Cabozantinib is effective in melanoma brain metastasis cell lines and affects key signaling pathways
Mannsåker, Trond Are; Hoang, Tuyen; Aasen, Synnøve Nymark; Bjørnstad, Ole Vidhammer; Parajuli, Himalaya; Sundstrøm, Terje; Thorsen, Frits (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-14)Melanomas have a high potential to metastasize to the brain. Recent advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapies have changed the therapeutical landscape of extracranial melanomas. However, few patients with melanoma ... -
Effective treatment of metastatic melanoma by combining MAPK and PI3K signaling pathway inhibitors
Aasen, Synnøve Nymark; Parajuli, Himalaya; Hoang, Tuyen; Feng, Zichao; Stokke, Krister; Wang, Jiwei; Roy, Kislay; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Knappskog, Stian; Thorsen, Frits (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-29)Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer and is closely associated with the development of brain metastases. Despite aggressive treatment, the prognosis has traditionally been poor, necessitating ... -
Inhibition of extracellular vesicle-derived miR-146a-5p decreases progression of melanoma brain metastasis via Notch pathway dysregulation in astrocytes
Rigg, Emma Kayleigh; Wang, Jiwei; Xue, Zhiwei; Lunavat, Taral; Liu, Guowei; Hoang, Tuyen; Parajuli, Himalaya; Han, Mingzhi; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Nazarov, Petr V.; Nicot, Nathalie; Kreis, Stephanie; Margue, Christiane; Nomigni, Miléne Tetsi; Utikal, Jochen; Miletic, Hrvoje; Sundstrøm, Terje; Ystaas, Lars Andreas Rømo; Li, Xingang; Thorsen, Frits (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Melanoma has the highest propensity of all cancers to metastasize to the brain with a large percentage of late-stage patients developing metastases in the central nervous system (CNS). It is well known that metastasis ... -
Trifluoperazine prolongs the survival of experimental brain metastases by STAT3-dependent lysosome membrane permeabilization
Zhang, Xin; Ding, Kaikai; Ji, Jianxiong; Parajuli, Himalaya; Aasen, Synnøve Nymark; Espedal, Heidi; Huang, Bin; Chen, Anjing; Wang, Jian; Li, Xingang; Thorsen, Frits (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Brain metastasis is a major cause of mortality in melanoma patients. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents most anti-tumor compounds from entering the brain, which significantly limits their use in the treatment of brain ... -
α11β1 integrin is induced in a subset of cancer- associated fibroblasts in desmoplastic tumor stroma and mediates in vitro cell migration
Zeltz, Cedric; Alam, Jahedul; Liu, Hengshuo; Erusappan, Pugazendhi M; Hoschuetzky, Heinz; Molven, Anders; Parajuli, Himalaya; Cukierman, Edna; Costea, Daniela Elena; Lu, Ning; Gullberg, Donald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-01)Integrin α11β1 is a collagen receptor that has been reported to be overexpressed in the stroma of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In the current study, we further ...
