Abstract

Observations from Majewski et al. showed that Rottlerin has an effect on the classical antigen presentation by BMDC to OT-II cells. Based on these insights, I found out that Rottlerin had also an effect on the cross-presentation by BMDC to OT-I cells. Summing, my in vitro results together with the results of Majewski et al. pointed out at which locations Rottlerin acts during the MHC-I- and MHC-II-associated peptide presentation. Moreover I could answer the questions, which Majewski et al. left open. On the one hand I could reveal that Rottlerin inhibited the upregulation of costimulatory molecules, on the other hand that it has a direct effect on the activation of T cells. In this thesis I could also establish possible in vivo experiments for the future use of Rottlerin and to prove in future experiments whether Rottlerin also inhibits indirectly or directly the activation of CD8+ T cells. According to my findings for CD8+ OT-I cells and the in vitro results of Majewski et al. for the restricted activation of CD4+ T cells it was suggested to review the functionality of diverse in vivo disease models which are dependent on T cells. In the established models of POI, AdGOLinduced liver injury, the NTN and T1D Rottlerin could cause the reduction of the disease parameters in the development of the investigated disorders. The adjustment of the administration time, - species and –frequency could also show effects on other disease models. Recently, with the aid of floxed mice it could be validated whether the described in vivo effects of Rottlerin are only or partly PKCδ-dependent. In future, on the one hand, the basic mechanism from Rottlerin on immune processes, and on the other hand, the effect of Rottlerin on further disease models could be investigated. The Investigations are admittedly not complete, however the potential immunomodulatory effect of Rottlerin could be enhanced to use it as future therapeutic agent.
