Terahertz electromagnetic fields are non-ionizing electromagnetic fields in the frequency range from 0.1 to 10 THz. Potential applications of these electromagnetic fields include the whole body scanners, which currently apply millimeter waves just below the terahertz range, but future scanners will use higher frequencies in the terahertz range. These and other applications will bring along human exposure to these fields. Up to now, only a limited number of investigations on biological effects of terahertz electromagnetic fields have been performed. Therefore, research is strongly needed to enable reliable risk assessment. Cells were exposed for 2 h, 8 h, and 24 h with different power intensities ranging from 0.04 mW/cm2 to 2 mW/cm2, representing levels below, at, and above current safety limits. Genomic damage on the chromosomal level was measured as micronucleus formation. DNA strand breaks and alkali-labile sites were quantified with the comet assay. No DNA strand breaks or alkali-labile sites were observed as a consequence of exposure to terahertz electromagnetic fields in the comet assay. The fields did not cause chromosomal damage in the form of micronucleus induction.
Introduction: Colon cancer is one of the major human malignancies worldwide, and much effort has been applied to understand the process of colon carcinogenesis, as well as the role of potential treatments and co-therapeutical agents against it. A growing body of evidence suggests that the use of fluoxetine (FLX), an antidepressant belonging to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), may be associated with a reduced colon cancer risk. However, controversial opinions have been published and an identification of the mechanisms of the activity of FLX on colon cells would help in the clarification of this controversy. Objectives: Using several in vitro and in vivo-based methods and analyses, we aimed to verify whether FLX has antioxidant, pro-oxidant or DNA-damaging potential in standard toxicological assays; to check whether and how FLX could prevent and reduce colon preneoplastic lesions; to ascertain whether FLX has any oncostatic potential against colon tumors; and, to investigate whether FLX activity could be comparable with a known and current applied chemotherapeutic agent against colon cancer. Results: FLX did not have any antioxidant potential in our experiments. Although it did not induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation or DNA-damage in fibroblast and colon tumor cell lines, FLX reduced dysplasia and proliferation in two different carcinogen models. Further, a significant decrease in colon stromal reactivity and angiogenesis was found in both carcinogen-induced preneoplasia models. In a xenograft model of colon cancer, FLX shrank tumors, reduced tumor proliferation, arrested cancer cells at the G0/G1 cell-cycle phase, and took ROS generation under control. Such effects were detected together with an intracellular acidification and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in FLX-treated cells. Modulating mitochondrial respiratory chain, HIF-1 expression and Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, FLX was found to reduce colon tumors similar to the widely used chemotherapeutic agent 5-Fluoracil activity. Conclusion: Our collective data suggest that FLX is a remarkable chemopreventive and oncostatic agent against colon preneoplastic lesions and tumors, acting without DNA-damage or ROS generation.
Das Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosteron-System (RAAS) reguliert den Blutdruck und den Wasser- und Elektrolythaushalt des Körpers. Angiotensin II (Ang II), das aktive Peptid des RAAS, bewirkt eine Vasokonstriktion und in höheren Konzentrationen Bluthochdruck. Epidemiologische Studien haben gezeigt, dass eine Verbindung zwischen Hypertonie und dem gehäuften Auftreten von Krebs besteht. Eine Metaanalyse von 13 Fall-Kontroll-Studien konnte einen Zusammenhang zwischen Hypertonie und einem erhöhten Risiko, an einem Nierenzellkarzinom zu erkranken nachweisen. In vitro-Studien und Studien an der isolierten Niere konnten bereits genotoxische Effekte des blutdruckregulierenden Hormons Ang II zeigen. Zielsetzung dieser Arbeit war es, zunächst in vivo zu prüfen, ob steigende Ang II-Konzentrationen einen Einfluss auf die genomische Stabilität von Nieren- und Herzzellen besitzen. Hierzu wurden im Dosisversuch männliche C57BL/6-Mäuse mit osmotischen Minipumpen ausgestattet, die Ang II in vier verschiedenen Konzentrationen zwischen 60 ng/kg min und 1 µg/kg min über einen Zeitraum von 28 Tagen abgeben sollten. Während des Versuchszeitraums fanden regelmäßige, nicht-invasive Blutdruckmessungen an der Maus statt. Die Behandlung mit Ang II führte zu einem signifikanten Anstieg des Blutdrucks und zu