In particular, the specific contribution of risk or candidate gene variants to the complex schizophrenic phenotype is largely unknown. Objective: To prepare the ground for a novel “phenomics” approach, a unique schizophrenia patient database was established by GRAS (Göttingen Research Association for Schizophrenia), designed to allow association of genetic information with quantifiable phenotypes. Because synaptic dysfunction plays a key role in schizophrenia, the complexin 2 gene (CPLX2) was examined in the first phenotype-based genetic association study (PGAS) of GRAS. Design: Subsequent to a classic case-control approach, we analyzed the contribution of CPLX2 polymorphisms to discrete cognitive domains within the schizophrenic population. To gain mechanistic insight into how certain CPLX2 variants influence gene expression and function, peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients, Cplxnull mutantmice, and transfected cells were investigated.Setting: Coordinating research center (Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine) and 23 collaboratingpsychiatric centers all over Germany.Participants: One thousand seventy-one patients with schizophrenia (DSM-IV) examined by an invariant investigator team, resulting in the GRAS database with more than 3000 phenotypic data points per patient, and 1079 healthy control subjects of comparable ethnicity.Main Outcome Measure: Cognitive performance including executive functioning, reasoning, and verbal learning/memory. Results: Six single-nucleotide polymorphisms, distributed over the whole CPLX2 gene, were found to be highly associated with current cognition of schizophrenic subjects but only marginally with premorbid intelligence. Correspondingly, in Cplx2-null mutant mice, prominent cognitive loss of function was obtained only in combination with a minor brain lesion applied during puberty, modeling a clinically relevant environmental risk (“second hit”) for schizophrenia. In the human CPLX2 gene, 1 of the identified 6 cognition-relevant single-nucleotide polymorphisms, rs3822674 in the 3´ untranslated region, was detected to influence microRNA-498 binding and gene expression. The same marker was associated with differential expression of CPLX2 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Conclusions: The PGAS allows identification of markerassociated clinical/biological traits.

The melanoma cells were found to release exosomes. HSP70-positive exosomes from the HSP70-overexpressing cells, in contrast to HSP70-negative exosomes from the control cells, were able to activate mouse NK cells in vitro to kill YAC-1 cells, which express NKG2D ligands constitutively, or the human melanoma cells, in which MICA/B expression was induced.

This stratification coincided with fast (HVL) and slow (LVL) disease progression indicated by the disease course and critical clinical parameters including CD4+ T cell counts. HVL animals revealed sustained proliferation of NK cells but distinct loss of peripheral blood NK cell numbers and lytic function. Genetic analyses revealed that KIR genes 3DL05, 3DS05, and 3DL10 as well as 3DSW08, 3DLW03, and 3DSW09 are correlated, most likely due to underlying haplotypes.

For family samples, however, only a few statistical methods for association analysis of rare genetic variants have been developed. Rare variant approaches are of great interest, particularly for family data, because samples enriched for trait-relevant variants can be ascertained and rare variants are putatively enriched through segregation. To facilitate the evaluation of existing and new rare variant testing approaches for analyzing family data, Genetic Analysis Workshop 18 (GAW18) provided genotype and next-generation sequencing data and longitudinal blood pressure traits from extended pedigrees of Mexican American families from the San Antonio Family Study. Our GAW18 group members analyzed real and simulated phenotype data from GAW18 by using generalized linear mixed-effects models or principal components to adjust for familial correlation or by testing binary traits using a correction factor for familial effects. With one exception, approaches dealt with the extended pedigrees in their original state using information based on the kinship matrix or alternative genetic similarity measures. For simulated data our group demonstrated that the familybased kernel machine score test is superior in power to family-based single-marker or burden tests, except in a few specific scenarios. For real data three contributions identified significant associations. They substantially reduced the number of tests before performing the association analysis. We conclude from our real data analyses that further development of strategies for targeted testing or more focused screening of genetic variants is strongly desirable.

The adaptive immune system has been considered to play a minimal role in the early host response during bacterial meningitis. Methods. We investigated the progression and outcome of pneumococcal meningitis in Rag1(-/-) mice lacking functional B and T cells by assessing overall and symptom-free survival, bacteriological and histological studies, as well as flow cytometry and measurements of proinflammatory mediators. Results. The intracerebral injection of S. pneumoniae D39 induced the recruitment of B and T cells (CD4+, gamma delta and natural killer) into the brain of wild-type mice. Mice with no functional B and T cells developed clinical symptoms and succumbed to the infection earlier than the wild-type group. In the CNS, Rag1(-/-) mice showed lower levels of interleukin 1 beta, reduced microglial proliferation, and impaired granulocyte recruitment with an earlier spread of pneumococci into the bloodstream, compared with wild-type mice. Lack of B and T cells resulted in a severe impairment of bacterial clearance in blood, spleen, and liver and an exaggerated systemic inflammatory response. Conclusions. B and T cells are important effector cells delaying the spread of pneumococci from the brain to the systemic circulation and shaping the immune response, thereby prolonging the survival of the host in the absence of antibiotic treatment."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/infdis/jiw517"],["dc.identifier.isi","000397203500022"],["dc.identifier.pmid","27803171"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/43504"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","1537-6613"],["dc.relation.issn","0022-1899"],["dc.title","The Early Adaptive Immune Response in the Pathophysiological Process of Pneumococcal Meningitis"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
