Fifteen researchers from three universities (Medical University of Graz, University of Graz, Graz University of Technology) have developed a multidisciplinary graduate training program to investigate the molecular mechanisms and cellular functions involved in the pathogenesis of metabolic and cardiovascular disease. The thematic diversity of the DK-MCD ensures broad exposure of the participating students to important issues in biomedicine. Research topics were selected to maximize exchange within the consortium concerning technical proficiency and advances in biomedical research. Importantly, the DK-MCD is sufficiently diverse to encourage students to look beyond the focus of their own research. \r\nTo provide a stimulating and provocative research environment, the DK-MCD faculty was chosen for their excellence in research as indicated by publishing and funding records as well as their excellence in teaching. The faculty represents a well-balanced combination of established and junior scientists. Especially in the latter group female researchers have a prominent role. All DK-MCD faculty members are involved in local, national and international research networks. Thus, the DK-MCD will be embedded in an established inter-laboratory cooperation and communication environment. Faculty members contribute to this initiative by their scientific background in both basic research and clinical medicine. Their technical expertise is complemented by excellent infrastructure and state-of-the-art technology for biomedical research.\r\nThe DK-MCD faculty is well experienced in training doctoral students. The biomedically-oriented DK-MCD curriculum complements the existing biotechnology-oriented DK-Plus \"Molecular Enzymology\". Therefore, our initiative fills an existing gap and covers essential educational aspects for life sciences not yet available in Graz. \r\nThe DK-MCD provides a challenging PhD education program which is unique because it (i) comprises a multidisciplinary faculty from three local universities, (ii) requires (inter)national student exchange and (iii) covers major topics in metabolic and cardiovascular disease from basic research to clinical aspects in a translational approach. We are confident that the DK-MCD will attract highly motivated and dedicated students seeking knowledge and skills that will enable them to pursue careers in areas of growing importance for health and society.\r\n" }, "begin_planned": "2009-03-01T01:00:00+01:00", "begin_effective": "2010-07-01T02:00:00+02:00", "end_planned": "2012-02-28T01:00:00+01:00", "end_effective": "2014-06-30T02:00:00+02:00", "assignment": "2010-10-20T13:09:58+02:00", "program": 66, "subprogram": null, "organization": 14020, "category": 10, "type": 10, "partner_function": 3, "manager": null, "contact": null, "status": 2, "research": 1, "grant": 10, "event": null, "study": null, "language": null, "funders": [ 9 ], "funder_projectcode": "W1226", "ethics_committee": null, "edudract_number": null, "persons": [ "2330-50903-12", "2330-57409-12", "2330-89734-12" ] }, { "id": 2027, "title": { "de": "Effects of 25-OH-vitamin D supplementation in coronary artery disease patients with postprandial hyperglycemia and vitamin D deficiency on endothelial function and insulin sensitivity", "en": "Effects of 25-OH-vitamin D supplementation in coronary artery disease patients with postprandial hyperglycemia and vitamin D deficiency on endothelial function and insulin sensitivity" }, "short": "VITAMIN D_CORONARY ARTERY", "url": null, "abstract": { "de": null, "en": null }, "begin_planned": "2010-03-01T01:00:00+01:00", "begin_effective": "2010-03-01T01:00:00+01:00", "end_planned": "2012-02-28T01:00:00+01:00", "end_effective": "2013-02-28T01:00:00+01:00", "assignment": "2009-12-22T13:08:42+01:00", "program": 79, "subprogram": null, "organization": 14080, "category": 10, "type": 10, "partner_function": 4, "manager": 50838, "contact": 50838, "status": 2, "research": 2, "grant": 10, "event": null, "study": null, "language": null, "funders": [ 12 ], "funder_projectcode": null, "ethics_committee": null, "edudract_number": null, "persons": [ "2027-50838-10" ] }, { "id": 1820, "title": { "de": "NANO-AS: Nano-Tox-Verlängerung", "en": "NANO-AS: Nano-Tox-Verlängerung" }, "short": "NANO-AS", "url": null, "abstract": { "de": "The increasing incidence of cancer and of degenerative diseases, the latter increasingly in relatively young patientes, call for a new healthcare model that is more proactive, i.e. that detects disease pre-symptomatically when it is more amenable to treatment, more personalised, i.e. based on the growing knowledge about the molecular mechanisms underlying disease, less traumatic and more targeted, i.e. that non-invasively or minimally invasively and specifically treats the affected tissue or organ(s) and allows more informed interventions, i.e. That enables the progress of therapy and relapse to be followed in as close to real time as possible.\r\nThe extended project will build on the achievements of NANO-HEALTH made to date.

