  text: The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is probably a heterotrimer with three
    well characterized subunits (alphabetagamma). In humans an additional delta-subunit
    (delta-hENaC) exists but little is known about its function. Using the Xenopus
    laevis oocyte expression system, we compared the functional properties of alphabetagamma-
    and deltabetagamma-hENaC and investigated whether deltabetagamma-hENaC can be
    proteolytically activated. The amiloride-sensitive ENaC whole-cell current (DeltaI(ami))
    was about 11-fold larger in oocytes expressing deltabetagamma-hENaC than in oocytes
    expressing alphabetagamma-hENaC. The 2-fold larger single-channel Na(+) conductance
    of deltabetagamma-hENaC cannot explain this difference. Using a chemiluminescence
    assay, we demonstrated that an increased channel surface expression is also not
    the cause. Thus, overall channel activity of deltabetagamma-hENaC must be higher
    than that of alphabetagamma-hENaC. Experiments exploiting the properties of the
    known betaS520C mutant ENaC confirmed this conclusion. Moreover, chymotrypsin
    had a reduced stimulatory effect on deltabetagamma-hENaC whole-cell currents compared
    with its effect on alphabetagamma-hENaC whole-cell currents (2-fold versus 5-fold).
    This suggests that the cell surface pool of so-called near-silent channels that
    can be proteolytically activated is smaller for deltabetagamma-hENaC than for
    alphabetagamma-hENaC. Proteolytic activation of deltabetagamma-hENaC was associated
    with the appearance of a delta-hENaC cleavage product at the cell surface. Finally,
    we demonstrated that a short inhibitory 13-mer peptide corresponding to a region
    of the extracellular loop of human alpha-ENaC inhibited DeltaI(ami) in oocytes
    expressing alphabetagamma-hENaC but not in those expressing deltabetagamma-hENaC.
    We conclude that the delta-subunit of ENaC alters proteolytic channel activation
    and enhances base-line channel activity.

  text: The lipid environment of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and its possible
    association with so-called lipid rafts may be relevant to its function. The aim
    of our study was to confirm the association of ENaC with lipid rafts and to analyze
    the effect of cholesterol depletion of the plasma membrane by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin
    (MbetaCD) on channel function and regulation. Using sucrose density gradient centrifugation
    we demonstrated that a significant portion of ENaC protein distributes to low
    density fractions thought to be typical lipid raft fractions. Importantly, cholesterol
    depletion of cell lysate by MbetaCD shifted ENaC to non-raft fractions of higher
    density. Live cell imaging demonstrated that treatment with MbetaCD largely reduced
    filipin staining over time, confirming cholesterol depletion of the plasma membrane.
    For electrophysiological studies intact oocytes were exposed to 20 mM MbetaCD
    for three hours. MbetaCD treatment had no consistent effect on baseline whole-cell
    ENaC currents. In addition to the typical single channel conductance of about
    5 pS, subconductance states of ENaC were occasionally observed in patches from
    MbetaCD treated but not from control oocytes. Importantly, in outside-out patch
    clamp recordings the stimulatory effect of recombinant SGK1 in the pipette solution
    was essentially abolished in oocytes pretreated with MbetaCD. These results indicate
    that ENaC activation by cytosolic SGK1 is compromised by removing cholesterol
    from the plasma membrane. Thus, ENaC activation by SGK1 may require the presence
    of an intact lipid environment and/or of lipid rafts as signalling platform.

  text: We describe a programming scheme for massively distributed systems that are
    assumed to self-organize according to a given set of simple rules. The focus of
    this investigation is operation and control in Sensor and Actor Networks (SANETs).
    The main issues addressed by self-organization techniques are scalability, network
    lifetime, and real-time support. In the literature, biological principles are
    often cited as inspirations for technical solutions, especially in the domain
    of self-organization. We developed a system named Rule-based Sensor Network (RSN)
    according to the observed communication and control behavior in cellular communication.
    Cellular signaling cascades allow the event-specific reaction initiated by individual
    cells in collaboration with their direct neighbors. Information between cells
    are transmitted via proteins and result in the cascade of protein-protein or protein-DNA
    interactions to produce a specific cellular answer, e.g. the activation of cells
    or the transmission of mediators. These processes are programmed in every individual
    cell and lead to a coordinated reaction on a higher organization platform. We
    transferred these mechanisms to operation and control in SANETs. In particular,
    a rule-based processing scheme relying on the main concepts of cellular signaling
    cascades has been developed. It relies on simple local rules and provides problem
    specific reaction such as local actuation control and data manipulation. We describe
    this RSN technology and demonstrate comparative simulation results that show the
    feasibility of our approach.

