The proteasome of malaria parasites: A multi-stage drug target for chemotherapeutic intervention?
(2012)
The ubiquitin/proteasome system serves as a regulated protein degradation pathway in eukaryotes, and is involved in many cellular processes featuring high protein turnover rates, such as cell cycle control, stress response and signal transduction. In malaria parasites, protein quality control is potentially important because of the high replication rate and the rapid transformations of the parasite during life cycle progression. The proteasome is the core of the degradation pathway, and is a major proteolytic complex responsible for the degradation and recycling of non-functional ubiquitinated proteins. Annotation of the genome for Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of malaria tropica, revealed proteins with similarity to human 26S proteasome subunits. In addition, a bacterial ClpQ/hslV threonine peptidase-like protein was identified. In recent years several independent studies indicated an essential function of the parasite proteasome for the liver, blood and transmission stages. In this review, we compile evidence for protein recycling in Plasmodium parasites and discuss the role of the 26S proteasome as a prospective multi-stage target for antimalarial drug discovery programs.
In this thesis the Drosophila mutant loechrig (loe), that shows progressive degeneration of the nervous system, is further described. Loe is missing a neuronal isoform of the protein kinase AMPK γ subunit (AMP-activated protein kinase- also known as SNF4Aγ) The heterotrimeric AMPK controls the energy level of the cell, which requires constant monitoring of the ATP/AMP levels. It is activated by low energy levels and metabolic insults like oxygen starvation and regulates multiple important signal pathways that control cell metabolism. Still, its role in neuronal survival is unclear. One of AMPK’s downstream targets is HMGR (hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA- reductase), a key enzyme in cholesterol and isoprenoid synthesis. It has been shown that manipulating the levels of HMGR affects the severity of the neurodegenerative phenotype in loe. Whereas the regulatory role of AMPK on HMGR is conserved in Drosophila, insects cannot synthesize cholesterol de novo. However, the synthesis of isoprenoids is a pathway that is evolutionarily conserved between vertebrates and insects. Isoprenylation of target proteins like small G-proteins provides a hydrophobic anchor that allows the association of these proteins with membranes and following activation. This thesis shows that the loe mutation interferes with the prenylation of Rho1 and the regulation of the LIM kinase pathway, which plays an important role in actin turnover and axonal outgrowth. The results suggest that the mutation in LOE, causes hyperactivity of the isoprenoid synthesis pathway, which leads to increased farnesylation of RHO1 and therefore higher levels of phospho-cofilin. A mutation in Rho1 improves the neurodegenerative phenotype and life span. The increased inactive cofilin amount in loe leads to an up regulation of filamentous actin. Actin is involved in neuronal outgrowth and experiments analyzing loe neurons gave valuable insights into a possible role of AMPK and accordingly actin on neurite growth and stability. It was demonstrated that neurons derived from loe mutants exhibit reduces axonal transport suggesting that changes in the cytoskeletal network caused by the effect of loe on the Rho1 pathway lead to disruptions in axonal transport and subsequent neuronal death. It also shows that actin is not only involved in neuronal outgrowth, its also important in maintenance of neurons, suggesting that interference with actin dynamics leads to progressive degeneration of neurons. Together, these results further support the importance of AMPK in neuronal function and survival and provide a novel functional mechanisms how alterations in AMPK can cause neuronal degeneration
The ITS2 Database
(2012)
The internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) has been used as a phylogenetic marker for more than two decades. As ITS2 research mainly focused on the very variable ITS2 sequence, it confined this marker to low-level phylogenetics only. However, the combination of the ITS2 sequence and its highly conserved secondary structure improves the phylogenetic resolution1 and allows phylogenetic inference at multiple taxonomic ranks, including species delimitation.
The ITS2 Database presents an exhaustive dataset of internal transcribed spacer 2 sequences from NCBI GenBank accurately reannotated. Following an annotation by profile Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), the secondary structure of each sequence is predicted. First, it is tested whether a minimum energy based fold (direct fold) results in a correct, four helix conformation. If this is not the case, the structure is predicted by homology modeling. In homology modeling, an already known secondary structure is transferred to another ITS2 sequence, whose secondary structure was not able to fold correctly in a direct fold.
The ITS2 Database is not only a database for storage and retrieval of ITS2 sequence-structures. It also provides several tools to process your own ITS2 sequences, including annotation, structural prediction, motif detection and BLAST search on the combined sequence-structure information. Moreover, it integrates trimmed versions of 4SALE and ProfDistS for multiple sequence-structure alignment calculation and Neighbor Joining tree reconstruction. Together they form a coherent analysis pipeline from an initial set of sequences to a phylogeny based on sequence and secondary structure.
In a nutshell, this workbench simplifies first phylogenetic analyses to only a few mouse-clicks, while additionally providing tools and data for comprehensive large-scale analyses.
To determine the role of striatal dopaminergic innervation on upper limb synergies during walking, we measured arm kinematics in 13 subjects with Parkinson disease. Patients were recruited according to several inclusion criteria to represent the best possible in vivo model of dopaminergic denervation. Of relevance, we included only subjects with normal spatio-temporal parameters of the stride and gait speed to avoid an impairment of upper limbs locomotor synergies as a consequence of gait impairment per se. Dopaminergic innervation of the striatum was measured by FP-CIT and SPECT. All patients showed a reduction of gait-associated arms movement. No linear correlation was found between arm ROM reduction and contralateral dopaminergic putaminal innervation loss. Still, a partition analysis revealed a 80% chance of reduced arm ROM when putaminal dopamine content loss was >47%. A significant correlation was described between the asymmetry indices of the swinging of the two arms and dopaminergic striatal innervation. When arm ROM was reduced, we found a positive correlation between upper-lower limb phase shift modulation ( at different gait velocities) and striatal dopaminergic innervation. These findings are preliminary evidence that dopaminergic striatal tone plays a modulatory role in upper-limb locomotor synergies and upper-lower limb coupling while walking at different velocities.
The Influence of Anticipation and Warnings on Collision Avoidance Behavior of Attentive Drivers
(2012)
This thesis deals with collision avoidance. Focus is on the question of under which conditions collision avoidance works well for humans and if drivers can be supported by a Forward Collision Warning (FCW) System when they do not react appropriately. Forward Collision Warning systems work in a way that tries to focus the driver's attention in the direction of the hazard and evoke an avoidance reaction by some sort of alert (e.g., tone or light). Research on these warning systems generally focuses on inattention and distraction as the cause for crashes. If the driver is inattentive, the results of a crash are thought to be worse as the driver‘s reaction is belated or might not mitigate the crash at all. To ensure effectiveness in the worst case, most of the experiments studying FCW systems have been conducted with visually distracted drivers. Research on the cause and possible countermeasures for crashes of attentive drivers are hardly available, although crash databases and field operational test data show that 40-60% of the drivers look at the forward scene shortly before they crash. Hence, only a few studies elaborated on ideas about the reasons for crashes with attentive drivers. On the basis of the literature, it is worked out that one reason for delayed avoidance behavior can be an incorrect allocation of attention. It is further elaborated that high level attention processes are strongly influenced by interpretation of the situation and the anticipation of future status. Therefore, it is hypothesized that alert drivers react later when they can not foresee a potential threat or even when they misinterpret the situation. If the lack of threat anticipation or incorrect anticipation is a reason for crashes, a FCW system could be a great help, when the FCW is easily comprehensible. It is hypothesized that a FCW can compensate for missing threat anticipation in the driver. The results of the experiments show that the level of threat anticipation has the largest influence on driver behavior in an imminent crash situation. The results further suggest that FCW systems - especially warnings of audible or haptic modality - can help attentive drivers who do not anticipate a threat or misinterpret a situation. The negative influence of missing or mislead threat anticipation on objective measures was small when the threat appeared suddenly. This is thought to be due to the visual appearance of the introduced threat. It is assumed that this type of stimulus triggers a lower level attentional process, as opposed to a top-down attention process controlled by an anticipatory process. In the other scenario types such a lower level process may not be triggered. An important result of the second study is that (Forward) Collision Warnings have to be learned. Participants with warnings reacted slower than participants without any FCW in the first critical event. Participants with a visual warning reacted particularly slow. Later in the experiment, the probands with warnings were constantly faster than their counterparts without them. Hence, the results of this study suggest that a haptic or audible modality should be used as a primary warning to the driver. The characteristic of visual warnings to draw the visual attention is both a blessing and a curse. It is suggested to use the visual warning component for only a short period of time to attract the driver's attention to the forward scene, but then end the display to not further distract him. Car manufacturers try to avoid as many unnecessary alarms as possible. If driver monitoring would be available, it is often planned to suppress warnings when the driver is looking through the windshield. The results suggest not to do so. If a driver reaches a critical situation represented by a low Time-to-collision (TTC) or a high need to decelerate, he should always get a warning, unless he is already braking or steering. The most important arguments for this are: - Looking at the street does not mean that the driver has the correct situational awareness. - The driver has to learn the meaning of the warning. - The driver will not be annoyed by a warning when the situation is considered critical.
BACKGROUND: Climate change will probably alter the spread and transmission intensity of malaria in Africa. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we assessed potential changes in the malaria transmission via an integrated weather disease model.
METHODS: We simulated mosquito biting rates using the Liverpool Malaria Model (LMM). The input data for the LMM were bias-corrected temperature and precipitation data from the regional model (REMO) on a 0.5 degrees latitude longitude grid. A Plasmodium falciparum infection model expands the LMM simulations to incorporate information on the infection rate among children. Malaria projections were carried out with this integrated weather disease model for 2001 to 2050 according to two climate scenarios that include the effect of anthropogenic land-use and land-cover changes on climate.
RESULTS: Model-based estimates for the present climate (1960 to 2000) are consistent with observed data for the spread of malaria in Africa. In the model domain, the regions where malaria is epidemic are located in the Sahel as well as in various highland territories. A decreased spread of malaria over most parts of tropical Africa is projected because of simulated increased surface temperatures and a significant reduction in annual rainfall. However, the likelihood of malaria epidemics is projected to increase in the southern part of the Sahel. In most of East Africa, the intensity of malaria transmission is expected to increase. Projections indicate that highland areas that were formerly unsuitable for malaria will become epidemic, whereas in the lower-altitude regions of the East African highlands, epidemic risk will decrease.
CONCLUSIONS: We project that climate changes driven by greenhouse-gas and land-use changes will significantly affect the spread of malaria in tropical Africa well before 2050. The geographic distribution of areas where malaria is epidemic might have to be significantly altered in the coming decades.
Ovarian cancer currently causes ~6,000 deaths per year in Germany alone. Since only palliative treatment is available for ovarian carcinomas that have developed resistance against platinum-based chemotherapy and paclitaxel, there is a pressing medical need for the development of new therapeutic approaches. As survival is strongly influenced by immunological parameters, immunotherapeutic strategies appear promising. The research of our group thus aims at overcoming tumour immune escape by counteracting immunosuppressive mechanisms in the tumour microenvironment. In this context, we found that tumour-infiltrating myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) or tumour associated macrophages (TAM) which are abundant in ovarian cancer express high levels of the enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase1 (11-HSD1). This oxido-reductase enzyme is essential for the conversion of biologically inactive cortisone into active cortisol. In line with this observation, high endogenous cortisol levels could be detected in serum, ascitic fluid and tumour exudates from ovarian cancer patients. Considering that cortisol exerts strong anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects on immune cells, it appears likely that high endogenous cortisol levels contribute to immune escape in ovarian cancer. We thus hypothesised that local activation of endogenous glucocorticoids could suppress beneficial immune responses in the tumour microenvironment and thereby prevent a successful immunotherapy. To investigate the in vivo relevance of this postulated immune escape mechanism, irradiated PTENloxP/loxP loxP-Stop-loxP-krasG12D mice were reconstituted with hematopoietic stem cells from either glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expressing mice (GRloxP/loxP) or from mice with a T cell-specific glucocorticoid receptor knock-out (lck-Cre GRloxP/loxP) mice. In the host mice, the combination of a conditional PTEN knock-out with a latent oncogenic kras leads to tumour development when a Cre-encoding adenovirus is injected into the ovarian bursa. Using this model, mice that had been reconstituted with GC-insensitive T cells showed better intratumoural T cell infiltration than control mice that had received functionally unaltered GRloxP/loxP cells via adoptive transfer. However, tumour-infiltrating T cells mostly assumed a Foxp3+ (regulatory) phenotype and survival was even shortened in mice with cortisol-insensitive T cells. Thus, endogenous cortisol seems to inhibit immune cell infiltration in ovarian cancer, but productive anti-tumour immune responses might still be prevented by further factors from the tumour microenvironment. Thus, our data did not provide a sufficiently strong rationale to further pursue the antagonisation of glucocorticoid signalling in ovarian cancer patients, Moreover, glucocorticoids are frequently administered to cancer patients to reduce inflammation and swelling and to prevent chemotherapy-related toxic side effects like nausea or hypersensitivity reactions associated with paclitaxel therapy. Thus, we decided to address the question whether specific signalling pathways in innate immune cells, preferentially in NK cells, could still be activated even in the presence of GC. A careful investigation of the various activating NK cell receptors (i.e. NKp30, NKp44, NKp46), DNAM-1 and NKG2D) was thus performed which revealed that NKp30, NKp44 and NKG2D are all down-regulated by cortisol whereas NKp46 is actually induced by cortisol. Interestingly, NKp46 is the only known receptor that is strictly confined to NK cells. Its activation via crosslinking leads to cytokine release and activation of cytotoxic activity. Stimulation of NK cells via NKp46 may contribute to immune-mediated tumour destruction by triggering the lysis of tumour cells and by altering the cytokine pattern in the tumour microenvironment, thereby generating more favourable conditions for the recruitment of antigen-specific immune cells. Accordingly, our observation that even cortisol-treated NK cells can still be activated via NKp46 and CD2 might become valuable for the design of immunotherapies that can still be applied in the presence of endogenous or therapeutically administered glucocorticoids.
The GTPase ARFRP1 controls the lipidation of chylomicrons in the Golgi of the intestinal epithelium
(2012)
The uptake and processing of dietary lipids by the small intestine is a multistep process that involves several steps including vesicular and protein transport. The GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor-related protein 1 (ARFRP1) controls the ARF-like 1 (ARL1)-mediated Golgi recruitment of GRIP domain proteins which in turn bind several Rab-GTPases. Here, we describe the essential role of ARFRP1 and its interaction with Rab2 in the assembly and lipidation of chylomicrons in the intestinal epithelium. Mice lacking Arfrp1 specifically in the intestine \((Arfrp1^{vil−/−})\) exhibit an early post-natal growth retardation with reduced plasma triacylglycerol and free fatty acid concentrations. \(Arfrp1^{vil−/−}\) enterocytes as well as Arfrp1 mRNA depleted Caco-2 cells absorbed fatty acids normally but secreted chylomicrons with a markedly reduced triacylglycerol content. In addition, the release of apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) was dramatically decreased, and ApoA-I accumulated in the \(Arfrp1^{vil−/−}\) epithelium, where it predominantly co-localized with Rab2. The release of chylomicrons from Caco-2 was markedly reduced after the suppression of Rab2, ARL1 and Golgin-245. Thus, the GTPase ARFRP1 and its downstream proteins are required for the lipidation of chylomicrons and the assembly of ApoA-I to these particles in the Golgi of intestinal epithelial cells.
The adult form of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (aADHD) has a prevalence of up to 5% and is the most severe long-term outcome of this common neurodevelopmental disorder. Family studies in clinical samples suggest an increased familial liability for aADHD compared with childhood ADHD (cADHD), whereas twin studies based on self-rated symptoms in adult population samples show moderate heritability estimates of 30–40%. However, using multiple sources of information, the heritability of clinically diagnosed aADHD and cADHD is very similar. Results of candidate gene as well as genome-wide molecular genetic studies in aADHD samples implicate some of the same genes involved in ADHD in children, although in some cases different alleles and different genes may be responsible for adult versus childhood ADHD. Linkage studies have been successful in identifying loci for aADHD and led to the identification of LPHN3 and CDH13 as novel genes associated with ADHD across the lifespan. In addition, studies of rare genetic variants have identified probable causative mutations for aADHD. Use of endophenotypes based on neuropsychology and neuroimaging, as well as next-generation genome analysis and improved statistical and bioinformatic analysis methods hold the promise of identifying additional genetic variants involved in disease etiology. Large, international collaborations have paved the way for well-powered studies. Progress in identifying aADHD risk genes may provide us with tools for the prediction of disease progression in the clinic and better treatment, and ultimately may help to prevent persistence of ADHD into adulthood.
During the past years, the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) was established as a commonly used molecular phylogenetic marker for the eukaryotes. Its fast evolving sequence is predestinated for the use in low-level phylogenetics. However, the ITS2 also consists of a very conserved secondary structure. This enables the discrimination between more distantly related species. The combination of both in a sequence-structure based analysis increases the resolution of the marker and enables even more robust tree reconstructions on a broader taxonomic range. But, performing such an analysis required the application of different programs and databases making the use of the ITS2 non trivial for the typical biologist. To overcome this hindrance, I have developed the ITS2 Workbench, a completely web-based tool for automated phylogenetic sequence-structure analyses using the ITS2 (http://its2.bioapps.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de). The development started with an optimization of length modelling topologies for Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), which were successfully applied on a secondary structure prediction model of the ITS2 marker. Here, structure is predicted by considering the sequences' composition in combination with the length distribution of different helical regions. Next, I integrated HMMs into the sequence-structure generation process for the delineation of the ITS2 within a given sequence. This re-implemented pipeline could more than double the number of structure predictions and reduce the runtime to a few days. Together with further optimizations of the homology modelling process I can now exhaustively predict secondary structures in several iterations. These modifications currently provide 380,000 annotated sequences including 288,000 structure predictions. To include these structures in the calculation of alignments and phylogenetic trees, I developed the R-package "treeforge". It generates sequence-structure alignments on up to four different coding alphabets. For the first time also structural bonds were considered in alignments, which required the estimation of new scoring matrices. Now, the reconstruction of Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood as well as Neighbour Joining trees on all four alphabets requires just a few lines of code. The package was used to resolve the controversial chlorophyceaen dataset and could be integrated into future versions of the ITS2 workbench. The platform is based on a modern, feature-rich Web 2.0 user interface equipped with the latest AJAX and Web-service technologies. It performs HMM-based sequence annotation, structure prediction by energy minimization or homology modelling, alignment calculation and tree reconstruction on a flexible data pool that repeats calculations according to data changes. Further, it provides sequence motif detection to control annotation and structure prediction and a sequence-structure based BLAST search, which facilitates the taxon sampling process. All features and the usage of the ITS2 workbench are explained in a video tutorial. However, the workbench bears some limitations regarding the size of datasets. This is caused mainly due to the immense computational power needed for such extensive calculations. To demonstrate the validity of the approach also for large-scale analyses, a fully automated reconstruction of the Chlorophyta (Green Algal) Tree of Life was performed. The successful application of the marker even on large datasets underlines the capabilities of ITS2 sequence-structure analysis and suggests its utilization on further datasets. The ITS2 workbench provides an excellent starting point for such endeavours.
Based on genetic association and functional imaging studies, reduced function of tryptophan hydroxylase-2 (TPH2) has been shown to be critically involved in the pathophysiology of anxiety-disorders and depression. In order to elucidate the impact of a complete neuronal 5-HT deficiency, mice with a targeted inactivation of the gene encoding Tph2 were generated. Interestingly, survival of Tph2-/- mice, the formation of serotonergic neurons and the pathfinding of their projections was not impaired. Within this thesis, I investigated the influence of 5-HT deficiency on the γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) system. The GABAergic system is implicated in the pathophysiology of anxiety disorders. Therefore, measurement of GABA concentrations in different limbic brain regions was carried out. These measurements were combined with immunohistochemical estimation of GABAergic cell subpopulations in the dorsal hippocampus and amygdala. In Tph2-/- mice GABA concentrations were increased exclusively in the dorsal hippocampus. In heterozygous Tph2+/- mice concentrations of GABA were increased in the amygdala compared to Tph2-/- and wt control mice, while the reverse was found in the prefrontal cortex. The changes in GABA concentrations were accompanied by altered cell density of GABAergic neurons within the basolateral complex of the amygdala and parvalbumin (PV) neurons of the dorsal hippocampus and by adaptational changes of 5-HT receptors. Thus, adaptive changes during the development on the GABA system may reflect altered anxiety-like and depressive-like behavior in adulthood. Moreover, chronic mild stress (CMS) rescues the depressive-like effects induced by 5-HT deficiency. In contrast, 5-HT is important in mediating an increased innate anxiety-like behavior under CMS conditions. This is in line with a proposed dual role of 5-HT acting through different mechanisms on anxiety and depressive-like behavior, which is influenced by gene-environment interaction effects. Further research is needed to disentangle these complex networks in the future.
