Superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (VSOPs) show genotoxic effects but no functional impact on human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ASCs) (2021)

Adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ASCs) represent a capable source for cell-based therapeutic approaches. For monitoring a cell-based application in vivo, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cells labeled with iron oxide particles is a common method. It is the aim of the present study to analyze potential DNA damage, cytotoxicity and impairment of functional properties of human (h)ASCs after labeling with citrate-coated very small superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (VSOPs). Cytotoxic as well as genotoxic effects of the labeling procedure were measured in labeled and unlabeled hASCs using the MTT assay, comet assay and chromosomal aberration test. Trilineage differentiation was performed to evaluate an impairment of the differentiation potential due to the particles. Proliferation as well as migration capability were analyzed after the labeling procedure. Furthermore, the labeling of the hASCs was confirmed by Prussian blue staining, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution MRI. Below the concentration of 0.6 mM, which was used for the procedure, no evidence of genotoxic effects was found. At 0.6 mM, 1 mM as well as 1.5 mM, an increase in the number of chromosomal aberrations was determined. Cytotoxic effects were not observed at any concentration. Proliferation, migration capability and differentiation potential were also not affected by the procedure. Labeling with VSOPs is a useful labeling method for hASCs that does not affect their proliferation, migration and differentiation potential. Despite the absence of cytotoxicity, however, indications of genotoxic effects have been demonstrated.

Vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigte sich mit der Verbesserung von Defiziten der elektrischen Stimulation durch Cochlea Implantate (CI) mit alternativen Pulsformen. Dabei wurde mit elektrophysiologischen und psychophysikalischen Methoden untersucht, wie sich die Pulsformen auf die Effektivität der Stimulation auswirken. Es wurden präzisions-triphasische Pulse (pTP) mit anodischer und kathodischer zweiter Phase anhand der Daten von elf Probanden untersucht. Im Rahmen der objektiven elektrophysiologischen Messung wurde mit den unterschiedlichen Formen des pTP an drei unterschiedlichen Kontaktpositionen auf den CI-Elektrodenträgern stimuliert, und die Stärke der jeweils evozierten neuronalen Antwort aufgezeichnet. Der subjektive psychophysikalische Test diente dazu, die pulsformspezifischen Hörschwellen zu bestimmen und wurde an zwei unterschiedlichen Kontakten auf den CI-Elektrodenträgern durchgeführt. Dabei erzielten pTP, welche eine symmetrisch-triphasische Pulsform aufwiesen, geringere neuronale Antwortstärken und höhere Hörschwellen als die pTP, die einer biphasischen Pulsform glichen. Diejenigen pTP, die biphasischen Pulsen mit anodischer erster Phase glichen, erzielten dabei die höchsten neuronalen Antwortstärken und die niedrigsten Hörschwellen.
Untersuchungen zum Schädigungspotenzial durch den Konsum von E-Zigaretten: In-vitro-Exposition von humanen Nasenschleimhautzellen mit Propylenglykol im Air-Liquid-Interface (2021)
Kleinsasser, N. ; Wiest, F. ; Scherzad, A. ; Ickrath, P. ; Poier, N. ; Hackenberg, S.
