Transient up-regulation of P2 receptors influence differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells
(2012)
Exposure to microgravity conditions causes cardiovascular deconditioning in astronauts during spaceflight. Until now, no specific drugs are available for countermeasure, since the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. Endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play key roles in various vascular functions, many of which are regulated by purinergic 2 (P2) receptors. However, their function in ECs and SMCs under microgravity conditions is still unclear. In this study, primary ECs and SMCs were isolated from bovine aorta and verified with specific markers. We show for the first time that the P2 receptor expression pattern is altered in ECs and SMCs after 24 h exposure to simulated microgravity using a clinostat. However, conditioned medium compensates this change in specific P2 receptors, for example, P2X7. Notably, P2 receptors such as P2X7 might be the important players during the paracrine interaction. Additionally, ECs and SMCs secreted different cytokines under simulated microgravity, leading into a pathogenic proliferation and migration. In conclusion, our data indicate P2 receptors might be important players responding to gravity changes in ECs and SMCs. Since some artificial P2 receptor ligands are applied as drugs, it is reasonable to assume that they might be promising candidates against cardiovascular deconditioning in the future.
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are considered a promising cell source for regenerative medicine, because they have the potential to differentiate into a variety of lineages among which the mesoderm-derived lineages such adipo- or osteogenesis are investigated best. Human MSCs can be harvested in reasonable to large amounts from several parts of the patient’s body and due to this possible autologous origin, allorecognition can be avoided. In addition, even in allogenic origin-derived donor cells, hMSCs generate a local immunosuppressive microenvironment, causing only a weak immune reaction. There is an increasing need for bone replacement in patients from all ages, due to a variety of reasons such as a new recreational behavior in young adults or age-related diseases. Adipogenic differentiation is another interesting lineage, because fat tissue is considered to be a major factor triggering atherosclerosis that ultimately leads to cardiovascular diseases, the main cause of death in industrialized countries. However, understanding the differentiation process in detail is obligatory to achieve a tight control of the process for future clinical applications to avoid undesired side effects. In this review, the current findings for adipo- and osteo-differentiation are summarized together with a brief statement on first clinical trials.
Background: Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have shown their multipotential including differentiating towards endothelial and smooth muscle cell lineages, which triggers a new interest for using hMSCs as a putative source for cardiovascular regenerative medicine. Our recent publication has shown for the first time that purinergic 2 receptors are key players during hMSC differentiation towards adipocytes and osteoblasts. Purinergic 2 receptors play an important role in cardiovascular function when they bind to extracellular nucleotides. In this study, the possible functional role of purinergic 2 receptors during MSC endothelial and smooth muscle differentiation was investigated. Methods and Results: Human MSCs were isolated from liposuction materials. Then, endothelial and smooth muscle-like cells were differentiated and characterized by specific markers via Reverse Transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR), Western blot and immunochemical stainings. Interestingly, some purinergic 2 receptor subtypes were found to be differently regulated during these specific lineage commitments: P2Y4 and P2Y14 were involved in the early stage commitment while P2Y1 was the key player in controlling MSC differentiation towards either endothelial or smooth muscle cells. The administration of natural and artificial purinergic 2 receptor agonists and antagonists had a direct influence on these differentiations. Moreover, a feedback loop via exogenous extracellular nucleotides on these particular differentiations was shown by apyrase digest. Conclusions: Purinergic 2 receptors play a crucial role during the differentiation towards endothelial and smooth muscle cell lineages. Some highly selective and potent artificial purinergic 2 ligands can control hMSC differentiation, which might improve the use of adult stem cells in cardiovascular tissue engineering in the future.
During space missions astronauts suffer from cardiovascular deconditioning, when they are exposed to microgravity conditions. Until now, no specific drugs are available for effective countermeasures, since the underlying mechanism is not completely understood. Endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play crucial roles in a variety of cardiovascular functions, many of which are regulated via P2 receptors. However, their function in ECs and SMCs under microgravity condition is still unknown. In this study, ECs and SMCs were isolated from bovine aorta and differentiated from human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), respectively. Subsequently, the cells were verified based on specific markers. An altered P2 receptor expression pattern was detected during the commitment of hMSC towards ECs and SMCs. The administration of natural and artificial P2 receptor agonists and antagonists directly affected the differentiation process. By using EC growth medium as conditioned medium, a vessel cell model was created to culture SMCs and vice versa. Within this study, we were able to show for the first time that the expression of some P2 receptors were altered in ECs and SMCs grown for 24h under simulated microgravity conditions. On the other hand, in some P2 receptor expressions such as P2X7 conditioned medium compensated this change.
In conclusion, our data show that P2 receptors play an important functional role in hMSC differentiation towards ECs and SMCs. Since some P2 receptor artificial ligands are already used as drugs for patients with cardiovascular diseases, it is reasonable to assume that in the future they might be promising candidates for treating cardiovascular deconditioning.
Cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) in combination with dendritic cells (DCs) have shown favorable outcomes in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), yet some patients exhibit recurrence or no response to this therapy. In a broader perspective, enhancing the antitumor response of DC-CIK cells may help to address this issue. Considering this, herein, we investigated the effect of anti-CD40 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies on the antitumor response of DC-CIK cells against RCC cell lines. Our analysis showed that, a) anti-CD40 antibody (G28.5) increased the CD3+CD56+ effector cells of CIK cells by promoting the maturation and activation of DCs, b) G28.5 also increased CTLA-4 expression in CIK cells via DCs, but the increase could be hindered by the CTLA-4 inhibitor (ipilimumab), c) adding ipilimumab was also able to significantly increase the proportion of CD3+CD56+ cells in DC-CIK cells, d) anti-CD40 antibodies predominated over anti-CTLA-4 antibodies for cytotoxicity, apoptotic effect and IFN-g secretion of DC-CIK cells against RCC cells, e) after ipilimumab treatment, the population of Tregs in CIK cells remained unaffected, but ipilimumab combined with G28.5 significantly reduced the expression of CD28 in CIK cells. Taken together, we suggest that the agonistic anti-CD40 antibody rather than CTLA-4 inhibitor may improve the antitumor response of DC-CIK cells, particularly in RCC. In addition, we pointed towards the yet to be known contribution of CD28 in the crosstalk between anti-CTLA-4 and CIK cells.
When the Artemis missions launch, NASA's Orion spacecraft (and crew as of the Artemis II mission) will be exposed to the deep space radiation environment beyond the protection of Earth's magnetosphere. Hence, it is essential to characterize the effects of space radiation, microgravity, and the combination thereof on cells and organisms, i.e., to quantify any correlations between the deep space radiation environment, genetic variation, and induced genetic changes in cells. To address this, the Artemis I mission will include the Peristaltic Laboratory for Automated Science with Multigenerations (PLASM) hardware containing the Deep Space Radiation Genomics (DSRG) experiment. The scientific aims of DSRG are (i) to identify the metabolic and genomic pathways in yeast affected by microgravity, space radiation, and their combination, and (ii) to differentiate between gravity and radiation exposure on single-gene deletion/overexpressing strains' ability to thrive in the spaceflight environment. Yeast is used as a model system because 70% of its essential genes have a human homolog, and over half of these homologs can functionally replace their human counterpart. As part of the experiment preparation towards spaceflight, an Experiment Verification Test (EVT) was performed at the Kennedy Space Center to verify that the experiment design, hardware, and approach to automated operations will enable achieving the scientific aims. For the EVT, fluidic systems were assembled, sterilized, loaded, and acceptance-tested, and subsequently integrated with the engineering parts to produce a flight-like PLASM unit. Each fluidic system consisted of (i) a Media Bag, (ii) four Culture Bags loaded with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (two with deletion series and the remaining two with overexpression series), and (iii) tubing and check valves. The EVT PLASM unit was put under a temperature profile replicating the anticipated different phases of flight, including handover to launch, spaceflight, and splashdown to handover back to the science team, for a 58-day period. At EVT completion, the rate of activation, cellular growth, RNA integrity, and sample contamination were interrogated. All of the experiment's success criteria were satisfied, encouraging our efforts to perform this investigation on Artemis I. This manuscript thus describes the process of spaceflight experiment design maturation with a focus on the EVT, its results, DSRG's preparation for its planned launch on Artemis I in 2022, and how the PLASM hardware can enable other scientific goals on future Artemis missions and/or the Lunar Orbital Platform – Gateway.
Extremophiles are optimal models in experimentally addressing questions about the effects of cosmic radiation on biological systems. The resistance to high charge energy (HZE) particles, and helium (He) ions and iron (Fe) ions (LET at 2.2 and 200 keV/µm, respectively, until 1000 Gy), of spores from two thermophiles, Bacillushorneckiae SBP3 and Bacilluslicheniformis T14, and two psychrotolerants, Bacillus sp. A34 and A43, was investigated. Spores survived He irradiation better, whereas they were more sensitive to Fe irradiation (until 500 Gy), with spores from thermophiles being more resistant to irradiations than psychrotolerants. The survived spores showed different germination kinetics, depending on the type/dose of irradiation and the germinant used. After exposure to He 1000 Gy, D-glucose increased the lag time of thermophilic spores and induced germination of psychrotolerants, whereas L-alanine and L-valine increased the germination efficiency, except alanine for A43. FTIR spectra showed important modifications to the structural components of spores after Fe irradiation at 250 Gy, which could explain the block in spore germination, whereas minor changes were observed after He radiation that could be related to the increased permeability of the inner membranes and alterations of receptor complex structures. Our results give new insights on HZE resistance of extremophiles that are useful in different contexts, including astrobiology.
Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells are an ex vivo expanded heterogeneous cell population with an enriched NK-T phenotype (CD3+CD56+). Due to the convenient and relatively inexpensive expansion capability, together with low incidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD) in allogeneic cancer patients, CIK cells are a promising candidate for immunotherapy. It is well known that natural killer group 2D (NKG2D) plays an important role in CIK cell-mediated antitumor activity; however, it remains unclear whether its engagement alone is sufficient or if it requires additional co-stimulatory signals to activate the CIK cells. Likewise, the role of 2B4 has not yet been identified in CIK cells. Herein, we investigated the individual and cumulative contribution of NKG2D and 2B4 in the activation of CIK cells. Our analysis suggests that (a) NKG2D (not 2B4) is implicated in CIK cell (especially CD3+CD56+ subset)-mediated cytotoxicity, IFN-γ secretion, E/T conjugate formation, and degranulation; (b) NKG2D alone is adequate enough to induce degranulation, IFN-γ secretion, and LFA-1 activation in CIK cells, while 2B4 only provides limited synergy with NKG2D (e.g., in LFA-1 activation); and (c) NKG2D was unable to costimulate CD3. Collectively, we conclude that NKG2D engagement alone suffices to activate CIK cells, thereby strengthening the idea that targeting the NKG2D axis is a promising approach to improve CIK cell therapy for cancer patients. Furthermore, CIK cells exhibit similarities to classical invariant natural killer (iNKT) cells with deficiencies in 2B4 stimulation and in the costimulation of CD3 with NKG2D. In addition, based on the current data, the divergence in receptor function between CIK cells and NK (or T) cells can be assumed, pointing to the possibility that molecular modifications (e.g., using chimeric antigen receptor technology) on CIK cells may need to be customized and optimized to maximize their functional potential.
Healing of large bone defects requires implants or scaffolds that provide structural guidance for cell growth, differentiation, and vascularization. In the present work, an agarose-hydroxyapatite composite scaffold was developed that acts not only as a 3D matrix, but also as a release system. Hydroxyapatite (HA) was incorporated into the agarose gels in situ in various ratios by a simple procedure consisting of precipitation, cooling, washing, and drying. The resulting gels were characterized regarding composition, porosity, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. A pure phase of carbonated HA was identified in the scaffolds, which had pore sizes of up to several hundred micrometers. Mechanical testing revealed elastic moduli of up to 2.8 MPa for lyophilized composites. MTT testing on Lw35human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and osteosarcoma MG-63 cells proved the biocompatibility of the scaffolds. Furthermore, scaffolds were loaded with model drug compounds for guided hMSC differentiation. Different release kinetic models were evaluated for adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) and suramin, and data showed a sustained release behavior over four days.
Recent approaches in scaffold engineering for bone defects feature hybrid hydrogels made of a polymeric network (retains water and provides light and porous structures) and inorganic ceramics (add mechanical strength and improve cell-adhesion). Innovative scaffold materials should also induce bone tissue formation and incorporation of stem cells (osteogenic differentiation) and/or growth factors (inducing/supporting differentiation). Recently, purinergic P2X and P2Y receptors have been found to significantly influence the osteogenic differentiation process of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC). (1) Aim of this work is to develop polysaccharide (PS) composites to be used as scaffolds containing complementary receptor ligands to enable guided stem cell differentiation towards bone formation.
Bone tissue engineering is an ever-changing, rapidly evolving, and highly interdisciplinary field of study, where scientists try to mimic natural bone structure as closely as possible in order to facilitate bone healing. New insights from cell biology, specifically from mesenchymal stem cell differentiation and signaling, lead to new approaches in bone regeneration. Novel scaffold and drug release materials based on polysaccharides gain increasing attention due to their wide availability and good biocompatibility to be used as hydrogels and/or hybrid components for drug release and tissue engineering. This article reviews the current state of the art, recent developments, and future perspectives in polysaccharide-based systems used for bone regeneration.
Renewable resources are gaining increasing interest as a source for environmentally benign biomaterials, such as drug encapsulation/release compounds, and scaffolds for tissue engineering in regenerative medicine. Being the second largest naturally abundant polymer, the interest in lignin valorization for biomedical utilization is rapidly growing. Depending on its resource and isolation procedure, lignin shows specific antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Today, efforts in research and industry are directed toward lignin utilization as a renewable macromolecular building block for the preparation of polymeric drug encapsulation and scaffold materials. Within the last five years, remarkable progress has been made in isolation, functionalization and modification of lignin and lignin-derived compounds. However, the literature so far mainly focuses lignin-derived fuels, lubricants and resins. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current state of the art and to highlight the most important results in the field of lignin-based materials for potential use in biomedicine (reported in 2014⁻2018). Special focus is placed on lignin-derived nanomaterials for drug encapsulation and release as well as lignin hybrid materials used as scaffolds for guided bone regeneration in stem cell-based therapies.