In der vorliegenden Arbeit konnte die essentielle Beteiligung von Caspasen im Zelltodmodell der AKR 2B-Mausfibroblasten nachgewiesen und ihre Aktivitäten charakterisiert werden. AKR 2B-Mausfibroblasten stellen eine subklonierte und gut charakterisierte Zellinie dar, in der durch Entzug des Serums der Zelltod induziert wird. Während des Zelltods sterben innerhalb von 6h etwa 50 Prozent einer dichtearretierten Kultur. Die überlebenden Zellen bleiben von diesem Mangelzustand für mindestens weitere 48h unbeeinflußt, benötigen aber zum Überleben eine Proteinneusynthese. Der Zelltod zeigt für eine Apoptose typische morphologische Veränderungen der Zelle, obwohl apoptotische Charakteristika, wie die oligonukleosomale Fragmentierung der DNA oder die Aufnahme der zerfallenen Zelle durch benachbarte Zellen, ausbleiben. Mittels unterschiedlicher Methoden konnte die Expression von mRNA aller für den apoptotischen Prozeß bekannten relevanten Caspasen in den AKR 2B-Mausfibroblasten nachgewiesen werden. Die Caspasen-1, -2, -3, -6 und -9 liegen in ihrer zymogenen Form konstitutiv in den Zellen vor. Mit Ausnahme der Caspase-9 konnte die durch Serumentzug induzierte Spaltung dieser Caspasen in Untereinheiten und somit ihre Aktivierung nicht detektiert werden. Die wesentliche Beteiligung dieser Cystein-Proteasen wurde jedoch durch den protektiven Effekt spezifischer Inhibitoren und den Nachweis ihrer spezifischen Aktivität bestimmt. Die Charakterisierung dieser enzymatischen Aktivitäten lieferte Hinweise zur Identität der aktivierten Caspasen. Neben einer konstitutiven VEIDase- und IETDase-Aktivität wird 3h nach Entzug des Serums eine DEVDase maximal aktiviert. Das Gemisch an Caspase-Aktivitäten wird durch eine DEVDase dominiert. Diese Aktivität wird zum größten Teil durch nur ein Enzym gestellt, wie durch eine Affinitätsmarkierung und 2D-Gelelektrophorese gezeigt wurde. KM- und Ki-Wert-Bestimmungen der DEVDase deuten darauf hin, daß dieses Enzym typische Effektoreigenschaften, wie die der Caspase-3, besitzt. Daneben werden Lamine während des Zelltods in AKR 2B-Mausfibroblasten abgebaut, was auf eine aktivierte Caspase-6 hinweist. Die enzymatischen Charakteristika dieser Protease weichen aber von den in AKR 2B-Mausfibroblasten festgestellten Werten deutlich ab, so daß man ihr nur eine untergeordnete Rolle im Caspasen-Gemisch zuordnen kann. Eine mehrfach chromatographische Reinigung der Aktivität bietet die beste Grundlage für eine anschließende Sequenzierung der Caspase mit dem Ziel ihrer Identifizierung. Durch die Expression des viralen Caspase-Inhibitors CrmA konnte eine tragende Rolle der Caspase-8 und damit des Rezeptor-vermittelten Weges in der Initiierung des apoptotischen Programms in AKR 2B-Mausfibroblasten ausgeschlossen werden. Gleiches gilt für den mitochondrial-vermittelten Weg, für dessen Beteiligung, bis auf die Spaltung der Caspase-9, keine Hinweise vorliegen. Der Weg, der zur Aktivierung der DEVDase führt, ist Ziel gegenwärtiger Untersuchungen. Substanzen, die Signalwege aktivieren PDGF-BB, TPA, Forskolin und 8Br-cAMP) oder auch Substanzen, deren Verbindung zu Signalwegen noch weitgehend offen ist, schützen die Zellen vor dem Zelltod. Der protektive Effekt dieser Signalwege konzentriert sich in einem Konvergenzpunkt, der auf noch unbekannte Weise die Aktivierung der Effektor-Caspasen blockiert. Die Identität dieses Konvergenzpunktes und von ihm ausgehenden protektiven Weges ist Ziel weiterer Untersuchungen. So ist es möglicherweise dieser Weg, der zum Überleben von 50 Prozent der AKR 2B-Mausfibroblasten während des Serumentzugs wesentlich beiträgt.
Mycotoxins in agriculturally used plants can cause intoxication in animals and can lead to severe financial losses for farmers. The endophytic fungus Epichloë festucae var. lolii living symbiotically within the cool season grass species Lolium perenne can produce vertebrate and invertebrate toxic alkaloids. Hence, an exact quantitation of alkaloid concentrations is essential to determine intoxication risk for animals. Many studies use different methods to detect alkaloid concentrations, which complicates the comparability. In this study, we showed that alkaloid concentrations of individual plants exceeded toxicity thresholds on real world grasslands in Germany, but not on the population level. Alkaloid concentrations on five German grasslands with high alkaloid levels peaked in summer but were also below toxicity thresholds on population level. Furthermore, we showed that alkaloid concentrations follow the same seasonal trend, regardless of whether plant fresh or dry weight was used, in the field and in a common garden study. However, alkaloid concentrations were around three times higher when detected with dry weight. Finally, we showed that alkaloid concentrations can additionally be biased to different alkaloid detection methods. We highlight that toxicity risks should be analyzed using plant dry weight, but concentration trends of fresh weight are reliable.
In order to develop all-fish expression vectors for microinjection into fertilized fish eggs, we have prepared the following cunstructs: rainbow trout metallothionein a/b and the gilthead seabream growth hormone cDNA (ptMTa-gbsGHcDNA, ptMTb-gsbGHcDNA), carp ß-actin gilthead seabream GH cDNA (pcAßgsbGHcDNA). The inducible metallothionein promoters a and b were cloned from rainbow trout, and the constitutive promoter ß-actin was isolated from carp. The metallothionein promoters were cloned by using the PCR technique. The tMTa contains 430 bp, while the tMTb contains 260 bp (Hong et al. 1992). These two promoters were introduced to pGEM-3Z containing the GH cDNA of Sparus aurata to form ptMTa-gsbGH and ptMTb-gsbGH, respectively. The carp cytoplasmic ß-actin gene was chosen as a source for isolating strong constitutive regulatory sequences. One of these regulatory sequences in pUC118 was Iigated to GH cDNA of S. aurata to form the pcAß-gsbGHcDNA. Expression of the constructs containing the metallothionein promoters was tested in fish cell culture and was found tobe induced effectively by zinc. The ptMTa gsb-GH cDNA construct was microinjected into fertilized carp eggs, and integration in the genome of carp was detected in the DNA isolated from fins at the age of two months.
Feeding and sleep are fundamental behaviours with significant interconnections and cross-modulations. The circadian system and peptidergic signals are important components of this modulation, but still little is known about the mechanisms and networks by which they interact to regulate feeding and sleep. We show that specific thermogenetic activation of peptidergic Allatostatin A (AstA)-expressing PLP neurons and enteroendocrine cells reduces feeding and promotes sleep in the fruit fly Drosophila. The effects of AstA cell activation are mediated by AstA peptides with receptors homolog to galanin receptors subserving similar and apparently conserved functions in vertebrates. We further identify the PLP neurons as a downstream target of the neuropeptide pigment-dispersing factor (PDF), an output factor of the circadian clock. PLP neurons are contacted by PDF-expressing clock neurons, and express a functional PDF receptor demonstrated by cAMP imaging. Silencing of AstA signalling and continuous input to AstA cells by tethered PDF changes the sleep/activity ratio in opposite directions but does not affect rhythmicity. Taken together, our results suggest that pleiotropic AstA signalling by a distinct neuronal and enteroendocrine AstA cell subset adapts the fly to a digestive energy-saving state which can be modulated by PDF.
Neuropeptides have gained broad attraction in insect neuroscience and physiology, as new genetic tools are increasingly uncovering their wide-ranging pleiotropic functions with high cellular resolution. Allatostatin A (AstA) peptides constitute one of the best studied insect neuropeptide families. In insects and other panarthropods, AstA peptides qualify as brain-gut peptides and have regained attention with the discovery of their role in regulating feeding, growth, activity/sleep and learning. AstA receptor homologs are found throughout the protostomia and group with vertebrate somatostatin/galanin/kisspeptin receptors. In this review, we summarise the current knowledge on the evolution and the pleiotropic and cell-specific non-allatostatic functions of AstA. We speculate about the core functions of AstA signalling, and derive open questions and challengesfor future research on AstA and invertebrate neuropeptides in general.
Allopolyploid plants are long known to be subject to a homoeolog expression bias of varying degree. The same phenomenon was only much later suspected to occur also in animals based on studies of single selected genes in an allopolyploid vertebrate, the Iberian fish Squalius alburnoides. Consequently, this species became a good model for understanding the evolution of gene expression regulation in polyploid vertebrates. Here, we analyzed for the first time genome-wide allele-specific expression data from diploid and triploid hybrids of S. alburnoides and compared homoeolog expression profiles of adult livers and of juveniles. Co-expression of alleles from both parental genomic types was observed for the majority of genes, but with marked homoeolog expression bias, suggesting homoeolog specific reshaping of expression level patterns in hybrids. Complete silencing of one allele was also observed irrespective of ploidy level, but not transcriptome wide as previously speculated. Instead, it was found only in a restricted number of genes, particularly ones with functions related to mitochondria and ribosomes. This leads us to hypothesize that allelic silencing may be a way to overcome intergenomic gene expression interaction conflicts, and that homoeolog expression bias may be an important mechanism in the achievement of sustainable genomic interactions, mandatory to the success of allopolyploid systems, as in S. alburnoides.
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) mediate signal transmission in the brain and are important drug targets. Structural studies show snapshots of iGluRs, which provide a mechanistic understanding of gating, yet the rapid motions driving the receptor machinery are largely elusive. Here we detect kinetics of conformational change of isolated clamshell-shaped ligand-binding domains (LBDs) from the three major iGluR sub-types, which initiate gating upon binding of agonists. We design fluorescence probes to measure domain motions through nanosecond fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. We observe a broad kinetic spectrum of LBD dynamics that underlie activation of iGluRs. Microsecond clamshell motions slow upon dimerization and freeze upon binding of full and partial agonists. We uncover allosteric coupling within NMDA LBD hetero-dimers, where binding of L-glutamate to the GluN2A LBD stalls clamshell motions of the glycine-binding GluN1 LBD. Our results reveal rapid LBD dynamics across iGluRs and suggest a mechanism of negative allosteric cooperativity in NMDA receptors.
Despite sometimes strong codependencies of insect herbivores and plants, the responses of individual taxa to accelerating climate change are typically studied in isolation. For this reason, biotic interactions that potentially limit species in tracking their preferred climatic niches are ignored. Here, we chose butterflies as a prominent representative of herbivorous insects to investigate the impacts of temperature changes and their larval host plant distributions along a 1.4‐km elevational gradient in the German Alps. Following a sampling protocol of 2009, we revisited 33 grassland plots in 2019 over an entire growing season. We quantified changes in butterfly abundance and richness by repeated transect walks on each plot and disentangled the direct and indirect effects of locally assessed temperature, site management, and larval and adult food resource availability on these patterns. Additionally, we determined elevational range shifts of butterflies and host plants at both the community and species level. Comparing the two sampled years (2009 and 2019), we found a severe decline in butterfly abundance and a clear upward shift of butterflies along the elevational gradient. We detected shifts in the peak of species richness, community composition, and at the species level, whereby mountainous species shifted particularly strongly. In contrast, host plants showed barely any change, neither in connection with species richness nor individual species shifts. Further, temperature and host plant richness were the main drivers of butterfly richness, with change in temperature best explaining the change in richness over time. We concluded that host plants were not yet hindering butterfly species and communities from shifting upwards. However, the mismatch between butterfly and host plant shifts might become a problem for this very close plant–herbivore relationship, especially toward higher elevations, if butterflies fail to adapt to new host plants. Further, our results support the value of conserving traditional extensive pasture use as a promoter of host plant and, hence, butterfly richness.
Theory predicts that males and females should often join the mating pool at different times (sexual dimorphism in timing of emergence [SDT]) as the degree of SDT affects female mating success. We utilize an analytical model to explore (1) how important SDT is for female mating success, (2) how mating success might change if either sex's mortality (abruptly) increases, and (3) to what degree evolutionary responses in SDT may be able to mitigate the consequences of such mortality increase. Increasing male pre‐mating mortality has a non‐linear effect on the fraction of females mated: The effect is initially weak, but at some critical level a further increase in male mortality has a stronger effect than a similar increase in female mortality. Such a change is expected to impose selection for reduced SDT. Increasing mortality during the mating season has always a stronger effect on female mating success if the mortality affects the sex that emerges first. This bias results from the fact that enhancing mortality of the earlier emerging sex reduces female–male encounter rates. However, an evolutionary response in SDT may effectively mitigate such consequences. Further, if considered independently for females and males, the predicted evolutionary response in SDT could be quite dissimilar. The difference between female and male evolutionary response in SDT leads to marked differences in the fraction of fertilized females under certain conditions. Our model may provide general guidelines for improving harvesting of populations, conservation management of rare species under altered environmental conditions, or maintaining long‐term efficiency of pest‐control measures.
Distinct juvenile behaviour differences, changes in adult sizes and reproductive capacity and a long reproductive period triggered the working hypothesis of two alternative life-cycle strategies favouring aestivation or immediate reproduction. The hypothesis for the life-cycles of Hyperolius nitidulus that differed from the commonly assumed reproductive strategy for this species was confirmed by the results of this study. Aestivated juveniles start to mature at the beginning of the rainy season and reproduce subsequently. Their tadpoles grow until metamorphosis and either reproduce in this same season, in which case their offspring aestivates (one year - two generations), or they delay reproduction to the following year and aestivate themselves (one year - one generation). Juveniles trying to reproduce as fast as possible will invest in growth and differentiation and show no costly adaptations to aestivation, while juveniles delaying reproduction to the following rainy season will be well adapted to dry season conditions. Indirect evidence for the existence of a second generation was found in all three investigation years: adult size decreased abruptly towards the end of the rainy season, mainly due to the arrival of very small individuals, and clutch size decreased abruptly. Also at the end of the rainy season juveniles had two behavioural types: one hiding on the ground and clearly avoiding direct sunlight and another sitting freely above ground showing higher tolerance towards dry season conditions (high air temperatures and low humidity). Skin morphology differed between the types showing many more purine crystals in a higher order in the dry-season adapted juveniles. The final proof for the existence of a second generation came with the recapture of individuals marked as juveniles when they left the pond. The 45 recaptured frogs definitely came back to the pond to reproduce during the same season in 1999. Second generation frogs (males and females) were significantly smaller than the rest of all adults and egg diameter was reduced. Clutch size did not differ significantly. It was found that females did not discriminate against second generation males when coming to the ponds to reproduce. Second generation males had a similar chance to be found in amplexus as first generation males. Indirect and direct evidence for a second generation matched very well. The sudden size decrease in adults occurred just at the time when the first marked frogs returned. The observation that freshly metamorphosed froglets were able to sit in the sun directly after leaving the water led to the assumption that the decision whether to aestivate or to reproduce already happens during the frogs' larval period. Water chemistry and the influence of light was investigated to look for the factors triggering the decision, but only contaminated water increased the number of juveniles ready for aestivation. Whether the life history polymorphism observed in Hyperolius nitidulus is due to phenotypic plasticity or genetic polymorphism is still not known. Despite this uncertainty, there is no doubt that the optimal combination of different life histories is profitable and may be a reason for the wide range and high local abundance of Hyperolius nitidulus.
Altersassoziierte und strahleninduzierte Veränderungen des genomweiten DNA-Methylierungs-Profils
(2018)
Der Prozess des Alterns ist ein komplexer multifaktorieller Vorgang, der durch eine sukzessive Verschlechterung der physiologischen Funktionen charakterisiert ist. Ein hohes Alter ist der Hauptrisikofaktor für die meisten Krankheiten, einschließlich Krebs und Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen. Das Verständnis der epigenetischen Mechanismen, die in den Prozess des Alterns involviert sind, könnte zur Entwicklung pharmakologischer Interventionen beitragen, die nicht nur die Lebenserwartung erhöhen, sondern auch den Beginn des altersassoziierten funktionellen Abbaus verzögern könnten. Durch die Langzeit-Kultivierung primärer humaner Fibroblasten wurde ein in vitro Modell für das Altern etabliert, das die Identifizierung altersassoziierter DNA-Methylierungs-Veränderungen ermöglichte. Die in vitro Alterung konnte mit einer globalen Hypomethylierung und einer erhöhten DNA-Methylierung der ribosomalen DNA assoziiert werden. Darüber hinaus konnten DNA-Methylierungs-Veränderungen in Genen und Signalwegen, die für das Altern relevant sind, und ein erhöhtes epigenetisches Alter nachgewiesen werden.
Das in vitro Modell für das Altern wurde verwendet, um neben den direkten Effekten ionisierender Strahlung auf die DNA-Methylierung auch deren Langzeit-Effekte zu untersuchen. Die Strahlentherapie ist ein entscheidendes Element der Krebstherapie, hat aber auch negative Auswirkungen und kann unter anderem das Risiko für die Entwicklung eines Zweittumors erhöhen. Bei externer Bestrahlung wird neben dem Tumor auch gesundes Gewebe ionisierender Strahlung ausgesetzt. Daher ist es wichtig zu untersuchen, wie Zellen mit intakten DNA-Reparatur-Mechanismen und funktionierenden Zellzyklus-Checkpoints durch diese beeinflusst werden. In der frühen Phase der DNA-Schadensantwort auf Bestrahlung wurden in normalen Zellen keine wesentlichen DNA-Methylierungs-Veränderungen beobachtet. Mehrere Populations-Verdoppelungen nach Strahlenexposition konnten dagegen eine globale Hypomethylierung, eine erhöhte DNA-Methylierung der ribosomalen DNA und ein erhöhtes epigenetisches Alter detektiert werden. Des Weiteren zeigten Gene und Signalwege, die mit Krebs in Verbindung gebracht wurden, Veränderungen in der DNA-Methylierung. Als Langzeit-Effekte ionisierender Strahlung traten somit die mit der in vitro Alterung assoziierten DNA-Methylierungs-Veränderungen verstärkt auf und ein epigenetisches Muster, das stark an das DNA-Methylierungs-Profil von Tumorzellen erinnert, entstand. Man geht davon aus, dass Veränderungen der DNA-Methylierung eine aktive Rolle in der Entwicklung eines Tumors spielen. Die durch ionisierende Strahlung induzierten DNA-Methylierungs-Veränderungen in normalen Zellen könnten demnach in die Krebsentstehung nach Strahlenexposition involviert sein und zu dem sekundären Krebsrisiko nach Strahlentherapie beitragen. Es ist bekannt, dass Patienten unterschiedlich auf therapeutische Bestrahlung reagieren. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit weisen darauf hin, dass die individuelle Sensitivität gegenüber ionisierender Strahlung auch auf epigenetischer Ebene beobachtet werden kann.
In einem zweiten Projekt wurden Gesamtblutproben von Patienten mit Werner-Syndrom, einer segmental progeroiden Erkrankung, und gesunden Kontrollen analysiert, um mit dem vorzeitigen Altern in Verbindung stehende DNA-Methylierungs-Veränderungen zu identifizieren. Werner-Syndrom konnte nicht mit einer globalen Hypomethylierung, jedoch mit einer erhöhten DNA-Methylierung der ribosomalen DNA und einem erhöhten epigenetischen Alter assoziiert werden. Das vorzeitige Altern geht demzufolge mit spezifischen epigenetischen Veränderungen einher, die eine Beschleunigung der mit dem normalen Altern auftretenden DNA-Methylierungs-Veränderungen darstellen.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit konnte die Bedeutung epigenetischer Mechanismen im Prozess des Alterns hervorgehoben werden und gezeigt werden, dass sowohl exogene Faktoren, wie ionisierende Strahlung, als auch endogene Faktoren, wie das in Werner-Syndrom-Patienten mutiert vorliegende WRN-Gen, altersassoziierte DNA-Methylierungs-Veränderungen beeinflussen können.
Die postovulatorische Alterung sowie die ovarielle Alterung konnten bei der Anwendung assistierter Reproduktionstechniken (ARTs) als entscheidende Faktoren identifiziert werden, die den Reproduktionserfolg nachhaltig beeinträchtigen. Die postovulatorische Alterung tritt ein, sobald die reife Eizelle nicht mehr innerhalb ihres physiologischen Zeitfensters befruchtet wird. Die ovarielle Alterung beschreibt hingegen die Abnahme des Follikel-Vorrats mit zunehmendem Alter des weiblichen Individuums bzw. des Ovars. Sowohl die postovulatorische Alterung als auch die ovarielle Alterung führen u.a. zu einer reduzierten Oozytenqualität und einer geringeren Blastozystenrate. Die Zielsetzung dieser Arbeit bestand darin, den Einfluss der postovulatorischen Alterung und der ovariellen Alterung im Holstein-Rind (Bos taurus) auf die DNA-Methylierung entwicklungsrelevanter Gene in Eizellen und Embryonen zu untersuchen. Aus Schlachthof-Ovarien wurden Antralfollikeln unterschiedlicher Größe (<2 mm, 3-5 mm und >6 mm) isoliert. Eizellen aus Follikeln der Größe 3-5 mm wurden für 24h (physiologisch) und 48h (gealtert) in vitro gereift (IVM). Die gereiften Oozyten wurden anschließend in vitro fertilisiert und Embryonen im 4-6 Zellstadium generiert. Sowohl in den unreifen Eizellen aus Antralfollikeln unterschiedlicher Größe als auch in den gereiften Oozyten und den Embryonen wurde die Promotormethylierung der Gene bH19, bSNRPN, bZAR1, bDNMT3A, bOCT4, bDNMT3Lo und bDNMT3Ls analysiert. Zur Untersuchung der ovariellen Alterung wurden mittelgroßen Antralfollikel aus Ovarien lebender Rinder (in vivo) unterschiedlichen Alters (9-12 Monate, 3-7 Jahre und 8-11 Jahre) gewonnen. In den daraus isolierten unreifen Eizellen wurde die DNA-Methylierung der Promotorregionen der Gene bTERF2, bREC8, bBCL-XL, bPISD, bBUB1, bDNMT3Lo, bH19 und bSNRPN bestimmt. Als Methode zur Analyse der Promotormethylierung wurde die Limiting Dilution Bisulfit-Sequenzierung angewendet.
In unreifen Eizellen aus Antralfollikeln unterschiedlicher Größe (<2 mm, 3-5 mm und >6 mm) konnte ein erhöhtes Auftreten abnormal methylierter Allele in den geprägten Genen bH19 und bSNRPN von Eizellen kleiner Follikel (<2 mm) identifiziert werden. Dieses Ergebnis könnte eine mögliche Ursache einer bereits bekannten und mehrfach beschriebenen geringeren Entwicklungskompetenz von Eizellen kleiner Follikel (<2 mm) auf epigenetischer Ebene darstellen.
Die verlängerte Reifungsdauer der IVM-Eizellen hatte eine signifikante Hypermethylierung in der Promotorregion des Gens DNMT3Lo von 48h-gereiften Eizellen zur Folge. Beim Übergang von 48h-gereiften Eizellen zum Embryo konnte eine signifikante Hypomethylierung von CpG7 des stammzellspezifischen Transkripts DNMT3Ls beobachtet werden. Diese CpG-Stelle wies ebenfalls einen signifikanten Anstieg von CpGs mit nicht-eindeutigem Methylierungszustand in unreifen Eizellen mit steigender Follikelgröße auf. Da sich die CpG-Position innerhalb eines Sequenz-Motivs einer Bindungsstelle des Transkriptionsfaktors CREB befindet, könnten die Methylierungsdaten auf eine Interaktion zwischen dem Transkriptionsfaktor CREB und der DNA-Methylierung während der Entwicklung und Reifung der Eizelle sowie der Transition von der Eizelle zum Embryo hindeuten.
Die DNA-Methylierungsprofile der untersuchten Gene in unreifen Eizellen aus Kühen unterschiedlichen Alters (9-12 Monate, 3-7 Jahre und 8-11 Jahre) wiesen keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen den Altersgruppen auf. Die ovarielle Alterung bei Rindern zwischen 9 Monaten und 11 Jahren zeigte damit keinen Effekt auf die DNA-Methylierung der untersuchten Promotorregionen der Gene bTERF2, bREC8, bBCL-XL, bPISD, bBUB1, bDNMT3Lo, bH19 und bSNRPN.
