    Content: Antibiotic crisis – Back to the start A famous quote of Charles Darwin reads: It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change." Every living creature is evolving, is adapting to changes of the environment, all the time. With the discovery of antibiotics physicians found, adapted and refined powerful compounds to efficiently kill bacteria. The overuse of antibiotics will eventually render the same useless, as we can observe already right now. Against all logic and warnings antibiotics are still being used carelessly and are expelled to the environment in large quantities. Quorum quenching (QQ) strategies with the acylase PvdQ could be an alternative or addition to conventional antibiotics. The goal of this treatment is to attenuate virulence factors and hinder the formation of biofilms. The clearance of the infection will be performed by the immune system of the host or with the help of antibacterial compounds. Applications of QQ enzymes could be the functionalization of various medical relevant surfaces to mediate anti biofilm properties. We demonstrated in this work that the QQ enzyme PvdQ has indeed the potential to be used against A. baumannii, and P. aeruginosa infections in vitro and in vivo. The potential of QQEs justifies to put more effort in research and refinement of this technique and eventually QQ treatment approaches could offer powerful tools to fight bacterial infections in the future."

    Content: Die Akkumulation von Leukozyten in Gefäßen von Entzündungsherden und deren Migration in das betroffene Gewebe ist ein kaskadenartiger Prozeß, der von verschiedenen Zell-Adhäsionsmolekülen vermittelt wird. Dabei bewirken die Selektine, eine Familie von drei Ca++-abhängigen kohlenhydratbindenden Proteinen, in einem initialen Schritt das sogenannte "Tethering" und Leukozytenrollen entlang der Gefäßwandung im vaskularen Scherstrom. Durch diese zentrale Rolle in der Immunabwehr sind die Selektine attraktive Zielstrukturen bei der Suche nach einer neuartigen antiinflammatorischen Therapie. Die schwachaffinen Selektin-Ligand-Bindungen sind durch ihre schnellen Assoziations- und Dissoziationseigenschaften für den Zellrollvorgang verantwortlich. Für die entsprechenden Bindungskräfte wird ein multivalentes Anbinden von vielen lokal konzentrierten Adhäsionsmolekülen angenommen (Multivalenzhypothese). Dennoch sind die dynamischen Eigenschaften des Zellrollens und die molekularen Mechanismen der Selektinbindung noch nicht vollständig verstanden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein in-vitro Modellsystem vorgestellt, mit dessen Hilfe die für den Rollvorgang relevanten molekularen Parameter untersucht werden. Dabei werden planare Biomodellmembranen mit inkorporierten und dabei lateral strukturierten Kohlenhydratliganden auf Glasträger aufgebracht. Sie simulieren somit innerhalb einer Durchflußkammer endotheliale Oberflächen. Die Wechselwirkungen von selektintragenden Zellen mit diesen Oberflächen im laminaren Flüssigkeitsstrom werden mittels konfokaler Laser-Scanning Mikroskopie detektiert. Durch die Verwendung verschiedener Glykolipidliganden mit dem Tetrasaccharid Sialyl Lewisx als Kopfgruppe konnte gezeigt werden, daß diese vereinfachten Strukturen in der Lage sind, ein Zellrollen zu vermitteln. Der Anteil der rollenden Zellen und deren Geschwindigkeit hängt dabei empfindlich von der Glykolipidkonzentration und dem Schergrad des Fließmediums ab. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß eine laterale Konzentrierung (Clusterung) der Glykolipide innerhalb der Modellmembran eine Voraussetzung für den Rollprozeß darstellt. Damit wurde die Multivalenzhypothese bestätigt. Darüber hinaus ist die vorgestellte Modellanordnung für die Suche nach löslichen potentiellen Selektininhibitoren geeignet. Durch die dynamischen Untersuchungsbedingungen wird man der physiologischen Funktion der Selektine im Rollvorgang gerecht. Deshalb erscheinen die dabei gewonnenen Daten realistischer als in einem klassischen statischen Zellbindungsassay.
    Content: The accumulation of leukocytes in the vasculature at inflammatory sites and their migration into the local tissue is a multistep process, which is mediated by various cell adhesion molecules. Among these, selectins, a family of three Ca++-dependent carbohydrate-binding proteins, initiate leukocyte tethering and rolling along the vessel wall in the vascular shear flow. Actually, their central role in the immune defence make selectins attractive targets for a new antiinflammatory therapy. The low affine selectine-ligand bonds with their rapid assoziation and dissoziation properties should mediate the rolling interaction. Furthermore, a multivalent binding of several local concentrated ligands and receptors have been hypothesized to be essential for leukocyte binding. Nevertheless, the dynamics of cell rolling and the molecular mechanisms of selectin binding their complex oligosaccharid ligands have not been fully elucidated. We therefore introduced a dynamic model system to investigate the molecular mechanisms of selectin bindings. Inside a flow-chamber, support-fixed membranes at glass slides with a defined lateral distribution of carbohydrate ligands were used as model for the vascular surface. Their interactions with selectin-containing cells in a shear rate of a flow chamber were analyzed with a confocal laser scanning microscope. Using various glycolipid ligands bearing the binding epitope Sialyl Lewisx we could show that one class of selectins alone is able to mediate cell rolling without other cell adhesion molecules. Contrary to the natural glycoprotein ligands we performed binding studies with glycolipids. Therefore we conclude that the epitope Sialyl Lewisx is able to mediate cell rolling. The fraction of rolling cells and their rolling velocity can sensitively balanced by the ligand concentration in the membrane and by the shear force. A lateral concentration (clustering) of ligands in the membrane could be illustrated as a prerequesite for rolling interactions, thus supporting the hypothesis of multivalency of binding. Additionally, the system is suitable to check the inhibitory potency of soluble compounds. Due to dynamic conditions in the flow chamber the cell binding interactions are detected under physiological conditions of rolling leukocytes. Therefore our results are discusssed more reliable than in static cell-binding-assays.