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden zunächst neuartige ionische Agarosederivate synthetisiert und anschließend umfassend charakterisiert. Anionische Agarosesulfate mit einer regioselektiven Derivatisierung in Position G6 wurden durch homogene Umsetzung in ionischer Flüssigkeit erhalten. Kationische Agarosecarbamate mit einstellbarem Funktionalisierungsgrad waren durch einen zweistufigen Syntheseansatz zugänglich. Hierzu wurden zunächst Agarosephenylcarbonate in einer homogenen Synthese hergestellt, im Anschluss folgte eine Aminolyse zu den gewünschten funktionalen Agarosederivaten. Die ionischen Agarosederivate waren bereits bei geringen Funktionalisierungsgraden vollständig löslich in Wasser. Damit war es möglich, Alginatmikrokapseln polyelektrolytisch zu beschichten und diese als Träger für eine kontrollierte Wirkstofffreisetzung zu verwenden. Ebenfalls konnten Kompositgele aus Agarose, Hydroxyapatit und Agarosederivaten hergestellt und charakterisiert werden. Im zweiten Teil wurden sowohl die Kompositträgermaterialien als auch die Alginatmikrokapseln mit vier verschiedenen Modellwirkstoffen (ATP, Suramin, Methylenblau und A740003) beladen und die Wirkstofffreisetzung über einen Zeitraum von zwei Wochen untersucht. Für die ionischen Modellwirkstoffe erwiesen sich Kompositträgermaterialien mit ionischem Agarosederivat, die beschichteten Mikrokapseln sowie die Kombination aus Komposit und Kapseln als effektiv, um die Freisetzung auf bis zu 40% zu verlangsamen. Für die schlecht wasserlösliche Substanz A740003, ein Rezeptorligand für die osteogene Differenzierung von Stammzellen, wurde eine stark verzögerte Freisetzung aus Polyelektrolytemikrokapseln festgestellt. Mithilfe von literaturbekannten und neu entwickelten Anpassungsmodellen gelang es, die Diffusion als Hauptmechanismus der Wirkstofffreisetzung zu identifizieren und die Freisetzungskurven mathematisch akkurat zu beschreiben und daraus Rückschlüsse über die einzelnen Phasen der Freisetzung zu ziehen.
Polyether and polyether/ester based TPU (thermoplastic polyurethanes) were investigated with wide-angle XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering). Furthermore, SAXS measurements were performed in the temperature range of 30 °C to 130 °C. Polyether based polymers exhibit only one broad diffraction signal in a region of 2 θ 15° to 25°. In case of polyurethanes with ether/ester modification, the broad diffraction signal arises with small sharp diffraction signals. SAXS measurements of polymers reveal the size and shape of the crystalline zones of the polymer. Between 30 °C and 130 °C the size of the crystalline zone changes significantly. The size decreases in most of investigated TPU. In the case of Desmopan 9365D an increase of the particle size was observed.
Temperature Dependency of Morphological Structure of Thermoplastic Polyurethane using WAXS and SAXS

Polyurethanes achieved an exceptional position among the most important organic polymers due to their highly specific technological application areas. Polyurethanes represent a polyaddition product of isocyanate and diols. In terms of their enormous industrial importance, the chemistry of isocyanates has been extensively studied.
Approximately 45% of global greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the construction and use of buildings. Thermal insulation of buildings in the current context of climate change is a well-known strategy to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. The development of renewable insulation material can overcome the drawbacks of widely used insulation systems based on polystyrene or mineral wool. This study analyzes the sustainability and thermal conductivity of new insulation materials made of Miscanthus x giganteus fibers, foaming agents, and alkali-activated fly ash binder. Life cycle assessments (LCA) are necessary to perform benchmarking of environmental impacts of new formulations of geopolymer-based insulation materials. The global warming potential (GWP) of the product is primarily determined by the main binder component sodium silicate. Sodium silicate's CO2 emissions depend on local production, transportation, and energy consumption. The results, which have been published during recent years, vary in a wide range from 0.3 kg to 3.3 kg CO2-eq. kg-1. The overall GWP of the insulation system based on Miscanthus fibers, with properties according to current thermal insulation regulations, reaches up to 95% savings of CO2 emissions compared to conventional systems. Carbon neutrality can be achieved through formulations containing raw materials with carbon dioxide emissions and renewable materials with negative GWP, thus balancing CO2 emissions.

Untersuchungen zum Einfluss von chemischen Aktivatoren und Templaten auf die Zementhydratation
(2018)
Background: the potency of drugs that interfere with glucose metabolism, i.e., glucose transporters (GLUT) and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) was analyzed in neuroendocrine tumor (NET, BON-1, and QPG-1 cells) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC, GLC-2, and GLC-36 cells) tumor cell lines. (2) Methods: the proliferation and survival rate of tumor cells was significantly affected by the GLUT-inhibitors fasentin and WZB1127, as well as by the NAMPT inhibitors GMX1778 and STF-31. (3) Results: none of the NET cell lines that were treated with NAMPT inhibitors could be rescued with nicotinic acid (usage of the Preiss–Handler salvage pathway), although NAPRT expression could be detected in two NET cell lines. We finally analyzed the specificity of GMX1778 and STF-31 in NET cells in glucose uptake experiments. As previously shown for STF-31 in a panel NET-excluding tumor cell lines, both drugs specifically inhibited glucose uptake at higher (50 μM), but not at lower (5 μM) concentrations. (4) Conclusions: our data suggest that GLUT and especially NAMPT inhibitors are potential candidates for the treatment of NET tumors.