Hintergrund Die E‑Zigarette erfreut sich in den letzten Jahren zunehmender Beliebtheit. Die Frage nach der Toxizität ist jedoch noch nicht eindeutig geklärt, und es herrscht global Unsicherheit im Umgang mit der E‑Zigarette. Ziel Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, Propylenglykol, ein Hauptbestandteil der Liquide, in Bezug auf mögliche akute Entzündungsreaktionen, zyto- und genotoxische Auswirkungen auf humane Nasenschleimhautzellen zu untersuchen. Material und Methoden Die Nasenschleimhautzellen wurden von zehn Probanden im Air-Liquid-Interface kultiviert und anschließend mit unterschiedlichen Konzentrationen des Propylenglykols bedampft. Die Analyse erfolgte mittels Trypanblau-Test, Comet-Assay, Mikrokerntest und IL-6- und IL-8-Sandwich-ELISA. Ergebnis Der Trypanblau-Test zeigte keine Reduktion der Vitalität. Im Sandwich-ELISA konnte kein Anstieg der IL-6- und IL-8-Konzentrationen nachgewiesen werden. Im Comet-Assay zeigte das Olive Tail Moment eine Schädigung im Vergleich zur Negativkontrolle in allen untersuchten Konzentrationen. Zudem zeigte sich eine dosisabhängige Schädigung. Im Mikrokerntest konnte ein Unterschied zwischen dem Reinstoff und der Negativkontrolle gefunden werden. Schlussfolgerung Es zeigten sich möglicherweise reparable DNS-Schädigungen im Comet-Assay. Im Mikrokerntest konnten diese nur in der Reinstoffkonzentration bestätigt werden. Es sollte ein restriktiver Umgang mit der E‑Zigarette erfolgen, bis insbesondere Langzeitstudien vorliegen. Zudem ist eine eindeutige Deklaration der Inhaltsstoffe der Liquide durch die Hersteller zu fordern, um weitergehende Schädigungspotenziale untersuchen zu können.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are widely utilized, for example in manufacturing paints and in the cosmetic industry. In addition, there is raising interest in the application of NPs in stem cell research. However, cytotoxic, genotoxic and pro-inflammatory effects were shown for NPs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of ZnO-NPs on cytokine secretion and differentiation properties of human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ASCs). Human ASCs were exposed to the subtoxic concentration of 0.2 mu g/mL ZnO-NPs for 24 h. After four weeks of cultivation, adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation procedures were performed. The multi-differentiation potential was confirmed histologically and using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In addition, the gene expression of IL-6, IL-8, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and caspase 3 was analyzed. Over the course of four weeks after ZnO-NPs exposure, no significant differences were detected in the gene expression of IL-6, IL-8, VEGF and caspase 3 compared to non-exposed cells. The differentiation was also not affected by the ZnO-NPs. These findings underline the fact, that functionality of ASCs is likely to be unaffected by ZnO-NPs, despite a long-term disposition of NPs in the cells, supposing that the starting concentration was safely in the non-toxic range. This might provide important information for single-use nanomedical applications of ZnO-NPs.
Entwicklung optimierter Ankopplungsbedingungen von aktiven Mittelohrimplantaten am runden Fenster (2022)
Derouet [geb. Schenkelberger], Freya Kwen-Kwes
Seit Mitte der 90er-Jahre gewinnen aktive Mittelohrimplantate wie die Vibrant sound bridge (VSB) zunehmend an Bedeutung. Sie können zur Rehabilitation von Schallleitungs- und Schallempfindungsstörungen, sowie kombinierter Hörstörungen indiziert sein. Die Vibrant sound bridge stellt eine Alternative für Patienten dar, bei denen aus verschiedenen Gründen eine Unverträglichkeit gegenüber herkömmlichen Hörgeräten besteht. Bei der Implantation des Floating mass transducers (FMT) am runden Fenster zeigte sich in der Klinik neben einer hohen Revisionsrate von bis zu 15,6 % eine hohe Varianz der audiologischen Ergebnisse, was auf eine unkontrollierte und mangelnde Ankopplung des Floating mass transducers an das runde Fenster zurückzuführen ist. Erste Ergebnisse der kontrollierten Ankopplung am runden Fenster mit einem Kamin zeigten vielversprechende Ergebnisse. Die suffiziente Fixation des Kamins an der Rundfensternische stellt eine Herausforderung dar. Es bedarf eines Haftvermittlers, der eine suffiziente Verbindung zwischen dem Titankamin und dem darunter befindlichen Knochen am runden Fenster herstellt. Ziel der Dissertation war die Findung einer geeigneten Haftkomponente zur Fixation des Kamins am runden Fenster. Es wurden der Calciumphosphatzement HydroSet® (Fa. Stryker) und der Glasionomerzement Ketac™ Cem (Fa. ESPE 3M™ Deutschland) untersucht. In Anlehnung an DIN 13990-2 wurden nach Einwirkung physikalischen Stresses in Form von Temperatur und Feuchtigkeit die Scherhaftfestigkeit der Titanzylinder an humanen Felsenbeinknochen gemessen. Es zeigte sich eine schwach signifikant bessere Haftung für das Calciumphosphatzement HydroSet®, bei insgesamt geringer Scherhaftfestigkeit beider Zemente im Vergleich mit anderen zahnheilkundlichen Adhäsiven der Literatur.
