  2. 1. Notch Signaling in Neuroblastoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma

    Author : Jonas Sjölund; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; differentiation; clear cell renal cell carcinoma; neuroblastoma; TGF-beta; migration; γ-secretase; valproic acid; cancer; Notch; ERK; von Hippel-Lindau; hypoxia;

    Abstract : The Notch signaling pathway governs cell functions essential for normal development and organogenesis. Aberrant Notch signaling has been implicated in tumorigenesis by perturbing control of proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, migration and angiogenesis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Regulation of PKCalpha and the role of PKC in neuroblastoma cell migration

    Author : Helena Stensman; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; neuroblastoma; cell migration; intramolecular interactions; autophosphorylation; Protein kinase C; onkologi; cancer;

    Abstract : Members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine/threonine kinases play critical roles in cellular regulation. Depending on differences in regulation, PKCs can be divided into classical (alpha, betaI, betaII and gamma), novel (delta, epsilon, eta and theta) and atypical (zeta and iota/lambda) isoforms.

  5. 3. Approaches to Treatment of Children with Advanced Neuroblastoma

    Author : Ingrid Øra; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrics; drug resistance; hypoxia; apoptosis; arsenic trioxide; treatment; diagnosis; neuroblastoma; sympathetic nervous system; Pediatri; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

    Abstract : Children with advanced neuroblastoma are at high risk for relapse of multidrug resistant disease, despite initial response to intensive multimodality treatment. Neuroblastomas have similarities with immature neuroblasts seen during embryonic development of the sympathetic nervous system (the origin of these tumors). READ MORE

  6. 4. TGF-B signaling in Neuroblastoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma

    Author : Anna-Karin Boström; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Renal Cell Carcinoma; ATN; Regeneration; Notch; TGF-B; EMT; Neuroblastoma; MYCN; miR-17-92;

    Abstract : The tubular cells of the adult kidney are normally mitotically quiescent, in stark contrast to the massive regenerative capacity of the injured renal epithelium. In Paper I we characterized a new cell population of progenitor cells using ALDH as a selection marker. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hypoxia and Stem Cells in Normal and Tumor Development

    Author : Camilla Niklasson; Avdelningen för translationell cancerforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; neuroblastoma; hypoxia; preclinical cancer models; ALDH; HIF-2α; PT2385;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma is a childhood malignancy of the sympathetic nervous system and accounts for 15% of all cancer-related deaths in children. To understand the biology behind neuroblastoma, clarify timing of cellular events and expression profiles of proteins preceding neuroblastoma initiation, we need more relevant preclinical models.