  text: The mechanisms by which proteases activate the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)
    are not yet fully understood. We investigated the effect of extracellular proteases
    on rat ENaC heterologously expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Application of
    trypsin increased ENaC whole-oocyte currents by about 8-fold without a concomitant
    increase in channel surface expression. The stimulatory effect of trypsin was
    preserved in oocytes expressing alphagamma-ENaC, but was abolished in oocytes
    expressing alphabeta-ENaC. Thus, the gamma-subunit appears to be essential for
    channel activation by extracellular proteases. Site-directed mutagenesis of a
    putative prostasin cleavage site in the extracellular loop of the gamma-subunit
    revealed that mutating the 181Lys residue to alanine (gammaK181A) increases ENaC
    baseline whole-oocyte currents, decreases channel surface expression, and largely
    reduces the stimulatory effect of extracellular proteases (trypsin, chymotrypsin
    and human neutrophil elastase). In single-channel recordings from outside-out
    patches we demonstrated that the gammaK181A mutation essentially abolishes the
    activation of near-silent channels by trypsin, while a stimulatory effect of trypsin
    on channel gating is preserved. This apparent dual effect of trypsin on channel
    gating and on the recruitment of near-silent channels was confirmed by experiments
    using the beta518C mutant ENaC which can be converted to a channel with an open
    probability of nearly one by exposure to a sulfhydryl reagent. Interestingly,
    the gammaK181A mutation results in the spontaneous appearance of a 67 kDa fragment
    of the gamma-subunit in the plasma membrane which can be prevented by a furin
    inhibitor and also occurs after channel activation by extracellular trypsin. This
    suggests that the mutation promotes channel cleavage and activation by endogenous
    proteases. This would lower the pool of near-silent channels and explain the constitutive
    activation and reduced responsiveness of the mutant channel to extracellular proteases.
    We conclude that the mutated site (K181A) affects a region in the gamma-subunit
    of ENaC that is functionally important for the activation of near-silent channels
    by extracellular proteases.

  text: Expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in endothelial cells
    is modulated by shear stress affecting the organization of the cytoskeleton. The
    molecular connection between alterations of actin and CTGF expression was investigated
    in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and a microvascular endothelial
    cell line. Overexpression of nonpolymerizable monomeric actin R62D interfered
    with stress fiber formation in HUVEC and concomitantly reduced immunoreactive
    CTGF. In microvascular endothelial cells, flow-dependent upregulation of CTGF
    was prevented by this actin mutant. In contrast, overexpression of actin S14C
    strengthened filamentous actin and increased CTGF expression. These data indicated
    an inverse relationship between CTGF expression and monomeric actin. Coexpression
    of the mutant actins and different CTGF promoter constructs revealed an actin-sensitive
    site between 3 and 4.5 kb of the CTGF promoter. A CArG-like box at -3791 bp was
    responsible for actin-dependent CTGF induction as shown by mutagenesis. Overexpression
    of actin S14C activated the nonmutated promoter significantly more strongly than
    the mutated promoter. Actin polymerization is regulated by the small GTPase RhoA
    and activation of serum response factor (SRF). Overexpression of constitutively
    active RhoA or SRF significantly increased CTGF protein synthesis. The 4.5-kb
    promoter construct, but not the construct with a mutation in the CArG box, was
    activated by SRF or RhoA, providing evidence for a functional role of this site
    in CTGF induction. These findings provide novel evidence that monomeric actin
    is the connecting link between alterations in the cytoskeleton and CTGF gene expression
    and demonstrate the importance of SRF in regulating CTGF transcription.

  text: 'The investigation and the development of self-organizing systems are especially
    needed for operation and control in massively distributed systems such as Sensor
    and Actor Networks (SANETs). The main issues addressed by self-organization techniques
    are scalability, network lifetime, and real-time support. In the literature, biological
    principles are often cited as inspirations for technical solutions, especially
    in the domain of self-organization. This concept already resulted in a good number
    of solutions with significant impact such as ant-based routing and immune system
    inspired network security solutions. In this paper, another specific biological
    field is investigated: cellular signaling cascades for event-specific reaction
    initiated by individual cells in collaboration with their direct neighbors. Information
    between cells are transmitted via proteins and result in the cascade of protein–protein
    or protein–DNA interactions to produce a specific cellular answer, e.g. the activation
    of cells or the transmission of mediators. These processes are programmed in every
    individual cell and lead to a coordinated reaction on a higher organization platform.
    We transferred these mechanisms to operation and control in SANETs. In particular,
    a rule-based processing scheme relying on the main concepts of cellular signaling
    cascades has been developed. It is relying on simple local rules and providing
    problem specific reaction such as local actuation control and data manipulation.
    We describe this Rule-based Sensor Network (RSN) technology and demonstrate comparative
    simulation results that show the feasibility of our approach.'

  text: In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), address-based routing approaches often
    lead to severe problems due to node mobility, energy-saving sleep-cycles, and
    often missing or unreliable address information. Data-centric routing schemes
    such as flooding or gossiping solve these problems but may lead to congestion
    or starvation. Based on biologically inspired mechanisms known from cellular signaling
    pathways, we discovered potentials in enhancing the communication required for
    self-organization in network environments suffering from data paths with low reliability
    and time variations of the reliability. Using an importance factor for particular
    transmissions in combination with feedback loops, the overall quality of the global
    system can be increased. The resulting algorithm, Weighted Probabilistic Data
    Dissemination (WPDD), includes an inherent adaptation to changing network conditions.
    Congestion control is supported as well as prioritized data communication. This
    paper outlines the working behavior of WPDD and demonstrates its applicability
    based on selected simulation results.

