    Abstract Q fever in humans is caused by Coxiella (C.) burnetii. In 2008 and 2012, cases of Q fever in humans were linked to an infected flock of approximately 650 ewes. Since 2013 gimmers (G'13, G'14, G'15 etc.) were primary vaccinated (two doses) with an inactivated C.burnetii vaccine without any revaccination. In 2013, 30 ewes were primary vaccinated (A'13). Shedding was annually monitored by qPCR-testing of vaginal and nasal swabs collected at lambing. Animals were tested for Phase I- (PhI) and PhII-antibodies (Ab) and for PhII-specific-interferon-γ (IFN-γ) before and after vaccination. The effect of a revaccination was determined in 2018 and 2023. Groups of randomly selected gimmers primary vaccinated in 2015, 2016 and 2017 and a mixed group of older animals (A'13, G'13 and G'14) were revaccinated once in 2018. The trial was repeated in 2023 on groups primary vaccinated in 2019-2023. Major shedding after the outbreak in 2012 ceased in 2014. Thereafter C.burnetii was only sporadically detected at low-level in 2018, 2021 and 2023. Sheep naturally exposed to C.burnetii during the outbreak in 2012 (A'13, G'13) mounted a strong and complete (PhI, PhII, IFN-γ) recall immune response after vaccination. A serological PhI

    Abstract Coxiella (C.) burnetii, a Gram-negative intracellular bacterium, causes Q fever in humans and Coxiellosis in animals. Ruminants are a primary source of human infection with C.burnetii. In 2013, vaccination was implemented in a sheep flock with 650 ewes associated with two outbreaks of Q fever in humans in 2008 and 2012. Only gimmers (yearlings) received two doses of a commercial C.burnetii phase I whole cell vaccine three weeks apart (primary vaccination) without any revaccination. Vaginal and nasal swabs collected shortly after lambing were tested by qPCR. Additionally, a group of non-vaccinated sentinels was serologically monitored for phase I (PhI), II (PhII) antibodies and for Interferon γ (IFN-γ) after stimulation of whole blood cells with PhII-antigen with and without an IL-10-neutralizing monoclonal antibody. In 2021, 679 sera collected in 2014–2021 were retested retrospectively with three commercial ELISA kits and one batch of an in-house PhI/PhII-ELISA. A low-level shedding of C.burnetii (<10³ mean C.burnetii/swab) was observed until 2014. In 2021 C.burnetii was detected in two animals (<10³.¹C.burnetii/swab), but vaginal swabs collected at two subsequent lambing seasons remained negative. Seroconversion of sentinels was detected until 2017. However, the retrospective analysis of sentinels in 2021 revealed additional single seropositive animals from 2018 to 2021. IFN-γ reactivity was observed during the whole study period; it peaked in 2014 and in 2018 and decreased thereafter. The sporadic detection of C.burnetii and the immune responses of sentinels suggested that a subliminal infection persisted despite vaccination. Nevertheless, vaccination of gimmers prevented the development of a major outbreak, it controlled the infection and reduced the risk of human infection.

    Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) as the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the Western world is of great interest for the clinic and for scientific research. An effective treatment and molecular markers for the agressive, hormone-refractory form of the cancer are still missing. During the last years, microRNAs, small regulatory non-coding RNAs (\'1822nt), involved in post-transcriptional regulation of mRNAs, have become an important study field of molecular biology and there are many microRNAs known to be associated with different cancers. However, only few microRNAs are reported for PCa. In this study global microRNA profiling of different prostate cancer cell lines and a nonmalignant prostate epithelial cell line was used to identify microRNAs that are deregulated in PCa. In a subsequent analysis in non-malignant prostate tissue and tumor samples of different progression stages, we found miR-130a, miR-203, and miR-205 to be most significantly downregulated in PCa. Reconstitution of these microRNAs induced cell growth arrest caused by apoptosis (miR-130a, miR-203) or cell cycle arrest (miR-203, miR-205), which was even stronger, if the microRNAs were concomitantly reconstituted. Using four different target identification approaches, most targets were found to be associated with the androgen receptor (AR) signaling pathway, the central pathway for PCa initiation and growth. These included AR coregulators, as well as members of the MAPK pathway, a known ligand-independent activator pathway of the AR. We conclude from this study that the microRNAs -130a, -203, and -205 act as tumor suppressors in PCa cells, by negatively regulating AR coactivators. This may have therapeutic implications in particular for castration resistant PCa.
