Expression and Regulation of Connexins in Intestinal Cells in a Model of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Expression und Regulation von Connexinen in intestinalen Zellen in einem Darmentzündungsmodell
Project Investigators: Prof. Dr. Hassan Y. Naim
Duration: 2015 until December 2021
Project Details:
The gastrointestinal tract is constantly exposed to considerable challenges. As a consequence of bacterial and dietary antigens found in the lumen, the intestine displays a low-grade physiological inflammation. Under pathological conditions, such as the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the intestinal mucosa is infiltrated by inflammatory cells including neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes. The inflammatory cells homing to the intestinal mucosa come in close proximity to the intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) layer, and may be involved in induction of the functional impairment of IECs. Three essential mechanisms may contribute to the induction of this state: (i) soluble mediators secreted by inflammatory cells, (ii) direct adhesion and signaling molecules expressed on the surface of immune cells and epithelial cells and (iii) cytoplasmic exchange of specific signals between the inflammatory cells and IECs via gap junction (GJ) channels. Gap junctions (GJ) are clusters of intercellular channels, which allow a direct exchange of ions and signalling metabolites of low molecular weight (less than 2 kDa) between adjacent cells. Gap junction channels span the plasma membranes of two adjacent cells and are composed of members of highly homologous family of proteins known collectively as connexins (Cx), which are named according to their theoretical molecular weight. Connexin 43 is the most abundant and widely spread connexin in human body which has been intensively studied for its role in inflammatory conditions. Our recent study (Cross-talk between intestinal epithelial cells and immune cells in inflammatory bowel disease. Al-Ghadban S, Kaissi S, Homaidan FR, Naim HY, El-Sabban ME. Sci Rep. 2016 Jul 15;6:29783. doi: 10.1038/srep29783.) and preliminary work have shown that IECs and immune cells (macrophages) are expressing Cx26 and Cx43 proteins and are able to create functional homo- and hetero-cellular GJs.
This project aims to study the expression and regulation of Cx43 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) under normal and inflammatory conditions. The IECs to be utilized in this proposal are Caco-2 cells, which is a colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line widely used as models of intestinal transport and in pathology including inflammation. Moreover, post-biosynthetic assembly into functional homo- or heterotypic connexons and their trafficking to the plasma membrane will be investigated. Here special interest would be on analysing the mode of interaction of Cxs with cellular membranes specifically caveolin-rich membrane domains. Additionally, since important aspect of this proposal is to study the involvement of gap junction dependent cell-to-cell communication in the pathobiology of IBD, we will analyse whether the inflammatory reactions related to the induction of IBD have an effect on gap junction coupling and all above-mentioned processes. These data would be essential for understanding the physiological role of Cxs in IECs in more details and would shed more light onto possible changes in their function that happen upon IBD development and contribute to the progression of the disease.

Molecular genetic characterization of curly coat in horses and pigs using high density markers and next generation sequencing data
Molekulargenetische Charakterisierung des lockigen Haarkleides bei Pferden und Schweinen anhand von hochauflösenden Markersets und Next Generation Sequencing-Daten
Project Investigators: Dr. Julia Metzger
Duration: Mid 2015 until Mid 2021
Funding: DFG, 248.138 EUR
Project Details:
Das Ziel dieser Studie ist die Aufklärung der genetischen Mechanismen, die die Lockenbildung im Haarkleid beeinflussen. Auf der Grundlage der bisherigen Untersuchungen im Rahmen dieses DFG-Projektes konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Lockenbildung zwar durch einzelne Mutation initiiert wird, jedoch weitere genetische Prozesse die Struktur und Stärke der Locken beeinflussen. Im weiteren Verlauf dieser Studien soll nun anhand des Tiermodels Schwein vergleichend zum Pferd untersucht werden, welche Gene in der Haarentwicklung interagieren und jahreszeitlich- und temperaturabhängige Unterschiede verursachen. Dabei sollen durch Haarprobennahmen in einer einheitlichen Umgebung, in monatlichen Intervallen und über die Generationen hinweg Gen-Expressionsunterschiede im Haaren mittels Next Generation Sequencing Technologie analysiert werden. Das Mangaliza Wollschwein stellt hierfür durch sein im Vergleich zum Pferd kürzeres Generationsintervall und die höhere Nachkommenzahl ein geeignetes Model zur Verifizierung dar. Diese Herangehensweise bietet einen ganz neuen Ansatz in der Erforschung der Haarentwicklung und soll damit Mechanismen erklären, die tierartübergreifend für die Ausprägung eines lockigen Haares entscheidend sind.
Darüber hinaus soll durch die Aufklärung der genetischen Variante für die charakteristische und sehr rassetypische Lockenbildung beim Mangaliza Wollschwein einen Beitrag zur Arterhaltung dieser bedrohten Rasse geleistet werden.

