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.
Pitfalls of using sequence databases for heterologous expression studies - a technical review
(2023)
Synthesis of DNA fragments based on gene sequences available in public resources has become an efficient and affordable method that gradually replaced traditional cloning efforts such as PCR cloning from cDNA. However, database entries based on genome sequencing results are prone to errors which can lead to false sequence information and, ultimately, errors in functional characterization of proteins such as ion channels and transporters in heterologous expression systems. We have identified five common problems that repeatedly appear in public resources: 1) Not every gene has yet been annotated; 2) Not all gene annotations are necessarily correct; 3) Transcripts may contain automated corrections; 4) There are mismatches between gene, mRNA, and protein sequences; and 5) Splicing patterns often lack experimental validation. This technical review highlights and provides a strategy to bypass these issues in order to avoid critical mistakes that could impact future studies of any gene/protein of interest in heterologous expression systems. Abstract figure legend Projects involving heterologous gene expression are often characterised by similar steps. Initially, database research (A) is necessary to retrieve information of full of partial sequences of a gene of interest. A multitude of genome assemblies are annotated and deposited in public databases or that are available for refined search options using individual sequence information. The search results need to be scrutinised and compared to already available information (B). Once the sequence has been determined, DNA synthesis (C) by PCR or commercial synthesis are necessary for further cloning procedures (D). Eventually, the DNA needs to be transfected (E) and expressed in, e.g., eukaryotic cells (F). Finally, the expression of the gene of interest needs to be documented and its function analysed (G).

A biodegradable blend of PBAT—poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)—and PLA—poly(lactic acid)—for blown film extrusion was modified with four multi-functional chain extending cross-linkers (CECL). The anisotropic morphology introduced during film blowing affects the degradation processes. Given that two CECL increased the melt flow rate (MFR) of tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphite (V1) and 1,3-phenylenebisoxazoline (V2) and the other two reduced it (aromatic polycarbodiimide (V3) and poly(4,4-dicyclohexylmethanecarbodiimide) (V4)), their compost (bio-)disintegration behavior was investigated. It was significantly altered with respect to the unmodified reference blend (REF). The disintegration behavior at 30 and 60 °C was investigated by determining changes in mass, Young’s moduli, tensile strengths, elongations at break and thermal properties. In order to quantify the disintegration behavior, the hole areas of blown films were evaluated after compost storage at 60 °C to calculate the kinetics of the time dependent degrees of disintegration. The kinetic model of disintegration provides two parameters: initiation time and disintegration time. They quantify the effects of the CECL on the disintegration behavior of the PBAT/PLA compound. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed a pronounced annealing effect during storage in compost at 30 °C, as well as the occurrence of an additional step-like increase in the heat flow at 75 °C after storage at 60 °C. The disintegration consists of processes which affect amorphous and crystalline phase of PBAT in different manner that cannot be understood by a hydrolytic chain degradation only. Furthermore, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) revealed molecular degradation only at 60 °C for the REF and V1 after 7 days of compost storage. The observed losses of mass and cross-sectional area seem to be attributed more to mechanical decay than to molecular degradation for the given compost storage times.
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.
PURPOSE
Cervical cancer (CC) is caused by a persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection. The cervico-vaginal microbiome may influence the development of (pre)cancer lesions. Aim of the study was (i) to evaluate the new CC screening program in Germany for the detection of high-grade CC precursor lesions, and (ii) to elucidate the role of the cervico-vaginal microbiome and its potential impact on cervical dysplasia.
METHODS
The microbiome of 310 patients referred to colposcopy was determined by amplicon sequencing and correlated with clinicopathological parameters.
RESULTS
Most patients were referred for colposcopy due to a positive hrHPV result in two consecutive years combined with a normal PAP smear. In 2.1% of these cases, a CIN III lesion was detected. There was a significant positive association between the PAP stage and Lactobacillus vaginalis colonization and between the severity of CC precursor lesions and Ureaplasma parvum.