Zyto- und Gentoxizität von Zinkoxid-Nanopartikeln in humanen mesenchymalen Stammzellen nach repetitiver Exposition und im Langzeitversuch (2022)
Wagner, Martin
Zinkoxid-Nanopartikel (ZnO-NP) finden in vielen Produkten des täglichen Verbrauchs Verwendung. Daten über die toxikologischen Eigenschaften von ZnO-NP werden kontrovers diskutiert. Die menschliche Haut ist in Bezug auf die ZnO-NP Exposition das wichtigste Kontakt-Organ. Intakte Haut stellt eine suffiziente Barriere gegenüber NP dar. Bei defekter Haut ist ein Kontakt zu den proliferierenden Stammzellen möglich, sodass diese als wichtiges toxikologische Ziel für NP darstellen. Das Ziel dieser Dissertation war die Bewertung der genotoxischen und zytotoxischen Effekte an humanen mesenchymalen Stammzellen (hMSC) durch niedrig dosierte ZnO-NP nach 24 stündiger Exposition, repetitiven Expositionen und im Langzeitversuch bis zu 6 Wochen. Zytotoxische Wirkungen von ZnO-NP wurden mit 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromid-Test (MTT) gemessen. Darüber hinaus wurde die Genotoxizität durch den Comet-Assay bewertet. Zur Langzeitbeobachtung bis zu 6 Wochen wurde die Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie (TEM) verwendet. Zytotoxizität nach 24-stündiger ZnO-NP-Exposition war ab einer Konzentration von 50 µg/ml nachweisbar. Genotoxizität konnten bereits bei Konzentrationen von 1 und 10 µg/ml ZnO-NP beschrieben werden. Wiederholte Exposition verstärkte die Zyto-, aber nicht die Genotoxizität. Eine intrazelluläre NP-Akkumulation mit Penetration der Zellorganelle wurde bei einer Exposition bis zu 6 Wochen beobachtet. Die Ergebnisse deuten auf zytotoxische und genotoxisches Effekte von ZnO-NP hin. Bereits geringe Dosen von ZnO-NP können bei wiederholter Exposition toxische Wirkungen hervorrufen sowie eine langfristige Zellakkumulation. Diese Daten sollten bei der Verwendung von ZnO-NP an geschädigter Haut berücksichtigt werden.
Toxicity and functional impairment in human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (hASCs) following long-term exposure to very small iron oxide particles (VSOPs) (2020)
Radeloff, Katrin ; Radeloff, Andreas ; Ramos Tirado, Mario ; Scherzad, Agmal ; Hagen, Rudolf ; Kleinsasser, Norbert H. ; Hackenberg, Stephan
Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs), such as very small iron oxide NPs (VSOPs) can be used for targeted drug delivery, cancer treatment or tissue engineering. Another important field of application is the labelling of mesenchymal stem cells to allow in vivo tracking and visualization of transplanted cells using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). For these NPs, however, various toxic effects, as well as functional impairment of the exposed cells, are described. The present study evaluates the influence of VSOPs on the multilineage differentiation ability and cytokine secretion of human adipose tissue derived stromal cells (hASCs) after long-term exposure. Human ASCs were labelled with VSOPs, and the efficacy of the labelling was documented over 4 weeks in vitro cultivation of the labelled cells. Unlabelled hASCs served as negative controls. Four weeks after labelling, adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation was histologically evaluated and quantified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Changes in gene expression of IL-6, IL-8, VEGF and caspase 3 were determined over 4 weeks. Four weeks after the labelling procedure, labelled and unlabelled hASCs did not differ in the gene expression of IL-6, IL-8, VEGF and caspase 3. Furthermore, the labelling procedure had no influence on the multidifferentiation ability of hASC. The percentage of labelled cells decreased during in vitro expansion over 4 weeks. Labelling with VSOPs and long-term intracellular disposition probably have no influence on the physiological functions of hASCs. This could be important for the future in vivo use of iron oxide NPs.
