Bioactive peptides from microalgae: Focus on anti-cancer and immunomodulating activity
Skjånes, Kari; Æsøy, Reidun; Herfindal, Lars; Skomedal, Hanne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In addition to the rapidly expanding field of using microalgae for food and feed, microalgae represent a tremendous potential for new bioactive compounds with health-promoting effects. One field where new therapeutics is ... -
Long-term consumption of an obesogenic high fat diet prior to ischemia-reperfusion mediates cardioprotection via Epac1-dependent signaling
Edland, Fridtjov; Wergeland, Anita; Kopperud, Reidun Kristin; Åsrud, Kathrine Sivertsen; Hoivik, Erling A; Witsø, Solveig Lund; Æsøy, Reidun; Madsen, L; Kristiansen, K.; Bakke, Marit; Doskeland, Stein Ove; Jonassen, Anne K (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-11-28)Background: Obesity is still considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, although more recent knowledge also suggests obesity to be associated with reduced morbidity and mortality - the “obesity paradox”. This ... -
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 ... -
New CDK8 inhibitors as potential anti-leukemic agents – Design, synthesis and biological evaluation
Solum, Eirik Johansson; Hansen, Trond Vidar; Æsøy, Reidun; Herfindal, Lars (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) plays a vital role in regulating cell transcription either through its association with the mediator complex or by the phosphorylation of transcription factors. CDK8-mediated activation of ... -
Regulation of CDKN2B expression by interaction of Arnt with Miz-1 - a basis for functional integration between the HIF and Myc gene regulatory pathways
Æsøy, Reidun; Gradin, Katarina; Åsrud, Kathrine Sivertsen; Høivik, Erling Andre; Ruas, Jorge L.; Poellinger, Lorenz; Bakke, Marit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-03-11)Background: Hypoxia- and Myc-dependent transcriptional regulatory pathways are frequently deregulated in cancer cells. These pathways converge in many cellular responses, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. ...
