  • Signaling in Insulin-Secreting MIN6 Pseudoislets and Monolayer Cells
  • 2013

    • Cell cell interactions are of fundamental importance for cellular function. In islets of Langerhans, which control blood glucose levels by secreting insulin in response to the blood . glucose concentration, the secretory response of intact islets is c higher than that of insulin-producing beta-cells not arranged in the islet architecture. The objective was to define mechanisms by which cellular performance is enhanced when cells are arranged in a) three-dimensional space. The task was addressed by making a c comprehensive analysis based on protein expression patterns " generated from insulin-secreting MIN6 cells grown as islet-like c clusters, so-called pseudoislets, and in monolayers. After culture, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) was measured from monolayers and pseudoislets. GSIS rose 6-fold in pseudoislets but only 3-fold in monolayers when the glucose concentration was increased from 2 to 20 mmol/L. Proteins from pseudoislets and monolayers were extracted and analyzed by liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry, and differentially expressed proteins were mapped onto KEGG pathways. Protein profiling identified 1576 proteins, which were common to pseudoislets and monolayers. When mapped onto KEGG pathways, 11 highly enriched pathways were identified. On the basis of differences in expression of proteins belonging to the pathways in pseudoislets and monolayers, predictions of differential pathway activation were performed. Mechanisms enhancing insulin secretory capacity of the beta-cell, when situated in the islet, include pathways regulating glucose metabolism, cell interaction, and translational regulation.

  • Genomics, transcriptomics and peptidomics of Daphnia pulex neuropeptides and protein hormones
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Journal of Proteome Research. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 1535-3893 .- 1535-3907. ; 10:10, s. 4478-4504

    • We report 43 novel genes in the water flea Daphnia pulex encoding 73 predicted neuropeptide and protein hormones as partly confirmed by RT-PCR. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry identified 40 neuropeptides by mass matches and 30 neuropeptides by fragmentation sequencing. Single genes encode adipokinetic hormone, allatostatin-A, allatostatin-B, a first crustacean allatotropin, Ala7-CCAP, one CCHamide, Arg7-corazonin, CRF-like (DH52) and calcitonin-like (DH31) diuretic hormones, two ecdysis-triggering hormones, two FIRFamides, one insulin- and one each of three IGF-related peptides, two alternative splice forms of short and long ion transport peptide (ITP), one each of two N-terminally elongated ITPs, myosuppressin, neuroparsin, two neuropeptide-F splice forms, three periviscerokinins (but no pyrokinins), pigment dispersing hormone, proctolin, Met4-proctolin, one novel short neuropeptide-F, three RYamides, SIFamide, two sulfakinins, three tachykinins. Two genes encode orcokinins, three genes different allatostatins-C. Paired gene clusters occur for two novel eclosion hormones; bursicons alpha, beta; glycoproteins GPA2, GPB5; and two of the allatostatin-C genes. Detailed comparisons of genes or their products with those from insects and decapod crustaceans revealed that the D. pulex peptides are often closer to their insect than to their decapod crustacean homologues, confirming that branchiopods, to which Daphnia belongs, are the ancestor group of insects.

  • Morphology, anatomy, and molecular studies of the ectomycorrhiza formed axenically by the fungus Sistotrema sp. (Basidiomycota)
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Mycological Progress. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1617-416X .- 1861-8952. ; 11:3, s. 817-826

    • Several species of the corticioid (resupinate) genus Sistotrema of the cantharelloid clade (Basidiomycota) were recently found to be ectomycorrhizal. This changed the traditional assertion that all Sistotrema species are strictly wood rotting and suggests that the genus may be polyphyletic. In the present investigation, a still unknown root tip-associated fungal specimen (EW63) was isolated and found to be associated with an above-ground fruiting body. Sequencing of the ITS and the nucLSU DNA regions and phylogenetic analyses verified that the root-associated fungus and the fruiting body represented the same species, which was found to belong to the genus Sistotrema. To prove the ectomycorrhizal status of this strain, axenic Pinus sylvestris resyntheses in flask cultures were conducted. Growth parameters of the seedlings were determined and the morphology and anatomy of the synthesized mycorrhizas were described. Length and dry mass of the Pinus shoot as well as those of the total root tips were found to be enhanced as a result of the mycorrhizal association. Mycorrhizal frequency was high (51.5%) in these cultures. Mycorrhizal root tips were cottony light ochre with a thin plectenchymatic hyphal mantle. The clamps of the fruiting body hyphae as well as the mycorrhiza were ampullately inflated. This is the first report proving in axenic culture that a fungus belonging to the genus Sistotrema forms true ectomycorrhiza.