High-sensitivity FEES\(^{®}\) with the professional image enhancement technology "PIET" (2022)
Kraus, Fabian ; Hackenberg, Stephan ; Shehata-Dieler, Wafaa ; Hagen, Rudolf
Purpose Flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES\(^{®}\)) is a standard diagnostic tool in dysphagia. The combination of FEES® and narrow band light (narrow band imaging; NBI) provides a more precise and detailed investigation method. So far, this technique could only be performed with the NBI illumination. The new version of the "professional image enhancement technique" (PIET) provides another image enhancing system. This study investigates the eligibility of PIET in the FEES\(^{®}\) procedure. Methods Both techniques, NBI and PIET, were compared using a target system. Furthermore, the image enhancement during FEES\(^{®}\) was performed and recorded with the two systems during daily routine. Results Performing an image enhancement during FEES\(^{®}\) is possible with both systems PIET and NBI. On the target system, the contrast of the PIET showed a brighter and a more detailed picture. In dysphagia patients, no difference between PIET and NBI was detected. Conclusion PIET proved to be non-inferior to NBI during image enhancement FEES\(^{®}\). So far, image enhancement FEES\(^{®}\) was exclusively connected to NBI. With the PIET system, an alternative endoscopy technology is available for certain indications.
Deep neck infections with and without mediastinal involvement: treatment and outcome in 218 patients (2022)
Gehrke, Thomas ; Scherzad, Agmal ; Hagen, Rudolf ; Hackenberg, Stephan
Purpose Infections of the deep neck, although becoming scarcer due to the widespread use of antibiotics, still represent a dangerous and possibly deadly disease, especially when descending into the mediastinum. Due to the different specialities involved in the treatment and the heterogenous presentation of the disease, therapeutic standard is still controversial. This study analyzes treatment and outcome in these patients based on a large retrospective review and proposes a therapeutic algorithm. Methods The cases of 218 adult patients treated with deep neck abscesses over a 10-year period at a tertiary university hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Clinical, radiological, microbiological and laboratory findings were compared between patients with and without mediastinal involvement. Results Forty-five patients (20.64%) presented with abscess formation descending into the mediastinum. Those patients had significantly (all items p < 0.0001) higher rates of surgical interventions (4.27 vs. 1.11) and tracheotomies (82% vs. 3.4%), higher markers of inflammation (CRP 26.09 vs. 10.41 mg/dl), required more CT-scans (3.58 vs. 0.85), longer hospitalization (39.78 vs 9.79 days) and more frequently needed a change in antibiotic therapy (44.44% vs. 6.40%). Multi-resistant pathogens were found in 6.67% vs. 1.16%. Overall mortality rate was low with 1.83%. Conclusion Despite of the high percentage of mediastinal involvement in the present patient collective, the proposed therapeutic algorithm resulted in a low mortality rate. Frequent CT-scans, regular planned surgical revisions with local drainage and lavage, as well as an early tracheotomy seem to be most beneficial regarding the outcome.