Mechanisms and impact of NMDA receptor signaling during sensory processing in an echo-locating circuit
Mechanismen und Auswirkungen von NMDA Rezeptoraktivierung während sensorischer Verarbeitung in einem Echolokalisations-Schaltkreis
Project Investigators: Prof. Dr. Felix Felmy
Duration: Novemer 2015 until 2021
Funding: DFG, 199.050 EUR
Project Details:
The role of NMDA receptors in neuronal plasticity is well established. However, their role in intracellular voltage-signaling and sensory processing is less well characterized, yet they are implicated in amplifying action potential firing rates. To understand the cellular basis for this NMDA dependent amplification of firing rate, its influence on sensory processing and the carried sensory information we will perform in vivo and in vitro recordings of neurons in the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (DNLL) - an auditory brainstem structure important for binaural hearing. We will determine the synaptic interactions of excitation and inhibition with NMDA receptor conductances to understand their contributions to intracellular voltage-signaling in vitro. Using in vivo pharmacology we will answer what impact NMDA receptors have on sound driven firing rates. Thereby, the DNLL serves on the one hand as a read out nucleus where the impact of NMDA receptors on relaying binaural information will be quantified. On the other hand we will assay in vivo the direct binaural interactions at the level of the DNLL to understand the influence of NMDA receptors on interactions between inhibition and excitation. We hypothesize that these interactions might be crucial in terminating a long lasting inhibition that is regarded as a cellular correlate for the suppression of sound sources during echoes.

Comparison of claw diagnoses in lame dairy cows from herds with and without "Chronic Disease".
Ein Vergleich von Klauendiagnosen bei lahmen Milchkühen aus Herden mit und ohne dem chronischen Krankheitsgeschehen
Project Investigators: Judith Lohmann; Martina Hoedemaker; Natascha Gundling; Friederike Katharina Stock
Duration: September 2014 until June 2021
Project Details:
Ein unspezifisches chronisches Krankheitsgeschehen wurde mit einer Toxikoinfektion mit Clostridium botulinum (sog. viszeraler/chronischer Botulismus) in Verbindung gebracht. Unter anderem wurde von typischen Lahmheitssymptomen berichtet. In einer Fall-Kontroll-Studie konnte ein Zusammenhang zwischen dem chronischen Krankheitsgeschehen und Clostridium botulinum nicht nachgewiesen werden. Chronisch kranke Tiere aus Kontroll- und Fallbetrieben waren aber vermehrt lahm, wobei die Lahmheit überwiegend durch Erkrankung an den Klauen zustande kam. In vorliegendem Projekt wird untersucht, ob sich lahme Kühe aus Kontroll- und Fallbetrieben hinsichtlich der Diagnosen an den Klauen unterscheiden. In einer Risikofaktorenanalyse wurden weiterhin verschiedene Faktoren aus Haltung, Fütterung und Management auf mögliche Beziehungen zur Anzahl der Klauendiagnosen pro Tier untersucht.

Characterization of the miniature pig population Mini-LEWE
Charakterisierung der Miniaturschweinelinie Mini-LEWE
Project Investigators: Prof. Dr. K.-H. Waldmann; Prof. Dr. O. Distl; PD Dr. Julia Metzger
Duration: 2014 until 2021
Funding: 5.000 EUR
Project Details:
Die Tierärztliche Hochschule Hannover hat von der Landwirtschaftlich-Gärtnerischen Fakultät der Humboldt-Universität Berlin eine Miniaturschweinepopulation (Mini-LEWE) übernommen, die sich vom Göttinger Miniaturschwein unterscheidet. Die Sauen, Eber und deren Nachkommen sollen regelmäßig klinisch und labordiagnostisch hinsichtlich verschiedener Gesundheitsparameter untersucht werden.
Die Anpaarungen werden entsprechend der Abstammung und genetischen Diversität optmimiert.
Die Mini-Lewe Population ist eine sehr wichtige Ressource für biomedizinische Versuche und eine erhaltungswürdie Population.
Die genetische Charakterisierung dieser Population erfolgt über populationsgenetische Kennzahlen zur Verwandtschaft, Inzuchtzunahme, effektive Populationsgröße, Inzuchtgrad und erwartete Inzuchtzunahme. Tiefergehende Analysen beruhen auf genomweiten Markersystemen, Beadchip-Genotypisierungen und Komplettgenomanalysen. Diese Daten geben Einblick in die genomische Architektur, genomische Verwandtschaft, genomische Diversität, Selektionssignaturen und ROH-Inseln.
Für spezifische Versuche werden Haplotypen von Genclustern und Gengruppen charakterisiert, um Tiere für Versuche auswählen zu können.