CONCLUSION
In our cohort, the new cervical cancer screening program resulted in a low rate of additional CIN III detected. It is questionable whether these cases were only identified earlier with additional HPV testing before the appearance of cytological abnormalities, or the new screening program will truly increase the detection rate of CIN III in the long run. Colonization with U. parvum was associated with histological dysplastic lesions. Whether targeted therapy of this pathogen or optimization of the microbiome prevents dysplasia remains speculative.
Forensic DNA profiles are established by multiplex PCR amplification of a set of highly variable short tandem repeat (STR) loci followed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) as a means to assign alleles to PCR products of differential length. Recently, CE analysis of STR amplicons has been supplemented by high-throughput next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques that are able to detect isoalleles bearing sequence polymorphisms and allow for an improved analysis of degraded DNA. Several such assays have been commercialised and validated for forensic applications. However, these systems are cost-effective only when applied to high numbers of samples. We report here an alternative, cost-efficient shallow-sequence output NGS assay called maSTR assay that, in conjunction with a dedicated bioinformatics pipeline called SNiPSTR, can be implemented with standard NGS instrumentation. In a back-to-back comparison with a CE-based, commercial forensic STR kit, we find that for samples with low DNA content, with mixed DNA from different individuals, or containing PCR inhibitors, the maSTR assay performs equally well, and with degraded DNA is superior to CE-based analysis. Thus, the maSTR assay is a simple, robust and cost-efficient NGS-based STR typing method applicable for human identification in forensic and biomedical contexts.
Isovaleric acidemia (IVA), due to isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase (IVD) deficiency, results in the accumulation of isovaleryl-CoA, isovaleric acid and secondary metabolites. The increase in these metabolites decreases mitochondrial energy production and increases oxidative stress. This contributes to the neuropathological features of IVA. A general assumption in the literature exists that glycine N-acyltransferase (GLYAT) plays a role in alleviating the symptoms experienced by IVA patients through the formation of N-isovalerylglycine. GLYAT forms part of the phase II glycine conjugation pathway in the liver and detoxifies excess acyl-CoA’s namely benzoyl-CoA. However, very few studies support GLYAT as the enzyme that conjugates isovaleryl-CoA to glycine. Furthermore, GLYATL1, a paralogue of GLYAT, conjugates phenylacetyl-CoA to glutamine. Therefore, GLYATL1 might also be a candidate for the formation of N-isovalerylglycine. Based on the findings from the literature review, we proposed that GLYAT or GLYATL1 can form N-isovalerylglycine in IVA patients. To test this hypothesis, we performed an in-silico analysis to determine which enzyme is more likely to conjugate isovaleryl-CoA with glycine using AutoDock Vina. Thereafter, we performed in vitro validation using purified enzyme preparations. The in-silico and in vitro findings suggested that both enzymes could form N-isovaleryglycine albeit at lower affinities than their preferred substrates. Furthermore, an increase in glycine concentration does not result in an increase in N-isovalerylglycine formation. The results from the critical literature appraisal, in-silico, and in vitro validation, suggest the importance of further investigating the reaction kinetics and binding behaviors between these substrates and enzymes in understanding the pathophysiology of IVA.
This research studies in detail four different assays, namely DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)), FRAP (ferric ion reducing antioxidant potential) and FC (Folin-Ciocalteu), to determine the antioxidant capacity of standard substances as well as 50 organosolv lignins, and two kraft lignins. The coefficient of variation was determined for each method and was lowest for ABTS and highest for DPPH. The best correlation was found for FRAP and FC, which both rely on a single electron transfer mechanism. A good correlation between ABTS, FRAP and FC, respectively, could be observed, even though ABTS relies on a more complex reaction mechanism. The DPPH assay merely correlates with the others, implying that it reflects different antioxidative attributes due to a different reaction mechanism. Lignins obtained from paulownia and silphium have been investigated for the first time regarding their antioxidant capacity. Paulownia lignin is in the same range as beech wood lignin, while silphium lignin resembles wheat straw lignin. Miscanthus lignin is an exception from the grass lignins and possesses a significantly higher antioxidant capacity. All lignins possess a good antioxidant capacity and thus are promising candidates for various applications, e. g. as additives in food packaging or for biomedical purposes.