Implementation of secondary reconstructions of flat-panel volume computed tomography (fpVCT) and otological planning software for anatomically based cochlear implantation (2022)
Müller-Graff, Franz-Tassilo ; Ilgen, Lukas ; Schendzielorz, Philipp ; Voelker, Johannes ; Taeger, Johannes ; Kurz, Anja ; Hagen, Rudolf ; Neun, Tilmann ; Rak, Kristen
Purpose For further improvements in cochlear implantation, the measurement of the cochlear duct length (CDL) and the determination of the electrode contact position (ECP) are increasingly in the focus of clinical research. Usually, these items were investigated by multislice computed tomography (MSCT). The determination of ECP was only possible by research programs so far. Flat-panel volume computed tomography (fpVCT) and its secondary reconstructions (fpVCT\(_{SECO}\)) allow for high spatial resolution for the visualization of the temporal bone structures. Using a newly developed surgical planning software that enables the evaluation of CDL and the determination of postoperative ECP, this study aimed to investigate the combination of fpVCT and otological planning software to improve the implementation of an anatomically based cochlear implantation. Methods Cochlear measurements were performed utilizing surgical planning software in imaging data (MSCT, fpVCT and fpVCT\(_{SECO}\)) of patients with and without implanted electrodes. Results Measurement of the CDL by the use of an otological planning software was highly reliable using fpVCT\(_{SECO}\) with a lower variance between the respective measurements compared to MSCT. The determination of the inter-electrode-distance (IED) between the ECP was improved in fpVCT\(_{SECO}\) compared to MSCT. Conclusion The combination of fpVCT\(_{SECO}\) and otological planning software permits a simplified and more reliable analysis of the cochlea in the pre- and postoperative setting. The combination of both systems will enable further progress in the development of an anatomically based cochlear implantation.
Audiological practice and COVID-19: recommendations that audiological centers can use to maintain the safety and quality of service-expert opinion (2022)
Rajeswaran, Ranjith ; Tavora-Vieira, Dayse ; Mertens, Griet ; Dillon, Margaret ; Narayan, Saranya ; Kameswaran, Mohan ; Kurz, Anja
Purpose Audiology is an essential service for some patient groups and some interventions. This article sets forth experience-based recommendations for how audiological centers can continue to safely and effectively function during COVID-19. Methods The recommendations are the result of panel discussion and are based on the clinical experience of the panelists/authors. Results The recommendations cover which patient groups and which interventions should be treated when and whether this can be performed in the clinic or remotely; how to maintain the safety of workplace via optimizing patient flow within the clinic and the sanitation of rooms and equipment; and overcoming communication challenges that COVID-19 intensifies. Conclusion For essential audiological services to continue under COVID-19, safety measures must be implemented and maintained, and treatment and communication strategies must be adapted to offset communication difficulties due to personal protective equipment (PPE) and social distancing and to bolster patient confidence. In short, it is vital that staff feel safe, that patients either feel the clinic is safe enough to visit or that remote treatment may be an option, and that clinics and patients have a broad agreement on the urgency of any needed service. We hope that these recommendations help clinics effectively accomplish these goals.
Pilot study on the value of Raman spectroscopy in the entity assignment of salivary gland tumors (2021)
Meyer, Till Jasper ; Gerhard-Hartmann, Elena ; Lodes, Nina ; Scherzad, Agmal ; Hagen, Rudolf ; Steinke, Maria ; Hackenberg, Stephan
Background The entity assignment of salivary gland tumors (SGT) based on histomorphology can be challenging. Raman spectroscopy has been applied to analyze differences in the molecular composition of tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of RS for entity assignment in SGT. Methods Raman data were collected in deparaffinized sections of pleomorphic adenomas (PA) and adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC). Multivariate data and chemometric analysis were completed using the Unscrambler software. Results The Raman spectra detected in ACC samples were mostly assigned to nucleic acids, lipids, and amides. In a principal component-based linear discriminant analysis (LDA) 18 of 20 tumor samples were classified correctly. Conclusion In this proof of concept study, we show that a reliable SGT diagnosis based on LDA algorithm appears possible, despite variations in the entity-specific mean spectra. However, a standardized workflow for tissue sample preparation, measurement setup, and chemometric algorithms is essential to get reliable results.