Background: One of the most common types of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) is called a P300 BCI, since it relies on the P300 and other event-related potentials (ERPs). In the canonical P300 BCI approach, items on a monitor flash briefly to elicit the necessary ERPs. Very recent work has shown that this approach may yield lower performance than alternate paradigms in which the items do not flash but instead change in other ways, such as moving, changing colour or changing to characters overlaid with faces.
Methodology/Principal Findings: The present study sought to extend this research direction by parametrically comparing different ways to change items in a P300 BCI. Healthy subjects used a P300 BCI across six different conditions. Three conditions were similar to our prior work, providing the first direct comparison of characters flashing, moving, and changing to faces. Three new conditions also explored facial motion and emotional expression. The six conditions were compared across objective measures such as classification accuracy and bit rate as well as subjective measures such as perceived difficulty. In line with recent studies, our results indicated that the character flash condition resulted in the lowest accuracy and bit rate. All four face conditions (mean accuracy >91%) yielded significantly better performance than the flash condition (mean accuracy = 75%).
Conclusions/Significance: Objective results reaffirmed that the face paradigm is superior to the canonical flash approach that has dominated P300 BCIs for over 20 years. The subjective reports indicated that the conditions that yielded better performance were not considered especially burdensome. Therefore, although further work is needed to identify which face paradigm is best, it is clear that the canonical flash approach should be replaced with a face paradigm when aiming at increasing bit rate. However, the face paradigm has to be further explored with practical applications particularly with locked-in patients.
Background: Invasion of intestinal epithelial cells by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) requires expression of the extracellular virulence gene expression programme (STEX), activation of which is dependent on the signalling molecule guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp). Recently, next-generation transcriptomics (RNA-seq) has revealed the unexpected complexity of bacterial transcriptomes and in this report we use differential RNA sequencing (dRNA-seq) to define the high-resolution transcriptomic architecture of wildtype S. Typhimurium and a ppGpp null strain under growth conditions which model STEX. In doing so we show that ppGpp plays a much wider role in regulating the S. Typhimurium STEX primary transcriptome than previously recognised.
Results: Here we report the precise mapping of transcriptional start sites (TSSs) for 78% of the S. Typhimurium open reading frames (ORFs). The TSS mapping enabled a genome-wide promoter analysis resulting in the prediction of 169 alternative sigma factor binding sites, and the prediction of the structure of 625 operons. We also report the discovery of 55 new candidate small RNAs (sRNAs) and 302 candidate antisense RNAs (asRNAs). We discovered 32 ppGpp-dependent alternative TSSs and determined the extent and level of ppGpp-dependent coding and non-coding transcription. We found that 34% and 20% of coding and non-coding RNA transcription respectively was ppGpp-dependent under these growth conditions, adding a further dimension to the role of this remarkable small regulatory molecule in enabling rapid adaptation to the infective environment.
Conclusions: The transcriptional architecture of S. Typhimurium and finer definition of the key role ppGpp plays in regulating Salmonella coding and non-coding transcription should promote the understanding of gene regulation in this important food borne pathogen and act as a resource for future research.
In this thesis, the electronic transport properties of mesoscopic condensed matter systems based on graphene are investigated by means of numerical as well as analytical methods. In particular, it is analyzed how the concepts of quantum interference and disorder, which are essential to mesoscopic devices in general, are affected by the unique electronic and transport properties of the graphene material system. We consider the famous Aharonov–Bohm effect in ring-shaped transport geometries, and, besides providing an overview over the recent developments on the subject, we study the signatures of fundamental phenomena such as Klein tunneling and specular Andreev reflection, which are specific to graphene, in the magnetoconductance oscillations. To this end, we introduce and utilize a variant of the well-known recursive Green’s function technique, which is an efficient numerical method for the calculation of transport observables in effectively non-interacting open quantum systems in the framework of a tight binding model. This technique is also applied to study the effects of a specific kind of disorder, namely short-range resonant scatterers, such as strongly bound adatoms or molecules, that can be modeled as vacancies in the graphene lattice. This numerical analysis of the conductance in the presence of resonant scatterers in graphene leads to a non-trivial classification of impurity sites in the graphene lattice and is further substantiated by an independent analytical treatment in the framework of the Dirac equation. The present thesis further contains a formal introduction to the topic of non-equilibrium quantum transport as appropriate for the development of the numerical technique mentioned above, a general introduction to the physics of graphene with a focus on the particular phenomena investigated in this work, and a conclusion where the obtained results are summarized and open questions as well as potential future developments are highlighted.
Background: CEACAM3 is a granulocyte receptor mediating the opsonin-independent recognition and phagocytosis of human-restricted CEACAM-binding bacteria. CEACAM3 function depends on an intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-like sequence that is tyrosine phosphorylated by Src family kinases upon receptor engagement. The phosphorylated ITAM-like sequence triggers GTP-loading of Rac by directly associating with the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) Vav. Rac stimulation in turn is critical for actin cytoskeleton rearrangements that generate lamellipodial protrusions and lead to bacterial uptake.
Principal Findings: In our present study we provide biochemical and microscopic evidence that the adaptor proteins Nck1 and Nck2, but not CrkL, Grb2 or SLP-76, bind to tyrosine phosphorylated CEACAM3. The association is phosphorylation-dependent and requires the Nck SH2 domain. Overexpression of the isolated Nck1 SH2 domain, RNAi-mediated knock-down of Nck1, or genetic deletion of Nck1 and Nck2 interfere with CEACAM3-mediated bacterial internalization and with the formation of lamellipodial protrusions. Nck is constitutively associated with WAVE2 and directs the actin nucleation promoting WAVE complex to tyrosine phosphorylated CEACAM3. In turn, dominant-negative WAVE2 as well as shRNA-mediated knock-down of WAVE2 or the WAVE-complex component Nap1 reduce internalization of bacteria.
Conclusions: Our results provide novel mechanistic insight into CEACAM3-initiated phagocytosis. We suggest that the CEACAM3 ITAM-like sequence is optimized to co-ordinate a minimal set of cellular factors needed to efficiently trigger actin-based lamellipodial protrusions and rapid pathogen engulfment.
The 2007 flood in the Sahel: causes, characteristics and its presentation in the media and FEWS NET
(2012)
During the rainy season in 2007, reports about exceptional rains and floodings in the Sahel were published in the media, especially in August and September. Institutions and organizations like the World Food Programme (WFP) and FEWS NET put the events on the agenda and released alerts and requested help. The partly controversial picture was that most of the Sahel faced a crisis caused by widespread floodings. Our study shows that the rainy season in 2007 was exceptional with regard to rainfall amount and return periods. In many areas the event had a return period between 1 and 50 yr with high spatial heterogeneity, with the exception of the Upper Volta basin, which yielded return periods of up to 1200 yr. Despite the strong rainfall, the interpretation of satellite images show that the floods were mainly confined to lakes and river beds. However, the study also proves the difficulties in assessing the meteorological processes and the demarcation of flooded areas in satellite images without ground truthing. These facts and the somewhat vague and controversial reports in the media and FEWS NET demonstrate that it is crucial to thoroughly analyze such events at a regional and local scale involving the local population.
As recently reviewed, 1026 neuroprotective drug candidates in stroke research have all failed on their road towards validation and clinical translation, reasons being quality issues in preclinical research and publication bias. Quality control guidelines for preclinical stroke studies have now been established. However, sufficient understanding of the underlying mechanisms of neuronal death after stroke that could be possibly translated into new therapies is lacking. One exception is the hypothesis that cellular death is mediated by oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is defined as an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from different possible enzymatic sources. Among these, NADPH oxidases (NOX1-5) stand out as they represent the only known enzyme family that has no other function than to produce ROS. Based on data from different NOX knockout mouse models in ischemic stroke, the most relevant isoform appears to be NOX4. Here we discuss the state-of-the-art of this target with respect to stroke and open questions that need to be addressed on the path towards clinical translation.
Background The levels and clinical relevance of Th17 cells and other interleukin-17-producing cells have not been analyzed in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The objective of this study was to quantify blood and tissue levels of Th17 and other interleukin-17-producing cells in patients with this disease and correlate blood levels with clinical outcome.
Design and Methods: Intracellular interleukin-17A was assessed in blood and splenic mononuclear cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and healthy subjects using flow cytometry. Interleukin-17A-producing cells were analyzed in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded spleen and lymph node sections using immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence.
Results: The absolute numbers of Th17 cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and the percentages of Th17 cells in spleen cell suspensions were higher in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia than in healthy subjects; in six out of eight paired chronic lymphocytic leukemia blood and spleen sample comparisons, Th17 cells were enriched in spleen suspensions. Circulating Th17 levels correlated with better prognostic markers and longer overall survival of the patients. Two "non-Th17" interleukin-17-expressing cells were identified in chronic lymphocytic leukemia spleens: proliferating cells of the granulocytic lineage and mature mast cells. Granulocytes and mast cells in normal spleens did not express interleukin-17. Conversely, both chronic lymphocytic leukemia and healthy lymph nodes contained similar numbers of interleukin-17+ mast cells as well as Th17 cells.
Conclusions: Th17 cells are elevated in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients with better prognostic markers and correlate with longer survival. Furthermore, non-Th17 interleukin-17A-expressing cells exist in chronic lymphocytic leukemia spleens as maturing granulocytes and mature mast cells, suggesting that the microenvironmental milieu in leukemic spleens promotes the recruitment and/or expansion of Th17 and other IL-17-expressing cells. The pathophysiology of Th17 and non-Th17-interleukin-producing cells in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and their distributions and roles in this disease merit further study.
This paper seeks to unify two major theories of moral judgment: Kohlberg's stage theory and Anderson's moral information integration theory. Subjects were told about thoughts of actors in Kohlberg's classic altruistic Heinz dilemma and in a new egoistical dilemma. These actors's thoughts represented Kohlberg's stages I (Personal Risk) and IV (Societal Risk) and had three levels, High, Medium, and Low. They were presented singly and in a 3 x 3 integration design. Subjects judged how many months of prison the actor deserved. The data supported the averaging model of moral integration theory, whereas Kohlberg's theory has no way to handle the integration problem. Following this, subjects ranked statements related to Kohlberg's first four stages in a procedure similar to that of Rest (1975). Higher score went with larger effect of Societal Risk as predicted by Kohlberg's theory. But contrary to Kohlberg's theory, no age trends were found. Also strongly contrary to Kohlberg's theory, effects of Personal Risk (Stage I) and Societal Risk (Stage IV) correlated positively.
Terahertz electromagnetic fields are non-ionizing electromagnetic fields in the frequency range from 0.1 to 10 THz. Potential applications of these electromagnetic fields include the whole body scanners, which currently apply millimeter waves just below the terahertz range, but future scanners will use higher frequencies in the terahertz range. These and other applications will bring along human exposure to these fields. Up to now, only a limited number of investigations on biological effects of terahertz electromagnetic fields have been performed. Therefore, research is strongly needed to enable reliable risk assessment. Cells were exposed for 2 h, 8 h, and 24 h with different power intensities ranging from 0.04 mW/cm2 to 2 mW/cm2, representing levels below, at, and above current safety limits. Genomic damage on the chromosomal level was measured as micronucleus formation. DNA strand breaks and alkali-labile sites were quantified with the comet assay. No DNA strand breaks or alkali-labile sites were observed as a consequence of exposure to terahertz electromagnetic fields in the comet assay. The fields did not cause chromosomal damage in the form of micronucleus induction.
The second-order correlation function g\(^2\)(\(\tau\) = 0), input-output curves and pulse duration of the emission from a microcavity exciton-polariton system subsequent to picosecond-pulsed excitation are measured for different temperatures. At low temperatures a two-threshold behaviour emerges, which has been attributed to the onset of polariton lasing and conventional lasing at the first and the second threshold, respectively. We observe that polariton lasing is stable up to temperatures comparable with the exciton binding energy. At higher temperatures a single threshold displays the direct transition from thermal emission to photon lasing.
Diese Arbeit befasste sich mit der Analyse geschlechtsspezifischer Besonder-heiten des Metabolismus von Proteaseinhibitoren. Insbesondere wurde auf die Pharmakokinetik des ATV und LPV eingegangen, außerdem wurden die Dosierungen der Medikamente, die Wirksamkeit und die Nebenwirkungen untersucht. Hierzu waren n=152 HIV-positive Patienten eingeschlossen, wovon n=96 Patienten mit LPV therapiert wurden; n=56 nahmen ATV ein. Insgesamt waren n=127 Probanden (83,55%) männlich und n=25 (16,45%) weiblich. Die Studie wurde im Sinne einer retrospektiven Längsschnittuntersuchung durchgeführt. Es ließen sich bei beiden PIs keine Unterschiede der Plasmaspiegel der Männer und Frauen ausmachen. Ebenfalls waren im Langzeitverlauf keine signifikanten Schwankungen der Spiegel beider Geschlechter zu beobachten. Die interindividuelle Schwankung betrug bei der ATV-Beobachtung 22,1% (Männer) und 51,4% (Frauen) und bei der LPV-Studie 13,2% (Männer) und 30,1% (Frauen). Die intraindividuelle Schwankung war höher und ergab beim ATV-Kollektiv 57,7% (Männern) und 39,7% (Frauen) und beim LPV-Arm 42,8% (Männer) und 41,4% (Frauen). Im Vergleich der Geschlechter ließ sich sowohl im ATV- als auch im LPV-Kollektiv bei beiden Geschlechtern die mittlere Dosis pro Kilogramm Körperge-wicht nicht signifikant mit den Plasmaspiegeln korrelieren. In der ATV-Beobachtung erhalten die Frauen signifikant niedrigere Dosierungen (p=0,000*), im Gegensatz zu der LPV-Beobachtung, in der die Frauen signifikant höhere Dosierung (p=0,000*) bekommen. Die Wirksamkeit wurde zum einen durch den Abfall der Viruslast bestimmt. Hier ließ sich ein wesentlicher (p=0,000*) Abfall nach einem Monat bei ATV und LPV beobachten. Zum anderen war der Anstieg der CD4-Zellen im ATV-Kollektiv bei den Männern zu beobachten (p=0,000*). Im LPV-Kollektiv stiegen sie innerhalb eines Monats bei beiden Geschlechtern signifikant (p=0,000*) an. Das Bilirubin stieg bei der ATV-Beobachtung innerhalb eines Monats signifikant (p=0,000*) an und wies bei beiden Geschlechtern eine wesentliche Korrelation mit den Plasmaspiegeln auf, mit einem p-Wert von 0,017* für die Männer und einem p-Wert von 0,000* für die Frauen. Die GOT- und GPT-Studie zeigte hinsichtlich der Langzeitbeobachtung und der Korrelation mit den Spiegeln bei keinem Medikament eine Auffälligkeit. Die Beobachtung der gGT-Werte ergab einen signifikanten Abfall der Werte nach sechs Monaten beim ATV-Kollektiv (0,025*). Das HDL stieg nach drei Monaten bei der ATV-Gruppe signifikant an (p=0,000*), sowie bei der LPV-Gruppe nach einem Monat (p=0,000*). Beim LDL verhielt sich der Anstieg ähnlich, hier gab es beim ATV nach drei Monaten einen p-Wert von 0,008* und beim LPV nach einem Monat einen von 0,033*. Außerdem verhielt sich bei der LPV-Beobachtung die Korrelation der LDL-Werte der Frauen mit den LPV-Spiegeln signifikant (p=0,012*). Ebenfalls ließen sich beim TRG wesentliche Anstiege verzeichnen, so war die-ses Ergebnis beim ATV nach sechs Monaten mit einem p-Wert von 0,030* und beim LPV nach einem Monat mit einem p-Wert von 0,000* zu beweisen. Das Cholesterin stieg bei der LPV-Beobachtung innerhalb eines Monats signifi-kant an (p=0,000) und war auch bei den Frauen wesentlich mit den Plas-maspiegeln zu korrelieren (p=0,013*). Insgesamt waren nur bei drei der oben genannten Kategorien Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern zu beobachten. Dies waren zum einen die CD4-Zellen, denn hier ergab sich bei den Männern eine signifikant höhere Anzahl (p=0,038*). Weiterhin war der Bilirubinwert der Männer höher als der der Frau-en (p=0,000*). Zuletzt wiesen die Männer auch einen höheren TRG-Wert auf (p=0,009*). Schlussfolgernd ist die Aussage möglich, dass sich in dieser Langzeitbeobach-tung geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede zwischen Männern und Frauen bezüglich der ATV- und LPV-Plasmaspiegel ausschließen lassen. Weiterhin ist auch im Langzeitverlauf kein signifikanter Unterschied zwischen Männern und Frauen im Ansprechen auf die Therapie oder in der Häufigkeit von unerwünschten Ereignissen während der Therapie zu beobachten.
HEY bHLH transcription factors have been shown to regulate multiple key steps in cardiovascular development. They can be induced by activated NOTCH receptors, but other upstream stimuli mediated by TGFß and BMP receptors may elicit a similar response. While the basic and helix-loop-helix domains exhibit strong similarity, large parts of the proteins are still unique and may serve divergent functions. The striking overlap of cardiac defects in HEY2 and combined HEY1/HEYL knockout mice suggested that all three HEY genes fulfill overlapping function in target cells. We therefore sought to identify target genes for HEY proteins by microarray expression and ChIPseq analyses in HEK293 cells, cardiomyocytes, and murine hearts. HEY proteins were found to modulate expression of their target gene to a rather limited extent, but with striking functional interchangeability between HEY factors. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed a much greater number of potential binding sites that again largely overlap between HEY factors. Binding sites are clustered in the proximal promoter region especially of transcriptional regulators or developmental control genes. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that HEY proteins primarily act as direct transcriptional repressors, while gene activation seems to be due to secondary or indirect effects. Mutagenesis of putative DNA binding residues supports the notion of direct DNA binding. While class B E-box sequences (CACGYG) clearly represent preferred target sequences, there must be additional and more loosely defined modes of DNA binding since many of the target promoters that are efficiently bound by HEY proteins do not contain an Ebox motif. These data clearly establish the three HEY bHLH factors as highly redundant transcriptional repressors in vitro and in vivo, which explains the combinatorial action observed in different tissues with overlapping expression.
Recent development of proteomic approaches and generation of large-scale proteomic datasets calls for new methods for biological interpretation of the obtained results. Systems biological approaches such as integrated network analysis and functional module search have become an essential part of proteomic investigation. Proteomics is especially applied in anucleate cells such as platelets. The underlying molecular mechanisms of platelet activation and their pharmacological modulation are of immense importance for clinical research. Advances in platelet proteomics have provided a large amount of proteomic data, which has not yet been comprehensively investigated in a systems biological perspective. To this end, I assembled platelet specific data from proteomic and transcriptomic studies by detailed manual curation and worked on the generation of a comprehensive human platelet repository for systems biological analysis of platelets in the functional context of integrated networks (PlateletWeb) (http:/PlateletWeb.bioapps.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de). I also added platelet-specific experimentally validated phosphorylation data and generated kinase predictions for 80% of the newly identified platelet phosphosites. The combination of drug, disease and pathway information with phosphorylation and interaction data makes this database the first integrative platelet platform available for platelet research. PlateletWeb contains more than 5000 platelet proteins, which can also be analyzed and visualized in a network context, allowing identification of all major signaling modules involved in platelet activation and inhibition. Using the wealth of integrated data I performed a series of platelet-specific analyses regarding the platelet proteome, pathways, drug targets and novel platelet phosphorylation events involved in crucial signaling events. I analyzed the statistical enrichment of known pathways for platelet proteins and identified endocytosis as a highly represented pathway in platelets. Further results revealed that highly connected platelet proteins are more often targeted by drugs. Using integrated network analysis offered by PlateletWeb, I analyzed the crucial activation signaling pathway of adenosine diphosphate (ADP), visualizing how the signal flow from receptors to effectors is maintained. My work on integrin inside-out signaling was also based on the integrated network approach and examined new platelet-specific phosphorylation sites and their regulation using kinase predictions. I generated hypothesis on integrin signaling, by investigating the regulation of Ser269 phosphorylation site on the docking protein 1 (DOK1). This phosphorylation site may influence the inhibiting effect of DOK1 on integrin a2bb3. Extending the integrated network approach to further cell lines, I used the assembled human interactome information for the analysis of functional modules in cellular networks. The investigation was performed with a previously developed module detection algorithm, which finds maximum-scoring subgraphs in transcriptomic datasets by using assigned values to the network nodes. We extended the algorithm to qualitative proteomic datasets and enhanced the module search by adding functional information to the network edges to concentrate the solution onto modules with high functional similarity. I performed a series of analyses to validate its performance in small-sized (virus-infected gastric cells) and medium-sized networks (human lymphocytes). In both cases the algorithm extracted characteristic modules of sample proteins with high functional similarity. The functional module search is especially useful in site-specific phosphoproteomic datasets, where kinase regulation of the detected sites is often sparse or lacking. Therefore, I used the module detection algorithm in quantitative phosphoproteomic datasets. In a platelet phosphorylation dataset, I presented a pipeline for network analysis of detected phosphorylation sites. In a second approach, the functional module detecting algorithm was used on a phosphoproteome network of human embryonic stem cells, in which nodes represented the maximally changing phosphorylation sites in the experiment. Additional kinases from the human phosphoproteome in PlateletWeb were included to the network to investigate the regulation of the signal flow. Results indicated important phosphorylation sites and their upstream kinases and explained changes observed in embryonic stem cells during differentiation. This work presents novel approaches for integrated network analysis in cells and introduces for the first time a systematic biological investigation of the human platelet proteome based on the platelet-specific knowledge base PlateletWeb. The extended methods for optimized functional module detection offer an invaluable tool for exploring proteomic datasets and covering gaps in complex large-scale data analysis. By combining exact module detection approaches with functional information data between interacting proteins, characteristic functional modules with high functional resemblance can be extracted from complex datasets, thereby focusing on important changes in the observed networks.