  • MATS and LaSpec : High-precision experiments using ion traps and lasers at FAIR
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: The European physical journal. Special topics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1951-6355 .- 1951-6401. ; 183, s. 1-123

    • Nuclear ground state properties including mass, charge radii, spins and moments can be determined by applying atomic physics techniques such as Penning-trap based mass spectrometry and laser spectroscopy. The MATS and LaSpec setups at the low-energy beamline at FAIR will allow us to extend the knowledge of these properties further into the region far from stability. The mass and its inherent connection with the nuclear binding energy is a fundamental property of a nuclide, a unique ""fingerprint"". Thus, precise mass values are important for a variety of applications, ranging from nuclear-structure studies like the investigation of shell closures and the onset of deformation, tests of nuclear mass models and mass formulas, to tests of the weak interaction and of the Standard Model. The required relative accuracy ranges from 10(-5) to below 10(-8) for radionuclides, which most often have half-lives well below 1 s. Substantial progress in Penning trap mass spectrometry has made this method a prime choice for precision measurements on rare isotopes. The technique has the potential to provide high accuracy and sensitivity even for very short-lived nuclides. Furthermore, ion traps can be used for precision decay studies and offer advantages over existing methods. With MATS (Precision Measurements of very short-lived nuclei using an Advanced Trapping System for highly-charged ions) at FAIR we aim to apply several techniques to very short-lived radionuclides: High-accuracy mass measurements, in-trap conversion electron and alpha spectroscopy, and trap-assisted spectroscopy. The experimental setup of MATS is a unique combination of an electron beam ion trap for charge breeding, ion traps for beam preparation, and a high-precision Penning trap system for mass measurements and decay studies. For the mass measurements, MATS offers both a high accuracy and a high sensitivity. A relative mass uncertainty of 10(-9) can be reached by employing highly-charged ions and a non-destructive Fourier-Transform Ion-Cyclotron-Resonance (FT-ICR) detection technique on single stored ions. This accuracy limit is important for fundamental interaction tests, but also allows for the study of the fine structure of the nuclear mass surface with unprecedented accuracy, whenever required. The use of the FT-ICR technique provides true single ion sensitivity. This is essential to access isotopes that are produced with minimum rates which are very often the most interesting ones. Instead of pushing for highest accuracy, the high charge state of the ions can also be used to reduce the storage time of the ions, hence making measurements on even shorter-lived isotopes possible. Decay studies in ion traps will become possible with MATS. Novel spectroscopic tools for in-trap high-resolution conversion-electron and charged-particle spectroscopy from carrier-free sources will be developed, aiming e. g. at the measurements of quadrupole moments and E0 strengths. With the possibility of both high-accuracy mass measurements of the shortest-lived isotopes and decay studies, the high sensitivity and accuracy potential of MATS is ideally suited for the study of very exotic nuclides that will only be produced at the FAIR facility. Laser spectroscopy of radioactive isotopes and isomers is an efficient and model-independent approach for the determination of nuclear ground and isomeric state properties. Hyperfine structures and isotope shifts in electronic transitions exhibit readily accessible information on the nuclear spin, magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments as well as root-mean-square charge radii. The dependencies of the hyperfine splitting and isotope shift on the nuclear moments and mean square nuclear charge radii are well known and the theoretical framework for the extraction of nuclear parameters is well established. These extracted parameters provide fundamental information on the structure of nuclei at the limits of stability. Vital information on both bulk and valence nuclear properties are derived and an exceptional sensitivity to changes in nuclear deformation is achieved. Laser spectroscopy provides the only mechanism for such studies in exotic systems and uniquely facilitates these studies in a model-independent manner. The accuracy of laser-spectroscopic-determined nuclear properties is very high. Requirements concerning production rates are moderate; collinear spectroscopy has been performed with production rates as few as 100 ions per second and laser-desorption resonance ionization mass spectroscopy (combined with beta-delayed neutron detection) has been achieved with rates of only a few atoms per second. This Technical Design Report describes a new Penning trap mass spectrometry setup as well as a number of complementary experimental devices for laser spectroscopy, which will provide a complete system with respect to the physics and isotopes that can be studied. Since MATS and LaSpec require high-quality low-energy beams, the two collaborations have a common beamline to stop the radioactive beam of in-flight produced isotopes and prepare them in a suitable way for transfer to the MATS and LaSpec setups, respectively.

