Jeden Tag eine frische Unterhose – das gehört zur Werkseinstellung eines Erwachsenen. DACHTEN wir. Und dann kam diese Umfrage, Ende 2023: Jeder vierte Mann lässt den Wechselturnus hin und wieder schleifen und zieht nur jeden zweiten Tag ein frisches Höschen an. Oder jeden dritten. Ist das Thema Nachhaltigkeit an dieser Stelle wirklich gut platziert? Oder gibt es nicht doch gute Gründe, mindestens alle 24 Stunden nach frischer Wäsche zu kramen? Hygienestandards sind offensichtlich ganz unterschiedlich verteilt. Die einen rubbeln sich täglich zwei Mal unter der Dusche die obere Epidermis klinisch rein, die anderen lassen halt auch mal schleifen. Oder machen sowas wie „No Bathing“ – kein Deo, kein Duschgel, und nur einmal die Woche unter die Dusche springen. Wie viel Hygiene ist zu viel, wann muss man mal nachwischen, und machen wir uns vielleicht völlig umsonst verrückt? Das haben wir Dr. Iris Chaberny gefragt, Leiterin des Instituts für Krankenhaus- und Umwelthygiene am Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein. Eigentlich gibt es nur einen Grund für einen regelmäßigen Unterwäschewechsel, sagt Frau Dr. Chaberny, und der ist von sozialer Natur. Wer unangenehm riecht, hats im Kollegen- und Freundeskreis einfach schwerer. Krank wird man von Schweißrändern und Müffelbuxen eher nicht. Für Dominik Bloh war eine warme Dusche lange purer Luxus. 11 Jahre war der Hamburger obdachlos. Heute schreibt er Bücher und hat „Go Banyo“ gegründet. Ein umgebauter Linienbus mit 3 kleinen Bädern, in denen Wohnungslose eine viertel Stunde hinter sich abschließen und heiß duschen können. Denn wer sich nicht waschen kann, erzählt Dominik, der vereinsamt. Wer nicht gut riecht, bekommt keine Wohnung, macht keine Behördengänge, der isoliert sich und verliert seine Würde.

E., Simpson, C. L. Abstract: Mutation of the ATP2A2 gene encoding sarco-endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 2 (SERCA2) was linked to Darier disease more than two decades ago; however, there remain no targeted therapies for this disorder causing recurrent skin blistering and infections. Since Atp2a2 knockout mice do not phenocopy its pathology, we established a human tissue model of Darier disease to elucidate its pathogenesis and identify potential therapies. Leveraging CRISPR/Cas9, we generated human keratinocytes lacking SERCA2, which replicated features of Darier disease, including weakened intercellular adhesion and defective differentiation in organotypic epidermis. To identify pathogenic drivers downstream of SERCA2 depletion, we performed RNA sequencing and proteomic analysis. SERCA2-deficient keratinocytes lacked desmosomal and cytoskeletal proteins required for epidermal integrity and exhibited excess MAP kinase signaling, which modulates keratinocyte adhesion and differentiation. Immunostaining patient biopsies substantiated these findings with lesions showing keratin deficiency, cadherin mis-localization, and ERK hyper-phosphorylation. Dampening ERK activity with MEK inhibitors rescued adhesive protein expression and restored keratinocyte sheet integrity despite SERCA2 depletion or chemical inhibition. In sum, coupling multi-omic analysis with human organotypic epidermis as a pre-clinical model, we found that SERCA2 haploinsufficiency disrupts critical adhesive components in keratinocytes via ERK signaling and identified MEK inhibition as a treatment strategy for Darier disease.

Abstract: Spectrins are highly conserved molecules that form a distinct membrane associated periodic scaffold within axons thought to provide mechanical resilience. In C. elegans, UNC-70/{beta}-Spectrin also functions outside the nervous system, within the epidermis, to maintain the integrity of sensory neurons. The precise molecular organization and cellular mechanisms that mediate this protection are unknown. Here, using 3D-structured illumination microscopy, we show that within the epidermis spectrins form a crescent-shaped scaffold with a periodicity of ~ 200 nm that embraces adjacent axons. This epidermal spectrin scaffold is induced by developing axons and reformed during axonal regeneration, and creates a molecular imprint of the adjacent nervous system. Disruption of this epidermal scaffold causes widespread axonal damage in sensory and motor neurons. These findings reveal the existence of a distinct and periodic spectrin framework within the epidermis that is molded by the developing nervous system and is necessary to protect it from mechanical damage.

Our skin is an incredibly important, multifunctional organ. It has many different functions including helping us maintain our body temperature, it assists with the excretion of water and toxins, and most importantly, protective mechanism of acting as a barrier. But in newborns, especially preterm infants, there are developmental differences in the anatomy and physiology of their skin that place them at an increased risk for skin injury. Not only is the immaturity of an infant's skin problematic, but infants in the NICU are predisposed to skin trauma due to the life-saving monitors and equipment necessary for their care. Furthermore, infants with compromised skin integrity are at an increased risk for infection, excess water loss, absorption of toxic substances, and additional sequelae. On this episode, we review the basic anatomy of our skin and all of its important functions. We discuss how the skin of a term and preterm infants differs from adults and why the structural variations place infants at an increased risk for skin trauma and additional complications. The episode will be beneficial for parents of infants, especially preterm infants or those in the NICU to understand why their infant is at an increased risk for compromised skin integrity. NICU clinicians will also hear a great reminder of the anatomical and physiologic variations in infants that place them at an increased risk for skin injury.

