  2. 1. Activity of tumor-antigens in polyomavirus replication

    Author : Hongyun Li; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Tumor-Antigens; DNA Replication; Cell-cycle; Phosphorylation; J-domain; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Virology; medicinsk virologi;

    Abstract : Polyomavirus replication needs an active cell environment, and the viral DNA replication is cell cycle regulated. Tumor antigens (T-antigens) of mouse polyomavirus, especially large T-antigen, are necessary for the replication. READ MORE

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adenovirus; virotherapy; oncolytic virus; neuroendocrine tumors; chromogranin A; somatostatin receptors; microRNA; novel biomarkers; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Virology; Virologi; Tumour biology; Tumörbiologi; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap; Oncology; Onkologi; Medical Virology; Medicinsk virologi; Molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Abstract : Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), originally described as carcinoids, represent a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms associated with intensive secretion of hormones, bioactive peptides and amines. Most of the patients are diagnosed at a late stage of disease, often with liver metastases. READ MORE

    Abstract : Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) is widely used as an oncolytic agent for cancer therapy. However, its infectivity is highly dependent on the expression level of coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR) on the surface of tumor cells. READ MORE

  6. 4. Staphylococcal induced inflammatory response in human monocytes: Analysis of factors involved

    Author : Eva Mattsson; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; interleukin-6; interleukin-beta; TNF-alfa; teichoic acid; Staphylococcus epidermidis; peptidoglycan; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Purified bacterial cell wall components peptidoglycan and teichoic acid were isolated from staphylococcal species S. aureus and/or S. epidermidis and tested for their ability to induce cytokine release from plastic-adherent human monocytes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Effects of polyomavirus T antigens on cellular signal transduction pathways

    Author : Karin Söderbärg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Virology; medicinsk virologi;

    Abstract : The early viral proteins, the tumor (T) antigens, of mouse polyomavirus,stimulate cell growth by interaction with cellular growth regulating proteins.The viral interference with cellular growth regulation may, eventually, alsoresult in effects on cellular apoptosis (programmed cell death) mechanisms.