  • On the Quantification of Sustainability and Extensibility of FlexRay Schedules
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: <em>Design Automation Conference (DAC), 2011 48th ACM/EDAC/IEEE</em>. - New York, USA : ACM. - 9781450306362 ; , s. 375-380

    • FlexRay has emerged as the de-facto next generation in-vehicle communication protocol. Messages are scheduled incrementally on FlexRay according to the automotive design paradigm where new applications are added iteratively. On this account, the schedules must be (i) sustainable, i.e., when messages are added in later iterations, they must preserve deadline guarantees of existing messages and (ii) extensible, i.e., they must accommodate future messages without changes to existing schedules. Unfortunately, traditionally used metrics of sustainability and extensibility for timing and schedulability analysis are generic and can not be trivially adapted to FlexRay schedules. This is because of platform-specific properties of FlexRay like being a hybrid paradigm, where both time-triggered and event-triggered segments are used for communication. In this paper, we first introduce new notions of sustainability and extensibility for FlexRay that capture protocol-specific properties and then present novel metrics to quantify sustainable and extensible schedules. We demonstrate the applicability of our results with industrial-size case studies and show that our proposed metrics may be visually represented allowing easy interpretation by system designers in the automotive industry.

    • The design process for automotive electronics isan iterative process, where new components and distributedapplications are added over several design cycles incrementally.Hence, at each design iteration an existing communicationschedule is extended by new messages that have to be scheduledappropriately. In this paper, the goal has been to synthesizeschedules under real-time constraints for the dynamic segmentof FlexRay with respect to the 64-cycle protocol specification. Wepropose a flexible scheduling framework to generate all feasibleschedules for a set of messages satisfying real-time and protocolconstraints. Further, we present an optimization procedure toretain schedules according to suitable design metrics. Eventhough the size of the possible design space is exponential inthe number of messages, our proposed method keeps down theschedule synthesis time to practically acceptable values as shownin the experiments.

  • Quantifying Notions of Extensibility in FlexRay Schedule Synthesis
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems. - : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 1084-4309 .- 1557-7309. ; 19:4, s. 32-

    • FlexRay has now become a well-established in-vehicle communication bus at most original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as BMW, Audi, and GM. Given the increasing cost of verification and the high degree of crosslinking between components in automotive architectures, an incremental design process is commonly followed. In order to incorporate FlexRay-based designs in such a process, the resulting schedules must be extensible, that is: (i) when messages are added in later iterations, they must preserve deadline guarantees of already scheduled messages, and (ii) they must accommodate as many new messages as possible without changes to existing schedules. Apart from extensible scheduling having not received much attention so far, traditional metrics used for quantifying them cannot be trivially adapted to FlexRay schedules. This is because they do not exploit specific properties of the FlexRay protocol. In this article we, for the first time, introduce new notions of extensibility for FlexRay that capture all the protocol-specific properties. In particular, we focus on the dynamic segment of FlexRay and we present a number of metrics to quantify extensible schedules. Based on the introduced metrics, we propose strategies to synthesize extensible schedules and compare the results of different scheduling algorithms. We demonstrate the applicability of the results with industrial-size case studies and also show that the proposed metrics may also be visually represented, thereby allowing for easy interpretation.