histopathologischen Veränderungen der Glomeruli und des Tubulussystems, was sich in einer verschlechterten Albumin-Ausscheidung wiederspiegelte. Außerdem induzierte die Behandlung mit Ang II die dosisabhängige Bildung von reaktiven Sauerstoffspezies, DNA-Doppelstrangbrüchen und oxidativer DNA-Schäden. Diese Parameter waren bereits in Tieren erhöht, die keinen Bluthochdruck entwickelten und stiegen mit der höchsten Ang II-Konzentration noch an, obwohl hier im Vergleich zur Vorgängergruppe, die eine geringere Ang II-Konzentration erhielt, kein höherer Blutdruck vorlag. Diese Beobachtung deutet auf eine mögliche Unabhängigkeit des entstandenen Schadens vom Bluthochdruck hin und lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit auf Ang II als genomschädigenden Faktor. Der folgende Interventionsversuch sollte Aufschluss über die mögliche blutdruckunabhängige genomschädigende Wirkung von Ang II geben. Dazu wurden C57BL/6-Mäuse neben der Ang II-Behandlung in einer Konzentration von 600 ng/kg min zusätzlich über einen Zeitraum von 28 Tagen mit 5 verschiedenen Substanzen behandelt: Candesartan, Ramipril, Hydralazin, Eplerenon und Tempol. Candesartan ist ein Ang II-Rezeptor-Antagonist, der selektiv den AT1-Rezeptor blockiert. Ramipril wirkt als Hemmer des Angiotensin-Konversions-Enzyms und verhindert die Bildung von endogenem Ang II aus Ang I. Hydralazin, als Vasodilatator, greift nicht in das Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosteron-System ein. Eplerenon blockiert als selektiver Aldosteronantagonist den Mineralkortikoidrezeptor. Tempol wirkt als Antioxidans. Die Behandlung mit Ang II in einer Konzentration von 600 ng/kg min im Interventionsversuch führte zur Hochregulierung der NADPH-Oxidase 4 und zur Produktion reaktiver Sauerstoffspezies in der Niere und im kardiovaskulären Gewebe. Der entstandene oxidative Stress führte wiederum zu DNA-Schäden und einer Aktivierung der Transkriptionsfaktoren Nrf2 und NF-B. Nrf2-vermittelt wurde die Induktion antioxidativer Gene ausgelöst, was allerdings nicht ausreichend war, um vor Ang II-induzierten ROS und DNA-Schäden zu schützen. Eine längerfristige NF-B-Aktivierung durch hohe Ang II-Spiegel kann das Überleben und die Proliferation von Zellen, die DNA-Schäden in Form von Doppelstrangbrüchen tragen, fördern, was eine Tumor-initiierende Wirkung haben könnte. Die beschriebenen Effekte erhöhter Ang II-Spiegel konnten durch die Intervention mit dem AT1-Rezeptorblocker Candesartan verhindert werden, was die Beteiligung des Rezeptors nachweist. Eine blutdruckunabhängige, genomschädigende Wirkung von Ang II konnte leider durch die Intervention mit Hydralazin nicht verdeutlicht werden, da die erwünschte langfristige Blutdrucksenkung ausblieb. Allerdings zeigte die Intervention mit Tempol eine Abnahme an oxidativem Stress und DNA-Schäden trotz ausbleibender Blutdrucksenkung. Die Bedeutung von ROS in der Bildung von DNA-Schäden und die Unabhängigkeit dieser Schäden vom Blutdruck konnten somit hervorgehoben werden. Die Tatsache, dass die Intervention mit Ramipril den Blutdruck nicht senken konnte, der oxidative Stress und die DNA-Schäden durch mögliche antioxidative Eigenschaften aber vermindert wurden, unterstützt diese Beobachtung. Die Intervention mit Eplerenon führte zum Teil zu einer Verminderung an ROS und DNA-Schäden, brachte diese Parameter aber nicht auf Kontrollniveau zurück. Somit ist eine Beteiligung von Aldosteron nicht auszuschließen.
The antidepressant fluoxetine has been under discussion because of its potential influence on cancer risk. It was found to inhibit the development of carcinogen-induced preneoplastic lesions in colon tissue, but the mechanisms of action are not well understood. Therefore, we investigated anti-proliferative effects, and used HT29 colon tumor cells in vitro, as well as C57BL/6 mice exposed to intra-rectal treatment with the carcinogen N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) as models. Fluoxetine increased the percentage of HT29 cells in the G0/G1 phase of cell-cycle, and the expression of p27 protein. This was not related to an induction of apoptosis, reactive oxygen species or DNA damage. In vivo, fluoxetine reduced the development of MNNG-induced dysplasia and vascularization-related dysplasia in colon tissue, which was analyzed by histopathological techniques. An anti-proliferative potential of fluoxetine was observed in epithelial and stromal areas. It was accompanied by a reduction of VEGF expression and of the number of cells with angiogenic potential, such as CD133, CD34, and CD31-positive cell clusters. Taken together, our findings suggest that fluoxetine treatment targets steps of early colon carcinogenesis. This confirms its protective potential, explaining at least partially the lower colon cancer risk under antidepressant therapy.