Indoor spaces exhibit microbial compositions that are distinctly dissimilar from one another and from outdoor spaces. Unique in this regard, and a topic that has only recently come into focus, is the microbiome of hospitals. While the benefits of knowing exactly which microorganisms propagate how and where in hospitals are undoubtedly beneficial for preventing hospital-acquired infections, there are, to date, no standardized procedures on how to best study the hospital microbiome. Our study aimed to investigate the microbiome of hospital sanitary facilities, outlining the extent to which hospital microbiome analyses differ according to sample-preparation protocol. For this purpose, fifty samples were collected from two separate hospitals—from three wards and one hospital laboratory—using two different storage media from which DNA was extracted using two different extraction kits and sequenced with two different primer pairs (V1–V2 and V3–V4). There were no observable differences between the sample-preservation media, small differences in detected taxa between the DNA extraction kits (mainly concerning Propionibacteriaceae), and large differences in detected taxa between the two primer pairs V1–V2 and V3–V4. This analysis also showed that microbial occurrences and compositions can vary greatly from toilets to sinks to showers and across wards and hospitals. In surgical wards, patient toilets appeared to be characterized by lower species richness and diversity than staff toilets. Which sampling sites are the best for which assessments should be analyzed in more depth. The fact that the sample processing methods we investigated (apart from the choice of primers) seem to have changed the results only slightly suggests that comparing hospital microbiome studies is a realistic option. The observed differences in species richness and diversity between patient and staff toilets should be further investigated, as these, if confirmed, could be a result of excreted antimicrobials.
The Concordia Research Station provides a unique location for preparatory activities for future human journey to Mars, to explore microbial diversity at subzero temperatures, and monitor the dissemination of human-associated microorganisms within the pristine surrounding environment. Amplicon sequencing was leveraged to investigate the microbial diversity of surface snow samples collected monthly over a two-year period, at three distances from the Station (10, 500, and 1000 m). Even when the extracted total DNA was below the detection limit, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was successfully performed on all samples, while 18S rRNA was amplified on 19 samples out of 51. No significant relationships were observed between microbial diversity and seasonality (summer or winter) or distance from the Concordia base. This suggested that if present, the anthropogenic impact should have been below the detectable limit. While harboring low microbial diversity, the surface snow samples were characterized by heterogeneous microbiomes. Ultimately, our study corroborated the use of DNA sequencing-based techniques for revealing microbial presence in remote and hostile environments, with implications for Planetary Protection during space missions and for life-detection in astrobiology relevant targets.
Thermo-chemical conversion of cucumber peel waste for biobased energy and chemical production
(2022)
The human enzymes GLYAT (glycine N-acyltransferase), GLYATL1 (glutamine N-phenylacetyltransferase) and GLYATL2 (glycine N-acyltransferase-like protein 2) are not only important in the detoxification of xenobiotics via the human liver, but are also involved in the elimination of acyl residues that accumulate in the form of their coenzyme A (coA) esters in some rare inborn errors of metabolism. This concerns, for example, disorders in the degradation of branched-chain amino acids, such as isovaleric acidemia or propionic acidemia. In addition, they also assist in the elimination of ammonium, which is produced during the transamination of amino acids and accumulates in urea cycle defects. Sequence variants of the enzymes have also been investigated, which may provide evidence of impaired enzyme activities, from which therapy adjustments can potentially be derived. A modified Escherichia coli strain was chosen for the overexpression and partial biochemical characterization of the enzymes, which may allow solubility and proper folding. Since post-translational protein modifications are very limited in bacteria, we also attempted to overexpress the enzymes in HEK293 cells (human-derived). In addition to characterization via immunoblots and activity assays, intracellular localization of the enzymes was also performed using GFP coupling and confocal laser scanning microscopy in transfected HEK293 cells. The GLYATL2 enzyme may have tasks beyond detoxification and metabolic defects and the preliminary molecular biology work has been performed as part of this project - the enzyme activity determinations were outsourced to a co-supervised bachelor thesis. The enzyme activity determinations with purified recombinant human enzyme from Escherichia coli provided a threefold higher activity of the sequence variant p.(Asn156Ser) for GLYAT, which should be considered as the probably authentic wild type of the enzyme. In addition, a reduced activity of the GLYAT variant p.(Gln61Leu), which is very common in South Africa, was shown, which could be of particular importance in the treatment of isovaleric acidemia, which is also common in South Africa. Intracellularly, GLYAT and GLYATL1 could be localized mitochondrially. As the analyses have shown, sequence variations of GLYAT and GLYATL1 influence their enzyme activity. As an example, the GLYAT variant p.(Gln61Leu) is frequently found in South Africa. In the case of reduced GLYAT activity, patients could be increasingly treated with L-carnitine in the sense of an individualized therapy, since the conjugation of the toxic isovaleryl-coA with glycine is restricted by the GLYAT sequence variation. Activity-reducing variants identified in this project are of particular interest, as they may influence the treatment of certain metabolic defects.