Nach einer simulierten postovulatorischen Alterung durch eine in vitro Reifung für 48h konnte eine Veränderung der DNA-Methylierung der Oozyten-spezifischen (DNMT3Lo) und Stammzell-spezifischen (DNMT3Ls) Promotoren des katalytisch inaktiven Cofaktors von DNMT3A, DNMT3L, beobachtet werden. Die veränderte DNA-Methylierung von DNMT3Ls tritt dabei erst im frühen Embryo in Erscheinung und interagiert vermutlich mit dem Transkriptionsfaktor CREB. Die Veränderungen von DNMT3Lo in Eizellen und DNMT3Ls in den daraus generierten Embryonen lässt vermuten, dass es sich hierbei um eine dynamische Anpassung des Embryos auf äußere Umweltbedingungen der Eizelle über die Methylierung der DNA handelt.
A viral infection involves entry and replication of viral nucleic acid in a host organism, subsequently leading to biochemical and structural alterations in the host cell. In the case of SARS-CoV-2 viral infection, over-activation of the host immune system may lead to lung damage. Albeit the regeneration and fibrotic repair processes being the two protective host responses, prolonged injury may lead to excessive fibrosis, a pathological state that can result in lung collapse. In this review, we discuss regeneration and fibrosis processes in response to SARS-CoV-2 and provide our viewpoint on the triggering of alveolar regeneration in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.
Sequence Logos and its variants are the most commonly used method for visualization of multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) and sequence motifs. They provide consensus-based summaries of the sequences in the alignment. Consequently, individual sequences cannot be identified in the visualization and covariant sites are not easily discernible. We recently proposed Sequence Bundles, a motif visualization technique that maintains a one-to-one relationship between sequences and their graphical representation and visualizes covariant sites. We here present Alvis, an open-source platform for the joint explorative analysis of MSAs and phylogenetic trees, employing Sequence Bundles as its main visualization method. Alvis combines the power of the visualization method with an interactive toolkit allowing detection of covariant sites, annotation of trees with synapomorphies and homoplasies, and motif detection. It also offers numerical analysis functionality, such as dimension reduction and classification. Alvis is user-friendly, highly customizable and can export results in publication-quality figures. It is available as a full-featured standalone version (http://www.bitbucket.org/rfs/alvis) and its Sequence Bundles visualization module is further available as a web application (http://science-practice.com/projects/sequence-bundles).
The purification and the amino acid sequence of a proteolipid translated on ribosomes in yeast mitochondria is reported. This protein, which is a subunit of the A TP synthase, was purified by extraction with chloroform/methanol (2/1) and subsequent chromatography on phosphocellulose and reverse phase h.p.l.c. A mol. wt. of 5500 was estimated by chromatography on Bio-Gel P-30 in 8011/o fonnie acid. The complete amino acid sequence of this protein was determined by automated solid phase Edman degradation of the whole protein and of fragments obtained after cleavage with cyanogen bromide. The sequence analysis indicates a length of 48 amino acid residues. The calculated mol. wt. of 5870 corresponds to the value found by gel chromatography. This polypeptide contains three basic residues and no negatively charged side chain. The three basic residues are clustered at the C terminus. The primary structure of this protein is in full agreement with the predicted amino acid sequence of the putative polypeptide encoded by the mitochondrial aap1 gene recently discovered in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Moreover, this protein shows 5011/o homology with the amino acid sequence of a putative polypeptide encoded by an unidentified reading frame also discovered near the mitochondrial ATPase subunit 6 genein Aspergillus nidulans.
Amphibian communities of the dry forest of Western Madagascar : taxonomy, ecology and conservation
(2006)
The amphibian fauna of the Kirindy dry forest in western Madagascar Abstracts of chapter 5 and 6 Living apart together – patterns of tadpole communities in a western Madagascan dry forest Whether communities are established in a deterministic or in a stochastic manner depends to a large degree on the spatial scale considered. In this study we use a tadpole community in the dry forest of western Madagascar to show that when within-site habitat diversity is considered, communities may also differ in two community parameters (species composition and species richness) within one geographic scale. Forest ponds and riverbed ponds are two types of breeding habitat that are both used by anurans but that differ generally in their temporal availability, predation pressure, and environmental characteristics. In forest ponds, tadpole communities were very predictable by the physical properties of the ponds and by their vegetation characteristics. In contrast, the riverbed communities were not predictable. We offer two hypotheses to explain this phenomenon. This study clearly demonstrates differing patterns in community organization in two natural habitats within one site, and therefore, highlights the importance of considering local conditions and within-site habitat diversity in community studies. Modeling the habitat use of an endangered dry-forest frog from Western Madagascar A crucial factor for the successful reproduction and thus conservation of an amphibian species is the availability of suitable waters as breeding sites. In this chapter, we examine the use of breeding sites of an endangered, local endemic frog of Western Madagascar, Aglyptodactylus laticeps, over a three year period. Logistic regression was used to model the relationship between the species’ breeding habitat use and environmental variables. This model was aimed to be predictive, rather than explanatory, and only environmental variables were included that are assessable in a time and cost effective manner, and that can therefore be used as an easy-to-use management tool in applied conservation. On the local scale of the Kirindy concession, A. laticeps is restricted to forest with a relatively low degree of disturbance and closed canopy cover. The model identified three environmental variables that suffice to satisfactorily predict the use of respective breeding sites, namely leaf litter, vegetation coverage and surface water plants. Based on these results, we present recommendations for the conservation management of this frog. Furthermore, the presence or absence of this species within its natural range indicates the relative degree of environmental integrity of its habitat, and we therefore consider this species as a suitable indicator species of temporary aquatic habitats within the dry forest that are characterized by a low water permanency and high leaf litter coverage. This study demonstrates that models constructed from basic ecological knowledge of relevant species may serve as valuable management tools in applied conservation.
Most natural learning situations are of a complex nature and consist of a tight conjunction of the animal's behavior (B) with the perceived stimuli. According to the behavior of the animal in response to these stimuli, they are classified as being either biologically neutral (conditioned stimuli, CS) or important (unconditioned stimuli, US or reinforcer). A typical learning situation is thus identified by a three term contingency of B, CS and US. A functional characterization of the single associations during conditioning in such a three term contingency has so far hardly been possible. Therefore, the operational distinction between classical conditioning as a behavior-independent learning process (CS-US associations) and operant conditioning as essentially behavior-dependent learning (B-US associations) has proven very valuable. However, most learning experiments described so far have not been successful in fully separating operant from classical conditioning into single-association tasks. The Drosophila flight simulator in which the relevant behavior is a single motor variable (yaw torque), allows for the first time to completely separate the operant (B-US, B-CS) and the classical (CS-US) components of a complex learning situation and to examine their interactions. In this thesis the contributions of the single associations (CS-US, B-US and B-CS) to memory formation are studied. Moreover, for the first time a particularly prominent single association (CS-US) is characterized extensively in a three term contingency. A yoked control shows that classical (CS-US) pattern learning requires more training than operant pattern learning. Additionally, it can be demonstrated that an operantly trained stimulus can be successfully transferred from the behavior used during training to a new behavior in a subsequent test phase. This result shows unambiguously that during operant conditioning classical (CS-US) associations can be formed. In an extension to this insight, it emerges that such a classical association blocks the formation of an operant association, which would have been formed without the operant control of the learned stimuli. Instead the operant component seems to develop less markedly and is probably merged into a complex three-way association. This three-way association could either be implemented as a sequential B-CS-US or as a hierarchical (B-CS)-US association. The comparison of a simple classical (CS-US) with a composite operant (B, CS and US) learning situation and of a simple operant (B-US) with another composite operant (B, CS and US) learning situation, suggests a hierarchy of predictors of reinforcement. Operant behavior occurring during composite operant conditioning is hardly conditioned at all. The associability of classical stimuli that bear no relation to the behavior of the animal is of an intermediate value, as is operant behavior alone. Stimuli that are controlled by operant behavior accrue associative strength most easily. If several stimuli are available as potential predictors, again the question arises which CS-US associations are formed? A number of different studies in vertebrates yielded amazingly congruent results. These results inspired to examine and compare the properties of the CS-US association in a complex learning situation at the flight simulator with these vertebrate results. It is shown for the first time that Drosophila can learn compound stimuli and recall the individual components independently and in similar proportions. The attempt to obtain second-order conditioning with these stimuli, yielded a relatively small effect. In comparison with vertebrate data, blocking and sensory preconditioning experiments produced conforming as well as dissenting results. While no blocking could be found, a sound sensory preconditioning effect was obtained. Possible reasons for the failure to find blocking are discussed and further experiments are suggested. The sensory preconditioning effect found in this study is revealed using simultaneous stimulus presentation and depends on the amount of preconditioning. It is argued that this effect is a case of 'incidental learning', where two stimuli are associated without the need of reinforcement. Finally, the implications of the results obtained in this study for the general understanding of memory formation in complex learning situations are discussed.
Autoimmune myositis encompasses various myositis-overlap syndromes, each being identified by the presence of serum marker autoantibodies. We describe a novel myositis-overlap syndrome in 4 patients characterized by the presence of a unique immunologic marker, autoantibodies to nuclear pore complexes. The clinical phenotype was characterized by prominent myositis in association with erosive, anti-CCP, and rheumatoid factor-positive arthritis, trigeminal neuralgia, mild interstitial lung disease, Raynaud phenomenon, and weight loss. The myositis was typically chronic, relapsing, and refractory to corticosteroids alone, but remitted with the addition of a second immuno-modulating drug. There was no clinical or laboratory evidence for liver disease. The prognosis was good with 100% long-term survival (mean follow-up 19.5 yr). By indirect immunofluorescence on HEp-2 cells, sera from all 4 patients displayed a high titer of antinuclear autoantibodies (ANA) with a distinct punctate peripheral (rim) fluorescent pattern of the nuclear envelope characteristic of nuclear pore complexes. Reactivity with nuclear pore complexes was confirmed by immunoelectron microscopy. In a cohort of 100 French Canadian patients with autoimmune myositis, the nuclear pore complex fluorescent ANA pattern was restricted to these 4 patients (4%). It was not observed in sera from 393 adult patients with systemic sclerosis (n = 112), mixed connective tissue disease (n = 35), systemic lupus (n = 94), rheumatoid arthritis (n = 45), or other rheumatic diseases (n = 107), nor was it observed in 62 normal adults. Autoantibodies to nuclear pore complexes were predominantly of IgG isotype. No other IgG autoantibody markers for defined connective tissue diseases or overlap syndromes were present, indicating a selective and highly focused immune response. In 3 patients, anti-nuclear pore complex autoantibody titers varied in parallel with myositis activity, suggesting a pathogenic link to pathophysiology. The nuclear pore complex proteins, that is, nucleoporins (nup), recognized by these sera were heterogeneous and included Nup358/RanBP2 (n = 2 patients), Nup90 (n = 1), Nup62 (n = 1), and gp210 (n = 1). Taken together the data suggest that nup autoantigens themselves drive the anti-nup autoimmune response. Immunogenetically, the 4 patients shared the DQA1*0501 allele associated with an increased risk for autoimmune myositis. In conclusion, we report an apparent novel subset of autoimmune myositis in our population of French Canadian patients with connective tissue diseases. This syndrome is recognized by the presence of a unique immunologic marker, autoantibodies to nuclear pore complexes that react with nups, consistent with an "anti-nupsyndrome.''
Circadian endogenous clocks of eukaryotic organisms are an established and rapidly developing research field. To investigate and simulate in an effective model the effect of external stimuli on such clocks and their components we developed a software framework for download and simulation. The application is useful to understand the different involved effects in a mathematical simple and effective model. This concerns the effects of Zeitgebers, feedback loops and further modifying components. We start from a known mathematical oscillator model, which is based on experimental molecular findings. This is extended with an effective framework that includes the impact of external stimuli on the circadian oscillations including high dose pharmacological treatment. In particular, the external stimuli framework defines a systematic procedure by input-output-interfaces to couple different oscillators. The framework is validated by providing phase response curves and ranges of entrainment. Furthermore, Aschoffs rule is computationally investigated. It is shown how the external stimuli framework can be used to study biological effects like points of singularity or oscillators integrating different signals at once. The mathematical framework and formalism is generic and allows to study in general the effect of external stimuli on oscillators and other biological processes. For an easy replication of each numerical experiment presented in this work and an easy implementation of the framework the corresponding Mathematica files are fully made available. They can be downloaded at the following link: https://www.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de/bioinfo/computing/circadian/.
In this thesis, synaptic transmission was studied electrophysiologically at an invertebrate model synapse, the neuromuscular junction of the Drosophila 3rd instar wandering larvae. In the first part, synaptic function is characterized at the neuromuscular junction in fly lines which are null mutants for the synaptic proteins “the synapse associated protein of 47 kDa” (Sap-47156), Synapsin (Syn97), the corresponding double mutant (Sap-47156, Syn97), a null mutant for an as yet uncharacterized Drosophila SR protein kinase, the Serine-Arginine protein kinase 3 (SRPK3), and the Löchrig (Loe) mutant which shows a strong neurodegenerative phenotype. Intracellular voltage recordings from larval body wall muscles 6 and 7 were performed to measure amplitude and frequency of spontaneous single vesicle fusion events (miniature excitatory junction potentials or mEJPs). Evoked excitatory junction potentials (eEJPs) at different frequencies and calcium concentrations were also measured to see if synaptic transmission was altered in mutants which lacked these synaptic proteins. In addition, structure and morphology of presynaptic boutons at the larval neuromuscular junction were examined immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibodies against different synaptic vesicle proteins (SAP-47, CSP, and Synapsin) as well as the active zone protein Bruchpilot. Synaptic physiology and morphology was found to be similar in all null mutant lines. However, Löchrig mutants displayed an elongated bouton morphology, a significant shift towards larger events in mEJP amplitude frequency histograms, and increased synaptic facilitation during a 10 Hz tetanus. These deficits suggest that Loe mutants may have a defect in some aspect of synaptic vesicle recycling. The second part of this thesis involved the electrophysiological characterization of heterologously expressed light activated proteins at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction. Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2), a light gated ion channel, and a photoactivated adenylate cyclase (PAC) were expressed in larval motor neurons using the UAS-Gal4 system. Single EJPs could be recorded from muscles 15, 16, and 17 when larva expressing ChR2 were illuminated with short (100 ms) light pulses, whereas long light pulses (10 seconds) resulted in trains of EJPs with a frequency of around 25 Hz. Larva expressing PAC in preparations where motor neurons were cut from the ventral ganglion displayed a significant increase in mEJP frequency after a 1 minute exposure to blue light. Evoked responses in low (.2 mM) calcium were also significantly increased when PAC was stimulated with blue light. When motor nerves were left intact, PAC stimulation resulted in light evoked EJPs in muscles 6 and 7 in a manner consistent with RP3 motor neuron activity. ChR2 and PAC are therefore useful and reliable tools for manipulating neuronal activity in vivo.
Caterpillars of the butterfly Maculinea rebeli develop as parasites inside ant colonies. In intensively studied French populations, about 25% of caterpillars mature within 1 year (fast-developing larvae [FDL]) and the others after 2 years (slow-developing larvae [SDL]); all available evidence indicates that this ratio is under the control of egg-laying females. We present an analytical model to predict the evolutionarily stable fraction of FDL (pESS). The model accounts for added winter mortality of SDL, general and kin competition among caterpillars, a competitive advantage of SDL over newly entering FDL (priority effect), and the avoidance of renewed infection of ant nests by butterflies in the coming season (segregation). We come to the following conclusions: (1) all factors listed above can promote the evolution of delayed development; (2) kin competition and segregation stabilize pESS near 0.5; and (3) a priority effect is the only mechanism potentially selecting for. However, given the empirical data, pESS is predicted to fall closer to 0.5 than to the 0.25 that has been observed. In this particular system, bet hedging cannot explain why more than 50% of larvae postpone growth. Presumably, other fitness benefits for SDL, for example, higher fertility or longevity, also contribute to the evolution of delayed development. The model presented here may be of general applicability for systems where maturing individuals compete in small subgroups.
Background
The plant endophytic fungus Serendipita indica colonizes roots of a wide range of plant species and can enhance growth and stress resistance of these plants. Due to its ease of axenic cultivation and its broad host plant range including the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and numerous crop plants, it is widely used as a model fungus to study beneficial fungus-root interactions. In addition, it was suggested to be utilized for commercial applications, e.g. to enhance yield in barley and other species. To produce inoculum, S. indica is mostly cultivated in a complex Hill-Kafer medium (CM medium), however, growth in this medium is slow, and yield of chlamydospores, which are often used for plant root inoculation, is relatively low.
Results
We tested and optimized a simple vegetable juice-based medium for an enhanced yield of fungal inoculum. The described vegetable juice (VJ) medium is based on commercially available vegetable juice and is easy to prepare. VJ medium was superior to the currently used CM medium with respect to biomass production in liquid medium and hyphal growth on agar plates. Using solid VJ medium supplemented with sucrose (VJS), a high amount of chlamydospores developed already after 8 days of cultivation, producing significantly more spores than on CM medium. Use of VJ medium is not restricted to S. indica, as it also supported growth of two pathogenic fungi often used in plant pathology experiments: the ascomycete Fusarium graminearum, the causal agent of Fusarium head blight disease on wheat and barley, and Verticillium longisporum, the causal agent of verticillium wilt.
Conclusions
The described VJ medium is recommended for streamlined and efficient production of inoculum for the plant endophytic fungus Serendipita indica and might prove superior for the propagation of other fungi for research purposes.
The olive tree is a venerable Mediterranean plant and often used in traditional medicine. The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Olea europaea L. cv. Arbosana leaf extract (OLE) and its encapsulation within a spanlastic dosage form on the improvement of its pro-oxidant and antiproliferative activity against HepG-2, MCF-7, and Caco-2 human cancer cell lines. The LC-HRESIMS-assisted metabolomic profile of OLE putatively annotated 20 major metabolites and showed considerable in vitro antiproliferative activity against HepG-2, MCF-7, and Caco-2 cell lines with IC\(_{50}\) values of 9.2 ± 0.8, 7.1 ± 0.9, and 6.5 ± 0.7 µg/mL, respectively. The encapsulation of OLE within a (spanlastic) nanocarrier system, using a spraying method and Span 40 and Tween 80 (4:1 molar ratio), was successfully carried out (size 41 ± 2.4 nm, zeta potential 13.6 ± 2.5, and EE 61.43 ± 2.03%). OLE showed enhanced thermal stability, and an improved in vitro antiproliferative effect against HepG-2, MCF-7, and Caco-2 (IC\(_{50}\) 3.6 ± 0.2, 2.3 ± 0.1, and 1.8 ± 0.1 µg/mL, respectively) in comparison to the unprocessed extract. Both preparations were found to exhibit pro-oxidant potential inside the cancer cells, through the potential inhibitory activity of OLE against glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase (IC\(_{50}\) 1.18 ± 0.12 and 2.33 ± 0.19 µg/mL, respectively). These inhibitory activities were proposed via a comprehensive in silico study to be linked to the presence of certain compounds in OLE. Consequently, we assume that formulating such a herbal extract within a suitable nanocarrier would be a promising improvement of its therapeutic potential.
Systems biology looks for emergent system effects from large scale assemblies of molecules and data, for instance in the human platelets. However, the computational efforts in all steps before such insights are possible can hardly be under estimated. In practice this involves numerous programming tasks, the establishment of new database systems but as well their maintenance, curation and data validation. Furthermore, network insights are only possible if strong algorithms decipher the interactions, decoding the hidden system effects. This thesis and my work are all about these challenges. To answer this requirement, an integrated platelet network, PlateletWeb, was assembled from different sources and further analyzed for signaling in a systems biological manner including multilevel data integration and visualization. PlateletWeb is an integrated network database and was established by combining the data from recent platelet proteome and transcriptome (SAGE) studies. The information on protein-protein interactions and kinase-substrate relationships extracted from bioinformatical databases as well as published literature were added to this resource. Moreover, the mass spectrometry-based platelet phosphoproteome was combined with site-specific phosphorylation/ dephosphorylation information and then enhanced with data from Phosphosite and complemented by bioinformatical sequence analysis for site-specific kinase predictions. The number of catalogued platelet proteins was increased by over 80% as compared to the previous version. The integration of annotations on kinases, protein domains, transmembrane regions, Gene Ontology, disease associations and drug targets provides ample functional tools for platelet signaling analysis. The PlateletWeb resource provides a novel systems biological workbench for the analysis of platelet signaling in the functional context of protein networks. By comprehensive exploration, over 15000 phosphorylation sites were found, out of which 2500 have the corresponding kinase associations. The network motifs were also investigated in this anucleate cell and characterize signaling modules based on integrated information on phosphorylation and protein-protein interactions. Furthermore, many algorithmic approaches have been introduced, including an exact approach (heinz) based on integer linear programming. At the same time, the concept of semantic similarities between two genes using Gene Ontology (GO) annotations has become an important basis for many analytical approaches in bioinformatics. Assuming that a higher number of semantically similar gene functional annotations reflect biologically more relevant interactions, an edge score was devised for functional network analysis. Bringing these two approaches together, the edge score, based on the GO similarity, and the node score, based on the expression of the proteins in the analyzed cell type (e.g. data from proteomic studies), the functional module as a maximum-scoring sub network in large protein-protein interaction networks was identified. This method was applied to various proteome datasets (different types of blood cells, embryonic stem cells) to identify protein modules that functionally characterize the respective cell type. This scalable method allows a smooth integration of data from various sources and retrieves biologically relevant signaling modules.
Societal Impact Statement
Pollen relates to many aspects of human and environmental health, which protection and improvement are endorsed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. By highlighting these connections in the frame of current challenges in monitoring and research, we discuss the need of more integrative and multidisciplinary pollen research related to societal needs, improving health of humans and our ecosystems for a sustainable future.
Summary
Pollen is at once intimately part of the reproductive cycle of seed plants and simultaneously highly relevant for the environment (pollinators, vector for nutrients, or organisms), people (food safety and health), and climate (cloud condensation nuclei and climate reconstruction). We provide an interdisciplinary perspective on the many and connected roles of pollen to foster a better integration of the currently disparate fields of pollen research, which would benefit from the sharing of general knowledge, technical advancements, or data processing solutions. We propose a more interdisciplinary and holistic research approach that encompasses total environmental pollen diversity (ePD) (wind and animal and occasionally water distributed pollen) at multiple levels of diversity (genotypic, phenotypic, physiological, chemical, and functional) across space and time. This interdisciplinary approach holds the potential to contribute to pressing human issues, including addressing United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, fostering social and political awareness of these tiny yet important and fascinating particles.
Whereas the role of calcium ions (Ca\(^{2+}\)) in plant signaling is well studied, the physiological significance of pH‐changes remains largely undefined.
Here we developed CapHensor, an optimized dual‐reporter for simultaneous Ca\(^{2+}\) and pH ratio‐imaging and studied signaling events in pollen tubes (PTs), guard cells (GCs), and mesophyll cells (MCs). Monitoring spatio‐temporal relationships between membrane voltage, Ca\(^{2+}\)‐ and pH‐dynamics revealed interconnections previously not described.
In tobacco PTs, we demonstrated Ca\(^{2+}\)‐dynamics lag behind pH‐dynamics during oscillatory growth, and pH correlates more with growth than Ca\(^{2+}\). In GCs, we demonstrated abscisic acid (ABA) to initiate stomatal closure via rapid cytosolic alkalization followed by Ca2+ elevation. Preventing the alkalization blocked GC ABA‐responses and even opened stomata in the presence of ABA, disclosing an important pH‐dependent GC signaling node. In MCs, a flg22‐induced membrane depolarization preceded Ca2+‐increases and cytosolic acidification by c. 2 min, suggesting a Ca\(^{2+}\)/pH‐independent early pathogen signaling step. Imaging Ca2+ and pH resolved similar cytosol and nuclear signals and demonstrated flg22, but not ABA and hydrogen peroxide to initiate rapid membrane voltage‐, Ca\(^{2+}\)‐ and pH‐responses.
We propose close interrelation in Ca\(^{2+}\)‐ and pH‐signaling that is cell type‐ and stimulus‐specific and the pH having crucial roles in regulating PT growth and stomata movement.
An ordered NotI fragment map containing over 60 loci and encompassing approximately 17 Mb has been constructed for human chromosome band llpl5. Forty-two probes, including 11 NotI-linking cosmids, were subregionaUy mapped to llpl5 using a subset of the Jl-deletion hybrids. These and 23 other probes defining loci previously mapped to 11p15 were hybridized to genomic DNA digested with NotI and 5 other infrequently cleaving restriction enzymes and separated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Thirty-nine distinct NotI fragments were detected encompassing approximately 85% of the estimated length of llp15. The predicted order of the gene loci used is cenMYODI- PTH-CALCA-ST5-RBTNI-HPX-HBB-RRMlTH/ INS!1GF2-H19-CTSD-MUC2-DRD4-HRAS-RNHtel. This map wiu allow higher resolution mapping of new Ilp15 markers, facilitate positional cloning of disease genes, and provide a framework for the physical mapping of llp15 in clone contigs.
