• Heat shock factor 1 (Hsf1) cooperates with estrogen receptor α (erα) in the regulation of estrogen action in breast cancer cells 

      Vydra, Natalia; Janus, Patryk; Kuś, Paweł; Stokowy, Tomasz; Mrowiec, Katarzyna; Toma-Jonik, Agnieszka; Krzywon, Aleksandra; Cortez, Alexander Jorge; Wojtaś, Bartosz; Gielniewski, Bartłomiej; Jaksik, Roman; Kimmel, Marek; Widłak, Wiesława (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), a key regulator of transcriptional responses to proteotoxic stress, was linked to estrogen (E2) signaling through estrogen receptor α (ERα). We found that an HSF1 deficiency may decrease ERα ...
    • HSF1 Can Prevent Inflammation following Heat Shock by Inhibiting the Excessive Activation of the ATF3 and JUN&FOS Genes 

      Janus, Patryk; Kuś, Paweł; Vydra, Natalia; Toma-Jonik, Agnieszka; Stokowy, Tomasz; Mrowiec, Katarzyna; Wojtaś, Bartosz; Gielniewski, Bartłomiej; Widłak, Wiesława (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1), a transcription factor frequently overexpressed in cancer, is activated by proteotoxic agents and participates in the regulation of cellular stress response. To investigate how HSF1 level affects ...
    • The role of NF-κB transcription factor in cellular response to ionizing radiation 

      Janus, Patryk; Szoltysek, Katarzyna; Zajac, Gracjana; Widlak, Wieslawa; Stokowy, Tomasz; Wojtas, Bartosz; Widlak, Piotr (Journal article, 2019)
      The NF-κB transcription factor is involved in different aspects of the cellular response to stress, including atypical NF-κB pathway activated by damage induced by ionizing radiation. Moreover, NF-κB could be involved in ...