Bonding wires made of aluminum are the most used materials for the transmission of electrical signals in power electronic devices. During operation, different cyclic mechanical and thermal stresses can lead to fatigue loads and a failure of the bonding wires. A prediction or prevention of the wire failure is not yet possible by design for all cases. The following work presents meaningful fatigue tests in small wire dimensions and investigates the influence of the R-ratio on the lifetime of two different aluminum wires with a diameter of 300 μm each. The experiments show very reproducible fatigue results with ductile failure behavior. The endurable stress amplitude decreases linearly with an increasing stress ratio, which can be displayed by a Smith diagram, even though the applied maximum stresses exceed the initial yield stresses determined by tensile tests. A scaling of the fatigue results by the tensile strength indicates that the fatigue level is significantly influenced by the strength of the material. Due to the very consistent findings, the development of a generalized fatigue model for predicting the lifetime of bonding wires with an arbitrary loading situation seems to be possible and will be further investigated.
Modeling of Creep Behavior of Particulate Composites with Focus on Interfacial Adhesion Effect
(2022)
Evaluation of creep compliance of particulate composites using empirical models always provides parameters depending on initial stress and material composition. The effort spent to connect model parameters with physical properties has not resulted in success yet. Further, during the creep, delamination between matrix and filler may occur depending on time and initial stress, reducing an interface adhesion and load transfer to filler particles. In this paper, the creep compliance curves of glass beads reinforced poly(butylene terephthalate) composites were fitted with Burgers and Findley models providing different sets of time-dependent model parameters for each initial stress. Despite the finding that the Findley model performs well in a primary creep, the Burgers model is more suitable if secondary creep comes into play; they allow only for a qualitative prediction of creep behavior because the interface adhesion and its time dependency is an implicit, hidden parameter. As Young’s modulus is a parameter of these models (and the majority of other creep models), it was selected to be introduced as a filler content-dependent parameter with the help of the cube in cube elementary volume approach of Paul. The analysis led to the time-dependent creep compliance that depends only on the time-dependent creep of the matrix and the normalized particle distance (or the filler volume content), and it allowed accounting for the adhesion effect. Comparison with the experimental data confirmed that the elementary volume-based creep compliance function can be used to predict the realistic creep behavior of particulate composites.
Silicon carbide and graphene possess extraordinary chemical and physical properties. Here, these different systems are linked and the changes in structural and dynamic properties are investigated. For the simulations performed a classical molecular dynamic (MD) approach was used. In this approach, a graphene layer (N = 240 atoms) was grafted at different distances on top of a 6H-SiC structure (N = 2400 atoms) and onto a 3C-SiC structure (N = 1728 atoms). The distances between the graphene and the 6H are 1.0, 1.3 and 1.5 Å and the distances between the graphene layer and the 3C-SiC are 2.0, 2.3, and 2.5 Å. Each system has been equilibrated at room temperature until no further relaxation was observed. The 6H-SiC structure in combination with graphene proves to be more stable compared to the combination with 3C-SiC. This can be seen well in the determined energies. Pair distribution functions were influenced slightly by the graphene layer due to steric and energetic changes. This becomes clear from the small shifts of the C-C distances. Interactions as well as bonds between graphene and SiC lead to the fact that small shoulders of the high-frequency SiC-peaks are visible in the spectra and at the same time the high-frequency peaks of graphene are completely absent.
