Abstract

Die Disserationsarbeit sollte die klinischen Konsequenzen der Umstellung der Clostridium-difficile-Diagnostik von einem ELISA- auf einen PCR-basierten Algorithmus untersuchen. Differenziert betrachtet wurden neben der Qualität der Diagnostik, der Behandlung und weiterer klinischer Parameter des einzelnen Patienten, das Hygienemanagement und die Labor- inkl. Behandlungskosten. Grundlage der retrospektiven Datenanalyse war eine entsprechende Umstellung der Diagnostik im Klinikum Stuttgart im November 2015. Erhoben wurden Daten jeweils in einjährigen Zeiträumen vor und nach dieser Umstellung des Diagnoseverfahrens.

12. The two cathepsin B-like proteases of Arabidopsis thaliana are closely related enzymes with discrete endopeptidase and carboxydipeptidase activities

Abstract

The genome of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana encodes three paralogues of the papain-like cysteine proteinase cathepsin B (AtCathB1, AtCathB2 and AtCathB3), whose individual functions are still largely unknown. Here we show that a mutated splice site causes severe truncations of the AtCathB1 polypeptide, rendering it catalytically incompetent. By contrast, AtCathB2 and AtCathB3 are effective proteases which display comparable hydrolytic properties and share most of their substrate specificities. Site-directed mutagenesis experiments demonstrated that a single amino acid substitution (Gly336→Glu) is sufficient to confer AtCathB2 with the capacity to tolerate arginine in its specificity-determining S2 subsite, which is otherwise a hallmark of AtCathB3-mediated cleavages. A degradomics approach utilizing proteome-derived peptide libraries revealed that both enzymes are capable of acting as endopeptidases and exopeptidases, releasing dipeptides from the C-termini of substrates. Mutation of the carboxydipeptidase determinant His207 also affected the activity of AtCathB2 towards non-exopeptidase substrates, highlighting mechanistic differences between plant and human cathepsin B. This was also noted in molecular modeling studies which indicate that the occluding loop defining the dual enzymatic character of cathepsin B does not obstruct the active-site cleft of AtCathB2 to the same extent as in its mammalian orthologues.

Abstract

The changes in the myocardial proteome and metabolome associated with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) are poorly characterized. We investigated the impact of mechanical unloading following LVAD therapy on the myocardial proteome and metabolome. Matched samples of 5 patients' myocardial tissue, harvested at the time of LVAD implant ("pre‐LVAD") or heart transplant ("post‐LVAD"), were studied by quantitative proteomics and metabolomics as well as being probed for T‐tubule structure and connexin‐43 distribution. Moreover, pre‐LVAD proteome profiles of ICM context were bioinformatically compared to pre‐LVAD proteome profiles of dilated cardiac myopathy (DCM). More than 2120 proteins were reliably identified and quantified in paired patient samples. LVAD therapy led to proteomic remodeling, including reduced levels of α‐1‐antichymotrypsin together with an overall decrease of immune response proteins and an increase of proteins involved in membrane biology. Metabolomics highlighted increased glucose and glucose‐6‐phosphate levels in the left ventricle upon LVAD therapy. Wheat germ agglutinin staining demonstrated improved T‐tubule structure. Connexin‐43 displayed a trend for more pronounced intercalated disc localization. In comparing pre‐LVAD proteome profiles of ICM context with pre‐LVAD proteome profiles of dilated cardiac myopathy (DCM), we noticed an overrepresentation in ICM of proteins associated with humoral immune response. Our findings underline an impact of LVAD therapy on left ventricular biology in ICM. The proteomic, metabolomic, and structural alterations described here are typically associated with cardiac recovery. On the molecular level, our findings indicate the possibility of cardiac remodeling under LVAD therapy in ICM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

16. Pitfalls in assessing microvascular endothelial barrier function: impedance-based devices versus the classic macromolecular tracer assay

Abstract

The most frequently used parameters to describe the barrier properties of endothelial cells (ECs) in vitro are (i) the macromolecular permeability, indicating the flux of a macromolecular tracer across the endothelium, and (ii) electrical impedance of ECs grown on gold-film electrodes reporting on the cell layer's tightness for ion flow. Due to the experimental differences between these approaches, inconsistent observations have been described. Here, we present the first direct comparison of these assays applied to one single cell type (human microvascular ECs) under the same experimental conditions. The impact of different pharmacological tools (histamine, forskolin, Y-27632, blebbistatin, TRAP) on endothelial barrier function was analyzed by Transwell(®) tracer assays and two commercial impedance devices (xCELLigence(®), ECIS(®)). The two impedance techniques provided very similar results for all compounds, whereas macromolecular permeability readings were found to be partly inconsistent with impedance. Possible reasons for these discrepancies are discussed. We conclude that the complementary combination of both approaches is highly recommended to overcome the restrictions of each assay. Since the nature of the growth support may contribute to the observed differences, structure-function relationships should be based on cells that are consistently grown on either permeable or impermeable growth supports in all experiments.