Dr. Elizabeth Dinsdale, Matthew Flinders Fellow in Marine Biology in the College of Science and Engineering at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, uses genomic techniques to investigate the biodiversity of microbial communities in distinct ecological niches, including coral reefs, kelp forest and shark epidermis. She discusses how shotgun metagenomics is being used to characterize the architecture of microbial communities living in the thin layer of underlying mucus on shark's skin, and how understanding the function of these microbes is providing clues to important host-microbe interactions, including heavy metal tolerance. Ashley's Biggest Takeaways: Sharks belong to a subclass of cartilaginous fish called elasmobranchs and are unique in that their epidermises are covered in dermal denticles—overlapping tooth-like structures that reduce drag and turbulence, helping the shark to move quickly and quietly through the water. These dermal denticles are sharp (if you're going to pet a shark, make sure you go from the head to the tail to avoid getting cut!), and depending on the species of shark, may be more or less spread out across the epidermis. Where do microbes enter the story? Dermal denticles overlay a thin layer of mucus, which provides a distinctive environment for microbial life. Collecting microbial samples from underneath a shark's dermal denticles is quite difficult, and the technique varies by shark species (shark size, water depth and ability to bite all factor into the equation). Liz's team uses a specially designed tool that the group affectionately calls a “supersucker,” to create and capture a slurry of microbes and water for analysis. The team then uses shotgun metagenomics to identify and characterize the microbes in their collected samples. Sequencing has revealed biogeographical difference, as well as similarities in microbial architecture of whale sharks across the globe. There are 2 populations of whale sharks—one in the Atlantic Ocean and the other in the Indian Pacific Ocean. Samples collected from both populations have revealed that each individual whale shark, from within each aggregation, shares many of the same microbes. In fact, unlike algae which may share 1 to 2 microbial species, whale sharks share about 80% of microbes across every individual. Since many of the sharks don't cross aggregations, Liz's team is investigating the possibility of coevolution between microbes and hosts. Metagenomic sequencing also provides information about the function of the sequenced microbes. High presence of heavy metal-tolerant microbes has been found in the epidermis of all shark species that the team has analyzed. Sharks are known to carry high levels of heavy metals in their skin, muscle and even blood. However, muscle tissue samples contain lower concentrations than skin, indicating that there may be a density gradient in place, and raising questions about how microbes might be involved in this regulation. Is there a pathway by which the microbes metabolize and help to remove concentrations of heavy metals across the epidermis? Liz and her team are hoping to find out.

“OK, I mean this is an item that you're laying your entire EPIDERMIS on every single night. Wash your sheets by themselves” -JasonJoin Brigid and Elizabeth as they learn all of the things they've been doing “insufficiently” when it comes to laundry, and more importantly, how to tackle the task correctly.  Jason Ramos, guru of all things house and home, joins the gals for a very illuminating chat discussing everything from mastering the basic steps of laundry (pre-wash, wash, dry) to why you might not be getting the detergent completely rinsed or it takes for-ev-er for your load to dry! And also, pop over to our Instagram to see Jason fold the perfect fitted sheet. Jason's tips: Pre-Wash: Sort by color, then by use/size. Like colors + fabrics wash together. Whites = higher temp. Darks=cold. Large/bulky = wash alone. Wash: Temps are cold, warm, hot. Modes are delicate, permanent press, regular. Hot = anything you want to sanitize (sheets, towels, etc.) Cold = color-rich, dark clothes made of cotton or woven natural fabric. Delicate = bras, silks, fragile items. Regular = everything else! Dry: Different clothes require different drying! Drying rack = delicate sweaters, bras, loosely woven fabrics. Dryer = most things. Sunlight & fresh air = Jason's pick for drying anything!

Nuestro capitulo de hoy lo dedicamos a hablar sobre: Rejuvenecimiento facial sin cirugía con Bioestimuladores y Hifu con el Cirujano Plástico, Rubén Pérez Parra (Dr.PerezParra). El tratamiento con bioestimuladoores es un combinado inyectable denominado Sculptra (ÁcidoPolilaptico), de @Sofimedical_Ve, que se aplica con el fin de estimular la regeneración de los tejidos y la síntesis de colágeno. Gracias a este tratamiento "anti-edad" se activan y revitalizan los procesos metabólicos de la dermis. El objetivo es restaurar los componentes estructurales de la dermis reduciendo la flacidez, potenciando la tersura y la elasticidad y reduciendo los signos del envejecimiento de la piel. Por su parte el Hifu, es un equipo de “Hight Intensify Focused Ultrasound” o Ultrasonido Focalizado de Alta Intensidad, que como su nombre mismo lo indica es un tratamiento basado en ultrasonido que focaliza la energía en un solo punto para actuar de forma precisa. Su fin es generar un calentamiento controlado en el tejido y actuar directamente en el nivel del “Sistema Músculo Aponerótico Superficial”, es decir, la membrana que recubre los músculos de la cara. Cuando se produce ese calentamiento interno, se da una contracción inmediata de las fibras de colágeno existentes, así como la neocolagénesis y elastogénesis a medio plazo a la vez que permite incidir en todos los niveles: Epidermis, dermis superficial y profunda. Se producen micro lesiones que aumentarán la capacidad de regeneración natural de los tejidos. Los resultados del tratamiento inmediato es una mejora visible de la piel pero cuando realmente se apreciaran es a partir de los 21 días que es el momento en el que se generará el nuevo colágeno, pasado 1 mes, la piel mejora el aspecto y textura, se aprecia más clara, el tejido se ve más compacto y se percibe un ligero lifting.