Cochlear duct length measurements in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging using newly developed techniques (2021)
Taeger, Johannes ; Müller-Graff, Franz-Tassilo ; Lukas, Ilgen ; Schendzielorz, Philipp ; Hagen, Rudolf ; Neun, Tilman ; Rak, Kristen
Objective Growing interest in measuring the cochlear duct length (CDL) has emerged, since it can influence the selection of cochlear implant electrodes. Currently the measurements are performed with ionized radiation imaging. Only a few studies have explored CDL measurements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Therefore, the presented study aims to fill this gap by estimating CDL in MRI and comparing it with multislice computed tomography (CT). Study Design Retrospective data analyses of 42 cochleae. Setting Tertiary care medical center. Methods Diameter (A value) and width (B value) of the cochlea were measured in HOROS software. The CDL and the 2-turn length were determined by the elliptic circular approximation (ECA). In addition, the CDL, the 2-turn length, and the angular length were determined via HOROS software by the multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) method. Results CDL values were significantly shorter in MRI by MPR (d = 1.38 mm, P < .001) but not by ECA. Similar 2-turn length measurements were significantly lower in MRI by MPR (d = 1.67 mm) and ECA (d = 1.19 mm, both P < .001). In contrast, angular length was significantly higher in MRI (d = 26.79°, P < .001). When the values were set in relation to the frequencies of the cochlea, no clinically relevant differences were estimated (58 Hz at 28-mm CDL). Conclusion In the presented study, CDL was investigated in CT and MRI by using different approaches. Since no clinically relevant differences were found, diagnostics with radiation may be omitted prior to cochlear implantation; thus, a concept of radiation-free cochlear implantation could be established.
Highly precise navigation at the lateral skull base by the combination of flat-panel volume CT and electromagnetic navigation (2021)
Taeger, Johannes ; Müller-Graff, Franz-Tassilo ; Neun, Tilmann ; Köping, Maria ; Schendzielorz, Philipp ; Hagen, Rudolf ; Rak, Kristen
This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of electromagnetic navigation at the lateral skull base in combination with flat panel volume computed tomography (fpVCT) datasets. A mastoidectomy and a posterior tympanotomy were performed on 10 samples of fresh frozen temporal bones. For registration, four self-drilling titanium screws were applied as fiducial markers. Multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT; 600 µm), conventional flat panel volume computed tomography (fpVCT; 466 µm), micro-fpVCT (197 µm) and secondary reconstructed fpVCT (100 µM) scans were performed and data were loaded into the navigation system. The resulting fiducial registration error (FRE) was analysed, and control of the navigation accuracy was performed. The registration process was very quick and reliable with the screws as fiducials. Compared to using the MSCT data, the micro-fpVCT data led to significantly lower FRE values, whereas conventional fpVCT and secondary reconstructed fpVCT data had no advantage in terms of accuracy. For all imaging modalities, there was no relevant visual deviation when targeting defined anatomical points with a navigation probe. fpVCT data are very well suited for electromagnetic navigation at the lateral skull base. The use of titanium screws as fiducial markers turned out to be ideal for comparing different imaging methods. A further evaluation of this approach by a clinical trial is required.
Tuberculosis in the Head and Neck: Changing Trends and Age-Related Patterns (2021)
Gehrke, Thomas ; Hackenberg, Stephan ; Tecle, Nyat ; Hagen, Rudolf ; Scherzad, Agmal
Objective To evaluate changing trends in patient collectives, age-related patterns of manifestation, and diagnostic pathways of patients with extrapulmonary head and neck tuberculosis (TB), and to provide strategies to fasten diagnosis in these patients. Study design Case control study. Methods A 10-year retrospective analysis of 35 patients diagnosed with extrapulmonary TB in the head and neck at a tertiary university institution from 2009 to 2019, with special focus on the influence of the patient's age on consideration of TB and clinical patterns. Results The vast majority of patients younger than 40 years had their origin in countries with high TB burden (P = .0003), and TB was considered very early as a differential diagnosis (P = .0068), while most patients older than 40 years were domestic citizens initially suspected for a malignancy, who more often had an underlying immunosuppressive condition (0.0472). Most frequent manifestations in both groups were the lymph nodes, larynx, and oropharynx. Surprisingly, no differences in the rates of open TB or history of TB infection in the family anamnesis were found. Conclusion The two groups of patients found most often are younger patients migrating from regions with high TB burden and elderly domestic patients suffering from immunosuppressive conditions, with the latter often being misdiagnosed as malignancies. TB remains an important but difficult differential diagnosis, due to the initially unspecific symptoms and the great variety in the presentation of manifestations in the head and neck.
