Airway Epithelial Cells as Targets of Glucocorticoid Therapy in Inflammatory Lung Diseases
(2017-02-24)Glucocorticoids (GCs) have been a mainstay in the treatment of various autoimmune and allergic diseases for many decades due to their potent anti-inflammatory activities. The beneficial effects of GCs are mediated by the ... -
Analyse molekularer Marker und Signalwege in soliden Tumorzelllinien und ihre Bedeutung für die Tumorprogression und Metastasierung
(2016-06-01)The development of distant metastases is the main leading cause of cancer death and the crucial adverse event in cancer progression. The “Seed and Soil” hypothesis by Stephen Paget states that different cancer cells prefer ... -
Cardiac microvascular dysfunction in diabetes mellitus: elucidation of molecular determinants and therapeutic targets
(2023-03-09)Microvascular dysfunction is a pathological hallmark of the diabetic myocardium, and is central to the etiology of diabetes-associated cardiac events. Herein, previous studies highlighted the role of the vasoactive micro-RNA ... -
Cellular immunotherapy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: Discovery and evaluation of novel target candidates
(2021-03-19)Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a devastating disease with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. In recent years, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have achieved remarkable success in the ... -
Charakterisierung induzierter, kolorektaler Lebermetastasen in einem Mausmodell und Einfluss von Makrophagenphänotypen auf die Tumorprogression
(2017-01-12)The liver is considered to be the primary target organ for hematogenous spread of colorectal cancer (CRC), as more than 50 % of affected patients develop liver metastases during the course of their tumor disease. Due to ... -
EZH2-GATA6 axis in Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
(2020-09-25)Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly heterogeneous disease which is significantly driven by epigenetic alterations, e.g. installed by overexpression of Enhancer of Zeste homologue 2 (EZH2). EZH2 constitutes ... -
In vivo imaging of the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv10.1 utilizing SPECT in combination with radiolabeled antibodies
(2015-11-19)The detection of tumors in an early phase of tumor development is an important achievement to improve the overall prognosis of the patient. Besides accurate information of tumor load and spread, the retrieval of the ... -
Induced pluripotent stem cells from patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) as a model to study functional contribution of endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in HLHS
(2016-11-30)Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is one of the most lethal congenital heart diseases (CHD) and its pathological mechanism remains unclear. Endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) is a hallmark of HLHS which impairs myocardial ... -
The Kv10.1 voltage gated potassium ion channel modulates the cell adhesion and cell migration hallmarks of cancer
(2015-06-23)A characteristic of the Kv10.1 voltage-gated potassium ion channel is its overexpression in a number of cancerous tissues and cancer cell lines, even though it should normally be restricted to the adult brain and myoblasts. ... -
The oxygen sensor PHD2 affects energy metabolism and cell function in macrophages
(2016-11-08)Macrophages are key players in the innate immune system and contribute significantly to inflammation in ischemic tissues, such as the infarcted heart. During inflammation, macrophages are involved in tissue remodeling, ... -
Therapeutic strategies targeting Kv10.1 in PDAC
(2017-01-19)This study was conducted to explore the suitability of the voltage gated potassium channel Kv10.1 as a novel therapeutic target in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). PDAC, which is characterized by marked invasiveness, ... -
Untersuchungen zur Chemotherapieresistenz von H8N8-Tumorzellen nach Cyclophosphamid-, Doxorubicin- und 5-Fluouraciltherapie im syngenen WAP-T-Mammakarzinom-Mausmodell
(2019-10-18)In breast cancer patients, it is usually not the primary tumor that is the cause of death, but rather the development of locoregional or distant recurrence. Despite seemingly complete resection, some tumor cells often ...