In thyroid carcinoma cells, the soluble βgalactosidespecific lectin, galectin3, is extra and intracellularly expressed and plays a significant role in thyroid cancer diagnosis. The functional relevance of this molecule, particularly in its extracellular environment however, warrants further elucidation. To gain insight into this topic, the present study characterized principal functional properties of galectin3 in 3 commonly used thyroid carcinoma cell lines (BCPAP, Cal62 and FTC133) that express the molecule intra and extracellulary. Cellintrinsic galectin3 harbors a functional carbohydrate recognition domain as determined by affinity purification. Moreover, cell surface expressed galectin3 can be partially removed by treatment with lactose or asialofetuin, but not with sucrose. Thyroid carcinoma cells adhere to substratebound galectin3 in a βgalactosidespecific manner, whereby only cell adhesion, but not cell migration is promoted. Thus, thyroid tumor cells harbor functional active galectin3 that, inter alia, specifically interacts with cell surfaceexpressed molecular ligands in a βgalactosidedependent manner, whereby the molecule can at least interfere with cell adhesion. The modulation of galectin3 expression level or its ligands in such tumor cells could be of therapeutic interest and needs further experimental clarification.
After replanting apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) on the same site severe growth suppressions, and a decline in yield and fruit quality are observed in all apple producing areas worldwide. The causes of this complex phenomenon, called apple replant disease (ARD), are only poorly understood up to now which is in part due to inconsistencies in terms and methodologies. Therefore we suggest the following definition for ARD: ARD describes a harmfully disturbed physiological and morphological reaction of apple plants to soils that faced alterations in their (micro-) biome due to the previous apple cultures. The underlying interactions likely have multiple causes that extend beyond common analytical tools in microbial ecology. They are influenced by soil properties, faunal vectors, and trophic cascades, with genotype-specific effects on plant secondary metabolism, particularly phytoalexin biosynthesis. Yet, emerging tools allow to unravel the soil and rhizosphere (micro-) biome, to characterize alterations of habitat quality, and to decipher the plant reactions. Thereby, deep insights into the reactions taking place at the root rhizosphere interface will be gained. Counteractions are suggested, taking into account that culture management should emphasize on improving soil microbial and faunal diversity as well as habitat quality rather than focus on soil disinfection.
Die Detektion von Explosivstoffen stellt ein zentrales Feld der zivilen Sicherheitsforschung dar. Eine besondere Herausforderung liegt hierbei in dem Nachweis verpackter Substanzen, wie es bei Unkonventionellen Spreng- und Brandvorrichtung (USBV) häufig der Fall ist. Derzeit eingesetzte Verfahren arbeiten meist mit bildgebenden Techniken, durch die sich ein Anfangsverdacht ergibt. Der tatsächliche chemische Inhalt der USBV lässt sich jedoch nicht exakt ermitteln. Eine genaue Beurteilung der Gefährdung durch solche Substanzen ist allerdings von großer Bedeutung, insbesondere wenn die Entschärfung des Objekts in bewohntem Gebiet stattfinden muss. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein Verfahren vorgestellt, das sich als Verifikationsverfahren bei bestehendem Anfangsverdacht gezielt einsetzen lässt. Hierzu wird mittels Laserbohrtechnik zunächst die äußere Hülle des zu untersuchenden Gegenstandes durchdrungen. Anschließend finden eine lasergestützte Probenahme des Inhalts sowie die Detektion unter Verwendung geeigneter Analysemöglichkeiten statt. Der Bohr- und Probenahmefortschritt wird über verschiedene spektroskopische und sensorische Verfahren begleitend überwacht. Zukünftig soll das System abstandsfähig auf Entschärfungsrobotern eingesetzt werden.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein neuartiges Verfahren zur Echtzeitüberwachung von Laserbohrprozessen vorgestellt. Die Untersuchungen werden an unterschiedlichen Materialien unter Einsatz eines passiv-gütegeschalteten Nd:YAG Lasers durchgeführt. Prozessbegleitend findet eine Aufzeichnung der akustischen Emissionen mit anschließender Analyse durch schnelle Fourier-Transformation statt. Hierdurch lassen sich der Durchbruch beim Bohren durch ein Material sowie der Materialübergang mehrschichtiger Systeme detektieren. Die akustischen Messungen werden durchAuswertung der Pulsfolge des Lasers mittels einer Fotodiode gestützt. Hierbei zeigt sich eine gute Übereinstimmung der im akustischen Spektrum dominanten Frequenz mit der jeweils im Laserburstauftretenden Pulsfrequenz. Das vorgestellte Verfahren ermöglicht eine Echtzeitüberwachung beim Laserbohren mittels kostengünstiger und einfacher Hardware. Zudem zeichnet es sich im Gegensatz zu bestehenden Verfahren durch eine hohe Robustheit gegen äußere Störeinflüsse aus, da eine frequenzbasierte Auswertung stattfindet.