Cultivation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells with wound fluid leads to cisplatin resistance via epithelial-mesenchymal transition induction (2021)
Meyer, Till Jasper ; Stöth, Manuel ; Moratin, Helena ; Ickrath, Pascal ; Herrmann, Marietta ; Kleinsasser, Norbert ; Hagen, Rudolf ; Hackenberg, Stephan ; Scherzad, Agmal
Locoregional recurrence is a major reason for therapy failure after surgical resection of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The physiological process of postoperative wound healing could potentially support the proliferation of remaining tumor cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of wound fluid (WF) on the cell cycle distribution and a potential induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). To verify this hypothesis, we incubated FaDu and HLaC78 cells with postoperative WF from patients after neck dissection. Cell viability in dependence of WF concentration and cisplatin was measured by flow cytometry. Cell cycle analysis was performed by flow cytometry and EMT-marker expression by rtPCR. WF showed high concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, CCL2, MCP-1, EGF, angiogenin, and leptin. The cultivation of tumor cells with WF resulted in a significant increase in cell proliferation without affecting the cell cycle. In addition, there was a significant enhancement of the mesenchymal markers Snail 2 and vimentin, while the expression of the epithelial marker E-cadherin was significantly decreased. After cisplatin treatment, tumor cells incubated with WF showed a significantly higher resistance compared with the control group. The effect of cisplatin-resistance was dependent on the WF concentration. In summary, proinflammatory cytokines are predominantly found in WF. Furthermore, the results suggest that EMT can be induced by WF, which could be a possible mechanism for cisplatin resistance.
Susceptibility of Human Airway Tissue Models Derived From Different Anatomical Sites to Bordetella pertussis and Its Virulence Factor Adenylate Cyclase Toxin (2021)
Sivarajan, Rinu ; Kessie, David Komla ; Oberwinkler, Heike ; Pallmann, Niklas ; Walles, Thorsten ; Scherzad, Agmal ; Hackenberg, Stephan ; Steinke, Maria
To study the interaction of human pathogens with their host target structures, human tissue models based on primary cells are considered suitable. Complex tissue models of the human airways have been used as infection models for various viral and bacterial pathogens. The Gram-negative bacterium Bordetella pertussis is of relevant clinical interest since whooping cough has developed into a resurgent infectious disease. In the present study, we created three-dimensional tissue models of the human ciliated nasal and tracheo-bronchial mucosa. We compared the innate immune response of these models towards the B. pertussis virulence factor adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) and its enzymatically inactive but fully pore-forming toxoid CyaA-AC\(^-\). Applying molecular biological, histological, and microbiological assays, we found that 1 µg/ml CyaA elevated the intracellular cAMP level but did not disturb the epithelial barrier integrity of nasal and tracheo-bronchial airway mucosa tissue models. Interestingly, CyaA significantly increased interleukin 6, interleukin 8, and human beta defensin 2 secretion in nasal tissue models, whereas tracheo-bronchial tissue models were not significantly affected compared to the controls. Subsequently, we investigated the interaction of B. pertussis with both differentiated primary nasal and tracheo-bronchial tissue models and demonstrated bacterial adherence and invasion without observing host cell type-specific significant differences. Even though the nasal and the tracheo-bronchial mucosa appear similar from a histological perspective, they are differentially susceptible to B. pertussis CyaA in vitro. Our finding that nasal tissue models showed an increased innate immune response towards the B. pertussis virulence factor CyaA compared to tracheo-bronchial tissue models may reflect the key role of the nasal airway mucosa as the first line of defense against airborne pathogens.
