  abstract  = {The immune suppressants cyclosporin A (CsA) and tacrolimus (FK506) are used worldwide in transplantation medicine to suppress graft rejection. Both CsA and FK506 inhibit the phosphatase calcineurin (CN) whose activity controls the immune receptor-mediated activation of lymphocytes. Downstream targets of CN in lymphocytes are the nuclear factors of activated T cells (NFATs). We show here that the activity of NFATc1, the most prominent NFAT factor in activated lymphocytes supports the acute rejection of heterotopic heart allografts. While ablation of NFATc1 in T cells prevented graft rejection, ectopic expression of inducible NFATc1/αA isoform led to rejection of heart allografts in recipient mice. Acceptance of transplanted hearts in mice bearing NFATc1-deficient T cells was accompanied by a reduction in number and cytotoxicity of graft infiltrating cells. In CD8\(^+\) T cells, NFATc1 controls numerous intracellular signaling pathways that lead to the metabolic switch to aerobic glycolysis and the expression of numerous lymphokines, chemokines, and their receptors, including Cxcr3 that supports the rejection of allogeneic heart transplants. These findings favors NFATc1 as a molecular target for the development of new strategies to control the cytotoxicity of T cells upon organ transplantation.},

  abstract  = {Es zeigte sich, dass die unmittelbare postoperative gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualit{\"a}t erwartungsgem{\"a}ß deutlich eingeschr{\"a}nkt, jedoch nach circa sechs Monaten wieder auf dem Ausgangsniveau der pr{\"a}operativen Ebene angekommen war. Sowohl die Symptomskalen als auch die Funktionsskalen zeigten statistisch signifikante Unterschiede der erhobenen Werte bez{\"u}glich des Vergleichs der pr{\"a}operativen zu den postoperativen Daten, dasselbe ließ sich {\"u}ber die Werte im Rahmen der Verlaufskontrolle nach circa sechs Monaten erheben. Eine kurzfristige Einbuße der Lebensqualit{\"a}t durch einen station{\"a}ren Krankenhausaufenthalt sowie einer operativen Versorgung erscheint logisch. F{\"u}r die zuk{\"u}nftige Entscheidung vor allem auch f{\"u}r Personen, welche aufgrund einer benignen Leberraumforderung eine operative Versorgung erhalten sollen, ist zu sagen, dass die globale gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualit{\"a}t postoperativ nach circa sechs Monaten gleich bzw. etwas gebessert ausfiel und somit eine Rechtfertigung der operativen Versorgung auch bei benignen Erkrankungen darstellen kann. Ein wesentlicher Aspekt der Arbeit ist, dass gezeigt werden konnte, dass auch bei komplexen Lebereingriffen eine schnelle Rekonvaleszenz - mindestens auf das Niveau vor dem Eingriff - innerhalb der ersten sechs Monate zu erwarten ist. Die systematische Erfassung der Lebensqualit{\"a}t hilft die postoperativen Einschr{\"a}nkungen und die Rekonvaleszenz zu normieren.},

  abstract  = {TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) and inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide (CHX) sensitize for poly(I:C)-induced cell death. Notably, although CHX preferentially enhanced poly(I:C)-induced apoptosis, TWEAK enhanced primarily poly(I:C)-induced necroptosis. Both sensitizers of poly(I:C)-induced cell death, however, showed no major effect on proinflammatory poly(I:C) signaling. Analysis of a panel of HeLa-RIPK3 variants lacking TRADD, RIPK1, FADD, or caspase-8 expression revealed furthermore similarities and differences in the way how poly(I:C)/TWEAK, TNF, and TRAIL utilize these molecules for signaling. RIPK1 turned out to be essential for poly(I:C)/TWEAK-induced caspase-8-mediated apoptosis but was dispensable for this response in TNF and TRAIL signaling. TRADD-RIPK1-double deficiency differentially affected poly(I:C)-triggered gene induction but abrogated gene induction by TNF completely. FADD deficiency abrogated TRAIL- but not TNF- and poly(I:C)-induced necroptosis, whereas TRADD elicited protective activity against all three death inducers. A general protective activity against poly(I:C)-, TRAIL-, and TNF-induced cell death was also observed in FLIPL and FLIPS transfectrants.},
