In-vitro characterization of STUB1 mutations in recessively inherited spinocerebellar ataxia-16
(Master thesis, 2016-05-31)Autosomal Recessive Cerebellar Ataxia (ARCA) develops as a result of inefficient protein turnover and further accumulation of damaged proteins inside the cells. Some of mutations associated with ARCA are identified in the ... -
Insights into the cellular role of Serine19 phosphorylation in tyrosine hydroxylase
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate limiting enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of catecholamines. The posttranslational modification of its regulatory domain controls the regulation of TH enzyme ... -
The impact of different dietary sources of marine polyunsaturated fatty acids on the fatty acid composition of rat brain, liver and red blood cells.
(Master thesis, 2005-06)There is a general consensus that the physiological activity of fish oil can be ascribable to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3). However, the form in which they are introduced in ... -
Quantitative analyses of the hepatic proteome of methylmercury-exposed Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) suggest oxidative stress-mediated effects on cellular energy metabolism
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-05)Background: Methylmecury (MeHg) is a widely distributed environmental pollutant with considerable risk to both human health and wildlife. To gain better insight into the underlying mechanisms of MeHg-mediated toxicity, we ... -
Marine Benthic Cyanobacteria Contain Apoptosis-Inducing Activity Synergizing with Daunorubicin to Kill Leukemia Cells, but not Cardiomyocytes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-10-14)The potential of marine benthic cyanobacteria as a source of anticancer drug candidates was assessed in a screen for induction of cell death (apoptosis) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Of the 41 marine cyanobacterial ... -
Iodinin (1,6-dihydroxyphenazine 5,10-dioxide) from Streptosporangium sp. induces apoptosis selectively in myeloid leukemia cell lines and patient cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-30)Despite recent improvement in therapy, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is still associated with high lethality. In the presented study, we analyzed the bioactive compound iodinin (1,6-dihydroxyphenazine 5,10-dioxide) from a ... -
Cell Death inducing microbial protein phosphatase inhibitors-mechanisms of action
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-22)Okadaic acid (OA) and microcystin (MC) as well as several other microbial toxins like nodularin and calyculinA are known as tumor promoters as well as inducers of apoptotic cell death. Their intracellular targets are the ... -
Inference of low and high-grade glioma gene regulatory networks delineates the role of Rnd3 in establishing multiple hallmarks of cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-07-01)Gliomas are a highly heterogeneous group of brain tumours that are refractory to treatment, highly invasive and pro-angiogenic. Glioblastoma patients have an average survival time of less than 15 months. Understanding the ... -
Health-related quality of life in elderly patients hospitalized with chronic heart failure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-11-15)Background: Chronic heart failure is a very common condition in the elderly, characterized not only by high mortality rates, but also by a strong impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Previous studies of HRQOL ... -
Determinants of ligand binding and catalytic activity in the myelin enzyme 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-13)2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) is an enzyme highly abundant in the central nervous system myelin of terrestrial vertebrates. The catalytic domain of CNPase belongs to the 2H phosphoesterase superfamily ... -
A new live-cell reporter strategy to simultaneously monitor mitochondrial biogenesis and morphology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-24)Changes in mitochondrial amount and shape are intimately linked to maintenance of cell homeostasis via adaptation of vital functions. Here, we developed a new live-cell reporter strategy to simultaneously monitor mitochondrial ... -
Reliable FASP-based procedures for optimal quantitative proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis on samples from acute myeloid leukemia patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-06-21)Background Satisfactory sample preparation for mass spectrometry-based analysis is a critical step in the proteomics workflow. The quality and reproducibility of sample preparation can determine the coverage and confidence ... -
Vascular endothelial growth factors and receptors - from normal dental pulp to apical pathology
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-02-12)The VEGFs -A, -B, -C, -D are important signaling molecules with pivotal implication in the growth of blood and lymphatic vessels, the so-called angio- and lymphangiogenesis. They exert their activities by binding to their ... -
Conformational stability and activity analysis of two hydroxymethylbilane synthase mutants, K132N and V215E, with different phenotypic association with acute intermittent porphyria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-08)The autosomal dominantly inherited disease AIP (acute intermittent porphyria) is caused by mutations in HMBS [hydroxymethylbilane synthase; also known as PBG (porphobilinogen) deaminase], the third enzyme in the haem ... -
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 ... -
Dynamic expression of long noncoding RNAs and repeat elements in synaptic plasticity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-01)Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission is recognized as a cellular mechanism for learning and memory storage. Although de novo gene transcription is known to be required in the formation of stable LTP, the ... -
Reduced Granulation Tissue and Wound Strength in the Absence of α11β1 Integrin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12-08)Previous wound healing studies have failed to define a role for either α1β1 or α2β1 integrin in fibroblast-mediated wound contraction, suggesting the involvement of another collagen receptor in this process. Our previous ... -
Expanding the toolbox of ADHD genetics. How can we make sense of parent of origin effects in ADHD and related behavioral phenotypes?
