- Abstract
Background: COVID-19 is characterized by a heterogeneous clinical presentation, ranging from mild symptoms to severe courses of disease. 9-20% of hospitalized patients with severe lung disease die from COVID-19 and a substantial number of survivors develop long-COVID. Our objective was to provide comprehensive insights into the pathophysiology of severe COVID-19 and to identify liquid biomarkers for disease severity and therapy response. Methods: We studied a total of 85 lungs (n = 31 COVID autopsy samples; n = 7 influenza A autopsy samples; n = 18 interstitial lung disease explants; n = 24 healthy controls) using the highest resolution Synchrotron radiation-based hierarchical phase-contrast tomography, scanning electron microscopy of microvascular corrosion casts, immunohistochemistry, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging, and analysis of mRNA expression and biological pathways. Plasma samples from all disease groups were used for liquid biomarker determination using ELISA. The anatomic/molecular data were analyzed as a function of patients' hospitalization time. Findings: The observed patchy/mosaic appearance of COVID-19 in conventional lung imaging resulted from microvascular occlusion and secondary lobular ischemia. The length of hospitalization was associated with increased intussusceptive angiogenesis. This was associated with enhanced angiogenic, and fibrotic gene expression demonstrated by molecular profiling and metabolomic analysis. Increased plasma fibrosis markers correlated with their pulmonary tissue transcript levels and predicted disease severity. Plasma analysis confirmed distinct fibrosis biomarkers (TSP2, GDF15, IGFBP7, Pro-C3) that predicted the fatal trajectory in COVID-19. Interpretation: Pulmonary severe COVID-19 is a consequence of secondary lobular microischemia and fibrotic remodelling, resulting in a distinctive form of fibrotic interstitial lung disease that contributes to long-COVID.

Microglandular adenosis (MGA) represents a rare neoplasm of the mammary gland, which in a subset of cases may be associated with triple‐negative breast cancer (BC). The biology of MGA is poorly understood. In this study, eight MGA cases (n = 4 with and n = 4 without associated BC) were subjected to a comprehensive characterization using immunohistochemistry, genome‐wide DNA copy number (CN) profiling, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), next‐generation sequencing (NGS), and DNA methylation profiling using 850 K arrays and bisulfite pyrosequencing. Median patient age was 61 years (range 57–76 years). MGA lesions were estrogen receptor (ER)‐negative, progesterone receptor‐negative, HER2‐negative, and S100‐positive. DNA CN alterations (CNAs) were complex or limited to few gains and losses. CN gain on chromosome 2q was the most common CNA and was validated by FISH in five of eight cases. NGS demonstrated an average of two mutations per case (range 0–5) affecting 10 different genes (ARID1A, ATM, CTNNB1, FBXW7, FGFR2, MET, PIK3CA, PMS2, PTEN, and TP53). CNAs and mutations were similar in MGA and adjacent BC, indicating clonal relatedness. DNA methylation profiling identified aberrant hypermethylation of CpG sites within GATA3, a key transcription factor required for luminal differentiation. Immunohistochemistry showed regular GATA3 protein expression in the normal mammary epithelium and in ER‐positive BC. Conversely, GATA3 was reduced or lost in all MGA cases tested (8/8). In conclusion, MGA is characterized by common CN gain on chromosome 2q and loss of GATA3. Epigenetic inactivation of GATA3 may provide a new clue to the peculiar biology of this rare neoplasia.

