Few topics have been the subject of more controversy than those encapsulated by the terms "sex" and "gender". Social-cultural and biological-evolutionary argumentation patterns frequently clash and especially the public debate appears to be stuck in a stalemate between the two competing parties.
From a psychological perspective both topics appear deeply intertwined and are not easy to be separated. This study pursues an integrative approach to better understand the roots of differences best subsumed under the term sex/gender. It will become apparent that both nature and nurture variables interact and form the complex system of human behavior and experience.
In DNA-encoded library synthesis, amine-substituted building blocks are prevalent. We explored isocyanide multicomponent reactions to diversify DNA-tagged amines and reported the Ugi-azide reaction with high yields and a good substrate scope. In addition, the Ugi-aza-Wittig reaction and the Ugi-4-center-3-component reaction, which used bifunctional carboxylic acids to provide lactams, were explored. Five-, six-, and seven-membered lactams were synthesized from solid support-coupled DNA-tagged amines and bifunctional building blocks, providing access to structurally diverse scaffolds.
The binding of drugs to plasma proteins is an important process in the human body and has a significant influence on pharmacokinetic parameter. Human serum albumin (HSA) has the most important function as a transporter protein. The binding of ketamine to HSA has already been described in literature, but only of the racemate. The enantiomerically pure S-ketamine is used as injection solution for induction of anesthesia and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the therapy of severe depression as a nasal spray in 2019. The question arises if there is enantioselective binding to HSA. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate whether there is enantioselective binding of S-and R-ketamine to HSA or not. Ultrafiltration (UF) followed by chiral capillary electrophoretic analysis was used to determine the extent of protein binding. Bound fraction to HSA was 71.2 % and 64.9 % for enantiomerically pure R- and S-ketamine, respectively, and 66.5 % for the racemate. Detailed binding properties were studied by Saturation Transfer Difference (STD)-, waterLOGSY- and Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG)-NMR spectroscopy. With all three methods, the aromatic ring and the N-methyl group could be identified as the structural moieties most strongly involved in binding of ketamine to HSA. pK\(_{aff}\) values determined using UF and NMR indicate that ketamine is a weak affinity ligand to HSA and no significant differences in binding behavior were found between the individual enantiomers and the racemate.
The hallmark oncoprotein Myc is a major driver of tumorigenesis in various human cancer entities. However, Myc’s structural features make it challenging to develop small molecules against it. A promising strategy to indirectly inhibit the function of Myc is by targeting its interactors. Many Myc-interacting proteins have reported scaffolding functions which are difficult to target using conventional occupancy- driven inhibitors. Thus, in this thesis, the proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) approach was used to target two oncoproteins interacting with Myc which promote the oncogenicity of Myc, Aurora-A and WDR5. PROTACs are bifunctional small molecules that bind to the target protein with one ligand and recruit a cellular E3- ligase with the other ligand to induce target degradation via the ubiquitin- proteasome system. So far, the most widely used E3-ligases for PROTAC development are Cereblon (CRBN) and von Hippel–Lindau tumor suppressor (VHL). Furthermore, there are cases of incompatibility between some E3-ligases and proteins to bring about degradation. Hence there is a need to explore new E3- ligases and a demand for a tool to predict degradative E3-ligases for the target protein in the PROTAC field.
In the first part, a highly specific mitotic kinase Aurora-A degrader, JB170, was developed. This compound utilized Aurora-A inhibitor alisertib as the target ligand and thalidomide as the E3-ligase CRBN harness. The specificity of JB170 and the ternary complex formation was supported by the interactions between Aurora-A and CRBN. The PROTAC-mediated degradation of Aurora-A induced a distinct S- phase defect rather than mitotic arrest, shown by its catalytic inhibition. The finding demonstrates that Aurora-A has a non-catalytic role in the S-phase. Furthermore, the degradation of Aurora-A led to apoptosis in various cancer cell lines.