In this episode, Laura and John from Herb Tech Pharmaceuticals join the podcast to discuss their new line of CBD topicals with Penetrating Topical CBD Phase-change Technology designed to be absorbed rapidly, provide relief and enhance your lifestyle. I enjoyed hearing about how their business got started and the passion this company has for bringing to market products that are first class. They have six different topicals, each infused with 1000 mg of CBD, and dose controlled so a pump delivers 20 mg. A bit of information how Herb Tech Pharmaceuticals came about: "Our development took a different pathway and having been focused on the pharmaceutical sector, specifically with drug delivery technology, and in fact, working with a specialty pharmaceutical development company in Boston mass that works on transdermal drug delivery technology, thought that the application of principles developed there with that technology could be directly applicable for CBD. One of the big problems obviously with CBD is that if you smoke it with all the problems with COVID-19 and everything else, obviously smoking is harmful to the lungs. If you are ingesting it, the onset of it is terrible and you've got to push the active components through the walls, into your stomach then you have first pass liver first effect and thereafter, in which case it's highly inefficient and can be problematic as well. Topicals and transdermals is could be an interesting pathway, it's safe, but you need technology to be able to get the CBD to the receptors, cannabidiol receptors. And when Laura approached me and said, Gee, is there a way we could use the technology or develop other technology that would allow us to create a company that could effectively create products to have the benefits of the CBD and other botanicals as well, but the advanced technology that allowed the CBD and the botanicals to interact much more efficiently with the human body, that's how our tech was born. We function on the same focus as really a pharmaceutical business, but just applied to CBD in botanicals."Laura goes on to explain further: "So currently, CBD, there's so many health benefits to it, we all know it. However, the side effects of current delivery methods don't overcome the benefits of the CBD. Smoking, the amount of CBD that's needed to ingest to have an effect, because again, as John mentioned, when your stomach sort of chews up most of the CBD in your stomach, you're actually getting very little into your system. And then there's a side effects of having such a high dose that you're having to take. So there's stomach upset. There's onset of action, it can have effect in 10 minutes, or it can be six hours, right? It's very unpredictable. So those two methods, they weren't efficient and they weren't working. So we said Wow, why can't we take all the wellness of botanicals, not just CBD, all herbal extracts, and really make them more effective, because we all want to use nature. But we have to be able to receive that nature, to receive it safely through the skin, which again, will not happen unless you have some sort of emulsion technology, it will just sit on the outer layer of the skin, that dead skin and it won't have an effect internally. So we're trying to create something that's only effective, but it's safe, and we've priced it so people can afford it. So I'm really excited to introduce this line of products to folks."Check out the video on our phase change technology: https://herbtechpharma.com/technology/Laura continues with a description of their product line: "There are a lot of products out there, one size fits all, take CBD for everything. Herbal extracts can help you in certain lifestyle situations throughout your day. So we created six different need states with other botanicals infused in this delivery system. One is "be sleepy" with melatonin, chamomile, lavender "be calm" with a St. John's wort. We have "be active" with white willow, which is a precursor to aspirin, for you know to put on muscles and joints. We have a "be intimate" which is very different. And that's again infused with Red Ginseng. We have "be healthy" and to "be empowered". And again all these are not just infused with botanicals but this is something that we're very proud of. 1000 Mg's of CBD hemp extract, and again just because someone says they have 1000 mg of extract You have no idea how much CBD is in that extract. You have no idea unless the manufacturer tells you and we tell you on our labels 80 to 95% pure, and then you go to our website, there's a QR code on our bottles. We're very proud of our labels, we're very clear and precise instructions. We again tell you there's 20 mgs per pump."On their very thorough manufacturing, testing, certification and validation process : "What we do is we actually contract with the CBD supplier, and we make sure that under contract, we have a guaranteed amount of CBD actually in it because the other missing link to this whole thing whether it's full spectrum or broad spectrum, how much of the CBD is actually in it. We have guarantees from our infuser, we balance these out with certified analysis, the flower, everything else on a full spectrum, but we guarantee and certify that we have 80 to 95% concentration of CBD in our full spectrum mix. So it's another level that we can guarantee to the consumer. Not only do we have all the parts of the plant, we have a guaranteed amount of CBD in it, and that's all certified. And in addition to that, I mean from a validation standpoint, you know, that's one aspect of what we do relative to the CBD, but the full panel analysis that we do is much more along a cgmp Type Certification process. Our bases for these products are manufactured in a cgmp facility. Basically that means that every aspect of the manufacturing process is validated with this double signature on all the the measurements and all the mixing steps. We then have that validated with microbiological challenge testing to make sure that that's not biologically contaminated. that then gets shipped to our CBD infuser partner who then will mix in blend in the CBD pursuant to our formulation. And then when it gets into full panel certification, we look for everything, we guarantee and certify the amount of actual CBD that's in it. We certify that it's in full compliance with the farm act, meaning that there's less than 0.3% THC in it. Then we make sure that it's full panel is none of the heavy metals and LEDs and other things. And we also do another microbiological challenge test, to make sure and confirm that in fact that there is no microbiological contamination. So when someone is getting our product, they're getting it validated from the very beginning, from the sourcing of all the raw materials that go into the base all the way to the final step, and every part in between."On the process of securing hemp: "Our hemp is sourced from one of the largest and oldest manufacturers and growers in Kentucky, which was around not just for the 2018 Farm Bill, but also for the original federal research pilot program in 2014. This is basically research grade hemp that's being grown and refined into what we believe to be and what's been demonstrated to certification to us, one of the most purest forms of CBD and hemp extract that's on the marketplace today. So just like our botanical extracts are naturally grown, every component of the formulas has been sourced from what we believe and continually verify to be the best product components available."I appreciated the thoroughness of this team in creating a product line that addresses many of the concerns and needs that people have when making a decision to try CBD. They gave meticulous detail of their phase change technology for rapid delivery and quick onset of action, the added botanicals which provide aromatherapy and synergy and contribute the the overall effectiveness of the product, their incredibly thorough testing and certification process, high quality hemp, precise dosage control, with a non greasy feel. I had the opportunity to try several of these products and will give my personal endorsement that they delivered excellent results!! As a runner who deals with chronic muscle pain, especially as I get older, the relief felt after utilizing the "be active" product eliminated the need for post run ibuprofen and other more toxic pain relievers. I highly encourage anyone out there looking for a high quality product, with some bells and whistles that you don't see for such a reasonable price, check any or all of this unique product line, asap!!"Our website is the best places to actually buy the product and to learn about the technology and the information to see about the validation, and watch the video. So we actually encourage people to go directly to the website. At the same token, we're in the process of increasing the number of retail locations that we have. And we're in the process of putting an affiliate program together as well that will basically allow us to have other people on the internet recommending the products to the friends and family."Herb Tech Pharmaceuticals Links:Website: https://herbtechpharma.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BetterOnCBD/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betteroncbd/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BetterOnCBDPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/herbtechpharma/CONTACT(978) 522 0049info@herbtechpharma.com

We then have that validated with microbiological challenge testing to make sure that that's not biologically contaminated. that then gets shipped to our CBD infuser partner who then will mix in blend in the CBD pursuant to our formulation. And then when it gets into full panel certification, we look for everything, we guarantee and certify the amount of actual CBD that's in it. We certify that it's in full compliance with the farm act, meaning that there's less than 0.3% THC in it. Then we make sure that it's full panel is none of the heavy metals and LEDs and other things. And we also do another microbiological challenge test, to make sure and confirm that in fact that there is no microbiological contamination. So when someone is getting our product, they're getting it validated from the very beginning, from the sourcing of all the raw materials that go into the base all the way to the final step, and every part in between." On the process of securing hemp: "Our hemp is sourced from one of the largest and oldest manufacturers and growers in Kentucky, which was around not just for the 2018 Farm Bill, but also for the original federal research pilot program in 2014. This is basically research grade hemp that's being grown and refined into what we believe to be and what's been demonstrated to certification to us, one of the most purest forms of CBD and hemp extract that's on the marketplace today. So just like our botanical extracts are naturally grown, every component of the formulas has been sourced from what we believe and continually verify to be the best product components available." I appreciated the thoroughness of this team in creating a product line that addresses many of the concerns and needs that people have when making a decision to try CBD. They gave meticulous detail of their phase change technology for rapid delivery and quick onset of action, the added botanicals which provide aromatherapy and synergy and contribute the the overall effectiveness of the product, their incredibly thorough testing and certification process, high quality hemp, precise dosage control, with a non greasy feel. I had the opportunity to try several of these products and will give my personal endorsement that they delivered excellent results!! As a runner who deals with chronic muscle pain, especially as I get older, the relief felt after utilizing the "be active" product eliminated the need for post run ibuprofen and other more toxic pain relievers. I highly encourage anyone out there looking for a high quality product, with some bells and whistles that you don't see for such a reasonable price, check any or all of this unique product line, asap!! "Our website is the best places to actually buy the product and to learn about the technology and the information to see about the validation, and watch the video. So we actually encourage people to go directly to the website. At the same token, we're in the process of increasing the number of retail locations that we have. And we're in the process of putting an affiliate program together as well that will basically allow us to have other people on the internet recommending the products to the friends and family."