Melanotic melanoma (MM) of Xiphophorus (Teleostei: Poeciliidae) was studied by conventional preparations and freeze-etch preparations for electron microscopy. MM of Xiphophorus exhibits tightly packed pigment cells with prominent dendritic processes and interdigitations of their plasma membranes. The most impressive feature of MM cells is the occurrence of Iarge lobulated nuclei with numerous nuclear pores and some nuclear pockets. Abundant spheroidal or ellipsoidal melanosomes (diameter 200-650 nm) and vesicular structures are distributed throughout the cellular dendrites, whereas the perinucJear cytoplasm is free of melanosomes.
A further characteristic feature of melanoma cells in fish is the occurrence of melanosome complexes (i.e., "compound melanosomes"). These melanosome complexes consist of a few to numerous melanosomes, which are enveloped by a separate rnembrane. Pinocytotic vesicles couJd be demonstrated with distinct differences in frequency and distribution patterns, indicating differences in the metabolic activities of the cells in the same melanoma. Intercellular junctions are lacking in the MM cells.
The conventional TEM technique showed clear advantages in the demonstration of intemal architecture of organelles, whereas FE bad considerable potential in respect to the visualization of membrane surface specializations.
Background: Patterns that arise from an ecological process can be driven as much from the landscape over which the process is run as it is by some intrinsic properties of the process itself. The disentanglement of these effects is aided if it possible to run models of the process over artificial landscapes with controllable spatial properties. A number of different methods for the generation of so-called ‘neutral landscapes’ have been developed to provide just such a tool. Of these methods, a particular class that simulate fractional Brownian motion have shown particular promise. The existing methods of simulating fractional Brownian motion suffer from a number of problems however: they are often not easily generalisable to an arbitrary number of dimensions and produce outputs that can exhibit some undesirable artefacts. Methodology: We describe here an updated algorithm for the generation of neutral landscapes by fractional Brownian motion that do not display such undesirable properties. Using Monte Carlo simulation we assess the anisotropic properties of landscapes generated using the new algorithm described in this paper and compare it against a popular benchmark algorithm. Conclusion/Significance: The results show that the existing algorithm creates landscapes with values strongly correlated in the diagonal direction and that the new algorithm presented here corrects this artefact. A number of extensions of the algorithm described here are also highlighted: we describe how the algorithm can be employed to generate landscapes that display different properties in different dimensions and how they can be combined with an environmental gradient to produce landscapes that combine environmental variation at the local and macro scales.
Die Entwicklung von Ethanoltoleranz ist ein Indikator für eine mögliche Abhängigkeit von Alkohol. Der genaue molekulare Mechanismus der Ethanoltoleranzentwicklung ist jedoch nicht bekannt. Drosophila ermöglicht die molekulare und phänotypische Untersuchung von verschiedenen Mutanten mit veränderter Toleranz und kann so zu einem besseren Verständnis beitragen. Die hangAE10 Mutante entwickelt eine reduzierte Ethanoltoleranz, wobei dieser Phänotyp auf Defekte in der zellulären Stressantwort zurückzuführen ist. Für ein besseres Verständnis, in welchen molekularen Mechanismen bzw. Signalwegen HANG wirkt, wurde die Funktion des Proteins auf zellulärer Ebene analysiert und mögliche Zielgene charakterisiert. Die auffällige Proteinstruktur von HANG spricht für eine Interaktion mit Nukleinsäuren. Immunhistochemische Analysen von ektopisch exprimiertem Hangover Protein ergaben, dass dieses nicht mit der DNA co-lokalisiert und auch nicht an polytänen Chromosomen nachgewiesen werden kann. Die ektopische Expression von HANG in Speicheldrüsenzellen zeigte eine punktförmige Verteilung des Proteins innerhalb des Zellkerns. Dieses punktförmige Expressionsmuster wird häufig in RNA-bindenden Proteinen gefunden. Deshalb wurden Co-Lokalisationsstudien von HANG mit Markern für RNAmodifizierende Proteine durchgeführt. Dabei wurde keine Interaktion mit verschiedenen Markerproteinen des Spleißapparates gefunden. Mithilfe von in vitro Experimenten konnte aber die Bindung von RNA an bestimmten Hangover Proteinbereichen nachgewiesen werden Diese Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass HANG eine RNA-regulierende Funktion hat. In einem cDNA Microarray Experiment wurde das Gen dunce als mögliches Zielgen von Hangover identifiziert. Das Gen dunce kodiert für eine Phosphodiesterase, welche spezifisch cAMP hydrolysiert. Zur Bestätigung der cDNA Microarray Experimente wurden die dnc Transkriptunterschiede in Wildtyp und hangAE10 Mutante mithilfe von semiquantitativer RT-PCR für jede der vier Gruppen untersucht. Dabei konnte eine Reduktion der dncRMRA-Transkriptgruppe in hangAE10 Mutanten nachgewiesen werden. Aufgrund dieser Ergebnisse wurde die dncRMRA -spezifische dncΔ143 Mutante hergestellt und auf Verhaltensebene analysiert. Die Experimente zeigten, dass sowohl dnc1, als auch die dncΔ143 Mutante eine reduzierte Ethanoltoleranz und Defekte in der zellulären Stressantwort aufweisen. Für die Rettung der reduzierten Toleranz von hangAE10 und dncΔ143 in dncRMRA-spezifischen Neuronen wurde die dncRMRA Promotor- GAL4 Linie hergestellt. Die reduzierte Ethanoltoleranz der dncΔ143 Mutanten konnte über die Expression von UAS-dnc mit der dncRMRA-GAL4 Linie auf Wildtyp Level gerettet werden. Die reduzierte Toleranz der hangAE10 Mutante konnte mithilfe derselben GAL4 Linie verbessert werden. Dies beweist, dass in beiden Mutanten dieselben Zellen für die Entwicklung von Ethanoltoleranz benötigt werden und sie wahrscheinlich in der gleichen Signaltransduktionskaskade eine Funktion haben. Aufgrund der Anfälligkeit der UAS/ GAL4 Systems gegenüber Hitze war es außerdem nicht möglich die Defekte der zellulären Stressantwort von dncΔ143 bzw. hangAE10 Fliegen zu retten. Die Rettung der reduzierten Ethanoltoleranz der dcnΔ143 Mutante führte außerdem zu der Vermutung, dass die cAMP Regulation eine wichtige Funktion bei der Ethanoltoleranzentwicklung hat. Über die Expression von cAMP-regulierenden Proteinen in dncRMRA-spezifischen Neuronen wurde der Einfluss von cAMP bei Ethanol-induziertem Verhalten überprüft. Bei der Überexpression von dunce und rutabaga konnte weder eine Veränderung für die Ethanolsensitivität, noch für die Toleranzentwicklung festgestellt werden. Eine Erklärung hierfür wäre, dass Veränderungen in der cAMP Konzentration über Rückkopplungsmechanismen zwischen Dunce und Rutabaga ausgeglichen werden können. Für eine genauere Aussage müsste jedoch die cAMP Konzentration in diesen Fliegen gemessen werden. Die Überexpression von pka- in dncRMRA spezifischen Zellen führt zu einer erhöhten Ethanolresistenz. Das bedeutet, dass die Modulation der cAMP Konzentration durch dunce und rutabaga in dncRMRA spezifischen Zellen keinen Einfluss auf Ethanol-induziertes Verhalten hat, wohingegen die Stärke der cAMP vermittelten Signalverarbeitung über die cAMP-abhängige PKA zu Veränderungen im Verhalten führt. Für Mutanten des cAMP Signalweges ist außerdem bekannt, dass sie Defekte im olfaktorischen Lernen bzw. Gedächtnis aufweisen. Deshalb wurden die dncΔ143, dnc1 und hangAE10 Mutanten in diesem Paradigma getestet. Sowohl dnc1, als auch dncΔ143 Fliegen zeigten einen reduzierten Performance Index für das zwei und 30 Minuten Gedächtnis. Nach 180 Minuten verhielten sich die dncΔ143 Mutanten nicht mehr unterschiedlich zum Wildtyp, die dnc1 Mutante zeigte jedoch immer noch eine Reduktion des Performance Index im Vergleich zur Kontrolle. Demnach ist in dncΔ143 Mutanten nur das Kurzzeitgedächtnis betroffen, wohingegen hangAE10 Mutanten keine Reduktion des Performance Index für das olfaktorische Kurzzeitgedächtnis aufweisen. Die unterschiedlichen Ergebnisse der beiden Mutanten in der Gedächtnisentwicklung deuten außerdem daraufhin, dass Lernen und Gedächtnis in dncΔ143 und hangAE10 Mutanten von der Toleranzentwicklung unabhängig über unterschiedliche cAMP-abhängige Signaltransduktionskaskaden reguliert werden.
Die Kernhülle ist eine hoch spezialisierte Membran, die den eukaryotischen Zellkern umgibt. Sie besteht aus der äußeren und der inneren Kernmembran, die über die Kernporenkomplexe miteinander verbunden werden. Die Kernhülle reguliert nicht nur den Transport von Makromolekülen zwischen dem Nukleoplasma und dem Zytoplasma, sie dient auch der Verankerung des Chromatins und des Zytoskeletts. Durch diese Interaktionen hilft die Kernhülle, den Zellkern innerhalb der Zelle und die Chromosomen innerhalb des Zellkerns zu positionieren, und reguliert dadurch die Expression bestimmter Gene. In höheren Eukaryoten durchlaufen sowohl die Kernhülle, als auch die Kernporenkomplexe während der Zellteilung strukturelle Veränderungen. Zu Beginn der Mitose werden sie abgebaut, um sich am Ende der Mitose in den Tochterzellen erneut zu bilden. Die molekularen Mechanismen, die zum Wiederaufbau der Kernhülle führen, sind kaum geklärt. Ein geeignetes System, um bestimmte Ereignisse bei der Kernhüllenbildung zu untersuchen, liefert das zellfreie System aus Xenopus Eiern und Spermienchromatin (Lohka 1998). Es konnte bereits früher gezeigt werden, dass es im Eiextrakt von Xenopus laevis mindestens zwei verschiedene Vesikelpopulationen gibt, die zur Bildung der Kernhülle beitragen. Eine der Vesikelpopulationen bindet an Chromatin, fusioniert dort und bildet eine Doppelmembran. Die andere Vesikelpopulation bindet an die bereits vorhandene Doppelmembran und sorgt für die Ausbildung der Kernporenkomplexe. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, diese beiden Membranfraktionen zu isolieren und zu charakterisieren, wobei das Hauptinteresse in der porenbildenden Membranfraktion lag. Durch Zentrifugation über einen diskontinuierlichen Zuckergradienten konnten die Membranvesikel in zwei verschiedene Vesikelfraktionen aufgetrennt werden. Eine Membranfraktion konnte aus der 40%igen Zuckerfraktion („40% Membranfraktion“) isoliert werden, die andere aus der 30%igen Zuckerfraktion („30% Membranfraktion“). Die verschiedenen Membranfraktionen wurden zu in vitro Kernen gegeben, in denen die Kernporen durch vorausgegangene Bildung von Annulate Lamellae depletiert worden waren. Nach Zugabe der 30% Membranfraktion konnte die Bildung von funktionalen Kernporen beobachtet werden. Im Gegensatz dazu zeigte die 40% Membranfraktion keine porenbildenden Eigenschaften. Unter Verwendung eines vereinfachten Systems, bestehend aus Zytosol, Spermienchromatin und den Membranen, wurde gezeigt, dass die 40% Membranfraktion an Chromatin bindet und ausreichend ist, um eine kontinuierliche Doppelmembran ohne Kernporen zu bilden. Die 30% Membranfraktion besitzt keine Chromatinbindungseigenschaften und wird aktiv entlang von Mikrotubuli zu den porenlosen Kernen transportiert. Dort interagiert sie mit der chromatingebundenen 40% Membranfraktion und induziert die Porenbildung. Nach dem Vergleich der Proteinzusammensetzung der beiden Membranfraktionen, konnte das Major Vault Protein (MVP) nur in der porenbildenden Membranfraktion gefunden werden. MVP ist die Hauptstrukturkomponente der Vault-Komplexe, einem Ribonukleo-proteinpartikel, der in den meisten eukaryotischen Zellen vorhanden ist (Kedersha et al., 1991). Bemerkenswerterweise wird über die Funktion der Vault-Komplexe, trotz ihrer übiquitären Expression und ihrem Vorkommen in fast allen eukaryotischen Zellen, immer noch diskutiert. Um mehr über die Funktion und die Lokalisation der Vaults/MVP zu lernen, wurden die Vaults in Anlehnung an die Methode von Kedersha und Rome (1986) aus Xenopus Eiern isoliert. Zusätzlich wurde rekombinantes Xenopus MVP hergestellt, das unter anderem für die Produktion von Antikörpern in Meerschweinchen verwendet wurde. Um herauszufinden, ob die Anwesenheit von MVP in der 30% Membranfraktion in direktem Zusammenhang mit deren porenbildender Eigenschaft steht, wurden gereinigte Vault-Komplexe oder rekombinantes MVP, das alleine ausreichend ist, um in sich zu den charakteristischen Vault-Strukturen zusammenzulagern, zu porenlosen Kernen gegeben. Sowohl gereinigte Vault-Komplexe, als auch rekombinantes MVP waren in der Lage in den porenlosen Kernen die Bildung von funktionalen Kernporen zu induzieren. Untersuchungen zur Lokalisation von MVP zeigten, dass MVP teilweise an der Kernhülle und den Kernporenkomplexen lokalisiert, während der Großteil an MVP zytoplasmatisch vorliegt. Dies sind die ersten Daten, die Vaults/MVP mit der Kernporenbildung in Verbindung bringen. Deshalb bietet diese Arbeit die Grundlage, um diese unerwartete Rolle der Vaults in Zukunft genauer zu charakterisieren.
Die Isolierung von Phagosomen ermöglicht die biochemische Analyse der Phagosomen-Zusammensetzung sowie der an der Phagosomenreifung beteiligten Moleküle. Deshalb wurde im Rahmen dieser Promotionsarbeit eine Methode entwickelt, die es ermöglicht, Bakterien-enthaltende Phagosomen zu isolieren. Diese Methode erzielt im Vergleich zu anderen in der Literatur beschriebenen Methoden eine gute Ausbeute (fast 40 Prozent) und vor allem eine höhere Reinheit an Bakterien-enthaltenden Phagosomen. So besteht keine Kontamination mit Teilen des Golgi-Apparates und nur eine sehr geringe Kontamination mit endosomalen und lysosomalen Proteinen sowie Plasmamembranbestandteilen. Allerdings wurde eine Kontamination mit Mitochondrien und ER detektiert. Letzteres muss nicht unbedingt eine Kontamination darstellen, sondern könnte ein wichtiger Bestandteil von Phagosomen sein. Afipia felis ist ein Gram-negatives Bakterium, das für einige Fälle der Katzen-Kratz Krankheit verantwortlich ist. Es kann innerhalb von Makrophagen überleben und sich vermehren. Die genaue Kompartimentierung der Afipia felis-enthaltenden Phagosomen in Makrophagen war allerdings unbekannt und sollte deshalb in der vorliegenden Promotionsarbeit analysiert werden. Ovalbumin Texas Red, mit dem Lysosomen vor der Infektion markiert wurden, gelangt nicht in die Afipien-enthaltenden Phagosomen, und die Afipien-enthaltenden Phagosomen sind auch nicht zugänglich für Ovalbumin Texas Red, mit dem das gesamte endozytische System nach der etablierten Infektion markiert wurde. Außerdem sind etablierte, isolierte Afipia felis-enthaltende Phagosomen nur in geringem Umfang positiv für spät endosomale/lysosomale Markerproteine und negativ für früh endosomale Markerproteine. Die Afipien, die ein nicht endozytisches Kompartiment etablieren, werden vom Makrophagen in ein EEA1-negatives Kompartiment aufgenommen, das auch zu späteren Zeitpunkten negativ für LAMP-1 ist. Nur die circa 30 Prozent der Afipien, die sich in einem Kompartiment befinden, das zum endozytischen System gehört, gelangen nach der Aufnahme durch den Makrophagen in ein EEA1-positives Kompartiment, das zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt positiv für LAMP-1 wird. Tötung der Afipien oder Opsonisierung mit Antikörpern vor der Infektion normalisiert die Reifung der Afipia felis-enthaltenden Phagosomen in den J774E-Makrophagen. Somit konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass die Mehrzahl der Phagosomen (70 Prozent), die Afipia felis enthalten, nicht zum endozytischen System gehören. Diese ungewöhnliche Kompartimentierung besteht bereits bei der Aufnahme und kann nur von lebenden Afipien etabliert werden. Rhodococcus equi ist ein Gram-positives Bakterium, das unter anderem Bronchopneumonien beim Fohlen verursacht. Aber auch Menschen und andere Säugetiere sind von Infektionen mit R. equi betroffen. Die Fähigkeit der Rhodokokken, innerhalb der Makrophagen zu überleben und sich zu vermehren, ist mit dem Vorhandensein eines 85 kbp Plasmids assoziiert. Da über die genaue Kompartimentierung von R. equi im Mausmakrophagen wenig bekannt war, und der Frage, ob es einen Unterschied zwischen der Kompartimentierung von R. equi(+)- und R. equi(-)-enthaltenden Phagosomen gibt, noch nicht nachgegangen wurde, war beides Thema dieser Promotionsarbeit. Dabei zeigt sich, dass R. equi(-)-enthaltende Phagosomen wesentlich stärker mit den spät endosomalen/lysosomalen Markerproteinen vATPase und LAMP-1 assoziiert sind sowie eine höhere ß-Galaktosidase-Aktivität aufweisen als die R. equi(+)-enthaltenden Phagosomen. Da sowohl die isolierten R. equi(-)- als auch die R. equi(+)-enthaltenden Phagosomen mit dem früh endosomalen Markerprotein rab5 assoziiert sind, ist anzunehmen, dass Rhodokokken unabhängig vom Vorhandensein des 85 kbp Plasmids in der Lage sind, die Phagosomenreifung zu verzögern. Aber R. equi(-) kann die Reifung zwar verzögern, aber letztendlich nicht verhindern. Wahrscheinlich reifen die Phagosomen, die R. equi(-) enthalten, zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt zu Phagolysosomen, wohingegen R. equi(+) ein ungewöhnliches Kompartiment etabliert und dadurch die Phagosomenreifung endgültig zu verhindern scheint. Somit ist anzunehmen, dass mindestens ein vom 85 kbp Plasmid kodiertes Molekül für die Etablierung dieses ungewöhnlichen, R. equi(+)-enthaltenden Kompartimentes, verantwortlich ist. Da eine Infektion mit Rhodococcus equi zytotoxisch für die infizierte Zelle sein kann, wurde die von den Rhodokokken vermittelte Zytotoxizität näher analysiert. Die in dieser vorliegenden Promotionsarbeit dargestellten Ergebnisse zeigen deutlich, dass nur die Plasmid-enthaltenden Rhodokokken zur Nekrose, aber nicht zur Apoptose ihrer Wirtszellen führen, während R. equi(-) keinen Einfluss auf die Vitalität ihrer Wirtszellen haben. Dieses Phänomen ist allerdings abhängig vom Wirtszelltyp. So sind R. equi(-) als auch R. equi(+) für humane Monozyten nur geringfügig zytotoxisch.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die Mechanismen der Hochdosis-GC-Pulstherapie im Zusammenhang mit akuten Schüben von MS-Patienten anhand des Tiermodells der MS, der Experimentellen Autoimmunen Enzephalomyelitis (EAE), untersucht. Die EAE wurde in C57Bl/6 Mäusen und diversen GR-defizienten Mäusen durch Immunisierung mit Myelinoligodendrozytenglykoprotein (MOG35-55) induziert. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Gabe von Dexamethason (Dex) den Krankheitsverlauf dosisabhängig verbessert. Die Untersuchung heterozygoter GR Knock-out Mäuse und hämatopoetischer Stammzellchimären verdeutlichte, dass der zytosolische GR (cGR) für die Vermittlung therapeutischer GC-Effekte von sehr großer Bedeutung ist. Der Einsatz zelltyp-spezifischer GR-defizienter Mäuse zeigte auf zellulärer Ebene, dass für die Vermittlung von GC-Wirkungen die Expression des GR vor allem in T-Zellen unabdingbar ist, wohingegen die GR-Expression in myeloiden Zellen in diesem Kontext keine Bedeutung hat. Durch die Analyse des molekularen Mechanismus konnte festgestellt werden, dass diese Effekte durch Apoptoseinduktion und Herunterregulieren von Adhäsionsmolekülen in peripheren, aber nicht ZNS-residenten T-Zellen erzielt wurden. Überdies wurde ersichtlich, dass Dex die T-Zellmigration in das ZNS verhinderte. Diese Beobachtung unterstützt die Hypothese, dass Dex durch Apoptoseinduktion und Immunmodulation hauptsächlich auf periphere T-Zellen wirkt und somit den ständigen Influx neuer Immunzellen in das ZNS verhindert. Ferner konnte in dieser Arbeit gezeigt werden, dass die therapeutische Gabe hochdosierten Methylprednisolons (MP) in diesem EAE-Modell ebenfalls zu einer dosisabhängigen Verbesserung der EAE führte. Diese beruhte auf einer reduzierten Lymphozyteninfiltration in das ZNS, war allerdings im Vergleich zur Dex-Therapie aufgrund geringerer Wirkpotenz weniger stark ausgeprägt. Im Gegensatz dazu führte die präventive MP-Applikation zu einem verstärkten EAE-Verlauf, der nach der Beeinflussung peripherer, hämatopoetischer Immunzellen auf eine verstärkte Proliferation autoreaktiver T-Zellen zurückzuführen ist. Im weiteren Verlauf der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde als möglicher Ersatz für die Hochdosis-GC-Pulstherapie eine nicht-steroidale, antiinflammatorische Substanz im chronischen EAE-Modell der C57Bl/6 Maus etabliert. Erste tierexperimentelle Untersuchungen mit Compound A (CpdA) offenbarten eine lediglich geringe therapeutische Breite dieser Substanz, wobei innerhalb pharmakologischer Dosierungen dennoch therapeutische Wirkungen vermittelt werden konnten. Anhand von in vitro Experimenten konnte eindeutig nachgewiesen werden, dass CpdA GR-unabhängig Apoptose induzierte, wobei Immunzellen und neuronale Zellen gegenüber CpdA besonders empfindlich reagierten. Der Einsatz T-Zell-spezifischer GR-defizienter Mäuse konnte zeigen, dass CpdA für die Vermittlung therapeutischer Wirkungen den cGR benötigt. Ferner wurde offensichtlich, dass CpdA in Abwesenheit des cGR in T-Zellen eine signifikante Verschlechterung der EAE verursachte. Durch die Anwendung physikochemischer Analysenmethoden, wie der Massenspektrometrie und 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie, konnte festgestellt werden, dass CpdA in vitro in gepufferten Medien in eine zyklische, chemisch sehr reaktive Verbindung (Aziridin) metabolisiert wird. Diese kann sehr wahrscheinlich für die Apoptose-Induktion in Zellen und die in Mäusen beobachteten neurotoxischen Ausfallerscheinungen verantwortlich gemacht werden. Durch chemische Analysen konnte in vitro in wässriger CpdA-Lösung ein weiterer Metabolit, das sympathomimetisch wirksame Synephrin, identifiziert werden. Um die Wirksamkeit adrenerger Substanzen in vivo zu testen, wurde das ß1/2-Sympathomimetikum Isoproterenol appliziert. Dieses verbesserte die EAE-Symptomatik, was sehr wahrscheinlich auf eine reduzierte Antigenpräsentation und einer damit verbundenen verminderten T-Zellinfiltration in das ZNS zurückzuführen ist.
Das zentrale Paradigma der Systembiologie zielt auf ein möglichst umfassendes Ver-ständnis der komplexen Zusammenhänge biologischer Systeme. Die in dieser Arbeit angewandten Methoden folgen diesem Grundsatz.
Am Beispiel von drei auf Basis von Datenbanken und aktueller Literatur rekonstruier-ten Netzwerkmodellen konnte in der hier vorliegenden Arbeit die Gültigkeit analyti-scher und prädiktiver Algorithmen nachgewiesen werden, die in Form der Analy-sesoftware Jimena angewandt wurden. Die daraus resultierenden Ergebnisse sowohl für die Berechnung von stabilen Systemzuständen, der dynamischen Simulation, als auch der Identifikation zentraler Kontrollknoten konnten experimentell validiert wer-den. Die Ergebnisse wurden in einem iterativen Prozess verwendet werden um das entsprechende Netzwerkmodell zu optimieren.
