Surgical resection of glioblastomas induces pleiotrophin-mediated self-renewal of glioblastoma stem cells in recurrent tumors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Glioblastomas are highly resistant to therapy, and virtually all patients experience tumor recurrence after standard-of-care treatment. Surgical tumor resection is a cornerstone in glioblastoma therapy, but its ... -
Survival in a consecutive series of 467 glioblastoma patients: Association with prognostic factors and treatment at recurrence at two independent institutions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-02)Therapy of recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) is challenging due to lack of standard treatment. We investigated physicians’ treatment choice at recurrence and prognostic and predictive factors for survival in GBM patients from ... -
Survival signalling and apoptosis resistance in glioblastomas: opportunities for targeted therapeutics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-06-01)Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumour in adults and one of the most aggressive cancers in man. Despite technological advances in surgical management, combined regimens of radiotherapy with ... -
Synthetic corticosteroids as tryptophan hydroxylase stabilizers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Clinically, corticosteroids are used mainly for their immune-modulatory properties but are also known to influence mood. Despite evidence of a role in regulating tryptophan hydroxylases (TPH), key enzymes in ... -
Targeting APLN/APLNR improves antiangiogenic efficiency and blunts proinvasive side effects of VEGFA/VEGFR2 blockade in glioblastoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Antiangiogenic therapy of glioblastoma (GBM) with bevacizumab, a VEGFA-blocking antibody, may accelerate tumor cell invasion and induce alternative angiogenic pathways. Here we investigate the roles of the proangiogenic ... -
Targeting glioblastoma with NK cells and mAb against NG2/CSPG4 prolongs animal survival
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-09-09)Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant brain tumor where patients’ survival is only 14.6 months, despite multimodal therapy with debulking surgery, concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. There is an urgent, unmet need ... -
Targeting NAD+ in translational research to relieve diseases and conditions of metabolic stress and ageing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) plays a fundamental role in life and health through the regulation of energy biogenesis, redox homeostasis, cell metabolism, and the arbitration of cell survival via linkages to ... -
Targeting the AKT Pathway in Glioblastoma Multiforme
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)In this study, the therapeutic efficacy of AKT allosteric and ATP competitive inhibitors was investigated in EGFR-amplified SKMG-3 and EGFR-low U-87 cell lines. The IC50 values of AKT inhibitors were determined by cellular ... -
Targeting the anti-inflammatory interplay promoting glioblastoma progression with combined natural killer cells and mab9.2.27 against NG2/CSPG4. A novel strategy to reveal glioblastoma to the immune system
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-06-19)Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent and aggressive brain tumor in adults. The patients’ median survival is only 14.6 months despite multimodal treatment, including surgery and concomitant radiation and chemotherapy. ... -
Targeting the Class A Carbapenemase GES-5 via Virtual Screening
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The worldwide spread of β-lactamases able to hydrolyze last resort carbapenems contributes to the antibiotic resistance problem and menaces the successful antimicrobial treatment of clinically relevant pathogens. Class A ... -
Targeting the NG2/CSPG4 Proteoglycan Retards Tumour Growth and Angiogenesis in Preclinical Models of GBM and Melanoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-07-29)Aberrant expression of the progenitor marker Neuron-glia 2 (NG2/CSPG4) or melanoma proteoglycan on cancer cells and angiogenic vasculature is associated with an aggressive disease course in several malignancies including ... -
Targeting the splicing factor NONO inhibits GBM progression through GPX1 intron retention
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Splicing factors are essential for nascent pre-mRNA processing and critical in cancer progression, suggesting that proteins with splicing functions represent potential molecular targets for cancer therapy. Here, ... -
Task-based functional connectivity reveals aberrance with the salience network during emotional interference in late-life depression
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objectives Late-life depression (LLD) is a common and debilitating disorder. Previously, resting-state studies have revealed abnormal functional connectivity (FC) of brain networks in LLD. Since LLD is associated with ... -
Temozolomide-induced rna interactome uncovers novel lncrna regulatory loops in glioblastoma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-10)Resistance to chemotherapy by temozolomide (TMZ) is a major cause of glioblastoma (GBM) recurrence. So far, attempts to characterize factors that contribute to TMZ sensitivity have largely focused on protein-coding genes, ... -
Temporal variations in the nutrient content of Norwegian farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), 2005–2020
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The changes in the feed of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) towards a more plant-based diet affect the nutritional value of the fillets. By compiling the contents of a range of nutrients in 1108 samples of Norwegian ... -
The CEL VNTR in pancreatic disease: Effects of cysteine residues in pathogenic carboxyl ester lipase variants
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) is a digestive enzyme mainly expressed in the acinar cells of the pancreas. CEL hydrolyses dietary fat, cholesteryl esters and fat-soluble vitamins. The protein is structurally divided into two ... -
The pancreas remembers: epigenetic memory of obesity as subtle, coordinated changes in promoter accessibility
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Background: Epigenetic memory involves heritable gene expression changes without DNA sequence alterations, impacting cellular functions long after the initial triggers have ceased. The impact of obesity on pancreatic ... -