Gegenstand dieser Arbeit sind Untersuchungen zur Detektion von verpackten Gefahrstoffen wie beispielsweise Explosivstoffen. Hierzu wird in einem ersten Schritt die Verpackung mittels Laserbohrens durchdrungen, um anschließend den nun freiliegenden Gefahrstoff nachweisen zu können. Dies geschieht einerseits durch eine lasergestützte Probenahme und anschließende Detektion mit gängigen chemisch-analytischen Verfahren sowie direkt bei der Wechselwirkung zwischen Laser und Gefahrstoff mittels Ramanspektroskopie. Zudem werden schnelle in situ-Techniken im Hinblick auf ihre Eignung zur Überwachung des Laserbohrprozesses untersucht. Hier werden kostengünstige und kompakte Sensortechniken (Messung der Prozessgase durch Halbleitergassensoren, Messung des Luftschalls mittels Kondensatormikrofon) mit aufwendigeren und komplexeren spektroskopischen Verfahren (Plasma- und Ramanspektroskopie) bewertend verglichen. Anhand ausgewählter Modellsysteme in verkleinertem Maßstab werden die unterschiedlichen Verfahren unter Verwendung gängiger Verpackungs- und Hüllenmaterialien sowie anhand ausgewählter Explosivstoffe charakterisiert. Für das Laserverfahren kommen gepulste Nd:YAG Laser mit unterschiedlichen Emissionswellenlängen zum Einsatz.
Die Diskussion über Nutzen und Risiken der Biound Gentechnik beherrschte die Jahre von 1998 bis 2001. Die „grüne Gentechnik“ kämpfte auch 1997 gegen wachsende Widerstände. Erst als sich im Jahr 2001 die Medien mit der „roten“ Gentechnik befassten, sank der Anteil kritischer Vorbehalte und stieg die Akzeptanz gegenüber gentechnisch herstellten Medikamenten in der Bevölkerung. Die Entschlüsselung der menschlichen Erbanlage und die Diskussion um das Klonen von Menschen sowie die Forschung mit embryonalen Stammzellen führte neue Aspekte in die öffentliche Diskussion ein. Die Debatte findet seither auf allen politischen Ebenen statt. Im Zusammenhang mit der Genforschung werden in den Medien immer häufiger Moral und Ökonomie gegenübergestellt und gegeneinander abgewogen. In diesem Wirrwarr von unterschiedlichen und häufig auch widerstreitenden Interessen ist es nicht einfach, sich zurechtzufinden und schließlich zu einer eigenen Position zu gelangen. Umso wichtiger ist daher eine nüchterne Darstellung der Sachverhalte.
Background: Local injection of autologous conditioned serum (ACS) is a well-known therapy for inflammatory diseases (IDs). While patients’ blood is incubated to generate ACS (with subsequent centrifugation), immune cells produce high amounts of growth factors and cytokines. This include, amongst others, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), interleukins 6 and 10, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1). The aim of this study was to analyse exosomes release into ACS as well as their cytokine cargo.

Recessive mutations in the MPV17 gene cause mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, a fatal infantile genetic liver disease in humans. Loss of function in mice leads to glomerulosclerosis and sensineural deafness accompanied with mitochondrial DNA depletion. Mutations in the yeast homolog Sym1, and in the zebra fish homolog tra cause interesting, but not obviously related phenotypes, although the human gene can complement the yeast Sym1 mutation. The MPV17 protein is a hydrophobic membrane protein of 176 amino acids and unknown function. Initially localised in murine peroxisomes, it was later reported to be a mitochondrial inner membrane protein in humans and in yeast. To resolve this contradiction we tested two new mouse monoclonal antibodies directed against the human MPV17 protein in Western blots and immunohistochemistry on human U2OS cells. One of these monoclonal antibodies showed specific reactivity to a protein of 20 kD absent in MPV17 negative mouse cells. Immunofluorescence studies revealed colocalisation with peroxisomal, endosomal and lysosomal markers, but not with mitochondria. This data reveal a novel connection between a possible peroxisomal/endosomal/lysosomal function and mitochondrial DNA depletion.

The synthesis and characterization of a new class of 1,2,4-oxadiazolylpyridinium as a cationic scaffold for fluorinated ionic liquid crystals is herein described. A series of 12 fluorinated heterocyclic salts based on a 1,2,4-oxadiazole moiety, connected through its C(5) or C(3) to an N-alkylpyridinium unit and a perfluoroheptyl chain, differing in the length of the alkyl chain and counterions, has been synthesized. As counterions iodide, bromide and bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide have been considered. The synthesis, structure, and liquid crystalline properties of these compounds are discussed on the basis of the tuned structural variables. The thermotropic properties of this series of salts have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. The results showed the existence of an enantiotropic mesomorphic smectic liquid crystalline phase for six bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide salts.
Detection of triacetone triperoxide using temperature cycled metal-oxide semiconductor gas sensors
(2015)
In this work, the surface reactions of the homemade explosive triacetone triperoxide on tungsten oxide (WO3) sensor surfaces are studied to obtain detailed information about the chemical reactions taking place. Semiconductor gas sensors based on WO3 nanopowders are therefore produced and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. To analyze the reaction mechanisms at the sensor surface, the sensor is monitored online under operation conditions using Raman spectroscopy, which allows to identify the temperature-dependent sensor reactions. By combining information from the Raman spectra with data on the changing resistivity of the underlying semiconductor, it is possible to establish a correlation between the adsorbed gas species and the physical properties of the WO3 layer. In the results, it is indicated that a Lewis acid–base reaction is the most likely mechanism for the increase in resistance observed at temperatures below 150 °C. In the results, at higher temperatures, the assumption of a radical mechanism that causes a decrease in resistance is supported.
