Embryonale Stammzellen (ESCs) sind durch zwei charakteristische Eigenschaften definiert. Neben einer kontinuierlichen Selbsterneuerungskapazität weisen ESCs die Fähigkeit auf, in alle Zelltypen der drei Keimblätter differenzieren zu können. Diese Eigenschaften werden unter anderem durch ein Netzwerk wichtiger Pluripotenzfaktoren als auch durch epigenetische Mechanismen reguliert, welche die Transkription von Pluripotenz- und Differenzierungsgenen kontrollieren.
In murinen ESCs sind an der Repression von Differenzierungsgenen auch Polycomb group (PcG) Proteine beteiligt. Diese Proteine bauen zwei Chromatin-modifizierende Komplexe auf, die als Polycomb repressive complex 1 bzw. 2 (PRC1 bzw. PRC2) bezeichnet werden. Nach dem klassischen Modell der Polycombfunktion, katalysieren PRC1 und PRC2 gemeinsam zwei charakteristische Histonmodifikationen, die zur Repression PRC-spezifischer Zielgene beitragen. Zahlreiche Studien in den letzten Jahren belegen, dass der Proteinaufbau der PRC1 Komplexe stark variieren kann, wobei die Familie der Polycomb group RING finger (Pcgf) Proteine eine wichtige Rolle spielt. In diesem Zusammenhang definieren einzelne Pcgf Paraloge (Pcgf1 – 6) verschiedene PRC1 Varianten (PRC1.1 – 1.6), die Komplex-spezifische Bindestellen im Genom aufweisen. Diese Erkenntnisse lassen auf unterschiedliche Mechanismen der PRC1 Varianten und Pcgf Paralog-spezifische Funktionen schließen, die zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt nur wenig erforscht sind.
Für manche Pcgf Paraloge sind wichtige Rollen in verschiedenen Stammzelltypen und während der iPS Reprogrammierung bekannt. Pcgf1 (Nspc1), Pcgf2 (Mel18) und Pcgf4 (Bmi1) zeigen eine Funktion in verschiedenen adulten Stammzellen. Pcgf4 spielt darüber hinaus eine wichtige Rolle in der murinen iPS Reprogrammierung. Für Pcgf6 (Mblr) wird eine Pluripotenz-assoziierte Funktion angenommen, denn Pcgf6 ist das einzige Pcgf Paralog, das eine erhöhte Expression in murinen ESCs aufweist, die jedoch im Verlauf der ESC-Differenzierung absinkt. Außerdem zeigen murine Pcgf6 KD ESCs eine verminderte Expression der Pluripotenzgene Oct4, Sox2 und Nanog, eine De-Repression mesodermaler und Testes-spezifischer Gene als auch eine erhöhte Tendenz zur hämatopoetischen Differenzierung. Wie genau Pcgf6 an der Regulation dieser Prozesse in murinen ESCs beteiligt ist, ist nicht bekannt.
In der hier vorliegenden Dissertation wurde die Funktion von Pcgf6 in der murinen iPS Reprogrammierung untersucht. Da bereits für Pcgf4 eine Rolle in der Reprogrammierung somatischer Zellen gezeigt wurde und Pcgf6 eine erhöhte Expression in ESCs aufweist, wurde auch für Pcgf6 eine Funktion in der iPS Reprogrammierung angenommen. Zunächst konnte in dieser Arbeit gezeigt werden, dass Pcgf6 während der iPS Reprogrammierung verstärkt exprimiert wird und in iPS Zellen eine ESC-ähnliche Expression aufweist. Darüber hinaus konnte Pcgf6 in Kombination mit Oct4, Klf4 und c-Myc spezifisch den Transkriptionsfaktor Sox2 in der iPS Reprogrammierung ersetzen. Zudem wurden für OPKM-induzierte iPS Zellen charakteristische Eigenschaften pluripotenter Zellen nachgewiesen. Außerdem konnte eine Rolle von Pcgf6 als Enhancer-Faktor für die iPS Reprogrammierung ausgeschlossen werden, da die Überexpression von Pcgf6 zusammen mit den OSKM Faktoren keine additiven Effekte auf die Reprogrammierungseffizienz erzielte. Im Gegensatz dazu führte der Knockdown (KD) von Pcgf6 in embryonalen Mausfibroblasten (MEFs) zu verminderten Effizienzen nach OSKM Reprogrammierung. Darüber hinaus handelte es sich bei der Mehrheit der AP+ Kolonien, die unter Pcgf6 KD Konditionen entstanden, um partiell-reprogrammierte iPS Zellen.
Zusammengefasst zeigen die Ergebnisse der hier vorliegenden Arbeit, dass Pcgf6 ein neuer und essentieller Faktor der iPS Reprogrammierung ist, der in Kombination mit Oct4, Klf4 und c-Myc spezifisch den Transkriptionsfaktor Sox2 ersetzen kann.
Dynamic interactions and their changes are at the forefront of current research in bioinformatics and systems biology. This thesis focusses on two particular dynamic aspects of cellular adaptation: miRNA and metabolites.
miRNAs have an established role in hematopoiesis and megakaryocytopoiesis, and platelet miRNAs have potential as tools for understanding basic mechanisms of platelet function. The thesis highlights the possible role of miRNAs in regulating protein translation in platelet lifespan with relevance to platelet apoptosis and identifying involved pathways and potential key regulatory molecules. Furthermore, corresponding miRNA/target mRNAs in murine platelets are identified. Moreover, key miRNAs involved in aortic aneurysm are predicted by similar techniques. The clinical relevance of miRNAs as biomarkers, targets, resulting later translational therapeutics, and tissue specific restrictors of genes expression in cardiovascular diseases is also discussed.
In a second part of thesis we highlight the importance of scientific software solution development in metabolic modelling and how it can be helpful in bioinformatics tool development along with software feature analysis such as performed on metabolic flux analysis applications. We proposed the “Butterfly” approach to implement efficiently scientific software programming. Using this approach, software applications were developed for quantitative Metabolic Flux Analysis and efficient Mass Isotopomer Distribution Analysis (MIDA) in metabolic modelling as well as for data management. “LS-MIDA” allows easy and efficient MIDA analysis and, with a more powerful algorithm and database, the software “Isotopo” allows efficient analysis of metabolic flows, for instance in pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella, Listeria). All three approaches have been published (see Appendices).
Single-molecule (SM) fluorescence microscopy allows the imaging of biomolecules in cultured cells with a precision of a few nanometres but has yet to be implemented in living adult animals. Here we used split-GFP (green fluorescent protein) fusions and complementation-activated light microscopy (CALM) for subresolution imaging of individual membrane proteins in live Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). In vivo tissue-specific SM tracking of transmembrane CD4 and voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (VDCC) was achieved with a precision of 30 nm within neuromuscular synapses and at the surface of muscle cells in normal and dystrophin-mutant worms. Through diffusion analyses, we reveal that dystrophin is involved in modulating the confinement of VDCC within sarcolemmal membrane nanodomains in response to varying tonus of C. elegans body-wall muscles. CALM expands the applications of SM imaging techniques beyond the petri dish and opens the possibility to explore the molecular basis of homeostatic and pathological cellular processes with subresolution precision, directly in live animals.
