Targeting des Immunoproteasoms in vivo
Aug 1, 2023Proteasome sind vielversprechende Angriffspunkte für Medikamente bei Krebserkrankungen. Mehrere Proteasom-Inhibitoren werden bereits klinisch zur Behandlung des multiplen Myeloms (MM) eingesetzt. Aktuelle in der Klinik eingesetzte Proteasom-Inhibitor...

Genetic contributors of multiple myeloma cells involved in their homing and escape from T-cell recognition
Jul 1, 2022Finding highly active treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma is an unmet clinical need. The immune-based treatment approaches in this population of patients have shown notable anti-myeloma activity, with deeper and durable r...

The molecular landscape of proteasome inhibitor resistance of multiple myeloma in vivo
Jul 1, 2020We here aim to dissect the molecular landscape of MM that is acquiring resistance to the most active PI, carfilzomib (CFZ) in vivo. We therefore here extend our model to orthotopic growth conditions of MM in murine bone marrow under continuous select...

The „seed and soil“-based pathogenesis of proteasome inhibitor resistance in multiple myeloma
Jan 1, 2019Using the novel method of single-sell RNA sequencing, recently established by the Institute of Immunobiology at MFZ, KSSG, and our experience and knowledge about proteasome inhibitor resistance of myeloma plasma cells in vitro, we shall use the MFZ s...

Identifying and targeting the “Achilles’ heel” in proteasome inhibitor-resistant multiple myeloma
Oct 1, 2018The proposal aims at understanding the biology of proteasome inhibitor (PI)-refractory multiple myeloma (MM), in particular the specific vulnerabilities of PI-refractory MM, or so called “Achilles’ heel”, towards development of novel treatment option...

Preclinical investigation of cardiotoxicity as a clinically important side effect of proteasome inhibitor-based therapy
Jul 1, 2017Carfilzomib is the recently approved second generation proteasome inhibitor for multiple myeloma therapy. Carfilzomib has superior clinical activity than the first generation drug, bortezomib, putatively due to less off-target activity and an altered...