VetCAb-Sentinel: Longitudinal evaluation of veterinary consumption of antibiotics in food-producing animals in veterinary practices and selected representative farms (participant-Sentinel)
VetCAb-Sentinel: Longitudinale Erfassung von Verbrauchsmengen für Antibiotika bei Lebensmittel liefernden Tieren in ausgewählten repräsentativen Tierarztpraxen und Betrieben (Teilnehmer-Sentinel)
Project Investigators: S. Kasabova; C. Bonzelett; Prof. Dr. L. Kreienbrock
Duration: February 2014 until January 2021
Funding: Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung, Berlin
Project Details:
The project VetCAb (Veterinary Consumption of Antibiotics) is a research project that is carried out to describe the use of antibiotics in farm animals in Germany. In 2007 and 2008 the project was conducted as a feasibility study and subsequently in 2011 a pilot study in a cross-sectional approach. The pilot study not only documented the consumption of antibiotics based on of individual farm information, but also directly related it to the livestock, so that a risk assessment can be realized. This defined a status quo for Germany, which made it possible to determine measures to reduce the use of antibiotics in farm animals.

Building on this, the VetCAb-Sentinel project is continued from 2013 as a longitudinal study with ongoing participant recruitment and data collection. The aim of the study is to evaluate how often the animals are treated with antibiotics during a defined period of time based on the treatment frequency (TF), i.e. # treated animals x # treatment days / # animals per farm. In addition, the study will, among other things, investigate whether regions or farm sizes differ with regard to the use of antibiotics and which classes of active substances are used in German livestock farming. VetCAb-Sentinel thus forms the basis of a scientific risk assessment, which, according to the DART (Deutsche Antibiotika Resistenzstrategie), makes a significant contribution to the reduction of antibiotic resistance.

Effects of hysteroscopic and uterine body insemination on the inflammatory reaction of the equine endometrium
Vergleichende Studie über reaktive Entzündungsprozesse nach endoskopischer Besamung der Stute
Project Investigators: Prof. Dr. Harald Sieme; Tierärztin Franziska Mönnig; Dr. Martin Köhne, Dipl ECAR
Duration: End 2014 until March 2021
Project Details:
Unsere Hypothese ist, dass die endoskopische Besamung im Vergleich zur üblichen manuell-transvaginalen Besamung in den Gebärmutterkörper eine graduell verstärkte reaktive Entzündungsreaktion verursacht. Hierzu soll die reaktive Entzündungsreaktion des Endometriums (mit und ohne Samenübertragung) durch versuchsbegleitende Probengewinnung (Endometriumabstriche für bakteriologische und zytologische Untersuchungen, Uterusbiopsie zur pathohistologischen Untersuchung des Endometriums) verglichen werden.

Systematics of Caribbean Eleutherodactylus frogs (Anura: Eleutherodactylidae)
Systematik Karibischer Eleutherodactylus Frösche
Project Investigators: Dr. Ariel Rodríguez
Duration: 2012 until December 2021
Funding: Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung Mohammed Bin Zayed Species Conservation
Project Details:
The genus Eleutherodactylus, with over 194 known species and a distribution centered in the Caribbean West Indian islands, is the most speciose lineage of the Eleutherodactylidae family. These frogs represent over 80% of the Caribbean amphibian diversity with most of the species being single-island endemics. With the aid of multiple collaborators, this long term research project seeks to: 1) uncover cryptic diversity and define the species limits in the genus Eleutherodactylus by integrating genomic and phenotypic information; 2) elucidate the phylogenetic relationships among the species and related taxa; 3) compare the phenotypes, geographic distributions and evolutionary history across species to identify the factors responsible for the evolutionary diversification of amphibians in an insular scenario; and 4) generalize the results towards the long term conservation of these species.

Zytogenetische Untersuchungen bei verschiedenen Haustierspecies
Project Investigators: Prof. Ottmar Distl
Duration: Beginning 1998 until End 2021
Funding: Private Personen und Kliniken Zuchtverbände, 30.000 EUR
Project Details:
Chromosomenmutationen können die Ursache von Fruchtbarkeitsstörungen, Intersexualität oder Missbildungen bei unseren Haussäugetieren sein. In diesen Fällen kann eine Chromosomendarstellung, zum Beispiel aus den Blutlymphozyten oder aus einer Gewebekultur, zur Klärung der Ursache beitragen.
Neben den klassischen Methoden der Zytogenetik zur Detektion von Chromosomenmutationen bei Einzeltieren werden zudem Gene mittels einer Fluoreszenz in situ Hybridisierung physikalisch am Genom der verschiedenen Spezies kartiert.