In the second part, two different series of WDR5 PROTACs based on two protein- protein inhibitors of WDR5 were evaluated. The most efficient degraders from both series recruited VHL as a E3-ligase and showed partial degradation of WDR5. In addition, the degradation efficiency of the PROTACs was significantly affected by the linker nature and length, highlighting the importance of linker length and composition in PROTAC design. The degraders showed modest proliferation defects at best in cancer cell lines. However, overexpression of VHL increased the degradation efficiency and the antiproliferative effect of the PROTACs.
In the last part, a rapamycin-based assay was developed to predict the degradative E3-ligase for a target. The assay was validated using the WDR5/VHL and Aurora- A/CRBN pairs. The result that WDR5 is degraded by VHL but not CRBN and Aurora-A is degraded by CRBN, matches observations made with PROTACs. This technique will be used in the future to find effective tissue-specific and essential E3-ligases for targeted degradation of oncoproteins using PROTACs.
Collectively, the work presented here provides a strategy to improve PROTAC development and a starting point for developing Aurora-A and WDR5 PROTACs for cancer therapy.
1,1,2-trifluoroethene (HFO-1123) is intended for use as a refrigerant. Inhalation studies on HFO-1123 in rats suggested a low potential for toxicity, with no-observed-adverse-effect levels greater then 20,000 ppm. However, single inhalation exposure of Goettingen Minipigs and New Zealand White Rabbits resulted in mortality. It was assumed that conjugation of HFO-1123 with glutathione, via glutathione S-transferase, gives rise to S-(1,1,2-trifluoroethyl)-L-glutathione (1123-GSH), which is then transformed to the corresponding cysteine S-conjugate (S-(1,1,2-trifluoroethyl)-L-cysteine, 1123-CYS). Subsequent beta-lyase mediated cleavage of 1123-CYS may result in monofluoroacetic acid, a potent inhibitor of aconitase. Species-differences in 1123-GSH formation and 1123-CYS cleavage to MFA may explain species-differences in HFO-1123 toxicity.
This study was designed to test the hypothesis, that GSH-dependent biotransformation and subsequent beta-lyase mediated formation of monofluoroacetic acid, a potent inhibitor of aconitase in the citric acid cycle, may play a key role in HFO-1123 toxicity and to evaluate if species-differences in the extent of MFA formation may account for the species-differences in HFO-1123 toxicity. The overall objective was to determine species-differences in HFO-1123 biotransformation in susceptible vs. less susceptible species and humans as a basis for human risk assessment.
To this end, in vitro biotransformation of HFO-1123 and 1123-CYS was investigated in renal and hepatic subcellular fractions of mice, rats, humans, Goettingen Minipigs and NZW Rabbits. Furthermore, cytotoxicity and metabolism of 1123-CYS was assessed in cultured renal epithelial cells. Enzyme kinetic parameters for beta-lyase mediated cleavage of 1123-CYS in renal and hepatic cytosolic fractions were determined, and 19F-NMR was used to identify fluorine containing metabolites arising from 1123-CYS cleavage. Quantification of 1123-GSH formation in hepatic S9 fractions after incubation with HFO-1123 was performed by LC-MS/MS and hepatic metabolism of HFO-1123 was monitored by 19F-NMR.
Rates of 1123-GSH formation were increased in rat, mouse and NZW Rabbit compared to human and Goettingen hepatic S9, indicating increased GSH dependent biotransformation in rats, mouse and NZW Rabbits. NZW Rabbit hepatic S9 exhibited increased 1123-GSH formation in the presence compared to the absence of acivicin, a specific gamma-GT inhibitor. This indicates increased gamma-GT mediated cleavage of 1123-GSH in NZW Rabbit hepatic S9 compared to the other species. 19F-NMR confirmed formation of 1123-GSH as the main metabolite of GSH mediated biotransformation of HFO-1123 in hepatic S9 fractions next to F-. Increased F- formation was detected in NZW Rabbit and Goettingen Minipig hepatic S9 in the presence of an NADPH regenerating system, indicating a higher rate of CYP-450 mediated metabolism in these species. Based on these findings, it is possible that CYP-450 mediated metabolism may contribute to HFO-1123 toxicity.