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) ist eine vererbte Form der Erblindung, die durch eine progressive Degeneration von Photorezeptorzellen in der Retina verursacht wird. Neben „klassischen“ RP-Krankheitsgenen, die direkt oder indirekt mit dem Sehprozess und der Aufrechterhaltung der Photorezeptoren in Verbindung stehen, können auch Mutationen in Genen für konstitutive Spleißfaktoren zur Photorezeptordegeneration führen. RP kann daher als Paradebeispiel einer Erkrankung mit paradoxer Gewebespezifität angesehen werden: Defekte in essentiellen und ubiquitär exprimierten Genen führen zu einem Phänotyp, der nur wenige Zelltypen betrifft. Um Einblicke in diesen außergewöhnlichen Pathomechanismus zu erhalten, wurde im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit ein Tiermodell für Spleißfaktor-vermittelte RP im Zebrafisch Danio rerio etabliert. Zunächst wurde gezeigt, dass eine RP verursachende Punktmutation des Spleißfaktors Prpf31 auch in dessen Zebrafisch-Homolog zu einem Verlust der physiologischen Aktivität führt. Als Modell für die Prpf31-Mangelsituation diente dann die durch ein Antisense-Morpholino induzierte partielle Reduktion der Prpf31-Expression in Zebrafischlarven. Konsistent mit einem RP-Phänotyp zeigte sich in diesen Larven eine starke Beeinträchtigung des Sehvermögens. Sie wurde – ebenfalls analog zu RP – durch defekte Photorezeptoren verursacht, die bei ansonsten normal entwickelter Retina eine deutlich veränderte Morphologie aufwiesen. Daraufhin konnten in einer genomweiten Transkriptomanalyse der Augen von Prpf31-defizienten Larven erstmals in vivo photorezeptorspezifische Gene identifiziert werden, deren Expression durch den Mangel an Prpf31 beeinträchtigt war. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wurde untersucht, ob es neben den bereits bekannten RP-Krankheitsgenen weitere Spleißfaktoren gibt, deren Defekt die Degeneration von Photorezeptoren auslösen kann. Dazu wurde in Zebrafischlarven ein Mangel an Prpf4 erzeugt, einem Spleißfaktor, der bislang nicht mit RP in Verbindung gebracht worden war. Der Phänotyp dieser Fische war nicht von dem des Prpf31 RP-Modells zu unterscheiden. Dies lieferte einen Hinweis darauf, dass auch Defekte in Prpf4 in der Lage sein könnten, RP auszulösen. Tatsächlich konnte durch genetisches Screening ein RP-Patient mit einer Punktmutation in Prpf4 identifiziert werden (Kollaboration mit Hanno Bolz, Universität Köln). Die biochemische Analyse dieser Mutation zeigte, dass sie zu einem Defekt der Integration von Prpf4 in spleißosomale Untereinheiten und zu dessen Funktionsverlust in vivo führt. Mit dem in dieser Arbeit etablierten Tiermodell konnte zum ersten Mal in vivo ein von Spleißfaktor-Mutationen verursachter Pathomechanismus von Retinitis pigmentosa nachvollzogen werden. Die vom Prpf31-Mangel betroffenen Photorezeptortranskripte stellen vielversprechende Kandidaten für die Vermittlung der Gewebespezifität dar und unterstützen die Hypothese, dass ihre ineffiziente Prozessierung den RP-Phänotyp auslöst. Die Entdeckung eines weiteren Spleißfaktors, dessen Defizienz ebenfalls zu defekten Photorezeptoren führt, zeigt, dass offenbar der Funktionsverlust des Spleißosoms generell in der Lage ist, die Degeneration dieser Zellen zu verursachen. Dies ist nicht zuletzt auch von klinischer Relevanz, da vermutet werden kann, dass sich unter den vielen bisher nicht identifizierten RP-Krankheitsgenen weitere Spleißfaktoren befinden.
This thesis concerns (i) the synthesis and olfactory characterisation of silicon-containing analogues of the musk odourant phantolide, (ii) the synthesis and pharmacological investigation of silicon-containing analogues of retinoids of the EC23 and TTNN type and (iii) the attempted syntheses of silicon-containing analogues of the antipsychotic penfluridol and the antidiarrhoeal agent loperamide. All target compounds and intermediates were characterised by multinuclear NMR studies (1H, 13C, 15N, 19F, 29Si) and elemental analyses or high-resolution mass spectrometry. Additionally, some of these compounds were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
Biomolecules are difficult to investigate in their native environment. The vast complexity of cellular systems and seldom availability of chemical reactions compatible with the physiological milieu make it a challenging task. Bioorthogonal chemical reactions serve as a key to achieve selective ligation, whose components must react rapidly and selectively with each other under physiological conditions in the presence of the plethora of functionalities necessary to sustain life. In this dissertation, we focused on the synthesis of chemical reporters and probe molecules for bioorthogonal labeling through click reaction. Initially, sialic acid derivatives with a linker containing terminal alkyne functionality were synthesized. After the synthesis of azide derivatives of fluorescent dyes as counter partners, they were conjugated with sialic acids through Cu(I) catalyzed alkyne azide cycloaddition (CuAAC). The successful in vitro conjugation of Sia and fluorescent dyes was followed by metabolic tagging of human larynx carcinoma (HEp-2) and the carcinoma of Chinese hamster ovary (CHOK1) with alkynated Sia that were subsequently ligated with fluorescein azide. Finally, the stained cells were subjected to fluorescent microscopy to obtain their images. To enable the click reaction compatible to in vivo applications, the reactivity of cyclooctyne was enhanced by two different approaches. In a first approach, following the Bertozzi’s strategy, two fluorine atoms were introduced adjacent to the alkyne to lower the LUMO. In a second strategy the ring strain of cyclooctyne was attempted to be enhanced by the introduction of an amide group. In addition, glutarimide derivatives with free amino and carboxylic acid functional groups were synthesized by domino-Michael addition-cyclization-reaction.
Synthesis and Investigation of Borylene Complexes: from Borylene Transfer to Borylene Catenation
(2012)
Within the scope of this thesis, the area of borylene transfer has been broadened by including transition-metal alkynyl complexes and metal-carbon double bonds as borylene acceptors. In addition to double salt elimination, halide abstraction and dehydrogenation processes, a novel high-yield synthetic procedure for terminal borylene complexes was established, i.e. salt elimination and subsequent silylhalogenide liberation. Accordingly, it was possible to prepare [(OC)3(Me3P)Fe=BDur] as a rare example of a neutral arylborylene species. Moreover, this compound has been demonstrated to possess great potential for metathesis reactions and the functionalization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as naphthalene. Moreover, it could undergo a phosphine-borylene exchange reaction, yielding the iron bis(borylene) complex [(OC)3Fe(BDur){BN(SiMe3)2}], which has turned out to be applicable for preparation of 1,4-diboracyclohexadiene and unprecedented 1,4-dibora-1,3-butadiene complexes, thus establishing a new type of borylene transfer. Most interestingly, upon transfer of further borylene moieties into the coordination sphere of iron, borylene-catenation was accomplished in a highly controlled manner.
Synthesis and biological activity of molybdenum carbonyl complexes and their peptide conjugates
(2012)
Molybdenum carbonyl complexes with different polypyridyl coligands were prepared and conjugated to peptides by mild bioorthogonal coupling reactions like the oxime ligation and a catalyst-free azide-alkyne click reaction utilized for the first time in such a context. The biological activity of some of the new complexes and conjugates, including their CO release properties, cytotoxicity on human cancer cells, and mode of induction of cell death was studied.
Zusammenfassend lässt sich festhalten, dass die in dieser Abreit vorgestellten Squaraine herausragend gute NIR-Absorptions- und NIR-Emissionseigenschaften aufweisen, die sie für zahlreiche Anwendungen interessant machen. Darüber hinaus konnte gezeigt werden, dass ihre besondere cis-Konfiguration und ihr daraus resultierendes Dipolmoment zu vorteilhaften Anordnungen in dünnen Filmen und in Blends mit PCBM führen. Diese Strukturen zeigen für dipolare Moleküle beeindruckende Exzitonen- und Ladungstransporteigenschaften, die vielversprechende Anwendungen in der organischen Elektronik wie in hier untersuchten lösungsprozessierten BHJ-Solarzellen oder auch in OFETs erwarten lassen.
Synthese von Dextran-umhüllten Eisenoxid-Nanopartikeln als Kontrastmittel für die MR-Tomographie
(2012)
Durch Fällung von Eisen(II)- und Eisen(III)-salzen wurden Dextran-umhüllte Eisenoxid-Nanopartikel (SPIOs) und durch anschließende Umsetzung mit Epichlorhydrin und Ammoniak CLIOs gewonnen. An diesen Kolloiden wurden niedermolekulare Moleküle wie Diamine oder Bernsteinsäureanhydrid als Linker angebracht. Ein weiterer Aspekt dieser Arbeit stellt die Anbindung von Fluoreszenzmarkern und Antikörpern an der Partikeloberfläche sowie deren spektroskopische Untersuchung dar.
Nach der ersten erfolgreichen Synthese eines freien Borols im Jahr 1969 folgte bis auf wenige Ausnahmen eine lange Periode in der der Chemie der freien Borole wenig Beachtung geschenkt wurde. Dies ist nur wenig verständlich, wenn man in Betracht zieht, dass Borole aufgrund ihres 4 Elektronensystems zu den kleinesten Hückel Antiaromaten zählen und zudem als eine der Lewis acidesten Verbindungsklassen angesehen werden. Sie weisen außerdem starke Absorptionen im sichtbaren Bereich auf, welche maßgeblich von den Substituenten am Borzentrum beeinflusst werden. Durch sorgfältige elektronische Abstimmung können nahezu alle Farben des sichtbaren Spektrums eingestellt werden (Abbildung 81). Im Jahr 2008 gelang in der Arbeitsgruppe von H. Braunschweig die erste strukturelle Charakterisierung von Pentaphenylborol (15). Außerdem wurde mit der Synthese des 1 Chlor 2,3,4,5 tetraphenylborols (26) der Grundstein für eine Reihe weitere Borol Derivate gelegt. Des Weiteren konnte das Substitutionsmuster mit der Synthese von [1-Ferrocenyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylborol] (25) auf Metallkomplexe ausgeweitet werden. Mit den beiden Bis- und Trisborolen 47 und 49 konnte gezeigt werden, dass Borole über einen konjugierten organischen spacer verknüpft werden können.[39,124,140] Aufbauend auf diesen Ergebnissen wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit die Synthese neuer Borol Derivate angestrengt. Außerdem konnten Beiträge zu Koordinations- und Reduktionschemie der bereits bekannten und neuartigen Borol-Systeme geleistet werden. Dabei wurde besonderes Augenmerk auf eine mögliche Anwendung von nicht standardmäßigen Analysemethoden wie Cyclovoltammetrie, ESR-Spektroskopie, Raman-Spektroskopie und UV Vis Spektroskopie gelegt. Eine Einstufung der Lewis-Säure Stärke der verschiedenen Borol Derivate erfolgte durch Basenübertragungsreaktionen.
Infektionskrankheiten gehören weltweit immer noch zu den häufigsten Todesursachen, und auch wenn die Gefährdung in den Industriestaaten erheblich reduziert werden konnte, nimmt die Bedeutung von übertragbaren Krankheiten wieder zu. Verursacht wird dies zum einen durch die Fähigkeit der Keime gegen die eingesetzten Arzneistoffe verschiedenartige Resistenzmechanismen zu entwickeln, zum anderen auch dadurch, dass neuartige Infektionskrankheiten entstehen. Aus diesem Grund bleibt die Entwicklung neuer Medikamente ein ständiger Wettlauf mit der Anpassungsfähigkeit der Infektionserreger, und gerade dies spielt eine große Rolle für vernachlässigte und armutsassoziierte Krankheiten wie z.B. Tuberkulose, Malaria und HIV/AIDS, die in den Entwicklungsländern große Krankheitslasten und so auch hohen volkswirtschaftlichen Schaden verursachen. Protozoische Parasiten wie die Erreger der Malaria und der Leishmaniose sind besonders trickreich, denn sie wechseln zwischen Vektor (z.B. Mücke) und Wirt (z.B. Mensch) und durchleben so verschiedene Stadien eines komplexen Entwicklungszyklus, von denen sich jedes einzelne Stadium wie ein 'anderer' Organismus verhält. Hierdurch ist die therapeutische Behandlung erschwert, und für die dauerhafte Eradikation der Parasiten und für die Hemmung ihrer Transmission, um letztlich eine Resistenzentwicklung der Medikamente zu verhindern, müssen Wirkstoffe möglichst gegen alle Stadien ähnlich gut wirken. Die Konzeptionierung solcher Verbindungen, ihr strukturelles Design und schließlich ihre Synthesen waren Ziel der hier vorliegenden Arbeit, um neue aktive Vertreter gegen protozoische und bakterielle Erreger und Toxine bereitzustellen. Die Konzeptionierung und Synthese von Hybridmolekülen aus bewährten Arzneistoffen wurde als innovativer Ansatz zur Behandlung der Malaria verfolgt. Eine strukturell neue Wirkstoffklasse mit sehr guten spezifischen Aktivitäten und interessanten Struktur-Aktivitäts-Beziehungen gegen Promastigoten und gegen Amastigoten von L. major wurde entdeckt. Auf der Suche nach neuen Verbindungen, die binäre Toxine von Bacillus anthracis Anthrax-Toxin), Clostridium perfringens (Iota-Toxin) und Clostridium botulinum C2-Toxin) hemmen können, wurden neben 4-Aminochinolin-Verbindungen neue Aminochinolinium-Salze konzipiert, synthetisiert und in Target-basierten Assays durch Titrationsexperimente und Stromfluktuationsanalysen bzw. in In-vitro-Experimenten auf ihre Wirksamkeit getestet.
Unter Ausnutzung der Reaktivität von Borylanionen wurden neuartige Übergangsmetallboridokomplexe synthetisiert, bei denen ein "nacktes" Boratom als Ligand für bis zu vier Übergangsmetalle vorliegt. Strukturelle und bindungstheoretische Eigenschaften der Boridokomplexe wurden mit gängigen metallorganischen Analysemethoden sowie mit DFT-Methoden untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die erhaltenen Tetrametalloboridokomplexe eine planare Koordinationsgeometrie um das Borzentrum aufweisen und damit ein Äquivalent zu anti van't Hoff/Le Bel-Verbindungen des Kohlenstoffs darstellen.
Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Synthese und Charakterisierung potenzieller Inhibitoren des Oberflächenproteins Mip von Legionella pneumophila. Der gramnegative Mikroorganismus ist der ursächliche Erreger der Legionellose. Die Erkrankung kann in zwei verschiedenen Formen auftreten, dem Pontiac-Fieber, einer Grippe-ähnlichen Atemwegserkrankung, und der Legionärskrankheit, einer schweren Lungenentzündung mit einer Mortalitätsrate von bis zu 30 %. Natürliche und künstlich geschaffene Süßwassersysteme bilden den biologischen Lebensraum der Bakterien. Aus dieser Umgebung werden sie über technische Vektoren wie Duschen oder Klimaanlagen durch Inhalation kontaminierter Aerosole auf den Menschen übertragen, wo sie alveoläre Makrophagen besiedeln und eine pulmonale Infektion hervorrufen. Um die Zellen in der Lunge zu erreichen, müssen die Mikroorganismen jedoch zuerst die alveoläre Barriere, bestehend aus einer Epithelzellschicht und extrazellulärer Matrix, überwinden. Dafür ist das Oberflächenprotein Mip, der Hauptvirulenzfaktor, verantwortlich. Mip ist ein Homodimer, das sich aus einer C- und einer N-Domäne zusammensetzt. Während der N-Terminus für die Dimerisierung des Proteins verantwortlich ist, weist der C-Terminus die typische Faltung einer Peptidyl-Prolyl-cis/trans-Isomerase (PPIase) auf. Der Vergleich der Aminosäuresequenz der Mip-C-Domäne mit der Domäne verschiedener humaner PPIasen zeigte eine besonders große Homologie zu FKBP12, welches zur Familie der FK506-bindenden Proteine gehört und eine wichtige Rolle innerhalb des menschlichen Immunsystems spielt. Bemerkenswerterweise hemmen bekannte immunsuppressive FKBP12-Inhibitoren wie FK506 und Rapamycin neben der humanen PPIase ebenfalls das bakterielle Mip. Außerdem wurde beobachtet, dass die C-terminale Mip-PPIase an Kollagen IV, den Hauptbestandteil in der menschlichen Lunge, bindet und somit für die Transmigration der Legionellen in die Lunge verantwortlich ist. Mip-Inhibitoren sollten demnach eine Legionellen-Infektion verhindern können. Zur Verifizierung der Hypothese sollten daher im Rahmen dieser Arbeit neue Leitstrukturen für Mip-PPIase-Inhibitoren entwickelt werden. Mit Hilfe von Molecular-Modelling-Untersuchungen basierend auf der NMR-Struktur 2VCD wurde als eine mögliche Leitstruktur N,N-Dimethylphenylsulfonsäureamid identifiziert. Deshalb sollten diese Verbindung sowie Analoga hergestellt werden. Obwohl die Immunsuppressiva FK506 und Rapamycin Mip-Inhibitoren darstellen, können sie auf Grund ihrer immunsuppressiven Eigenschaften nicht in der Legionellosetherapie eingesetzt werden. Die makrozyklischen Immunsuppressiva setzen sich im Gegensatz zu N,N-Dimethylphenylsulfonsäureamid allerdings aus zwei strukturellen Einheiten, einer Binde- sowie einer Effektordomäne, zusammen. Die Bindedomäne mit dem Pipecolinsäure-Grundgerüst ist für die Wechselwirkungen mit Mip und FKBP12 verantwortlich. Die Effektordomäne hingegen ist der aliphatische Teil der Makrozyklen, der erst durch die Bildung eines ternären Komplexes eine Immunsuppression hervorruft. Somit können Verbindungen vom Pipecolinsäure-Typ keine immunsuppressive Wirkung haben und stellen demnach optimale, neue Leitstrukturen für Mip-Inhibitoren dar. Aus diesem Grund wurden die zwei literaturbekannten, nicht-immunsuppressiven FKBP12-Inhibitoren A und B ausgewählt und in verschiedenen Docking-Studien untersucht. Das Molecular-Modelling zeigte, dass nur Verbindung B reproduzierbare Interaktionen mit Mip eingehen kann und demnach ein potenzieller Inhibitor ist. Um dies zu überprüfen, sollten beide Verbindungen A und B sowie eine Mischform hergestellt werden. Neben diesen Verbindungen wurden weiterhin Variationen an der Struktur vorgenommen. Alle Verbindungen wurden in einem In-vitro-Enzymassay gezielt auf ihre Mip-Interaktion untersucht. Die In-vitro-Untersuchungen zeigten, dass nur Pipecolinsäure-Derivate vom Sulfonsäureamid-Typ B die Mip-PPIase inhibieren, die besten Verbindungen sind 22b, 23a und 24a. Neben den enzymatischen In-vitro-Testungen wurden exemplarisch für die Verbindungen 1a, 12a, 22a und 22b HSQC-NMR-Experimente zur Bestimmung der Inhibitor-Proteinbindung durchgeführt. Für Verbindung 22b wurde zusätzlich die In-vivo-Wachstumshemmung der Legionellen mittels Gentamicin-Infektionsstudien ermittelt.