Design and characterization of geopolymer foams reinforced with Miscanthus x giganteus fibers
(2024)
This paper presents the effects of different amounts of fibers and foaming agent, as well as different fiber sizes, on the mechanical and thermal properties of fly ash-based geopolymer foams reinforced with Miscanthus x giganteus fibers. The mechanical properties of the geopolymer foams were measured through compressive strength, and their thermal properties were characterized by thermal conductivity and X-ray micro-computed tomography. Furthermore, design of experiment (DoE) were used to optimize the thermal conductivity and compressive strength of Miscanthus x giganteus reinforced geopolymer foams. In addition, the microstructure was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Mixtures with a low thermal conductivity of 0.056 W (m K)−1 and a porosity of 79 vol% achieved a compressive strength of only 0.02 MPa. In comparison, mixtures with a thermal conductivity of 0.087 W (m K)−1 and a porosity of 58 vol% achieved a compressive strength of 0.45 MPa.
The development of sustainable, environmentally friendly insulation materials with a reduced carbon footprint is attracting increased interest. One alternative to conventional insulation materials are foamed geopolymers. Similar to foamed concrete, the mechanical properties of geopolymer foams can also be improved by using fibers for reinforcement. This paper presents an overview of the latest research findings in the field of fiber-reinforced geopolymer foam concrete with special focus on natural fibers reinforcement. Furthermore, some basic and background information of natural fibers and geopolymer foams are reported. In most of the research, foams are produced either through chemical foaming with hydrogen peroxide or aluminum powder, or through mechanical foaming which includes a foaming agent. However, previous reviews have not sufficiently addresses the fabrication of geopolymer foams by syntactic foams. Finally, recent efforts to reduce the fiber degradation in geopolymer concrete are discussed along with challenges for natural fiber reinforced-geopolymer foam concrete.
Due to increased emissions of palladium nanoparticles in recent years, it is important to develop analytical techniques to characterize these particles. The synthesis of defined and stable particles plays a key role in this process, as there are not many materials commercially available yet which could act as reference materials. Polyvinylpyrrolidone- (PVP-) stabilized palladium nanoparticles were synthesized through the reduction of palladium chloride by tetraethylene glycol (TEG) in the presence of KOH. Four different methods were used for particle size analysis of the palladium nanoparticles. Palladium suspensions were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), single-particle ICP-MS (SP-ICP-MS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Secondary particles between 30 nm and 130 nm were detected in great compliance with SAXS and SP-ICP-MS. SEM analysis showed that the small particulates tend to form agglomerates.
New sustainable, environmentally friendly materials for thermal insulation of buildings are necessary to reduce their carbon footprints. In this study, Miscanthus fiber-reinforced geopolymer composites, foamed with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), were developed using fly ash as a geopolymer precursor. The effects of fiber content, fiber size, curing temperature, foaming agent content, fumed silica specific surface area and fumed silica content on thermal conductivity and compressive strength were evaluated using a Plackett-Burman design of experiment. Furthermore, the microstructure of geopolymer composites was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The measured characteristic values were in the following ranges: Thermal conductivity 0.057 W (m K)−1 to 0.127 W (m K)−1, compressive strength 0.007 MPa–0.719 MPa and porosity 49 vol% to 76 vol%. The results reveal an enhancement of thermal conductivity by elevated fiber size and foaming agent content. In contrast, the compressive strength is enhanced by high fiber content. Additionally, SEM images indicate a good interaction between the fibers and the geopolymer matrix, because nearly the whole fiber surface is covered by the geopolymer.
Untersuchungen zur Hydrophobierung von Miscanthus X giganteus für den Einsatz in Dämmstoffsystemen
(2018)
Sensoren können verschiedene Aufgaben erfüllen, wie beispielsweise die Optimierung von Prozessen, die Interaktion zwischen Geräten oder die Verbesserung der zivilen Sicherheit. [1–3] Ihr Bedarf für die Industrie oder den Alltag wächst seit Jahren stetig. Besonders mobile Gassensoren sind von großem Interesse. Jedoch ist ihre Anwendung meist durch ihre integrierte Batterie begrenzt. Gassensoren ohne oder mit einem nur sehr geringen Energieverbrauch stehen daher im Interesse bei neuen Anwendungsgebieten, beispielsweise im Brandschutz oder in der Textilindustrie. [4,5] Die Sensoren könnten zum Beispiel in die Textilien einer persönlichen Schutzausrüstung eingearbeitet werden und durch einen Farbumschlag die Anwesenheit eines Gases oder die Überschreitung des Grenzwertes toxischer Substanzen anzeigen.