Beim Vergleich des Verhaltens des semiquantitativ ausgewerteten regulatorischen Netzwerks zur Kontrolle der Differenzierung humaner mesenchymaler Stammzellen in Chondrozyten (Knorpelbildung), Osteoblasten (Knochenbildung) und Adipozyten (Fett-zellbildung) konnten 12 wichtige Faktoren (darunter: RUNX2, OSX/SP7, SOX9, TP53) mit Hilfe der Berechnung der Bedeutung (Kontrollzentralität der Netzwerkknoten identifi-ziert werden). Der Abgleich des simulierten Verhaltens dieses Netzwerkes ergab eine Übereinstimmung mit experimentellen Daten von 47,2%, bei einem widersprüchlichen Verhalten von ca. 25%, dass unter anderem durch die temporäre Natur experimentel-ler Messungen im Vergleich zu den terminalen Bedingungen des Berechnung der stabilen Systemzustände erklärt werden kann.
Bei der Analyse des Netzwerkmodells der menschlichen Immunantwort auf eine Infek-tion durch A. fumigatus konnten vier Hauptregulatoren identifiziert werden (A. fumi-gatus, Blutplättchen, hier Platelets genannt, und TNF), die im Zusammenspiel mit wei-teren Faktoren mit hohen Zentralitätswerten (CCL5, IL1, IL6, Dectin-1, TLR2 und TLR4) fähig sind das gesamte Netzwerkverhalten zu beeinflussen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich das Aktivitätsverhalten von IL6 in Reaktion auf A. fumigatus und die regulato-rische Wirkung von Blutplättchen mit den entsprechenden experimentellen Resultaten deckt.
Die Simulation, sowie die Berechnung der stabilen Systemzustände der Immunantwort von A. thaliana auf eine Infektion durch Pseudomonas syringae konnte zeigen, dass die in silico Ergebnisse mit den experimentellen Ergebnissen übereinstimmen. Zusätzlich konnten mit Hilfe der Analyse der Zentralitätswerte des Netzwerkmodells fünf Master-regulatoren identifiziert werden: TGA Transkriptionsfaktor, Jasmonsäure, Ent-Kaurenoate-Oxidase, Ent-kaurene-Synthase und Aspartat-Semialdehyd-Dehydrogenase.
Während die ersteren beiden bereits lange als wichtige Regulatoren für die Gib-berellin-Synthese bekannt sind, ist die immunregulatorische Funktion von Aspartat-Semialdehyd-Dehydrogenase bisher weitgehend unbekannt.
The phase space for the standard model of the basic four forces for n quanta includes all possible ensemble combinations of their quantum states m, a total of n**m states. Neighbor states reach according to transition possibilities (S-matrix) with emergent time from entropic ensemble gradients.
We replace the “big bang” by a condensation event (interacting qubits become decoherent) and inflation by a crystallization event – the crystal unit cell guarantees same symmetries everywhere. Interacting qubits solidify and form a rapidly growing domain where the n**m states become separated ensemble states, rising long-range forces stop ultimately further growth. After that very early events, standard cosmology with the hot fireball model takes over. Our theory agrees well with lack of inflation traces in cosmic background measurements, large-scale structure of voids and filaments, supercluster formation, galaxy formation, dominance of matter and life-friendliness.
We prove qubit interactions to be 1,2,4 or 8 dimensional (agrees with E8 symmetry of our universe). Repulsive forces at ultrashort distances result from quantization, long-range forces limit crystal growth. Crystals come and go in the qubit ocean. This selects for the ability to lay seeds for new crystals, for self-organization and life-friendliness.
We give energy estimates for free qubits vs bound qubits, misplacements in the qubit crystal and entropy increase during qubit decoherence / crystal formation. Scalar fields for color interaction and gravity derive from the permeating qubit-interaction field. Hence, vacuum energy gets low only inside the qubit crystal. Condensed mathematics may advantageously model free / bound qubits in phase space.
The live sciences currently undergo a paradigm shift to computer aided discoveries. Discoveries in the live sciences were historically made by either direct observation or as a result of chemical assays. Today we see a growing shift toward computer aided analysis and visualization. This gradual process happens in microscopy. Multidimensional laser scanning microscopy can acquire very complex multichannel data from fixed or live specimen. New probes such as visible fluorescent proteins let us observe the expression of genes and track protein localization. Ion sensitive dyes change intensity with the concentration of ions in the cell. The laser scanning confocal allows us to record these processes in three dimensions over time. This work demonstrates the application of software analysis to multidimensional microscopy data. We introduce methods for volume investigation, ion flux analysis and molecular modeling. The visualization methods are based on a multidimensional data model to accommodate complex datasets. The software uses vector processing and multiple processors to accelerate volume rendering and achieve interactive rendering. The algorithms are based on human visual perception and allow the observer a wide range of mixed render modes. The software was used to reconstruct the pituitary development in zebrafish and observe the degeneration of neurons after injury in a mouse model. Calicum indicator dyes have long been used to study calcium fluxes. We optimized the imaging method to minimize impact on the cell. Live cells were imaged continuously for 45 minutes and subjected to increasing does of a drug. We correlated the amplitude of calcium oscillations to increasing doses of a drug and obtain single cell dose response curves. Because this method is very sensitive and measures single cell responses it has potential in drug discovery and characterization. Microtubules form a dynamic cytoskeleton, which is responsible for cell shape, intracellular transport and has an integral role in mitosis. A hallmark of microtubule organization is lateral interactions. Microtubules are bundles by proteins into dense structures. To estimate the contribution of this bundling process, we created a fractal model of microtubule organization. This model demonstrates that morphology of complex microtubule arrays can be explained by bundling alone. In summary we showed that advances in software for visualization, data analysis and modeling lead to new discoveries.
Analysis of \(Trypanosoma\) \(brucei\) motility and the infection process in the tsetse fly vector
(2021)
African trypanosomes are protist pathogens that are infective for a wide spectrum of mammalian hosts. Motility has been shown to be essential for their survival and represents an important virulence factor. Trypanosoma brucei is transmitted by the bite of the bloodsucking tsetse fly, the only vector for these parasites. The voyage through the fly is complex and requires several migration, proliferation and differentiation steps, which take place in a defined order and in specific fly tissues.
The first part of this doctoral thesis deals with the establishment of the trypanosome tsetse system as a new model for microswimmer analysis. There is an increasing interdisciplinary interest in microbial motility, but a lack of accessible model systems. Therefore, this work introduces the first enclosed in vivo host parasite system that is suitable for analysis of diverse microswimmer types in specific microenvironments. Several methods were used and adapted to gain unprecedented insights into trypanosome motion, the fly´s interior architecture and the physical interaction between host and parasite. This work provides a detailed overview on trypanosome motile behavior as a function of development in diverse host surroundings. In additional, the potential use of artificial environments is shown. This can be used to partly abstract the complex fly architecture and analyze trypanosome motion in defined nature inspired geometries.
In the second part of the thesis, the infection of the tsetse fly is under investigation. Two different trypanosome forms exist in the blood: proliferative slender cells and cell cycle arrested stumpy cells. Previous literature states that stumpy cells are pre adapted to survive inside the fly, whereas slender cells die shortly after ingestion. However, infection experiments in our laboratory showed that slender cells were also potentially infective. During this work, infections were set up so as to minimize the possibility of stumpy cells being ingested, corroborating the observation that slender cells are able to infect flies. Using live cell microscopy and fluorescent reporter cell lines, a comparative analysis of the early development following infection with either slender or stumpy cells was performed. The experiments showed, for the first time, the survival of slender trypanosomes and their direct differentiation to the procyclic midgut stage, contradicting the current view in the field of research. Therefore, we can shift perspectives in trypanosome biology by proposing a revised life cycle model of T. brucei, where both bloodstream stages are infective for the vector.
Melanoma formation in Xiphophorus hybrids is mediated by a growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase oncogene encoded by the Tu locus. In the wild-type parental fish no tumors occur due to the activity of a locus that regulates the activity of the melanoma oncogene. Molecu/ar identification of this regulatory locus (R) requires a precise physical map of the chromosomal region. Therefore we studied esterase isozymes in Xiphophorus, two of which have been previously reported to be linked to locus R. We confinn that ES 1 is a distant marker for R ( approx. 30cM), and contrary to earlier studies, we show that this isozyme is present in all species of the genus and at similar activity Ievels in all organs tested. ES4, which has also been reported to be linked to R, was found to be a misclassification of liver ES1. In an attempt to identify markersthat bridge the large distance between ESl and R, we have generated DNA probes which are highly polymorphic. They will be useful in finding Iandmarks on a physical map of the R-containing chromosomal region.
Epigenetic alterations may contribute to the generation of cancer cells in a multi-step process of tumorigenesis following irradiation of normal body cells. Primary human fibroblasts with intact cell cycle checkpoints were used as a model to test whether X-ray irradiation with 2 and 4 Gray induces direct epigenetic effects (within the first cell cycle) in the exposed cells. ELISA-based fluorometric assays were consistent with slightly reduced global DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation, however the observed between-group differences were usually not significant. Similarly, bisulfite pyrosequencing of interspersed LINE-1 repeats and centromeric α-satellite DNA did not detect significant methylation differences between irradiated and non-irradiated cultures. Methylation of interspersed ALU repeats appeared to be slightly increased (one percentage point; p = 0.01) at 6 h after irradiation with 4 Gy. Single-cell analysis showed comparable variations in repeat methylation among individual cells in both irradiated and control cultures. Radiation-induced changes in global repeat methylation, if any, were much smaller than methylation variation between different fibroblast strains. Interestingly, α-satellite DNA methylation positively correlated with gestational age. Finally, 450K methylation arrays mainly targeting genes and CpG islands were used for global DNA methylation analysis. There were no detectable methylation differences in genic (promoter, 5' UTR, first exon, gene body, 3' UTR) and intergenic regions between irradiated and control fibroblast cultures. Although we cannot exclude minor effects, i.e. on individual CpG sites, collectively our data suggest that global DNA methylation remains rather stable in irradiated normal body cells in the early phase of DNA damage response.
Efficient expression systems are required for analysis of gene regulation and function in teleost fish. To develop such systems, a nurober of inducible or constitutive promoter and enhancer sequences of fish or higher vertebrate origin were tested for activity in a variety of fish celllines andin embryos of the Japanese medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) and Xiphophorus. The activity of the different promoterenhancer combinations were quantitated. Considerable differences were found for some constructs if tested in vitro or in vivo. From the data obtained, a set of expression vectors for basic research as weH as for aquaculture purposes were established.
LINC complexes are evolutionarily conserved nuclear envelope bridges, composed of SUN (Sad-1/UNC-84) and KASH (Klarsicht/ANC-1/Syne/homology) domain proteins. They are crucial for nuclear positioning and nuclear shape determination, and also mediate nuclear envelope (NE) attachment of meiotic telomeres, essential for driving homolog synapsis and recombination. In mice, SUN1 and SUN2 are the only SUN domain proteins expressed during meiosis, sharing their localization with meiosis-specific KASH5. Recent studies have shown that loss of SUN1 severely interferes with meiotic processes. Absence of SUN1 provokes defective telomere attachment and causes infertility. Here, we report that meiotic telomere attachment is not entirely lost in mice deficient for SUN1, but numerous telomeres are still attached to the NE through SUN2/KASH5-LINC complexes. In Sun12/2 meiocytes attached telomeres retained the capacity to form bouquetlike clusters. Furthermore, we could detect significant numbers of late meiotic recombination events in Sun12/2 mice. Together, this indicates that even in the absence of SUN1 telomere attachment and their movement within the nuclear envelope per se can be functional.
Author summary:
Correct genome haploidization during meiosis requires tightly regulated chromosome movements that follow a highly conserved choreography during prophase I. Errors in these movements cause subsequent meiotic defects, which typically lead to infertility. At the beginning of meiotic prophase, chromosome ends are tethered to the nuclear envelope (NE). This attachment of telomeres appears to be mediated by well-conserved membrane spanning protein complexes within the NE (LINC complexes). In mouse meiosis, the two main LINC components SUN1 and SUN2 were independently described to localize at the sites of telomere attachment. While SUN1 has been demonstrated to be critical for meiotic telomere attachment, the precise role of SUN2 in this context, however, has been discussed controversially in the field. Our current study was targeted to determine the factual capacity of SUN2 in telomere attachment and chromosome movements in SUN1 deficient mice. Remarkably, although telomere attachment is impaired in the absence of SUN1, we could find a yet undescribed SUN1-independent telomere attachment, which presumably is mediated by SUN2 and KASH5. This SUN2 mediated telomere attachment is stable throughout prophase I and functional in moving telomeres within the NE. Thus, our results clearly indicate that SUN1 and SUN2, at least partially, fulfill redundant meiotic functions.
Mushroom bodies (MBs) are multisensory integration centers in the insect brain involved in learning and memory formation. In the honeybee, the main sensory input region (calyx) of MBs is comparatively large and receives input from mainly olfactory and visual senses, but also from gustatory/tactile modalities. Behavioral plasticity following differential brood care, changes in sensory exposure or the formation of associative long-term memory (LTM) was shown to be associated with structural plasticity in synaptic microcircuits (microglomeruli) within olfactory and visual compartments of the MB calyx. In the same line, physiological studies have demonstrated that MB-calyx microcircuits change response properties after associative learning. The aim of this review is to provide an update and synthesis of recent research on the plasticity of microcircuits in the MB calyx of the honeybee, specifically looking at the synaptic connectivity between sensory projection neurons (PNs) and MB intrinsic neurons (Kenyon cells). We focus on the honeybee as a favorable experimental insect for studying neuronal mechanisms underlying complex social behavior, but also compare it with other insect species for certain aspects. This review concludes by highlighting open questions and promising routes for future research aimed at understanding the causal relationships between neuronal and behavioral plasticity in this charismatic social insect.
Rhodococcus equi is a Gram-positive intracellular pathogen which can cause severe bronchopneumonia in foals. In recent years, the role of this bacterium as human pathogen has been noted, as R.equi infections in humans have increase in frequency. This increase is associated with the rise in immunosupressed individuals, specially AIDS patients, where infection leads to symptoms and pathology similar to those seen in foals with a high mortality rate. Due to its capability to survive and multiply in murine and equine macrophages, R.equi has been classified as a facultative intracellular bacterium. R.equi is found frequently in macrophages in alveolar infiltrate from infected animals. The pathogenicity of R.equi depends on its ability to exist and multiply inside macrophages and has been associated with the presence of virulence plasmids. It has been observed that, inside foal alveolar macrophages, R.equi-containing vacuoles (RCVs) do not mature into phagolysosomes. However, most of the intracellular events during R.equi infection have not been investigated in detail. The aim of this study was to elucidate the intracellular compartmentation of R.equi and the mechanism by which the bacteria avoid destruction in host macrophages. The importance of the virulence-associated plasmids of R.equi for the establishment of RCVs was also evaluated. Furthermore, the intracellular fate of viable and non-viable R.equi was compared in order to study whether viability of R.equi influeciantes the establishment of RCVs. In this study, the RCV was characterized by using a variety of endocytic markers to follow the path of the bacteria trhough murine macropages. Transmission electron microscopy-base analysis showed that R.equi was found equally frequently in phagosomes with loosely or thightly apposed membranes, and RCV often contains numerous membranous vesicles. Laser scanning microscopy of infected macrophages showed that the majority of phagosomes containing R.equi acquired transiently the early endosomal markers Rab5, Ptlns3P, and EEA-1, suggesting initially undisturbed phagosome maturation. Although the RCV acquired some late endosomal markers, such as Rab7, LAMP-1, and Lamp-2, they did not acquired vATPase, did not interact with pre-labeled lysosomes, and failed to acidify. These data clearly suggest that the RCV is a compartment which has left vacuoles that resemble multivesicular body compartments (MVB), which are transport intermediates between early and late endosomes and display internal vesicles very similar to the ones observed within RCVs. Analyisis of several R.equi strains containing either VapA- or VapB-expressing plasmids or neither demonstrated that the possession of the virulence-associated plasmids does not affect phagosome trafficking over a two hour period of infection. The finding that non-viable R.equi was still able to inhibit phagosome maturation (although not to the same extent as viable R.equi did) suggests that heat-insensitive factors, such as cell periphery lipids, may play a major role in inhibition of phagosome maturation, although heat-sensitive factors may also be involved.
The MEK5/ ERK5 kinase module is a relatively new discovered mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway with a poorly defined physiological function. Since ERK5 and its upstream activator MEK5 are abundant in skeletal muscle a function of the cascade during muscle differentiation was examined. ERK5 becomes activated upon induction of differentiation in mouse myoblasts. The selective activation of the pathway results in promoter activation of differentiation-specific genes, such as the cdk-inhibitor p21 gene, the myosin light chain (MLC1A) gene, or an E-box containing promoter element, where myogenic basic-helix-loop-helix proteins such as MyoD or myogenin bind. Moreover, myogenic differentiation is completely blocked, when ERK5 expression is inhibited by antisense RNA. The effect can be detected also on the expression level of myogenic determination and differentiation markers such as p21, MyoD and myogenin. Another new finding is that stable expression of ERK5 in C2C12 leads to differentiation like phenotype and to increased p21 expression levels under growth conditions. These results provide first evidence that the MEK5/ERK5 MAP kinase cascade is critical for early steps of muscle cell differentiation.
In mammals the melanocortin 4 receptor (Mc4r) signaling system has been mainly associated with the regulation of appetite and energy homeostasis. In fish of the genus Xiphophorus (platyfish and swordtails) puberty onset is genetically determined by a single locus, which encodes the mc4r. Wild populations of Xiphophorus are polymorphic for early and late-maturing individuals. Copy number variation of different mc4r alleles is responsible for the difference in puberty onset. To answer whether this is a special adaptation of the Mc4r signaling system in the lineage of Xiphophorus or a more widely conserved mechanism in teleosts, we studied the role of Mc4r in reproductive biology of medaka (Oryzias latipes), a close relative to Xiphophorus and a well-established model to study gonadal development. To understand the potential role of Mc4r in medaka, we characterized the major features of the Mc4r signaling system (mc4r, mrap2, pomc, agrp1). In medaka, all these genes are expressed before hatching. In adults, they are mainly expressed in the brain. The transcript of the receptor accessory protein mrap2 co-localizes with mc4r in the hypothalamus in adult brains indicating a conserved function of modulating Mc4r signaling. Comparing growth and puberty between wild-type and mc4r knockout medaka revealed that absence of Mc4r does not change puberty timing but significantly delays hatching. Embryonic development of knockout animals is retarded compared to wild-types. In conclusion, the Mc4r system in medaka is involved in regulation of growth rather than puberty.
BACKGROUND: In the face of growing resistance in malaria parasites to drugs, pharmacological combination therapies are important. There is accumulating evidence that methylene blue (MB) is an effective drug against malaria. Here we explore the biological effects of both MB alone and in combination therapy using modeling and experimental data.
RESULTS: We built a model of the central metabolic pathways in P. falciparum. Metabolic flux modes and their changes under MB were calculated by integrating experimental data (RT-PCR data on mRNAs for redox enzymes) as constraints and results from the YANA software package for metabolic pathway calculations. Several different lines of MB attack on Plasmodium redox defense were identified by analysis of the network effects. Next, chloroquine resistance based on pfmdr/and pfcrt transporters, as well as pyrimethamine/sulfadoxine resistance (by mutations in DHF/DHPS), were modeled in silico. Further modeling shows that MB has a favorable synergism on antimalarial network effects with these commonly used antimalarial drugs.
CONCLUSIONS: Theoretical and experimental results support that methylene blue should, because of its resistance-breaking potential, be further tested as a key component in drug combination therapy efforts in holoendemic areas.
Background
The metacestode larva of Echinococcus multilocularis (Cestoda: Taeniidae) develops in the liver of intermediate hosts (typically rodents, or accidentally in humans) as a labyrinth of interconnected cysts that infiltrate the host tissue, causing the disease alveolar echinococcosis. Within the cysts, protoscoleces (the infective stage for the definitive canid host) arise by asexual multiplication. These consist of a scolex similar to that of the adult, invaginated within a small posterior body. Despite the importance of alveolar echinococcosis for human health, relatively little is known about the basic biology, anatomy and development of E. multilocularis larvae, particularly with regard to their nervous system.
Results
We describe the existence of a subtegumental nerve net in the metacestode cysts, which is immunoreactive for acetylated tubulin-α and contains small populations of nerve cells that are labeled by antibodies raised against several invertebrate neuropeptides. However, no evidence was found for the existence of cholinergic or serotoninergic elements in the cyst wall. Muscle fibers occur without any specific arrangement in the subtegumental layer, and accumulate during the invaginations of the cyst wall that form brood capsules, where protoscoleces develop. The nervous system of the protoscolex develops independently of that of the metacestode cyst, with an antero-posterior developmental gradient. The combination of antibodies against several nervous system markers resulted in a detailed description of the protoscolex nervous system, which is remarkably complex and already similar to that of the adult worm.
Conclusions
We provide evidence for the first time of the existence of a nervous system in the metacestode cyst wall, which is remarkable given the lack of motility of this larval stage, and the lack of serotoninergic and cholinergic elements. We propose that it could function as a neuroendocrine system, derived from the nervous system present in the bladder tissue of other taeniids. The detailed description of the development and anatomy of the protoscolex neuromuscular system is a necessary first step toward the understanding of the developmental mechanisms operating in these peculiar larval stages.
Scorpions, living in North African semideserts are - in spite of disrupting experimental interferences - able to maintain a certain direction in their natural environment in the dark on a plane surface. Under comparable laboratory conditions, excluding the possibility of light or gravity orientation, they can orient themselves if a directed air current passes over the "arena." In most cases the scorpions do not run necessarily with or against the wind, but rather maintain constant angles to the air current for anywhere from minutes to many hours. They are running anemomenotactically (ref. 1). Under identical conditions many species of beetles also orient themselves to air currents (refs. 2 to 4). The main problems to be solved in the study of anemomenotactic orientation are: (1) Which physical qualities of the air current have an influence on the anemomenotaxis? (2) With which sense organs do beetles and scorpions perceive wind directions? (3) Which physiological mechanism is the basis of anemomenotactic orientation? (4) What is the biological significance of anemomenotaxis in beetles and scorpions? With respect to these problems, more study has been done on beetles than on scorpions. Therefore, due to lack of space, I shall discuss mainly some of the results obtained in experiments with dung beetles (Geotrupes silvaticus, G. ,Stercorarius, G. armifrons, G. niger, Scarabaeus variolosus) and tenebrionid beetles (Tenebrio molitor, Pimelia grossa, P. tenuicomis, Scaurus dubius).
1. Scorpions can orient menotactically to horizontal air currents (Fig. 1). 2. Changing the wind velocity from 0,05-0,1 m/sec to 3--5 m/sec has no influence on the menotactic angle kept by an anemomenotactic oriented scorpion (Fig. 2). 3. The receptors percieving the direction of air currents are the trichobothria. 4. Orientation to horizon landmarks, anemomenotactic and astromenotactic orientation does not exclude each other but complete themthelves mutually: a) A scorpion orienting to horizon landmarks learns the corresponding anemomenotactic and astromenotactic angle (Fig. 4). b) While orienting anemomenotactically (which is normally the main means of orientation when landmarks are absent) they continously learn new astromenotactical angles (Fig. 5), thus compensating for the movement of the moon or sun which can not be compensated otherwise. c) Short calms and short changes of wind direction can be overcome by astrotaxis.