Eine Reihe von Acetylen-verknüpften Perylenbisimid(PBI)-Makrozyklen mit unterschiedlicher Ringgröße wurde durch Palladium-katalysierte Homokupplung synthetisiert und mit Hilfe von Recycling-GPC getrennt. Diese Makrozyklen wurden durch NMR-Spektroskopie und Massenspektrometrie charakterisiert und weiterhin die photophysikalischen Eigenschaften durch UV/Vis-Absorptions- und Fluoreszenzemissions-Messungen untersucht. Die Selbstorganisation dieser PBI-Makrozyklen zu hochgeordneten Nanostrukturen auf HOPG-Oberflächen wurde mittels Rasterkraftmikroskopie untersucht.
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich zum einen mit der Synthese und Reaktivität des zweiwertigen Nickel-Biscarben-Komplexes trans-[Ni(iPr2Im)2Br2], zum anderen mit der Aktivierung von C–F-Bindungen fluorierter Aromaten und dem Einsatz von [Ni2(iPr2Im)4(COD)] in der stöchiometrischen und katalytischen Hydrodefluorierung.
Derivate von Vinylsulfonen (VS), die zur Klasse der Michael-Akzeptoren gehören, haben sich in den letzten Jahren als potente irreversible Inhibitoren von Cystein-Proteasen etabliert. Durch einen nucleophilen Angriff des Cys-Restes im aktiven Zentrum der Protease auf das beta-Kohlenstoffatom der C-C-Doppelbindung wird die Protease irreversibel alkyliert. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, einfache theoretische und experimentelle Methoden zu entwickeln, um erste Schlussfolgerungen hinsichtlich der Reaktivität unterschiedlicher Vinylsulfone ziehen zu können, die zur vollständigen Aufklärung der Struktur-Wirkungsbeziehung von Vinylsulfonen mit diversen Cystein-Proteasen dienen. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit wurden quantenmechanische Rechnungen an kleinen Vinylsulfon-Bausteinen angestellt, um den Einfluss unterschiedlicher Substitutionsmuster an der Sulfoneinheit auf die Reaktionskinetik von Vinylsulfonen zu untersuchen. Anhand der jeweiligen Potentialflächen ließen sich die charakteristischen Punkte der Reaktion, wie der Reaktionskomplex, der Übergangszustand (transition state, TS) sowie das Produkt mitsamt ihren Energien und Geometrien bestimmen. Die Höhe der Energiebarriere, die zum Erreichen des TS überwunden werden muss, die sogenannte Aktiverungsenergie, hängt über die Arrhenius-Gleichung mit den kinetischen Parametern der Reaktion zusammen. Es lässt sich also durch die Kenntnis der Aktivierungsenergien die Reaktivitätsreihenfolge unterschiedlich substituierter Vinylsulfone VS vorhersagen. Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit wurden Vinylsulfonbausteine synthetisiert und an separat hergestellte Peptide gekuppelt, sodass potentielle Inhibitoren erhalten wurden. So konnten u.a. die peptidischen Inhibitoren Mu-D-Phe-L-HomoPhe-VS-Me und MP-D-Phe-L-HomoPhe-VS-Me hergestellt werden. Ein zweites Syntheseprojekt beschäftigte sich mit der Kupplung von Peptiden an neue Derivate der trans-Aziridin-2,3-dicarbonsäure. Die synthetisierten Inhibitoren waren Z-Phe-Ala-Azi, Boc-Leu-Pro-Azi und Z-Pro-Leu-Azi. Hierfür wurden die Peptide des Vinylsulfonsprojekts in umgekehrter Aminosäure-Reihenfolge synthetisiert, um sie an die Aziridinbausteine kuppeln zu können. Der dritte Teil der Doktorarbeit befasste sich mit der experimentellen Untersuchung der synthetisierten Vinylsulfonbausteine sowie den erhaltenen peptidischen VS- und Aziridin-basierten Inhibitoren. Es wurden einerseits Enzym-Assays durchgeführt, um die prozentuale Hemmung verschiedener Cystein-Proteasen durch die synthetisierten Moleküle zu messen. Keine der Verbindungen wies jedoch eine signifikannte Hemmung der Proteasen Rhodesain, Falcipain 2 und Cathepsin B auf. Andererseits wurden Modellsysteme entwickelt, um die Kinetik der Reaktionen der Vinylsulfon- und Aziridinbausteine mit einem geeigneten Thiol als Enzym-Imitat zu verfolgen. Ein zielführendes Modell konnte mit Phenylethanthiol in deuteriertem Methanol realisiert werden. Durch Zusatz von NaOH, KOH oder KOtBu konnte zusätzlich die Reaktion mit dem Thiolat untersucht werden. Die Reaktionen wurden sowohl mit IR- als auch NMR-Spektroskopie verfolgt und es wurden die Geschwindigkeitskonstanten 2. Ordnung bestimmt. Auf den ersten Blick konnte mit dem theoretischen Modell der experimentell gefundene Trend nicht vorhergesagt werden. Die Reihenfolge der Sulfonderivate aber, die an der Sulfongruppe ein weiteres Heteroatom tragen, Sulfonester und Sulfonamid, wurde richtig abgeschätzt. Der Unterschied in der Aktivierungsenergie zwischen den Sulfonestern beläuft sich auf 0.7 kcal pro mol. Über die Arrheniusgleichung, ergibt sich bei Annahme desselben Arrhenius-Faktors bei einer Temperatur von 25°C, dass OPhVS um einen Faktor 3 schneller als OMeVS reagieren sollte. Tatsächlich wurde im Experiment ein Faktor von 2.6 gefunden. Aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Substituenten am Stickstoffatom, ist das Amid nicht vollständig mit seinem H-substituierten theoretischen Pendant vergleichbar. Dass das Sulfonamid langsamer als die Sulfonester reagieren, wurde vom theoretischen Modell ebenfalls richtig vorhergesagt.
Synergistic Effect of Caffeine and Glucocorticoids on Expression of Surfactant Protein B (SP-B) mRNA
(2012)
Administration of glucocorticoids and caffeine is a common therapeutic intervention in the neonatal period, but possible interactions between these substances are still unclear. The present study investigated the effect of caffeine and different glucocorticoids on expression of surfactant protein (SP)-B, crucial for the physiological function of pulmonary surfactant. We measured expression levels of SP-B, various SP-B transcription factors including erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 4 (ErbB4) and thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1), as well as the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) after administering different doses of glucocorticoids, caffeine, cAMP, or the phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor rolipram in the human airway epithelial cell line NCI-H441. Administration of dexamethasone (1 mM) or caffeine (5 mM) stimulated SP-B mRNA expression with a maximal of 38.8611.1-fold and 5.261.4-fold increase, respectively. Synergistic induction was achieved after coadministration of dexamethasone (1 mM) in combination with caffeine (10 mM) (206659.7-fold increase, p,0.0001) or cAMP (1 mM) (2136111-fold increase, p = 0.0108). SP-B mRNA was synergistically induced also by administration of caffeine with hydrocortisone (87.9639.0), prednisolone (154666.8), and betamethasone (12366.4). Rolipram also induced SP-B mRNA (64.9621.0-fold increase). We detected a higher expression of ErbB4 and GR mRNA (7.0- and 1.7-fold increase, respectively), whereas TTF-1, Jun B, c-Jun, SP1, SP3, and HNF-3a mRNA expression was predominantly unchanged. In accordance with mRNA data, mature SP-B was induced significantly by dexamethasone with caffeine (13.869.0-fold increase, p = 0.0134). We found a synergistic upregulation of SP-B mRNA expression induced by co-administration of various glucocorticoids and caffeine, achieved by accumulation of intracellular cAMP. This effect was mediated by a caffeinedependent phosphodiesterase inhibition and by upregulation of both ErbB4 and the GR. These results suggested that caffeine is able to induce the expression of SP-transcription factors and affects the signaling pathways of glucocorticoids, amplifying their effects. Co-administration of caffeine and corticosteroids may therefore be of benefit in surfactant homeostasis.
Die periodische Katatonie ist eine eigenständige Erkrankung im Rahmen der differenzierten Klassifikation nach Kleist und Leonhard. Obwohl die Trennung Leonhards nach monopolaren, bipolaren affektiven und zykloiden Psychosen in moderne Klassifikationssysteme nach ICD 10 und DSM IV Einzug erhalten hat, werden Katatonien nur als Subtyp der Schizophrenie mit geringer Langzeitstabilität betrachtet.
Ziel dieser retrospektiven Studie ist die klinische Eigenständigkeit in einer Verlaufsbeschreibung der Symptome der periodischen Katatonie zu überprüfen. Dabei wurden 262 Patienten, bei denen durch klinisch geübte Untersucher eine periodische Katatonie diagnostiziert wurde, auf Verlaufsparameter und Soziobiographie retrospektiv untersucht.
Das erfasste Durchschnittsalter bei Ersthospitalisation der Patienten korrelierte mit den zuvor beschriebenen Ergebnissen von Leonhard, Männer erkranken mit 24 Jahren früher als Frauen mit 28 Jahren. Eine Erstmanifestation ab 45 ist selten, ab dem 60. Lebensjahr kommt dies ausschließlich bei Frauen vor.
Die Anzahl der stationären Aufenthalte korrelierte mit vorhandenen Ergebnissen einer älteren Studie und belief sich auf sechs im Durchschnitt.
Der überwiegende Anteil der Patienten (73%) ist zum Zeitpunkt des letzten stationären Aufenthaltes ledig und geht keiner Arbeit nach (50%). Der Anteil der männlichen Patienten mit einer abgeschlossenen Berufsausbildung (73%) ist höher ist als der weiblichen Patienten (48%). Ledige Patienten ohne vorhandene Schul- oder Berufsbildung werden in einem früherem Alter das erste mal stationär behandelt, stabile familiäre Situation und schulische bzw. berufliche Bildung scheinen eine protektive Wirkung auf den Ausbruch der Erkrankung zu haben.
Ein Alkohol- und Drogenkonsum fand sich zu Beginn der Erkrankung bei fast doppelt so vielen männlichen als bei weiblichen Probanden, im Rahmen des Krankheitsverlaufs nahm jedoch der Anteil der Frauen mit Alkohol- und Drogenkonsum zu.

Der Verlauf der Symptome von Psychomotorik, Affekt und Antrieb zeigt einen plötzlichen, schubförmigen Beginn der Erkrankung. Neben einem Wechsel zwischen Symptomen des Plus- und Minuspols, kommt es auch zu einem parallelen Auftreten, so dass typische Symptome der Mischform, wie zum Beispiel Stereotypien, Grimassieren und Negativismus entstehen. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung fand sich ausserdem die Entwicklung des von Leonhard beschriebenen Residualzustandes mit vorwiegenden Symptomen des Minuspols, aber wiederkehrenden Impulsvermehrungen im Verlauf.
Zeitlich betrachtet ist eine Abnahme der Dauer der stationären Behandlungszeiten zu vermerken. Diese Tatsache ist auf eine zunehmend gut entwickelte Sozio- und Pharmakotherapie, wie auch suffiziente ambulante, bzw. tagesklinische Weiterbehandlung zurückzuführen.
Die Untersuchung der Familienanamnese ergab einen hohen Anteil an einem psychisch erkrankten Elternteil (78%). Außerdem die Tatsache, dass Patienten mit erkrankten Verwandten ersten Grades in jüngeren Jahren eine Manifestation von ersten Symptomen einer periodischen Katatonie entwickeln, verglichen mit denen ohne familiäre Vorbelastung.
Background
Therapeutic vaccination directed to induce an anti-tumoral T-cell response is a field of extensive investigation in the treatment of melanoma. However, many vaccination trials in melanoma failed to demonstrate a correlation between the vaccine-specific immune response and therapy outcome. This has been mainly attributed to immune escape by antigen loss, rendering us in the need of new vaccination targets.
Patients and methods
This phase-II trial investigated a peptide vaccination against survivin, an oncogenic inhibitor-of-apoptosis protein crucial for the survival of tumor cells, in HLA-A1/-A2/-B35-positive patients with treatment-refractory stage-IV metastatic melanoma. The study endpoints were survivin-specific T-cell reactivity (SSTR), safety, response, and survival (OS).
Results
Sixty-one patients (ITT) received vaccination therapy using three different regimens. 55 patients (PP) were evaluable for response and survival, and 41/55 for SSTR. Patients achieving progression arrest (CR + PR + SD) more often showed SSTRs than patients with disease progression (p = 0.0008). Patients presenting SSTRs revealed a prolonged OS (median 19.6 vs. 8.6 months; p = 0.0077); multivariate analysis demonstrated SSTR as an independent predictor of survival (p = 0.013). The induction of SSTRs was associated with gender (female vs. male; p = 0.014) and disease stage (M1a/b vs. M1c; p = 0.010), but not with patient age, HLA type, performance status, or vaccination regimen.
Conclusion
Survivin-specific T-cell reactivities strongly correlate with tumor response and patient survival, indicating that vaccination with survivin-derived peptides is a promising treatment strategy in melanoma.

Objective:
To determine the survival in a population of German patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Patients and methods:
Information about 94 patients born between 1970 and 1980 was obtained by telephone interviews and questionnaires. In addition to age of death or actual age during the investigation, data concerning clinical course and medical interventions were collected.
Results:
67 patients with molecularly confirmed diagnoses had a median survival of 24.0 years. Patients without molecular confirmation (clinical diagnosis only) had a chance of 67 % to reach that age. Grouping of our patient cohort according to the year of death (before and after 2000), ventilation was recognized as main intervention affecting survival with ventilated reaching a median survival of 27.0 years. For those without ventilation it was 19.0 years.
Conclusion and clinical relevance:
our study provides survival data for a cohort of DMD patients in Germany stratified by year of death. Median survival was 24.0 years in patients confirmed by molecular testing. Ventilated patients had a median survival of 27 years. We consider this piece of information helpful in the medical care of DMD patients.
Autoimmune diseases, unwanted overshooting immune responses against self antigens, are due to an imbalance in immunity and tolerance. Although negatively impacting cancer prognosis, myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC), with their potent suppressive capabilities, might be applicable in a more beneficial light when applied in to autoimmunity. As previous shown MDSC have protective roles in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) (Zhu et al., 2007), the established inducible mouse model for the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis (MS). This decrease in disease severity indicates in vitro generated immature myeloid cells (IMC) from bone marrow (BM) as precursors of MDSC are promising candidates for cellular therapy. Important to any cellular therapy by adoptive transfer, the major questions regarding IMC efficacy was addressed within the thesis. This thesis attempts to elucidate how IMC operate in EAE. This thesis defines the factors within the autoimmune microenvironment that lead to the activation of MDSC, where IMC home once delivered in vivo, and the protective mechanisms BMIMC employ. To emulate BM cells when they first enter circulation through the blood, IMC were injected intravenously (i.v.). IMC are protective with no regard to the various routes delivered (i.v., i.p.). They protect to a lesser extent when pre-activated before injection. IMC suppress by causing a delay and/or by decreasing the severity of the disease via a mechanism yet determined. To understand the migration pattern of IMC after i.v. injection, in vivo kinetics experiments employing bioluminescence imaging were performed. This techinique allows for whole in vivo mouse imaging daily, allowing the tracking of cell migration over days within a single mouse. During steady-state, BMIMC circulate and appear to accumulate in the spleen by day 4 after injection, whereas they alternatively home to inflammatory sites (immunization site), draining lymph nodes, and the spleen within mice with low grade EAE. Visualization of CMDiI-labelled BMIMC by fluorescence microscopy could locate IMC injected cells outside the white pulp, as they were colocalizing in the regions stained with CD169 or outside, but not within the follicles of spleens on day 4. Consistant with these findings, the attempt to analyze the phenotype of these cells by flow cytometry was problematic as these cells seem to adhere strongly to collagen also indicating the cells are located in the collagenous area of the marginal zone and the red pulp.To determine factors influencing MDSC activation, we utilized different stimuli through a high throughput method detecting release of nitric oxide (NO). Extracts from yeast, fungi, and bacteria were observed to activate MDSC to produce nitric oxide. Surprisingly, material mimicking viral DNA (CpG) and RNA (poly I:C), and several self glycolipids, could not activate the MDSC to produce NO. Upon attempts to understand synergistic effects between microbial pathogens and host cytokines, IFNg was determined to boost the signal of pathogen stimuli, whereas IL17, another cytokine which causes pathology during EAE, and IFNb, a drug used in therapy to treat MS, did not cause any additional effects. Activation of MDSC was determined by the microbial pathogens components LPS, curdlan, and zymosan, to induce upregulation of B7H1 on the cell surface. MDSC did not increase any co-stimulatory markers, such as CD40, CD80, CD86, CD70, or the co-inhibitory marker, PDL2. On day 1 after EAE induction, endogenous MDSC populations when stimulated showed an increase in B7H1 expression and a downregulation of CD80. After further analysis, these cells were concluded to be mostly granulocytic cells (Ly6G+). As the B7H1 ligand PD1 is upregulated in chronic diseases and correlates to an exhausted phenotype, the PD1 : B7H1 interaction was a good candidate for the mechanism our cells may employ for their suppressive capacity. To investigate this interaction, fixed BM-IMC deficient in B7H1 were incubated with restimulated memory T cells. IMC deficient in B7H1 resulted in a significant loss of T cell suppression, as compared to the wildtype control BMIMC. To assess this interaction in vivo, we injected wildtype (WT) and B7H1-/- IMC into mice followed by induction of EAE to assess whether B7H1 mediated this suppression. The lack of B7H1 did not alter their suppressive capacity under these conditions, contrary to other findings which have described this interaction to be important in their suppressive capacity when administered post EAE induction (Ioannou et al., 2012). Interestingly, EAE mice pre-treated with IMC had similar amounts of cytokine production in the CNS after restimulation. Spleens from IMC injected mice had increased amounts of Arg-1 suggesting suppression is via oxidation or recruitment by soluble mediators may lead to this protection. We speculate this may inhibit T cell reactivation in the CNS.
Background: Perfusion-cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is generally accepted as an alternative to SPECT to assess myocardial ischemia non-invasively. However its performance vs gated-SPECT and in sub-populations is not fully established. The goal was to compare in a multicenter setting the diagnostic performance of perfusion-CMR and gated-SPECT for the detection of CAD in various populations using conventional x-ray coronary angiography (CXA) as the standard of reference.
Methods: In 33 centers (in US and Europe) 533 patients, eligible for CXA or SPECT, were enrolled in this multivendor trial. SPECT and CXA were performed within 4 weeks before or after CMR in all patients. Prevalence of CAD in the sample was 49% and 515 patients received MR contrast medium. Drop-out rates for CMR and SPECT were 5.6% and 3.7%, respectively (ns). The study was powered for the primary endpoint of non-inferiority of CMR vs SPECT for both, sensitivity and specificity for the detection of CAD (using a single-threshold reading), the results for the primary endpoint were reported elsewhere. In this article secondary endpoints are presented, i.e. the diagnostic performance of CMR versus SPECT in subpopulations such as multi-vessel disease (MVD), in men, in women, and in patients without prior myocardial infarction (MI). For diagnostic performance assessment the area under the receiver-operator-characteristics-curve (AUC) was calculated. Readers were blinded versus clinical data, CXA, and imaging results.
Results: The diagnostic performance (= area under ROC = AUC) of CMR was superior to SPECT (p = 0.0004, n = 425) and to gated-SPECT (p = 0.018, n = 253). CMR performed better than SPECT in MVD (p = 0.003 vs all SPECT, p = 0.04 vs gated-SPECT), in men (p = 0.004, n = 313) and in women (p = 0.03, n = 112) as well as in the non-infarct patients (p = 0.005, n = 186 in 1-3 vessel disease and p = 0.015, n = 140 in MVD).
Conclusion: In this large multicenter, multivendor study the diagnostic performance of perfusion-CMR to detect CAD was superior to perfusion SPECT in the entire population and in sub-groups. Perfusion-CMR can be recommended as an alternative for SPECT imaging.
In cultured motoneurons of a mouse model for the motoneuron disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), reduced levels of the protein SMN (survival of motoneurons) cause defects in axonal growth. This correlates with reduced β-actin mRNA and protein in growth cones, indicating that anterograde transport and local translation of β-actin mRNA are crucial for motoneuron function. However, direct evidence that indeed local translation is a physiological phenomenon in growth cones of motoneurons was missing. Here, a lentiviral GFP-based reporter construct was established to monitor local protein synthesis of β-actin mRNA. Time-lapse imaging of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) in living motoneurons revealed that β-actin is locally translated in the growth cones of embryonic motoneurons. Interestingly, local translation of the β-actin reporter construct was differentially regulated by different laminin isoforms, indicating that laminins provide extracellular cues for the regulation of local translation in growth cones. Notably, local translation of β-actin mRNA was deregulated when motoneurons of a mouse model for type I SMA (Smn-/-; SMN2) were analyzed. In situ hybridization revealed reduced levels of β-actin mRNA in the axons of Smn-/-; SMN2 motoneurons. The distribution of the β-actin mRNA was not modified by different laminin isoforms as revealed by in situ hybridization against the mRNA of the eGFP encoding element of the β-actin reporter. In case of the mRNA of α-actin and γ-actin isoforms, the endogenous mRNA did not localize to the axons and the localization pattern was not affected by the SMN levels expressed in the cell. Taken together our findings suggest that regulation of local translation of β-actin in growth cones of motoneurons critically depends on laminin signaling and the amount of SMN protein. Embryonic stem cell (ESC)-derived motoneurons are an excellent in vitro system to sort out biochemical and cellular pathways which are defective in neurodegenerative diseases like SMA. Here, a protocol for the differentiation and antibody-mediated enrichment of ESC-derived motoneurons is presented, which was optimized during the course of this study. Notably, this study contributes the production and purification of highly active recombinant sonic hedgehog (Shh), which was needed for the efficient differentiation of mouse ESCs to motoneurons. ESC-derived motoneurons will now offer high amounts of cellular material to allow the biochemical identification of disease-relevant molecular components involved in regulated local protein synthesis in axons and growth cones of motoneurons.
Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, inwieweit quantitative Genexpressionsstudien an postmortalen humanen Proben mit erhöhtem Postmortalintervall und somit möglicherweise verminderter RNA-Integrität realisierbar sind und in Zukunft als zusätzliches diagnostisches Werkzeug zur Determinierung der Todesursache im forensischen Kontext herangezogen werden können. Dafür wurden in mehreren Teilstudien Faktoren untersucht, die die Verlässlichkeit quantitativer Genexpressionsdaten beeinflussen können. Es konnte zunächst für postmortales Skelettmuskelgewebe festgestellt werden, dass Verstorbene mit erhöhtem BMI statistisch signifikant niedrigere RIN-Werte aufweisen als normalgewichtige Personen. Zudem wurde eine Korrelation zwischen dem Gewebetyp und der Integrität der daraus extrahierten RNA gefunden. Unter Anwendung der in dieser Arbeit gewählten Extraktionsmethode scheint postmortales Skelettmuskelgewebe für Genexpressionsstudien an Autopsiematerial besonders geeignet. Dagegen wurde im vorliegenden Probengut kein Zusammenhang zwischen verminderter RNA-Integrität und Parametern wie Geschlecht, PMI, Sterbealter, Dauer der Agonie und Todesursache gefunden. In einer weiteren Teilstudie wurde anhand von postmortalem Herzmuskel-, Skelettmuskel- und Gehirngewebe aus einer Auswahl von zehn funktionell verschiedenen endogenen Kontrollgenen HMBS, UBC, SDHA und TBP als die Gene mit der größten postmortalen Transkriptstabilität identifiztiert. Zudem konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Verwendung von vier stabilen endogenen Kontrollen am untersuchten Probenmaterial eine verlässliche Datennormalisierung erlaubt. Die validierten Kontrollgene können auch zukünftig für quantitative Genexpressionsstudien eingesetzt werden, solange die untersuchte Probenzusammensetzung der hier vorgestellten ähnelt. Für die Todesursache sowie für den Body Mass Index des Probenspenders wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit ein statistisch signifikanter Einfluss auf das Expressionslevel instabiler Gene festgestellt. Diese Parameter sind daher geeignet, die gefundenen Instabilitäten möglicher Kontrollgene zu erklären. Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit lassen des Weiteren darauf schließen, dass das Erstellen von Degradierungslinien aus kommerziell erhältlicher RNA für jedes verwendete qPCR-Assay ein wichtiges Instrument der Qualitätsprüfung ist. Mit der Degradierungslinie kann die Detektionsgrenze des verwendeten qPCR-Assays validiert werden kann. Nur so ist die Festlegung des Bereichs möglich, in dem ein verändertes Expressionslevel tatsächlich mit dem Einfluss eines spezifischen Parameters in Verbindung gebracht werden kann und klar von einer nur scheinbaren Genexpressionsänderung unterscheidbar ist, die durch eine Degradierung der Probe vorgetäuscht wird. Zudem scheint es praktikabel, in zukünftigen Studien nur Proben mit ähnlichen Integritäten miteinander zu vergleichen. Pathologische Prozesse im menschlichen Körper, auch solche, die die Funktion von Organen sowie die Morphologie betreffen, sind hoch komplex und können interindividuell variieren, weshalb die Genexpression im forensischen Kontext ergänzende Hinweise auf die Diagnose liefern könnte. Als erstes anwendungsbezogenes Beispiel wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit der Einfluss von Hypoxie auf das Transkriptlevel von HIF-1α, VEGF und SLC2A1 untersucht. Bei Normalisierung der Daten gegen vier stabile Kontrollgene ergaben sich anhand der untersuchten Gewebeproben Hinweise auf eine todesursachenbezogene Hochregulierung der drei Zielgene. Die Studie unterstrich die besondere Bedeutung der gewählten Normalisierungsstrategie. Wurden die Daten nur gegen GAPDH als einzelnes, nicht validiertes Kontrollgen normalisiert, deuteten die Ergebnisse eine überraschende Herunterregulierung der Zielgene an. Als mögliche Ursache für diese scheinbare Diskrepanz kommt die im weiteren Verlauf dieser Studie nachgewiesene Instabilität infolge einer Co-Regulation von GAPDH unter hypoxischen Bedingungen in Betracht. Mit dem Fernziel postmortale Genexpressionsstudien als zusätzliches Instrument in der forensischen Todesursachenbestimmung einzusetzen, schafft die vorliegende Arbeit durch die Einführung von validierten Kontrollgenen sowie durch die Analyse weiterer Einfluss nehmender Faktoren eine Basis für die verlässliche Durchführung künftiger Genexpressionsstudien an humanem Autopsiegewebe.
Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) gehört zu den am besten untersuchten und charakterisierten probiotischen Bakterienstämmen. Seit Beginn des letzten Jahrhunderts wird er als Medikament eingesetzt, um verschiedene Darmerkrankungen wie z.B. Diarrhöe, entzündliche Darmerkrankungen und Verstopfung zu behandeln. Die Flagelle des EcN vermittelt Beweglichkeit und kann die Produktion von humanem β-Defensin 2 (hBD2) durch Epithelzellen induzieren. Somit ist dieses Organell direkt in die probiotische Funktion des EcN involviert. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Flagellen anderer Bakterien, wie z.B. dem probiotischen Stamm Bacillus cereus CH oder den pathogenen Stämmen Pseudomonas aeruginosa und Clostridium difficile, die Adhäsion an intestinalen Mucus, welcher von Epithelzellen sekretiert wird, vermitteln. Allerdings blieb unklar, welcher Teil der Flagelle an welche Mucuskomponente bindet. Die Fähigkeit effizient an Wirtgewebe zu adhärieren wird als wichtiges Attribut eines probiotischen Stammes angesehen. Ex vivo Adhäsionsstudien mit Kryoschnitten humaner Darmbiopsien haben gezeigt, dass die Flagelle des EcN in die effiziente Adhäsion an humanes Darmgewebe involviert sein muss. Aus diesem Grund wurde in dieser Arbeit die Funktion der Flagelle des EcN als Adhäsin untersucht. Zunächst wurde die hyperflagellierte Variante EcN ATHF isoliert und durch verschiedene Experimente, z.B. Schwärmagartests und Elektronenmikroskopie, charakterisiert. Weitere ex vivo Adhäsionsstudien mit EcN ATHF zeigten eine höhere Adhäsionseffizienz dieser hyperflagellierten Variante und bestätigten damit die Rolle der Flagelle bei der effizienten Adhäsion von EcN an die Kryoschnitte der humanen Darmbiopsien. Interessanterweise fungierte die Flagelle in in vitro Studien mit den humanen Epithelzellen Caco-2 und T24 nicht als Adhäsin. Diese Unterschiede zwischen den in vitro und ex vivo Studien führten zu der Annahme, dass die Flagelle des EcN in vivo die Adhäsion an Mucus vermittelt, welcher von den Caco-2- und T24-Zellen nicht produziert wird, aber in den Kryoschnitten der Darmbiopsien nachgewiesen wurde. Diese Vermutung wurde durch in vitro Adhäsionsstudien mit der Mucin-produzierenden Epithelzelllinie LS174-T bestätigt, da die Flagellen für eine effektive Adhäsion an diese Zellen essentiell waren. Zudem reduzierte die Präinkubation flagellierter EcN-Stämme mit Mucin2 ihre Adhäsionseffizienz an Kryoschnitte humaner Darmbiopsien. Um die direkte Interaktion zwischen Flagellen des EcN Wildtyps und Mucus zu zeigen, wurde ein ELISA etabliert. Es konnte eine direkte konzentrationsabhängige Interaktion zwischen isolierten Flagellen des EcN Wildtyps und Mucin2, bzw. humanem Mucus (Kolon) beobachtet werden. Interessanterweise konnte keine Interaktion zwischen isolierten Flagellen des EcN Wildtyps und murinem Mucus (Duodenum, Ileum, Caecum, Colon) festgestellt werden. Dies weist darauf hin, dass die Mucuszusammensetzung zwischen verschiedenen Spezies variiert. Verschiedene Kohlenhydrate, welche bekannte Mucusbestandteile sind, wurden auf ihre Interaktion mit der Flagelle von EcN getestet und Gluconat wurde als ein Rezeptor identifiziert. Die Präinkubation isolierter Flagellen mit Gluconat reduzierte ihre Interaktion mit Mucin2, bzw. humanem Mucus signifikant. Zudem wurde die oberflächenexponierte Domäne D3 des Flagellins, der Hauptuntereinheit der Flagelle, als möglicher Interaktionspartner von Mucin2, bzw. humanem Mucus ausgeschlossen. Flagellen, die aus einer Domäne D3 Deletionsmutante isoliert wurden, zeigten sogar eine effizientere Bindung an Mucin2, bzw. humanen Mucus. Weiterhin konnte gezeigt werden, dass Änderungen des pH-Wertes signifikante Effekte auf die Interaktion zwischen Mucus und isolierten Flagellen hatten, vermutlich aufgrund von Konformationsänderungen. Zusammenfassend wurde in dieser Arbeit die Flagelle als neues und scheinbar wichtigstes Adhäsin in vivo für den probiotischen Stamm EcN identifiziert. Hierfür wurden sowohl eine hyperflagellierte Variante, eine ΔfliC Mutante, sowie der dazugehörige komplementierte Stamm verwendet. EcN ist zudem der erste probiotische Stamm für den eine direkte Bindung der Flagellen an humanen Mucus nachgewiesen werden konnte. Die Mucuskomponente Gluconat konnte dabei als wichtiger Rezeptor identifiziert werden. Da einige pathogene Bakterien ihre Flagelle zur Adhäsion an Wirtsgewebe nutzen, könnte dieses Organell EcN dazu befähigen, mit Pathogenen um die erfolgreiche Kolonisierung des Darms zu konkurrieren, was als wichtige Eigenschaft eines Probiotikums betrachtet wird.
Spreading drug resistances among Gram-negative pathogens and the paucity of new agents on the antibacterial drug market against these tenacious bacteria create a pressing need for the development of new antibiotics. The bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis pathway FAS-II, especially the enoyl-ACP reductase catalyzing the last step of the elongation cycle, is an established drug target against tuberculosis but has not been extensively exploited for drug design against other bacterial pathogens. In this thesis the enoyl-ACP reductases of the Gram-negative biothreat organisms Burkholderia pseudomallei and Yersinia pestis were targeted in a structure-based drug design approach. The structure of the most recently identified enoyl-ACP isoenzyme FabV was characterized by X-ray crystallography and could be determined in three different states. FabV from B. pseudomallei was obtained in the apo-form of the enzyme, whereas FabV from Y. pestis was characterized in a binary complex with the cofactor NADH as well as in a ternary complex with NADH and the triclosan-based 2-pyridone inhibitors PT172 and PT173. Analysis of the FabV structure revealed the typical fold of the short chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily with the NADH-binding Rossmann fold and a substrate-binding pocket with a conserved active site geometry compared to the related isoenzyme FabI. Additional structural elements of FabV are located around the active site. The monomeric form of the enzyme is thereby stabilized and the substrate-binding loop is kept in a closed, helical conformation. The ternary complexes of FabV exhibited a similar inhibitor-binding mode as observed for triclosan inhibition in FabI and point to a potential substrate-binding mechanism. B. pseudomallei possesses FabI as an additional enoyl-ACP reductase isoenzyme, which was structurally characterized in the apo form and in ternary complexes with NAD+ and the diphenyl ether inhibitors triclosan, PT02, PT12 or PT404 as well as the 4-pyridone inhibitor PT155. The structural data of the ternary enoyl-ACP reductases complexes of B. pseudomallei and Y. pestis hold the promise for the possibility to develop antibacterials targeting FabV or even both isoenzymes, FabI and FabV, based on the triclosan scaffold.
Effective treatment of infections caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus remains a worldwide challenge, in part due to the constant emergence of new strains that are resistant to antibiotics. The serine/threonine kinase PknB is of particular relevance to the life cycle of S. aureus as it is involved in the regulation of purine biosynthesis, autolysis, and other central metabolic processes of the bacterium. We have determined the crystal structure of the kinase domain of PknB in complex with a non-hydrolyzable analog of the substrate ATP at 3.0 angstrom resolution. Although the purified PknB kinase is active in solution, it crystallized in an inactive, autoinhibited state. Comparison with other bacterial kinases provides insights into the determinants of catalysis, interactions of PknB with ligands, and the pathway of activation.
This thesis deals with the chaotic dynamics of nonlinear networks consisting of semiconductor lasers which have time-delayed self-feedbacks or mutual couplings. These semiconductor lasers are simulated numerically by the Lang-Kobayashi equations. The central issue is how the chaoticity of the lasers, measured by the maximal Lyapunov exponent, changes when the delay time is changed. It is analysed how this change of chaoticity with increasing delay time depends on the reflectivity of the mirror for the self-feedback or the strength of the mutal coupling, respectively. The consequences of the different types of chaos for the effect of chaos synchronization of mutually coupled semiconductor lasers are deduced and discussed. At the beginning of this thesis, the master stability formalism for the stability analysis of nonlinear networks with delay is explained. After the description of the Lang-Kobayashi equations and their linearizations as a model for the numerical simulation of semiconductor lasers with time-delayed couplings, the artificial sub-Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_{0}$ is introduced. It is explained how the sign of the sub-Lyapunov exponent can be determined by experiments. The notions of "strong chaos" and "weak chaos" are introduced and distinguished by their different scaling properties of the maximal Lyapunov exponent with the delay time. The sign of the sub-Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_{0}$ is shown to determine the occurence of strong or weak chaos. The transition sequence "weak to strong chaos and back to weak chaos" upon monotonically increasing the coupling strength $\sigma$ of a single laser's self-feedback is shown for numerical calculations of the Lang-Kobayashi equations. At the transition between strong and weak chaos, the sub-Lyapunov exponent vanishes, $\lambda_{0}=0$, resulting in a special scaling behaviour of the maximal Lyapunov exponent with the delay time. Transitions between strong and weak chaos by changing $\sigma$ can also be found for the Rössler and Lorenz dynamics. The connection between the sub-Lyapunov exponent and the time-dependent eigenvalues of the Jacobian for the internal laser dynamics is analysed. Counterintuitively, the difference between strong and weak chaos is not directly visible from the trajectory although the difference of the trajectories induces the transitions between the two types of chaos. In addition, it is shown that a linear measure like the auto-correlation function cannot unambiguously reveal the difference between strong and weak chaos either. Although the auto-correlations after one delay time are significantly higher for weak chaos than for strong chaos, it is not possible to detect a qualitative difference. If two time-scale separated self-feedbacks are present, the shorter feedback has to be taken into account for the definition of a new sub-Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_{0,s}$, which in this case determines the occurence of strong or weak chaos. If the two self-feedbacks have comparable delay times, the sub-Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_{0}$ remains the criterion for strong or weak chaos. It is shown that the sub-Lyapunov exponent scales with the square root of the effective pump current $\sqrt{p-1}$, both in its magnitude and in the position of the critical coupling strengths. For networks with several distinct sub-Lyapunov exponents, it is shown that the maximal sub-Lyapunov exponent of the network determines whether the network's maximal Lyapunov exponent scales strongly or weakly with increasing delay time. As a consequence, complete synchronization of a network is excluded for arbitrary networks which contain at least one strongly chaotic laser. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the sub-Lyapunov exponent of a driven laser depends on the number of the incoherently superimposed inputs from unsynchronized input lasers. For networks of delay-coupled lasers operating in weak chaos, the condition $|\gamma_{2}|<\mathrm{e}^{-\lambda_{\mathrm{m}}\,\tau}$ for stable chaos synchronization is deduced using the master stability formalism. Hence, synchronization of any network depends only on the properties of a single laser with self-feedback and the eigenvalue gap of the coupling matrix. The characteristics of the master stability function for the Lang-Kobayashi dynamics is described, and consequently, the master stability function is refined to allow for precise practical prediction of synchronization. The prediction of synchronization with the master stability function is demonstrated for bidirectional and unidirectional networks. Furthermore, the master stability function is extended for two distinct delay times. Finally, symmetries and resonances for certain values of the ratio of the delay times are shown for the master stability function of the Lang-Kobyashi equations.
Durch die systematische Sichtung des Fundmaterials des frühmittelalterlichen Burgwalls von Kopchin in der Oberlausitz konnten einige Keramikscherben identifiziert werden, die wohl älter als bisher angenommen sind und in die Völkerwanderungszeit datieren. Dies ist von besonderer Relevanz, da für Nordostdeutschland traditionell eine Besiedlungslücke im 5.–7. Jh. AD postuliert wird. Dieser Hiatus ist offenbar teils auch der schwierigen sicheren Datierung der oft recht unspezifischen Keramiktypen geschuldet. So konnten mit wachsendem Kenntnisstand dieser Keramiken in den letzten Jahren auch einige völkerwanderungszeitliche Fundstellen, besonders in Nordbrandenburg und im deutsch-polnischen Pommern lokalisiert werden. In Nordost-Sachsen sind die vorgestellten singulären Funde des 5.–6. Jhs. AD jedoch bisher ohne sichere Parallelen, auch wenn mittlerweile einige Fundstellen der Völkerwanderungszeit in der Region erkannt worden sind.
Stem cell- and growth factor-based regenerative therapies for avascular necrosis of the femoral head
(2012)
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a debilitating disease of multifactorial genesis, predominately affects young patients, and often leads to the development of secondary osteoarthritis. The evolving field of regenerative medicine offers promising treatment strategies using cells, biomaterial scaffolds, and bioactive factors, which might improve clinical outcome. Early stages of AVN with preserved structural integrity of the subchondral plate are accessible to retrograde surgical procedures, such as core decompression to reduce the intraosseous pressure and to induce bone remodeling. The additive application of concentrated bone marrow aspirates, ex vivo expanded mesenchymal stem cells, and osteogenic or angiogenic growth factors (or both) holds great potential to improve bone regeneration. In contrast, advanced stages of AVN with collapsed subchondral bone require an osteochondral reconstruction to preserve the physiological joint function. Analogously to strategies for osteochondral reconstruction in the knee, anterograde surgical techniques, such as osteochondral transplantation (mosaicplasty), matrix-based autologous chondrocyte implantation, or the use of acellular scaffolds alone, might preserve joint function and reduce the need for hip replacement. This review summarizes recent experimental accomplishments and initial clinical findings in the field of regenerative medicine which apply cells, growth factors, and matrices to address the clinical problem of AVN.
In the verification of positive Harris recurrence of multiclass queueing networks the stability analysis for the class of fluid networks is of vital interest. This thesis addresses stability of fluid networks from a Lyapunov point of view. In particular, the focus is on converse Lyapunov theorems. To gain an unified approach the considerations are based on generic properties that fluid networks under widely used disciplines have in common. It is shown that the class of closed generic fluid network models (closed GFNs) is too wide to provide a reasonable Lyapunov theory. To overcome this fact the class of strict generic fluid network models (strict GFNs) is introduced. In this class it is required that closed GFNs satisfy additionally a concatenation and a lower semicontinuity condition. We show that for strict GFNs a converse Lyapunov theorem is true which provides a continuous Lyapunov function. Moreover, it is shown that for strict GFNs satisfying a trajectory estimate a smooth converse Lyapunov theorem holds. To see that widely used queueing disciplines fulfill the additional conditions, fluid networks are considered from a differential inclusions perspective. Within this approach it turns out that fluid networks under general work-conserving, priority and proportional processor-sharing disciplines define strict GFNs. Furthermore, we provide an alternative proof for the fact that the Markov process underlying a multiclass queueing network is positive Harris recurrent if the associate fluid network defining a strict GFN is stable. The proof explicitely uses the Lyapunov function admitted by the stable strict GFN. Also, the differential inclusions approach shows that first-in-first-out disciplines play a special role.
