Aberrant signaling of immune cells in Sjögren's syndrome patient subgroups upon interferon stimulation
Sarkar, Irene; Davies, Richard Allan; Aarebrot, Anders Krogh; Solberg, Silje Michelsen; Petrovic, Aleksandra; Joshi, Anagha; Bergum, Brith; Brun, Johan Gorgas; Hammenfors, Daniel; Jonsson, Roland; Appel, Silke (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease, characterized by mononuclear cell infiltrates in the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to glandular atrophy and dryness. Patient heterogeneity ... -
Carbamylation of immunoglobulin abrogates activation of the classical complement pathway
Koro, Catalin; Bielecka, Ewa; Dahl-Knudsen, Anders; Enghild, Jan J; Scavenius, Carsten; Brun, Johan G; Binder, Veronika; Hellvard, Annelie; Bergum, Brith; Jonsson, Roland; Potempa, Jan; Blom, Anna M.; Mydel, Piotr Mateusz (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11)Post-translational modifications of proteins significantly affect their structure and function. The carbamylation of positively charged lysine residues to form neutral homoitrulline occurs primarily under inflammatory ... -
Genome-wide analysis of the sox family in the calcareous sponge Sycon ciliatum: multiple genes with unique expression patterns
Fortunato, Sofia; Adamski, Marcin; Bergum, Brith; Guder, Corina; Jordal, Signe; Rapp, Hans Tore; Leininger, Sven; Zwafink, Christin; Adamska, Maja (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-06-23)Background: Sox genes are HMG-domain containing transcription factors with important roles in developmental processes in animals; many of them appear to have conserved functions among eumetazoans. Demosponges have fewer ... -
Impaired activation of STAT5 upon IL-2 stimulation in Tregs and elevated sIL-2R in Sjögren’s syndrome
Keindl, Magdalena; Davies, Richard Allan; Bergum, Brith; Brun, Johan Gorgas; Hammenfors, Daniel; Jonsson, Roland; Lyssenko, Valeriya; Appel, Silke (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and the high-affinity IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) are essential for the survival of regulatory T cells (Tregs) which are the main players in immune tolerance and prevention of autoimmune diseases. ... -
Increased Plasma Soluble Interleukin-2 Receptor Alpha Levels in Patients With Long-Term Type 1 Diabetes With Vascular Complications Associated With IL2RA and PTPN2 Gene Polymorphisms
Keindl, Magdalena; Fedotkina, Olena; du Plessis, Elsa; Jain, Ruchi; Bergum, Brith; Mygind Jensen, Troels; Laustrup Møller, Cathrine; Falhammar, Henrik; Nyström, Thomas; Catrina, Sergiu-Bogdan; Jörneskog, Gun; Groop, Leif; Eliasson, Mats; Eliasson, Björn; Brismar, Kerstin; Nilsson, Peter M.; Berg, Tore Julsrud; Appel, Silke; Lyssenko, Valeriya (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is largely considered an autoimmune disease leading to the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic β cells. Further, patients with T1D have 3–4-fold increased risk of developing micro- and ... -
Single cell based phosphorylation profiling identifies alterations in toll-like receptor 7 and 9 signaling in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome
Davies, Richard Allan; Sarkar, Irene; Hammenfors, Daniel; Bergum, Brith; Vogelsang, Petra; Solberg, Silje Michelsen; Gavasso, Sonia; Brun, Johan G; Jonsson, Roland; Appel, Silke (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-21)Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is associated with polymorphisms and mRNA expression profiles that are indicative of an exaggerated innate and type I IFN immune response. Excessive activation potential of signaling pathways ...