Prefixes are key morphemes in English vocabulary that begin words. The English prefix epi-, which means “over” or “upon,” appears in a good number of English vocabulary words, such as epidermis and epitaph. You can remember that the prefix epi- means “upon” from the noun epidemic, which is a widespread disease that comes “upon” people; you can also recall that epi- means “over” via the word epidermis, which is the outer skin that lies “over” lower layers of skin.Like this?

Skin 101 Your skin is the largest organ of your body. It has 3 jobs: Protection, Regulation, Sensation Natural complexions are being viewed as more beautiful than a "tan". 3 Layers Epidermis (above skin) - waterproof, gives you your color, the layer we see Dermis-Epidermis junction - a protein layer containing collagen and elastin to give skin flexibility and stretchability Dermis - where your glands, hair follicles, and nerves are Hypodermis - (below skin) - houses adipose tissue for insulation, and blood vessels The Epidermis is made up of several separate layers based on what is happening in the cell's lifetime. The basement membrane sits right on top of the Dermis-Epidermis junction, made up of fibrous proteins to be a solid foundation. Epidermis Layers Basal Layer - Keratinocytes (makes Keratin) and Melanocytes (makes Melanin) - stem cells. Spinous Layer - Cells are actively dividing and getting squished together Granular Layer - Cells start making the proteins (keratin or melanin) that they are coded to make and it fills up all the intracellular space; the organelles of the cells get crowded out Lucid Layer (Clear) - Keratinized cells are clear; Melanin-filled cells are colored. Cells are officially dead.  Cells become coated in a hydrophobic (afraid of water) oil. Hard Layer  - cells are tightly packed together and dry; the layer we can touch. These cells are being continuously produced and shed off and replenished because the skin takes a lot of abuse. Deeper Stuff UV light from sun or tanning beds (heaven forbid!) stimulates melanocytes to divide faster and create more melanin (because melanin is reflective and keeps UV rays away from the important cells).  This is how a tan is created.  But during times of huge exposure, like tanning beds, there's not enough melanin to keep all the UV rays out so those rays can wreak havoc on the collagen and elastin proteins.  This is why over-tanned skin ages faster. Hydrating makes sure that the living and dividing cells are plump and as healthy as possible so when they move to the next layer, they are well nourished. Protection: keeps dirt and bacteria out; protections from UV radiation Regulation: releases sweat to cool the body's temp; subtly moves blood vessel closer or farther away from the surface to either cool the warm blood (like after exercise) or keep it warm (like in the winter). Sensations: allows you to feel things that touch you or come close to you.

Metin, Metin, Metin... Henüz 13 yaşında ve yaşıtlarından çok çok daha hareketli ve yaramaz. Bulduğu her aleti kurcalayan, her şeyi tamir etmeye çalışan ve genelde başarısız olan bir çocuk Metin. Son 2 ayda 5 defa çarpılmasının ardından, neyse ki elektriğe ve prizlere olan ilgisini yitirmiş durumda. Yeni ilgisi ise sanat. En azından kendisi öyle zannediyor. Okul dersi için aldığı maket bıçağı, birkaç dakika içinde, sanata olan bu yoğun ilgisini, bütün keskinliği ile ortadan ikiye kesecek. Ve kesilen tek şey sanata duyduğu ilgi olmayacak, sol başmarmağı da bu keskinlikten nasibini alacak. Nihayetinde, Metin, 2 hafta içinde, “Yara Kabuğu” adını verdiği, çok eski bir arkadaşı ile tekrar görüşecek. Peki, bu tanışma gerçekleşene kadar içeride neler yaşanacak? Metin’in içindeki muhteşem onarım sistemleri, o yarayı nasıl kapatacak? Düşen savunma sistemi kendini nasıl koruyacak? İçeri girip bakmakta yarar var. O an Görüntüyü biraz geriye saralım ve o şanssız an’a geri dönelim. Görüntümüzde, maket bıçağının keskin ucu, kartondan kopuyor ve hızını kesmeden, yolu üzerindeki bir sonraki hedefe, Metin’in bahtsız baş parmağına doğru ilerliyor. İlk Durak Epidermis Kaçınılmaz buluşmada maket bıçağını, Metin’in derisinin en üst tabakası epidermis karşılıyor. Bu ilk tabakanın en üstü, stratum corneum adı verilen ve ölü hücrelerden oluşan katmandan oluşuyor. Hemen altında ise, önemli işlevlere sahip canlı hücreler yer alıyor. Epidermis’te bulunan hücrelerin büyük bir kısmı, ince bir protein ağı ile örülmüş durumda. Bu protein ağının temel maddesi ise keratin. Keratin, aslında, lifsi yapıda bulunan bir grup proteine verilen ad. Lif şeklinde, hücre içinde boydan boya uzandığı için bir nevi hücresel çimento görevi görüyor. Keratin, hücrelere yapısal bütünlük sağlıyor. Nitekim, Metin’in saç ve tırnaklarının bu kadar sağlam olmasının temel sebebi de keratin protein ailesi. Epidermis’in de %90‘ını keratin açısından oldukça zengin olan keratinosit adlı hücreler oluşturuyor. Diğer tüm insanlar gibi, Metin’in epidermis’i de sürekli bir devinim içinde. Ölü derinin alt kısmında yeni hücreler oluşurken, eski hücreler yaklaşık 28 gün süren bir süreçte giderek derinin dış kısmına itiliyor. Bu itilme sırasında, aşağıdaki damarlardan uzaklaştığı için ve dışarıdan gelen fiziksel darbelerle birlikte ölüyorlar. Nihayetinde, ölen hücreler deriden koparak ayrılıyorlar. Bu devinim o kadar etkili gerçekleşiyor ki, Metin her dakika 30.000-40.000 kadar hücreyi sadece derisinden kaybediyor. Kaynak: Wikimedia Epidermis’i oluşturan ölü ve canlı hücreler birbirlerine boşluk kalmayacak halde, bir yapbozu andıracak şekilde düzenlenmiş duruyorlar. Bunun yanı sıra, hücreler desmosom adı verilen hücreler arası bağlantılarla birbirlerine sıkı sıkı kenetlenmiş haldeler. Tüm bu özellikler sayesinde, Metin’in derisi büyük oranda su geçirmez halde. Bu şekilde, vücuttaki fazla su kaybı da önleniyor. Eğer, bu 1 milimetrelik katman olmasaydı, Metin ciddi oranda su kaybı yaşayıp çok kısa zamanda hayatını kaybedebilirdi. Bu tabaka, sık dokusu ile vücuda patojenlerin ve suyun girişini önleyebilse de, hızla gelen keskin bir maket bıçağına karşı yapabileceği pek bir şey yok. Bıçak, sadece 1 milimetre kalınlığındaki bu dış zırhı kolaylıkla kesip geçebilir. Nitekim, geçiyor da. Şu ana kadar, bıçağımız epidermisin hemen altındaki serbest sinir uçlarına varmadığı için, Metin’in bu kazadan henüz haber yok. Ancak, çok yakında olacak. Nitekim, bıçak yoluna devam ediyor ve karşısında, epidermisin hemen altında, onu bekleyen geniş bir sinir ağı var. Birinin canı çok yanacak. Acı yok, Acı Aslında Beyinde! Tabii canım! Bıçak, yolu üzerindeki doku ve hücreleri parçalayarak ilerlerken, normalde hücre içinde olması gereken moleküller (örneğin hücresel enerjinin transferini yapan ATP gibi) hücre dışına sızmaya ve yayılmaya başlıyor. Etrafa saçılan bu hücresel ve moleküler cesetler, bölgedeki serbest sinir uçları tarafından algılanıyor ve acıdan sorumlu sinir ...

