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.

There is, therefore, a pressing need to identify innovative pathomechanism-based effective therapies for this condition. Thrombus formation in the cerebral microcirculation has been proposed to contribute to secondary brain damage by causing pericontusional ischemia, but previous studies have failed to harness this finding for therapeutic use. The aim of this study was to obtain preclinical evidence supporting the hypothesis that targeting factor XII prevents thrombus formation and has a beneficial effect on outcome after traumatic brain injury. Methods: We investigated the impact of genetic deficiency of factor XII and acute inhibition of activated factor XII with a single bolus injection of recombinant human albumin-fused infestin-4 (rHA-Infestin-4) on trauma-induced microvascular thrombus formation and the subsequent outcome in 2 mouse models of traumatic brain injury. Results: Our study showed that both genetic deficiency of factor XII and an inhibition of activated factor XII in mice minimize trauma-induced microvascular thrombus formation and improve outcome, as reflected by better motor function, reduced brain lesion volume, and diminished neurodegeneration. Administration of human factor XII in factor XII-deficient mice fully restored injury-induced microvascular thrombus formation and brain damage. Interpretation: The robust protective effect of rHA-Infestin-4 points to a novel treatment option that can decrease ischemic injury after traumatic brain injury without increasing bleeding tendencies.

To date most studies have focused on narrow taxonomic groups or lack a design that allows partitioning of the components of diversity. Here, we consider an exceptionally large dataset (113,952 individuals representing 5,858 species), obtained from the San Lorenzo forest in Panama, where the phylogenetic breadth of arthropod taxa was surveyed using 14 protocols targeting the soil, litter, understory, lower and upper canopy habitats, replicated across seasons in 2003 and 2004. This dataset is used to explore the relative influence of horizontal, vertical and seasonal drivers of arthropod distribution in this forest. We considered arthropod abundance, observed and estimated species richness, additive decomposition of species richness, multiplicative partitioning of species diversity, variation in species composition, species turnover and guild structure as components of diversity. At the scale of our study (2km of distance, 40m in height and 400 days), the effects related to the vertical and seasonal dimensions were most important. Most adult arthropods were collected from the soil/litter or the upper canopy and species richness was highest in the canopy. We compared the distribution of arthropods and trees within our study system. Effects related to the seasonal dimension were stronger for arthropods than for trees. We conclude that: (1) models of beta diversity developed for tropical trees are unlikely to be applicable to tropical arthropods; (2) it is imperative that estimates of global biodiversity derived from mass collecting of arthropods in tropical rainforests embrace the strong vertical and seasonal partitioning observed here; and (3) given the high species turnover observed between seasons, global climate change may have severe consequences for rainforest arthropods.

