    Abstract While the involvement of thermosensitive transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) in dry eye disease (DED) has been known for years, their expression in the meibomian gland (MG) has never been investigated. This study aims to show their expression and involvement in the lipogenesis of the MG, providing a possible new drug target in the treatment of DED. Our RT-PCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence analysis showed the expression of

    Abstract The G protein-coupled receptor, MAS, is the receptor of the endogenous ligand, Angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7). It is a promising drug target since the Ang-(1-7)/MAS axis is protective in the cardiovascular system. Therefore, a characterization of MAS signalling is important for developing novel therapeutics for cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, we show that Ang-(1-7) increases intracellular calcium in transiently MAS-transfected HEK293 cells. The calcium influx induced by the activation of MAS is dependent on plasma membrane Ca

    Abstract Für eine optimale visuelle Funktion ist eine Augenoberfläche mit einem vitalen Epithelverband und stabilen Tränenfilm erforderlich. Eine Vielzahl von endogenen und externen Faktoren kann die empfindliche Homöostase der Augenoberfläche beeinflussen und zu einem „trockenen Auge“ führen. Studien im letzten Jahrzehnt haben gezeigt, dass Ca 2+ ein wichtiger Faktor bei der Kontrolle der Epithelfunktion der Augenoberfläche ist. Dabei konnten insbesondere transiente Rezeptorpotenzialkanäle (TRPs) als wichtige Komponenten in Hornhaut- und Bindehautzellen identifiziert werden. Die TRPs sind nicht selektive Kationenkanäle, die als molekulare Sensoren wärme-, nozi- bzw. osmosensibel sind. Unsere Ca 2+ -Imaging- und Patch-Clamp-Studien zeigen, dass die Aktivität von 2 TRP-Isoformen, TRPV1 und TRPM8, durch Änderungen der Osmolarität, der Außentemperatur und einiger endogener Substrate moduliert werden kann. Diese TRPs werden sowohl an nicht neuronalen als auch an neuronalen Hornhautzellen exprimiert. Darüber hinaus beeinflussen diese Wechselwirkungen die Expression von Zytokinen, die inflammatorische Prozesse fördern oder hemmen und damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Physiologie des Trockenen Auges leisten. Zusammengenommen führen diese Ergebnisse nicht nur zu einem besseren Verständnis der Pathophysiologie von Schmerz- und Entzündungsreaktionen der Augenoberfläche. Diese Studien können auch neue Wege aufzeigen, um die Pathophysiologie der Krankheit zu verstehen und die Entwicklung neuer therapeutischer Angriffspunkte beim Syndrom des Trockenen Auges fördern.

    Abstract The G protein-coupled receptor, MAS, is the receptor of the endogenous ligand, Angiotensin (Ang)-(1−7). It is a promising drug target since the Ang-(1−7)/MAS axis is protective in the cardiovascular system. Therefore, a characterization of MAS signalling is important for developing novel therapeutics for cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, we show that Ang-(1−7) increases intracellular calcium in transiently MAS-transfected HEK293 cells. The calcium influx induced by the activation of MAS is dependent on plasma membrane Ca²⁺ channels, phospholipase C, and protein kinase C. Specifically, we could demonstrate that MAS employs non-selective, transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) for calcium entry.

    Title translation Neurotrophic keratopathy : Principles, diagnostics and treatment.
    Abstract Corneal nerves are responsible for the reception of pain, temperature, and touch and are an important component of homeostasis of the ocular surface. When the corneal innervation is reduced, degenerative changes can be manifested as neurotrophic keratopathy (NK). In a stage-dependent course, corneal epithelial alterations and ulcers may occur, even leading to perforation. The cause of NK is predominantly damage to the trigeminal nerve, which can be caused by infections (especially herpesviruses), metabolic diseases (such as diabetes mellitus) and by surgical procedures. The diagnosis of NK requires a detailed medical and ocular history, assessment of corneal sensitivity, and a complete ocular examination. The treatment of NK is oriented to the clinical severity and aims to restore the integrity of the ocular surface in order to prevent further disease progression.