Molekulare Mechanismen in der Haut nach Einwirkung von S-Lost

Die vorliegende Dissertation befasst sich mit den durch S-Lost-verursachten Symptomen in der Haut, die zunächst durch starke Blasenbildung und später durch eine verzögerte Wund-heilung charakterisiert sind. Bei S-Lost handelt es sich um einen chemischen Kampfstoff, der erstmals im ersten Weltkrieg zum Einsatz kam und bis heute in vielen internationalen Kon-flikten großen Schaden anrichtete, obwohl der Gebrauch schon 1925 durch die Genfer Konvention verboten wurde. Aktuell stellt S-Lost zudem eine Bedrohung durch terroristische Aktivitäten dar. Da für S-Lost-induzierte Verletzungen bislang keine spezifisch wirksamen Behandlungs-methoden verfügbar sind, besteht großes Interesse an der Aufklärung der dem Krankheitsbild zugrunde liegenden molekularen Pathomechanismen, um daraus Rückschlüsse auf besser ge-eignete therapeutische Maßnahmen ziehen zu können. In unseren ersten Experimenten wurden als mögliche Auslöser der Blasenbildung die Expression und Sekretion ausgewählter Matrix-Metalloproteinasen (MMPs) und deren endogenen Inhibitoren, den tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in einem 3D-Haut-modell und in verschiedenen Zelltypen der Haut (Keratinozyten, Fibroblasten, mikrovaskuläre Endothelzellen, mesenchymale Stammzellen, monozytäre Zellen, PMN-Granulozyten) sowohl in Mono- als auch in Mischkultur untersucht. Unter Verwendung von molekularbiologischen und proteinbiochemischen Methoden wie qRT-PCR, Zymographie und Western Blot gelang der Nachweis, dass MMPs - insbesondere MMP-9 - nach Exposition der Zellen (v.a. Fibroblasten und monozytäre Zellen) mit S-Lost deutlich hochreguliert wurden. Zu Erhärtung der Annahme, dass MMP-9 durch Degradation der Basalmembran zwischen Epidermis und Dermis zur Blasenbildung beiträgt, konnte als Pathomechanismus nun erstmals eine parakrine Stimulation von Fibroblasten durch S-Lost-behandelte Keratinozyten identifiziert werden, als deren Folge eine vermehrte MMP-9-Sekretion resultierte. Darüber hinaus zeigte sich in weiteren Versuchen unter Verwendung des sog. Scratch-Assays und eines Transwell-basierten Invasionsassays, dass das Migrations- und Invasionsverhalten der Fibroblasten in Gegenwart des konditionierten Mediums der S-Lost-behandelten Keratinozyten positiv beeinflusst wurde. Aus klinischer Sicht sprechen diese Erkenntnisse für neue therapeutische Ansätze, die darauf beruhen sollten, die S-Lost-induzierte, auf proteolytischer Aktivität basierende Blasenbildung der Haut durch Applikation spezifischer MMP-Inhibitoren zu behandeln. In einem weiteren Projekt wurde die verzögerte Wundheilung als spätes Symptom der S-Lost-Vergiftung auf zellulärer Ebene untersucht, bei der eine eingeschränkte Re-Epithelialisierung der betroffenen Hautstellen beobachtet wird. Sowohl für den Prozess der Wundheilung als auch für die stetige Erneuerung der Haut werden epidermale Stammzellen benötigt, die für die Bildung von Keratinozyten verantwortlich sind. Diese unipotenten Progenitorzellen befinden sich in der basalen Schicht der Epidermis und sind in der Lage zu proliferieren und anschließend terminal zu differenzieren. Um eine Beeinflussung dieser Prozesse durch S-Lost zu untersuchen, wurden primäre unreife Keratinozyten (NHEK) verwendet und hinsichtlich ihres Differenzierungspotenzials untersucht. Dabei erwies sich S-Lost als potenter Induktor der Differenzierung von NHEK, was durch Bestimmung der Expression typischer Markerproteine wie Keratin-1, Involucrin und Loricrin gezeigt wurde. Die Induktion des Reifungsprozesses war sowohl von einem Rückgang der Proliferation als auch von einer verminderten Migrationsrate der Zellen begleitet. Die eingehende Analyse von mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-Signaltransduktionswegen führte zu der Erkenntnis, dass die Aktivitäten von p38 und ERK1/2 gegenteilige Rollen im Differenzierungsprozess einnehmen. Studien mit spezifischen Inhibitoren der MAPK be¬legten, dass p38 für den Reifungsvorgang in NHEK essentiell ist, während ERK1/2 diesem entgegen wirkt. So konnte durch Blockade von p38 die von S-Lost ausgelöste Differenzierung der Zellen verhindert werden. Ebenso war es durch diese Behandlung möglich, die von S-Lost stark beeinträchtige Migrationsfähigkeit der Keratinozyten wiederherzustellen, welche mit einer erhöhten MMP-1-Expression einherging. Davon abgeleitet erscheint es therapeutisch sinnvoll, selektive p38-Inhibitoren für die Behandlung von Wundheilungsstörungen nach Exposition der Haut mit S-Lost einzusetzen. Zusammenfassend erbrachten unsere Studien also den Nachweis, dass der S-Lost-induzierten Blasenbildung (als frühes Symptom) die spezifische Induktion der MMP-9 zugrunde liegt. Darüber hinaus konnte erstmals eine verfrühte Differenzierung in unreifen Keratinozyten der Haut (als mögliche Ursache für die verzögerte Wundheilung) nachgewiesen werden, wobei die MAPK p38 bei der Initiierung des Prozesses von entscheidender Bedeutung ist. Aufgrund dieser Resultate empfiehlt sich eine kombinierte Applikation von Inhibitoren der Aktivitäten von MMP-9 und p38, wobei der Einsatz jedoch zeitlich abgestimmt erfolgen sollte, um pathologische Effekte (Blasenbildung bzw. Differenzierungsinduktion in Keratinozyten) zu blockieren, ohne die positiven Auswirkungen von MMP-9 und p38 auf die Heilung (Migration von Immunzellen und Keratinozyten bzw. Reepithelialisierung) zu hemmen.