Die intrazellulären Signalmechanismen, die die Balance zwischen Keratinozytenwachstum und -differen-zierung steuern, sind bislang weitgehend unbekannt. In dieser Arbeit wurde die Bedeutung Mitogen-aktivierter Proteinkinase (MAPK-) Signalwege in keratinozytären Wachstums- und Differenzierungsvorgängen untersucht. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß Induktion von Keratinozytendifferenzierung durch Erhöhung der extrazellulären Calciumkonzentration mit einer raschen und transienten Aktivierung des Raf/MEK/Erk- (MAPK-) Signalweges verbunden ist, während keine veränderte Aktivität der stressinduzierten MAPK Jnk und p38 nachweisbar war. Die calciuminduzierte Erk-Aktivierung unterschied sich in ihrer Kinetik von mitogener Erk-Aktivierung durch den Epidermalen Wachstumsfaktor (EGF) und konnte durch Veränderungen der intrazellulären Calciumkonzentration moduliert werden. Während die mitogene Erk-Aktivierung durch die kleine GTPase Ras vermittelt wird, erfolgte calciuminduzierte Aktivierung von Erk Ras-unabhängig, was auf einen fundamentalen Unterschied mitogener und differenzierungsinduzierender Stimuli hinsichtlich ihrer Aktivierungsmechanismen der Raf/MEK/Erk-Kaskade hindeutet. Trotz der transienten Natur der calciuminduzierten Erk-Aktivierung waren die calcium-vermittelte Expression des Zellzykusinhibitors p21/Cip1 und des Differenzierungsmarkers Involucrin sensitiv für MEK-Inhibition, was auf eine wichtige Rolle des Raf/MEK/Erk-Signalweges in frühen Stadien des Differenzierungsprozesses hinweist. Wichtige Konvergenzpunkte zwischen calcium- und MAPK-abhängigen Signalwegen scheinen die beiden calciumbindenden S100-Proteine MRP8 und MRP14 zu sein. Beide Proteine werden in vitro differenzierungsabhängig exprimiert und translozieren sowohl nach Erhöhung der intrazellulären Calciumkonzentration als auch nach Stimulation stress-aktivierter MAPK an Zytoskelettstrukturen. Untersuchung der Expression von MRP8 und MRP14 in paraffin- und kryofixierten Serienschnitten gesunder und pathologisch veränderter Haut ergab, dass deren Expression normalerweise auf differenzierende Zellen im Haarfollikel beschränkt ist, jedoch in differenzierten Hautschichten hyperproliferativer oder tumoröser Haut massiv induziert werden kann. In der hier vorgestellten Arbeit wurden interessante neue Signalbeziehungen identifiziert, deren Entdeckung einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Verständnis der regulatorischen Mechanismen leisten könnte, durch die die Epidermis ihre funktionell wichtige Homöostase erhält. N2 - Abnormal proliferation and differentiation processes play an important role in the pathogenesis of various skin diseases. The intracellular signaling mechanisms governing the balance between growth and differentiation of keratinocytes are still largely unknown. In this thesis the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades in keratinocyte growth and differentiation was analysed. Induction of keratinocyte differentiation by elevation of extracellular calcium levels resulted in a rapid and transient activation of the Raf/MEK/Erk (MAPK) pathway but did not increase activity of the stress-activated Jnk or p38 MAPKs. Calcium-induced Erk activation differed in kinetics from mitogenic Erk activation by epidermal growth factor (EGF) and and could be modulated by alterations of intracellular calcium levels. While EGF-induced Erk activation was mediated by the small GTPase Ras, calcium-induced Erk activity occurred independently of active Ras. This suggests that proliferative and differentiation-inducing stimuli use alternative mechanisms to activate the Raf/MEK/Erk pathway. Despite the transient nature of Erk activation, calcium-induced expression of the cell cycle inhibitor protein p21 and the differentiation marker involucrin were sensitive to MEK inhibition which implies a role for the Raf/MEK/Erk pathway in early stages of keratinocyte differentiation. The two calcium binding S100 proteins additionally studied here, MRP8 and MRP14, seem to represent important convergent points between calcium and MAPK signaling. In vitro both proteins are expressed in a differentiation-dependent manner in keratinocytes. Elevation of intracellular calcium levels as well as activation of stress-activated MAPKs resulted in translocation of MRP8/MRP14 complexes to the cytoskeleton. When expression of MRP8 and MRP14 was analysed in serial paraffin- or kryo-sections of healthy or diseased skin, signals in normal skin were largely restricted to differentiating cells of the hair follicle, however, additionally a strong induction of MRP8/14 expression was observed in differentiating epidermal layers of hyperproliferative or tumorigenic skin. In this thesis important novel signaling interactions were identified which provide new basic insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of skin homeostasis which is essential for the maintenance of the multiple functions of the epidermis.

Physiologically, it is mainly known as a mechanoreceptive pathway in the endothelium, where it transduces the various vasoprotective effects of laminar blood flow. However, it also maintains integrity in other tissues exposed to mechanical stress, including bone, cartilage, and muscle, where it exerts a key function as a survival and differentiation pathway. Beyond its diverse physiological roles, the MEK5/ERK5 pathway has also been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, where it has recently emerged as a major escape route, sustaining tumor cell survival and proliferation under drug stress. In addition, MEK5/ERK5 dysfunction may foster cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Here, we highlight the importance of the MEK5/ERK5 pathway in health and disease, focusing on its role as a protective cascade in mechanical stress-exposed healthy tissues and its function as a therapy resistance pathway in cancers. We discuss the perspective of targeting this cascade for cancer treatment and weigh its chances and potential risks when considering its emerging role as a protective stress response pathway.

