    • The present invention is based on two important experimental observations: The first observation is that increased extracellular concentrations of ionized calcium are found in erosive arthritis and stimulate monocytic IL-1β release via the CaSR and GPRC6A. Simultaneous stimulation of monocytes with calcium ions and selected TLR ligands results in a 20-fold increased IL1β response compared to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) alone. During the crosstalk between GPCR and TLR signaling, phospholipase C is activated, which triggers calcium dependent potassium channels, resulting in potassium efflux, caspase-1 activation and IL-1β release. The amplification of IL1β secretion at sites of locally increased calcium ion concentrations aggravates rheumatoid arthritis. The second important observation is that both CaSR and GPRC6A, are highly expressed in the synovial membrane of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, but expression of GPRC6A, but not of CaSR, is lower in patients with osteoarthritis (s. FIG. 1). The latter is generally not accompanied by inflammation. Thus, expression of GPRC6A appears to be upregulated in chronic inflammatory situations. Based on these experimental observations the invention provides a method and compositions for the identification of agents that have a potential effect against chronic inflammatory conditions, in particular erosive arthritis and atherosclerosis.
    • 本发明基于两个重要的实验观察:第一个观察结果是在侵蚀性关节炎中发现电离钙的细胞外浓度增加,并通过CaSR和GPRC6A刺激单核细胞IL-1beta的释放。 使用钙离子和选择的TLR配体同时刺激单核细胞导致与单独的脂多糖(LPS)相比,IL1beta反应增加20倍。 在GPCR和TLR信号传导之间的串扰中,磷脂酶C被激活,其触发钙依赖性钾通道,导致钾流出,胱天蛋白酶-1激活和IL-1beta释放。 局部增加钙离子浓度位点IL1beta分泌的扩增加重了类风湿性关节炎。 第二个重要的观察结果是,CaSR和GPRC6A都在类风湿性关节炎患者的滑膜中高度表达,但骨关节炎患者GPRC6A的表达较低,而不是CaSR的表达较低(图1)。 后者通常不伴有炎症。 因此,GPRC6A的表达似乎在慢性炎症状态下上调。 基于这些实验观察,本发明提供了用于鉴定对慢性炎性病症,特别是侵蚀性关节炎和动脉粥样硬化具有潜在作用的药剂的方法和组合物。

    • The present invention refers to a device for measuring impedance in organotypic tissue comprising at least one recording chamber with a liquid permeable membrane supporting the organotypic tissue, at least one bottom electrode and at least one top electrode, wherein the liquid permeable membrane divides the recording chamber into a top chamber and a bottom chamber, wherein at least the bottom chamber contains culture medium for the organotypic tissue, and the bottom electrode(s) is/are located in the bottom chamber and the top electrode(s) is/are located in the top chamber, and wherein the organotypic tissue is located between the bottom electrode(s) and the top electrode(s). The present invention also refers to the use of the device according to the present invention for measuring impedance in organotypic tissue. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for analyzing the effect of test compounds on pathological and non-pathological organotypic tissue by measuring the impedance of the organotypic tissue, wherein the organotypic tissue is cultured in a culture medium during the time of the analysis and the impedance of the organotypic tissue is measured at least once before and at least once after treating the organotypic tissue with the test compound or the impedance of the organotypic tissue treated with the test compound is compared to a non-treated organotypic tissue, wherein the impedance is measured using at least one electrode at each of two opposing sides of the organotypic tissue, and the electrodes are contacted with the culture medium or the tissue during measuring the impedance.
