  1. ESR-11: Resetting Immunological Memory 2nd EUtrain kick-off meeting 22.09.2013 – 23.09.2013 Patrick Maschmeyer Andreas Radbruch Laboratory DRFZ Berlin http://eutrain-network.eu/esr/esr11/

  2. Background and Education

  3. Analysis of gene expression in pathogenic T H cells from IMID patients SSC-A FSC-A FASC sort: CD3 + CD4 + CD14 - CD45Ro + CD3 Transcriptome CD4 Caveat: lack of patient material!

  4. Alternative approach for identifying genes to target pathogenic memory T helper cells Instruction Repeated Chronically Naïve Activated in vitro Stimulation Activated T H cell T H 1 cell T H 1 cell

  5. Aims of the EUtrain ESR11 project 1st year: Identification of genes expressed specifically in pathogenic T helper cells from patients • with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) – Additional access to synovial fluid/tissues through EUtrain partner ESR2 (UMCU) 2nd year: Analysis for the relevance and function of identified genes in driving chronic • inflammation – Development of appropriate read outs in mouse models (e.g., in vivo imaging together with EUtrain partner WWU) – Application of techniques in molecular biology and proteomics to characterize identified candidates in driving inflammation (e.g., with EUtrain partners ESR6 WWU/UKM and UMCU) Long term goal: A treatment for patients with IMIDs by selectively depleting pathogenic, chronically • activated T helper cells
