Remote postconditioning by humoral factors in effluent from ischemic preconditioned rat hearts is mediated via PI3K/Akt-dependent cell-survival signaling at reperfusion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-12-29)Short non-lethal ischemic episodes administered to hearts prior to (ischemic preconditioning, IPC) or directly after (ischemic postconditioning, IPost) ischemic events facilitate myocardial protection. Transferring coronary ... -
Replication protein A prevents accumulation of single-stranded telomeric DNA in cells that use alternative lengthening of telomeres
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-10-24)The activation of a telomere maintenance mechanism is required for cancer development in humans. While most tumors achieve this by expressing the enzyme telomerase, a fraction (5–15%) employs a recombination-based mechanism ... -
A reproducible brain tumour model established from human glioblastoma biopsies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-12-29)Background: Establishing clinically relevant animal models of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains a challenge, and many commonly used cell line-based models do not recapitulate the invasive growth patterns of patient ... -
Resibufogenin Targets the ATP1A1 Signaling Cascade to Induce G2/M Phase Arrest and Inhibit Invasion in Glioma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Resibufogenin (RB) is a major active ingredient in the traditional Chinese medicine Chansu and has garnered considerable attention for its efficacy in the treatment of cancer. However, the anticancer effects and underlying ... -
Revealing and Harnessing Tumour-Associated Microglia/Macrophage Heterogeneity in Glioblastoma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Cancer heterogeneity and progression are subject to complex interactions between neoplastic cells and their microenvironment, including the immune system. Although glioblastomas (GBMs) are classified as ‘cold tumours’ with ... -
Riboswitches as Drug Targets for Antibiotics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Riboswitches reside in the untranslated region of RNA and regulate genes involved in the biosynthesis of essential metabolites through binding of small molecules. Since their discovery at the beginning of this century, ... -
Right ventricular postsystolic shortening: Resolution after opening a totally occluded right coronary artery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Acute myocardial ischemia induces reduced systolic shortening and causes postsystolic shortening (PSS). Right ventricular (RV) PSS in coronary artery disease has been less studied. We present here the case of a 51-year-old ... -
Risk factors of suicidal spectrum behaviors in adults and adolescents with attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder – a systematic review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-21)Introduction: Adolescents and adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at increased risk of suicidal spectrum behaviors (SSBs). However, there is limited knowledge about risk factors triggering SSBs ... -
RNA sequencing and proteomic profiling reveal different alterations by dietary methylmercury in the hippocampal transcriptome and proteome in BALB/c mice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Methylmercury (MeHg) is a highly neurotoxic form of mercury (Hg) present in seafood. Here, we recorded and compared proteomic and transcriptomic changes in hippocampus of male BALB/c mice exposed to two doses of MeHg. Mice ... -
RNA splicing factor USP39 promotes glioma progression by inducing TAZ mRNA maturation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Increasing evidence demonstrates that ubiquitin specific protease 39 (USP39) plays an oncogenic role in various human tumors. Here, using expression analysis of the publicly available Oncomine database, clinical glioma ... -
The RNA-Binding Protein hnRNP K Mediates the Effect of BDNF on Dendritic mRNA Metabolism and Regulates Synaptic NMDA Receptors in Hippocampal Neurons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11)Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important mediator of long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus. The local effects of BDNF depend on the activation of translation activity, which requires the ... -
The Role of Age in Cellular Responses to Microenvironmental Cues as a Breast Cancer Susceptibility Factor
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-05-09)Aging is the critical risk factor for many forms of cancer. We used the mammary gland as a model system to study the impact of age on human epithelia in which age is the greatest risk factor for cancer. Dysfunctional ... -
The role of autoantibodies in cell mediated autoimmune Addison`s disease
(Master thesis, 2012-05-31)Background: Addison`s disease (primary adrenal insufficiency) is a prototypic organ-specific autoimmune disease affecting the adrenal cortex. Autoimmune Addison`s disease (AAD) is often characterized by autoantibodies ... -
