  2. 1. Regulation of TGFβ signaling by long non-coding RNAs and ADP-ribosylation

    Author : Panagiotis Papoutsoglou; Aristidis Moustakas; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Peter Zaphiropoulos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TGFβ; signal transduction; long non-coding RNAs; ADP-ribosylation; transcriptional regulation; chromatin remodeling; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling pathways participate in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis and have a dual role in cancer. TGFβ acts as a tumor suppressor that promotes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis at initial stages of tumorigenesis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Regulation of TGF-β Signaling by Post-Translational Modifications

    Author : Peter Lönn; Aristidis Moustakas; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Petra Knaus; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TGF-β; Smad; PARP-1; PARG; ALK5; SIK; signal transduction; transcription; post-translational modification; phosphorylation; ubiquitin; ADP-ribosylation; DNA-binding; receptor degradation; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Biology with specialization in Molecular Cell Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling is initiated when the ligand binds to type II and type I serine/threonine kinase receptors at the cell surface. Activated TGF-β type I receptors phosphorylate R-Smads which relocate, together with co-Smads, to the cell nucleus and regulate transcription. READ MORE

  5. 3. Lipid storage and secretion. Studies on VLDL assembly and foam cell formation

    Author : Björn Magnusson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ADP-ribosylation factor 1; very low density lipoprotein; lipid droplet; adipocyte differentiation-related protein; hypoxia; foam cell;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with formation of two factors of upmost importance for the development of atherosclerosis: the triglyceride rich very low density lipoproteins 1 (VLDL1) and the lipid loaded macrophages ("foam cells"- characteristic features of the atherosclerotic lesion). Both these processes depend on the cellular accumulation of lipids. READ MORE

  6. 4. Gene regulation by different proteins of TGFβ superfamily

    Author : Varun Maturi; Aristidis Moustakas; Anita Göndör; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; EMT; Snail1; ZEB1; TGFβ; BMP; Gene regulation;

    Abstract : The present thesis discusses how gene regulation by transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family cytokines is affected by post-translational modifications of different transcription factors. The thesis also focuses on gene regulation by transcription factors involved in TGFβ signaling. READ MORE

  7. 5. Towards novel antibacterials : Synthesis and identification of natural product inspired inhibitors of Chlamydia trachomatis and development of chemical probes targeting virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Author : Michael Saleeb; Mikael Elofsson; Anna Linusson Jonsson; Andreas Kirschning; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibacterials; antibiotics; small molecules; natural products; benzofuran; dihydrobenzofuran; the type III secretion system; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Chlamydia trachomatis; phenotypic screening; high-throughput screening; surface plasmon resonance; drug discovery; bacterial toxins; enzyme inhibitors; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance has evolved significantly to become one of the serious threats to public health today. Yet, the pipeline of new antibiotics is drying up and is lagging behind the challenging needs. READ MORE
