EMC MM-01-39-01 - Clinical and expiremental neuroendocrinology Programme design in brief A. Studies on the regulation of hormone secretion by the normal pituitary gland as well as by human pituitary tumours in vivo and in vitro. B. An integrative approach to the endocrinology of ageing. Hormonal factors related to the ageing process are investigated in population studies. Intervention studies with hormones (growth hormone, dehydroepiandrosterone) are carried out. C. An integrative approach to factors determining glucocorticoid sensitivity in man. Molecular studies of mutations in the glucocorticoid receptor and in the translational regulation of glucocorticoid action are carried out in cells obtained from patients with glucocorticoid resistance and from patients with transient changes in glucocorticoid sensitivity. D. Studies on the expression of peptide receptors in cancer, and in immune cells. The regulation of the growth and activity of immunological and of tumour cells in vitro by manipulation of the expression of peptide receptors is studied in relation with the potential endocrine manipulation of immune diseases and cancer growth in vivo. E. An integrative approach of clinical and surgical endocrinology is used in studies aimed at improving patient care. F. Evaluation of the (metabolic) role of natural and synthetic growth hormone secretatogues in peripheral tissues in vitro and in vivo.

EMC MM-01-39-02 - Regulation of calcium and bone metabolism Programme design in brief Research focus is skeletal and calcium homeostasis and development and progression of related disorders with particular emphasis on ageing. Increasing life span is accompanied by an increase in age-related diseases such as osteoporosis. osteoporosis is an important common disease with a large impact on quality of life as well as health care budget. Development of pharmaceutical and life style interventions as prevention or as treatment is important and requires an optimal knowledge in aetiology and mechanisms of development of osteoporosis. Current therapies for osteoporosis are directed to inhibit bone loss and thereby its progression. There is, however, a major need for anabolic therapies which stimulate bone formation because bone loss has already occurred when the consequences of osteoporosis have become overt. Directly coupled to this improvement in early diagnostics. The overall aim of this research line is to develop better diagnostics and therapies for skeletal disorders and disturbances in calcium homeostatis by a combination of molecular, cellular, animal, epidemiological and eventually clinical studies. Four integrated lines of research can be identified 1) Characterisation of molecular mechanisms of bone cell differentation and bone formation and degradation uging human bone cell models by bioinformatic and systems biological analyses of gene, protein and enzyme activity profiles 2) Identification of risk determinants for osteoporosis and osteoarthritis on basis of genetic epidemiological and serum proteomic studies within a.o. the Rotterdam Study 3) Calcium homeostasis and skeletal metabolism in relation to ageing by analyses of experimental animal models, e.g. premature ageing mice, as well as human population research. 4) Development of medium/high throughtput screenings procedures to quickly screen therapeutic targets and to evaluate novel therapeutic compounds Key figures Department SP1 SP2 SP3 SP4 SPtot T1 T2 T3 Ttot IS FS OP Ptot epidemiology & biostatics 0,05 0 0 0 0,05 internal medicine 3,6 4,4 0 0,25 8,25 Total 3,65 4,4 0 0,25 8,30 2 0 0 2 39 1 2 44 Theses Fang, Y.

EMC MM-01-39-03 Regulation of bioactivity of thyroid hormone Programme design in brief The prohormone T4 is converted by outer ring deiodination to the active hormone T3 and by inner ring deiodination to the inactive metabolite rt3. The three deiodinases (D1-3) involved are expressed in different tissues, where they play different roles in systemic and local control of T3 levels. The deiodinases are located in cell membranes with their active site exposed to the cytoplasm, while the T3 receptors reside in the nucleus. Uptake of thyroid hormone across the plasma membrane is thus required for thyroid hormone action and metabolism, and is mediated by specific transporters. Recently, our group identified an important T3 transporter (MCT8) which was shown to be mutated in patients with severe psychomotor retardation and grossly elevated serum T3 levels. This project concerns the characterization of the deiodinases and transporters in human tissues as well as their importance in the regulation of the bioactivity of thyroid hormone in health and disease Key figures Department SP1 SP2 SP3 SP4 SPtot T1 T2 T3 Ttot IS FS OP Ptot internal medicine 0,83 4,5 0 0 5,33 nuclear medicine 0,2 0 0 0 0,2 Total 1,03 4,5 0 0 5,53 2 0 0 2 27 3 1 33 Theses Peeters, R.P.

EMC MM-01-39-04 - Signalling in reproduction and ageing Programme design in brief Glycoprotein hormones and members of the TGFß/activin family of growth and differentiation factors play a central role in development and functioning of the organism throughout life. This program focuses on the effect of variations in signal transduction of glycoprotein hormones (including LH, hcg, FSH and TSH) and TGFb family members (including anti-mullerian hormone, BMPs, inhibins and activins) during foetal and postnatal development and subsequent ageing of the organism. Furthermore, effects of mutations or single nucleotide polymorphisms in enzymes involved in biosynthesis or catabolism of steroid hormones are investigated. Variations in signalling through these pathways affect the early make-up of physiological response systems that can have effects during adult life and in the ageing process. Signal transduction variations of ligand-receptor interaction, signal transduction, gene expression, proliferation and apoptosis are studied not only at the molecular and cellular level, bbut also at the level of the whole body in animal models of ageing and in populations of ageing men and women. Specific areas are: 1. The role of TGFß family members in female ageing, oestrogen effects and age at menopause 2. The role of LH and LH receptor variations in female ageing 3. The influence of polymorphic gene variants in female and male physiology 4. Development of animal models for the study of the role of genetic variations in the pathophysiology of ageing. 5. Causes and effects of changes in steroid biosynthetic pathways 6.