Idiosynkratische Leberschädigung durch Arzneimittel (z.B. Diclofenac) stellt trotz ihres seltenen Auftretens eine erhebliche Komplikation in der Arzneimittelentwicklung und -therapie dar. Die zu idiosynkratischen Reaktionen führenden, komplexen chemischen und biologischen Abläufe sind noch weitgehend unklar. Inzwischen wird jedoch vermutet, dass die Toxizität eines Arzneimittels durch Arzneistoff-unabhängige Risikofaktoren, wie Krankheiten, Entzündungsreaktionen, Co-Medikation oder Alkohol, erhöht werden kann. Mögliche Mechanismen könnten hierbei eine vermehrte Bildung reaktiver Metaboliten bzw. eine veränderte zelluläre Stress- und Immunantwort sein. Um tiefere Einblicke in die Bedeutung möglicher Arzneistoff-unabhängiger Risikofaktoren zu erhalten, wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit der Einfluss drei verschiedener Stressfaktoren auf die Toxizität von Diclofenac (Dcl) untersucht. Bei diesen Stressfaktoren handelte es sich um Lipopolysaccharid (LPS) und Poly I:C (PIC) zur Simulation einer bakteriellen bzw. viralen Entzündung sowie um Buthionin-Sulfoximin (BSO) zur Depletion zellulären Glutathions. Zusätzlich wurde getestet, ob eine durch Stressfaktoren ausgelöste Erhöhung der Toxizität von Dcl in Ratten mit Veränderungen in der Biotransformation bzw. mit einer Hochregulation co-stimulatorischer Faktoren (z.B. Zytokine oder Alarmsignale) einhergeht. Die Kombination einer einwöchigen therapeutisch dosierten Dcl-Behandlung mit einer einmaligen LPS-Dosis erzeugte in den Tieren eine ausgeprägte Hepatotoxizität, die mit erhöhten Aktivitäten der Aminotransferasen im Serum einherging. Diese adversen Effekte konnten jedoch nicht durch LPS oder Dcl alleine, bzw. in Kombination mit PIC oder BSO erzeugt werden. Es besteht die Annahme, dass die Bioaktivierung von Diclofenac zu 5-OH-Dcl oder Dcl-Acylglucuronid (AG) sowie die folgende Bildung kovalenter Proteinaddukte zur Entwicklung von Lebertoxizität beiträgt. Mittels LC-MS/MS-Messungen konnten wir jedoch nachweisen, dass die Gabe von LPS + Dcl keine erhöhte Bildung reaktiver Metaboliten oder Dcl-AG-abhängiger Proteinaddukte auslöst. Im Einklang damit wurden Enzyme, die für die Bio-aktivierung von Dcl zu reaktiven Metaboliten verantwortlich sind (z.B. Cyp2C11, Cyp2C7 und UGT2B1), sowie die MRP-Effluxtransporter der Leber durch die Co-Behandlung mit LPS in ihrer Genexpression gehemmt. Zusätzliche qRT-PCR-Analysen Nrf2-abhängiger Gene, als Sensor für elektrophilen oder oxidativen Stress, zeigten keine Hochregulation zytoprotektiver Faktoren und unterstützen die Schlussfolgerung, dass Arzneistoff-unabhängige Stress-faktoren keine erhöhte Bildung toxischer Dcl-Metaboliten auslösen. Schließlich ergaben unsere Analysen, dass eine Aktivierung co-stimulatorischer NFκB- und MAPK-Signalwege mit Hochregulation co-stimulatorischer Faktoren (z.B. IL-1β, TNF-α, CINC-1, iNOS) und Akkumulation neutrophiler Granulozyten in der Leber sowohl durch Behandlung mit LPS + Dcl als auch mit PIC + Dcl induziert wurde. Nur die Kombination von LPS und Diclofenac bewirkte jedoch darüber hinaus eine massive Freisetzung pro-inflammatorischer Zytokine, Chemokine sowie toxizitätsfördernder Alarmsignale (z.B. IL-1β, TNF-α, CINC-1, HMGB1, LTB4) ins Plasma. Zusätzlich waren schützende negative Feed-back-Mechanismen, wie die Hitzeschockreaktion, in den mit LPS und Dcl behandelten Tieren gehemmt. Zusammenfassend zeigen unsere Ergebnisse, dass eine metabolische Aktivierung von Dcl bzw. eine Akkumulation reaktiver Dcl-Metaboliten an der Entwicklung idiosynkratischer Leberschädigung nicht ausschlaggebend beteiligt ist. Im Gegensatz zu PIC oder BSO führte in den verabreichten Dosen nur die Gabe von LPS als Stressfaktor zu einer Aktivierung co-stimulatorischer Signalwege sowie zu einer Hemmung protektiver Systeme, wodurch die leberschädigende Wirkung von Dcl potenziert wurde.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common pathogen that causes various infections, such as sepsis and meningitis. A major pathogenic factor of S. pneumoniae is the cholesterol-dependent cytolysin, pneumolysin. It produces cell lysis at high concentrations and apoptosis at lower concentrations. We have shown that sublytic amounts of pneumolysin induce small GTPase-dependent actin cytoskeleton reorganization and microtubule stabilization in human neuroblastoma cells that are manifested by cell retraction and changes in cell shape. In this study, we utilized a live imaging approach to analyze the role of pneumolysin’s pore-forming capacity in the actin-dependent cell shape changes in primary astrocytes. After the initial challenge with the wild-type toxin, a permeabilized cell population was rapidly established within 20–40 minutes. After the initial rapid permeabilization, the size of the permeabilized population remained unchanged and reached a plateau. Thus, we analyzed the non-permeabilized (non-lytic) population, which demonstrated retraction and shape changes that were inhibited by actin depolymerization. Despite the non-lytic nature of pneumolysin treatment, the toxin’s lytic capacity remained critical for the initiation of cell shape changes. The non-lytic pneumolysin mutants W433F-pneumolysin and delta6-pneumolysin, which bind the cell membrane with affinities similar to that of the wild-type toxin, were not able to induce shape changes. The initiation of cell shape changes and cell retraction by the wild-type toxin were independent of calcium and sodium influx and membrane depolarization, which are known to occur following cellular challenge and suggested to result from the ion channel-like properties of the pneumolysin pores. Excluding the major pore-related phenomena as the initiation mechanism of cell shape changes, the existence of a more complex relationship between the pore-forming capacity of pneumolysin and the actin cytoskeleton reorganization is suggested.
