Die Rolle von S100A8/A9-Dimeren und -Tetrameren in der Regulierung der Neutrophilendynamik bei chronischer Entzündung
Das Ziel dieses Projekts ist es zu verstehen, wie Neutrophile kontrolliert werden, um eine unerwünschte Aktivierung des Immunsystems zu verhindern. Wir nehmen an, dass S100A8/A9 mit seinen zwei vorkommenden quaternären Strukturen - Dimer versus Tetramer - Neutrophile unterschiedlich moduliert, wobei Tetramere im Vergleich zum aktivierendem Dimer sie in einem ruhenden jedoch aufmerksamen Zustand halten, wodurch die Neutrophilenaktivität lokal begrenzt wird. Ein besseres Verständnis dieser Mechanismen kann den Weg für neue therapeutische Interventionen bereiten.

Imaging of inflammatory and regulatory mechanisms in arthritis
Immune-regulatory mechanisms limiting immunological responses are promising new therapeutic targets for chronic autoinflammatory diseases. We investigate to what extent the alarmin S100A8/A9 reprograms myeloid cells in a negative feedback loop to a regulatory phenotype, in particular immunosuppressive MDSCs, to dampen down the immune response in arthritis.

Immune-Image
In diesem Projekt entwickeln wir Methoden, mit denen Immunzellen vor, während und nach einer Immunbehandlung beobachtet werden können. Wir sehen uns die Vorgänge zunächst in Krankheitsmodellen bei Tieren an – mit dem Ziel, die Ergebnisse und Methoden zeitnah auf Patienten zu übertragen und letztendlich Immuntherapien bei Krankheiten wie Krebs oder Entzündungen „bildgesteuert“ zu verbessern.