Fifty-kDa Hyaluronic Acid Upregulates Some Epidermal Genes without Changing TNF-α Expression in Reconstituted Epidermis

Background: Due to its strong water binding potential, hyaluronic acid (HA) is a well-known active ingredient for cosmetic applications. However, based on its varying molecular size, skin penetration of HA may be limited. Recent studies have demonstrated that low-molecular-weight HA (LMW HA) may show a certain proinflammatory activity. We thus aimed to characterize an LMW-sized HA molecule that combines strong anti-aging abilities with efficient skin penetration but lacks potential proinflammatory effects. Methods: Total RNA and total protein were isolated from reconstituted human epidermis following incubation with HAs of various molecular weights (20, 50, 130, 300, 800 and 1,500 kDa). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha expression was determined using quantitative PCR. Genonnic and proteomic expression of various junctional proteins was determined using Affymetrix and common Western blotting techniques. Results: LMW HA of approximately 50 kDa did not significantly alter tumor necrosis factor-alpha expression compared to 20-kDa HA, but revealed significantly higher skin penetration rates than larger sized HA associated with increased expression of genes and proteins known to be involved in tight junction formation and keratinocyte cohesion. Conclusion: LMW HA of approximately 50 kDa shows better penetration abilities than larger-sized HA. In addition, LMW HA influences the expression of various genes including those contributing to keratinocyte differentiation and formation of intercellular tight junction complexes without showing proinflammatory activity. These observations contribute to current knowledge on the effects of LMW HA on keratinocyte biology and cutaneous physiology. Copyright (C) 2011 S. Karger AG, Basel

Ziel der vorliegenden Dissertationsarbeit war es, die mögliche Empfänglichkeit von Karpfen (Cyprinus carpio), Koi-Karpfen (Cyprinus carpio koi) und Zebrabärblingen (Danio rerio) gegenüber der Drehkrankheit mittels Nested-PCR und histologischen Untersuchungen zu klären. Zum Vergleich wurden Drehkrankheit-empfindliche Regenbogenforellen (Oncorhynchus mykiss) mit untersucht. Für die Untersuchungen zum Eintritt von Triactinomyxon-Sporen wurden Regenbogenforellen, Karpfen, Koi-Karpfen und Zebrabärblinge exponiert und jeweils 5 Minuten, 4, 6, 8, 12 und 18 Stunden, 1, 2, 3 und 5 Tage nach der Exposition die Parasitenstadien in der Schwanzflosse und in der Haut (an der lateralen Seite) der Forellen gezählt. Bei den Regenbogenforellen wurden in den Schwanzflossen nach fünf Minuten und vier Stunden Parasitenzahlen zwischen 16 bis 25 auf einer Fläche von 1 cm² pro Hautstück (an der lateralen Seite) gefunden, während bei allen drei untersuchten Cypriniden durchschnittlich 5 intakte eingedrungene Amöboidkeimzellen pro Fisch histologisch nachweisbar waren. In der Schwanzflosse und in der Haut von Karpfen, Zebrabärblingen, Koi-Karpfen und Regenbogenforellen war zu den Untersuchungszeitpunkten 1, 4 und 8 Stunden p.e. DNA von M. cerebralis nachweisbar. Nach acht Stunden waren bei den Regenbogenforellen und bei allen drei untersuchten Cypriniden die Ambödkeimzellen noch intakt. Außerdem war eine Abnahme der Anzahl an Parasitenstadien in der Haut nur bei den Regenbogenforellen zu detektieren. Ab 8 Stunden bis 60 Tage post expositionem konnte bei Regenbogenforellen in den Schwanzflossen ein Rückgang der Infektionsintensität festgestellt werden. In der Epidermis der Schwanzflossen war die durchschnittliche Triactinomyxon-Sporen-Dichte mit Abstand am höchsten. Es konnte jedoch zum Untersuchungszeitpunkt 60 Tage bei Regenbogenforellen Parasiten-DNA mittels Nested-PCR nachgewiesen werden, obwohl diese Fische bei der histologischen Untersuchung negativ getestet wurden. Ab 50 Tage post expositionem waren nur bei den Regenbogenforellen im Kopfknorpel Entwicklungsstadien von M. cerebralis und Veränderungen in Form von Degenerationen zu finden. Alle drei untersuchten Cypriniden wiesen im Kopfknorpel keine Entwicklungsstadien von M. cerebralis oder Schädigungen auf. Nach den Ergebnissen der vorliegenden Arbeit kann somit vermutet werden, dass viele Sporoplasmen in die Epidermis der Cypriniden eindrangen, aber den Knorpel nicht erreichen konnten. Der Beweis für die erfolgte Infektion des Schädelknorpels der Regenbogenforellen mit M. cerebralis wurde anhand der klinischen und histologischen Befunde durchgeführt, während in allen drei untersuchten Cyprinidenarten, der Parasit die Haut eindrangenx , aber nicht weiter entwickeln konnte. Die aus Hautproben, Schwanzflossen und Knorpelproben der infizierten Karpfen, Koi-Karpfen, Zebrabärblinge und Regenbogenforellen gewonnene DNA wurde mittels Nested-PCR amplifiziert. Dabei stellte sich heraus, dass die Nested-PCR deutlich sensitiver war als die histologische Untersuchung mit Hämatoxylin- und Eosin- Färbung. Aufgrund der vorliegenden Ergebnisse können weiterführende Untersuchungen durchgeführt werden, um die Resistenzmechanismen der Cypriniden gegenüber der Drehkrankheit klären zu können.