Aim: To understand how transcriptional factors Pdr1 and Pdr3, belonging to the pleiotropic drug resistance system, are activated, and regulated after introducing chemical toxins to the cell in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Methods: Series of molecular methods were applied using different strains of S. cerevisiae over-expressing proteins of interest as a eukaryotic cell model. The chemical stress introduced to the cell is represented by menadione. Results were obtained performing protein detection and analysis. Additionally, the regulation of the DNA binding of the transcriptional activators after stimulation is quantified using chromatin immunoprecipitation, employing epitope-tagged factors and real-time qPCR.
Results: Our results indicated higher expression levels of the Pdr1 transcriptional factor, compared to its homologous Pdr3 after treatment with menadione. The yeast-cell defence system was tested against various organic solvents to exclude the possibility of their presence potentially affecting the results. The results indicate that Pdr1 is most abundant after 30 minutes from the beginning of the treatment, compared with 240 minutes after the treatment when the function of the transcription factor is faded. It appears that Pdr1 binding to the PDR5 and SNQ2 promoters, which are both activated by Pdr1, peaks around the same time, or more precisely after 40 minutes from the start of the treatment.
Conclusion: The tendency of Pdr1 reduction after its activation by menadione is detected. One possibility is that Pdr1, after recognizing the xenobiotic menadione, is removed by a degradation mechanism. Given the fact that Pdr1 directly binds the xenobiotic molecule, its destruction might help the cells to remove toxic levels of menadione. It is possible that overexpressing the part of Pdr1 which recognizes menadione alone was sufficient to detoxify and hence produce a tolerance towards menadione.

Therapeutic Treatments for Osteoporosis-Which Combination of Pills Is the Best among the Bad?
(2022)
Osteoporosis is a chronical, systemic skeletal disorder characterized by an increase in bone resorption, which leads to reduced bone density. The reduction in bone mineral density and therefore low bone mass results in an increased risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is caused by an imbalance in the normally strictly regulated bone homeostasis. This imbalance is caused by overactive bone-resorbing osteoclasts, while bone-synthesizing osteoblasts do not compensate for this. In this review, the mechanism is presented, underlined by in vitro and animal models to investigate this imbalance as well as the current status of clinical trials. Furthermore, new therapeutic strategies for osteoporosis are presented, such as anabolic treatments and catabolic treatments and treatments using biomaterials and biomolecules. Another focus is on new combination therapies with multiple drugs which are currently considered more beneficial for the treatment of osteoporosis than monotherapies. Taken together, this review starts with an overview and ends with the newest approaches for osteoporosis therapies and a future perspective not presented so far.
Das Projekt adressiert ein Problem aus dem Bereich Medizintechnologie (ein NRW-Förderschwerpunkt): die Entwicklung eines für Patienten maßgeschneiderten Gewebeersatzmaterials, ein Knochensurrogat. Kritische (“critical size“) Knochendefekte stellen ein signifikantes Gesundheitsproblem dar, das durch die zurzeit gängigen Knochenersatzmaterialien nicht bzw. nicht effizient therapiert werden kann. Kritische Knochendefekte werden mit artifiziellen Biomaterialien behandelt, die bislang eine unzureichende Regenerationskapazität aufweisen.
Embryonic stem cells (ES) have the potential of long-term viability, selfrenewal and pluripotency which makes them interesting candidates for tissue engineering and gene therapy applications. On the other hand ethical and political issues arise while using theses cells and severe problems such as their tumorgenicity have not been solved yet. In the last couple of month a new source of cells with stem cell character was developed, the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). These cells are derived from differentiated adult cells via transduction of three transcription factors and show features similar to embryonic stem cells. Unfortunately, this includes the tumorgenicity which is even higher in those cells since the transcription factor transduction needed until now, is performed with retrovial vectors, which have a tumor potential on their own. Thus, adult stem cells are investigated extensively as alternative source of self-renewing cells. Human mesenchymal stem cells (HMSCs), which have in addition the advantage of potential autologous transplantation, can be found in various differentiated tissues since they are needed for maintenance and repair. They can be differentiated in chondrogenic, osteogenic, adipogenic and myogenic lineages which makes them an excellent tool for future tissue replacement strategies.
Intimate swabs taken for examination in sexual assault cases typically yield mixtures of sperm and epithelial cell types. While powerful, differential extraction protocols to overcome such cell type mixtures by separate lysis of epithelial cells and spermatozoa can still prove ineffective, in particular if only few sperm cells are present or if swabs contain sperm from more than one individual leading to complex low level DNA mixtures. A means to avoid such mixtures consists in the analysis of single micromanipulated sperm cells. However, the quantity of DNA from single sperm cells is not sufficient for conventional STR analysis. Here, we describe a simple method for micromanipulating individual sperm cells from intimate swabs and show that whole genome amplification can generate sufficient amounts of DNA from single cells for subsequent DNA profiling. We recovered over 80% of alleles of haploid autosomal STR profiles from the majority of individual sperm cells. Furthermore, we demonstrate that in mixtures of sperm from two contributors, Y-STR and X-STR profiles of individual sperm cells can be used to sort the haploid autosomal profiles to develop the diploid consensus STR profiles of the individual donors. Finally, by analysing single sperm cells from mock sexual assault swabs with one or two sperm donors, we showed that our protocols enabled the identification of the unknown male contributors.