The Chemotype of Chromanones as a Privileged Scaffold for Multineurotarget Anti-Alzheimer Agents
(2022)
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) anion channel and the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) play essential roles in transepithelial ion and fluid transport in numerous epithelial tissues. Inhibitors of both channels have been important tools for defining their physiological role in vitro. However, two commonly used CFTR inhibitors, CFTRinh-172 and GlyH-101, also inhibit non-CFTR anion channels, indicating they are not CFTR specific. However, the potential off-target effects of these inhibitors on epithelial cation channels has to date not been addressed. Here, we show that both CFTR blockers, at concentrations routinely employed by many researchers, caused a significant inhibition of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) that was time-dependent, poorly reversible and independent of CFTR. Patch clamp experiments showed that both CFTRinh-172 and GlyH-101 caused a significant block of Orai1-mediated whole cell currents, establishing that they likely reduce SOCE via modulation of this Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel. In addition to off-target effects on calcium channels, both inhibitors significantly reduced human αβγ-ENaC-mediated currents after heterologous expression in Xenopus oocytes, but had differential effects on δβγ-ENaC function. Molecular docking identified two putative binding sites in the extracellular domain of ENaC for both CFTR blockers. Together, our results indicate that caution is needed when using these two CFTR inhibitors to dissect the role of CFTR, and potentially ENaC, in physiological processes.
SLC6A14 (ATB0,+) is unique among SLC proteins in its ability to transport 18 of the 20 proteinogenic (dipolar and cationic) amino acids and naturally occurring and synthetic analogues (including anti-viral prodrugs and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors). SLC6A14 mediates amino acid uptake in multiple cell types where increased expression is associated with pathophysiological conditions including some cancers. Here, we investigated how a key position within the core LeuT-fold structure of SLC6A14 influences substrate specificity. Homology modelling and sequence analysis identified the transmembrane domain 3 residue V128 as equivalent to a position known to influence substrate specificity in distantly related SLC36 and SLC38 amino acid transporters. SLC6A14, with and without V128 mutations, was heterologously expressed and function determined by radiotracer solute uptake and electrophysiological measurement of transporter-associated current. Substituting the amino acid residue occupying the SLC6A14 128 position modified the binding pocket environment and selectively disrupted transport of cationic (but not dipolar) amino acids and related NOS inhibitors. By understanding the molecular basis of amino acid transporter substrate specificity we can improve knowledge of how this multi-functional transporter can be targeted and how the LeuT-fold facilitates such diversity in function among the SLC6 family and other SLC amino acid transporters.
The following work presents algorithms for semi-automatic validation, feature extraction and ranking of time series measurements acquired from MOX gas sensors. Semi-automatic measurement validation is accomplished by extending established curve similarity algorithms with a slope-based signature calculation. Furthermore, a feature-based ranking metric is introduced. It allows for individual prioritization of each feature and can be used to find the best performing sensors regarding multiple research questions. Finally, the functionality of the algorithms, as well as the developed software suite, are demonstrated with an exemplary scenario, illustrating how to find the most power-efficient MOX gas sensor in a data set collected during an extensive screening consisting of 16,320 measurements, all taken with different sensors at various temperatures and analytes.
A precise characterization of substances is essential for the safe handling of explosives. One parameter regularly characterized is the impact sensitivity. This is typically determined using a drop hammer. However, the results can vary depending on the test method and even the operator, and it is not possible to distinguish the type of decomposition such as detonation and deflagration. This study monitors the reaction progress by constructing a drop hammer to measure the decomposition reaction of four different primary explosives (tetrazene, silver azide, lead azide, lead styphnate) in order to determine the reproducibility of this method. Additionally, further possible evaluation methods are explored to improve on the current binary statistical analysis. To determine whether classification was possible based on extracted features, the responses of equipped sensor arrays, which measure and monitor the reactions, were studied and evaluated. Features were extracted from this data and were evaluated using multivariate methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The results indicate that although the measurements show substance specific trends, they also show a large scatter for each substance. By reducing the dimensions of the extracted features, different sample clusters can be represented and the calculated loadings allow significant parameters to be determined for classification. The results also suggest that differentiation of different reaction mechanisms is feasible. Testing of the regressor function shows reliable results considering the comparatively small amount of data.