Stark, Helge
- Abstract
In der Systembiologie werden durch die mathematische Modellierung unterschiedlichster molekularer Prozesse neue Erkenntnisse über biologische Netzwerke gewonnen. So kann durch die Rekonstruktion genomweiter metabolischer Modelle der Stoffwechsel von Organismen bioinformatisch analysiert werden. Hochinteressant für biotechnologische Fragestellungen ist dabei besonders der Stoffwechsel thermophiler Prokaryoten, für die allerdings nur eine sehr geringe Anzahl genomweiter metabolischer Modelle existiert. In dieser Arbeit wurden zwei Ziele verfolgt. Zum Einen sollten etablierte Softwarepakete für die metabolische Modellierung zu einer Modellierungsplattform zusammengefügt werden. Zum Anderen sollten verfügbare metabolische Modelle thermophiler Prokaryoten erweitert und der Kohlenhydratstoffwechsel dieser Organismen erstmals für viele verschiedene Kohlenstoffquellen detailliert charakterisiert werden. Die in dieser Arbeit entwickelte Modellierungsplattform unterstützt die automatisierte Durchführung und Analyse einer großen Anzahl an Simulationen und ermöglicht erstmals die vollständig datenbankbasierte Verwaltung und Analyse metabolischer Modelle. Neben einer Anzahl etablierter mathematischer Methoden werden auch neue graphische Analysemethoden wie die elementzentrische Analyse von Modellflüssen zur Verfügung gestellt. Die metabolischen Modelle der thermophilen Prokaryoten T. thermophilus HB27 und S. solfataricus P2 konnten in dieser Arbeit in Umfang und Qualität deutlich erweitert werden, sodass sie nun als die umfangreichsten genomweiten metabolischen Modelle thermophiler Prokaryoten gelten. Am Beispiel des Modells von T. thermophilus wurde gezeigt, dass die elementzentrische Analyse von vorhergesagten Kohlenstoffflüssen sehr gut mit experimentellen 13 C-Analysen übereinstimmt. Die temperaturabhängigen Parameter in diesem Modell führen außerdem zu besseren Vorhersagen für unterschiedliche Wachstumstemperaturen. Die Analyse des Modells von S. solfataricus zeigte, dass der Organismus einige alternative Stoffwechselwege zur Fixierung von CO2 und der Regeneration von Reduktionsäquivalenten besitzt. Das Modell konnte zudem dazu beitragen, die Abbauwege von L-Fucose und verschiedenen Aminosäuren im Organismus aufzuklären. S. solfataricus nutzt dabei bemerkenswerterweise oft identische Enzyme für den Abbau mehrerer Substrate., In the field of systems biology new insights on biological networks are being acquired via mathematical modelling of various molecular processes. In this regard, the reconstruction of genome-wide metabolic models allows for the in silico analysis of an organism’s metabolism. The metabolism of thermophile prokaryotes is of especially high biotechnological interest. However, only a small number of genome-wide metabolic models has yet been published for thermophile organisms. In this work two major aims have been pursued. First, established software for metabolic modelling should be integrated into a modelling platform. Second, available metabolic models of thermophile prokaryotes should be expanded and the carbohydrate metabolism of these organisms should be characterised for the first time in detail for various carbon sources. The modelling platform that was developed in this work features the automated execution and analysis of large numbers of simulations and allows for the completely database-based administration and analysis of metabolic models. Next to established mathematical methods for the analysis of metabolic models the platform features new graphical methods like the element-centric analysis of in silico fluxes. The metabolic models of the thermophile organisms T. thermophilus HB27 and S. solfataricus P2 were successfully expanded in size and quality and can now be considered the largest genome-wide metabolic models of thermophile prokaryotes. Using the model of T. thermophilus it was demonstrated that the element-centric analysis of predicted carbon fluxes is in good agreement with experimental 13 C-fluxes. Temperature-dependent parameters that have been added to this model yield better predictions for different growth temperatures. The analysis of the metabolic model of S. solfataricus shows that the organism possesses a number of alternative pathways for the fixation of CO2 and the regeneration of reducing equivalents. The model also contributed to the elucidation of the degradation pathways of L-fucose and various amino acids. S. solfataricus remarkably uses same sets of enzymes for the degradation of multiple substrates.

The Hannover Unified Biobank (HUB) was established in 2012 as the central biobank of the Hannover Medical School (MHH) to provide an infrastructure for the standardised collection and storage of liquid biosamples and associated data in the context of research projects and clinical studies. For the comprehensive collection of tissue samples from the clinical routine the HUB cooperates with the MHH Institute of Pathology. All samples are connected with the associated clinical data stored in the ECRDW (Enterprise Clinical Research Data Warehouse) of the MHH. Headed by Prof. Dr. Thomas Illig the HUB developed into one of the biggest state of the art clinical biobanks in Germany and today stores about 2.88 Mio samples (mainly FFPE tissue and blood derived liquid samples) of a wide range of diseases.