1. Die Feistkäfer Pimelia grossa, P. tenuicornis, der Mehlkäfer Tenebrio molitor, die Mistkäfer Geotrupes silvaticus und G. stercorarius konnen sich unter entsprechenden Bedingungen rein anemomenotaktisch orientieren (Abb. 1-8). Sie bevorzugen Laufwinkel, die in relativ enge Winkelbereiche rechts und links der beiden Grundrichtungen führen (Abb. 3, 4, 26). 2. Die Bevorzugung bestimmter Winkelgrößen andert sich bei Geotrupes nicht gesetzmig mit der Tageszeit, der Temperatur (im Bereich 18-28° C) oder dem Fütterungszustand (Abb. 8-11). 3. Die untere Grenze der Windstärke, die eine menotaktische Einstellung ermöglicht, liegt für die Mistkäfer bei etwa 0,15 m/sec, für die Feistkäfer bei etwa 0,4 m/sec. Die obere Grenze befindet sich bei Geschwindigkeiten, die den Käfern ein Vorwärtskommen unmöglich machen. 4. Bei der menotaktischen Einstellung wird nur die Reizrichtung nicht aber die Reizstarke bewertet (Abb. 13-15). 5. Die Kontinuitat des Luftstroms ist keine Voraussetzung für die anemomenotaktische Orientierung: Die Käfer orientieren sich auch nach kurzen Windstößen (Abb. 17, 19, 21). Während der Windstille kommt es zu regelhaften Abweichungen von dem bei Wind eingehaltenen Kurs (Abb. 18). Das Ausmaß dieser Abweichungen wird nach häufigen Windunterbrechungen stark verringert (Abb. 20). 6. Gegen Turbulenzen des Luftstroms, wie sie über unebenem Untergrund entstehen, ist die Anemomenotaxis der Käfer nicht sehr anfällig (Abb. 22). 7. Die Sinnesorgane, die dem intakten Käfer die Windrichtungsbestimmung ermöglichen, sprechen auf Bewegungen im Pedicellus-Flagellumgelenk an. Ein Verlust der Endkolben hat beim Mistkäfer keinen Einfluß auf die Richtungs- und Winkelgrößenwahl, auch die Streuung wird nicht signifikant größer. 2 Flagellenglieder pro Antenne ermöglichen bei Windgeschwindigkeiten um oder über 1 m/sec noch eine anemomenotaktische Orientierung (Tabelle 3). 8. Bei 3 Mistkäfern, deren Fühler 4 Wochen bzw. 4 Monate vor dem Versuch entfernt worden waren, konnte wieder eine Orientierung nach der Windrichtung nachgewiesen werden (Abb. 23, Tabelle 1). 9. Die Kafer konnen Laufwinkel intramodal vierdeutig transponieren (z.B. Abb. 28, 29). Am deutlichsten tritt diese Fähigkeit bei Versuchsneulingen zutage, deren Laufe rein fluchtmotiviert sind: Sie wählen normalerweise denjenigen der 4 möglichen Laufwinkel, der der Aufsetzrichtung am nächsten liegt (vgl. Abb. 25, 26). 10. Die Existenz und die Wirkungsrichtung eines Drehkommandos, sowie die Beteiligung beider Grundorientierungen an der Anemomenotaxis werden nachgewiesen (Abb. 31). Die Fähigkeit, eine gleichbleibende Drehkommandogröße (die nie zu einer stärkeren Abweichung als 90° von einer Grundrichtung führen kann) mit verschiedenem Vorzeichen der Drehrichtung versehen zu konnen und die Möglichkeit zur Taxisumkehr (Abb. 32) erklären die orientierungsphysiologische Seite des vierdeutigen intramodalen Transponierens. 11. Versuchsergebnisse, die Aussagen uber den physiologischen Mechanismus der Anemomenotaxis der Käfer zulassen, sprechen für einen Kompensationsmechanismus. Die gegen die Kompensationstheorie der Menotaxis (JANDER, 1957) vorgebrachten Argumente werden im Rahmen der bisherigen Resultate kurz diskutiert. 12. Die möglichen biologischen Bedeutungen der Anemomenotaxis werden besprochen. Es wird angenommen, daß sie beim Appetenzverhalten des nach geruchlichen Schlüsselreizen "suchenden" Käfers ihre biologisch wichtigste Aufgabe erfüllt. Sie kann auch die basalen Aufgaben einer Raumorientierung übernehmen und so z.B. kompaßtreue Fluchtkurse steuern.
The occurrence of stacked annulate tamellae is documented for a plant cell system, namely for pollen mother cells and developing pollen grains of Canna generalis. Their structural subarchiteeture and relationship to endoplasmie reticulum (ER) and nuclear envelope cisternae is described in detail. The results demonstrate structural homology between plant and animal annulate lamellae and are compatible with, though do not prove, the view that annulate lamcllar cisternae may originate as a degenerative form of endoplasmic retieulum.
Desert ants of the genus Cataglyphis possess remarkable visual navigation capabilities. Although Cataglyphis species lack a trail pheromone system, Cataglyphis fortis employs olfactory cues for detecting nest and food sites. To investigate potential adaptations in primary olfactory centers of the brain of C. fortis, we analyzed olfactory glomeruli (odor processing units) in their antennal lobes and compared them to glomeruli in different Cataglyphis species. Using confocal imaging and 3D reconstruction, we analyzed the number, size and spatial arrangement of olfactory glomeruli in C. fortis, C.albicans, C.bicolor, C.rubra, and C.noda. Workers of all Cataglyphis species have smaller numbers of glomeruli (198–249) compared to those previously found in olfactory-guided ants. Analyses in 2 species of Formica – a genus closely related to Cataglyphis – revealed substantially higher numbers of olfactory glomeruli (c. 370), which is likely to reflect the importance of olfaction in these wood ant species. Comparisons between Cataglyphis species revealed 2 special features in C. fortis. First, with c. 198 C. fortis has the lowest number of glomeruli compared to all other species. Second, a conspicuously enlarged glomerulus is located close to the antennal nerve entrance. Males of C. fortis possess a significantly smaller number of glomeruli (c. 150) compared to female workers and queens. A prominent male-specific macroglomerulus likely to be involved in sex pheromone communication occupies a position different from that of the enlarged glomerulus in females. The behavioral significance of the enlarged glomerulus in female workers remains elusive. The fact that C. fortis inhabits microhabitats (salt pans) that are avoided by all other Cataglyphis species suggests that extreme ecological conditions may not only have resulted in adaptations of visual capabilities, but also in specializations of the olfactory system.
Anthropogenic and environmental drivers shape diversity of naturalized plants across the Pacific
(2021)
Aim
The Pacific exhibits an exceptional number of naturalized plant species, but the drivers of this high diversity and the associated compositional patterns remain largely unknown. Here, we aim to (a) improve our understanding of introduction and establishment processes and (b) evaluate whether this information is sufficient to create scientific conservation tools, such as watchlists.
Location
Islands in the Pacific Ocean, excluding larger islands such as New Zealand, Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia.
Methods
We combined information from the most up‐to‐date data sources to quantify naturalized plant species richness and turnover across island groups and investigate the effects of anthropogenic, biogeographic and climate drivers on these patterns. In total, we found 2,672 naturalized plant species across 481 islands and 50 island groups, with a total of 11,074 records.
Results
Most naturalized species were restricted to few island groups, and most island groups have a low number of naturalized species. Island groups with few naturalized species were characterized by a set of widespread naturalized species. Several plant families that contributed many naturalized species globally also did so in the Pacific, particularly Fabaceae and Poaceae. However, many families were significantly over‐ or under‐represented in the Pacific naturalized flora compared to other regions of the world. Naturalized species richness increased primarily with increased human activity and island altitude/area, whereas similarity between island groups in temperature along with richness differences was most important for beta diversity.
Main conclusions
The distribution and richness of naturalized species can be explained by a small set of drivers. The Pacific region contains many naturalized plant species also naturalized in other regions in the world, but our results highlight key differences such as a stronger role of anthropogenic drivers in shaping diversity patterns. Our results establish a basis for predicting and preventing future naturalizations in a threatened biodiversity hotspot.
Anti-CNTN1 IgG3 induces acute conduction block and motor deficits in a passive transfer rat model
(2019)
Background:
Autoantibodies against the paranodal protein contactin-1 have recently been described in patients with severe acute-onset autoimmune neuropathies and mainly belong to the IgG4 subclass that does not activate complement. IgG3 anti-contactin-1 autoantibodies are rare, but have been detected during the acute onset of disease in some cases. There is evidence that anti-contactin-1 prevents adhesive interaction, and chronic exposure to anti-contactin-1 IgG4 leads to structural changes at the nodes accompanied by neuropathic symptoms. However, the pathomechanism of acute onset of disease and the pathogenic role of IgG3 anti-contactin-1 is largely unknown.
Methods:
In the present study, we aimed to model acute autoantibody exposure by intraneural injection of IgG of patients with anti-contacin-1 autoantibodies to Lewis rats. Patient IgG obtained during acute onset of disease (IgG3 predominant) and IgG from the chronic phase of disease (IgG4 predominant) were studied in comparison.
Results:
Conduction blocks were measured in rats injected with the “acute” IgG more often than after injection of “chronic” IgG (83.3% versus 35%) and proved to be reversible within a week after injection. Impaired nerve conduction was accompanied by motor deficits in rats after injection of the “acute” IgG but only minor structural changes of the nodes. Paranodal complement deposition was detected after injection of the “acute IgG”. We did not detect any inflammatory infiltrates, arguing against an inflammatory cascade as cause of damage to the nerve. We also did not observe dispersion of paranodal proteins or sodium channels to the juxtaparanodes as seen in patients after chronic exposure to anti-contactin-1.
Conclusions:
Our data suggest that anti-contactin-1 IgG3 induces an acute conduction block that is most probably mediated by autoantibody binding and subsequent complement deposition and may account for acute onset of disease in these patients. This supports the notion of anti-contactin-1-associated neuropathy as a paranodopathy with the nodes of Ranvier as the site of pathogenesis.
Certain fatty acids and sphingoid bases found at mucosal surfaces are known to have antibacterial activity and are thought to play a more direct role in innate immunity against bacterial infections. Herein, we analysed the antibacterial activity of sphingolipids, including the sphingoid base sphingosine as well as short-chain C\(_{6}\) and long-chain C\(_{16}\)-ceramides and azido-functionalized ceramide analogs against pathogenic Neisseriae. Determination of the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) demonstrated that short-chain ceramides and a ω-azido-functionalized C\(_{6}\)-ceramide were active against Neisseria meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae, whereas they were inactive against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Kinetic assays showed that killing of N. meningitidis occurred within 2 h with ω–azido-C\(_{6}\)-ceramide at 1 X the MIC. Of note, at a bactericidal concentration, ω–azido-C\(_{6}\)-ceramide had no significant toxic effect on host cells. Moreover, lipid uptake and localization was studied by flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and revealed a rapid uptake by bacteria within 5 min. CLSM and super-resolution fluorescence imaging by direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy demonstrated homogeneous distribution of ceramide analogs in the bacterial membrane. Taken together, these data demonstrate the potent bactericidal activity of sphingosine and synthetic short-chain ceramide analogs against pathogenic Neisseriae.
The development of all honey bee castes proceeds through three different life stages all of which encounter microbial infections to a various extent. We have examined the immune strength of honey bees across all developmental stages with emphasis on the temporal expression of cellular and humoral immune responses upon artificial challenge with viable Escherichia coli bacteria. We employed a broad array of methods to investigate defence strategies of infected individuals: (a) fate of bacteria in the haemocoel; (b) nodule formation and (c) induction of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Newly emerged adult worker bees and drones were able to activate efficiently all examined immune reactions. The number of viable bacteria circulating in the haemocoel of infected bees declined rapidly by more than two orders of magnitude within the first 4–6 h post-injection (p.i.), coinciding with the occurrence of melanised nodules. Antimicrobial activity, on the other hand, became detectable only after the initial bacterial clearance. These two temporal patterns of defence reactions very likely represent the constitutive cellular and the induced humoral immune response. A unique feature of honey bees is that a fraction of worker bees survives the winter season in a cluster mostly engaged in thermoregulation. We show here that the overall immune strength of winter bees matches that of young summer bees although nodulation reactions are not initiated at all. As expected, high doses of injected viable E.coli bacteria caused no mortality in larvae or adults of each age. However, drone and worker pupae succumbed to challenge with E.coli even at low doses, accompanied by a premature darkening of the pupal body. In contrast to larvae and adults, we observed no fast clearance of viable bacteria and no induction of AMPs but a rapid proliferation of E.coli bacteria in the haemocoel of bee pupae ultimately leading to their death.
Das angeborene Immunsystem von Insekten besteht aus einer humoralen Komponente, einer zellulären Komponente und dem Prophenoloxidase-aktivierenden System. Fast alle Erkenntnisse über das angeborene Immunsystem stammen von Arbeiten mit Modellorganismen wie z.B. Drosophila oder Anopheles gambiae. Wie genau das Immunsystem der Honigbiene (Apis mellifera) funktioniert, ist jedoch noch relativ unbekannt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die unterschiedlichen Immunreaktionen aller drei Entwicklungsstadien der Honigbiene nach artifizieller Infektion mit Gram-negativen und Gram-positiven Bakterien (Escherichia coli und Micrococcus flavus) und dem Akuten Bienen Paralyse Virus (ABPV) untersucht und verglichen. Eine E. coli-Injektion zeigt bei Larven und adulten Arbeiterinnen nur wenig Auswirkung auf das äußere Erscheinungsbild und die Überlebensrate. In beiden Entwicklungsstadien wird die humorale Immunantwort stark induziert, erkennbar an der Expression der antimikrobiellen Peptide (AMPs) Hymenoptaecin, Defensin1 und Abaecin. Zusätzlich werden allein in Jungbienen nach bakterieller Infektion vier weitere immunspezifische Proteine exprimiert. Unter anderem eine Carboxylesterase (CE1) und das Immune-Responsive Protein 30 (IRp30). Die Expression von CE1 und IRp30 zeigt dabei den gleichen zeitlichen Verlauf wie die der AMPs. In Jungbienen kommt es zudem nach E. coli-Injektion zu einer raschen Abnahme an lebenden Bakterien in der Hämolymphe, was auf eine Aktivierung der zellulären Immunantwort schließen lässt. Ältere Bienen und Winterbienen zeigen eine stärkere Immunkompetenz als Jungbienen. Selbst nicht-infizierte Winterbienen exprimieren geringe Mengen der immunspezifischen Proteine IRp30 und CE1. Die Expression von IRp30 kann dabei durch Verwundung oder Injektion von E. coli noch gesteigert werden. Eine weitere Besonderheit ist die im Vergleich zu Jungbienen raschere Abnahme an lebenden Bakterien in der Hämolymphe bis hin zur vollständigen Eliminierung. Die Reaktion von Puppen auf eine bakterielle Infektion war völlig unerwartet. Nach Injektion von E. coli-Zellen kommt es innerhalb von 24 h p.i. zu einem tödlichen Kollaps, der sich in einer Graufärbung des gesamten Puppenkörpers äußert. Da keine Expression von AMPs nachzuweisen war, wird die humorale Immunantwort offensichtlich nicht induziert. Auch die zelluläre Immunantwort scheint nicht aktiviert zu werden, denn es konnte keine Abnahme an lebenden E. coli-Zellen beobachtet werden. Aufgrund dieser fehlenden Immunreaktionen vermehrt sich E. coli im Hämocoel infizierter Puppen und scheint damit deren Tod herbeizuführen. Nach viraler Infektion wurden in allen drei Entwicklungsstadien der Honigbiene gänzlich andere Reaktionen beobachtet als nach bakterieller Infektion. Bei dem verwendeten Akuten Bienen Paralyse Virus (ABPV) handelt es sich um ein Picorna-ähnliches Virus, dessen Vermehrung in der Hämolymphe über die massive Synthese der Capsidproteine verfolgt werden kann. Eine Injektion von sehr wenigen ABPV-Partikeln ins Hämocoel hat dramatische Auswirkungen auf Larven. Nach Virusinjektion kommt es innerhalb weniger Stunden zu einer raschen Virusvermehrung und schon 24 h p.i. zum Tod, häufig begleitet von einer Schwarzfärbung der gesamten Larve. Kurz vor dem Ableben kommt es neben dem Abbau hochmolekularer Speicherproteine zur Expression zahlreicher Proteine, die u.a. an der Translation oder dem Schutz vor oxidativem Stress beteiligt sind. Auf Jungbienen hat eine ABPV-Infektion keine so dramatischen Auswirkungen wie auf Larven. Sie zeigen lediglich Zeichen von Paralyse, zudem überleben sie länger bei höheren injizierten Partikelzahlen, die Virusvermehrung ist langsamer und es kommt zu keiner starken Veränderung des Hämolymph-Proteinmusters. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass es in ABPV-infizierten Larven oder adulten Bienen zu keiner erkennbaren Aktivierung des humoralen Immunsystems in Form von exprimierten AMPs kommt. Zudem scheint die humorale Immunantwort auch nicht unterdrückt zu werden, denn nach gleichzeitiger Injektion von E. coli und ABPV kommt es neben der Expression viraler Capsidproteine auch zur Expression von AMPs. Zusätzlich konnte in Jungbienen nach Infektion mit ABPV eine zelluläre Immunantwort in Form von Nodulation ausgeschlossen werden. Ältere Bienen scheinen nicht nur mit bakteriellen Infektionen, sondern auch mit einer ABPV-Infektion besser zurechtzukommen. Bei einer Menge an ABPV-Partikeln, die in Jungbienen spätestens 72 h p.i. zum Tod führt, ist in Winterbienen eine Virusvermehrung erst ab 96 h p.i. erkennbar und diese beeinträchtigt die Überlebensrate kaum. Puppen sind einer Virusinfektion genauso schutzlos ausgeliefert wie einer Bakterieninfektion. Es kommt zwar zu keiner starken Änderung des äußeren Erscheinungsbildes, jedoch bleiben Puppen in ihrer Entwicklung komplett stehen. Das Virus muss sich daher stark vermehren, allerdings nicht überwiegend - wie bei Larven und adulten Bienen - in der Hämolymphe.
Circadian clocks prepare the organism to cyclic environmental changes in light, temperature, or food availability. Here, we characterized the master clock in the brain of a strongly photoperiodic insect, the aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, immunohistochemically with antibodies against A. pisum Period (PER), Drosophila melanogaster Cryptochrome (CRY1), and crab Pigment-Dispersing Hormone (PDH). The latter antibody detects all so far known PDHs and PDFs (Pigment-Dispersing Factors), which play a dominant role in the circadian system of many arthropods. We found that, under long days, PER and CRY are expressed in a rhythmic manner in three regions of the brain: the dorsal and lateral protocerebrum and the lamina. No staining was detected with anti-PDH, suggesting that aphids lack PDF. All the CRY1-positive cells co-expressed PER and showed daily PER/CRY1 oscillations of high amplitude, while the PER oscillations of the CRY1-negative PER neurons were of considerable lower amplitude. The CRY1 oscillations were highly synchronous in all neurons, suggesting that aphid CRY1, similarly to Drosophila CRY1, is light sensitive and its oscillations are synchronized by light-dark cycles. Nevertheless, in contrast to Drosophila CRY1, aphid CRY1 was not degraded by light, but steadily increased during the day and decreased during the night. PER was always located in the nuclei of the clock neurons, while CRY was predominantly cytoplasmic and revealed the projections of the PER/CRY1-positive neurons. We traced the PER/CRY1-positive neurons through the aphid protocerebrum discovering striking similarities with the circadian clock of D. melanogaster: The CRY1 fibers innervate the dorsal and lateral protocerebrum and putatively connect the different PER-positive neurons with each other. They also run toward the pars intercerebralis, which controls hormone release via the neurohemal organ, the corpora cardiaca. In contrast to Drosophila, the CRY1-positive fibers additionally travel directly toward the corpora cardiaca and the close-by endocrine gland, corpora allata. This suggests a direct link between the circadian clock and the photoperiodic control of hormone release that can be studied in the future.
Antibodies directed against RNA polymerase II (B) from Drosophila melanogaster were obtained from rabbit sera and, as monoclonal immunoglobulins, from mouse hybridomas and shown to cross-react with the amphibian enzyme protein. Localization by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy revealed the association of this enzyme with chromatin of interphase nuclei of amphibian cells and its absence in nucleoli. Purified immunoglobulins were microinjected in to nuclei ofliving vitellogenic oocytes of Ple1lrodeles waltlii and X enopus laevis and their effects on transcriptional processes were monitored by biochemical and light and electron microscopic stud ies. RNA polymerase II antibodies from rabbit sera caused a rapid and almost complete release of nascent transcripts from the chromatin axis of the loops of lampbrush chromosomes, followed by collapse of the loops and their retraction on the main chromosome axis. Monoclonal murine antibodies to the Iarge RNA polymerase II subunits also inhibited transcription in chromosome Ioops but appeared to inhibit initiation rather than elongation events. Activities of class land III RNA polymerases were not significantly affected by injection of antibodies to polymerase II, indicating immunological differences between the three RNA polymerases. The potential value of the in vitro test system described , as a very sensitive assay for detecting proteins involved in transcription in living cells, is discussed. 1
Millionen Menschen weltweit leiden an den verschiedensten Autoimmunerkrankungen. Diese Krankheiten entstehen, wenn das Immunsystem gesundes körpereigenes Gewebe angreift und zerstört. An der Pathogenese sind sowohl Komponenten des angeborenen Immunsystems als auch Bestandteile des adaptiven Immunsystems, wie Lymphozyten und Antikörper, beteiligt. Da die Ursachen und molekularen Mechanismen der Pathogenese dieser Erkrankungen bis heute weitgehend unbekannt sind, wurden in dieser Arbeit autoaggressive Lymphozyten bei den humanen Autoimmunerkrankungen Polymyositis und Multiple Sklerose näher untersucht. Die Polymyositis ist eine chronisch entzündliche Erkrankung der Skelettmuskulatur. Die Muskelfasern werden dabei von zytotoxischen CD8+ gd-T-Lymphozyten infiltriert, attackiert und schließlich zerstört. In einem seltenen Fall der Polymyositis wurden die Muskelzellen hingegen in ähnlicher Weise von CD8- gd-T-Lymphozyten angegriffen. Die gd-T-Lymphozyten waren monoklonal expandiert und ihr Rezeptor, im Folgenden als M88 bezeichnet, wurde als Vg1.3+Vd2+ identifiziert. Frühere Untersuchungen der Antigenspezifität dieser Zellen zeigten, dass M88 mehrere funktionell und strukturell verschiedene Proteine aus unterschiedlichen Spezies erkennt. Die Bindung erfolgt spezifisch durch die Antigenerkennungsregionen beider Rezeptorketten von M88. In dieser Arbeit wurden verschiedene bakterielle und humane Proteine des Translationsapparates als Antigene von M88 identifiziert. Weitere ausführliche Untersuchungen eines paradigmatischen bakteriellen Antigens, dem Translationsinitiationsfaktor EcIF1, zeigten, dass M88 an Oberflächen-exponierte Konformationsepitope von Proteinen bindet. Interessanterweise erkennt M88 mehrere humane Aminoacyl-tRNA-Synthetasen, Antigene, die in anderen Formen der Myositis von Autoantikörpern angegriffen werden. Diese Beobachtung ergibt eine bemerkenswerte Verbindung zwischen T-Zell- und Antikörper-vermittelten B-Zell-Antworten bei der autoimmunen Myositis. Bei der Multiplen Sklerose ist das zentrale Nervensystem betroffen. Autoaggressive Lymphozyten greifen die Myelinschicht der Nervenzellen im Gehirn und Rückenmark an und zerstören sie. Im Liquor cerebrospinalis von Patienten lassen sich klonal expandierte und affinitätsgereifte B-Zellen sowie „oligoklonale Banden“ (OKB) Antikörper nachweisen. Obwohl diese Merkmale auf eine Antigen-induzierte Immunantwort hindeuten, sind die zugrundeliegenden Antigene und die Rolle der OKB bei der Pathogenese bis heute unbekannt. In dieser Arbeit wurde die Antigenspezifität von fünf IgG OKB-Antikörpern aus drei Patienten untersucht. Durch verschiedene proteinbiochemische Methoden konnten intrazelluläre Kandidatenantigene identifiziert werden. Interessanterweise sind darunter mehrere nukleäre Proteine, die an der Transkriptionsregulation oder der RNA-Prozessierung beteiligt sind. Reaktivitäten gegen intrazelluläre Antigene treten auch bei anderen Autoimmunerkrankungen, wie beispielsweise dem systemischen Lupus erythematodes, auf. Diese Ergebnisse könnten auf einen allgemeinen Mechanismus der Entstehung und Funktion von Autoantikörpern bei diesen humanen Autoimmunerkrankungen hindeuten.
The eukaryotic parasite Trypanosoma brucei has evolved sophisticated strategies to persist within its mammalian host. Trypanosomes evade the hosts' immune system by antigenic variation of their surface coat, consisting of variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs). Out of a repertoire of thousands of VSG genes, only one is expressed at any given time from one of the 15 telomeric expression sites (ES). The VSG is stochastically exchanged either by a transcriptional switch of the active ES (in situ switch) or by a recombinational exchange of the VSG within the active ES. However, for infections to persist, the parasite burden has to be limited. The slender (sl) bloodstream form secretes the stumpy induction factor (SIF), which accumulates with rising parasitemia. SIF induces the irreversible developmental transition from the proliferative sl to the cell cycle-arrested but fly-infective stumpy (st) stage once a concentration threshold is reached. Thus, antigenic variation and st development ensure persistent infections and transmissibility. A previous study in monomorphic cells indicated that the attenuation of the active ES could be relevant for the development of trypanosomes. The present thesis investigated this hypothesis using the inducible overexpression of an ectopic VSG in pleomorphic trypanosomes, which possess full developmental competence. These studies revealed a surprising phenotypic plasticity: while the endogenous VSG was always down-regulated upon induction, the ESactivity determined whether the VSG overexpressors arrested in growth or kept proliferating. Full ES-attenuation induced the differentiation of bona fide st parasites independent of the cell density and thus represents the sole natural SIF-independent differentiation trigger to date. A milder decrease of the ES-activity did not induce phenotypic changes, but appeared to prime the parasites for SIF-induced differentiation. These results demonstrate that antigenic variation and development are linked and indicated that the ES and the VSG are independently regulated. Therefore, I investigated in the second part of my thesis how ES-attenuation and VSG-silencing can be mediated. Integration of reporters with a functional or defective VSG 3'UTR into different genomic loci showed that the maintenance of the active state of the ES depends on a conserved motif within the VSG 3'UTR. In situ switching was only triggered when the telomere-proximal motif was partially deleted, suggesting that it serves as a DNA-binding motif for a telomere-associated protein. The VSG levels seem to be additionally regulated in trans based on the VSG 3'UTR independent of the genomic context, which was reinforced by the regulation of a constitutively expressed reporter with VSG 3' UTR upon ectopic VSG overexpression.