The following topics will be pursued:\r\n*Further development of thiomers for oral and topical (depot)delivery of active substances\r\n*(Based on the successful results obtained so far) large scale production processes for nano-thiomers and PLA-HSA-based NPs\r\n*Development of targeted imaging for cancer using MRI\r\n*Stem cell tracking in vivo\r\n*Atherosclerotic plaque detection\r\n*Chronic

lipotoxicity in tumor-associated cachexia\r\nObjective: To elucidate possible causes and effects of tumor-induced lipotoxicity on the proteome level.\r\nCachexia is commonly recognized as progressive weight loss with depletion of host reserves of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle and associated with cancers of gastrointestinal tract and lung. Survival of cancer patients is directly related to weight loss. The reduction of food intake alone is unable to explain the metabolic changes seen in cachexia. Moreover, loss of muscle and adipose tissue precedes the fall in food intake. The causes and mechanisms responsible for tumor-associated cachexia remain to be unravelled. Preliminary data generated in Gerald Hoefler´s laboratory demonstrate an involvement of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) in the development of cachexia. While implantation of Lewis lung carcinoma cells into wild-type mice resulted in a vast reduction of gastrognemious muscle and white adipose tissue and a minor reduction in heart weight, none of these effects were seen in ATGL-ko mice.\r\nTissues from cachexia mouse models will be obtained from G. Hoefler. Proteomes from gastrognemious muscle, adipose tissues, liver, heart and spleen of wild-type and ATGL-ko mice with and without transplanted tumor will be profiled with respect to protein abundance by differential gelelectrophoresis (DIGE) and/or isotope labeling, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Phosphoproteomics of selected cellular fractions will be performed using immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC, TiO2) for phosphopeptide enrichment, isotopic labeling for quantification, LC-MS with phospho-group neutral loss scanning and database search for phospho-group modifications. Differences in lipase and esterase activities will be assessed by activity-based proteomics employing suitable probes (developed by the applicant) and by standard proteomic techniques.\r\n\r\nRegulatory and compensatory mechanisms of lipolytic pathways\r\nBackground: While the lipolytic proteome of mouse adipose tissue has been identified (3), many of the underlying regulatory processes remain unknown. Therefore, regulatory and compensatory mechanisms of lipolytic pathways as well as changes in the overall proteome will be determined upon shut down of individual pathways (e.g. in hormone sensitive lipase (HSL)- and ATGL-deficient mice). The phenotypes of the respective mouse models differ greatly with regard to body weight, lipid accumulation, fertility and organ specific defects. Thus, large effects are expected to be observed on the protein level in adipose and other tissues as well as in macrophages and foam cells.\r\nObjective: To elucidate the underlying regulatory, compensatory and pathogenic mechanisms of lipid accumulation on the proteome level.\r\nProteins interacting with recently identified lipases, as well as lipid droplet-associated proteins, which might regulate substrate accessibility, will be isolated from tissue fractions or cell lines, identified by LC-MS and analyzed for the presence of isomers and post-translational modifications, especially phosphorylation. Related tissue/cell fractions or immunoprecipitations will be profiled with respect to protein abundance by DIGE and/or isotopic labelling and LC-MS. Selected proteins will be confirmed by Western blotting. Phosphoproteomics and activity-based proteomics will be applied as described in Project 1.\r\n", "en": null }, "begin_planned": "2009-03-01T01:00:00+01:00", "begin_effective": "2010-07-01T02:00:00+02:00", "end_planned": "2012-02-28T01:00:00+01:00", "end_effective": "2014-06-30T02:00:00+02:00", "assignment": "2010-10-20T13:09:58+02:00", "program": 66, "subprogram": null, "organization": 28394, "category": 10, "type": 10, "partner_function": 2, "manager": 58794, "contact": 58794, "status": 2, "research": 1, "grant": 10, "event": null, "study": null, "language": null, "funders": [ 9 ], "funder_projectcode": "W1226", "ethics_committee": null, "edudract_number": null, "persons": [ "2654-58794-10" ] }, { "id": 2660, "title": { "de": "Doktoratskolleg \"Metabolische und kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen\" ", "en": "Doktoratskolleg: \"Metabolic and cardiovascular disease\"" }, "short": "DK_METABOL_DISORDERS", "url": null, "abstract": { "de": null, "en": null }, "begin_planned": "2009-03-01T01:00:00+01:00", "begin_effective": "2010-07-01T02:00:00+02:00", "end_planned": "2012-02-28T01:00:00+01:00", "end_effective": "2014-06-30T02:00:00+02:00", "assignment": "2010-10-20T13:09:58+02:00", "program": 66, "subprogram": null, "organization": 14081, "category": 10, "type": 10, "partner_function": 2, "manager": null, "contact": null, "status": 2, "research": 2, "grant": 10, "event": null, "study": null, "language": null, "funders": [ 9 ], "funder_projectcode": "W1226", "ethics_committee": null, "edudract_number": null, "persons": [ "2660-66436-12" ] } ] }