RKIP reguliert Proteinkinasen der Signaltransduktionskaskaden von G Protein-gekoppelten Rezeptoren, der Raf/MEK/ERK-MAPK, des Transkriptionsfaktors NFκB und von GSK3β. Unklar war bisher, wie die spezifische Interaktion von RKIP mit seinen mannigfaltigen Interaktionspartnern ermöglicht und reguliert wird. Raf1 und GRK2 sind die einzigen bekannten direkten Interaktionspartner von RKIP und wurden deshalb gewählt, um die zugrundeliegenden molekularen Mechanismen dieser Interaktion genauer zu untersuchen. In dieser Arbeit wurde gezeigt, dass RKIP nach PKC-vermittelter Phosphorylierung von Serin153 dimerisiert und dass diese Dimerisierung für die RKIP/Raf1-Dissoziation und die RKIP/GRK2-Interaktion essentiell ist. Co-Immunpräzipitationsexperimente mit einer phosphorylierungsdefizienten Mutante zeigten, dass für diese Dimerisierung die Phosphorylierung von beiden RKIP-Molekülen notwendig ist. Als Dimerinteraktionsfläche wurden die Aminosäuren 127-146 von RKIP identifiziert, da das Peptid RKIP127-146 die Dimerisierung von RKIP spezifisch und effizient hemmte. Um die Bedeutung dieser phosphorylierungsinduzierten Dimerisierung von RKIP für seine Interaktion mit Raf1 und GRK2 zu untersuchen, wurden eine phosphomimetische Mutante (RKIPSK153/7EE) und eine Mutante von RKIP generiert, welche bereits unphosphoryliert dimerisiert (RKIP∆143-6). Folgende Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass die Dimerisierung von RKIP für die spezifische Interaktion mit Raf1 bzw. GRK2 entscheidend ist: (i) Die Dimerisierung von phosphoryliertem RKIP ging mit der Dissoziation von RKIP und Raf1 und der Assoziation von RKIP und GRK2 einher; (ii) die Mutanten RKIPSK153/7EE und RKIP∆143-6, die bereits in unstimulierten Zellen eine starke Dimerisierung zeigten, hatten eine höhere Affinität zu GRK2 als zu Raf1; (iii) die Hemmung der RKIP-Dimerisierung interferierte nur mit der RKIP/GKR2- aber nicht mit der RKIP/Raf1-Interaktion; (iv) in vitro und in Mausherzen konnte ein RKIP- und GRK2-immunreaktiver Komplex nachgewiesen werden; (v) Untersuchungen zur RKIP-vermittelten Hemmung der Kinaseaktivität von GRK2 und Raf implizierten, dass dimerisiertes RKIP nur die Aktivität von GRK2, nicht aber von Raf hemmt. Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass die phosphorylierungsinduzierte Dimerisierung von RKIP die spezifische Interaktion von RKIP mit Raf1 und GRK2 koordiniert. Die Aufklärung dieses Mechanismus erweitert unser Verständnis der spezifischen Interaktion von Kinasen mit ihren Regulatorproteinen.
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), whether on conservative, peritoneal or hemodialysis therapy, have elevated genomic damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes and an increased cancer incidence, especially of the kidney. The damage is possibly due to accumulation of uremic toxins like advanced glycation endproducts or homocysteine. However, other endogenous substances with genotoxic properties, which are increased in ESRD, could be involved, such as the blood pressure regulating hormones angiotensin II and aldosterone or the inflammatory cytokine TNF-. This review provides an overview of genomic damage observed in ESRD patients, focuses on possible underlying causes and shows modulations of the damage by modern dialysis strategies and vitamin upplementation.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death all over the world. Malnutrition and toxic contaminations of food with substances such as mycotoxins have been thought to account for a high percentage of cancers. However, human diet can deliver both mutagens and components that decrease the cancer risk. Genomic damage could be reduced by food components through different mechanisms such as scavenging of reactive oxygen species. In the first part of this study we tried to investigate the effects of patulin and resveratrol on DNA stability in V79 cells. Patulin is a mycotoxin, which is frequently found in spoiled apples and other fruits. The WHO has established a safety level of 50 µg/L, which is indeed not observed by all manufacturers. The acute toxicity of patulin in high concentrations is well known, however its potential carcinogenicity is still a matter of debate. Therefore we wanted to investigate further steps in the mechanism of patulin-induced genotoxicity. Patulin caused the formation of micronuclei and nucleoplasmic bridges in a dose-dependent manner. Further analysis revealed that patulin induced both kinetochore-negative and positive micronuclei. Time course of incubation indicate a new mechanism for patulin-induced nucleoplasmic bridge formation. We hypothized a mechanism via cross-linking of DNA, which was confirmed by a modified version of comet assay. Incubations of cells with patulin led to an increased number of multinucleated cells and multipolar mitoses. Cell cytometry revealed a G2 arrest by patulin, which might explain the amplification of centrosomes and patulin-induced aneuploidy. Patulin cause a dose-dependent DNA damage in comet assay which was influenced by the cellular GSH content. However, an induction of oxidative stress was just seen with higher concentrations of patulin. Levels of cellular glutathione were increased after 24 h incubation indicating an adaptive response to patulin-induced stress. There is growing interest in polyphenols such as resveratrol which have shown many positive effects on human health. The beneficial properties are partially attributed to their ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species. Co-incubation of V79 cells with patulin and 10 µM of the antioxidant resveratrol led to a slight reduction of micronucleus frequency compared to cells which were just treated with patulin. However, in higher concentrations resveratrol themselves caused the formation of micronuclei in V79 cells. Kinetochore analysis indicated only clastogenic properties for resveratrol but no disturbance of mitosis. The antioxidant properties of resveratrol were shown in ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. However, in cellular system resveratrol in higher concentrations revealed also prooxidative properties, as shown in 2,7-dichlordihydrofluorescein (DCF) assay. The increased level of glutathione after resveratrol treatment might reflect an adaptive response to resveratrol-induced oxidative stress. For the second part of this thesis we investigated the effects of an anthocyanin-rich grape extract on hypertensive Ren-2 rats. Ren-2 rats are an accepted genetically modified rat model for the investigation of hypertension and increased oxidative stress. We divided 23 female Ren-2 rats into three groups. One group was fed with an anthocyanin-rich Dacapo grape extract, one group was treated with the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor ramipril and the third group was kept without medication during the experiment. After one week untreated group showed a clear increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to the ramipril treated rats. This was in part attenuated in the animals fed with anthocyanin-rich Dacapo grape extract. Effects on blood pressure were also reflected in an increased thirst of untreated and extract fed animals. Comet assay with cells of kidney and liver revealed a slight protective impact of Dacapo extract on DNA damage compared to the other groups. Similar results were obtained after evaluation of ɣ-H2AX-staining of kidney and heart sections. However, in the small intestine oppositional effects were seen, indicating an increased number of double strand breaks probably due to the high local concentration of polyphenols after oral ingestion. Antioxidative properties of the extract were shown in FRAP assay. However, this effect was not reflected in an increased antioxidative capacity in serum or a protective impact in the dihydroethidium (DHE) assay. The extract showed protective effects on DNA damage in comet assay and ɣ-H2AX-staining, but was not able to reduce hypertension back to the control level of ramipril treated animals. High local concentrations could also result in an increased damage of the affected tissue. Therefore, the administration of such concentrated compounds should be handled with care.