  text: The role of glomerular endothelial cells in kidney fibrosis remains incompletely
    understood. While endothelia are indispensable for repair of acute damage, they
    can produce extracellular matrix proteins and profibrogenic cytokines that promote
    fibrogenesis. We used a murine cell line with all features of glomerular endothelial
    cells (glEND.2), which dissected the effects of vascular endothelial growth factor
    (VEGF) on cell migration, proliferation, and profibrogenic cytokine production.
    VEGF dose-dependently induced glEND.2 cell migration and proliferation, accompanied
    by up-regulation of VEGFR-2 phosphorylation and mRNA expression. VEGF induced
    a profibrogenic gene expression profile, including up-regulation of TGF-beta1
    mRNA, enhanced TGF-beta1 secretion, and bioactivity. VEGF-induced endothelial
    cell migration and TGF-beta1 induction were mediated by the phosphatidyl-inositol-3
    kinase pathway, while proliferation was dependent on the Erk1/2 MAP kinase pathway.
    This suggests that differential modulation of glomerular angiogenesis by selective
    inhibition of the two identified VEGF-induced signaling pathways could be a therapeutic
    approach to treat kidney fibrosis.

  text: Autonomous networking has become the buzzword for attempts of building high-scalable
    network architectures, which are self-organizing, self-maintaining and self-healing.
    Few of these approaches were successful and none has shown to provide all the
    promised functions. We try to study the processes in computer networks using molecular
    processes as the paradigm. This novel approach shows many similarities between
    computer networking and cellular mechanisms. In this paper, we focus on the area
    of network security as one research area with high demand for high-scalable mechanisms
    providing the needed functionality. After identifying similarities between nature
    and technology, we discuss potential research domains, which are high potentials
    for learning directly from molecular biology using the example of security threats
    in communication networks. We see the proposed mechanism as a generic approach
    for autonomous networking. The countermeasures against attacks in computer networks
    are only a special example to introduce the mechanisms.

  text: Bio-inspired communication methodologies promise to enable more scalable self-organizing
    network infrastructures. Especially in the area of mobile ad hoc sensor networks,
    such solutions are required in order to qualify them for simplified development
    and deployment based on autonomously evolving mechanisms to work on global tasks,
    i.e. to show an emergent behavior. In this paper, we introduce the ongoing research
    of our Autonomic Networking group focused on the developments on efficient data
    dissemination in sensor networks. A particular example of how to study biological
    processes and to adapt the results in communication networks, the feedback loop
    mechanism, depicts the potentials of this research area.

  text: Besides to classical research area of bioinformatics, the turn to nature for
    solutions to technological questions has brought us many unforeseen great concepts.
    This encouraging course seems to hold on for many aspects in technology. Many
    efforts were made in the area of computer technology employing mechanisms known
    from biological systems. The most known examples are evolutionary algorithms and
    the artificial immune system. One application is in network security, e.g. for
    the search for viruses and worms, where the immune system was used as an inspiration.In
    contrast, the focus of our group lays on trying to map the cellular and molecular
    biology to networking architectures. Recently, it was shown that the known approaches
    to study effects in computer networking, especially methods to analyze the behavior
    of large scale networks suffer from many presumptions. We try to study this behavior
    by analyzing the internal functioning of network components as well as there interactions
    in comparison with cellular systems and the associated intra and extra cellular
    signaling pathways.The main focus of this work is to show the similarities of
    computer networks and cellular systems. Based on the knowledge about cellular
    metabolism, new concepts for the behavior patterns of routers, monitor systems,
    and firewalls can be deduced and the efficiency of individual sub-systems can
    be increased. Focusing on examples of hot topics in the computer society, i.e.
    network security, potential solutions motivated by cellular behavior are currently
    studied and, hopefully, will soon bring new results in these areas.Independently
    from these examinations, we try to show the power of our novel approach by introducing
    the basic mechanisms and interactions as well as a self-evident application. Doing
    this, we must keep in mind that the deeper the parallels between biology and technology,
    the more important it is to map the corresponding elements correctly.

  text: Autonomous networking has become the buzzword for attempts of building high-scalable
    network architectures, which are self-organizing, self-maintaining and self-healing.
    Few of these approaches were successful and none has shown to provide all the
    promised functions. We try to study the processes in computer networks using molecular
    processes as the paradigm. This novel approach shows many similarities between
    computer networking and cellular mechanisms. In this paper, we focus on the area
    of network security as one research area with high demand for high-scalable mechanisms
    providing the needed functionality. After identifying similarities between nature
    and technology, we discuss potential research domains, which are high potentials
    for learning directly from biology at the example of security attacks in networks.
    We see the proposed mechanism as a generic approach for autonomous networking.
    The countermeasures against attacks in computer networks are only a special example
    to introduce the mechanisms.