  • Functional and evolutionary insights from the genomes of three parasitoid Nasonia species.
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Science. - : American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). - 0036-8075 .- 1095-9203. ; 327:5963, s. 343-8
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We report here genome sequences and comparative analyses of three closely related parasitoid wasps: Nasonia vitripennis, N. giraulti, and N. longicornis. Parasitoids are important regulators of arthropod populations, including major agricultural pests and disease vectors, and Nasonia is an emerging genetic model, particularly for evolutionary and developmental genetics. Key findings include the identification of a functional DNA methylation tool kit; hymenopteran-specific genes including diverse venoms; lateral gene transfers among Pox viruses, Wolbachia, and Nasonia; and the rapid evolution of genes involved in nuclear-mitochondrial interactions that are implicated in speciation. Newly developed genome resources advance Nasonia for genetic research, accelerate mapping and cloning of quantitative trait loci, and will ultimately provide tools and knowledge for further increasing the utility of parasitoids as pest insect-control agents.

  • Mild Therapeutic Hypothermia After Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Complicating ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction : Long-term Results in Clinical Practice
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Clinical Cardiology. - : Wiley. - 0160-9289 .- 1932-8737. ; 36:7, s. 414-421
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BackgroundRecently, mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) has been integrated into the European resuscitation guidelines to improve outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Data on long-term results are limited, especially in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). HypothesisInvasive MTH influences long-term prognosis after OHCA due to STEMI. MethodsWe analyzed 48 patients who underwent emergency coronary angiography for STEMI after witnessed OHCA. In 24 consecutive patients, MTH was performed via intravascular cooling (CoolGard System, 34 degrees C maintained for 24 hours) after initialization by rapid infusion of cold saline. Clinical, procedural, and mortality data were compared to 24 historical controls. Neurological recovery was assessed using the Cerebral Performance Category score (CPC) at 30-day and 1-year follow-up. ResultsMedian time delay until arrival of emergency medical service was 6 minutes (MTH group) vs 6.5 minutes (controls) (P=0.16). Initial rhythm was ventricular fibrillation in 75% vs 66.7% (P=0.75). There were no differences regarding baseline characteristics, angiographic findings, and success of cardiac catheterization procedures. MTH was not associated with a higher frequency of bleeding complications or of pneumonia. Thirty-day mortality was 33.3% in both groups. One-year mortality was 37.5% (MTH group) vs 50% (controls) (P=0.56). At 1 year, favorable neurological outcome (CPC 2) was significantly more frequent in the MTH group (58.3% vs 20.8%, P=0.017). Multivariate analysis identified MTH as independent predictor of favorable neurological outcome (P<0.02, odds ratio: 12.73). ConclusionsMTH via intravascular cooling improves neurological long-term prognosis after OHCA due to STEMI and is safe in clinical practice.

  • Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction : Long-term survival and neurological outcome
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Cardiology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0167-5273 .- 1874-1754. ; 166:1, s. 236-241
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND:Predictors of long-term outcome after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are incompletely understood, including the influence of successful coronary reperfusion.METHODS:We analysed clinical and procedural data as well as 1-year outcome of 72 consecutive patients who underwent primary coronary intervention (PCI) after witnessed OHCA and STEMI and compared the results with 695 patients with STEMI and PCI, but without OHCA. Neurological recovery after OHCA was assessed using the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scale.RESULTS:PCI was successful in 83.3% after OHCA vs. 84.3% in the non-OHCA group (p=0.87). One-year mortality was 34.7% vs. 9.5% (p<0.001). 58.3% of the OHCA-patients showed complete neurological recovery (CPC 1) or moderate neurological disability (CPC 2). Another 6.9% showed severe cerebral disability (CPC 3) or permanent vegetative status (CPC 4). Delay from collapse until start of Advanced Cardiopulmonary Life Support (ACLS) was shorter for survivors with CPC status ≤2 (median 1min, range 0-11min) compared to non-survivors or survivors with CPC status >2 (median 8min, range 0-13min), p<0.0001. Age-adjusted multivariate analysis identified 'unsuccessful PCI', 'vasopressors on admission' and 'start of ACLS after >6min' as independent predictors of negative long-term outcome (death or CPC >2).CONCLUSIONS: Mortality is high in patients with STEMI complicated by OHCA - even though PCI was performed with the same success rate as in patients without OHCA. The majority of survivors had favourable neurological outcomes at 1year, especially if advanced life support had been started within ≤6min and PCI was successful.
