Allerdings sind die Auswirkungen einer SD-Fehlfunktion im menschlichen Organismus kaum geschlechtsspezifisch charakterisiert. Zudem steigt die Rate an SD- Funktionsstörungen mit dem Alter an und auch hierbei ist bislang nur unzureichend bekannt, ob eine Über- oder Unterfunktion bei älteren Frauen im Vergleich zu Männern ähnliche Konsequenzen hat im Hinblick auf z.B. das kardiovaskuläre System, den Energiestoffwechsel oder das Verhalten. Um diese klinischen Fragestellungen in einem in vivo Mausmodell nachzustellen, wurden zunächst Protokolle für eine chronische Überfunktion in männlichen und weiblichen Tieren etabliert. Im Anschluss erfolgte eine Charakterisierung von geschlechtsspezifischen Eigenschaften einer Über- und Unterfunktion in verschiedenen Lebensabschnitten bei jungen, erwachsenen und alten Mäusen sowie Analysen zur organspezifischen SD-Hormon (SDH) Wirkung. Im Vergleich der jungen Tiere zeigte sich, dass das Geschlecht eine wichtige Rolle bei SDH-abhängigen Veränderungen des Körpergewichts, der Körpertemperatur, der Futter- und Wasseraufnahme, den SDH-Serumkonzentrationen und neuro- muskulären Eigenschaften spielt. Im Vergleich von erwachsenen und älteren Tieren wurde sowohl eine gleichbleibende (für Körpertemperatur, SDH-Serum- konzentrationen, Aktivität) als auch verstärkte (für Körpergewicht, Muskelfunktion) geschlechtsabhängige SDH-Wirkung beobachtet. Interessanterweise ließen sich in allen drei Altersgruppen keine Unterschiede zwischen Männchen und Weibchen in der Herzfrequenz bei einer Über- und Unterfunktion beobachten. In der Analyse der organspezifischen SDH-Wirkung zeigte sich, dass die SDH-abhängige Genexpression im Herzen die geringsten geschlechtsspezifischen Unterschiede aufweist, während im braunen Fettgewebe und noch deutlicher in der Leber ausgeprägte geschlechts- und SDH-spezifische Transkriptänderungen auftraten. In weiteren Analysen konnte eine geschlechts- und SDH-abhängige Regulation von Claudin-1 in der Leber nachgewiesen werden, welche wahrscheinlich eine Relevanz für die Gallensäure Homeostase hat und einen möglichen Pathomechanismus für geschlechtsabhängige Cholelithiasis bei SD-Funktionsstörungen darstellen könnte. 7 Zusammenfassung Zusammenfassend sind dies die ersten Arbeiten, welche geschlechtsspezifische Aspekte einer SD-Über- oder Unterfunktion in verschiedenen Lebensaltern im Mausmodell abbilden. Diese Ergebnisse dienen als Grundlage, um die molekularen Mechanismen auf organischer und Zellebene zu verstehen. Dies kann helfen, translational zukünftig am Menschen

  • The Purification and Identification of Interactors to Elucidate Novel Connections in the HEK 293 Cell Line
    The Purification and Identification of Interactors to Elucidate Novel Connections in the HEK 293 Cell Line Brett Hawley Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology Faculty of Medicine University of Ottawa © Brett Hawley, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 ABSTRACT The field of proteomics studies the structure and function of proteins in a large scale and high throughput manner. My work in the field of proteomics focuses on identifying interactions between proteins and discovering novel interactions. The identification of these interactions provides new information on metabolic and disease pathways and the working proteome of a cell. Cells are lysed and purified using antibody based affinity purification followed by digestion and identification using an HPLC coupled to a mass spectrometer. In my studies, I looked at the interaction networks of several AD related genes (Apolipoprotein E, Clusterin variant 1 and 2, Low-density lipoprotein receptor, Phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein, Alpha- synuclein and Platelet-activating factor receptor) and an endosomal recycling pathway involved in cholesterol metabolism (Eps15 homology domain 1,2 and 4, Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 and Low-density lipoprotein receptor). Several novel and existing interactors were identified and these interactions were validated using co-immunopurification, which could be the basis for future research. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to take this opportunity to thank my supervisor, Dr. Daniel Figeys, for his support and guidance throughout my studies in his lab. It was a great experience to work in his lab and I am very thankful I was given the chance to learn and work under him. I would also like to thank the members of my lab for all their assistance in learning new techniques and equipment in the lab.