Rac1 is a ubiquitously expressed member of the Rho family of small GTPases, which acts as a molecular switch by shuttling in a highly regulated manner between an active (GTP-bound) and an inactive (GDP-bound) state. Different signalling pathways, which involve integrins, growth factor receptors, cadherins as well as other Rho GTPases, can induce Rac1 activation. Only in the GTP bound form, Rac1 can associate with different effector molecules to initiate cellular responses. Initially described as an important regulator of the actin cytoskeleton, Rac1 was later found to be also involved in the modulation of other processes such as cell adhesion, proliferation, survival, differentiation and migration. In epithelial cells, Rac1 was shown to regulate the formation and maintenance of cadherin dependent cell cell contacts, which are essential for the establishment of the polarized cell morphology. Before this project was initiated, almost all knowledge about the function of Rac1 was based on in vitro studies. As constitutive deletion of the murine rac1 gene leads to early embryonic lethality, mice allowing for a conditional inactivation of the rac1 gene were generated in this study to enable the analysis of the function of Rac1 in selected tissues. To investigate the role of Rac1 in the epidermis and hair follicles and to determine its function in the establishment and maintenance of cell cell contacts between epithelial cells in vivo, mice with a keratinocyte-restricted ablation of the rac1 gene were generated and analyzed. The results obtained in this study showed that the absence of Rac1 in the murine epidermis leads to a progressive hair loss but surprisingly has no effect on the maintenance of the epidermis. The hair loss is caused by the inability of hair follicle keratinocytes to maintain their differentiation state, which leads to the phagocytic removal of the non permanent parts of the hair follicles by infiltrating macrophages. In contrast, differentiation and proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes as well as the formation and maintenance of cell-cell and cell-matrix contacts, and the deposition of the basement membrane in the epidermis are not affected by the loss of Rac1. Biochemical analysis of epidermal lysates demonstrated that the absence of epidermal defects in vivo is not a result of compensatory upregulation of closely related members of the Rho family of GTPases, further indicating that the function of Rac1 in epithelial cells in vivo is limited. Also, the analysis of the formation of the embryoid bodies from Rac1-deficient embryonic stem cells showed that the presence of Rac1 is not required for the establishment of cell cell contacts during differentiation of the polarized primitive ectoderm and for the formation of epithelial sheets, supporting the conclusion that the function of Rac1 in the regulation of cell cell adhesion between epithelial cells is dispensable. However, the re epithelialization after wounding was impaired in the mutant epidermis, demonstrating that Rac1 plays an important role in pathological conditions. The delayed wound closure in the absence of Rac1 is caused by impaired cell migration and proliferation of neo epidermal keratinocytes. Another interesting finding of this study was the observation that, in contrast to the steady state in vivo situation, isolated Rac1 deficent primary keratinocytes display severe defects in cell culture, which lead to their detachment from the matrix. While the initial adhesion is only mildly affected by the lack of Rac1, mutant keratinocytes are unable to spread, show an impaired organization of the actin cytoskeleton and fail to form mature focal adhesions. The differences between in vivo and in vitro effects resulting from the inactivation of the rac1 gene indicate that the function of Rac1 in epithelial cells depends on the complexity of the cellular system and emphasize the importance of performing in vivo studies to fully understand its role. Taken together, the data presented in this study show that Rac1 plays an important role in the maintenance of hair follicles and during epidermal wound healing, but that it is not essential for the homeostasis of the epidermis in physiological conditions and for the formation and maintenance of cell cell contacts between epithelial cells in vivo.

