    Abstract The muscular dystrophies caused by dystrophin deficiency, the so-called dystrophinopathies, are associated with impaired cardiac contractility and arrhythmias, which considerably contribute to disease morbidity and mortality. Impaired Ca handling in ventricular cardiomyocytes has been identified as a causative factor for complications in the dystrophic heart, and restoration of normal Ca handling in myocytes has emerged as a promising new therapeutic strategy. In the present study, we explored the hypothesis that ivabradine, a drug clinically approved for the treatment of heart failure and stable angina pectoris, improves Ca handling in dystrophic cardiomyocytes and thereby enhances contractile performance in the dystrophic heart. Therefore, ventricular cardiomyocytes were isolated from the hearts of adult dystrophin-deficient DMD

    Abstract Ubiquitination plays a central role in the regulation of various biological functions including immune responses. Ubiquitination is induced by a cascade of enzymatic reactions by E1 ubiquitin activating enzyme, E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme, and E3 ubiquitin ligase, and reversed by deubiquitinases. Depending on the enzymes, specific linkage types of ubiquitin chains are generated or hydrolyzed. Because different linkage types of ubiquitin chains control the fate of the substrate, understanding the regulatory mechanisms of ubiquitin enzymes is central. In this review, we highlight the most recent knowledge of ubiquitination in the immune signaling cascades including the T cell and B cell signaling cascades as well as the TNF signaling cascade regulated by various ubiquitin enzymes. Furthermore, we highlight the TRIM ubiquitin ligase family as one of the examples of critical E3 ubiquitin ligases in the regulation of immune responses.

    Abstract Cardiac arrhythmias significantly contribute to mortality in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a degenerative muscle disease triggered by mutations in the gene encoding for the intracellular protein dystrophin. A major source for the arrhythmias in patients with DMD is impaired ventricular impulse conduction, which predisposes for ventricular asynchrony, decreased cardiac output, and the development of reentrant mechanisms. The reason for ventricular conduction impairments and the associated arrhythmias in the dystrophic heart has remained unidentified. In the present study, we explored the hypothesis that dystrophin-deficient cardiac Purkinje fibers have reduced Na

    Abstract Autophagy has an important role in cellular homeostasis by degrading and recycling cytotoxic components. Ubiquitination is known to target cargoes for autophagy; however, key components of this pathway remain elusive. Here we performed an RNAi screen to uncover ubiquitin modifiers that are required for starvation-induced macroautophagy in mammalian cells. Our screen uncovered BRUCE/Apollon/Birc6, an IAP protein, as a new autophagy regulator. Depletion of BRUCE leads to defective fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes. Mechanistically, BRUCE selectively interacts with two ATG8 members GABARAP and GABARAPL1, as well as with Syntaxin 17, which are all critical regulators of autophagosome-lysosome fusion. In addition, BRUCE colocalizes with LAMP2. Interestingly, a non-catalytic N-terminal BRUCE fragment that is sufficient to bind GABARAP/GABARAPL1 and Syntaxin 17, and to colocalize with LAMP2, rescues autolysosome formation in Bruce

    Abstract Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae)infections are the leading cause of child mortality globally. Currentvaccines fail to induceaprotective immune response towards a conserved part of the pathogen,resulting in newserotypescausing disease. Therefore, new vaccinestrategies are urgently needed.Described is atwo-pronged approach combiningS. pneumoniaeproteins, pneumolysin (Ply) and pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA),with aprecisely defined synthetic oligosaccharide,wherebythe carrier protein actsas a serotype-independent antigen to provideadditional protection. Proof of concept in mice and swine modelsrevealed thatthe conjugatesinhibited colonization of the nasopharynx, decreased the bacterial load and reduced disease severity in the bacteria challenge model. Immunization of piglets provided the first evidence for the immunogenicity and protective potential of synthetic glycoconjugate vaccine in a large animal model.Acombination of synthetic oligosaccharides with proteins from the target pathogen opens the path to create broadly cross-protective ("universal") pneumococcal vaccines.

    Abstract Besides skeletal muscle abnormalities, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients present with dilated cardiomyopathy development, which considerably contributes to morbidity and mortality. Because the mechanisms responsible for the cardiac complications in the context of DMD are largely unknown, evidence-based therapy approaches are still lacking. This has increased the need for basic research efforts into animal models for DMD. Here, we characterized in detail the cardiovascular abnormalities of