Spontaneous Calcium Oscillations through Differentiation: A Calcium Imaging Analysis of Rat Cochlear Nucleus Neural Stem Cells (2021)
Voelker, Johannes ; Voelker, Christine ; Engert, Jonas ; Goemann, Nikolas ; Hagen, Rudolf ; Rak, Kristen
Causal therapies for the auditory-pathway and inner-ear diseases are still not yet available for clinical application. Regenerative medicine approaches are discussed and examined as possible therapy options. Neural stem cells could play a role in the regeneration of the auditory pathway. In recent years, neural stem and progenitor cells have been identified in the cochlear nucleus, the second nucleus of the auditory pathway. The current investigation aimed to analyze cell maturation concerning cellular calcium activity. Cochlear nuclei from PND9 CD rats were microscopically dissected and propagated as neurospheres in free-floating cultures in stem-cell medium (Neurobasal, B27, GlutaMAX, EGF, bFGF). After 30 days, the dissociation and plating of these cells took place under withdrawal of the growth factors and the addition of retinoic acid, which induces neural cell differentiation. Calcium imaging analysis with BAPTA-1/Oregon Green was carried out at different times during the differentiation phase. In addition, the influence of different voltage-dependent calcium channels was analyzed through the targeted application of inhibitors of the L-, N-, R- and T-type calcium channels. For this purpose, comparative examinations were performed on CN NSCs, and primary CN neurons. As the cells differentiated, a significant increase in spontaneous neuronal calcium activity was demonstrated. In the differentiation stage, specific frequencies of the spontaneous calcium oscillations were measured in different regions of the individual cells. Initially, the highest frequency of spontaneous calcium oscillations was ascertainable in the maturing somata. Over time, these were overtaken by calcium oscillations in the axons and dendrites. Additionally, in the area of the growth cones, an increasing activity was determined. By inhibiting voltage-dependent calcium channels, their expression and function in the differentiation process were confirmed. A comparable pattern of maturation of these channels was found in CN NSCs and primary CN neurons. The present results show that neural stem cells of the rat cochlear nucleus differentiated not only morphologically but also functionally. Spontaneous calcium activities are of great relevance in terms of neurogenesis and integration into existing neuronal structures. These functional aspects of neurogenesis within the auditory pathway could serve as future targets for the exogenous control of neuronal regeneration.
Detection of Candida albicans-Specific CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells in the Blood and Nasal Mucosa of Patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis (2021)
Ickrath, Pascal ; Sprügel, Lisa ; Beyersdorf, Niklas ; Scherzad, Agmal ; Hagen, Rudolf ; Hackenberg, Stephan
Candida albicans is ubiquitously present, and colonization in the nose and oral cavity is common. In healthy patients, it usually does not act as a pathogen, but in some cases can cause diseases. The influence of C. albicans as a trigger of T cell activation on the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is controversial, and its exact role is not clear to date. The aim of the present study was to detect and characterize C. albicans-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in patients with CRS, with and without nasal polyps. Tissue and blood samples were collected from patients suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis with (CRSwNP) and without nasal polyps (CRSsNP), and from healthy controls. A peptide pool derived from C. albicans antigen was added to tissue and blood samples. After 6 days, lymphocytes were analyzed by multicolor flow cytometry. Activation was assessed by the intracellular marker Ki-67, and the cytokine secretion was measured. Tissue CD8+ T cells of CRSsNP patients showed a significantly higher proportion of Ki-67+ cells after activation with C. albicans antigen compared to peripheral blood CD8+ T cells. Cytokine secretion in response to C. albicans antigen was similar for all study groups. In this study, C. albicans-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were detected in peripheral blood and mucosal tissue in all study groups. In patients suffering from CRSsNP, C. albicans-specific CD8+ T cells were relatively enriched in the nasal mucosa, suggesting that they might play a role in the pathogenesis of CRSsNP.
