Journal ArticleDOI
Angiopoietin-2 sensitizes endothelial cells to TNF-alpha and has a crucial role in the induction of inflammation.
Ulrike Fiedler,Yvonne Reiss,Marion Scharpfenecker,Verena Grunow,Stefanie Koidl,Gavin Thurston,Nicholas W. Gale,Martin Witzenrath,Simone Rosseau,Norbert Suttorp,Astrid Sobke,Matthias Herrmann,Klaus T. Preissner,Peter Vajkoczy,Hellmut G. Augustin +14 more
TL;DR: It is shown that mice deficient in Ang-2 (encoded by the gene Angpt2) cannot elicit an inflammatory response in thioglycollate-induced or Staphylococcus aureus–induced peritonitis, or in the dorsal skinfold chamber model.
Journal ArticleDOI
The extracellular adherence protein (Eap) of Staphylococcus aureus inhibits wound healing by interfering with host defense and repair mechanisms
Athanasios N. Athanasopoulos,Matina Economopoulou,Valeria V. Orlova,Astrid Sobke,Darius Schneider,Holger Weber,Hellmut G. Augustin,Sabine A. Eming,Uwe Schubert,Thomas Linn,Peter P. Nawroth,Muzaffar Hussain,Hans-Peter Hammes,Mathias Herrmann,Klaus T. Preissner,Triantafyllos Chavakis +15 more
TL;DR: The potent anti-inflammatory and antiangiogenic properties of Eap provide an underlying mechanism that may explain the impaired wound healing in S aureus-infected wounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The extracellular adherence protein from Staphylococcus aureus abrogates angiogenic responses of endothelial cells by blocking Ras activation.
Astrid Sobke,Dennis Selimovic,Valeria V. Orlova,Mohamed Hassan,Triantafyllos Chavakis,Athanasios N. Athanasopoulos,Uwe Schubert,Muzaffar Hussain,Gerald Thiel,Klaus T. Preissner,Mathias Herrmann +10 more
TL;DR: Eap's combined anti‐inflammmatory and antiangiogenic properties render this bacterial protein not only an important virulence factor during S. aureus infection but open new perspectives for therapeutic applications in pathological neovascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of fibronectin on the adherence of Staphylococcus epidermidis to coated and uncoated intraocular lenses.
Andreas C. Schroeder,Josef M. Schmidbauer,Astrid Sobke,Berthold Seitz,Klaus W. Ruprecht,Mathias Herrmann +5 more
TL;DR: There was significant variability in S epidermidis adhesion to IOLs as a function of design, material, surface modification, and FN preadsorption.
