    • Cancer-associated fibroblasts in desmoplastic tumors: emerging role of integrins 

      Zeltz, Cedric; Primac, Irina; Murugan Erusappan, Pugazendhi; Alam, Jahedul; Noel, Agnes; Gullberg, Donald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex meshwork of extracellular matrix (ECM) macromolecules filled with a collection of cells including cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), blood vessel associated smooth muscle ...

    • Generation of a novel mouse strain with fibroblast-specific expression of Cre recombinase 

      Alam, Jahedul; Musiime, Moses; Romaine, Andreas; Sawant, Mugdha; Melleby, Arne Olav; Lu, Ning; Eckes, Beate; Christensen, Geir; Gullberg, Donald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Cell-specific expression of genes offers the possibility to use their promoters to drive expression of Cre-recombinase, thereby allowing for detailed expression analysis using reporter gene systems, cell lineage tracing, ...

    • The genetic risk factor CEL-HYB1 causes proteotoxicity and chronic pancreatitis in mice 

      Fjeld, Karianne; Svanbring, Anny Gravdal; Brekke, Ranveig Seim; Alam, Jahedul; Wilhelm, Steven J.; el Jellas, Khadija; Pettersen, Helene Nazmiye; Lin, Jianguo; Solheim, Marie Holm; Steine, Solrun; Johansson, Bente Berg; Njølstad, Pål Rasmus; Verbeke, Caroline Sophie; Xiao, Xunjun; Lowe, Mark E.; Molven, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background & aims: The CEL gene encodes the digestive enzyme carboxyl ester lipase. CEL-HYB1, a hybrid allele of CEL and its adjacent pseudogene CELP, is a genetic variant suggested to increase the risk of chronic pancreatitis ...

    • Integrin α11 cytoplasmic tail is required for FAK activation to initiate 3D cell invasion and ERK-mediated cell proliferation 

      Murugan Erusappan, Pugazendhi; Alam, Jahedul; Lu, Ning; Zeltz, Cedric; Gullberg, Donald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Integrin α11β1 is a collagen-binding integrin, which is receiving increasing attention in the context of wound healing and fibrosis. Although α11β1 integrin displays similar collagen specificity to α2β1 integrin, both ...

    • Novel Insights into Integrin α11 Expression and Function 

      Alam, Jahedul (Doctoral thesis, 2020-01-31)
      Integrins are a major group of cell surface receptors, which link the extracellular matrix with the cell cytoskeleton. They are heterodimeric proteins consisting of non- covalently bound α- and β-subunits. By regulating ...

    • α11β1 integrin is induced in a subset of cancer- associated fibroblasts in desmoplastic tumor stroma and mediates in vitro cell migration 

      Zeltz, Cedric; Alam, Jahedul; Liu, Hengshuo; Erusappan, Pugazendhi M; Hoschuetzky, Heinz; Molven, Anders; Parajuli, Himalaya; Cukierman, Edna; Costea, Daniela Elena; Lu, Ning; Gullberg, Donald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-01)
      Integrin α11β1 is a collagen receptor that has been reported to be overexpressed in the stroma of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In the current study, we further ...