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.
While many proteins are known clients of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), it is unclear whether the transcription factor, thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRb), interacts with Hsp90 to control hormonal perception and signaling. Higher Hsp90 expression in mouse fibroblasts was elicited by the addition of triiodothyronine (T3). T3 bound to Hsp90 and enhanced adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding of Hsp90 due to a specific binding site for T3, as identified by molecular docking experiments. The binding of TRb to Hsp90 was prevented by T3 or by the thyroid mimetic sobetirome. Purified recombinant TRb trapped Hsp90 from cell lysate or purified Hsp90 in pull-down experiments. The affinity of Hsp90 for TRb was 124 nM. Furthermore, T3 induced the release of bound TRb from Hsp90, which was shown by streptavidin-conjugated quantum dot (SAv-QD) masking assay. The data indicate that the T3 interaction with TRb and Hsp90 may be an amplifier of the cellular stress response by blocking Hsp90 activity.
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.
Introduction of Matrix-Filler Adhesion to Modelling of Elastic Moduli of Particulate Composites
(2022)
Cube in cube elementary volume (EV) concept serves to predict a filler-content dependent Young´s moduli of particle filled composites using moduli of a matrix EM and a filler EF. Paul and Ishai-Cohen derived formulas for composites moduli considering different load transfer boundaries in the EV assuming a complete filler-matrix adhesion. In this paper it is confirmed that their models represent the upper and lower bounds, respectively, with the respect to the experimental data. However, in vast majority of composites a filler-matrix adhesion is not complete. Therefore, an adhesion factor kadh gaining values between 0 and 1 was introduced into Paul´s model to consider the reduced adhesion as the reduction of the filler-matrix contact area for glass beads filled in polar and unpolar thermoplastic matrices as well as elastomer. The evaluation of these composite systems provides reasonable adhesion coefficients of PA66 > PBT > PP > PE-LD >> BR. It was also found that stiffening only occurs if kadh exceeds the minimum value adhesion of root square of E(M) divided by E(F). The determined kadh correspond to scanning electron microscopy observations of the composites fracture surfaces. Additionally, finite element analysis of the cubic and hexagonal arrangements of the EV show that the stress distributions are different, but they affect the calculated moduli only for the filler volume contents exceeding 20 %. The introduction of the filler-matrix adhesion provides more reliable predictions of Young´s moduli of particulate composites.
Here we provide the electrophysiology data for the manuscript "Two functional epithelial sodium channel isoforms are present in rodents despite pronounced evolutionary pseudogenization and exon fusion", published in Molecular Biology and Evolution (2021): msab271 (doi: 10.1093/molbev/msab271). Data are reported as current values in Excel format, sorted according to the appearance in Figures and supplemented by explanatory text on the procedures/data presentation.
Microarray-based experiments revealed that thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3) enhanced the binding of Cy5-labeled ATP on heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). By molecular docking experiments with T3 on Hsp90, we identified a T3 binding site (TBS) near the ATP binding site on Hsp90. A synthetic peptide encoding HHHHHHRIKEIVKKHSQFIGYPITLFVEKE derived from the TBS on Hsp90 showed, in MST experiments, the binding of T3 at an EC50 of 50 μM. The binding motif can influence the activity of Hsp90 by hindering ATP accessibility or the release of ADP.
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.