Zahlreiche experimentelle Befunde lassen vermuten, dass G-Protein gekoppelte Rezeptoren (GPCR) nach ihrer Aktivierung einer ligandenselektiven Änderung der Rezeptorkonformation unterliegen. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es dieses Phänomen am Subtyp 2 der muskarinischen Acetylcholinrezeptoren (M2 AChR) zu untersuchen. Muskarinische Acetylcholinrezeptoren (mAChR) können in fünf Subtypen (M1-M5) unterschieden werden. Durch die Beteiligung der mAChR an zahlreichen physiologischen Prozessen stellen sie wichtige Zielstrukturen pharmakologischer Therapien dar. Da die orthosterische Ligandenbindestelle (= Bindestelle des endogenen Liganden) in allen fünf Subtypen hoch konserviert ist, wird ihr pharmakologischer Nutzen derzeit allerdings durch die unselektive Rezeptormodulation und dem damit verbundenen Auftreten unerwünschter Arzneimittelwirkungen stark limitiert. Ein Ansatz zur Erzielung subtypselektiver Effekte besteht in der Verwendung allosterischer Modulatoren. Da die allosterische Bindestelle der mAChR eine geringere Sequenzhomologie aufweist, können so gezielt einzelne Subtypen der mAChR reguliert werden. Der M2 AChR stellt hinsichtlich allosterischer Modulation ein gut charakterisiertes Modellsystem dar. Für ihn wurde bereits eine Vielzahl allosterischer Liganden entwickelt. Auch bitopische Liganden, die sowohl einen allosterischen als auch einen orthosterischen Anteil enthalten, wurden für den M2 AChR bereits beschrieben. Im ersten Teil der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden verschiedene FRET-Sensoren des M2 AChR generiert und charakterisiert. Als FRET-Paar wurden das cyan fluoreszierende Protein (CFP) und der niedermolekulare fluorescein-basierte Fluorophor FlAsH (fluorescein arsenical hairpin binder) gewählt. CFP wurde in den Sensoren am Ende des C-Terminus angefügt. Die zur Markierung mit FlAsH nötige Tetracysteinsequenz wurde in verschiedenen Bereichen der dritten intrazellulären Rezeptorschleife (IL) eingebracht. Die auf diese Weise erstellten Re-zeptorsensoren trugen das Tetracysteinmotiv in der N terminalen (M2i3-N) bzw. in der C terminalen Region (M2i3-C) von IL 3. Die Charakterisierung der Rezeptorsensoren bezüglich Ligandenbindung, Gi-Protein Aktivierung und β-Arrestin2 Translokation ergab keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen M2i3-N, M2i3 C und M2CFP oder Wildtyp M2 AChR. Zunächst wurden sowohl unterschiedliche orthosterische, als auch allosterische Liganden hinsichtlich ihrer mittleren effektiven Konzentration und ihrer maximalen Wirkstärke an den Rezeptorsensoren untersucht. Mit Hilfe von FRET-Messungen konnte ein superago-nistisches Verhalten des orthosterischen Testliganden Iperoxo gezeigt werden. Die Eigenschaften der allosterischen Substanzen wurden durch Messung der Rezeptordeakti-vierungskinetik und des maximalen Hemmeffekts auf einen vorstimulierten Rezeptor charakterisiert. Alle allosterischen Liganden deaktivierten den vorstimulierten M2 AChR mit einer schnelleren Kinetik als Atropin. Die EC50-Werte der unterschiedlichen Substanzen waren unabhängig von der Markierungsposition im verwendeten Rezeptorsensor vergleich-bar. Ausnahmen bildeten die allosterischen Liganden JK 289, JK 338, ½ W84 und EHW 477, die liganden- und sensorabhängig unterschiedliche mittlere effektive Konzentrationen aufwie-sen. Bei der Untersuchung der Konformationsänderung des M2 AChR konnte kein liganden-selektiver Unterschied zwischen den FRET-Signalen für 19 getestete orthosterische Liganden beobachtet werden. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass alle orthosterischen Testliganden eine dem Acetylcholin (ACh) vergleichbare Änderung der M2 AChR Konformation induzier-ten. Um zu untersuchen, ob für die orthosterischen Testliganden eine Korrelation zwischen ihrer maximalen Wirkstärke hinsichtlich Rezeptoraktivierung in FRET-Experimenten und der Aktivierung nachgeschalteter Signalwege besteht, wurde die orthosterisch-vermittelte Translokation von β-Arrestin2 mit Hilfe der Konfokalmikroskopie bestimmt. Bis auf 5-Methyl-furmethiodid translozierten alle orthosterischen Liganden β-Arrestin2 in einem Ausmaß, das mit der maximalen Rezeptoraktivierung vergleichbar war. Dagegen rief 5 Methylfurmethiodid verglichen mit dem endogenen Liganden ACh zwar eine ca. halbmaximale Rezeptorakti-vierung, aber nur eine äußerst geringe β-Arrestin2 Translokation hervor. