      Histology involves the observation of structural features in tissues using a microscope. While diffraction-limited optical microscopes are commonly used in histological investigations, their resolving capabilities are insufficient to visualize details at subcellular level. Although a novel set of super-resolution optical microscopy techniques can fulfill the resolution demands in such cases, the ...

      Fenton, Kristin Andreassen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-01)

    • ICAM1 expression is induced by proinflammatory cytokines and associated with TLS formation in aggressive breast cancer subtypes 

      Figenschau, Stine; Knutsen, Erik; Urbarova, Ilona; Fenton, Christopher Graham; Elston, Bryan; Perander, Maria; Mortensen, Elin Synnøve; Fenton, Kristin Andreassen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-06)
      Intratumoral formation of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) within the tumor microenvironment is considered to be a consequence of antigen challenge during anti-tumor responses. Intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) has been implicated in a variety of immune and inflammatory responses, in addition to associate with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). In this study, we detected TLS in the ...

    • Interplay of immune and kidney resident cells in the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures in lupus nephritis 

      Jamaly, Simin; Rakaee, Mehrdad; Abdi, Reza; tsokos, George; Fenton, Kristin Andreassen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-27)
      Kidney involvement confers significant morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The pathogenesis of lupus nephritis (LN) involves diverse mechanisms instigated by elements of the autoimmune response which alter the biology of kidney resident cells. Processes in the glomeruli and in the interstitium may proceed independently albeit crosstalk between the two is ...

    • Kidney tertiary lymphoid structures in Lupus Nephritis develop into large interconnected networks and resemble lymph nodes in gene signature

      Immune aggregates organized as tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are observed within the kidneys of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis (LN). Renal TLS was characterized in lupus-prone New Zealand black × New Zealand white F1 mice analyzing cell composition and vessel formation. RNA sequencing was performed on transcriptomes isolated from lymph nodes, macrodissected TLS ...

    • LMW Heparin Prevents Increased Kidney Expression of Proinflammatory Mediators in (NZBxNZW)F1 Mice 

      Hedberg, Annica; Kanapathippillai, Premasany; Rekvig, Ole Petter; Fenton, Kristin Andreassen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      We have previously demonstrated that continuous infusion of low molecular weight (LMW) heparin delays autoantibody production and development of lupus nephritis in (NZBxNZW)F1 (B/W) mice. In this study we investigated the effect of LMW heparin on renal cytokine and chemokine expression and on nucleosome-mediated activation of nucleosome-specific splenocytes. Total mRNA extracted from kidneys of ...

    • Machine learning derived input-function in a dynamic 18F-FDG PET study of mice 

      Kuttner, Samuel; Wickstrøm, Kristoffer Knutsen; Kalda, Gustav; Dorraji, Seyed Esmaeil; Martin-Armas, Montserrat; Oteiza, Ana; Jenssen, Robert; Fenton, Kristin Andreassen; Sundset, Rune; Axelsson, Jan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-13)
      Tracer kinetic modelling, based on dynamic <sup>18</sup>F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is used to quantify glucose metabolism in humans and animals. Knowledge of the arterial input-function (AIF) is required for such measurements. Our aim was to explore two non-invasive machine learning-based models, for AIF prediction in a small-animal dynamic FDG PET study. 7 tissue ...

    • Mesenchymal stem cells and T cells in the formation of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in Lupus Nephritis

      Lymphoid neogenesis occurs in tissues targeted by chronic inflammatory processes, such as infection and autoimmunity. In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), such structures develop within the kidneys of lupus-prone mice ((NZBXNZW)F1) and are observed in kidney biopsies taken from SLE patients with lupus nephritis (LN). The purpose of this prospective longitudinal animal study was to detect early ...

    • Tertiary lymphoid structures are associated with higher tumor grade in primary operable breast cancer patients 

      Figenschau, Stine Linn; Fismen, Silje; Fenton, Kristin Andreassen; Fenton, Christopher Graham; Mortensen, Elin Synnøve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-03-06)
      Background: Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are highly organized immune cell aggregates that develop at sites of inflammation or infection in non-lymphoid organs. Despite the described role of inflammation in tumor progression, it is still unclear whether the process of lymphoid neogenesis and biological function of ectopic lymphoid tissue in tumors are beneficial or detrimental to tumor growth. ...
