Mission of COST The COST program (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is one of the oldest funding instruments of the EU with the following aims: Strengthen the collaboration among European scientists Support early stage researchers Improve European economics & health of European population 2
Facts of COST Action BM1203 Foundation in Dec 2012 (kick-off Meeting Brussels), first budget in April 2013 Chair of the Action: Prof. Andreas Daiber, University Medical Center Mainz, Germany Vice Chair of the Action: Prof. Fabio di Lisa, Università di Padova, Italy Founding Chair of the Action: Prof. Harald Schmidt, University of Maastricht, The Netherlands 34 participating countries, 2 NNC 101 MC members/substitutes and > 150 WG members (w/o ESR, STSM candidates, invited experts) 3
Scientific scope Major Scientific Aims Unravel the paradox of diverging efficacy of antioxidants in clinical therapy (chronic / systemic versus acute / local applications) Discriminate ROS sources and signalling in physiological pathways from disease-relevant processes Overcome conservative dogma in oxidative stress and redox biology research and provide the room for new hypotheses and verify these concepts by state-of-the-art drugs, tools and imaging techniques Develop new drugs with antioxidant properties (direct or indirect) for the treatment of oxidative stress-associated disease Establish databases for drugs & tools as well as oxidative stress- related biomarkers to advance the European research in this field and to provide the basis for new therapeutics and large clinical trials Establish long-lasting collaborations and support successful applications for funding by EU-ROS consortia 4
Scientific scope Scientific Working Groups Update on major achievements during WG sessions Working Group 1 – Sources of ROS (Prof. Ulla Knaus) Working Group 2 – Molecular Mechanisms (Prof. Agnes Görlach) Working Group 3 – Drugs & Tools (Dr. Tamara Seredenina) Working Group 4 – Biomarkers (Prof. Pietro Ghezzi) Working Group 5 – Imaging (Dr. Yves Frappart) Working Group 6 – Technology Transfer & Funding (Dr. Vincent Jaquet) Within WG1&2 different consortia working on cardiovascular & neurodegenerative disease, cancer, fibrosis and inflammation 5
Scientific scope ROS sources ROS Beneficial redox signaling Detrimental in disease A, B, C targets Should be preserved by redox Should be specifically inhibited drugs in disease A, B, C Possible strategies: Repair of damaged proteins (e.g. sGC, eNOS), source specific inhibitors (Nox, XO inhibitors), activators of endogenous antioxidant systems (Nrf2 activators), inhibition of toxifiers (MPO), direct RONS scavengers only cell- or organelle-specific, maybe also species-specific Requires advanced imaging techniques to verify successful inhibition and specific biomarkers to verify successful therapy of disease phenotype y y y 6 Casas et al. or Schmidt et al., Antioxid.