Background
Fermented wheat germ extract (FWGE) sold under the trade name Avemar exhibits anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo. Its mechanisms of action are divided into antiproliferative and antimetabolic effects. Its influcence on cancer cell metabolism needs further investigation. One objective of this study, therefore, was to further elucidate the antimetabolic action of FWGE. The anticancer compound 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DMBQ) is the major bioactive compound in FWGE and is probably responsible for its anticancer activity. The second objective of this study was to compare the antiproliferative properties in vitro of FWGE and the DMBQ compound.
Methods
The IC\(_{50}\) values of FWGE were determined for nine human cancer cell lines after 24 h of culture. The DMBQ compound was used at a concentration of 24 μmol/l, which is equal to the molar concentration of DMBQ in FWGE. Cell viability, cell cycle, cellular redox state, glucose consumption, lactic acid production, cellular ATP levels, and the NADH/NAD\(^+\) ratio were measured.
Results
The mean IC\(_{50}\) value of FWGE for the nine human cancer cell lines tested was 10 mg/ml. Both FWGE (10 mg/ml) and the DMBQ compound (24 μmol/l) induced massive cell damage within 24 h after starting treatment, with changes in the cellular redox state secondary to formation of intracellular reactive oxygen species. Unlike the DMBQ compound, which was only cytotoxic, FWGE exhibited cytostatic and growth delay effects in addition to cytotoxicity. Both cytostatic and growth delay effects were linked to impaired glucose utilization which influenced the cell cycle, cellular ATP levels, and the NADH/NAD\(^+\) ratio. The growth delay effect in response to FWGE treatment led to induction of autophagy.
Conclusions
FWGE and the DMBQ compound both induced oxidative stress-promoted cytotoxicity. In addition, FWGE exhibited cytostatic and growth delay effects associated with impaired glucose utilization which led to autophagy, a possible previously unknown mechanism behind the influence of FWGE on cancer cell metabolism.
Summary Timber harvesting is currently the most common commercial utilisation activity in tropical forests. Assessing the effects of logging on different aspects of biodiversity and general ecosystem properties is hence of prime importance if the few remaining areas of intact tropical forest are to be protected effectively and efficiently. Tropical amphibian communities are an appropriate model system for studies on the impacts of human-induced environmental changes on the dynamics of complex biological systems. This thesis elaborates on patterns of diversity changes in tropical forest amphibian communities facing habitat alterations associated with selective logging in two globally important eco-regions (Côte d’Ivoire, Upper Guinea, West Africa and Guyana, the Guiana Shield, northern South America). The thesis is organised along two main themes. After a general introduction, a section on general methodology and an introduction to the model systems studied, the first theme moves from general patterns to underlying processes. A second theme running through both chapters carries from undisturbed systems to disturbed systems. A final section integrates findings and addresses implications for conservation management of anthropogenically altered tropical forests. Several case studies at the species- population and community level are being presented and data on the direct and indirect impacts of anthropogenic habitat alteration on respective organizational levels are provided. A key statement that is stressed on throughout the studies is the fact that common measures of diversity, such as species richness and species-diversity only inadequately reflect processes of diversity change following anthropogenic disturbance. They also fail to describe actual impacts on the dynamics of complex biological systems. It is argued that commonly used measures produce an incoherent and insufficient picture of diversity patterns and the underlying processes that shape these patterns. Thus, an understanding of higher levels of diversity, such as β-diversity and functional diversity (and hence compositional patterns) appears to be the key to effectively mitigating the impacts of human-induced disturbance on amphibian communities. It is shown that the predictability of amphibian community composition depends on the respective level of anthropogenic disturbance imposed on a particular habitat. Hence, human activities that lead to changes in the structure of a forest, such as logging, not only alter simple system descriptors, such as the number of species in a given community, but rather alter the dynamics of the entire system. In this context, functional diversity is shown to be an important aspect underlying the actual mechanism that leads to the observed change of predictability patterns. Functional differences between species, rather than number of species per se appear to be the decisive factor in sustaining desirable ecosystem states and thus in maintaining important ecosystem services. Because biological diversity appears to play a substantial role in ecosystem resilience required to safeguard essential ecosystem functions in the face of environmental change, the thesis calls for a critical revision of common diversity assessments approaches. The studies advocate the reconsideration of the uncritical use of widespread measures and descriptors of biodiversity on grounds of inconsistent patterns found throughout numerous studies, including those presented herein.
Predation on pest organisms is an essential ecosystem function supporting yields in modern agriculture. However, assessing predation rates is intricate, and they can rarely be linked directly to predator densities or functions. We tested whether sentinel prey aphid cards are useful tools to assess predation rates in the field. Therefore, we looked at aphid cards of different sizes on the ground level as well as within the vegetation. Additionally, by trapping ground‐dwelling predators, we examined whether obtained predation rates could be linked to predator densities and traits. Predation rates recorded with aphid cards were independent of aphid card size. However, predation rates on the ground level were three times higher than within the vegetation. We found both predatory carabid activity densities as well as community weighted mean body size to be good predictors for predation rates. Predation rates obtained from aphid cards are stable over card type and related to predator assemblages. Aphid cards, therefore, are a useful, efficient method for rapidly assessing the ecosystem function predation. Their use might especially be recommended for assessments on the ground level and when time and resource limitations rule out more elaborate sentinel prey methods using exclosures with living prey animals.
Neoplasms of the skin represent the most frequent tumors worldwide; fortunately, most of them are benign or semi-malignant and well treatable. However, the two most aggressive and deadly forms of malignant skin-neoplasms are melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), being responsible for more than 90% of skin-cancer related deaths. The last decade has yielded enormous progress in melanoma therapy with the advent of targeted therapies, like BRAF or MEK inhibitors, and immune-stimulating therapies, using checkpoint antibodies targeting CTLA- 4, PD-1 or PD-L1. Very recent studies suggest that also MCC patients benefit from a treatment with checkpoint antibodies. Nevertheless, in an advanced metastatic stage, a cure for both of these aggressive malignancies is still hard to achieve: while only a subset of patients experience durable benefit from the immune-based therapies, the widely applicable targeted therapies struggle with development of resistances that inevitably occur in most patients, and finally lead to their death. The four articles included in this thesis addressed current questions concerning therapy and carcinogenesis of melanoma and MCC. Moreover, they are discussed in the light of the up-to-date research regarding targeted and immune-based therapies. In article I we demonstrated that besides apoptosis, MAPK pathway inhibition in BRAF-mutated melanoma cells also induces senescence, a permanent cell cycle arrest. These cells may provide a source for relapse, as even permanently arrested cancer cells can contribute to a pro-tumorigenic milieu. To identify molecular factors determining the differential response, we established M14 melanoma cell line derived single cell clones that either undergo cell death or arrest when treated with BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Using these single cell clones, we demonstrated in article IV that downregulation of the pro-apoptotic BH3-only protein BIK via epigenetic silencing is involved in apoptosis deficiency, which can be overcome by HDAC inhibitors. These observations provide a possible explanation for the lack of a complete and durable response to MAPK inhibitor treatment in melanoma patients, and suggest the application of HDAC inhibitors as a complimentary therapy to MAPK pathway inhibition. Concerning MCC, we scrutinized the interactions between the Merkel cell polyomavirus’ (MCV) T antigens (TA) and the tumor suppressors p53 and Rb in article II and III, respectively. In article III, we demonstrated that the cell cycle master regulator Rb is the crucial target of MCV large T (LT), while it - in contrast to other polyomavirus LTs - exhibits much lower affinity to the related proteins p107 and p130. Knockdown of MCV LT led to proliferation arrest in MCC cells, which can be rescued by knockdown of Rb, but not by knockdown of p107 and p130. Contrary to Rb, restriction of p53 in MCC seems to be independent of the MCV TAs, as we demonstrated in article II. In conclusion, the presented thesis has revealed new molecular details, regarding the response of melanoma cells towards an important treatment modality and the mechanisms of viral carcinogenesis in MCC.
In the work here presented four distinctly different problems were investigated. The first problem was an investigation into the degradation of Dichloroethylene (DCE) and 1,1-bis (p-Chlorophenyl)-2-dichloroethylene (DDE) utilising pure bacterial cultures. The second investigation dealt with the degradation of DDE and polychlorinated Biphenyl’s (PCB’s) utilising anaerobic sediments and soils from New Zealand. The third investigation worked on the Granulation of anaerobic River-sediments in Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Reactors. The last investigation describes the commissioning of an industrial aerobic Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Implementation of biological Nitrogen- and Phosphate removal in this Wastewater Treatment Plant. Since the chemical Structure of DCE and DDE have certain similarities, Bacteria that were capable of degrading DCE, were tested here, whether they would also be able to degrade DDE utilising a co-metabolic pathway. In the experiments the aerobic bacteria Methylosinus trichosporium and Mycobacterium vaccae and the anaerobic bacteria Acetobacterium woodii and Clostridium butyricum were used. Approximately 60% of the added DCE was degraded by M. vaccae, while M. trichosporium degraded approximately 50%. A. woodii and C. butyricum degraded 40% and 30% respectively of the added DCE. Further experiments with these cultures and DDE lead to a microbial degradation of DDE to an extent of 34.6% for M. vaccae, 14.1% for C. butyricum, 2.2% for A. woodii and 10.5% for M. trichosporium. Additional experiments, utilising [14C]-DDE, showed that the DDE had not been degraded but were attached to the bacterial cells. The second investigation utilised anaerobic soils and sediments from New Zealand to study the anaerobic co-metabolic degradation of DDE and PCB’s. The soils and sediments originated from the River Waikato, from Wastewater Ponds in Kinleith, Marine-Sediments from Mapua, and a variety of soils comtaminated with Pentachlorophenyl (PCP). The cultures from these soils and sediments were raised on a variety of Carbon- and Energy-sources. Beside DDE, Aroclor 1260, and a mix of four pure PCB-Congeneres (one Tetra-, one Hexa, one Hepta- and one Deca-Chlorobiphenyl) were used to test for the reductive dechlorination. The cultivation process of the baceria lasted six months. Samples of the cultures were taken after zero, three and six months. These samples were tested for the increase of cell-protein, the degradation of carbon- and energy-sources, and the removal of the added polychlorinated chemicals. The organochlorines were analysed using reversed phase HPLC and FID-GC. When a change in the Chromatogram was detected the respective cultures were further analysed using ECD-GC and GC-MS. The results showed that the culutres grew under these conditions, but no degradation of DDE and the PCB-Mix could be detected, and only small changes in the composition/chromatograms of Aroclor 1260 were found. The third investigation worked on the Granulation of River-Sediments in UASB-Reactors. Sediments from the River Waikato in New Zealand and the River Saale in Germany were used. In both cases the Granulation process was successful, which was demonstrated by microscopic comparisons of the Sediments and the resulting Granules. The two main bacterial cultures detected were Methanosarcina- and Methanothrix-like cultures. The main carbon- and energy-source was Lactic Acid, which was used at a concentration of 21,8 g COD/L. The Granulation-Process was a combination of using high a COD-Concentration combined with a low Volumetric Loading-Rate. Comparisons of the specific degradation-rates of a variety of carbon- and energy-sources between the Sediments and the Granules, showed no increased degradation rates in regard to the same cell-mass, but the increased bio-mass in the Granules allowed for higher degradation-rates within the UASB-reactors. The fourth investigation describes the commissioning of an industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant for a Dairy-Site in Edendale, Southland, New Zealand. This Plant consists of a DAF-Unit (Dissolved Air Flotation), two Extended Aeration Lagoons with Activated Sludge and two Clarifiers, one for the Activated Sludge and the second for the dosing of Aluminium-Sulphate and the removal of Phosphat-Sulphate. Biological processes for the removal of carbon- and energy-sources were optimised and biological processes for the reduction of Nitrogen- and Phosphate-Concentrations within the wastewater were implemented and optimised. Bilogical removal rates for COD of 95% and above, for Nitrogen of 85-92% and Phosphate of 64-83% were achieved.
Applying microarray‐based techniques to study gene expression patterns: a bio‐computational approach
(2010)
The regulation and maintenance of iron homeostasis is critical to human health. As a constituent of hemoglobin, iron is essential for oxygen transport and significant iron deficiency leads to anemia. Eukaryotic cells require iron for survival and proliferation. Iron is part of hemoproteins, iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins, and other proteins with functional groups that require iron as a cofactor. At the cellular level, iron uptake, utilization, storage, and export are regulated at different molecular levels (transcriptional, mRNA stability, translational, and posttranslational). Iron regulatory proteins (IRPs) 1 and 2 post-transcriptionally control mammalian iron homeostasis by binding to iron-responsive elements (IREs), conserved RNA stem-loop structures located in the 5’- or 3‘- untranslated regions of genes involved in iron metabolism (e.g. FTH1, FTL, and TFRC). To identify novel IRE-containing mRNAs, we integrated biochemical, biocomputational, and microarray-based experimental approaches. Gene expression studies greatly contribute to our understanding of complex relationships in gene regulatory networks. However, the complexity of array design, production and manipulations are limiting factors, affecting data quality. The use of customized DNA microarrays improves overall data quality in many situations, however, only if for these specifically designed microarrays analysis tools are available. Methods In this project response to the iron treatment was examined under different conditions using bioinformatical methods. This would improve our understanding of an iron regulatory network. For these purposes we used microarray gene expression data. To identify novel IRE-containing mRNAs biochemical, biocomputational, and microarray-based experimental approaches were integrated. IRP/IRE messenger ribonucleoproteins were immunoselected and their mRNA composition was analysed using an IronChip microarray enriched for genes predicted computationally to contain IRE-like motifs. Analysis of IronChip microarray data requires specialized tool which can use all advantages of a customized microarray platform. Novel decision-tree based algorithm was implemented using Perl in IronChip Evaluation Package (ICEP). Results IRE-like motifs were identified from genomic nucleic acid databases by an algorithm combining primary nucleic acid sequence and RNA structural criteria. Depending on the choice of constraining criteria, such computational screens tend to generate a large number of false positives. To refine the search and reduce the number of false positive hits, additional constraints were introduced. The refined screen yielded 15 IRE-like motifs. A second approach made use of a reported list of 230 IRE-like sequences obtained from screening UTR databases. We selected 6 out of these 230 entries based on the ability of the lower IRE stem to form at least 6 out of 7 bp. Corresponding ESTs were spotted onto the human or mouse versions of the IronChip and the results were analysed using ICEP. Our data show that the immunoselection/microarray strategy is a feasible approach for screening bioinformatically predicted IRE genes and the detection of novel IRE-containing mRNAs. In addition, we identified a novel IRE-containing gene CDC14A (Sanchez M, et al. 2006). The IronChip Evaluation Package (ICEP) is a collection of Perl utilities and an easy to use data evaluation pipeline for the analysis of microarray data with a focus on data quality of custom-designed microarrays. The package has been developed for the statistical and bioinformatical analysis of the custom cDNA microarray IronChip, but can be easily adapted for other cDNA or oligonucleotide-based designed microarray platforms. ICEP uses decision tree-based algorithms to assign quality flags and performs robust analysis based on chip design properties regarding multiple repetitions, ratio cut-off, background and negative controls (Vainshtein Y, et al., 2010).
Natural genetic variation makes it possible to discover evolutionary changes that have been maintained in a population because they are advantageous. To understand genotype–phenotype relationships and to investigate trait architecture, the existence of both high-resolution genotypic and phenotypic data is necessary. Arabidopsis thaliana is a prime model for these purposes. This herb naturally occurs across much of the Eurasian continent and North America. Thus, it is exposed to a wide range of environmental factors and has been subject to natural selection under distinct conditions. Full genome sequencing data for more than 1000 different natural inbred lines are available, and this has encouraged the distributed generation of many types of phenotypic data. To leverage these data for meta analyses, AraPheno (https://arapheno.1001genomes.org) provide a central repository of population-scale phenotypes for A. thaliana inbred lines. AraPheno includes various features to easily access, download and visualize the phenotypic data. This will facilitate a comparative analysis of the many different types of phenotypic data, which is the base to further enhance our understanding of the genotype–phenotype map.
Die Meiose ist eine besondere Art der Zellteilung, die während der Keimzellreifung stattfindet. Sie umfasst zwei aufeinander folgende Zellteilungen mit nur einer DNA-Repli-kationsrunde, wodurch aus einer diploiden Ausgangszelle vier haploide Gameten entstehen. In der ersten meiotischen Teilung werden die homologen Chromosomen miteinander rekombiniert und voneinander getrennt, in der Meiose II findet die Trennung der Schwesterchromatiden statt. Für den korrekten Ablauf dieser Prozesse musste sich eine spezielle molekulare Architektur des meiotischen Chromosoms entwickeln welche die Synapse der homologen Chromosomen durch den Synaptonemalkomplex (SC) beinhaltet. SCs sind evolutionär hochkonservierte, meiosespezifische Proteinkomplexe, die eine zentrale Bedeutung für Synapse, Rekombination und Segregation der homologen Chromosomen haben. Ein SC besteht aus zwei lateralen Elementen (LEs), die den Achsen der homologen Chromosomen aufgelagert sind, einer zentralen Region (CR) und einem zentralen Element (CE). Eine Hauptstrukturkomponente der LEs in Vertebraten ist das Synaptonemalkomplexprotein, SYCP3. Um die molekulare Architektur des SC besser zu verstehen und die Bedeutung von SYCP3 für die Zusammenlagerung der LE aufzudecken, wurden die Polymerisationseigenschaften von SYCP3, exprimiert in somatischen Zellen, erforscht. In diesem experimentellen Ansatz polymerisierte SYCP3 autonom zu stabilen, höher geordneten, filamentösen Strukturen. Die „Coiled-Coil“-Domäne und die flankierenden, evolutionär konservierten Motive sind dabei notwenig, und nach Deletion des weniger konservierten N-terminalen Bereichs auch ausreichend für die Bildung der höher geordneten Strukturen. Der N-Terminus hingegen spielt eine Rolle in der Stabilität der Polymärstrukturen, welche durch Phosphorylierung zweier Serinreste im N-terminalen Bereich beeinflusst werden könnte. Obwohl die Struktur des SC in der Evolution hochkonserviert ist, sind die Protein-komponenten auf Aminosäuresequenzebene sehr unterschiedlich und weisen wenn überhaupt eine strukturelle Homologie in ihrer Domänenorganisation auf. Um den SC-Aufbau und dessen Funktion besser verstehen zu können, wurden die orthologen SC-Proteine zwischen taxonomisch entfernten Spezies Ratte und Medaka verglichen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass trotz der Unterschiede in den Aminosäuresequenzen die sich in den letzen 450 Millionen Jahren zwischen Fisch- und Säugern-SYCP3 akkumuliert haben, die Eigenschaften der Proteine vergleichbar sind, und das sie unter experimentellen Bedingungen miteinander interagieren und zu höher geordneten Strukturen kopolymerisieren können.
Bees rely on floral pollen and nectar for food. Therefore, pollinator friendly plantings are often used to enrich habitats in bee conservation efforts. As part of these plantings, non‐native plants may provide valuable floral resources, but their effects on native bee communities have not been assessed in direct comparison with native pollinator friendly plantings. In this study, we performed a common garden experiment by seeding mixes of 20 native and 20 non‐native pollinator friendly plant species at separate neighboring plots at three sites in Maryland, USA, and recorded flower visitors for 2 years. A total of 3,744 bees (120 species) were collected. Bee abundance and species richness were either similar across plant types (midseason and for abundance also late season) or lower at native than at non‐native plots (early season and for richness also late season). The overall bee community composition differed significantly between native and non‐native plots, with 11 and 23 bee species being found exclusively at one plot type or the other, respectively. Additionally, some species were more abundant at native plant plots, while others were more abundant at non‐natives. Native plants hosted more specialized plant–bee visitation networks than non‐native plants. Three species out of the five most abundant bee species were more specialized when foraging on native plants than on non‐native plants. Overall, visitation networks were more specialized in the early season than in late seasons. Our findings suggest that non‐native plants can benefit native pollinators, but may alter foraging patterns, bee community assemblage, and bee–plant network structures.
Arboreal spiders in deciduous and coniferous trees were investigated on their distribution and diversity. Insecticidal knock-down was used to comprehensively sample spiders from 175 trees from 2001 to 2003 in the Białowieża forest and three remote forests in Poland. We identified 140 species from 9273 adult spiders. Spider communities were distinguished between deciduous and coniferous trees. The richest fauna was collected from Quercus where beta diversity was also highest. A tree-species-specific pattern was clearly observed for Alnus, Carpinus, Picea and Pinus trees and also for those tree species that were fogged in only four or three replicates, namely Betula and Populus. This hitherto unrecognised association was mainly due to the community composition of common species identified in a Dufrene-Legendre indicator species analysis. It was not caused by spatial or temporal autocorrelation. Explaining tree-species specificity for generalist predators like spiders is difficult and has to involve physical and ecological tree parameters like linkage with the abundance of prey species. However, neither did we find a consistent correlation of prey group abundances with spiders nor could differences in spider guild composition explain the observed pattern. Our results hint towards the importance of deterministic mechanisms structuring communities of generalist canopy spiders although the casual relationship is not yet understood.
Cristae architecture is important for the function of mitochondria, the organelles that play the central role in many cellular processes. The mitochondrial contact site and cristae organizing system (MICOS) together with the sorting and assembly machinery (SAM) forms the mitochondrial intermembrane space bridging complex (MIB), a large protein complex present in mammalian mitochondria that partakes in the formation and maintenance of cristae. We report here a new subunit of the mammalian MICOS/MIB complex, an armadillo repeat-containing protein 1 (ArmC1). ArmC1 localizes both to cytosol and mitochondria, where it associates with the outer mitochondrial membrane through its carboxy-terminus. ArmC1 interacts with other constituents of the MICOS/MIB complex and its amounts are reduced upon MICOS/MIB complex depletion. Mitochondria lacking ArmC1 do not show defects in cristae structure, respiration or protein content, but appear fragmented and with reduced motility. ArmC1 represents therefore a peripheral MICOS/MIB component that appears to play a role in mitochondrial distribution in the cell.
Arthropod dark taxa provide new insights into diversity responses to bark beetle infestations
(2022)
Natural disturbances are increasing around the globe, also impacting protected areas. Although previous studies have indicated that natural disturbances result in mainly positive effects on biodiversity, these analyses mostly focused on a few well established taxonomic groups, and thus uncertainty remains regarding the comprehensive impact of natural disturbances on biodiversity. Using Malaise traps and meta‐barcoding, we studied a broad range of arthropod taxa, including dark and cryptic taxa, along a gradient of bark beetle disturbance severities in five European national parks. We identified order‐level community thresholds of disturbance severity and classified barcode index numbers (BINs; a cluster system for DNA sequences, where each cluster corresponds to a species) as negative or positive disturbance indicators. Negative indicator BINs decreased above thresholds of low to medium disturbance severity (20%–30% of trees killed), whereas positive indicator BINs benefited from high disturbance severity (76%–98%). BINs allocated to a species name contained nearly as many positive as negative disturbance indicators, but dark and cryptic taxa, particularly Diptera and Hymenoptera in our data, contained higher numbers of negative disturbance indicator BINs. Analyses of changes in the richness of BINs showed variable responses of arthropods to disturbance severity at lower taxonomic levels, whereas no significant signal was detected at the order level due to the compensatory responses of the underlying taxa. We conclude that the analyses of dark taxa can offer new insights into biodiversity responses to disturbances. Our results suggest considerable potential for forest management to foster arthropod diversity, for example by maintaining both closed‐canopy forests (>70% cover) and open forests (<30% cover) on the landscape.