In dieser Arbeit wurden für spezielle Anwendungen an klinischen MR-Geräten optimierte Phased-Array-Spulen entwickelt. Das Ziel war, durch die Verwendung neuer Spulen entweder neue Anwendungsgebiete für klinische MR-Geräte zu eröffnen oder bei bestehenden Applikationen die Diagnosemöglichkeiten durch eine Kombination von höherem SNR und kleineren g-Faktoren im Vergleich zu bestehenden Spulen zu verbessern. In Kapitel 3 wurde untersucht, ob es durch den Einsatz neu entwickelter, dedizierter Kleintierspulen sinnvoll möglich ist, Untersuchungen an Kleintieren an klinischen MR-Geräten mit einer Feldstärke von 1,5T durchzuführen. Der Einsatz dieser Spulen verspricht dem klinischen Anwender Studien an Kleintieren durchführen zu können, bei denen er den gleichen Kontrast wie bei einer humanen Anwendung erhält und gleichzeitig Kontrastmittel sowie Sequenzen, die klinisch erprobt sind, einzusetzen. Durch die gewählten geometrischen Abmessungen der Spulen ist es möglich, Zubehör von dedizierten Tier-MR-Geräten, wie z. B. Tierliegen oder EKG- bzw. Atemtriggereinheiten, zu verwenden. Durch Vorversuche an für Ratten dimensionierten Spulen wurden grundlegende Zusammenhänge zwischen verwendetem Entkopplungsmechanismus und SNR bzw. Beschleunigungsfähigkeit erarbeitet. Für Ratten wurde gezeigt, dass in akzeptablen Messzeiten von unter fünf Minuten MR-Messungen des Abdomens in sehr guter Bildqualität möglich sind. Ebenfalls gezeigt wurde die Möglichkeit durch den Einsatz von paralleler Bildgebung sowie Kontrastmitteln hochaufgelöste Angiographien durchzuführen. Es stellte sich heraus, dass bei 1,5T dedizierte Mäusespulen bei Raumtemperatur von den SNR-Eigenschaften am Limit des sinnvoll Machbaren sind. Trotzdem war es möglich, auch für Mäuse ein 4-Kanal-Phased-Array zu entwickeln und den Einsatz bei kontrastmittelunterstützten Applikationen zu demonstrieren. Insgesamt wurde gezeigt, dass durch den Einsatz von speziellen, angepassten Kleintierspulen auch Tieruntersuchungen an klinischen MR-Geräten mit niedriger Feldstärke durchführbar sind. Obwohl sich die Bestimmung der Herzfunktion an MR-Geräten im klinischen Alltag zum Goldstandard entwickelt hat, ist die MR-Messung durch lange Atemanhaltezyklen für einen Herzpatienten sehr mühsam. In Kapitel 4 wurde deswegen die Entwicklung einer 32-Kanal-Herzspule beschrieben, welche den Komfort für Patienten deutlich erhöhen kann. Schon mit einem ersten Prototypen für 3T war es möglich, erstmals Echtzeitbildgebung mit leicht reduzierter zeitlicher Auflösung durchzuführen und damit auf das Atemanhalten komplett zu verzichten. Dies ermöglicht den Zugang neuer Patientengruppen, z. B. mit Arrythmien, zu MR-Untersuchungen. Durch eine weitere Optimierung des Designs wurde das SNR sowie das Beschleunigungsvermögen signifikant gesteigert. Bei einem Beschleunigungsfaktor R = 5 in einer Richtung erhält man z. B. gemittelt über das gesamte Herz ein ca. 60 % gesteigertes SNR zu dem Prototypen. Die Kombination dieser Spule zusammen mit neuentwicklelten Methoden wie z. B. Compressed- Sensing stellt es in Aussicht, die Herzfunktion zukünftig in der klinischen Routine in Echtzeit quantifizieren zu können. In Kapitel 5 wurde die Entwicklung einer optimierten Brustspulen für 3T beschrieben. Bei Vorversuchen bei 1,5T wurden Vergleiche zwischen der Standardspule der Firma Siemens Healthcare und einem 16-Kanal-Prototypen durchgeführt. Trotz größerem Spulenvolumen zeigt die Neuentwicklung sowohl hinsichtlich SNR als auch paralleler Bildgebungseigenschaften eine signifikante Verbesserung gegenüber der Standardspule. Durch die Einhaltung aller Kriterien für Medizinprodukte kann diese Spule auch für den klinischen Einsatz verwendet werden. Mit den verbesserten Eigenschaften ist es beispielsweise möglich, bei gleicher Messdauer eine höhere Auflösung zu erreichen. Aufgrund des intrinsischen SNR-Vorteils der 3 T-Spule gegenüber der 1,5 T-Spule ist es dort sogar möglich, bei höheren Beschleunigungsfaktoren klinisch verwertbare Schnittbilder zu erzeugen. Zusammenfassend wurden für alle drei Applikationen NMR-Empfangsspulen entwickelt, die im Vergleich zu den bisher verfügbaren Spulen, hinsichtlich SNR und Beschleunigungsvermögen optimiert sind und dem Anwender neue Möglichkeiten bieten.
Spin-Bahn-Kopplung in Grenzschichten: Mikroskopische Zusammenhänge und Strategien zur Manipulation
(2012)
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Einfluss der Spin-Bahn-Kopplung (SBK) auf die zweidimensionale elektronische Struktur von Festkörperoberflächen und -grenzflächen. Aufgrund der strukturellen Inversionsasymmetrie kann die SBK in derartigen Systemen eine Spinaufspaltung der elektronischen Zustände herbeiführen und eine charakteristische impulsabhängige Spinstruktur induzieren (Rashba-Effekt). Die Studien in dieser Arbeit sind zum einen darauf gerichtet, das physikalische Verständnis der mikroskopischen Zusammenhänge, die die Spinaufspaltung und die Spinorientierung elektronischer Zustände an Grenzflächen bestimmen, zu verbessern. Des Weiteren sollen Möglichkeiten zur Manipulation der SBK durch kontrollierte Variationen chemischer und struktureller Grenzflächenparameter erforscht werden. Als Modellsysteme für diese Fragestellungen dienen die isostrukturellen Oberflächenlegierungen BiCu2 und BiAg2, deren elektronische Struktur mittels winkelaufgelöster Photoelektronenspektroskopie (ARPES) und spinaufgelöster ARPES untersucht wird. Die Resultate der Experimente werden mithilfe von ab initio-Rechnungen und einfacheren Modellbetrachtungen interpretiert. Die Arbeit schließt mit einer ausblickenden Präsentation von Experimenten zu dem topologischen Isolator Bi2Se3(0001). Vergleichende ARPES-Messungen zu BiAg2/Ag(111) und BiCu2/Cu(111) zeigen, dass bereits geringe Unterschiede in der Grenzschichtmorphologie die Größe der Spinaufspaltung in der elektronischen Struktur um ein Vielfaches verändern können. Zudem belegen spinaufgelöste Experimente eine invertierte Spinorientierung der elektronischen Zustände in BiCu2 im Vergleich mit dem Referenzsystem Au(111). Beide Resultate können durch eine theoretische Analyse des Potentialprofils und der elektronischen Ladungsverteilung senkrecht zu der Grenzfläche in Kombination mit einfachen Modellbetrachtungen verstanden werden. Es stellt sich heraus, dass Asymmetrien in der Ladungsverteilung das direkte mikroskopische Bindeglied zwischen der Spinstruktur des elektronischen Systems und den strukturellen und chemischen Parametern der Grenzschicht bilden. Weitergehende ARPES-Experimente zeigen, dass die spinabhängige elektronische Struktur zudem signifikant durch die Symmetrie des Potentials parallel zu der Grenzflächenebene beeinflusst wird. Eine Manipulation der SBK wird in BiCu2 durch die Deposition von Adatomen erreicht. Hierdurch gelingt es, die Spinaufspaltung sowohl zu vergrößern (Na-Adsorption) als auch zu verringern (Xe-Adsorption). ARPES-Experimente an dem ternären Schichtsystem BiAg2/Ag/Au(111) belegen erstmalig eine Kopplung zwischen elektronischen Bändern mit entgegengesetztem Spincharakter in einem zweidimensionalen System mit Spinaufspaltung (Interband-Spin-Bahn-Kopplung). Der zugrundeliegende Kopplungsmechanismus steht in bemerkenswerter Analogie zu den Auswirkungen der SBK auf die spinpolarisierte elektronische Struktur in ferromagnetischen Systemen. Variationen in der Schichtdicke des Ag-Substratfilms erlauben es, die Stärke der Interband-SBK zu manipulieren.
Spielregeln für das Überleben: Dietrich von Bern im "Nibelungenlied" und in der "Nibelungenklage"
(2012)
Anknüpfend an Jan Dirk Müllers Studie ‘Spielregeln für den Untergang’ fragt der Beitrag nach jenen Verhaltensweisen im ‘Nibelungenlied’, mit denen die Katastrophe hätte verhindert werden können. Im Zentrum des Beitrags steht Dietrich von Bern, der wiederholt Handlungsalternativen aufzeigt, die eine andere Entwicklung des Geschehens ermöglicht hätten. Seine Spielregeln für ein Überleben funktionieren nur deshalb nicht, weil der Herr der Amelungen in der nibelungischen Welt keine Mitspieler findet, die sich dauerhaft an seine Regeln halten. Nach der Katastrophe werden seine Maximen jedoch bestätigt und anerkannt, wie die zeitgenössischen Reflexionen im Umfeld des Epos zeigen. In der ʻNibelungenklageʼ wird nicht nur rückblickend das Fehlverhalten einzelner Figuren getadelt, sondern ermöglichen die Anweisungen Dietrichs auch ein Weiterleben und die Gestaltung künftigen Geschehens. Um diese These zu stützen, werden zunächst die für Dietrich relevanten Episoden des ‘Nibelungenlieds’ in chronologischer Folge untersucht und die jeweiligen Handlungsmaximen bestimmt, anschließend die Bedeutung und Bewertung seiner Spielregeln in der ‘Klage’ untersucht. Flankierend werden auch die Werke der historischen Dietrichepik herangezogen.
Schwermetallsalze wie beispielsweise Aluminium- oder Eisensalze werden in der Abwasserbehandlung zur Prävention und Bekämpfung von Blähschlamm, Schwimmschlamm und Schaumbildung verwendet. Dadurch kann eine Verbesserung der Schlammabsetzeigenschaften im Nachklärbecken erreicht werden. Übermäßiges Wachstum des grampositiven Bakteriums Microthrix parvicella gilt dabei als Hauptursache von Schlammabsetzproblemen und kann ebenfalls durch die Dosierung von schwermetallhaltigen Flockungs- und Fällungsmitteln vermieden werden. Da diese Verbindungen in Wasser gelöst sind, müssen sie die Außenmembran bestimmter Bakterien passieren. Nur der Einbau von wassergefüllten Kanälen erlaubt den gelösten Salzen das Passieren der durch hydrophobe Fettsäuren aufgebauten zusätzlichen Permeabilitätsbarriere. In dieser Arbeit wurden wassergefüllten Kanäle von Microthrix parvicella isoliert, aufgereinigt und mit Hilfe der Black-Lipid-Bilayer-Technik charakterisiert. Ergänzend wurde der Einfluss und der Durchlass der Flockungs- und Fällungsmittel in Titrationsexperimenten untersucht. Dabei konnte ein wassergefüllter Kanal, der die Bezeichnung MppA erhielt, gefunden werden, welcher eine Leitfähigkeit von 600 pS in 1 M Kaliumchlorid und eine Bindestelle für mehrwertige Kationen wie Eisen oder Aluminium zeigte. Die Bindung dieser mehrwertigen Kationen führte zu einer Änderung der Ionenselektivität. Ohne Bindung mehrwertiger Kationen zeigte der Kanal eine leichte Kationenselektivität. Nach der Bindung wechselte die Ionenselektivität zu einer Anionenselektivität, was auf eine spezifische Ladungsverteilung im Kanal hinweist. Der Kanal MppA zeigte gleichwertige Bindekonstanten für Aluminium und Eisen. Beide Metalle werden als Fällungs- und Flockungsmittel in Kläranlagen zum Verhindern von Schwimm- und Blähschlamm verwendet. Frühere Arbeiten offenbarten bereits, dass hauptsächlich der Aluminiumanteil entscheidend für die Wirkung dieser Mittel ist. Diese Beobachtungen in Verbindung mit den Ergebnissen dieser Arbeit führten zu der Annahme, dass Eisen und Aluminium eine kompetitive Bindung an der Bindestelle im Kanalinneren zeigen könnten. So könnte in manchen Fällen Aluminium anstelle des sonst als Spurenelement benötigten Eisens durch den Kanal transportiert werden und in Enzym-Substrat-Komplexen eingebaut werden. Dadurch könnten toxische Effekte auftreten, die letztlich ein Absterben des Organismus zur Folge hätten. Für die Bindung der Metallsalze konnte zusätzlich eine pH-Abhängigkeit beobachtet werden. Nur eine Zugabe von Metalllösungen mit einem pH-Wert kleiner 6 führte zu einer Bindung im Kanal. Die Zugabe von Metalllösungen mit einem pH-Wert größer 6 zeigte keinen Effekt auf die Leitfähigkeit des Kanals. Diese Ergebnisse bestätigen die auf Kläranlagen und in vorherigen Arbeiten getätigte Beobachtung, dass der pH-Wert für die Wirksamkeit der Verbindungen entscheidend ist. In dieser Arbeit konnte jedoch erstmals gezeigt werden, dass der pH-Wert direkt die Bindung der Metallsalze beeinflusst.
Brain–computer interfaces (BCI) based on event-related potentials (ERP) allow for selection of characters from a visually presented character-matrix and thus provide a communica- tion channel for users with neurodegenerative disease. Although they have been topic of research for more than 20 years and were multiply proven to be a reliable communication method, BCIs are almost exclusively used in experimental settings, handled by qualified experts. This study investigates if ERP–BCIs can be handled independently by laymen without expert support, which is inevitable for establishing BCIs in end-user’s daily life situations. Furthermore we compared the classic character-by-character text entry against a predictive text entry (PTE) that directly incorporates predictive text into the character- matrix. N = 19 BCI novices handled a user-centered ERP–BCI application on their own without expert support. The software individually adjusted classifier weights and control parameters in the background, invisible to the user (auto-calibration). All participants were able to operate the software on their own and to twice correctly spell a sentence with the auto-calibrated classifier (once with PTE, once without). Our PTE increased spelling speed and, importantly, did not reduce accuracy. In sum, this study demonstrates feasi- bility of auto-calibrating ERP–BCI use, independently by laymen and the strong benefit of integrating predictive text directly into the character-matrix.
The present thesis is devoted to the spectroscopic study of rare earth manganites RMnO3 (R = Gd, Dy, Tb, Eu(1 - x)Y(x)) in the submillimeter frequency range. A dynamic manifestation of a strong magnetoelectric coupling in these systems is the existence of electromagnons - spin waves excited by the electric component of the electromagnetic wave. The exact analytical solution of the Landau-Lifshitz equations obtained for cycloidal antiferromagnets builds the bridge between the inelastic neutron scattering and the optical experiments. A semi-quantitative agreement is achieved between the theory and the results by these two experimental techniques. Two suggested mechanisms of the magnetoelectric coupling, the inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (IDM) interaction and the symmetric Heisenberg exchange (HE) striction, are introduced in a perturbative manner. The qualitative conclusions regarding both static and dynamic electric properties are also in agreement with the experiment. GdMnO3 is the system in which the electromagnons were first detected at low frequencies. Far infrared measurements in GdMnO3 presented here have confirmed the existence of a second high frequency electromagnon at 75 reciprocal centimeter. The detection of an additional mode suggests the existence of at least short range ferroelectric order. Such order has not been observed in static experiments so far. The electromagnons in Eu(1 - x)Y(x)MnO3 helped to clarify the role of the rare earth magnetism. As the Y(3+) ions are diamagnetic and Eu(3+) ions possess Van Vleck paramagnetism only, it is the Mn subsystem that is primarily responsible for the magnetoelectric properties of rare earth manganites. The electromagnons in DyMnO3 and TbMnO3 do not change their excitation conditions upon the flop of the spin cycloid in external magnetic fields. This fact still lacks consistent theoretical explanation. Detailed measurements on TbMnO3 of different orientations have allowed to prove the existence of the IDM electromagnon. The study of DyMnO3 in external magnetic fields has shown that, depending on the Dy ordering, the electromagnons and static electric polarization can be either enhanced or suppressed. Thus, the magnetic order of rare earth moments still plays an important role. As a general result of the present work, the IDM interaction is capable to describe the static electric polarization and the weak electro-active excitation in the high-field phase of TbMnO3. The HE model is successful in explaining the high frequency electromagnon, including its excitation conditions and the spectral weight. However, both models are still unable to describe the energy and the spectral weight of the low frequency electromagnon. Further theoretical and experimental efforts are required in this direction.
Plasmonic modes supported by noble-metal nanostructures offer strong subwavelength electric-field confinement and promise the realization of nanometer-scale integrated optical circuits with well-defined functionality. In order to measure the spectral and spatial response functions of such plasmonic elements, we combine a confocal microscope setup with spectral interferometry detection. The setup, data acquisition, and data evaluation are discussed in detail by means of exemplary experiments involving propagating plasmons transmitted through silver nanowires. By considering and experimentally calibrating any setup-inherent signal delay with an accuracy of 1 fs, we are able to extract correct timing information of propagating plasmons. The method can be applied, e.g., to determine the dispersion and group velocity of propagating plasmons in nanostructures, and can be extended towards the investigation of nonlinear phenomena.
Spatiotemporale Organisation der Interaktion von Gq Protein-Untereinheiten und der Phospholipase Cβ3
(2012)
Die G-Protein vermittelte Aktivierung der Phospholipase Cβ (PLCβ) stellt einen primären Mechanismus dar, um eine Vielzahl von physiologischen Ereignissen zu regulieren, z.B. die Kontraktion glatter Muskelzellen, Sekretion oder die Modulation der synaptischen Transmission. Sowohl Gαq- als auch Gβγ-Untereinheiten sind dafür bekannt mit PLCβ Enzymen zu interagieren und diese zu aktivieren. Über die Dynamik dieser Interaktion und den relative Beitrag der G-Protein Untereinheiten ist jedoch nur wenig bekannt. Unter Verwendung Fluoreszenz Resonanz Energie Transfer (FRET)- basierter Methoden in lebenden Zellen, wurde die Kinetik der Rezeptor-induzierten Interaktion zwischen Gβγ und Gαq Untereinheiten, die Interaktion von sowohl der Gαq als auch der Gβγ-Untereinheit mit der PLCβ3 und die Interaktion des regulator of G-Protein signaling 2 (RGS2) mit Gαq-Untereinheiten untersucht. Um die Untersuchung der Protein-Protein-Interaktion auf die Zellmembran zu beschränken, wurde die Total-Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) Mikroskopie angewandt. Zeitlich hoch auflösendes, ratiometrisches FRET-Imaging offenbarte eine deutlich schnellere Dissoziation von Gαq und PLCβ3 nach Entzug purinerger Agonisten verglichen mit der Deaktivierung von Gq Proteinen in der Abwesenheit der PLCβ3. Dieser offensichtliche Unterschied in der Kinetik kann durch die GTPase-aktivierende Eigenschaft der PLCβ3 in lebenden Zellen erklärt werden. Weiterhin zeigte es sich, dass PLCβ3 die Gq Protein Kinetik in einem ähnlich Ausmaß beeinflusst wie RGS2, welches in vitro deutlich effizienter darin ist, die intrinsische GTPase Aktivität der Gαq-Untereinheit zu beschleunigen. Als Antwort auf die Rezeptorstimulation wurde sowohl eine Interaktion von Gαq-Untereinheiten als auch von Gq-abstammende Gβγ-Untereinheiten mit der PLCβ3 beobachtet. Darüber hinaus zeigte sich auch eine Agonist-abhängige Interaktion von Gαq und RGS2. In Abwesenheit einer Rezeptorstimulation konnte kein spezifisches FRET-Signal zwischen Gq Proteinen und der PLCβ3 oder RGS2 detektiert werden. Zusammengefasst ermöglichte das ratiometrische FRET-Imaging in der TIRF Mikroskopie neue Einsichten in die Dynamik und Interaktionsmuster des Gq-Signalwegs.