In contrast to the increased formation of 1123-GSH in rat, mouse and NZW Rabbit hepatic S9 (compared to human and Goettingen Minipig), enzyme kinetic studies revealed a significantly higher beta-lyase activity towards 1123-CYS in renal cytosol of Goettingen Minipigs compared to cytosol from rats, mice, humans and NZW Rabbits. However, beta-lyase cleavage in renal NZW Rabbit cytosol was slightly increased compared to rat, mouse and human renal cytosols. 19F-NMR analysis confirmed increased time-dependent formation of MFA in renal Goettingen Minipig cytosol and NZW Rabbit (compared to human and rat cytosolic fractions). Three structurally not defined MFA-derivatives were detected exclusively in NZW Rabbit and Goettingen Minipig cytosols. Also, porcine kidney cells were more sensitive to cytotoxicity of 1123-CYS compared to rat and human kidney cells.
Overall, increased beta-lyase mediate cleavage of 1123-CYS to MFA in Goettingen Minipig and NZW Rabbit kidney (compared to human and rat) may support the hypothesis that enzymatic cleavage by beta-lyases may account for the species-differences in HFO-1123 toxicity. However, the extent of GST mediated biotransformation in the liver as the initial step in HFO-1123 metabolism does not fully agree with this hypothesis, since 1123-GSH formation occurs at higher rates in rat, mouse and NZW Rabbit S9 as compared to the Goettingen Minipig.
Based on the inconsistencies between the extent of GST and beta-lyase mediated biotransformation of HFO-1123 obtained by this study, a decisive statement about an increased biotransformation of HFO-1123 in susceptible species with a direct linkage to the species-specific toxicity cannot be drawn. Resulting from this, a clear and reliable conclusion regarding the risk for human health originating from HFO-1123 cannot be made. However, considering the death of Goettingen Minipigs and NZW Rabbits after inhalation exposure of HFO-1123 at concentrations great than 500 ppm and greater than 1250 ppm, respectively, this indicates a health concern for humans under peak exposure conditions. For a successful registration of HFO-1123 and its use as a refrigerant, further in vitro and in vivo investigations addressing uncertainties in the species-specific toxicity of HFO-1123 are urgently needed.
RBM20 mutations account for 3 % of genetic cardiomypathies and manifest with high penetrance and arrhythmogenic effects. Numerous mutations in the conserved RS domain have been described as causing dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), whereas a particular mutation (p.R634L) drives development of a different cardiac phenotype: left-ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy. We generated a mutation-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line in which the RBM20-LVNC mutation p.R634L was introduced into a DCM patient line with rescued RBM20-p.R634W mutation. These DCM-634L-iPSC can be differentiated into functional cardiomyocytes to test whether this RBM20 mutation induces development of the LVNC phenotype within the genetic context of a DCM patient.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive parenchymal lung disease with limited therapeutic treatments. Pathologically altered lung fibroblasts, called myofibroblasts, exhibit increased proliferation, migration, and collagen production, and drive IPF development and progression. Fibrogenic factors such as Platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) contribute to these pathological alterations. Endogenous counter-regulating factors are barely known. Published studies have described a protective role of exogenously administered C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) in pathological tissue remodeling, for example in heart and liver fibrosis. CNP and its cyclic GMP producing guanylyl cyclase B (GC-B) receptor are expressed in the lungs, but it is unknown whether CNP can attenuate lung fibrosis by this pathway. To address this question, we performed studies in primary cultured lung fibroblasts.