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wurde der Einfluss verschiedener Allostere auf eine ligandenselektive Konformationsänderung des M2 AChR untersucht. Die allosterischen Liganden JK 337 und Seminaph beeinflussten den M2i3-C Sensor signifikant stärker, als das M2i3-N Konstrukt. Dagegen zeigte EHW 477 eine stärkere Beeinflussung der Rezeptorkon-formation des M2i3-N-, als des M2i3-C Sensors. Dies erlaubt die Vermutung, dass JK 337 und Seminaph eine stärkere Bewegung unterhalb von Transmembrandomäne (TM) 6, als unterhalb von TM 5 hervorriefen. Die Ergebnisse für EHW 477 legen nahe, dass TM 5 eine größere Bewegung eingeht, als TM 6. FRET-basierte Untersuchungen der Einflüsse der allosterischen Testliganden auf nachgeschaltete Signalwege ergaben, dass sowohl die Akti-vierung des Gi Proteins, als auch die β-Arrestin2 Translokation selektiv durch einzelne allosterische Liganden beeinflusst werden. Auch ein Zusammenhang zwischen Rezeptor-aktivierung und der Regulation nachgeschalteter Signalwege war erkennbar. Allerdings waren auf Grund der Versuchsbedingungen keine quantitativen Aussagen möglich. Im Folgenden wurden die bitopischen Liganden Hybrid 1 und 2 (H 1, H 2) hinsichtlich ihres Effekts auf die Konformationsänderung des M2 AChR untersucht. Während eine Stimulation mit H 1 vergleichbare FRET-Signale an beiden Sensoren ergab, konnte mit H 2 weder am M2i3-N-, noch an M2i3-C Sensor eine FRET-Änderung detektiert werden. Um den mangeln-den Effekt der Hybridsubstanzen in FRET-mikroskopischen Untersuchungen aufzuklären, wurden verschiedene Ansätze gewählt: Mit kettenverlängerten Derivaten der Hybridsubstanzen konnte in FRET-Messungen eine Änderung des FRET-Signals detektiert werden. Die Entfernung des allosterischen Bausteins führte in FRET-Experimenten zu einer verglichen mit dem endogenen Liganden ACh etwa halbmaximalen Aktivierung beider Sensoren. Dagegen resultierte die Mutation der alloste-rischen Bindestelle in nachfolgenden FRET-Untersuchungen mit H 1 und H 2 in keiner Signaländerung des FRET-Ratio. Diese Beobachtungen führten zu der Annahme, dass die Linkerkette, die orthosterischen und allosterischen Baustein der Hybride miteinander verbindet, zu kurz war um eine gleichzeitige Bindung an die allosterische und orthosterische Bindestelle zu ermöglichen. Ein anderer Erklärungsansatz besteht darin, dass nach Bindung des Orthosters der Kanal zwischen orthosterischer und allosterischer Bindestelle durch die Konformationsänderung des Rezeptors verschlossen wird, weshalb keine dauerhafte, dualsterische Bindung der Hybridsubstanzen an den M2 AChR möglich ist. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es gelungen mittels FRET-Experimenten die Existenz einer ligandenselektiven Rezeptorkonformation des M2 AChR mit allosterischen Liganden nachzuweisen. Darüber hinaus konnte auch ein Bezug zum Auftreten einer funktionellen Selektivität mit allosterischen Liganden hergestellt werden. Die Untersuchung von 19 orthosterischen Liganden hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf die Rezeptorkonformation des M2 AChR ergab keinen Hinweis auf eine ligandenselektive Konformationsänderung. Die Betrachtung der orthosterisch-vermittelten Translokation von β-Arrestin2 zeigte, dass zwischen der Effizienz der orthosterischen Testliganden, den M2 AChR zu aktivieren und dem Ausmaß, in dem sie eine β Arrestin2 Translokation induzierten eine direkte Korrelation besteht. Lediglich 5-Methylfurmethiodid rief eine ungleich geringere β-Arrestin2 Translokation hervor, verglichen mit dem Ausmaß an Rezeptoraktivierung. Diese Beobachtung deutet auf die Existenz eines signaling-bias für diesen Liganden hin. Die Untersuchung der dualsterischen Liganden H 1 und 2 bezüglich ihrer Fähigkeit zur Rezeptoraktivierung ergab, dass erst durch eine Verlängerung der Linkerkette, durch die orthosterischer und alloste-rischer Baustein miteinander verbunden sind eine Konformationsänderung des M2 AChR hin zu einer aktiven Konformation erreicht werden kann. Es kann somit angenommen werden, dass in den ursprünglichen Hybridsubstanzen H 1 und H 2 eine zu kurze Linkerkette, durch die keine dualsterische Bindung der Hybride an die allosterische und orthosterische Bindestelle möglich ist, ursächlich für die mangelnde Rezeptoraktivierung des M2 AChR war.