Inflammation following ischaemic stroke attracts high priority in current research, particularly using human-like models and long-term observation periods considering translational aspects. The present study aimed on the spatio-temporal course of macrophage-like cell accumulation after experimental thromboembolic stroke and addressed microglial and astroglial reactions in the ischaemic border zone. Further, effects of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) as currently best treatment for stroke and the potentially neuroprotective co-administration of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) were investigated. Rats underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion and were assigned to control, tPA or tPA+HBO. Twenty-four hours, 7, 14 and 28 days were determined as observation time points. The accumulation of macrophage-like cells was semiquantitatively assessed by CD68 staining in the ischaemic area and ischaemic border zone, and linked to the clinical course. CD11b, ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and Neuronal Nuclei (NeuN) were applied to reveal delayed glial and neuronal alterations. In all groups, the accumulation of macrophage-like cells increased distinctly from 24 hours to 7 days post ischaemia. tPA+HBO tended to decrease macrophage-like cell accumulation at day 14 and 28. Overall, a trend towards an association of increased accumulation and pronounced reduction of the neurological deficit was found. Concerning delayed inflammatory reactions, an activation of microglia and astrocytes with co-occurring neuronal loss was observed on day 28. Thereby, astrogliosis was found circularly in contrast to microglial activation directly in the ischaemic area. This study supports previous data on long-lasting inflammatory processes following experimental stroke, and additionally provides region-specific details on glial reactions. The tendency towards a decreasing macrophage-like cell accumulation after tPA+HBO needs to be discussed critically since neuroprotective properties were recently ascribed to long-term inflammatory processes.
Advancing land degradation in the irrigated areas of Central Asia hinders sustainable development of this predominantly agricultural region. To support decisions on mitigating cropland degradation, this study combines linear trend analysis and spatial logistic regression modeling to expose a land degradation trend in the Khorezm region, Uzbekistan, and to analyze the causes. Time series of the 250-m MODIS NDVI, summed over the growing seasons of 2000–2010, were used to derive areas with an apparent negative vegetation trend; this was interpreted as an indicator of land degradation. About one third (161,000 ha) of the region’s area experienced negative trends of different magnitude. The vegetation decline was particularly evident on the low-fertility lands bordering on the natural sandy desert, suggesting that these areas should be prioritized in mitigation planning. The results of logistic modeling indicate that the spatial pattern of the observed trend is mainly associated with the level of the groundwater table (odds = 330 %), land-use intensity (odds = 103 %), low soil quality (odds = 49 %), slope (odds = 29 %), and salinity of the groundwater (odds = 26 %). Areas, threatened by land degradation, were mapped by fitting the estimated model parameters to available data. The elaborated approach, combining remote-sensing and GIS, can form the basis for developing a common tool for monitoring land degradation trends in irrigated croplands of Central Asia.
In 1999, a tragic catastrophe occurred in the Mont Blanc Tunnel, one of the most important transalpine road tunnels. Twenty-seven of the victims never left their vehicles as a result of which they were trapped in smoke and suffocated (Beard & Carvel, 2005). Immediate evacuation is crucial in tunnel fires, but still many tunnel users stay passive. During emergency situations people strongly influence each other’s behavior (e.g. Nilsson & Johansson, 2009a). So far, only few empirical experimental studies investigated the interaction of individuals during emergencies. Recent developments of advanced immersive virtual worlds, allow simulating emergency situations which makes analogue studies possible. In the present dissertation project, theoretical aspects of human behavior and SI in emergencies are addressed (Chapter 1). The question of Social Influence in emergency situations is investigated in five simulation studies during different relevant stages of the evacuation process from a simulated road tunnel fire (Chapter 2). In the last part, the results are discussed and criticized (Chapter 3). Using a virtual reality (VR) road tunnel scenario, study 1 (pilot study) and 2 investigated the effect of information about adequate behavior in tunnel emergencies as well as Social Influence (SI) on drivers’ behavior. Based on a classic study of Darley and Latané (1968) on bystander inhibition, the effect of passive bystanders on self-evacuation was analyzed. Sixty participants were confronted with an accident and smoke in a road tunnel. The presence of bystanders and information status was manipulated and consequently, participants were randomly assigned into four different groups. Informed participants read a brochure containing relevant information about safety behavior in emergency situations prior to the tunnel drives. In the bystander conditions, passive bystanders were situated in a car in front of the emergency situation. Participants who had received relevant information left the car more frequently than the other participants. Neither significant effect of bystanders nor interaction with information status on the participants’ behavior was observed. Study 3 (pilot study) examined a possible alternative explanation for weak SI in VR. Based on the Threshold Theory of Social Influence (Blascovich, 2002b) and the work of Guadagno et al. (2007), the perception of virtual humans as an avatar (a virtual representation of a real human being) or as an agent (a computer-controlled animated character) was manipulated. Subsequently, 32 participants experienced an accident similar to the one in study 1. However, they were co-drivers and a virtual agent (VA) was the driver. Participants reacted differently in avatar and agent condition. Consequently, the manipulation of the avatar condition was implemented in study 4. In study 4, SI within the vehicle was investigated, as drivers are mostly not alone in their car. In a tunnel scenario similar to the first study, 34 participants were confronted with an emergency situation either as drivers or co-drivers. In the driver group, participants drove themselves and a VA was sitting on the passenger seat. Correspondently, participants in the co-driver group were seated on the passenger seat and the VA drove the vehicle on a pre-recorded path. Like in study 1, the tunnel was blocked by an accident and smoke was coming from the accident in one drive. The VA initially stayed inactive after stopping the vehicle but started to evacuate after ca. 30 seconds. About one third of the sample left the vehicle during the situation. There were no significant differences between drivers and co-drivers regarding the frequency of leaving the vehicle. Co-drivers waited significantly longer than drivers before leaving the vehicle. Study 5 looked at the pre-movement and movement phase of the evacuation process. Forty participants were repeatedly confronted with an emergency situation in a virtual road tunnel filled with smoke. Four different experimental conditions systematically varied the presence and behavior of a VA. In all but one conditions a VA was present. Across all conditions at least 60% of the participants went to the emergency exit. If the VA went to the emergency exit, the ratio increased to 75%. If the VA went in the opposite direction of the exit, however, only 61% went there. If participants were confronted with a passive VA, they needed significantly longer until they started moving and reached the emergency exit. The main and most important finding across all studies is that SI is relevant for self-evacuation, but the degree of SI varies across the phases of evacuation and situation. In addition to the core findings, relevant theoretical and methodological questions regarding the general usefulness and limitations of VR as a research tool are discussed. Finally, a short summary and outlook on possible future studies is presented.
The size-dependent exciton dynamics of one-dimensional aggregates of substituted perylene bisimides are studied by ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy and kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations as a function of the excitation density and the temperature in the range of 25-90 degrees C. For low temperatures, the aggregates can be treated as infinite chains and the dynamics is dominated by diffusion-driven exciton-exciton annihilation. With increasing temperature the aggregates dissociate into small fragments consisting of very few monomers. This scenario is also supported by the time-dependent anisotropy deduced from polarization-dependent experiments.
The genetic mechanisms underlying adrenocortical tumor development are still largely unknown. We used high-resolution single nucleotide polymorphism microarrays (Affymetrix SNP 6.0) to detect copy number alterations (CNAs) and copy-neutral losses of heterozygosity (cnLOH) in 15 cortisol-secreting adrenocortical adenomas with matched blood samples. We focused on microalterations aiming to discover new candidate genes involved in early tumorigenesis and/or autonomous cortisol secretion. We identified 962 CNAs with a median of 18 CNAs per sample. Half of them involved noncoding regions, 89% were less than 100 kb, and 28% were found in at least two samples. The most frequently gained regions were 5p15.33, 6q16.1, 7p22.3-22.2, 8q24.3, 9q34.2-34.3, 11p15.5, 11q11, 12q12, 16q24.3, 20p11.1-20q21.11, and Xq28 (>= 20% of cases), most of them being identified in the same three adenomas. These regions contained among others genes like NOTCH1, CYP11B2, HRAS, and IGF2. Recurrent losses were less common and smaller than gains, being mostly localized at 1p, 6q, and 11q. Pathway analysis revealed that Notch signaling was the most frequently altered. We identified 46 recurrent CNAs that each affected a single gene (31 gains and 15 losses), including genes involved in steroidogenesis (CYP11B1) or tumorigenesis (CTNNB1, EPHA7, SGK1, STIL, FHIT). Finally, 20 small cnLOH in four cases affecting 15 known genes were found. Our findings provide the first high-resolution genome-wide view of chromosomal changes in cortisol-secreting adenomas and identify novel candidate genes, such as HRAS, EPHA7, and SGK1. Furthermore, they implicate that the Notch1 signaling pathway might be involved in the molecular pathogenesis of adrenocortical tumors.
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Effective vaccination strategies are urgently needed because of the emergence of drug-resistant parasites and severe side effects of chemotherapy. The research group of Heidrun Moll previously established a DC-based vaccination strategy to induce complete and long-lasting immunity to experimental leishmaniasis using LmAg-loaded and CpG ODN-activated DC as a vaccine carrier. Prevention of tissue damages at the site of L. major inoculation can be achieved if the BALB/c mice were systemically given LmAg-loaded BMDC that had been exposed to CpG ODN. The interest in further exploring the role of IL-4 aroused as previous studies allowed establishing that IL-4 was involved in the redirection of the immune response towards a type 1 profile. Thus, wt BALB/c mice or DC-specific CD11ccreIL-4Rα-/lox BALB/c mice were given either wt or IL-4Rα-deficient LmAg-loaded BMDC exposed or not to CpG ODN prior to inoculation of 2 x 105 stationary phase L. major promastigotes into the BALB/c footpad. The results provide evidence that IL4/IL-4Rα-mediated signaling in the vaccinating DC is required to prevent tissue damages at the site of L. major inoculation, as properly conditioned wt DC but not IL-4Rα-deficient DC were able to confer resistance. Furthermore, uncontrolled L. major population size expansion was observed in the footpad and the footpad draining LN in CD11ccreIL-4Rα-/lox mice immunized with CpG ODN-exposed LmAg-loaded IL-4Rα-deficient DC, indicating the influence of IL-4R-mediated signaling in host DC to control parasite replication. In addition, no footpad damage was observed in BALB/c mice that were systemically immunized with LmAg-loaded wt DC doubly exposed to CpG ODN and recombinant IL-4. Discussing these findings allow the assumption that triggering the IL4/IL4Rα signaling pathway could be a precondition when designing vaccines aimed to prevent damaging processes in tissues hosting intracellular microorganisms.
The ability of CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T-cells (Treg) to produce interleukin (IL)-10 is important for the limitation of inflammation at environmental interfaces like colon or lung. Under steady state conditions, however, few Tregs produce IL-10 ex vivo. To investigate the origin and fate of IL-10 producing Tregs we used a superagonistic mouse anti-mouse CD28 mAb (CD28SA) for polyclonal in vivo stimulation of Tregs, which not only led to their numeric expansion but also to a dramatic increase in IL-10 production. IL-10 secreting Tregs strongly upregulated surface receptors associated with suppressive function as compared to non-producing Tregs. Furthermore, polyclonally expanding Tregs shifted their migration receptor pattern after activation from a CCR7+CCR52 lymph node-seeking to a CCR72CCR5+ inflammationseeking phenotype, explaining the preferential recruitment of IL-10 producers to sites of ongoing immune responses. Finally, we observed that IL-10 producing Tregs from CD28SA stimulated mice were more apoptosis-prone in vitro than their IL-10 negative counterparts. These findings support a model where prolonged activation of Tregs results in terminal differentiation towards an IL-10 producing effector phenotype associated with a limited lifespan, implicating built-in termination of immunosuppression.
Stimulatory or superagonistic (SA) CD28-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are potent polyclonal activators of regulatory T cells and have proven highly effective as treatment in a wide range of rodent models for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In these models, a preferential activation of regulatory T cells was observed by in vivo administration of CD28SA. In stark contrast, human volunteers receiving TGN1412, a humanized CD28-specific mAb, experienced a life-threatening cytokine release syndrome during the first-in-man trial. Preclinical tests employing human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) failed to announce the rapid cytokine release measured in the human volunteers in response to TGN1412. The aim of this thesis project was to find an explanation of why standard PBMC assays failed to predict the unexpected TGN1412-induced "cytokine storm" observed in human volunteers. CD28 superagonists can activate T cells without T cell receptor (TCR) ligation. They do depend, however, on “tonic” TCR signals received by MHC scanning, signals that they amplify. PBMC do not receive these signals in the circulation. Short-term in vitro preculture of human PBMC at a high cell density (HDC) resulted in massive cytokine release during subsequent TGN1412 stimulation. Restoration of reactivity was cell-contact dependent, associated with TCR polarization and tyrosine-phosphorylation, and blocked by HLA-specific mAb. In HDC, both CD4 T cells and monocytes functionally mature in a mutually dependent fashion. However, only CD4 memory T-cells proliferate upon TGN1412 stimulation, and were identified as the main source of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Importantly, responses to other T-cell activating agents were also enhanced if PBMC were first allowed to interact under tissue-like conditions. A new in vitro protocol is provided that returns circulating T-cells to a tissue-like status where they respond to TGN1412 stimulation, and it might represent a more reliable preclinical in vitro test for both activating and inhibitory immunomodulatory drugs. Finally, the surprising observation was made that the IgG1 “sibling” of TGN1412, which is of the poorly Fc receptor-binding IgG4 isotype, has a much lower stimulatory activity. We could exclude steric hindrance as an explanation and provide evidence for removal of TGN1112 from the T-cell surface by trans-endocytosis.
Das Ziel der Studie war es, den vorbeschriebenen Befund des P50-Gating-Defizits bei Schizophrenie, insbesondere die Unterschiede zwischen den verschiedenen Subgruppen nach Leonhard zu replizieren und darüber hinaus diejenigen kortikalen Areale zu detektieren, die während Bedingungen gesteigerten sensorischen Gatings mit signifikanter Aktivierung reagieren. Ferner sollten mögliche Differenzen im Muster kortikaler Aktivierung zwischen gesunden Kontrollen und Patienten aufgedeckt werden, um das kortikale Substrat defizitären sensorischen Gatings zu ermitteln.
Von August 1997 bis Ende 2011 wurden in einem zweistufigen Neugeborenen-Hörscreening-Modell über 16994 Neugeborene mit dem MB 11 BERAphon® (MAICO, Diagnostic GmbH, Berlin) getestet. Anfangs wurde unter Verwendung des Zeitgang-BERA das Screening durchgeführt. Der akustische Reiz wurde im Laufe der Zeit verändert und optimiert. Aktuell wird mit einem breitbandigen akustischen CE-Chirp™ bei einem Screeningpegel von 35 dB-nHL gearbeitet. Von April 2008 bis September 2008 wurden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit Neugeborene mit der genannten Methode gescreent. Im Juli 2008 wurde zusätzlich eine Umfrage unter Eltern durchgeführt, deren Kinder ca. zwei Jahre zuvor in der Univ.-Frauenklinik Würzburg nach Hörstörungen untersucht worden waren. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, die Qualität des Neugeborenen-Hörscreening-Modells zu überprüfen und somit auch die Ermittlung der Sensitivität und Spezifität des MB 11 BERAphons®. In dieser Studie werden Ergebnisse von 583 gescreenten Neugeborenen (1166 Ohren) dargestellt. Die mittlere Messzeit betrug 42,5s (SD = ± 34,24s). Die Messzeiten lagen zwischen 16s und 178s, im Median dauerte eine Messung 28s. Die Pass-Rate nach Stufe I betrug 97,69 % und nach Stufe II, bzw. nach den Kontrollscreenings 98,95 %. Eine pädaudiologische Diagnostik und Therapie fand bei 11 Ohren (8 Kinder) statt. Es wurden somit 0,94% der Ohren richtig-positiv ermittelt. Die falsch-positiv-Rate betrug 2,41 %. 0,69 % der Kinder gelten als Drop-outs. Insgesamt wurden 96,31% als richtig-negativ eingeordnet. Eine Spezifität von 97,57 % wurde erreicht. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wurde eine Umfrage unter 500 Elternpaaren durchgeführt. Zur Informationsermittlung wurde ein selbst entworfener Würzburger Fragebogen sowie der LittlEARS-Fragebogen der Firma MED-EL Medical Electronics verwendet. Der Würzburger Fragebogen erwies sich als sehr gut geeignet für die Sensitivitätsstudie. Es wurde eine Rücklaufquote von 71,57 % erreicht. Die durchschnittliche Antwortdauer war 16,3 Tage. Im Median dauerte eine Antwort 6 Tage. Die aus den Umfrageergebnissen ermittelte Sensitivität beträgt 100 %. Die bereits genannten Ziele dieser Arbeit wurden erreicht. Die in Würzburg angewandte Screeningmethode erwies sich als effizient und übertrifft damit die Anforderungen an eine vom G-BA geforderte Screening-Einrichtung.
Superoxidanionen (O2˙‾) sind eine von mehreren sogenannten reaktiven Sauerstoffspezies, die im menschlichen Körper intra-, aber auch extrazellulär vorkommen. Verschiedene Enzyme, z.B. in der mitochondrialen Atmungskette, die NADPH-Oxidase oder endotheliale NO-Synthasen bilden O2˙‾. Da es sich um eine sehr reaktive Substanz handelt, die mit der DNA sowie mit Proteinen und Lipiden interagiert und diese schädigen kann, spielt sie bei kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen wie etwa der chronischen Herzinsuffizienz, Hypertonie oder Arteriosklerose eine große Rolle, ist aber auch an vielen anderen Erkrankungen wie z.B. dem Diabetes mellitus pathophysiologisch beteiligt. Dies macht verständlich, dass es für die Forschung von entscheidender Bedeutung ist, Methoden zu entwickeln, die zur Erkennung und Quantifizierung von O2˙‾ geeignet sind. Bereits heute gibt es verschiedene Methoden, O2˙‾ nachzuweisen. Jede dieser Methoden hat jedoch ihre ganz spezifischen Vor- aber auch Nachteile. Wir haben eine neue, einfache, sehr schnelle und sensitive HPLC-Methode mit einem internen Standard entwickelt, mit der die O2˙‾-Produktion in Endothelzellen und aortalem Gewebe gut zu messen ist. Sie beruht auf der Tatsache, dass Dihydroethidium (DHE) mit O2.- zu 2-Hydroxyethidium (2-OH-E+) reagiert. Nach Trennung mittels HPLC wurde die Menge an entstandenem 2-OH-E+ durch einen elektrochemischen Detektor gemessen. Die Proben wurden durch isokrate Elution aufgetrennt, was bisher bei der Detektion von 2-OH-E+, DHE und O2˙‾ mit vielen Nachteilen verbunden war. Durch eine spezielle mobile Phase, die ein Ionen-Paar-Reagens enthielt, konnte diese Form der Elution nun auch zur Erkennung von O2˙‾ angewandt werden. DHE und seine Reaktionsprodukte konnten nicht nur eindeutig aufgetrennt werden, sondern die Auftrennung erfolgte auch sehr schnell in nur etwa 15min, was gegenüber älteren Methoden einen eindeutigen Zeitvorteil bringt. Anstatt zwei benötigten wir darüber hinaus nur eine Pumpe, was ebenfalls ein Vorteil der isokraten Elution ist. Wir erreichten auch über längere Messreihen stabile Bedingungen, da für die isokrate Elution die mobile Phase nicht verändert werden muss. Des Weiteren haben wir 3,4-Dihydroxyzimtsäure als internen Standard eingeführt, der sich hinsichtlich seiner Retentionszeit als sehr geeignet erwies und mit einem elektrochemischen Detektor klar und eindeutig nachweisbar war. Dies bietet große Vorteile gegenüber Methoden ohne internen Standard. Veränderungen der Konzentrationen von DHE, 2-OH-E+ und Ethidium aufgrund von Verdampfen des Lösungsmittels Methanol können ebenso erkannt werden wie Ungenauigkeiten während der Präparation sowie Schwankungen im HPLC-System, wie sie etwa bei langen Messreihen durch Auswaschungs-Effekte oder Verunreinigungen auftreten können. Da sich die Konzentration des internen Standards 3,4-Dihydroxyzimtsäure stets mitverändert, können die Messwerte normalisiert werden und somit die Verfälschungen aufgehoben werden. Dem zu Folge sind Messungen mit einem internen Standard gegenüber solchen ohne internen Standard deutlich valider. Sowohl die Stimulation von humanen aortalen Endothelzellen (HAEC) mit Glukose bzw. Tumornekrosefaktor α, als auch die Infusion von Angiotensin II bei männlichen Mäusen mit anschließender Untersuchung der Aorta führt bekanntermaßen zu einem Anstieg von O2˙‾. Dieser Effekt konnte nun auch mit unserer neu etablierten HPLC-Methode nachgewiesen werden. Ebenfalls war ein Anstieg des aortalen O2˙‾-Spiegels bei Ratten nach induziertem Myokardinfarkt bereits in mehreren früheren Arbeiten beschrieben worden. Dieser lag auch bei Messung mit unserer neu etablierten HPLC-Methode eindeutig vor. Die Signale waren hierbei für die untersuchten Substanzen 2-OH-E+, DHE sowie für den internen Standard 3,4-Dihydroxyzimtsäure eindeutig und gut voneinander getrennt. Zusammenfassend konnte somit gezeigt werden, dass sich anhand mehrerer etablierter in vitro und in vivo Modelle erhöhter Sauerstoffradikal-Produktion der Anstieg von O2˙‾ auch mit unserer neuen Variante der HPLC mit isokrater Elution, internem Standard und Messung mittels elektrochemischem Detektor nachweisen ließ. Es handelt sich um eine zuverlässige und sensitive Methode, die zusätzliche Vorteile für die Messung von O2˙‾ mit sich bringt.
