  2. 11. Regulation of Gene Expression in Multiple Myeloma Cells and Normal Fibroblasts : Integrative Bioinformatic and Experimental Approaches

    Author : Prasoon Agarwal; Helena Jernberg Wiklund; Håkan Axelson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Multiple myeloma; Integrative bioinformatics; Epigenetics; CGGBP1; RNA polymerase; Oncology; Onkologi; Bioinformatik; Bioinformatics;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis applies integrative genomic and experimental approaches to investigate mechanisms involved in regulation of gene expression in the context of disease and normal cell biology.In papers I and II, we have explored the role of epigenetic regulation of gene expression in multiple myeloma (MM).

    Abstract : In eukaryotes the genome adopts a non-random spatial organisation, which is important for gene regulation. However, very little is known about the driving forces behind nuclear organisation. READ MORE

  5. 13. Targeted Inhibition of Polycomb Repressive Complexes in Multiple Myeloma : Implications for Biology and Therapy

    Author : Mohammad Alzrigat; Helena Jernberg-Wiklund; Fredrik Öberg; Kristina Drott; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Multiple Myeloma; Epigenetics; Polycomb; PRC2; PRC1; EZH2; BMI-1; UNC1999; PTC-209; Epigenetic Therapy; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

    Abstract : Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy of antibody producing plasmablasts/plasma cells. MM is characterized by extensive genetic and clonal heterogeneity, which have hampered the attempts to identify a common underlying mechanism for disease establishment and development of appropriate treatment regimes.

  6. 14. Molecular studies of endocrine tumors : Insights from genetics and epigenetics

    Author : Samuel Backman; Per Hellman; Peter Stålberg; Olov Norlén; Robert Bränström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuroendocrine tumors; Carcinoid; Pheochromocytoma; Aldosterone; Cancer; MEN1; Multiple endocrine neoplasia; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Endocrine tumors may be benign or malignant and may occur in any of the hormone producing tissues. They share several biological characteristics, including a low mutation-burden, and may co-occur in several hereditary tumor syndromes. The aim of this thesis was to identify genetic and epigenetic aberrations in endocrine tumors. READ MORE

  7. 15. Studies of epigenetic deregulation in parathyroid tumors and small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors

    Author : Elham Barazeghi; Gunnar Westin; Peter Stålberg; Per Hellman; Christofer Juhlin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epigenetics; 5hmC; TET1; TET2; parathyroid tumors; SI-NET; RRBS; PTPRM;

    Abstract : Deregulation of the epigenome is associated with the initiation and progression of various types of human cancers. Here we investigated the level of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), expression and function of TET1 and TET2, and DNA methylation in parathyroid tumors and small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs).