Quantifying the spatio-temporal distribution of arthropods in tropical rainforests represents a first step towards scrutinizing the global distribution of biodiversity on Earth. To date most studies have focused on narrow taxonomic groups or lack a design that allows partitioning of the components of diversity. Here, we consider an exceptionally large dataset (113,952 individuals representing 5,858 species), obtained from the San Lorenzo forest in Panama, where the phylogenetic breadth of arthropod taxa was surveyed using 14 protocols targeting the soil, litter, understory, lower and upper canopy habitats, replicated across seasons in 2003 and 2004. This dataset is used to explore the relative influence of horizontal, vertical and seasonal drivers of arthropod distribution in this forest. We considered arthropod abundance, observed and estimated species richness, additive decomposition of species richness, multiplicative partitioning of species diversity, variation in species composition, species turnover and guild structure as components of diversity. At the scale of our study (2km of distance, 40m in height and 400 days), the effects related to the vertical and seasonal dimensions were most important. Most adult arthropods were collected from the soil/litter or the upper canopy and species richness was highest in the canopy. We compared the distribution of arthropods and trees within our study system. Effects related to the seasonal dimension were stronger for arthropods than for trees. We conclude that: (1) models of beta diversity developed for tropical trees are unlikely to be applicable to tropical arthropods; (2) it is imperative that estimates of global biodiversity derived from mass collecting of arthropods in tropical rainforests embrace the strong vertical and seasonal partitioning observed here; and (3) given the high species turnover observed between seasons, global climate change may have severe consequences for rainforest arthropods.
Division of labor represents a major advantage of social insect communities that accounts for their enormous ecological success. In colonies of the honeybee, Apis mellifera, division of labor comprises different tasks of fertile queens and drones (males) and, in general, sterile female workers. Division of labor also occurs among workers in form of an age-related polyethism. This helps them to deal with the great variety of tasks within the colony. After adult eclosion, workers spend around three weeks with various duties inside the hive such as tending the brood or cleaning and building cells. After this period workers switch to outdoor tasks and become foragers collecting nectar, pollen and water. With this behavioral transition, workers face tremendous changes in their sensory environment. In particular, visual sensory stimuli become important, but also the olfactory world changes. Foragers have to perform a completely new behavioral repertoire ranging from long distance navigation based on landmark orientation and polarized-skylight information to learning and memory tasks associated with finding profitable food sources. However, behavioral maturation is not a purely age-related internal program associated with a change, for example, in juvenile hormone titers. External factors such as primer pheromones like the brood pheromone or queen mandibular pheromone can modulate the timing of this transition. In this way colonies are able to flexibly adjust their work force distribution between indoor and outdoor tasks depending on the actual needs of the colony. Besides certain physiological changes, mainly affecting glandular tissue, the transition from indoor to outdoor tasks requires significant adaptations in sensory and higher-order integration centers of the brain.
The mushroom bodies integrate olfactory, visual, gustatory and mechanosensory information. Furthermore, they play important roles in learning and memory processes. It is therefore not surprising that the mushroom bodies, in particular their main input region, the calyx, undergo volumetric neuronal plasticity. Similar to behavioral maturation, plastic changes of the mushroom bodies are associated with age, but are also to be affected by modulating factors such as task and experience.
In my thesis, I analyzed in detail the neuronal processes underlying volumetric plasticity in the mushroom body. Immunohistochemical labeling of synaptic proteins combined with quantitative 3D confocal imaging revealed that the volume increase of the mushroom body calyx is largely caused by the growth of the Kenyon cell dendritic network. This outgrowth is accompanied by changes in the synaptic architecture of the mushroom body calyx, which is organized in a distinct pattern of synaptic complexes, so called microglomeruli. During the first week of natural adult maturation microglomeruli remain constant in total number. With subsequent behavioral transition from indoor duties to foraging, microglomeruli are pruned while the Kenyon cell dendritic network is still growing. As a result of these processes, the mushroom body calyx neuropil volume enlarges while the total number of microgloumeruli becomes reduced in foragers compared to indoor workers. In the visual subcompartments (calyx collar) this process is induced by visual sensory stimuli as the beginning of pruning correlates with the time window when workers start their first orientation flights. The high level of analysis of cellular and subcellular process underlying structural plasticity of the mushroom body calyx during natural maturation will serve as a framework for future investigations of behavioral plasticity in the honeybee.
The transition to foraging is not purely age-dependent, but gets modulated, for example, by the presence of foragers. Ethyl oleate, a primer pheromone that is present only in foragers, was shown to delay the onset of foraging in nurse bees. Using artificial application of additional ethyl oleate in triple cohort colonies, I tested whether it directly affects adult neuronal plasticity in the visual input region of the mushroom body calyx. As the pheromonal treatment failed to induce a clear behavioral phenotype (delayed onset of foraging) it was not possible to show a direct link between the exposure to additional ethyl oleate and neuronal plasticity in mushroom body calyx. However, the general results on synaptic maturation confirmed my data of natural maturation processes in the mushroom body calyx.
Given the result that dendritic plasticity is a major contributor to neuronal plasticity in the mushroom body calyx associated with division of labor, the question arose which proteins could be involved in mediating these effects. Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) especially in mammals, but also in insects (Drosophila, Cockroach), was shown to be involved in facilitating learning and memory processes like long-term synaptic potentiation. In addition to presynaptic effects, the protein was also revealed to directly interact with cytoskeleton elements in the postsynapse. It therefore is a likely candidate to mediate structural synaptic plasticity. As part of my thesis, the presence and distribution of CaMKII was analyzed, and the results showed that the protein is highly concentrated in a distinct subpopulation of the mushroom body intrinsic neurons, the noncompact Kenyon cells. The dendritic network of this population arborizes in two calyx subregions: one receiving mainly olfactory input – the lip – and the collar receiving visual input. This distribution pattern did not change with age or task. The high concentration of CaMKII in dendritic spines and its overlap with f-actin indicates that CaMKII could be a key player inducing structural neuronal plasticity associated with learning and memory formation and/or behavioral transitions related to division of labor. Interestingly CaMKII immunoreactivity was absent in the basal ring, another subregion of the mushroom body calyx formed almost exclusively by the inner compact Kenyon cells and known to receive combined visual and olfactory input. This indicates differences of this mushroom body subregion regarding the molecular mechanisms controlling plastic changes in corresponding Kenyon cells.
How is timing of behavioral and neuronal plasticity regulated? The primer pheromone ethyl oleate was found in high concentrations on foragers and was shown to influence behavioral maturation by delaying the onset of foraging when artificially applied in elevated concentrations. But how is ethyl oleate transferred and how does it shift the work force distribution between indoor and outdoor tasks? Previous work showed that ethyl oleate concentrations are highest in the honeycrop of foragers and suggested that it is transferred and communicated inside the colony via trophallaxis. The results of this thesis however clearly show, that ethyl oleate was not present inside the honey crop or the regurgitate, but rather in the surrounding tissue of the honey crop. As additionally the second highest concentration of ethyl oleate was measured on the surface of the cuticle of forgers, trophallaxis was ruled out as a mode of transmission. Neurophysiological measurements at the level of the antennae (electroantennogram recordings) and the first olfactory neuropil (calcium imaging of activity in the antennal lobe) revealed that the primer pheromone ethyl oleate is received and processed as an olfactory stimulus. Appetitive olfactory conditioning using the proboscis extension response as a behavioral paradigm showed that ethyl oleate can be associated with a sugar reward. This indicates that workers are able to perceive, learn and memorize the presence of this pheromone. As ethyl oleate had to be presented by a heated stimulation device at close range, it can be concluded that this primer pheromone acts via close range/contact chemoreception through the olfactory system. This is also supported by previous behavioral observations.
Taken together, the findings presented in this thesis revealed structural changes in the synaptic architecture of the mushroom body calyx associated with division of labor. For the primer pheromone ethyl oleate, which modulates the transition from nursing to foraging, the results clearly showed that it is received via the olfactory system and presumably acts via this pathway. However, manipulation experiments did not indicate a direct effect of ethyl oleate on synaptic plasticity. At the molecular level, CaMKII is a prime candidate to mediate structural synaptic plasticity in the mushroom body calyx. Future combined structural and functional experiments are needed to finally link the activity of primer pheromones like ethyl oleate to the molecular pathways mediating behavioral and synaptic plasticity associated with division of labor in Apis mellifera. The here identified underlying processes will serve as excellent models for a general understanding of fundamental mechanisms promoting behavioral plasticity.
Past experience contributes to behavioural organization mainly via learning: Animals learn otherwise ordinary cues as predictors for biologically significant events. This thesis studies such predictive, associative learning, using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. I ask two main questions, which complement each other: One deals with the processing of those cues that are to be learned as predictors for an important event; the other one deals with the processing of the important event itself, which is to be predicted. Do fruit flies learn about combinations of olfactory and visual cues? I probe larval as well as adult fruit flies for the learning about combinations of olfactory and visual cues, using a so called ‘biconditional discrimination’ task: During training, one odour is paired with reinforcement only in light, but not in darkness; the other odour in turn is reinforced only in darkness, but not in light. Thus, neither the odours nor the visual conditions alone predict reinforcement, only combinations of both do. I find no evidence that either larval or adult fruit flies were to solve such task, speaking against a cross-talk between olfactory and visual modalities. Previous studies however suggest such cross-talk. To reconcile these results, I suggest classifying different kinds of interaction between sensory modalities, according to their site along the sensory-motor continuum: I consider an interaction ‘truly’ cross-modal, if it is between the specific features of the stimuli. I consider an interaction ’amodal’ if it instead engages the behavioural tendencies or ‘values’ elicited by each stimulus. Such reasoning brings me to conclude that different behavioural tasks require different kinds of interaction between sensory modalities; whether a given kind of interaction will be found depends on the neuronal infrastructure, which is a function of the species and the developmental stage. Predictive learning of pain-relief in fruit flies Fruit flies build two opposing kinds of memory, based on an experience with electric shock: Those odours that precede shock during training are learned as predictors for punishment and are subsequently avoided; those odours that follow shock during training on the other hand are learned as signals for relief and are subsequently approached. I focus on such relief learning. I start with a detailed parametric analysis of relief learning, testing for reproducibility as well as effects of gender, repetition of training, odour identity, odour concentration and shock intensity. I also characterize how relief memories, once formed, decay. In addition, concerning the psychological mechanisms of relief learning, first, I show that relief learning establishes genuinely associative conditioned approach behaviour and second, I report that it is most likely not mediated by context associations. These results enable the following neurobiological analysis of relief learning; further, they will form in the future the basis for a mathematical model; finally, they will guide the researchers aiming at uncovering relief learning in other experimental systems. Next, I embark upon neurogenetic analysis of relief learning. First, I report that fruit flies mutant for the so called white gene build overall more ‘negative’ memories about an experience with electric shock. That is, in the white mutants, learning about the painful onset of shock is enhanced, whereas learning about the relieving offset of shock is diminished. As they are coherently affected, these two kinds of learning should be in a balance. The molecular mechanism of the effect of white on this balance remains unresolved. Finally, as a first step towards a neuronal circuit analysis of relief learning, I compare it to reward learning and punishment learning. I find that relief learning is distinct from both in terms of the requirement for biogenic amine signaling: Reward and punishment are respectively signalled by octopamine and dopamine, for relief learning, either of these seem dispensible. Further, I find no evidence for roles for two other biogenic amines, tyramine and serotonin in relief learning. Based on these findings I give directions for further research.
Cytokines are hormones that carry information from ceJI to ceH. This information is read from their surface upon binding to transmembrane receptors and by the subsequent initiation of receptor oligomerization. An inftuence on this process through mutagenesis on the hormone surface is highly desirab)e for medical reasons. However, an understanding of hormone-receptor interactions requires insight into the structural changes introduced by the mutations. In this line structural studies on human TL-4 and the medically important IL-4 antagonists YI24D and Y124G are presented. The site a.round YI24 is an important epitope responsible for the a.bility of 11-4 t.o ca.use a signal in the target cells. It is shown that the local main-chain structure around residue 124 in the variants remains unchanged. A strategy is presented here which allows the study of these types of proteins and their variants by NMR which does not require carbon Iabeiied sa.mples.
Bispecific T cell engager (BiTE) display a novel design among the class of bispecific antibodies and hold great promise to fight diverse cancers. BiTE molecules consist of two different binding entities derived from two human IgG antibodies connected by a short peptide linker. Their binding arms are directed against the CD3e chain of the T cell receptor on T cells and against an antigen that is specific for (e.g., CD19 for lymphoma in MT103) or over-expressed on (e.g., EpCAM for epithelial cancer in MT110) tumor cells. Without requirement for pre- or co-stimulation, BiTE molecules efficiently redirect CD3+ T cells towards tumor cells expressing the relevant target antigen. Only a BiTE molecule simultaneously bound to both tumor cell and T cell activates the T cell to exert its cytolytic function resulting in tumor cell death. In T cells stimulated with both BiTE and target cells, elevated levels of caspase activation and increased expression of cytotoxic and signaling proteins are observed. These include cytolytic proteins granzyme B and perforin, activation markers CD69 and CD25 and adhesion molecules CD2 and LFA-1. Activated T cells secrete the usual mix of cytokines, among them pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-g and TNF-a. The membrane of tumor cells expressing the relevant target antigen is perforated during the attack of BiTE-stimulated effector cells as can be concluded from adenylate kinase release from the cytosol of tumor cells. Ca2+-chelator EGTA completely blocked BiTE-mediated activation of caspases and tumor cell lysis. As perforin is strictly Ca2+-dependent, a major role for this pore-forming protein is assumed for the elimination of tumor cells via BiTE-stimulated T cells. Granzyme B and caspases are main players in BiTE-mediated elimination of tumor cells. Inhibitors of granzyme B or caspases reduce or block, respectively the activation of caspases. However, other signals of apoptosis (cleavage of PARP and fragmentation of DNA) were only reduced by granzyme B inhibitor or caspase inhibitor. Most interestingly, the lytic capacity of BiTE molecules was not impaired by granzyme B inhibitor or caspase inhibitor. It seems that there is no requirement for granzyme B and caspases to be present simultaneously. Instead the data presented provide evidence that they can be replaced one at a time by related proteins. Pre-incubation of effector cells with the glucocorticoids dexamethasone or methylprednisolone resulted in markedly decreased secretion of cytokines by T cells yet only a small reduction in the expression of activation markers and adhesion molecules on T cells and specific lysis of tumor cells upon BiTE stimulation. Soluble factors secreted in an undirected manner by BiTE-stimulated T cells do not mediate tumor cell death by themselves. Bystander cells negative for the antigen that is recognized by the BiTE molecule will not be compromised by BiTE activity. The cytokine TGF-b reduced proliferation as well as granzyme B and perforin expression of BiTE-stimulated T cells. Redirected lysis by BiTE-activated T cells was also decreased under the influence of TGF-b, however lysis was still performed at a reasonable rate (72 % of target cells). TGF-b does not exert a deleterious effect on lytic potential of BiTE-stimulated T cells. The minimal anticipated biological effect level for the BiTE MT110 was determined for the entry of MT110 into phase I clinical studies. Experiments analyzing redirected lysis of tumor cells, expression of activation marker CD25 and cytokine release by T cells revealed a MABEL value of 50 pg/ml for MT110.
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen presenting cells which serve as a passage between the innate and the acquired immunity. Aspergillosis is a major lethal condition in immunocompromised patients caused by the adaptable saprophytic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. The healthy human immune system is capable to ward off A. fumigatus infections however immune-deficient patients are highly vulnerable to invasive aspergillosis. A. fumigatus can persist during infection due to its ability to survive the immune response of human DCs. Therefore, the study of the metabolism specific to the context of infection may allow us to gain insight into the adaptation strategies of both the pathogen and the immune cells. We established a metabolic model of A. fumigatus central metabolism during infection of DCs and calculated the metabolic pathway (elementary modes; EMs). Transcriptome data were used to identify pathways activated when A. fumigatus is challenged with DCs. In particular, amino acid metabolic pathways, alternative carbon metabolic pathways and stress regulating enzymes were found to be active. Metabolic flux modeling identified further active enzymes such as alcohol dehydrogenase, inositol oxygenase and GTP cyclohydrolase participating in different stress responses in A. fumigatus. These were further validated by qRT-PCR from RNA extracted under these different conditions. For DCs, we outlined the activation of metabolic pathways in response to the confrontation with A. fumigatus. We found the fatty acid metabolism plays a crucial role, along with other metabolic changes. The gene expression data and their analysis illuminate additional regulatory pathways activated in the DCs apart from interleukin regulation. In particular, Toll-like receptor signaling, NOD-like receptor signaling and RIG-I-like receptor signaling were active pathways. Moreover, we identified subnetworks and several novel key regulators such as UBC, EGFR, and CUL3 of DCs to be activated in response to A. fumigatus. In conclusion, we analyze the metabolic and regulatory responses of A. fumigatus and DCs when confronted with each other.
Aspergillus is an important fungal genus containing economically important species, as well as pathogenic species of animals and plants. Using eighteen fungal species of the genus Aspergillus, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of conserved genes and their evolution. This also allows us to investigate the selection pressure driving the adaptive evolution in the pathogenic species A. fumigatus. Among single-copy orthologs (SCOs) for A. fumigatus and the closely related species A. fischeri, we identified 122 versus 50 positively selected genes (PSGs), respectively. Moreover, twenty conserved genes of unknown function were established to be positively selected and thus important for adaption. A. fumigatus PSGs interacting with human host proteins show over-representation of adaptive, symbiosis-related, immunomodulatory and virulence-related pathways, such as the TGF-β pathway, insulin receptor signaling, IL1 pathway and interfering with phagosomal GTPase signaling. Additionally, among the virulence factor coding genes, secretory and membrane protein-coding genes in multi-copy gene families, 212 genes underwent positive selection and also suggest increased adaptation, such as fungal immune evasion mechanisms (aspf2), siderophore biosynthesis (sidD), fumarylalanine production (sidE), stress tolerance (atfA) and thermotolerance (sodA). These genes presumably contribute to host adaptation strategies. Genes for the biosynthesis of gliotoxin are shared among all the close relatives of A. fumigatus as an ancient defense mechanism. Positive selection plays a crucial role in the adaptive evolution of A. fumigatus. The genome-wide profile of PSGs provides valuable targets for further research on the mechanisms of immune evasion, antimycotic targeting and understanding fundamental virulence processes.
Nucleoli provide the fascinating possibility of linking morphologically distinct structures such as those seen in the electron microscope with biochemical f eatures of the formation and step wise maturation of ribosomes. Localization of proteins by immunocytochemistry and of rRNA genes and their transcripts by in situ hybridization has greatly improved our understanding of the structural-functional relationships of the nucleolus. The present review describes some recent results obtained by electron microscopic in situ hybridization and argues that this approach has the potential to correlate each step of the complex pre-rRNA maturation pathway with nucleolar structures. Evidence is accumulating that the nucleolus-specific U3 snRNPs (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles) participate in rRNA processing events, similar to the role played by the nucleoplasmic snRNPs in mRNA maturation. The intranucleolar distribution of U3 snRNA is consistent with the view that it is involved in both early and late stages of pre-rRNA processing.
Cellular responses to outer stimuli are the basis for all biological processes. Signal integration is achieved by protein cascades, recognizing and processing molecules from the environment. Factors released by pathogens or inflammation usually induce an inflammatory response, a signal often transduced by Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF). TNFα receptors TNF-R1 and TNF-R2 can in turn lead to apoptosis or proliferation via NF-B. These processes are closely regulated by membrane compartimentalization, protein interactions and trafficking. Fluorescence microscopy offers a reliable and non-invasive method to probe these cellular events. However, some processes on a native membrane are not resolvable, as they are well below the diffraction limit of microscopy. The recent development of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy methods enables the observation of these cellular players well below this limit: by localizing, tracking and counting molecules with high spatial and temporal resolution, these new fluorescence microscopy methods offer a previously unknown insight into protein interactions at the near-molecular level. Direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) utilizes the reversible, stochastic blinking events of small commercially available fluorescent dyes, while photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) utilizes phototransformation of genetically encoded fluorescent proteins. By photoactivating only a small fraction of the present fluorophores in each observation interval, single emitters can be localized with high precision and a super-resolved image can be reconstructed. Quantum Dot Triexciton imaging (QDTI) utilizes the three-photon absorption (triexcitonic) properties of quantum dots (QD) and to achieve a twofold resolution increase using conventional confocal microscopes. In this thesis, experimental approaches were implemented to achieve super-resolution microscopy in fixed and live-cells to study the spatial and temporal dynamics of TNF and other cellular signaling events. We introduce QDTI to study the three-dimensional cellular distribution of biological targets, offering an easy method to achieve resolution enhancement in combination with optical sectioning, allowing the preliminary quantification of labeled proteins. As QDs are electron dense, QDTI can be used for correlative fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy, proving the versatility of QD probes. Utilizing the phototransformation properties of fluorescent proteins, single-receptor tracking on live cells was achieved, applying the concept of single particle tracking PALM (sptPALM) to track the dynamics of a TNF-R1-tdEos chimera on the membrane. Lateral receptor dynamics can be tracked with high precision and the influences of ligand addition or lipid disruption on TNF-R1 mobility was observed. The results reveal complex receptor dynamics, implying internalization processes in response to TNFα stimulation and a role for membrane domains with reduced fluidity, so-called lipid raft domains, in TNF-R1 compartimentalization prior or post ligand induction. Comparisons with previously published FCS data show a good accordance, but stressing the increased data depth available in sptPALM experiments. Additionally, the active transport of NF-κB-tdEos fusions was observed in live neurons under chemical stimulation and/or inhibition. Contrary to phototransformable proteins that need no special buffers to exhibit photoconversion or photoactivation, dSTORM has previously been unsuitable for in vivo applications, as organic dyes relied on introducing the probes via immunostaining in concert with a reductive, oxygen-free medium for proper photoswitching behaviour. ATTO655 had been previously shown to be suitable for live-cell applications, as its switching behavior can be catalyzed by the reductive environment of the cytoplasm. By introducing the cell-permeant organic dye via a chemical tag system, a high specificity and low background was achieved. Here, the labeled histone H2B complex and thus single nucleosome movements in a live cell can be observed over long time periods and with ~20 nm resolution. Implementing these new approaches for imaging biological processes with high temporal and spatial resolution provides new insights into the dynamics and spatial heterogeneities of proteins, further elucidating their function in the organism and revealing properties that are usually only detectable in vitro.
HRAS belongs to the RAS genes superfamily. RAS genes are important players in several human tumors and the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs12628 has been shown to contribute to the risk of bladder, colon, gastrointestinal, oral, and thyroid carcinoma. We hypothesized that this SNP may affect the risk of cutaneous melanoma as well. HRAS gene contains a polymorphic region (rs112587690), a repeated hexanucleotide -GGGCCT- located in intron 1. Three alleles of this region, P1, P2, and P3, have been identified that contain two, three, and four repeats of the hexanucleotide, respectively. We investigated the clinical impact of these polymorphisms in a case–control study. A total of 141 melanoma patients and 118 healthy donors from the North America Caucasian population were screened for rs12628 and rs112587690 polymorphisms. Genotypes were assessed by capillary sequencing or fragment analysis, respectively, and rs12628 CC and rs112587690 P1P1 genotypes significantly associated with increased melanoma risk (OR = 3.83, p = 0.003; OR = 11.3, p = 0.033, respectively), while rs112587690 P1P3 frequency resulted significantly higher in the control group (OR = 0.5, p = 0.017). These results suggest that rs12628 C homozygosis may be considered a potential risk factor for melanoma development in the North American population possibly through the linkage to rs112587690.
RNA polymerase I preparations purified from a rat hepatoma contained DNA topoisomerase activity. The DNA topoisomerase associated with the polymerase had an Mr of 110000, required Mg2+ but not ATP, and was recognized by anti-topoisomerase I antibodies. When added to RNA polymerase I preparations containing topoisomerase activity, anti-topoisomerase I antibodies were able to inhibit the DNA relaxing activity of the preparation as well as RNA synthesis in vitro. RNA polymerase II prepared by analogous procedures did not contain topoisomerase activity and was not recognized by the antibodies. The topoisomerase I: polymerase I complex was reversibly dissociated by column chromatography on Sephacryl S200 in the presence of 0.25 M (NH4hS04. Topoisomerase I was immunolocalized in the transcriptionally active ribosomal gene complex containing RNA polymerase I in situ. These data indicate that topoisomerase I and RNA polymerase I are tightly complexed both in vivo and in vitro, and suggest a role for DNA topoisomerase I in the transcription of ribosomal genes.