Background: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by the metacestode stage of Echinococcus multilocularis. Differential diagnosis with cystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by E. granulosus and AE is challenging. We aimed at improving diagnosis of AE on paraffin sections of infected human tissue by immunohistochemical testing of a specific antibody.
Methodology/Principal Findings: We have analysed 96 paraffin archived specimens, including 6 cutting needle biopsies and 3 fine needle aspirates, from patients with suspected AE or CE with the monoclonal antibody (mAb) Em2G11 specific for the Em2 antigen of E. multilocularis metacestodes. In human tissue, staining with mAb Em2G11 is highly specific for E. multilocularis metacestodes while no staining is detected in CE lesions. In addition, the antibody detects small particles of E. multilocularis (spems) of less than 1 mm outside the main lesion in necrotic tissue, liver sinusoids and lymphatic tissue most probably caused by shedding of parasitic material. The conventional histological diagnosis based on haematoxylin and eosin and PAS stainings were in accordance with the immunohistological diagnosis using mAb Em2G11 in 90 of 96 samples. In 6 samples conventional subtype diagnosis of echinococcosis had to be adjusted when revised by immunohistology with mAb Em2G11.
Conclusions/Significance: Immunohistochemistry with the mAb Em2G11 is a new, highly specific and sensitive diagnostic tool for AE. The staining of small particles of E. multilocularis (spems) outside the main lesion including immunocompetent tissue, such as lymph nodes, suggests a systemic effect on the host.
Lymph node metastases associated with prostate cancer (PCa) has been shown to be a poor prognostic factor. The role of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) itself in relation to survival remains unclear, however. A Medline search was conducted to address this issue. The following conclusions were drawn. Only recently, improved survival due to completion of radical prostatectomy (RP) (compared to abandoning RP) in known or presumed lymph-node-positive patients has been shown. Lymph node sampling can only be considered representative if an adequate number of nodes is removed. While several authors have suggested that a therapeutic benefit in patients undergoing RP is not provided by PLND, the reliability of these studies is uncertain. Contrary to this, several studies have indicated the possibility of long-term survival even in the presence of limited lymph node metastases. The role and timing of initiation of adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients who have node-positive disease after RP is controversial. Recent studies suggest that delaying ADT may not adversely impact survival.
Secondary Prevention after Minor Stroke and TIA - Usual Care and Development of a Support Program
(2012)
Background: Effective methods of secondary prevention after stroke or TIA are available but adherence to recommended evidence-based treatments is often poor. The study aimed to determine the quality of secondary prevention in usual care and to develop a stepwise modeled support program.
Methods: Two consecutive cohorts of patients with acute minor stroke or TIA undergoing usual outpatient care versus a secondary prevention program were compared. Risk factor control and medication adherence were assessed in 6-month follow-ups (6M-FU). Usual care consisted of detailed information concerning vascular risk factor targets given at discharge and regular outpatient care by primary care physicians. The stepwise modeled support program additionally employed up to four outpatient appointments. A combination of educational and behavioral strategies was employed.
Results: 168 patients in the observational cohort who stated their openness to participate in a prevention program (mean age 64.7 y, admission blood pressure (BP): 155/84 mmHg) and 173 patients participating in the support program (mean age 67.6 y, BP: 161/84 mmHg) were assessed at 6 months. Proportions of patients with BP according to guidelines were 50% in usual-care and 77% in the support program (p<0.01). LDL<100 mg/dl was measured in 62 versus 71% (p = 0.12). Proportions of patients who stopped smoking were 50 versus 79% (p<0.01). 72 versus 89% of patients with atrial fibrillation were on oral anticoagulation (p = 0.09).
Conclusions: Risk factor control remains unsatisfactory in usual care. Targets of secondary prevention were met more often within the supported cohort. Effects on (cerebro-)vascular recurrence rates are going to be assessed in a multicenter randomized trial.
Measuring and estimating biodiversity patterns is a fundamental task of the scientist working to support conservation and informmanagement decisions.Most biodiversity studies in temperate regions were often carried out over a very short period of time (e.g., a single season) and it is often—at least tacitly—assumed that these short-termfindings are representative of long-termgeneral patterns.However, should the studied biodiversity pattern in fact contain significant temporal dynamics, perhaps leading to contradictory conclusions. Here, we studied the seasonal diversity dynamics of arboreal spider communities dwelling in 216 European beeches (Fagus sylvatica L.) to assess the spider community composition in the following seasons: two cold seasons (I:November 2005–January 2006; II: February–April) and two warm seasons (III: May–July; IV: August–October). We show that the usually measured diversity of the warmseason community (IV: 58 estimated species) alone did not deliver a reliable image of the overall diversity present in these trees, and therefore, we recommend it should not be used for sampling protocols aimed at providing a full picture of a forest’s biodiversity in the temperate zones. In particular, when the additional samplings of other seasons (I, II, III) were included, the estimated species richness nearly doubled (108). Community I possessed the lowest diversity and evenness due to the harsh winter conditions: this community was comprised of one dominant species together with several species low in abundance. Similarity was lowest (38.6%) between seasonal communities I and III, indicating a significant species turnover due to recolonization, so that community III had the highest diversity. Finally, using nonparametric estimators, we found that further sampling in late winter (February–April) is most needed to complete our inventory. Our study clearly demonstrates that seasonal dynamics of communities should be taken into account when studying biodiversity patterns of spiders, and probably forest arthropods in general.
This letter reports the results of a search for top and bottom squarks from gluino pair production in 4.7 fb\(^{−1}\) of pp collisions at √s=7 TeV using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The search is performed in events with large missing transverse momentum and at least three jets identified as originating from a b-quark. Exclusion limits are presented for a variety of gluino-mediated models with gluino masses up to 1 TeV excluded.
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the H→WW(⋆)→ℓνℓνH→WW(⋆)→ℓνℓν (ℓ=e,μℓ=e,μ) decay mode is presented. The search is performed using proton–proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb\(^{−1}\) at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV collected during 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excess of events over the expected background is observed. An upper bound is placed on the Higgs boson production cross section as a function of its mass. A Standard Model Higgs boson with mass in the range between 133 GeV and 261 GeV is excluded at 95% confidence level, while the expected exclusion range is from 127 GeV to 233 GeV.
A search for supersymmetry (SUSY) in events with large missing transverse momentum, jets, and at least one hadronically decaying τ lepton, with zero or one additional light lepton (e/μ), has been performed using 4.7 fb\(^{−1}\) of proton-proton collision data at \(\sqrt s\)=7TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No excess above the Standard Model background expectation is observed and a 95 % confidence level visible cross-section upper limit for new phenomena is set. In the framework of gauge-mediated SUSY-breaking models, lower limits on the mass scale Λ are set at 54 TeV in the regions where the \(\tilde τ_1\) is the next-to-lightest SUSY particle (tanβ>20). These limits provide the most stringent tests to date of GMSB models in a large part of the parameter space considered.
Search for second generation scalar leptoquarks in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
(2012)
The results of a search for the production of second generation scalar leptoquarks are presented for final states consisting of either two muons and at least two jets or a muon plus missing transverse momentum and at least two jets. A total of 1.03 fb\(^{−1}\) integrated luminosity of proton-proton collision data produced by the Large Hadron Collider at s√=7 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector is used for the search. The event yields in the signal regions are found to be consistent with the Standard Model background expectations. The production of second generation leptoquarks is excluded for a leptoquark mass m\(_{LQ}\)<594 (685) GeV at 95 % confidence level, for a branching ratio of 0.5 (1.0) for leptoquark decay to a muon and a quark.
A search is presented for same-sign top-quark production and down-type heavy quarks of charge −1/3 in events with two isolated leptons (e or μ) that have the same electric charge, at least two jets and large missing transverse momentum. The data are selected from pp collisions at √s=7TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb\(^{−1}\). The observed data are consistent with expectations from Standard Model processes. Upper limits are set at 95 % confidence level on the cross section of new sources of same-sign top-quark pair production of 1.4-2.0 pb depending on the assumed mediator mass. Upper limits are also set on the pair-production cross-section for new heavy down-type quarks; a lower limit of 450 GeV is set at 95 % confidence level on the mass of heavy down-type quarks under the assumption that they decay 100 % of the time to W t.
A search for new phenomena in final states with four or more leptons (electrons or muons) is presented. The analysis is based on 4.7 fb\(^{−1}\) of √s=7 TeV proton-proton collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded with the ATLAS detector. Observations are consistent with Standard Model expectations in two signal regions: one that requires moderate values of missing transverse momentum and another that requires large effective mass. The results are interpreted in a simplified model of R-parity-violating supersymmetry in which a 95% CL exclusion region is set for charged wino masses up to 540 GeV. In an R-parity-violating MSUGRA/CMSSM model, values of m 1/2 up to 820 GeV are excluded for 10 < tan β < 40.
A search is conducted for hadronic three-body decays of a new massive coloured particle in √s=7TeV pp collisions at the LHC using an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb\(^{−1}\) collected by the ATLAS detector. Supersymmetric gluino pair production in the context of a model with R-parity violation is used as a benchmark scenario. The analysis is divided into two search channels, each optimised separately for their sensitivity to high-mass and low-mass gluino production. The first search channel uses a stringent selection on the transverse momentum of the six leading jets and is performed as a counting experiment. The second search channel focuses on low-mass gluinos produced with a large boost. Large-radius jets are selected and the invariant mass of each of the two leading jets is used as a discriminant between the signal and the background. The results are found to be consistent with Standard Model expectations and limits are set on the allowed gluino mass.
A search is presented for the pair production of light scalar top quarks in √s=7 TeV proton–proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. This analysis uses the full data sample collected during 2011 running that corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb\(^{−1}\). Light scalar top quarks are searched for in events with two opposite-sign leptons (e, μ), large missing transverse momentum and at least one jet in the final state. No excess over Standard Model expectations is found, and the results are interpreted under the assumption that the light scalar top decays to a b-quark in addition to an on-shell chargino whose decay occurs through a virtual W boson. If the chargino mass is 106 GeV, light scalar top-quark masses up to 130 GeV are excluded for neutralino masses below 70 GeV.
This paper presents a search for the t-channel exchange of an R-parity violating scalar top quark ( \(\tilde{t}\) ) in the e\(^±\) μ\(^∓\) continuum using 2.1 fb\(^{−1}\) of data collected by the ATLAS detector in √s=7 TeV pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Data are found to be consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model backgrounds. Limits on R-parity-violating couplings at 95 % C.L. are calculated as a function of the scalar top mass (m\(_\tilde{t}\)). The upper limits on the production cross section for pp→eμX, through the t-channel exchange of a scalar top quark, ranges from 170 fb for m\(_\tilde{t}\)=95 GeV to 30 fb for m\(_\tilde{t}\)=1000 GeV.
The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider is used to search for high-mass resonances decaying to an electron-positron pair or a muon-antimuon pair. The search is sensitive to heavy neutral Z′ gauge bosons, Randall-Sundrum gravitons, Z* bosons, techni-mesons, Kaluza-Klein Z/γ bosons, and bosons predicted by Torsion models. Results are presented based on an analysis of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb\(^{−1}\) in the e\(^+\)e\(^−\) channel and 5.0 fb\(^{−1}\) in the μ\(^+\)μ\(^−\)channel. A Z′ boson with Standard Model-like couplings is excluded at 95 % confidence level for masses below 2.22 TeV. A Randall-Sundrum graviton with coupling k/\(\overline M_{Pl}\)=0.1 is excluded at 95 % confidence level for masses below 2.16 TeV. Limits on the other models are also presented, including Technicolor and Minimal Z′ Models.
This letter reports on a search for hypothetical heavy neutrinos, N, and right-handed gauge bosons, W R, in events with high transverse momentum objects which include two reconstructed leptons and at least one hadronic jet. The results were obtained from data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb\(^{−1}\) collected in proton–proton collisions at √s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. No excess above the Standard Model background expectation is observed. Excluded mass regions for Majorana and Dirac neutrinos are presented using two approaches for interactions that violate lepton and lepton-flavor numbers. One approach uses an effective operator framework, the other approach is guided by the Left–Right Symmetric Model. The results described in this letter represent the most stringent limits to date on the masses of heavy neutrinos and W\(_R\) bosons obtained in direct searches.
A search for doubly charged Higgs bosons decaying to pairs of electrons and/or muons is presented. The search is performed using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb\(^{−1}\) of pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Pairs of prompt, isolated, high-p\(_T\) leptons with the same electric charge (\(e^±e^±, e^±μ^±, μ^±μ^±\)) are selected, and their invariant mass distribution is searched for a narrow resonance. No significant excess over Standard Model background expectations is observed, and limits are placed on the cross section times branching ratio for pair production of doubly charged Higgs bosons. The masses of doubly charged Higgs bosons are constrained depending on the branching ratio into these leptonic final states. Assuming pair production, coupling to left-handed fermions, and a branching ratio of 100 % for each final state, masses below 409 GeV, 375 GeV, and 398 GeV are excluded for \(e^±e^±, e^±μ^±\), and \(μ^±μ^±\), respectively.
The results of a search for charged Higgs bosons are presented. The analysis is based on 4.6fb\(^{−1}\) of proton-proton collision data at √s=7TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, using top quark pair events with a τ lepton in the final state. The data are consistent with the expected background from Standard Model processes. Assuming that the branching ratio of the charged Higgs boson to a τ lepton and a neutrino is 100 %, this leads to upper limits on the branching ratio of top quark decays to a b quark and a charged Higgs boson between 5% and 1% for charged Higgs boson masses ranging from 90 GeV to 160 GeV, respectively. In the context of the m\(^{max}_h\) scenario of the MSSM, tan β above 12-26, as well as between 1 and 2-6, can be excluded for charged Higgs boson masses between 90 GeV and 150 GeV.
In models of anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB), the lightest chargino is predicted to have a lifetime long enough to be detected in collider experiments. This letter explores AMSB scenarios in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV by attempting to identify decaying charginos which result in tracks that appear to have few associated hits in the outer region of the tracking system. The search was based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.02 fb\(^{−1}\) collected with the ATLAS detector in 2011. The p\(_T\) spectrum of candidate tracks is found to be consistent with the expectation from Standard Model background processes and constraints on the lifetime and the production cross section were obtained. In the minimal AMSB framework with m\(_{3/2}\)<32 TeV, m\(_0\)<1.5 TeV, tanβ=5 and μ>0, a chargino having mass below 92 GeV and a lifetime between 0.5 ns and 2 ns is excluded at 95 % confidence level.
Search for anomalous production of prompt like-sign lepton pairs at √s=7TeV with the ATLAS detector
(2012)
An inclusive search for anomalous production of two prompt, isolated leptons with the same electric charge is presented. The search is performed in a data sample corresponding to 4.7 fb\(^{−1}\) of integrated luminosity collected in 2011 at √s=7TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Pairs of leptons (e\(^{±}\)e\(^{±}\), e\(^{±}\)μ\(^{±}\), and μ\(^{±}\)μ\(^{±}\)) with large transverse momentum are selected, and the dilepton invariant mass distribution is examined for any deviation from the Standard Model expectation. No excess is found, and upper limits on the production cross section of like-sign lepton pairs from physics processes beyond the Standard Model are placed as a function of the dilepton invariant mass within a fiducial region close to the experimental selection criteria. The 95% confidence level upper limits on the cross section of anomalous e\(^{±}\)e\(^{±}\), e\(^{±}\)μ\(^{±}\), or μ\(^{±}\)μ\(^{±}\) production range between 1.7 fb and 64 fb depending on the dilepton mass and flavour combination.
The results of a search for direct pair production of heavy top-quark partners in 4.7 fb\(^{−1}\) of integrated luminosity from pp collisions at √s=7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC are reported. Heavy top-quark partners decaying into a top quark and a neutral non-interacting particle are searched for in events with two leptons in the final state. No excess above the Standard Model expectation is observed. Limits are placed on the mass of a supersymmetric scalar top and of a spin-1/2 top-quark partner. A spin-1/2 top-quark partner with a mass between 300 GeV and 480 GeV, decaying to a top quark and a neutral non-interacting particle lighter than 100 GeV, is excluded at 95% confidence level.
A search for a fermiophobic Higgs boson using diphoton events produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s=7 TeV is performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb\(^{−1}\) collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. A specific benchmark model is considered where all the fermion couplings to the Higgs boson are set to zero and the bosonic couplings are kept at the Standard Model values (fermiophobic Higgs model). The largest excess with respect to the background-only hypothesis is found at 125.5 GeV, with a local significance of 2.9 standard deviations, which reduces to 1.6 standard deviations when taking into account the look-elsewhere effect. The data exclude the fermiophobic Higgs model in the ranges 110.0–118.0 GeV and 119.5–121.0 GeV at 95 % confidence level.
The infectious intracellular lifestyle of Salmonella enterica relies on the adaptation to nutritional conditions within the Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV) in host cells. We summarize latest results on metabolic requirements for Salmonella during infection. This includes intracellular phenotypes of mutant strains based on metabolic modeling and experimental tests, isotopolog profiling using (13)C-compounds in intracellular Salmonella, and complementation of metabolic defects for attenuated mutant strains towards a comprehensive understanding of the metabolic requirements of the intracellular lifestyle of Salmonella. Helpful for this are also genomic comparisons. We outline further recent studies and which analyses of intracellular phenotypes and improved metabolic simulations were done and comment on technical required steps as well as progress involved in the iterative refinement of metabolic flux models, analyses of mutant phenotypes, and isotopolog analyses. Salmonella lifestyle is well-adapted to the SCV and its specific metabolic requirements. Salmonella metabolism adapts rapidly to SCV conditions, the metabolic generalist Salmonella is quite successful in host infection.
The thesis enhances the strategy of non-destructive fluorescence read-out in rylene bisimide-diarylethene containing photochromic systems. The fluorescence of the emitter unit is quenched by a photoinduced electron transfer only to one of the isomeric forms of the photochrome. The driving force of the fuorescence-quenching electron transfer was calculated by the help of the Rehm-Weller equation. The novel photochromic systems satisfy the necessary requirements for non-destructive read-out in write/read/erase fluorescent memory devices.
Rumination has been defined as a mode of responding to distress that involves passively focusing one's attention on symptoms of distress without taking action. This dysfunctional response style intensifies depressed mood, impairs interpersonal problem solving, and leads to more pessimistic future perspectives and less social support. As most of these results were obtained from younger people, it remains unclear how age affects ruminative thinking. Three hundred members of the general public ranging in age from 15 to 87 years were asked about their ruminative styles using the Response Styles Questionnaire (RSQ), depression and satisfaction with life. A Mokken Scale analysis confirmed the two-factor structure of the RSQ with brooding and reflective pondering as subcomponents of rumination. Older participants (63 years and older) reported less ruminative thinking than other age groups. Life satisfaction was associated with brooding and highest for the earlier and latest life stages investigated in this study.
Background. Nitric oxide (NO)-signal transduction plays an important role in renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. NO produced by endothelial NO-synthase (eNOS) has protective functions whereas NO from inducible NO-synthase (iNOS) induces impairment. Rosiglitazone (RGZ), a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma agonist exerted beneficial effects after renal I/R injury, so we investigated whether this might be causally linked with NOS imbalance. Methods. RGZ (5 mg/kg) was administered i.p. to SD-rats (f) subjected to bilateral renal ischemia (60 min). Following 24 h of reperfusion, inulin-and PAH-clearance as well as PAH-net secretion were determined. Morphological alterations were graded by histopathological scoring. Plasma NOx-production was measured. eNOS and iNOS expression was analyzed by qPCR. Cleaved caspase 3 (CC3) was determined as an apoptosis indicator and ED1 as a marker of macrophage infiltration in renal tissue. Results. RGZ improves renal function after renal I/R injury (PAH-/inulin-clearance, PAH-net secretion) and reduces histomorphological injury. Additionally, RGZ reduces NOx plasma levels, ED-1 positive cell infiltration and CC3 expression. iNOS-mRNA is reduced whereas eNOS-mRNA is increased by RGZ. Conclusion. RGZ has protective properties after severe renal I/R injury. Alterations of the NO pathway regarding eNOS and iNOS could be an explanation of the underlying mechanism of RGZ protection in renal I/R injury.