To examine the effects of the CNP/GC-B pathway on PDGF-BB-induced collagen
production, proliferation, and migration in vitro, lung fibroblasts were cultured from wildtype control and GC-B knockout mice. Human lung fibroblasts from patients with IPF and healthy controls were obtained from the UGMLC Biobank. In RIA experiments, CNP, at 10nM and 100nM, markedly and similarly increased cGMP levels in both the murine and human lung fibroblasts, demonstrating GC-B/cGMP signaling. CNP reduced PDGF-BB induced proliferation and migration of lung fibroblasts in BrdU incorporation and gap closure assays, respectively. CNP strongly decreased PDGF-BB-induced collagen 1/3 expression as measured by immunocytochemistry and immunoblotting. Importantly, the protective actions of CNP were preserved in IPF fibroblasts. It is known that the profibrotic actions of PDGF-BB are partly mediated by phosphorylation and nuclear export of Forkhead Box O3 (FoxO3), a transcription factor downregulated in IPF. CNP prevented PDGF-BB elicited FoxO3 phosphorylation and nuclear exclusion in both murine and human control and IPF fibroblasts. CNP signaling and functions were abolished in GC-B-deficient lung fibroblasts.
Taken together, the results show that CNP moderates the PDGF-BB-induced activation and differentiation of human and murine lung fibroblasts to myofibroblasts. This effect is mediated CNP-dependent by GC-B/cGMP signaling and FoxO3 regulation. To follow up the patho-physiological relevance of these results, we are generating mice with fibroblast-restricted GC-B deletion for studies in the model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
The cystine/glutamate antiporter xCT is an important source of cysteine for cancer cells. Once taken up, cystine is reduced to cysteine and serves as a building block for the synthesis of glutathione, which efficiently protects cells from oxidative damage and prevents ferroptosis. As melanomas are particularly exposed to several sources of oxidative stress, we investigated the biological role of cysteine and glutathione supply by xCT in melanoma. xCT activity was abolished by genetic depletion in the Tyr::CreER; Braf\(^{CA}\); Pten\(^{lox/+}\) melanoma model and by acute cystine withdrawal in melanoma cell lines. Both interventions profoundly impacted melanoma glutathione levels, but they were surprisingly well tolerated by murine melanomas in vivo and by most human melanoma cell lines in vitro. RNA sequencing of human melanoma cells revealed a strong adaptive upregulation of NRF2 and ATF4 pathways, which orchestrated the compensatory upregulation of genes involved in antioxidant defence and de novo cysteine biosynthesis. In addition, the joint activation of ATF4 and NRF2 triggered a phenotypic switch characterized by a reduction of differentiation genes and induction of pro-invasive features, which was also observed after erastin treatment or the inhibition of glutathione synthesis. NRF2 alone was capable of inducing the phenotypic switch in a transient manner. Together, our data show that cystine or glutathione levels regulate the phenotypic plasticity of melanoma cells by elevating ATF4 and NRF2.
Besides their central role in haemostasis and thrombosis, platelets are increasingly recognised as versatile effector cells in inflammation, the innate and adaptive immune response, extracellular matrix reorganisation and fibrosis, maintenance of barrier and organ integrity, and host response to pathogens. These platelet functions, referred to as thrombo-inflammation and immunothrombosis, have gained major attention in the COVID-19 pandemic, where patients develop an inflammatory disease state with severe and life-threatening thromboembolic complications. In the CRC/TR 240, a highly interdisciplinary team of basic, translational and clinical scientists explored these emerging roles of platelets with the aim to develop novel treatment concepts for cardiovascular disorders and beyond. We have i) unravelled mechanisms leading to life-threatening thromboembolic complica-tions following vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 with adenoviral vector-based vaccines, ii) identified unrecognised functions of platelet receptors and their regulation, offering new potential targets for pharmacological intervention and iii) developed new methodology to study the biology of megakar-yocytes (MKs), the precursor cells of platelets in the bone marrow, which lay the foundation for the modulation of platelet biogenesis and function. The projects of the CRC/TR 240 built on the unique expertise of our research network and focussed on the following complementary fields: (A) Cell bi-ology of megakaryocytes and platelets and (B) Platelets as regulators and effectors in disease. To achieve this aim, we followed a comprehensive approach starting out from in vitro systems and animal models to clinical research with large prospective patient cohorts and data-/biobanking. Despite the comparably short funding period the CRC/TR 240 discovered basic new mechanisms of platelet biogenesis, signal transduction and effector function and identified potential MK/platelet-specific molecular targets for diagnosis and therapy of thrombotic, haemorrhagic and thrombo-inflammatory disease states.
