      Røsland, Gro Vatne; Dyrstad, Sissel Elisabeth; Tusubira, Deusdedit; Helwa, Reham; Tan, Tuan Zea; Lotsberg, Maria Lie; Pettersen, Ina Katrine Nitschke; Berg, Anna; Kindt, Charlotte; Hoel, Fredrik; Jacobsen, Kristine; Arason, Ari Jon; Engelsen, Agnete; Ditzel, Henrik J.; Lønning, Per Eystein; Krakstad, Camilla; Thiery, Jean Paul; Lorens, James; Knappskog, Stian; Tronstad, Karl Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-01)
      Background: Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a well-characterized process of cell plasticity that may involve metabolic rewiring. In cancer, EMT is associated with malignant progression, tumor heterogeneity, ...
    • Inhibiting notch activity in breast cancer stem cells by glucose functionalized nanoparticles carrying γ-secretase inhibitors 

      Mamaeva, Veronika; Niemi, Rasmus; Beck, Michaela; Özliseli, Ezgi; Desai, Diti; Landor, Sebastian; Grönroos, Tove J.; Kronqvist, Pauliina; Pettersen, Ina Katrine Nitschke; McCormack, Emmet; Rosenholm, Jessica M.; Linden, Mika; Sahlgren, Cecilia (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05)
      Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a challenge in cancer treatment due to their therapy resistance. We demonstrated that enhanced Notch signaling in breast cancer promotes self-renewal of CSCs that display high glycolytic activity ...
    • A map of metabolic phenotypes in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome 

      Hoel, Fredrik; Hoel, August; Pettersen, Ina Katrine Nitschke; Rekeland, Ingrid Gurvin; Risa, Kristin; Alme, Kine; Sørland, Kari; Fosså, Alexander; Lien, Katarina; Herder, Ingrid; Thurmer, Hanne; Gotaas, Merethe Otelie Eide; Schäfer, Christoph; Berge, Rolf K.; Sommerfelt, Kristian; Marti, Hans Peter; Dahl, Olav; Mella, Olav; Fluge, Øystein; Tronstad, Karl Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating disease usually presenting after infection. Emerging evidence supports that energy metabolism is affected in ME/CFS, but a unifying metabolic ...
    • Mice depleted for Exchange Proteins Directly Activated by cAMP (Epac) exhibit irregular liver regeneration in response to partial hepatectomy 

      Åsrud, Kathrine Sivertsen; Pedersen, Line; Æsøy, Reidun; Muwonge, Haruna; Aasebø, Elise; Pettersen, Ina Katrine Nitschke; Herfindal, Lars; Dobie, Ross; Jenkins, Stephen; Berge, Rolf Kristian; Henderson, Neil Cowan; Selheim, Frode; Doskeland, Stein Ove; Bakke, Marit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-24)
      The exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP 1 and 2 (Epac1 and Epac2) are expressed in a cell specific manner in the liver, but their biological functions in this tissue are poorly understood. The current study was ...
    • A new live-cell reporter strategy to simultaneously monitor mitochondrial biogenesis and morphology 

      Hodneland, Linn I.; Pettersen, Ina Katrine Nitschke; Nikolaisen, Julie; Micklem, David Robert; Dale, Hege Avsnes; Røsland, Gro Vatne; Lorens, James; Tronstad, Karl Johan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-24)
      Changes in mitochondrial amount and shape are intimately linked to maintenance of cell homeostasis via adaptation of vital functions. Here, we developed a new live-cell reporter strategy to simultaneously monitor mitochondrial ...
    • Regulation and quantification of cellular mitochondrial morphology and content
