Matrix metalloproteinase-2 knockout and heterozygote mice are protected from hydronephrosis and kidney fibrosis after unilateral ureteral obstruction
Tveitarås, Maria Kathrine; Skogstrand, Trude; Leh, Sabine Maria; Helle, Frank; Iversen, Bjarne Magnus; Chatziantoniou, Christos; Reed, Rolf K.; Hultström, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12-16)Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (Mmp2) is a collagenase known to be important in the development of renal fibrosis. In unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) the obstructed kidney (OK) develops fibrosis, while the contralateral ... -
Oxygen-dependent regulation of tumor growth and metastasis in human breast cancer xenografts
Sletta, Kristine Yttersian; Tveitarås, Maria Kathrine; Lu, Ning; Svendsen, Agnete; Reed, Rolf K.; Garmann-Johnsen, Annette; Stuhr, Linda Elin Birkhaug (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-23)Background: Tumor hypoxia is relevant for tumor growth, metabolism, resistance to chemotherapy and metastasis. We have previously shown that hyperoxia, using hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT), attenuates tumor growth and ... -
Time course of decompensation after angiotensin II and high-salt diet in Balb/CJ mice suggests pulmonary hypertension-induced cardiorenal syndrome
Becirovic-Agic, Mediha; Jönsson, Sofia; Tveitarås, Maria Kathrine; Skogstrand, Trude; Karlsen, Tine Veronica; Liden, Åsa; Leh, Sabine Maria; Ericsson, Madelene; Nilsson, Stefan K.; Reed, Rolf K.; Hultström, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-01)The genetic background of a mouse strain determines its susceptibility to disease. C57BL/6J and Balb/CJ are two widely used inbred mouse strains that we found react dramatically differently to angiotensin II and high-salt ...