Die Differentialdiagnose entzündlicher Hauterkrankungen setzt seitens des Dermatologen ein hohes Maß an klinischer Erfahrung voraus. Labortechnische und histologische Untersuchungsverfahren sind dabei nur eingeschränkt hilfreich. Ausgehend von der Annahme, dass erstens das atopische Ekzem ein krankheitsspezifisches Mikromilieu in der Epidermis und Dermis aufweist und dass sich zweitens dieses spezifische Mikromilieu im Phänotyp der immunkompetenten CD1a positiven epidermalen dendritischen Zellpopulation widerspiegelt, wurde seit 1995 ein Verfahren zur Immunphänotypisierung von Langerhans Zellen und IDEC entwickelt. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass das atopische Ekzem durch eine hohe Expression des hochaffinen IgE-Rezeptors (FceRI) bei niedriger Expression des IgG-Rezeptors FcgRII auf den dentritischen Zellen der Epidermis hoch sensitiv und spezifisch von anderen Dermatosen abgegrenzt werden kann. Ziel der vorgelegten Arbeit war es, die standardisierte Phänotypisierung CD1a positiver epidermaler Zellen so zu erweitern, dass neben dem atopischen Ekzem auch die Diagnose anderer entzündlicher Hauterkrankungen möglich wird. Es wurden 296 Patienten mittels standardisierter Phänotypisierung epidermaler dendritischer Zellen untersucht. Bei 192 Patienten konnte nach Abschluss aller klinisch diagnostischen Untersuchungen eine eindeutige Diagnose gestellt werden, so dass die an diesen Patienten erhobenen Phänotypisierungsdaten für die Analyse krankheitsspezifischer Veränderungen im Oberflächenmarkerprofil von Langerhans Zellen und IDEC herangezogen wurden. Die Patienten verteilten sich auf 8 Gruppen: Normale Haut (n=31); Atopisches Ekzem (n=59); Psoriasis (n=41); Allergisches Kontaktekzem (n=23); Kontaktekzem bei atopischer Diathese (n=14); Lichen ruber (n=6); Mycosis fungoides (n=10) und Nummuläres Ekzem (n=8). Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass der prozentuale Anteil epidermaler dendritischer Zellen in Abhängigkeit von der Diagnose variiert und dass die bei allen entzündlichen Dermatosen nachweisbare Vermehrung epidermaler dendritischer Zellen vorrangig auf eine de novo Einwanderung von IDEC in die Epidermis zurückzuführen ist. Das wesentliche Ergebnis der vorgelegten Arbeit ist die Erweiterung der diagnostischen Phänotypisierung auf die Psoriasis und das allergische Kontaktekzem. So konnte die Psoriasis durch eine Ratio von CD64/CD11b auf IDEC sinnvoll abgegrenzt werden. Das Kontaktekzem war mittels einer Ratio aus E-Cadherin/CD86 auf Langerhans Zellen zu identifizieren. Die Gruppe der Patienten mit Kontaktekzem bei atopischer Diathese wurde durch die Ratio E-Cadherin/CD80 auf IDEC erkannt. Die bereits für das atopische Ekzem publizierte Ratio FcRI/CD32 auf allen CD1a positiven Zellen wurde mit der gleichen Ratio, ermittelt nur für IDEC, verglichen. Eine Verbesserung der Sensitivität und Spezifität für die Diagnosestellung des atopischen Ekzems konnte hierdurch nicht erreicht werden. Die starke Expression von FceRI auf LC und IDEC kennzeichnet das atopische Ekzem. Typisch für das atopische Ekzem ist weiterhin die Expression von CD36 auf LC und IDEC. Die Psoriasis ist durch eine besonders starke Expression der Fcg-Rezeptoren auf IDEC gekennzeichnet. Darüber hinaus findet sich eine erhöhte passive Anlagerung von sCD23 an IDEC bei Psoriasis. Gegenüber anderen Diagnosen ist die Expression von CD11b und CD11c auf IDEC vermindert. Für das Kontaktekzem ist die im Vergleich mit anderen entzündlichen Dermatosen niedrige CD49d Expression auf LC kennzeichnend. Die Einführung neuer diagnostischer Algorithmen in die Phänotypisierung epidermaler dendritischer Zellen konnte das diagnostische Spektrum dieser Methode deutlich erweitern. Neben atopischem Ekzem und normaler Haut wurden auch Algorithmen für die Psoriasis und das allergische Kontaktekzem beschrieben. Die systematische Analyse weiterer Dermatosen mit epidermaler Beteiligung dürfte auch für diese Erkrankungen diagnostische Algorithmen aufzeigen, die das Mikromilieu der entsprechenden Krankheiten widerspiegeln. Die Phänotypisierung epidermaler dendritischer Zellen dürfte insbesondere im Rahmen klinisch-therapeutischer Studien vermehrt zur Anwendung kommen, da mit dieser Methode eine objektive, quantitative Untersuchung einzelner behandelter oder unbehandelter Hautareale im zeitlichen Verlauf möglich ist.

Die entzündlich veränderte Epidermis unterscheidet sich von der Epidermis der normalen Haut durch das Auftreten einer zweiten dendritischen, von Langerhans Zellen (LC) abgrenzbaren Zellpopulation. Während Herkunft und Funktion dieser Inflammatorischen Dendritischen Epidermalen Zellen (IDEC) noch unbekannt sind, deuten die bislang durchgeführten immunphänotypischen Untersuchungen auf eine Monozyten-abhängige Genese hin. In der vorgelegten Arbeit wurden Untersuchungen an verschiedenen epidermalen Zellsuspensionen, sowie in vitro aus Monozyten hergestellten unreifen dendritischen Zellen (MoDC) durchgeführt, um durch eine standardisierte Untersuchung weiterführende Erkenntnisse zur Immunbiologie dieser dendritischen Zellen zu gewinnen. Zunächst konnte gezeigt werden, daß die in vitro hergestellten MoDC immunphänotypisch relativ genau den IDEC entsprechen, während der Immunphänotyp der LC deutliche Unterschiede zu dem der MoDC aufweist: Während sowohl IDEC als auch MoDC stark CD36, CD11b und CLA exprimieren, sind auf LC CD36 und CD11b nur minimal und CLA deutlich weniger stark exprimiert. Außerdem konnte gezeigt werden, daß die CD1a- Expression der MoDC mit längerer Kulturdauer stärker wird, und daß eine Zugabe von autologem Serum in die Kultur diese Ausreifung von Monozyten zu MoDC hemmt. Der zweite Teil dieser Arbeit befasste sich mit vergleichenden Zellzyklusuntersuchungen von LC und Keratinozyten aus normaler und entzündlich veränderter Haut. Hierzu wurde zunächst eine Untersuchungsmethode zur gleichzeitigen Bestimmung von Zellzyklus, CD1a- Expression und Vitalität etabliert. Es wurden verschiedene Parameter wie Zellzahl, Farbstoffkonzentration, Fixierung und Vitalfärbung an einem auf den Zellinien MOLT4 und U937 basierenden Modell optimiert, und später auf epidermale Zellsuspensionen übertragen. Dieses aus einem Zellgemisch einer CD1a-exprimierenden und einer CD1a-negativen Zellinie in seinen Anteilen frei wählbare Modell erlaubte die Optimierung der Färbetechnik und wies den vermehrten DNA-Gehalt der MOLT4-Zellen nach, was auf eine chromosomale Aberration in der MOLT4-Zellinie hindeutet. Keratinozyten und Langerhans Zellen wiesen einen normalen Zellzyklus innerhalb der normalen Haut auf, was die Resultate anderer Arbeitsgruppen bestätigte. In entzündlicher Haut war die Zellteilungsrate bei Keratinozyten und epidermalen dendritischen Zellen erhöht. Die erhöhte Zellteilungsrate der epidermalen dendritischen Zellen war bislang noch nicht untersucht worden. Schließlich wurden funktionelle Untersuchungen der immunphänotypisch nachgewiesenen kostimulatorischen Moleküle durchgeführt. Hierzu wurde die antigenpräsentierende Funktion mit der gemischten Haut-Lymphozyten-Reaktion untersucht. Durch den CD86 Antikörper konnte eine T-Zell-Proliferation in vitro effektiv gehemmt werden. Zusammenfassend konnte in dieser Arbeit eine Methode zur Untersuchung epidermaler dendritischer Zellen etabliert werden. IDEC ähneln in zahlreichen Aspekten den MoDC, wogegen LC deutliche Unterschiede aufweisen. Weitere Untersuchungen am Zellzyklus entzündlicher Haut, die auf die in der vorgelegten Arbeit etablierten Methode aufbauen, werden Aufschluß über die Teilungsraten von LC und IDEC geben. Anhand der Erkenntnisse über die Rezeptorexpression auf IDEC und MoDC ist eine genauere immunbiologische Einordnung der IDEC in die Gruppe der myeloiden dendritischen Zellen wahrscheinlich.