Two forms of a DNA polymerase have been purified from microplasmodia of Physarum polycephalum by poly(ethyleneimine) precipitation and chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, phosphocellulose, heparin Sepharose, hydroxyapatite, DNA-agarose, blue-Sepharose. They were separated from DNA polymerase cx on phosphocellulose and from each other on heparin-Sepharose. Form HS1 enzymewas 30-40% pure and form HS2 enzyme 60% with regard toprotein contents of the preparations. Form HS2 enzymewas generated from form HS1 enzyme on prolonged standing of enzyme preparations. The DNA polymerases were obtained as complexes of a 60-kDa protein associated with either a 135-kDa (HS1) or a 110-kDa (HS2) DNA-polymerizing polypeptidein a 1:1 molar stoichiometry. The biochemical function of the 60-kDa protein remained unknown. The complexes tended to dissociate during gradient centrifugation and during partition chromatography as weil as during polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis under nondenaturing conditions at high dilutions of samples. Both forms existed in plasmodia extracts, their proportions depending on several factors including those which promoted proteolysis. The DNA polymerases resembled eucaryotic DNA polymerase ß by several criteria and were functionally indistinguishable from each other. It is suggested that lower eucaryotes contain repair DNA polymerases, which are similar to those of eubacteria on a molecular mass basis.
Mouse L-cells were transfected by electropenneabilization using the selectable plasmid pSV2-neo which confers resistance to G-418 (Geneticin). 1be DNA concentration used was 1 l'gfml, the field strength was 10 kV fcm, the duration of the pulse was S ~s. Transfeetion yield was optimal at a temperature of 4°C when using a time in between consecutive pulses of 1 minute compared to shorter (of the order of seoonds) or Ionger (3 minutes) time intervals. A more detailed study of the relationship between the number of pulses applied (up to 10) and transfection yield showed it to be almost linear in this range at 4 o C. The yield of transfectants in response to 10 pulses was up to 1000 per 106 cells (using 3.3 pg DNA per cell). The inßuence of the growth phase of the cells on the transfection yield and I or the subpopulation of the mouse L--ceU line used was shown. Furthennore the clone yield depended on the DNA per ceU ratio within a very small range.
Increased efficiency of transfection of murine hybridoma cells with DNA by electropermeabilization
(1988)
Dispase-treated murine hybridoma cells (SP2/0-Ag14) were transfected with the G418 resistance gene bearing plasmid pSV2-neo by electropermeabilization with a high degree of efficiency. The cells were subjected to intermittent multiple high-voltage short duration (5 p.s) DC pulses at intervals of 1 min in a weakly conducting medium followed by selection in G418-containing medium. The transfection medium, temperature, pulse duration, and voltage were empirically determined by preliminary electropermeabilization experiments. Increasing the number of pulses resulted in a higher percentage of transfected cells, but a decrease in the number of viable cells, with the optimal transfectant yield resulting when five pulses of 10 kV jcm were administered. This method allows the rapid and efficient injection of DNA into mammalian cells, and permits the rapid production of stable, drug resistant hybridoma celllines for use in subsequent fusion experiments.
Neoplastic cell transfonnation induced by estrogens and some other carcinogen& such as benzene appears to involve the induction of mitotic aneuploidy rather than DNA damage and point mutations. As metabolic activation may also play an important roJe in the mechanism of carcinogenesis of these nongenotoxic compounds, we have studied the Interaction of reactive quinone metabolites of various estrogens and of benzene with the major microtubular protein, tubulin, in a cell-free system. Covalent binding of the radioactively labeled metabolites to the a- and 13-subunit of tubulin was found to depend on the structure of the metabolite. When the adducted tubulins were tested in vitro for their ability to polymerize to microtubules, Inhibition of microtubule assembly was obsened in every case, although to varying extents. It is proposed that the fonnation of covalent tubulin adducts may impair the formation of mitotic spindies and thus contribute to chromosomal nondisjunction and aneuploidy induction.
In addition to hormonal activity, genetic darnage has been proposed as an important factor in oestrogen-mediated carcinogenesis. However, as short-term tests for oestrogens usually fail to show DNA mutations, lesions other than dassie nuclear DNA mutation have to be considered. Oestrogeninduced mitochondrial darnage was studied in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Stilbene-type, but not steroidal, oestrogens were found to induce respiration-dcficient petite mutation. The effect was inversely correlated with cytotoxicity and required aromatic hydroxyl groups at the stilbene molecule. It only occurred under growth conditions and apparently was not due to the A TPase inhibitory qualities of stilbene oestrogens. Other studies have shown that petite mutation clones, which can be induced by a variety of substances, contain altered mitochondrial DNA. The mechanism of petite mutation induction might be important in tumorigenesis by also acting on nuclear DNA or facilitating carcinogenesis by disturbance of mitochondrial function.