Modern PCR-based analytical techniques have reached sensitivity levels that allow for obtaining complete forensic DNA profiles from even tiny traces containing genomic DNA amounts as small as 125 pg. Yet these techniques have reached their limits when it comes to the analysis of traces such as fingerprints or single cells. One suggestion to overcome these limits has been the usage of whole genome amplification (WGA) methods. These methods aim at increasing the copy number of genomic DNA and by this means generate more template DNA for subsequent analyses. Their application in forensic contexts has so far remained mostly an academic exercise, and results have not shown significant improvements and even have raised additional analytical problems. Until very recently, based on these disappointments, the forensic application of WGA seems to have largely been abandoned. In the meantime, however, novel improved methods are pointing towards a perspective for WGA in specific forensic applications. This review article tries to summarize current knowledge about WGA in forensics and suggests the forensic analysis of single-donor bioparticles and of single cells as promising applications.
Nanomedicine strategies were first adapted and successfully translated to clinical application for diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. These strategies would no doubt benefit unmet diseases needs as in the case of leishmaniasis. The latter causes skin sores in the cutaneous form and affects internal organs in the visceral form. Treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) aims at accelerating wound healing, reducing scarring and cosmetic morbidity, preventing parasite transmission and relapse. Unfortunately, available treatments show only suboptimal effectiveness and none of them were designed specifically for this disease condition. Tissue regeneration using nano-based devices coupled with drug delivery are currently being used in clinic to address diabetic wounds. Thus, in this review, we analyse the current treatment options and attempt to critically analyse the use of nanomedicine-based strategies to address CL wounds in view of achieving scarless wound healing, targeting secondary bacterial infection and lowering drug toxicity.
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.
Discrimination of Stressed and Non-Stressed Food-Related Bacteria Using Raman-Microspectroscopy
(2022)
As the identification of microorganisms becomes more significant in industry, so does the utilization of microspectroscopy and the development of effective chemometric models for data analysis and classification. Since only microorganisms cultivated under laboratory conditions can be identified, but they are exposed to a variety of stress factors, such as temperature differences, there is a demand for a method that can take these stress factors and the associated reactions of the bacteria into account. Therefore, bacterial stress reactions to lifetime conditions (regular treatment, 25 °C, HCl, 2-propanol, NaOH) and sampling conditions (cold sampling, desiccation, heat drying) were induced to explore the effects on Raman spectra in order to improve the chemometric models. As a result, in this study nine food-relevant bacteria were exposed to seven stress conditions in addition to routine cultivation as a control. Spectral alterations in lipids, polysaccharides, nucleic acids, and proteins were observed when compared to normal growth circumstances without stresses. Regardless of the involvement of several stress factors and storage times, a model for differentiating the analyzed microorganisms from genus down to strain level was developed. Classification of the independent training dataset at genus and species level for Escherichia coli and at strain level for the other food relevant microorganisms showed a classification rate of 97.6%.
Background: Cancer heterogeneity poses a serious challenge concerning the toxicity and adverse effects of therapeutic inhibitors, especially when it comes to combinatorial therapies that involve multiple targeted inhibitors. In particular, in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a number of studies have reported synergistic effects of drug combinations in the preclinical models, while they were only partially successful in the clinical setup, suggesting those alternative clinical strategies (with genetic background and immune response) should be considered. Herein, we investigated the antitumor effect
of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells in combination with ALK and PD-1 inhibitors in vitro on genetically variable NSCLC cell lines.
Methods: We co-cultured the three genetically different NSCLC cell lines NCI-H2228 (EML4-ALK), A549 (KRAS mutation), and HCC-78 (ROS1 rearrangement) with and without nivolumab (PD-1 inhibitor) and crizotinib (ALK inhibitor). Additionally, we profiled the variability of surface expression multiple immune checkpoints, the concentration of absolute dead cells, intracellular granzyme B on CIK cells using flow cytometry as well as RT-qPCR. ELISA and Western blot were performed to verify the activation of CIK cells.
