Progeroide Syndrome

Progeroide Syndrome sind seltene angeborene Erkrankungen, die durch Anzeichen vorzeitiger bzw. beschleunigter Alterung und bereits in frühen Jahren auftretende altersassoziierte Krankheiten wie Herzerkrankungen oder Krebs gekennzeichnet sind. Wir erforschen progeroide Syndrome, ihre Ursachen und zugrundeliegenden molekularen Mechanismen und gewinnen so auch Einblicke in den natürlichen Alterungsvorgang beim Menschen und die Pathogenese häufiger altersassoziierter Erkrankungen wie Herzinsuffizienz oder Krebs. Von uns besonders intensiv erforschte progeroide Syndromen sind u.a. das Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch-Syndrom, das Hallermann-Streiff-Syndrom und das Bloom-Syndrom.

Genomische Instabilität

Wie verursachen bestimmte genetische Veränderungen genomische und strukturelle Veränderungen in Herzmuskelzellen? Um dies herauszufinden, kombinieren wir verschiedene Techniken der Hochdurchsatzsequenzierung in unserem Teilprojekt „Neue Mechanismen der genomischen Instabilität bei Herzinsuffizienz“ des DFG-geförderten SFB1002 „Modulatorische Einheiten bei Herzinsuffizienz“ (Sprecher: Gerd Hasenfuß, Klinik für Kardiologie und Pneumologie). Wir stellen aus Patientenzellen induzierte pluripotente Stammzellen her, die wir dann in Kardiomyozyten differenzieren, um spezifische Varianten funktionell zu charakterisieren. Außerdem möchten wir mehr darüber wissen, welche genomischen Prozesse die Stabilität der DNA beeinträchtigen und zur Herzschwäche führen. In unserem Projekt „SP-Z: NGS-basierte Strategien zur systematischen Analyse von Genom- und Chromosomeninstabilität“ in der DFG-Forschergruppe FOR2800 „Chromosomale Instabilität: Funktionelle Wechselwirkungen von DNA-Replikationsstress und mitotischer Fehlfunktion“ (Sprecher: Holger Bastians, Institut für Molekulare Onkologie) analysieren wir mittels Einzelzell-RNA- sowie Einzelzell-Genom-Sequenzierung die Auswirkungen der Genominstabilität auf Genaktivität und Transkriptionsprofile, um die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Stressfaktoren der DNA-Replikation und gestörter Zellteilung besser zu verstehen.

Molekulare und zelluläre Mechanismen der Alterung

Eine Vielzahl von Faktoren greifen im Alterungsprozess auf molekularer und zellulärer Ebene ineinander und sorgen dafür, dass Zellen mit zunehmender Lebensdauer ihre Funktion einbüßen. Wir entwickeln kreative Strategien, um mit Techniken wie der Einzelzell-Genomsequenzierung, Long-Read-Sequenzierung und hoch-auflösenden Mikroskopieverfahren zu beleuchten, wie sich Defekte in DNA-Reparaturmechanismen, mitochondriale Dysfunktion oder veränderte Telomerdynamiken auf genomische Prozesse auswirken und zur Alterung beitragen.

Therapeutische Genomeditierung bei erblichen Herzerkrankungen

Unser Ziel ist es, nach Bestimmung von neuen ursächlichen Genvarianten für erbliche Herzerkrankungen spezifische molekulare Therapien auf der Basis der CRISPR/Cas9-Genomeditierung zu entwickeln. Hierzu etablieren wir die gezielte Editierung in geeigneten Zellmodellen, wie z.B. aus induzierten pluripotenten Stammzellen (iPSCs) generierte, die spezifische Mutation tragende Kardiomyozyten. Diese Arbeiten werden vom Deutschen Zentrum für Herz-Kreislaufforschung e.V. unterstützt. Im Rahmen unserer Projekte entschlüsseln wir zusätzlich neue Gene und Mechanismen erblicher Formen der hypertrophen und dilatativen Kardiomyopathie, um auch diese zukünftig über therapeutische Genomeditierung möglicherweise therapieren zu können.

NGS-basierte Strategien zur Identifizierung neuer Krankheitsgene für seltene Erkrankungen

Durch die Entwicklung und Umsetzung innovativer NGS-basierter Strategien gelingt es uns, kontinuierlich bislang unbeschriebene Krankheitsgene und ursächliche Genvarianten für seltene Erkrankungen zu identifizieren, wie z.B. SEC24C, MED26, CELA3A, NARF, FILIP1, YRDC, WARS1, SARS1, RPL3L, DNM1, PCDHGC4. Funktionelle Analysen der identifizierten Varianten geben uns neue Einblicke in molekulare Mechanismen der Pathogenese.

Exzellenzcluster MBExC

Das Exzellenzcluster MBExC „Multiscale Bioimaging: Von molekularen Maschinen zu Netzwerken erregbarer Zellen“ (Sprecher: Tobias Moser, Institut für Auditorische Neurowissenschaften) erforscht grundlegende Prozesse in Herz und Hirn von der molekularen bis zur Organebene, um krankheitsrelevante Funktionseinheiten von Herz- und Nervenzellen zu entschlüsseln. Bernd Wollnik ist MBExC-Projektleiter in den Forschungsallianzen 1.1 Mitochondriale Genexpression und 1.2 Epigenetische Regulierung der Transkription. In unserem Projekt “Molekulare Mechanismen von Prozessen der beschleunigten Alterung in Progerie-Phänotypen“ nutzen wir z.B. neue Ansätze der Einzelzell-RNA-Sequenzierung, um spezifische epigenetische Signaturen und mitochondriale Expressionsprofile in Alterungsphänotypen zu bestimmen.