Here we applied PAR-CLIP to human RC3H1 to identify ~3,800 mRNA targets with >16,000 binding sites. A large number of sites are distinct from the consensus CDE and revealed a structure-sequence motif with U-rich sequences embedded in hairpins. RC3H1 binds preferentially short-lived and DNA damage-induced mRNAs, indicating a role of this RNA-binding protein in the post-transcriptional regulation of the DNA damage response. Intriguingly, RC3H1 affects expression of the NF-\(\kappa\)B pathway regulators such as I\(\kappa\)B\(\alpha\) and A20. RC3H1 uses ROQ and Zn-finger domains to contact a binding site in the A20 3'UTR, demonstrating a not yet recognized mode of RC3H1 binding. Knockdown of RC3H1 resulted in increased A20 protein expression, thereby interfering with I\(\kappa\)B kinase and NF-\(\kappa\)B activities, demonstrating that RC3H1 can modulate the activity of the IKK/NF-\(\kappa\)B pathway.

Here we hypothesize that some risk-associated variants might act in non-breast tissues, specifically adipose tissue and immune cells from blood and spleen. Using expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) reported in these tissues, we identify 26 previously unreported, likely target genes of overall breast cancer risk variants, and 17 for estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer, several with a known immune function. We determine the directional effect of gene expression on disease risk measured based on single and multiple eQTL. In addition, using a gene-based test of association that considers eQTL from multiple tissues, we identify seven (and four) regions with variants associated with overall (and ER-negative) breast cancer risk, which were not reported in previous GWAS. Further investigation of the function of the implicated genes in breast and immune cells may provide insights into the etiology of breast cancer.

Stress stimuli or growth factor deprivation promotes nuclear localization and activation of FoxO proteins, which—depending on the cellular context—can lead to cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. In endothelial cells (ECs), they further regulate angiogenesis and may promote inflammation and vessel destabilization implicating a role of FoxOs in vascular diseases. In several cancers, FoxOs exert a tumor-suppressive function by regulating proliferation and survival. We and others have previously shown that FoxOs can regulate these processes via two different mechanisms: by direct binding to forkhead-responsive elements at the promoter of target genes or by a poorly understood alternative process that does not require direct DNA binding and regulates key targets in primary human ECs. Here, we performed an interaction study in ECs to identify new nuclear FoxO3 interaction partners that might contribute to FoxO-dependent gene regulation. Mass spectrometry analysis of FoxO3-interacting proteins revealed transformation/transcription domain–associated protein (TRRAP), a member of multiple histone acetyltransferase complexes, as a novel binding partner of FoxO family proteins. We demonstrate that TRRAP is required to support FoxO3 transactivation and FoxO3-dependent G1 arrest and apoptosis in ECs via transcriptional activation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27\(^{kip1}\) and the proapoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2 family member, BIM. Moreover, FoxO–TRRAP interaction could explain FoxO-induced alternative gene regulation via TRRAP-dependent recruitment to target promoters lacking forkhead-responsive element sequences.

T1 - BioTIME: A database of biodiversity time series for the Anthropocene JF - Global Ecology and Biogeography N2 - Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is being developed as a community-led open-source database of biodiversity time series. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analysis of temporal patterns of biodiversity in the Anthropocene. Main types of variables included The database contains 8,777,413 species abundance records, from assemblages consistently sampled for a minimum of 2 years, which need not necessarily be consecutive. In addition, the database contains metadata relating to sampling methodology and contextual information about each record. Spatial location and grain BioTIME is a global database of 547,161 unique sampling locations spanning the marine, freshwater and terrestrial realms. Grain size varies across datasets from 0.0000000158 km2 (158 cm2) to 100 km2 (1,000,000,000,000 cm2). Time period and grain BioTIME records span from 1874 to 2016. The minimal temporal grain across all datasets in BioTIME is a year. Major taxa and level of measurement BioTIME includes data from 44,440 species across the plant and animal kingdoms, ranging from plants, plankton and terrestrial invertebrates to small and large vertebrates.