Aufklärung der molekularen Struktur und Funktion des R-Typ Anionenkanals QUAC1 in Schließzellen
(2016)
Zum Gasaustausch mit Ihrer Umgebung besitzen höhere Pflanzen stomatäre Komplexe. Die Turgor-getrieben Atmungsöffnungen in der Epidermis der Blätter werden von zwei Schließzellen umsäumt. Um bei Trockenheit einen exzessiven Verlust von Wasser zu verhindern, synthetisieren/importieren Schließzellen das Stresshormon ABA (Abszisinsäure), das über eine schnelle ABA-Signalkaskade plasmamembrangebundene Ionenkanäle steuert. Dabei wird der Stomaschluss durch die Aktivität von R-(rapid) und S-(slow)Typ Anionenkanälen initiiert. Obwohl die R- und S-Typ Anionenströme in Schließzellen seit Jahrzehnten bekannt waren, konnte erst kürzlich das Gen identifiziert werden, das für den S-Typ Anionenkanal (SLAC1, Slow activating Anion Channel 1) kodiert. Daraufhin wurde schnell der Zusammenhang zwischen dem Stresshormon ABA, der ABA-Signalkette und der Aktivität des SLAC1 Anionenkanals im heterologen Expressionssystem der X. laevis Oozyten als auch in Schließzellprotoplasten aufgeklärt. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass ABA durch einen zytosolischen Rezeptor/Phosphatasekomplex (RCAR1/ABI1) erkannt wird und die Aktivität von kalziumabhängigen Kinasen (CPK-Familie) sowie kalziumunabhängigen Kinasen der SnRK2-Familie (OST1) steuert. In Anwesenheit von ABA phosphorylieren diese Kinasen SLAC1 und sorgen so für die Aktivierung von Anionenströmen und damit für die Initiierung des Stomaschlusses.
Die genetische Herkunft der ABA-induzierten R-Typ Ströme in Schließzellen war zu Beginn der vorliegenden Arbeit noch nicht bekannt. R-Typ Ströme zeichnen sich durch eine strikte Spannungsabhängigkeit und sehr schnellen Aktivierungs- sowie Deaktivierungskinetiken aus. Die Charakterisierung von Verlustmutanten des Schließzell-exprimierten Gens ALMT12 (Aluminium-aktivierter Malattransporter 12) konnte in Zusammenarbeit mit der Arbeitsgruppe Martinoia (Zürich) erste Hinweise auf die Beteiligung dieses Gens an der Stomabewegung demonstrieren. Anschließende Patch-Clamp Untersuchungen an Schließzellprotoplasten aus Wildtyppflanzen und ALMT12-Verlustmutanten zeigten, dass ALMT12 für die Malat-aktivierte R-Typ Anionenstromkomponente verantwortlich ist. Deshalb wurde der Anionenkanal QUAC1 (Quickly activating Anion Channel 1) benannt - in Anlehnung an die Benennung des Anionenkanals SLAC1. Mit der Identifizierung von QUAC1 in planta war es nun meine Aufgabe, die elektrischen Eigenschaften von ALMT12/QUAC1 und dessen Aktivitätskontrolle durch die ABA-Signalkaskade im heterologen Expressionssystem der Xenopus Oozyten zu untersuchen.
Protein-Protein Interaktionsstudien mit der Hilfe der Bimolekularen Fluoreszenz-Technik, sowie die Beobachtung von markant erhöhten QUAC1 Anionenströmen in Anwesenheit der SnRK2 Kinase OST1 und den Calcium-abhängigen Kinasen CPK2 und CPK20, ließen den Schluss zu, dass QUAC1, ebenso wie SLAC1, unter der Kontrolle des schnellen ABA-Signalwegs steht. Eine zusätzliche Expression des negativen Regulators ABI1 unterdrückte die aktivierenden Eigenschaften der QUAC1-aktivierenden Kinasen, was die Hypothese der Koregulation von S- und R-Typ Anionenkanälen durch die gleiche ABA-Signalkaskade weiter unterstützt.
Zur weiteren Aufklärung der elektrischen Eigenschaften von QUAC1 wurden tiefgreifende elektrophysiologische Untersuchungen mit der Zwei-Elektroden-Spannungsklemmen Technik durchgeführt. Durch die Wahl von geschickten Spannungsprotokollen konnte sowohl die schnelle Aktivierungskinetik als auch die schnelle Deaktivierungskinetik von QUAC1 bestimmt und quantifiziert werden. Diese Stromantworten waren sehr ähnlich zu den R-Typ Strömen, die man von Patch-Clamp Untersuchungen an Schließzellprotoplasten kannte, was ein weiteres Indiz dafür war, dass es sich bei QUAC1 tatsächlich um eine Komponente des R-Typ Kanals aus Schließzellen handelt. Weiterführende Untersuchungen bezüglich der Spannungsabhängigkeit und der Selektivität von QUAC1 charakterisierten das Protein als einen Depolarisations-aktivierten Anionenkanal mit einer starken Präferenz für Dicarbonsäuren wie Malat und Fumarat. Zudem konnte auch eine Leitfähigkeit für Sulfat und Chlorid nachgewiesen werden. Interessanterweise erwies sich Malat nicht nur als ein permeierendes Ion, sondern auch als ein regulierendes Ion, welches das spannungsabhängige Schalten von QUAC1 maßgeblich beeinflusst. Extrazelluläres Malat verschob die Offenwahrscheinlichkeit von QUAC1 sehr stark zu negativeren Membranspannungen, so dass der Anionenkanal bereits bei typischen Ruhespannungen von Schließzellen (ca. -150 mV) aktiviert werden konnte. Eine Beladung von QUAC1-exprimierender Oozyten mit Malat bewirkte zum einen höhere Anioneneffluxströme, aber auch eine Verschiebung der spannungsabhängigen Offenwahrscheinlichkeit zu negativeren Membranpotentialen.
Struktur-Funktionsanalysen sollten die umstrittene Topologie von ALMT-ähnlichen Proteinen beleuchten und die molekulare Herkunft der Phosphorylierungsaktivierung aufzeigen, sowie die Malatabhängigkeit und die starke Spannungsabhängigkeit von QUAC1 aufklären. Es zeigte sich jedoch schnell, dass Punktmutationen und Deletionen im C-Terminus von QUAC1 sehr häufig zu nicht-funktionellen Mutanten führten. Diese Tatsache weist darauf hin, dass es sich um einen hoch-strukturierten und funktionell sehr wichtigen Bereich des Anionenkanals handelt. Auch die Topologie des Anionenkanalproteins wird in der Literatur kontrovers diskutiert. Sowohl die Lage des N- und C-Terminus (extrazellulär oder intrazellulär), als auch die Anzahl der membrandurchspannenden Domänen war nicht abschließend geklärt. Deshalb wurde in einem Fluoreszenz-basiertem Ansatz die Lage der Termini bestimmt. Im Rahmen meiner Arbeit konnte somit eindeutig gezeigt werden, dass sich beide Termini im Zytosol der Zelle befinden. Auf Grundlage von Modellen aus der Literatur und meiner Topologiebestimmungen konnte schließlich ein erweitertes Modell zur Struktur von QUAC1 entwickelt werden. Dieses Modell kann in Zukunft als Ausgangspunkt für weiterführende Struktur-Funktionsanalysen dienen.
Diese Arbeit hat somit gezeigt, dass das Gen QUAC1 tatsächlich eine Komponente der R-Typ Ströme in Schließzellen kodiert. Ebenso wie SLAC1 steht der Malat-induzierte Anionenkanal QUAC1 unter der Kontrolle der schnellen ABA-Signalkaskade. In Zukunft bleibt zu klären, welche weiteren Gene für die R-Typ Kanalproteine in Schließzellen kodieren und welche strukturelle Grundlage für die besonderen Eigenschaften von QUAC1 hinsichtlich seiner schnellen Kinetiken, seiner Selektivität und Aktivierbarkeit durch Malat.
Aufklärung der Struktur und Charakterisierung des ternären Komplexes aus BMP-2, BMPR-IA und ActR-IIB
(2006)
„Bone Morphogenetic Proteins“ (BMPs) kontrollieren eine Vielzahl unterschiedlichster Prozesse bei der Embryonalentwicklung und der postnatalen Gewebehomöostase. Wie TGF-betas, Activine und andere Mitglieder der TGF-beta Superfamilie vermitteln BMPs ihr Signal durch die Bildung eines aus dem Liganden und zwei Rezeptorsubtypen bestehenden Signalkomplexes. Für die Rezeptoraktivierung ist ein Zwei-Schritt Mechanismus allgemein akzeptiert. Bisher wurde nur der erste Schritt, die Bindung des Liganden an seinen hochaffinen Rezeptor, strukturell untersucht. Der molekulare Mechanismus der anschließenden Rekrutierung des niederaffinen Rezeptortyps war bisher nicht bekannt. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt die Präparation, Kristallisation und Strukturaufklärung des ternären Komplexes aus BMP-2 und den extrazellulären Domänen von BMPR-IA und ActR-IIB. Mit der Kristallstruktur dieses ternären Komplexes kann erstmals der Mechanismus der BMP Rezeptoraktivierung von der Bindung des Liganden bis hin zur Transaktivierung untersucht werden. Der Ligand BMP-2 präsentiert sich hier, im Gegensatz zu anderen Mitgliedern der TGF-beta Superfamilie, als nahezu starre Komponente, um welche die beiden Rezeptortypen symmetrisch angelagert werden. Zwischen den extrazellulären Domänen der Rezeptoren können keine direkten Kontakte beobachtet werden. Die in Zellen beobachtete Kooperativität bei der Rekrutierung des niederaffinen Rezeptors im BMP-2 System ist folglich weder durch allosterische Effekte, noch durch direkte Rezeptor-Rezeptor-Kontakte erklärbar. Vielmehr repräsentiert die Bindung des niederaffinen Rezeptors von BMP-2 einen Minimalmechanismus, bei dem Kooperativität über die Verringerung der Freiheitsgrade durch Lokalisation des Liganden in der Zellmembran erzeugt wird. Die durchgeführten Mutations-/Interaktionsanalysen erlauben vertiefende Einblicke wie Affinität und Spezifität im BMP/Activin-System generiert werden. Es zeigt sich, dass sowohl bei der niederaffinen Interaktion von ActR-IIBecd mit BMP-2 bzw. BMP-7 als auch bei der hochaffinen Bindung von ActA mit ActR-IIBecd ein Großteil der freien Bindungsenergie von denselben hydrophoben Interaktionen getragen wird. Während polare Interaktionen bei der niederaffinen Bindung der BMPs an ActR-IIBecd kaum eine Rolle spielen, stellt die zentrale Wasserstoffbrücke zwischen ActA Ser90(OG) und ActR-IIB Leu61(N) bei der Bildung des Komplexes ActA/ActR-IIBecd eine entscheidende Determinante der hochaffinen Bindung dar. BMP-2 bindet an die Typ II Rezeptoren BMPR-II, ActR-II und ActR-IIB mit nahezu identischer Affinität, daher wird eine promiske Verwendung dieser Rezeptoren angenommen. In dieser Arbeit konnte gezeigt werden, dass die spezifische Erkennung und Bindung der Typ II Rezeptoren durch den Austausch einzelner Aminosäuren modulierbar ist. Mit den hier gewonnenen Kenntnissen über den molekularen Mechanismus der Typ II Rezeptorerkennung ist nun eine Generierung von BMPs mit definierter Typ II Rezeptorspezifität möglich. Diese BMP-2 Varianten können als Werkzeuge zur Aufklärung von Typ II Rezeptor-spezifischen Signalwegen verwendet werden. Ebenso wäre es denkbar, BMP-2 Varianten mit ausgeprägter Typ II Rezeptor Spezifität in vivo zur Modulation TypII Rezeptor spezifischer Signalwege zu benutzen. Beispielsweise könnte ein auf BMP-2 basierendes ActR-IIB-spezifisches Protein als Myostatin-Antagonist zur Behandlung von Muskeldystrophie eingesetzt werden.
Neuroblastoma is the most abundant, solid, extracranial tumor in early childhood and the leading cause of cancer-related childhood deaths worldwide. Patients with high-risk neuroblastoma often show MYCN-amplification and elevated levels of Aurora-A. They have a low overall survival and despite multimodal therapy options a poor therapeutic prognosis. MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells depend on Aurora-A functionality. Aurora-A stabilizes MYCN and prevents it from proteasomal degradation by competing with the E3 ligase SCFFBXW7. Interaction between Aurora-A and MYCN can be observed only in S phase of the cell cycle and activation of Aurora-A can be induced by MYCN in vitro. These findings suggest the existence of a profound interconnection between Aurora-A and MYCN in S phase. Nevertheless, the details remain elusive and were investigated in this study.
Fractionation experiments show that Aurora-A is recruited to chromatin in S phase in a MYCN-dependent manner. Albeit being unphosphorylated on the activating T288 residue, Aurora-A kinase activity was still present in S phase and several putative, novel targets were identified by phosphoproteomic analysis. Particularly, eight phosphosites dependent on MYCN-activated Aurora-A were identified. Additionally, phosphorylation of serine 10 on histone 3 was verified as a target of this complex in S phase. ChIP-sequencing experiments reveal that Aurora-A regulates transcription elongation as well as histone H3.3 variant incorporation in S phase. 4sU-sequencing as well as immunoblotting demonstrated that Aurora-A activity impacts splicing. PLA measurements between the transcription and replication machinery revealed that Aurora-A prevents the formation of transcription-replication conflicts, which activate of kinase ATR.
Aurora-A inhibitors are already used to treat neuroblastoma but display dose-limiting toxicity. To further improve Aurora-A based therapies, we investigated whether low doses of Aurora-A inhibitor combined with ATR inhibitor could increase the efficacy of the treatment albeit reducing toxicity. The study shows that the combination of both drugs leads to a reduction in cell growth as well as an increase in apoptosis in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells, which is not observable in MYCN non-amplified neuroblastoma cells. This new approach was also tested by a collaboration partner in vivo resulting in a decrease in tumor burden, an increase in overall survival and a cure of 25% of TH-MYCN mice. These findings indicate indeed a therapeutic window for targeting MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma.
Several studies report autoantibody signatures in cancer. The majority of these studies analyzed adult tumors and compared the seroreactivity pattern of tumor patients with the pattern in healthy controls. Here, we compared the autoimmune response in patients with neuroblastoma and patients with Wilms tumor representing two different childhood tumors. We were able to differentiate untreated neuroblastoma patients from untreated Wilms tumor patients with an accuracy of 86.8%, a sensitivity of 87.0% and a specificity of 86.7%. The separation of treated neuroblastoma patients from treated Wilms tumor patients' yielded comparable results with an accuracy of 83.8%. We furthermore identified the antigens that contribute most to the differentiation between both tumor types. The analysis of these antigens revealed that neuroblastoma was considerably more immunogenic than Wilms tumor. The reported antigens have not been found to be relevant for comparative analyses between other tumors and controls. In summary, neuroblastoma appears as a highly immunogenic tumor as demonstrated by the extended number of antigens that separate this tumor from Wilms tumor.
Autoantibodies to components of the nucleolus are a unique serological feature of patients with scleroderma. There are autoantibodies of several specificities; one type produces a speckled pattern of nucleolar staining in immunofluorescence. In actinomycin D and 5,6-dichloro-{j-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazoletreated Vero cells, staining was restricted to the fibrillar and not the granular regions. By double immunofluorescence, specific rabbit anti-RNA polymerase I antibodies stained the same fibrillar structures in drug-segregated nucleoli as scleroderma sera. Scleroderma sera immunoprecipitated 13 polypeptides from (35S)methionine-labeled HeLa cell extract with molecular weights ranging from 210,000 to 14,000. Similar polypeptides were precipitated by rabbit anti-RNA polymerase I antibodies, and their common identities were confirmed in immunoabsorption experiments. Microinjection of purified IgG from a patient with speckled nucleolar staining effectively inhibited ribosomal RNA transcription. Autoantibodies to RNA polymerase I were restricted to certain patients with scleroderma and were not found in other autoimmune diseases.
The FDA approval of targeted therapy with BRAFV600E inhibitors like vemurafenib and dabrafenib in 2011 has been the first major breakthrough in the treatment of metastatic melanoma since almost three decades. Despite increased progression free survival and elevated overall survival rates, complete responses are scarce due to resistance development approximately six months after the initial drug treatment. It was previously shown in our group that melanoma cells under vemurafenib pressure in vitro and in vivo exhibit features of drug-induced senescence. It is known that some cell types, which undergo this cell cycle arrest, develop a so-called senescence associated secretome and it has been reported that melanoma cell lines also upregulate the expression of different factors after senescence induction. This work describes the effect of the vemurafenib-induced secretome on cells. Conditioned supernatants of vemurafenib-treated cells increased the viability of naive fibroblast and melanoma cell lines. RNA analysis of donor melanoma cells revealed elevated transcriptional levels of FGF1, MMP2 and CCL2 in the majority of tested cell lines under vemurafenib pressure, and I could confirm the secretion of functional proteins. Similar observations were also done after MEK inhibition as well as in a combined BRAF and MEK inhibitor treatment situation. Interestingly, the transcription of other FGF ligands (FGF7, FGF17) was also elevated after MEK/ERK1/2 inhibition. As FGF receptors are therapeutically relevant, I focused on the analysis of FGFR-dependent processes in response to BRAF inhibition. Recombinant FGF1 increased the survival rate of melanoma cells under vemurafenib pressure, while inhibition of the FGFR pathway diminished the viability of melanoma cells in combination with vemurafenib and blocked the stimulatory effect of vemurafenib conditioned medium. The BRAF inhibitor induced secretome is regulated by active PI3K/AKT signaling, and the joint inhibition of mTor and BRAFV600E led to decreased senescence induction and to a diminished induction of the secretome-associated genes. In parallel, combined inhibition of MEK and PI3K also drastically decreased mRNA levels of the relevant secretome components back to basal levels.
In summary, I could demonstrate that BRAF inhibitor treated melanoma cell lines acquire a specific PI3K/AKT dependent secretome, which is characterized by FGF1, CCL2 and MMP2. This secretome is able to stimulate other cells such as naive melanoma cells and fibroblasts and contributes to a better survival under drug pressure. These data are therapeutically highly relevant, as they imply the usage of novel drug combinations, especially specific FGFR inhibitors, with BRAF inhibitors in the clinic.
The melanoma·inducing gene of Xiphophorus fish encodes the Xmrk receptor tyrosine kinase. U sing a highly specific antiserum p~oduced against the recombinant receptor expressed with a baculovirus, it is shown that Xmrk is the most abundant phosphotyrosine protein in fish melanoma and thus highly activated in the tumors. Studies on a melanoma cellline revealed that these cells produce an activity that considerably stimulates receptor autophosphorylation. The stimulating activity induces receptor down-regulation and can be depleted from the melanoma cellsupernatant by the immobilized recombinant receptor protein. The fish melanoma cells can thus be considered autocrine tumor cells providing a source for future purification and characterization of the Xmrk ligand.
Synaptic vesicles (SVs) are a key component of neuronal signaling and fulfil different roles depending on their composition. In electron micrograms of neurites, two types of vesicles can be distinguished by morphological criteria, the classical “clear core” vesicles (CCV) and the typically larger “dense core” vesicles (DCV), with differences in electron density due to their diverse cargos. Compared to CCVs, the precise function of DCVs is less defined. DCVs are known to store neuropeptides, which function as neuronal messengers and modulators [1]. In C. elegans, they play a role in locomotion, dauer formation, egg-laying, and mechano- and chemosensation [2]. Another type of DCVs, also referred to as granulated vesicles, are known to transport Bassoon, Piccolo and further constituents of the presynaptic density in the center of the active zone (AZ), and therefore are important for synaptogenesis [3].
To better understand the role of different types of SVs, we present here a new automated approach to classify vesicles. We combine machine learning with an extension of our previously developed vesicle segmentation workflow, the ImageJ macro 3D ART VeSElecT. With that we reliably distinguish CCVs and DCVs in electron tomograms of C. elegans NMJs using image-based features. Analysis of the underlying ground truth data shows an increased fraction of DCVs as well as a higher mean distance between DCVs and AZs in dauer larvae compared to young adult hermaphrodites. Our machine learning based tools are adaptable and can be applied to study properties of different synaptic vesicle pools in electron tomograms of diverse model organisms.
Das hohe invasive Potential und die starke Resistenz gegen Radio-/Chemotherapie von Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) Zellen machen sie zu dem tödlichsten Tumor ihrer Art. Es ist deshalb von großem Interesse die Grundlagen, welche der Migrationsfähigkeit und DNA Reparatur zu Grunde liegen, besser zu verstehen.
Im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit wurden zwei Algorithmen zur automatischen Analyse der Migration in der Einzelzellverfolgung und im Wundheilungsassay modifiziert. Die Auswertung der Daten konnte automatisch und somit schnell, effektiv und mit geringerem Arbeitsaufwand durchgeführt werden. Mit Hilfe dieser automatischen Algorithmen wurde die Migrationsfähigkeit von zwei GBM-Zelllinien (DK-MG und SNB19) untersucht. Zusätzlich wurde die konfokale Laserscanning- sowie die hochauflösende dSTORM-Fluoreszenzmikroskopie verwendet um die, der Zellbewegung zu Grunde liegende, Struktur des F Aktin und der fokalen Adhäsionskinase (FAK) aufzulösen und darzustellen. Unter Anwendung dieser genannten Methoden sind die Effekte des dualen PI3K/mTOR Inhibitors PI-103 alleine und in Kombination mit dem Hsp90 Inhibitor NVP AUY922 mit und ohne Bestrahlung auf die Bewegung untersucht worden. Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass sich beide Zelllinien deutlich in ihrem migratorischem Potential in vitro unterscheiden und zudem auch markante Unterschiede in ihrer Morphologie aufweisen. Die weniger invasiven DK MG-Zellen besitzen eine polarisierte Zellstruktur, wohingegen SNB19-Zellen sich durch multipolare ungerichtete Bewegung auszeichneten. Zudem wurde die Migration, durch PI3K/mTOR Inhibition mit PI-103 bei den DK-MG-Zellen (p53 wt, PTEN wt), sehr effektiv unterdrückt. Wohingegen sich die SNB19-Zellen (p53 mut, PTEN mut) resistent gegen diesen Inhibitor zeigten. Hsp90 Inhibition offenbarte in beiden Zelllinien einen starken inhibitorischen Effekt auf die Migration der Zellen sowie die Reorganisierung des F Aktinskelettes.
In der zweiten Hälfte dieser Arbeit wurde ein Augenmerk auf die DNA-DSB-Reparatur der GBM Zellen nach ionisierender Strahlung gelegt. Zunächst wurde eine automatische Analysesoftware „FocAn-3D“ entwickelt, mit dessen Hilfe die DNA Doppelstrangbruchreparaturkinetik untersucht werden sollte. Diese Software ermöglicht es die gesamten Zellkerne mit ihren γH2AX-Foci in 3D-cLSM-Aufnahmen zu untersuchen. Es konnte somit eine Verbesserung der Genauigkeit in der Auszählung der γH2AX-Foci erreicht werden, welche 2D beschränkter Software verwehrt bleibt. Mit FocAn-3D konnte der gesamte Verlauf der Induktions- und Abbauphase der γH2AX-Foci in DK MG- und SNB19-Zellen mit einem mathematischen Modell ausgewertet und dargestellt werden. Des Weiteren wurde die Nanometerstruktur von γH2AX- und pDNA-PKcs-Foci mittels hochauflösender dSTORM-Mikroskopie untersucht. Konventionelle Mikroskopiemethoden, begrenzt durch das Beugungslimit und einer Auflösung von ~200 nm, konnten die Nanometerstruktur (<100 nm) der Reparaturfoci bisher nicht darstellen. Mit Hilfe der beugungsunbegrenzten dSTORM-Mikroskopie war es möglich in DK MG- und SNB19-Zellen die Nanometerstruktur genannten Reparaturproteine in den Foci mit einer Auflösung von bis zu ~20 nm darzustellen. γH2AX-Foci zeigten sich als eine Verteilung aus einzelnen Untereinheiten („Nanofoci“) mit einem Durchmesser von ~45 nm. Dies lässt die Vermutung zu, dass es sich hier um die elementare Substruktur der Foci und somit der γH2AX enthaltenen Nukleosome handelt. DNA-PK-Foci wiesen hingegen eine diffusere Verteilung auf.
Die in dieser Arbeit ermittelten Unterschiede im Migrationsverhalten der Zellen rechtfertigen eine weitere präklinische Untersuchung der verwendeten Inhibitoren als potentielle Zelltherapeutika für die Behandlung von GBM. Zudem konnte sich dSTORM als machtvolles Hilfsmittel, sowohl zur Analyse der Migration zugrundeliegenden Zytoskelettstruktur und der Effekte der Hsp90 Inhibierung, als auch, der Nanostruktur der DNA-DSB-Reparaturfoci herausstellen. Es ist anzunehmen, dass beugungsunbegrenzte Mikroskopiemethoden sich als bedeutende Werkzeuge in der medizinischen und biologischen Erforschung der DNA-Reparaturmechanismen herausstellen werden. Das in dieser Arbeit entwickelte ImageJ Plugin „FocAn-3D“ bewies sich ebenfalls als ein vielversprechendes Werkzeug für die Analyse der Reparaturkinetik. Mit Hilfe von „FocAn-3D“ sollte es somit möglich sein u.a. den Einfluss gezielter Inhibition auf den zeitlichen Verlauf der Induktion und des Abbaus der DNA-Reparaturmaschinerie genauer zu studieren.
