MicroRNA-138 abates fibroblast motility with effect on invasion of adjacent cancer cells
Rajthala, Saroj; Parajuli, Himalaya; Dongre, Harsh Nitin; Ljøkjel, Borghild; Hoven, Kristin Marie; Kvalheim, Arild; Lybak, Stein; Neppelberg, Evelyn; Sapkota, Dipak; Johannessen, Anne Christine; Costea, Daniela Elena (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-17)Background: Recent studies have shown aberrant expression of micro-RNAs in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). This study aimed to investigate miR-138 dysregulation in CAFs in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its ... -
Primary intraosseous carcinoma arising in a dentigerous cyst: A case report
Tousi, Farnoush; Johannessen, Anne Christine; Ljøkjel, Borghild; Løes, Sigbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Dentigerous cysts are among the most common cysts of the jaw. They are attached to the crown of an unerupted tooth, most frequently third molars and maxillary canines. They are often asymptomatic and may therefore be ... -
Profiling and functional analysis of microRNA deregulation in cancer-associated fibroblasts in oral squamous cell carcinoma depicts an anti-invasive role of microRNA-204 via regulation of their motility
Rajthala, Saroj; Min, Anjie; Parajuli, Himalaya; Debnath, Kala Chand; Ljøkjel, Borghild; Hoven, Kristin Marie; Kvalheim, Arild; Lybak, Stein; Neppelberg, Evelyn; Vintermyr, Olav Karsten; Johannessen, Anne Christine; Sapkota, Dipak; Costea, Daniela Elena (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-04)Background: Knowledge on the role of miR changes in tumor stroma for cancer progression is limited. This study aimed to investigate the role of miR dysregulation in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in oral squamous ... -
Tumor HPV status, level of regulatory T cells and macrophage infiltration predict up to 20-year non-disease-specific survival in oropharynx squamous cell carcinoma patients
Haave, Hilde; Ljøkjel, Borghild; Lybak, Helene; Moe, Svein Erik Emblem; Berge, Jan Erik; Vintermyr, Olav Karsten; Helgeland, Lars; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Oropharynx squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is of special interest because human papilloma virus (HPV) and/or smoking cause this disease. Influxes of inflammatory cells into such tumors are known to vary with prognoses. ... -
Tumor infiltration levels of CD3, Foxp3 (+) lymphocytes and CD68 macrophages at diagnosis predict 5-year disease-specific survival in patients with oropharynx squamous cell carcinoma
Ljøkjel, Borghild; Haave, Hilde; Lybak, Stein; Vintermyr, Olav Karsten; Helgeland, Lars; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. Oropharyngeal (OP) cancers are of special interest because of possible underlying HPV infection which is tied to prognosis. Influxes of inflammatory ...
