    Abstract In search of novel genes associated with glioma pathogenesis, we have previously shown frequent deletions of the KIAA1797/FOCAD gene in malignant gliomas, and a tumor suppressor function of the encoded focadhesin impacting proliferation and migration of glioma cells in vitro and in vivo. Here, we examined an association of reduced FOCAD gene copy number with overall survival of patients with astrocytic gliomas, and addressed the molecular mechanisms that govern the suppressive effect of focadhesin on glioma growth. FOCAD loss was associated with inferior outcome in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 or 2 (IDH)-mutant astrocytic gliomas of WHO grades II-IV. Multivariate analysis considering age at diagnosis as well as IDH mutation, MGMT promoter methylation, and CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion status confirmed reduced FOCAD gene copy number as a prognostic factor for overall survival. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen and pull-down assays, tubulin beta-6 and other tubulin family members were identified as novel focadhesin-interacting partners. Tubulins and focadhesin co-localized to centrosomes where focadhesin was enriched in proximity to centrioles. Focadhesin was recruited to microtubules via its interaction partner SLAIN motif family member 2 and reduced microtubule assembly rates, possibly explaining the focadhesin-dependent decrease in cell migration. During the cell cycle, focadhesin levels peaked in G2/M phase and influenced time-dependent G2/M progression potentially via polo like kinase 1 phosphorylation, providing a possible explanation for focadhesin-dependent cell growth reduction. We conclude that FOCAD loss may promote biological aggressiveness and worsen clinical outcome of diffuse astrocytic gliomas by enhancing microtubule assembly and accelerating G2/M phase progression.

    Abstract Einleitung – Worum es geht -- Nachhaltigkeit -- Kulturpflanze Hanf -- UN- Ziele (SDG) einer Nachhaltigen Entwicklung -- Was ist zu tun?.

    Die Cannabispflanze könnte als Nutzhanf besser als bisher gedacht dazu beitragen, die Ziele des UN-Nachhaltigkeits-Reports, der sog. Agenda 2030 und deren 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), zu erreichen. Unter dem Gesundheitsaspekt steht ihre medizinische Verwendung im Vordergrund, doch wird sie auch in kosmetischen Produkten und in Nahrungsangeboten für Mensch und Tier eingesetzt. Im Rahmen der zunehmenden Klimakrise hilft Nutzhanf vor allem bei der Bewältigung des CO2 Problems: in der Landwirtschaft durch Bindung des CO2 ähnlich wie bei der Aufforstung, in der Industrie als recyclebarer Rohstoff-Ersatz etwa als Plastik-Ersatz, bei der Kleidung, in der Technik oder im Bauwesen. Momentan zeigen die immensen Preise und die hohe Nachfrage leider ein anderes Bild, vom Bürger, der möchte, aber nicht kann oder darf, von Bauern, die immense bürokratische Hürden zu überwinden haben, bis hin zu einer Industrie, die durch komplexe Regeln und Gesetze abgeschreckt wird zu investieren. Das essential zeigt, wie man dieses Potential auch in Deutschland realisieren könnte. Der Inhalt Die Pflanze Cannabis Sativa L. Der nachhaltige Nutzen von Hanf Die möglichen Folgen wirtschaftlicher Nutzung Die vier Grundbedingungen für eine Legalisierung Der Autor Jonas M. Westphal hat bereits während seines Logistik-Studiums Vorträge über die Sinnhaftigkeit der Legalisierung von Cannabis in Deutschland und Europa gehalten. Durch die geweckte Neugierde an der Pflanze Cannabis Sativa L. vernetzte er sich mit dem pensionierten Cannabis-Experten Prof. Stephan Quensel von der Universität Bremen, Autor von „Das Elend der Suchtprävention“, der auch das Geleitwort schrieb.

    Abstract M cells, specialized cells within Peyer's patches (PPs), are reduced in number in chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6)-deficient mice. The pathogenic microorganism Yersinia enterocolitica exploits M cells for the purpose of mucosal tissue invasion exclusively through PPs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the course of yersiniosis in CCR6-deficient mice and to investigate whether these mice might be used as an in vivo model to determine M-cell function. After oral challenge with Y. enterocolitica, control mice suffered from lethal septic infection whereas CCR6-deficient mice showed very limited symptoms of infection. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated PP invasion by Y. enterocolitica in control mice whereas no bacteria could be found in CCR6-deficient mice. In addition, a significant induction of proinflammatory cytokines could be found in control mice whereas proinflammatory cytokine levels in CCR6-deficient mice remained unchanged. In contrast, intraperitoneal infection resulted in severe systemic yersiniosis in both mouse groups. Abrogated oral Y. enterocolitica infection in CCR6-deficient mice demonstrates the importance of CCR6 expression in the physiological and pathological immune responses generated within PPs by influencing M-cell differentiation, underscoring the important role of M cells in the process of microbial uptake. CCR6-deficient mice may therefore represent a suitable model for the study of M-cell function in vivo.

    Abstract The chemokine Mip3alpha is specifically expressed by the follicle-associated epithelia (FAE) covering intestinal Peyer's patches (PPs) and is the only known chemokine ligand for the chemokine receptor CCR6. Although CCR6-deficient mice are known to have a perturbed intestinal immune system, little is known about the specific impact of this interaction for Peyer's patch formation. To elucidate the effect of Mip3alpha on PP lymphocyte development, we used a CCR6/enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) knock-in mouse model and analyzed lymphocyte development by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. PPs of CCR6-/- mice were significantly size-reduced with a proportional loss of B cells and T cells, whereas T-cell subsets were disturbed with a decreased CD4/CD8 ratio paralleled with a loss of regulatory CD4+ CD45Rb(low) T cells. The analysis of cytokine production by CCR6-expressing cells could demonstrate that CCR6 is involved in the regulation of cytokine secretion such as interleukin-12 by dendritic cells. Quantification of UEA-1+ cells inside the FAE showed reduced M-cell numbers in CCR6-deficient mice. These results suggest that the interaction of CCR6 with its ligand Mip3alpha is important for immune responses generated inside the PPs, particularly for the generation of regulatory CD4+ T cells residing inside PPs and for the formation of M cells.