Archaea are characterised by a complex metabolism with many unique enzymes that differ from their bacterial and eukaryotic counterparts. The thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus is known for its metabolic versatility and is able to utilize a great variety of different carbon sources. However, the underlying degradation pathways and their regulation are often unknown. In this work, the growth on different carbon sources was analysed, using an integrated systems biology approach. The comparison of growth on L-fucose and D-glucose allows first insights into the genome-wide changes in response to the two carbon sources and revealed a new pathway for L-fucose degradation in S. solfataricus. During growth on L-fucose major changes in the central carbon metabolic network, as well as an increased activity of the glyoxylate bypass and the 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle were observed. Within the newly discovered pathway for L-fucose degradation the following key reactions were identified: (i) L-fucose oxidation to L-fuconate via a dehydrogenase, (ii) dehydration to 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-fuconate via dehydratase, (iii) 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-fuconate cleavage to pyruvate and L-lactaldehyde via aldolase and (iv) L-lactaldehyde conversion to L-lactate via aldehyde dehydrogenase. This pathway as well as L-fucose transport shows interesting overlaps to the D-arabinose pathway, representing another example for pathway promiscuity in Sulfolobus species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Human precision-cut lung slices (PCLSs) have proven to be an invaluable tool for numerous toxicologic, pharmacologic, and immunologic studies. For most studies, a cultivation period of <1 week is sufficient, but modeling of complex disease mechanisms and investigating effects of long-term exposure to certain substances require much longer cultivation periods. So far, data regarding tissue integrity of long-term cultivated PCLSs are incomplete. More than 1500 human PCLSs from 16 different donors were cultivated under standardized, serum-free conditions for up to 28 days and assessed the preservation of viability, tissue integrity, and the transcriptome to an unprecedented extent. Even though viability of PCLSs was well preserved during long-term cultivation, a continuous loss of cells could be observed. Although the bronchial epithelium was well preserved throughout cultivation, the alveolar integrity was mostly preserved for 2 weeks, and the vasculatory system experienced significant loss in integrity within the first week. Furthermore, ciliary beat in the small airways gradually decreased after 1 week. Interestingly, keratinizing squamous metaplasia of the alveolar epithelium with significantly increasing manifestation over time were found. Transcriptome analysis revealed a significantly increased immune response and significantly decreased metabolic activity within the first 24 hours after PCLS generation. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive overview of histomorphologic and pathologic changes during long-term cultivation of PCLSs.

- Abstract
The pathogenetic role of angiogenesis in interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) is controversial. This study represents the first investigation of the spatial complexity and molecular motifs of microvascular architecture in important subsets of human ILD. The aim of our study was to identify specific variants of neoangiogenesis in three common pulmonary injury patterns in human ILD.We performed comprehensive and compartment-specific analysis of 24 human lung explants with usual intersitial pneumonia (UIP), nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and alveolar fibroelastosis (AFE) using histopathology, microvascular corrosion casting, micro-comupted tomography based volumetry and gene expression analysis using Nanostring as well as immunohistochemistry to assess remodelling-associated angiogenesis.Morphometrical assessment of vessel diameters and intervascular distances showed significant differences in neoangiogenesis in characteristically remodelled areas of UIP, NSIP and AFE lungs. Likewise, gene expression analysis revealed distinct and specific angiogenic profiles in UIP, NSIP and AFE lungs.Whereas UIP lungs showed a higher density of upstream vascularity and lower density in perifocal blood vessels, NSIP and AFE lungs revealed densely packed alveolar septal blood vessels. Vascular remodelling in NSIP and AFE is characterised by a prominent intussusceptive neoangiogenesis, in contrast to UIP, in which sprouting of new vessels into the fibrotic areas is characteristic. The molecular analyses of the gene expression provide a foundation for understanding these fundamental differences between AFE and UIP and give insight into the cellular functions involved., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: H.
