). Presenting symptoms comprised infections (74%) and immune dysregulation (22%). Ninety-three patients were diagnosed without prior clinical symptoms. Regarding the general and clinical diagnostic delay, no PID had undergone a slight decrease within the last decade. However, both, SCID and hyper IgE-syndrome showed a substantial improvement in shortening the time between onset of symptoms and genetic diagnosis. Regarding treatment, 49% of all patients received immunoglobulin G (IgG) substitution (70%-subcutaneous; 29%-intravenous; 1%-unknown). Three-hundred patients underwent at least one hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Five patients had gene therapy. Conclusion: The German PID-NET registry is a precious tool for physicians, researchers, the pharmaceutical industry, politicians, and ultimately the patients, for whom the outcomes will eventually lead to a more timely diagnosis and better treatment.

Mittelpunkt dieser Arbeit war die Beobachtung, dass die Aktivität des Transkriptionsfaktors NF-kB in Synovialzellen nach Infektion stimuliert wird. Die Erkrankung steht im klinischen Zusammenhang mit einer Infektion durch gram-negative Darmbakterien und weiteren Erregern. TNF-a spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Erregerantwort der infizierten Zellen, in welchen erhöhte TNF-a-Titer gemessen wurden. Das bekannte Mitwirken von NF-kB in immunologischen Prozessen ließ vermuten, dass dieser Transkriptionsfaktor an der Pathogenese der reaktiven Arthritis beteiligt ist. Dies steht in engem Zusammenhang mit der Induktion von TNF-a, ein Zytokin, das gleichzeitig ein wichtiger Induktor von NF-kB darstellt. In unseren Experimenten wurde ein Unterschied zwischen apathogenen und pathogenen Keimen in der zeitlichen Aktivierung von NF-kB beobachtet. Die Vertreter pathogener Erreger waren Yersinia enterocolitica O.3 und Salmonella enteritidis. Diese induzierten NF-kB zwischen 4 und 6 Stunden post infectionem, im Unterschied zu dem apathogenen Bakterium Escherichia coli, das den Transkriptionsfaktor schon nach 1 - 2 Stunden induzierte. Als Folge dieser Differenz könnte die Immunantwort der Zelle zu unterschiedlichen Reaktionen in der Lage sein und die Erreger abtöten oder eine Persistenz zulassen. Zusätzlich wurde das Augenmerk auf die einzelnen Zellbestandteile oder –produkte gelenkt. Im Vergleich zu intakten Bakterien wurde die Wirkung des Überstandes und die von UV-inaktivierten Keimen untersucht. Die Induktionsstärke war bei unbehandelten Erregern am größten und fiel dann bei UV-inaktivierten Bakterien deutlich ab. Ein weiteres Abfallen der Aktivierung war bei der Infektion mit dem bloßen Überstand zu verzeichnen. Mit diesen Ergebnissen wurde deutlich, dass NF-kB bei der Etablierung der reaktiven Arthritis eine Rolle spielen könnte. Noch bleibt offen, in welcher Art der Transkriptionsfaktor in die intrazellulären Prozesse eingreift und welche medikamentösen Behandlungsmöglichkeiten sich daraus ergeben könnten. N2 - Influence of gram-negative bacteria on activity of NF-kappaB in synovial fibroblasts - A step forward to the pathogenesis of reactive arthritis The pathogenesis of reactive arthritis has been discussed controversially. Reactive arthritis following gastrointestinal or urogenital tract infection with yersiniae, salmonellae, shigellae, campylobacter or chlamydiae has been regarded as a human model of spondylarthropathies. Several cytokines including TNF-a are crucial for bacterial elimination of infected cells. It has been shown that infection of synovial fibroblasts with yersiniae leads to expression of TNF-a. TNF-a is closely connected with the induction of NF-kB because it is one of the most important inducers of NF-kB. The transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NFkB) plays a crucial role in the expression of multiple genes involved in inflammatory responses, including TNF-a. Using an in vitro model, synovial fibroblasts were infected with different bacteria and activation of NF-kB was analysed. We looked for a difference of temporal activity of NF-kB between reactive arthritis inducing and non-inducing pathogens. Yersinia enterocolitica O.3 and Salmonella enteritidis are reactive arthritis inducing bacteria. These pathogens induce NF-kB between 4 and 6 hours after infection. In contrast, Escherichia coli that does not lead to reactive arthritis, activation of NF-kB was found 1 and 2 hours after infection. These results suggest, that the early immunological answer might lead to complete bacterial elimination whereas delayed response to infection can induce bacterial persistence, be able to kill the bacteria or let them persist. We were further interested in the question, if living and whole bacterial are necessary for activation of NF-kB or if also dead bacteria or bacterial components can lead to induction of NF-kB. Therefore, we investigated the effect on NF-kB activation in synovial fibroblasts after stimulation with bacteria, that were inactivated by UV-light irradiation and bacterial supernatant. Activation of NF-kB was highest after stimulation with native bacteria, but also seen after stimulation with UV-light-irradiated bacteria. The activity of NF-kB was weakest after stimulation with bacterial supernatant. These results suggest, that NFkB may play a role in the pathogenesis of reactive arthritis. It is still unknown how the transcription factor NF-kB is involved in the development of reactive arthritis. Moreover, knowing more about the pathogenesis of reactive arthritis might show us new aims for therapeutic interventions.