Humans actively interact with the world through a wide range of body movements. To understand human cognition in its natural state, we need to incorporate ecologically relevant body movement into our account. One fundamental body movement during daily life is natural walking. Despite its ubiquity, the impact of natural walking on brain activity and cognition has remained a realm underexplored.
In electrophysiology, previous studies have shown a robust reduction of ongoing alpha power in the parieto-occipital cortex during body movements. However, what causes the reduction of ongoing alpha, namely whether this is due to body movement or prevalent sensory input changes, was unknown. To clarify this, study 1 was performed to test if the alpha reduction is dependent on visual input. I compared the resting state alpha power during natural walking and standing, in both light and darkness. The results showed that natural walking led to decreased alpha activity over the occipital cortex compared to standing, regardless of the lighting condition. This suggests that the movement-induced modulation of occipital alpha activity is not driven by visual input changes during walking. I argue that the observed alpha power reduction reflects a change in the state of the subject based on disinhibition induced by walking. Accordingly, natural walking might enhance visual processing and other cognitive processes that involve occipital cortical activity.
I first tested this hypothesis in vision. Study 2 was performed to examine the possible effects of natural walking across visual processing stages by assessing various neural markers during different movement states. The findings revealed an amplified early visual response, while a later visual response remain unaffected. A follow-up study 3 replicated the walking-induced enhancement of the early visual evoked potential and showed that the enhancement was dependent on specific stimulus-related parameters (eccentricity, laterality, distractor presence). Importantly, the results provided evidence that the enhanced early visual responses are indeed linked to the modulation of ongoing occipital alpha power. Walking also modulated the stimulus-induced alpha power. Specifically, it showed that when the target appeared in the fovea area without a distractor, walking exhibited a significantly reduced modulation of alpha power, and showed the largest difference to standing condition. This effect of eccentricity indicates that during later visual processing stages, the visual input in the fovea area is less processed than in peripheral areas while walking.
The two visual studies showed that walking leads to an enhancement in temporally early visual processes which can be predicted by the walking-induced change in ongoing alpha oscillation likely marking disinhibition. However, while walking affects neural markers of early sensory processes, it does not necessarily lead to a change in the behavioural outcome of a sensory task. The two visual studies suggested that the behavioural outcome seems to be mainly based on later processing stages.
To test the effects of walking outside the visual domain, I turned to audition in study 4. I investigated the influence of walking in a particular path vs. simply stepping on auditory processing. Specifically, the study tested whether enhanced processing due to natural walking can be found in primary auditory brain activity and whether the processing preferences are dependent on the walking path. In addition, I tested whether the changed spatial processing that was reported in previous visual studies can be seen in the auditory domain. The results showed enhanced sensory processing due to walking in the auditory domain, which was again linked to the modulation of occipital alpha oscillation. The auditory processing was further dependent on the walking path. Additionally, enhanced peripheral sensory processing, as found in vision, was also present in audition.
The findings outside vision supported the idea of natural walking affecting cognition in a rather general way. Therefore in my study 5, I examined the effect of natural walking on higher cognitive processing, namely divergent thinking, and its correlation with the modulation of ongoing alpha oscillation. I analyzed alpha oscillations and behavioural performance during restricted and unrestricted movement conditions while subjects completed a Guilford's alternate uses test. The results showed that natural walking, as well as missing body restriction, reduces the occipital alpha ongoing power independent of the task phase which goes along with higher test scores. The occipital alpha power reduction can therefore be an indicator of a changed state that allows improved higher cognitive processes.
In summary, the research presented in this thesis highlights that natural walking can change different processes in the visual and auditory domain as well as higher cognitive processes. The effect can be attributed to the movement of natural walking itself rather than to changes in sensory input during walking. The results further indicate that the walking-induced modulation of ongoing occipital alpha oscillations drives the cognitive effects. We therefore suggest that walking changes the inhibitory state which can influence awareness and attention. Such a mechanism could facilitate an adaptive enhancement in cognitive processes and thereby optimize movement-related behaviour such as navigation.