Results: Our analysis showed that (a) nivolumab significantly weakened PD-1 surface expression on CIK cells without impacting other immune checkpoints or PD-1 mRNA expression, (b) this combination strategy showed an effective response on cell viability, IFN-g production, and intracellular release of granzyme B in CD3+ CD56+ CIK cells, but solely in NCI-H2228, (c) the intrinsic expression of Fas ligand (FasL) as a T-cell activation marker in CIK cells was upregulated by this additive effect, and (d) nivolumab induced Foxp3 expression in CD4+CD25+ subpopulation of CIK cells significantly increased. Taken together, we could show that CIK cells in combination with crizotinib and nivolumab can enhance the anti-tumor immune response through FasL activation, leading to increased IFN-g and granzyme B, but only in NCI-H2228 cells with EML4-ALK rearrangement. Therefore, we hypothesize that CIK therapy may be a potential alternative in NSCLC patients harboring EML4-ALK rearrangement, in addition, we support the idea that combination therapies offer significant potential when they are optimized on a patient-by-patient basis.
Process-induced changes in the morphology of biodegradable polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) and polylactic acid (PLA) blends modified with various multifunctional chainextending cross-linkers (CECLs) are presented. The morphology of unmodified and modified films produced with blown film extrusion is examined in an extrusion direction (ED) and a transverse direction (TD). While FTIR analysis showed only small peak shifts indicating that the CECLs modify the molecular weight of the PBAT/PLA blend, SEM investigations of the fracture surfaces of blown extrusion films revealed their significant effect on the morphology formed during the processing. Due to the combined shear and elongation deformation during blown film extrusion, rather spherical PLA islands were partly transformed into long fibrils, which tended to decay to chains of elliptical islands if cooled slowly. The CECL introduction into the blend changed the thickness of the PLA fibrils, modified the interface adhesion, and altered the deformation behavior of the PBAT matrix from brittle to ductile. The results proved that CECLs react selectively with PBAT, PLA, and their interface. Furthermore, the reactions of CECLs with PBAT/PLA induced by the processing depended on the deformation directions (ED and TD), thus resulting in further non-uniformities of blown extrusion films.
Typically, plastic packaging materials are produced using additives, like e.g. stabilisers, to introduce specific desired properties into the material or, in case of stabilisers, to prolong the shelf life of such packaging materials. However, those stabilisers are typically fossil-based and can pose risks to both environmental and human health. Therefore, the present study presents more sustainable alternatives based on regional renewable resources which show the relevant antioxidant, antimicrobial and UV absorbing properties to successfully serve as a plastic stabiliser. In the study, all plants are extracted and characterised with regard to not only antioxidant, antimicrobial and UV absorbing effects, but also with regard to additional relevant information like chemical constituents, molar mass distribution, absorbance in the visible range et cetera. The extraction process is furthermore optimised and, where applicable, reasonable opportunities for waste valorisation are explored and analysed. Furthermore, interactions between analysed plant extracts are described and model films based on Poly-Lactic Acid are prepared, incorporating analysed plant extracts. Based on those model films, formulation tests and migration analysis according to EU legislation is conducted.
The well-known aromatic and medicinal plant thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) includes phenolic terpenoids like thymol and carvacrol which have strong antioxidant, antimicrobial and UV absorbing effects. Analyses show that those effects can be used in both lipophilic and hydrophilic surroundings, that the variant Varico 3 is a more potent cultivar than other analysed thyme variants, and that a passive extraction setup can be used for extract preparation while distillation of the Essential Oils can be a more efficient approach.
Macromolecular antioxidant polyphenols, particularly proanthocyanidins, have been found in the seed coats of the European horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.) which are regularly discarded in phytopharmaceutical industry. In this study, such effects and compounds have been reported for the first time while a valorisation of waste materials has been analysed successfully. Furthermore, a passive extraction setup for waste materials and whole seeds has been developed. In extracts of snowdrops, precisely Galanthus elwesii HOOK.F., high concentrations of tocopherol have been found which promote a particularly high antioxidant capacity in lipophilic surroundings. Different coniferous woods (Abies div., Picea div.) which are in use as Christmas trees are extracted after separating the biomass in leafs and wood parts before being analysed regarding extraction optimisation and drought resistance of active substances. Antioxidant and UV absorbing proanthocyanidins are found even in dried biomasses, allowing the circular use of already used Christmas trees as bio-based stabilisers and the production of sustainable paper as a byproduct.
