    • A co-culture model with brain tumor-specific bioluminescence demonstrates astrocyte-induced drug resistance in glioblastoma 

      Yang, Ning; Yan, Tao; Zhu, Huaiyang; Liang, Xiao; Leiss, Lina; Sakariassen, Per Øystein; Skaftnesmo, Kai Ove; Huang, Bin; Costea, Daniela Elena; Enger, Per Øyvind; Li, Xingang; Wang, Jian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-04)
      Background: Although several studies suggest that stromal fibroblasts mediate treatment resistance in several cancer types, little is known about how tumor-associated astrocytes modulate the treatment response in brain ...

    • In vitro treatment of melanoma brain metastasis by simultaneously targeting the MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways 

      Daphu, Inderjit Kaur; Horn, Sindre August; Stieber, Daniel; Varughese, Jobin K.; Spriet, Endy; Dale, Hege Avsnes; Skaftnesmo, Kai Ove; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Thorsen, Frits Alan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-16)
      Malignant melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer, with a high propensity to metastasize to the brain. More than 60% of melanomas have the BRAFV600E mutation, which activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase ...

    • Inhibition of mitochondrial respiration prevents BRAF-mutant melanoma brain metastasis 

      Sundstrøm, Terje; Prestegarden, Lars; Azuaje, Francisco; Aasen, Synnøve Nymark; Røsland, Gro Vatne; Varughese, Jobin K.; Bahador, Marzieh; Bernatz, Simon; Braun, Yannick; Harter, Patrick N.; Skaftnesmo, Kai Ove; Ingham, Elizabeth S.; Mahakian, Lisa M.; Tam, Sarah; Tepper, Clifford G.; Petersen, Kjell; Ferrara, Katherine W.; Tronstad, Karl Johan; Lund-Johansen, Morten; Beschorner, Rudi; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Thorsen, Frits (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-10)
      Melanoma patients carry a high risk of developing brain metastases, and improvements in survival are still measured in weeks or months. Durable disease control within the brain is impeded by poor drug penetration across ...

    • MicroRNA Regulation of the Synaptic Plasticity-Related Gene Arc 

      Wibrand, Karin; Pai, Balagopal; Siripornmongcolchai, Taweeporn; Bittins, Margarethe; Berentsen, Birgitte; Ofte, May Lillian; Weigel, Arwed; Skaftnesmo, Kai Ove; Bramham, Clive R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-07-26)
      Expression of activity-regulated cytoskeleton associated protein (Arc) is crucial for diverse types of experience-dependent synaptic plasticity and long-term memory in mammals. However, the mechanisms governing Arc-specific ...

    • Neuronal markers are expressed in human gliomas and NSE knockdown sensitizes glioblastoma cells to radiotherapy and temozolomide 

      Yan, Tao; Skaftnesmo, Kai Ove; Leiss, Lina; Sleire, Linda; Wang, Jian; Li, Xingang; Enger, Per Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-12-20)
      Background: Expression of neuronal elements has been identified in various glial tumors, and glioblastomas (GBMs) with neuronal differentiation patterns have reportedly been associated with longer survival. However, the ...

    • A novel nanoprobe for multimodal imaging is effectively incorporated into human melanoma metastatic cell lines 

      Aasen, Synnøve Nymark; Pospíšilová, Aneta; Eichler, Tilo Wolf; Pánek, Jiří; Hrubý, Martin; Štěpánek, Petr; Spriet, Endy; Jirák, Daniel; Skaftnesmo, Kai Ove; Thorsen, Frits (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-08)
      To facilitate efficient drug delivery to tumor tissue, several nanomaterials have been designed, with combined diagnostic and therapeutic properties. In this work, we carried out fundamental in vitro and in vivo experiments ...

    • Targeting glioblastoma with NK cells and mAb against NG2/CSPG4 prolongs animal survival 

      Poli, Aurélie; Wang, Jian; Domingues, Olivia; Planagumà, Jesús; Yan, Tao; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Skaftnesmo, Kai Ove; Thorsen, Frits Alan; McCormack, Emmet; Hentges, François; Pedersen, Paal-Henning; Zimmer, Jacques; Enger, Per Øyvind; Chekenya, Martha (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-09-09)
      Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant brain tumor where patients’ survival is only 14.6 months, despite multimodal therapy with debulking surgery, concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. There is an urgent, unmet need ...

    • Targeting the NG2/CSPG4 Proteoglycan Retards Tumour Growth and Angiogenesis in Preclinical Models of GBM and Melanoma 

      Wang, Jian; Svendsen, Agnete; Kmiecik, Justyna; Immervoll, Heike; Skaftnesmo, Kai Ove; Planagumà, Jesús; Reed, Rolf K.; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Miletic, Hrvoje; Enger, Per Øyvind; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Chekenya, Martha (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-07-29)
      Aberrant expression of the progenitor marker Neuron-glia 2 (NG2/CSPG4) or melanoma proteoglycan on cancer cells and angiogenic vasculature is associated with an aggressive disease course in several malignancies including ...