Streptococcus pneumoniae (Pneumococcus) is one of the leading causes of childhood meningitis,pneumonia and sepsis. Despite the availability of childhood vaccination programs and antimicrobial agents, childhood pneumococcal meningitis is still a devastating illness with mortality rates among the highest of any cause of bacterial meningitis. Especially in low-income countries, where medical care is less accessible, mortality rates up to 50 % have been reported. In surviving patients, neurological sequelae, including hearing loss, focal neurological deficits and cognitive impairment, is reported in 30 to 50 %. Growing resistance of pneumococci towards conventional antibiotics emphasize the need for effective therapies and development of effective vaccines against Streptococcus pneumoniae. One major virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae is the protein toxin Pneumolysin (PLY). PLY belongs to a family of structurally related toxins, the so-called cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs). Pneumolysin is produced by almost all clinical isolates of the bacterium. It is expressed during the late log phase of bacterial growth and gets released mainly through spontaneous autolysis of the bacterial cell. After binding to cholesterol in the host cell membranes, oligomerization of up to 50 toxin monomers and rearrangement of the protein structure, PLY forms large pores, leading to cell lysis in higher toxin concentrations. At sub-lytic concentrations, however, PLY mediates several other effects, such as activation of the classic complement pathway and the induction of apoptosis. First experiments with pneumococcal strains, deficient in pneumolysin, showed a reduced virulence of the organism, which emphasizes the contribution of this toxin to the course of bacterial meningitis and the urgent need for the understanding of the multiple mechanisms leading to invasive pneumococcal disease. The aim of this thesis was to shed light on the contribution of pneumolysin to the course of the disease as well as to the mental illness patients are suffering from after recovery from pneumococcal meningitis. Therefore, we firstly investigated the effects of sub-lytic pneumolysin concentrations onto primary mouse neurons, transfected with a GFP construct and imaged with the help of laser scanning confocal microscopy. We discovered two major morphological changes in the dendrites of primary mouse neurons: The formation of focal swellings along the dendrites (so-called varicosities) and the reduction of dendritic spines. To study these effects in a more complex system, closer to the in vivo situation, we established a reproducible method for acute brain slice culturing. With the help of this culturing method, we were able to discover the same morphological changes in dendrites upon challenge with sub-lytic concentrations of pneumolysin. We were able to reverse the seen alterations in dendritic structure with the help of two antagonists of the NMDA receptor, connecting the toxin´s mode of action to a non-physiological stimulation of this subtype of glutamate receptors. The loss of dendritic spines (representing the postsynapse) in our brain slice model could be verified with the help of brain slices from adult mice, suffering from pneumococcal meningitis. By immunohistochemical staining with an antibody against synapsin I, serving as a presynaptic marker, we were able to identify a reduction of synapsin I in the cortex of mice, infected with a pneumococcal strain which is capable of producing pneumolysin. The reduction of synapsin I was higher in these brain slices compared to mice infected with a pneumococcal strain which is not capable of producing pneumolysin, illustrating a clear role for the toxin in the reduction of dendritic spines. The fact that the seen effects weren´t abolished under calcium free conditions clarifies that not only the influx of calcium through the pneumolysin-pore is responsible for the alterations. These findings were further supported by calcium imaging experiments, where an inhibitor of the NMDA receptor was capable of delaying the time point, when the maximum of calcium influx upon PLY challenge was reached. Additionally, we were able to observe the dendritic beadings with the help of immunohistochemistry with an antibody against MAP2, a neuron-specific cytoskeletal protein. These observations also connect pneumolysin´s mode of action to excitotoxicity, as several studies mention the aggregation of MAP2 in dendritic beadings in response to excitotoxic stimuli. All in all, this is the first study connecting pneumolysin to excitotoxic events, which might be a novel chance to tie in other options of treatment for patients suffering from pneumococcal meningitis.
The ~fthetic oes~rog~n diethylsti~boestrol (DES) causes a dose-dependent elevation of the cytoplasuuc Ca concentratton m C6 rat ghoma cells. This Ca2+ rise is caused neither by Ca2+ influx nor ~-r release from the ~a2 + stores of the endoplasmic reticulum. Therefore it seems likely that DES mob!hzes Ca2+ from a nutochondrial source. The DES-induced Ca2+ signal is remarkably similar to the one mduced by the. tumou~ promotor ~hapsigargin. As this compound causes leakage of calcium from the endoplasmt~ rettculum tt ~ms posstble that DES induces a similar leakage from mitochondrial Ca2+ stores. It remaans to be estabhshed whether the DES-mediated rise in intracellular calcium is causally related to the tumour-promoting properties of this compound
lt is known that 5-azacytidine (5-AC) induces tumors in several organs of rats and mice. The mechanisms of these effects are still poorly understood although it is known that 5-AC can be incorporated into DNA. Furthermore, it can inhibit DNA methylation. The known data on its clastogenic andjor gene mutation-inducing potential are still controversial. Therefore, we have investigated the kinds of genotoxic effects caused by 5-AC in Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) fibroblasts. Three different endp6ints (micronucleus formation, unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) and cell transforrnation) were assayed under similar conditions of metabolism and dose at target in this cell system. 5-AC induces morphological transformation of SHE cells, but not UDS. Therefore, 5-AC does not seem to cause repairable DNA lesions. Furthermore, our studies revealed that 5-AC is a potent inducer of mkronuclei in the SHE system. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that a certain percentage of these contain kinetochores indicating that 5-AC may induce both clastogenic events and numerical chromosome changes.
