Application of in vitro transcribed and translated HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and integrase in protein-protein interaction studies
Wergeland, Line (Master thesis, 2000)Replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) necessitates the two viral enzymes reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase (IN). These two proteins are found to associate in a large nucleoprotein complex called the ... -
Camptothecin and khat (Catha edulis Forsk.) induced distinct cell death phenotypes involving modulation of c-FLIPL, Mcl-1, procaspase-8 and mitochondrial function in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines
Bredholt, Therese; Dimba, Elizabeth A. O.; Hagland, Hanne; Wergeland, Line; Skavland, Jørn; Fossan, Kjell Ove; Tronstad, Karl Johan; Johannessen, Anne Christine; Vintermyr, Olav Karsten; Gjertsen, Bjørn Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-11-13)Background: An organic extract of the recreational herb khat (Catha edulis Forsk.) triggers cell death in various leukemia cell lines in vitro. The chemotherapeutics camptothecin, a plant alkaloid topoisomerase I inhibitor, ... -
Flt3 receptor tyrosine kinase in AML and its modulation of the p53/Hdm2/Bcl-2 pathway
Wergeland, Line (Doctoral thesis, 2007-09-06)Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive disease with a poor overall survival rate. The most frequent mutations associated with AML are internal tandem duplications (ITD) in the juxtamembrane region of the receptor ... -
FLT3-ITD mutations in acute myeloid leukaemia – molecular characteristics, distribution and numerical variation
Engen, Caroline; Hellesøy, Monica; Grob, Tim; Al Hinai, Adil; Brendehaug, Atle; Wergeland, Line; Bedringaas, Siv Lise; Hovland, Randi; Valk, Peter J. M.; Gjertsen, Bjørn T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Recurrent somatic internal tandem duplications (ITD) in the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene characterise approximately one third of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), and FLT3-ITD mutation status guides ... -
Pre-apoptotic response to therapeutic DNA damage involves protein modulation of Mcl-1, Hdm2 and Flt3 in acute myeloid leukemia cells
Wergeland, Line; Sjøholt, Gry; Haaland, Ingvild; Hovland, Randi; Bruserud, Øystein; Gjertsen, Bjørn Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007)Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells are characterized by non-mutated TP53, high levels of Hdm2, and frequent mutation of the Flt3 receptor tyrosine kinase. The juxtamembrane mutation of FLT3 is the strongest ...