  • Regulator of G Protein Signaling 2 Mediates Cardiac Compensation to Pressure Overload and Antihypertrophic Effects of PDE5 Inhibition in Mice
    Regulator of G protein signaling 2 mediates cardiac compensation to pressure overload and antihypertrophic effects of PDE5 inhibition in mice Eiki Takimoto, … , Michael E. Mendelsohn, David A. Kass J Clin Invest. 2009;119(2):408-420. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI35620. Research Article Cardiology The heart initially compensates for hypertension-mediated pressure overload by enhancing its contractile force and developing hypertrophy without dilation. Gq protein–coupled receptor pathways become activated and can depress function, leading to cardiac failure. Initial adaptation mechanisms to reduce cardiac damage during such stimulation remain largely unknown. Here we have shown that this initial adaptation requires regulator of G protein signaling 2 (RGS2). Mice lacking RGS2 had a normal basal cardiac phenotype, yet responded rapidly to pressure overload, with increased myocardial Gq signaling, marked cardiac hypertrophy and failure, and early mortality. Swimming exercise, which is not accompanied by Gq activation, induced a normal cardiac response, while Rgs2 deletion in Gαq- overexpressing hearts exacerbated hypertrophy and dilation. In vascular smooth muscle, RGS2 is activated by cGMP- –/– dependent protein kinase (PKG), suppressing Gq-stimulated vascular contraction. In normal mice, but not Rgs2 mice, PKG activation by the chronic inhibition of cGMP-selective phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) suppressed maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy, inhibiting Gq-coupled stimuli. Importantly, PKG was similarly activated by PDE5 inhibition in myocardium from both genotypes, but PKG plasma membrane translocation was more transient in Rgs2–/– myocytes than in controls and was unaffected by PDE5 inhibition. Thus, RGS2 is required for early myocardial compensation to pressure overload and mediates the initial antihypertrophic and cardioprotective effects of PDE5 inhibitors.

  • ATP2A2 Gene Atpase Sarcoplasmic/Endoplasmic Reticulum Ca2+ Transporting 2
    ATP2A2 gene ATPase sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ transporting 2 Normal Function The ATP2A2 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called sarco(endo) plasmic reticulum calcium-ATPase 2 (SERCA2). This enzyme belongs to a family of ATPase enzymes that helps control the level of positively charged calcium atoms ( calcium ions) inside cells. Within the cell, SERCA2 is found in the endoplasmic reticulum and a related structure in muscle cells called the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is a structure inside the cell that is involved in protein processing and transport. The sarcoplasmic reticulum assists with muscle contraction and relaxation by releasing and storing calcium ions. Calcium ions act as signals for a large number of activities that are important for the normal development and function of cells. SERCA2 allows calcium ions to pass into and out of the cell in response to cell signals. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes Darier disease More than 130 mutations in the ATP2A2 gene have been found to cause Darier disease. Most of these mutations change a single protein building block (amino acid) in the SERCA2 enzyme. All mutations cause the production of a nonfunctional SERCA2 enzyme or cause no SERCA2 to be produced from one copy of the gene. Cells with only one functional copy of the ATP2A2 gene produce half the normal amount of SERCA2 protein. It is thought that insufficient amounts of SERCA2 combined with outside factors such as heat and minor injury cause the signs and symptoms of Darier

  • Deficiency of Myostatin Protects Skeletal Muscle Cells from Ischemia
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Defciency of myostatin protects skeletal muscle cells from ischemia reperfusion injury Christoph Wallner1,3, Marius Drysch1,3, Mustafa Becerikli1, Sonja Verena Schmidt1, Stephan Hahn2, Johannes Maximilian Wagner1, Felix Reinkemeier1, Mehran Dadras1, Alexander Sogorski1, Maxi von Glinski1, Marcus Lehnhardt1 & Björn Behr1* Ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury plays a pivotal role in many diseases and leads to collateral damage during surgical interventions. While most studies focus on alleviating its severity in the context of brain, liver, kidney, and cardiac tissue, research as regards to skeletal muscle has not been conducted to the same extent. In the past, myostatin (MSTN), primarily known for supressing muscle growth, has been implicated in infammatory circuits, and research provided promising results for cardiac IR injury mitigation by inhibiting MSTN cell surface receptor ACVR2B. This generated the question if interrupting MSTN signaling could temper IR injury in skeletal muscle. Examining human specimens from free myocutaneous fap transfer demonstrated increased MSTN signaling and tissue damage in terms of apoptotic activity, cell death, tissue edema, and lipid peroxidation. In subsequent in vivo MstnLn/Ln IR injury models, we identifed potential mechanisms linking MSTN defciency to protective efects, among others, inhibition of p38 MAPK signaling and SERCA2a modulation. Furthermore, transcriptional profling revealed a putative involvement of NK cells. Collectively, this work establishes a protective role of MSTN defciency in skeletal muscle IR injury. Skeletal muscle IR injury is a multidisciplinary occurrence. While many studies have examined potential targets to alleviate tissue damage caused by IR, focus was ofen directed towards internal organs or cardiac muscle, respectively. Considering the high prevalence of skeletal muscle IR injury (e.g.
