  2. 1. Functional characterization of the liopsarcoma-associated fusion oncigene FUS-DDIT3

    Author : Melker Göransson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Myxoid round cell liposarcoma; fusion oncogenes; FUS; DDIT3; tumor development; cell cycle regulators; IL6; IL8; NFkappaB.;

    Abstract : Fusion genes represent a growing class of translocation-derived potent oncogenes that frequently show tumor type-specific expression. We have studied the myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MLS/RCLS)-specific FUS-DDIT3 fusion, with the aim of functionally characterizing this fusion oncogene in sarcoma development. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tissue Factor Biological Functions : Coagulation Activity in Microparticles and Signaling with Focus On Migration and Apoptosis

    Author : Mikael Åberg; Agneta Siegbahn; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Teet Velling; Björn Dahlbäck; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tissue factor; Apoptosis; Migration; Chemotaxis; Simvastatin; Platelet Derived Growth Factor; Cell Signaling; Microparticles; Prostasomes; Trombosis; Coagulation; Prostate Cancer; Breast Cancer; Caspase-3; Caspase-8; NFkappaB; PAR2; Transactivation; Monocytes; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Background: Tissue factor (TF) is a 47 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein known as the main initiator of blood coagulation. TF is over-expressed on many malignant cells and apart from increasing the risk of thrombosis, the presence of TF/FVIIa also promotes the progression of cancer and metastasis by intracellular signaling.

  5. 3. Regulation of HIV-1 provirus transcription

    Author : Mojgan H Naghavi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Key words- HIV-1; LTR; transcription; subtypes; phylogenetic analysis; NFkappaB; USF; MCEF; HMG-1 DSP1; Dorsal.;

    Abstract : Transcription of the HIV-genome is regulated by the interaction of viral long terminal repeat (LTR) cis-acting sequences with a complex of viral regulatory proteins and cellular transcription factors. The complex interplay between the cellular-, and/or viral proteins and LTR of different subtypes may play a role in the control of HIV-1 latency versus activation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modifications of cardiovascular response to ischemia and trauma

    Author : Fausto Labruto; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Ischemia; trauma; cardiovascular function; preconditioning;

    Abstract : Ischemia and trauma are two clinical problems characterized by a common response: inflammation and potentially deleterious effects on the organism. Surgery is a form of trauma, and the most advanced surgical operations, including open heart surgery, aortic surgery, and organ transplantation, cause trauma and ischemia of the cardiovascular system.

  7. 5. NF-kB in epidermal signal transduction and tumor development

    Author : Max van Hogerlinden; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The transcription factor NF-kappaB has been extensively studied since its discovery. NFkappaB has been shown to be invoved in many cellular processes in many different cell types. However, its functions in skin physiology and epidermal tumor development are largely unknown. READ MORE
