  2. 1. TRAF6 stimulates TGFβ-induced oncogenic signal transduction in cancer cells

    Author : Shyam Kumar Gudey; Marene Landström; Urban Lendahl; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; c-Jun; invasion; non-Smad; Notch; NICD; oncogenesis; presenilin1; PKCζ; prostate cancer; p21; p38; p300; Snail1; TGFβ; TβRI; TACE; TRAF6; ubiquitination; TGFbeta signal transduction; Pathology; patologi;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in men worldwide, with 10,000 new cases/year diagnosed in Sweden. In this context, there is an urgent need to identify new biomarkers to detect prostate cancer at an initial stage for earlier treatment intervention. READ MORE

  4. 2. TGFβ and LXR signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma

    Author : Claudia Bellomo; Aristidis Moustakas; Lars Holmgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hepatocellular Carcinoma; high-throughput imaging; small molecules; epithelial plasticity; LXR; Snail; TGFβ; tumor suppression; reactive oxygen species; cancer-associated fibroblast; myofibroblast; Smad3; αSMA;

    Abstract : Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent cancer types in the Western world and in the Asia-pacific regions, with its incidence expected to rise up to 22 million cases till 2020. Hepatocellular carcinoma etiology is mainly due to hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) infections, and to a lesser extent it is determined by the development of alcohol-driven cirrhosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

  5. 3. Non-canonical TGFb signaling pathways in prostate cancer

    Author : Jie Song; Marene Landström; Staffan Strömblad; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : TGFβ; TβRI; TRAF6; ubiquitination; APPL1; p85; AKT; PKCζ;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men in the Western world. Deregulation of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling pathway is frequently detected in prostate cancer and contributes to tumor growth, migration, and invasion. 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. Role of TGFβ-induced hyaluronan-CD44 signaling in cancer progression

    Author : Constantinos Kolliopoulos; Evi Heldin; Aristidis Moustakas; Jonathan Sleeman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hyaluronan; CD44; TGFβ; cancer; EMT; signal transduction; transcriptional regulation;

    Abstract : Hyaluronan, a prevalent glycosaminoglycan of the extracellular space often accumulates in pathological conditions, such as chronic inflammation, infection, and cancer. Hyaluronan synthase HAS2 has been responsible for the synthesis and deposition of hyaluronan in a variety of tumors. READ MORE
