• Antimicrobial activity of amphipathic α,α-disubstituted β-amino amide derivatives against ESBL–CARBA producing multi-resistant bacteria; effect of halogenation, lipophilicity and cationic character 

      Paulsen, Marianne Hagensen; Ausbacher, Dominik; Bayer, Annette; Engqvist, Magnus; Hansen, Terkel; Haug, Tor; Anderssen, Trude; Andersen, Jeanette Hammer; Sollid, Johanna U. Ericson; Strøm, Morten B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-06)
      The rapid emergence and spread of multi-resistant bacteria have created an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents. We report here a series of amphipathic α,α-disubstituted β-amino amide derivatives with activity against 30 multi-resistant clinical isolates of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including isolates with extended spectrum β-lactamase – carbapenemase (ESBL-CARBA) production. A ...
    • Development of quantitative assay for simultaneous measurement of purine metabolites and creatinine in biobanked urine by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry 

      Svistounov, Dmitri; Solbu, Marit Dahl; Jenssen, Trond Geir; Mathisen, Ulla Dorte; Hansen, Terkel; Elgstøen, Katja Benedikte Prestø; Zykova, Svetlana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-20)
      Purine metabolism is essential for all known living creatures, including humans in whom elevated serum concentration of purine break-down product uric acid (UA) is probably an independent risk factor for mortality, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular events. An automated multiplex assay that measures several purine metabolites could therefore prove useful in many areas of medical, veterinary and ...
    • Lipidomics in ulcerative colitis reveal alteration in mucosal lipid composition associated with the disease state 

      Diab, Joseph; Hansen, Terkel; Goll, Rasmus; Stenlund, Hans; Ahnlund, Maria; Jensen, Einar; Moritz, Thomas; Florholmen, Jon; Forsdahl, Guro (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-11)
      <p><i>Background - </i>The onset of ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with alterations in lipid metabolism and a disruption of the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules. Only a few studies describe the mucosal lipid biosignatures during active UC. Moreover, the dynamics of lipid metabolism in the remission state is poorly defined. Therefore, this study aims to characterize mucosal ...
    • Mucosal Metabolomic Profiling and Pathway Analysis Reveal the Metabolic Signature of Ulcerative Colitis 

      Diab, Joseph; Hansen, Terkel; Goll, Rasmus; Stenlund, Hans; Jensen, Einar; Moritz, Thomas; Florholmen, Jon; Forsdahl, Guro (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-27)
      The onset of ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by a dysregulated mucosal immune response triggered by several genetic and environmental factors in the context of host–microbe interaction. This complexity makes UC ideal for metabolomic studies to unravel the disease pathobiology and to improve the patient stratification strategies. This study aims to explore the mucosal metabolomic profile in ...
    • Polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a broad applicability marker for LC–MS/MS-based biodistribution analysis of nanomedicines 

      Hyldbakk, Astrid; Hansen, Terkel; Hak, Sjoerd; Borgos, Sven Even F. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-13)
      Polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugation (PEGylation) is a well-established strategy to improve the pharmacokinetic and biocompatibility properties of a wide variety of nanomedicines and therapeutic peptides and proteins. This broad use makes PEG an attractive ‘allround’ candidate marker for the biodistribution of such PEGylated compounds. This paper presents the development of a novel strategy for ...
    • The Presumed Polyomavirus Viroporin VP4 of Simian Virus 40 or Human BK Polyomavirus Is Not Required for Viral Progeny Release 

      Henriksen, Stian; Hansen, Terkel; Bruun, Jack-Ansgar; Rinaldo, Christine Hanssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-14)
      The minor capsid protein of human BK polyomavirus (BKPyV), VP2, and its N-terminally truncated form, VP3, are both important for viral entry. The closely related simian virus 40 (SV40) reportedly produces an additional truncated form of VP2/3, denoted VP4, apparently functioning as a viroporin promoting progeny release. The VP4 open reading frame is conserved in some polyomaviruses, including BKPyV. ...
    • A Quantitative Analysis of Colonic Mucosal Oxylipins and Endocannabinoids in Treatment-Naïve and Deep Remission Ulcerative Colitis Patients and the Potential Link With Cytokine Gene Expression 

      Diab, Joseph; Al-Mahdi, Rania; Gouveia, Sandra; Hansen, Terkel; Jensen, Einar; Goll, Rasmus; Moritz, Thomas; Florholmen, Jon; Forsdahl, Guro (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-22)
      <p><i>Background</i> - The bioactive metabolites of omega 3 and omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 and ω-6) are known as oxylipins and endocannabinoids (eCBs). These lipid metabolites are involved in prompting and resolving the inflammatory response that leads to the onset of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aims to quantify these bioactive lipids in the colonic mucosa and to ...
    • Starvation induces rapid degradation of selective autophagy receptors by endosomal microautophagy 

      Mejlvang, Jakob; Olsvik, Hallvard Lauritz; Svenning, Steingrim; Bruun, Jack-Ansgar; Abudu, Yakubu Princely; Larsen, Kenneth Bowitz; Brech, Andreas; Hansen, Tom Egil; Brenne, Hanne Britt; Hansen, Terkel; Stenmark, Harald Alfred; Johansen, Terje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-17)
      It is not clear to what extent starvation-induced autophagy affects the proteome on a global scale and whether it is selective. In this study, we report based on quantitative proteomics that cells during the first 4 h of acute starvation elicit lysosomal degradation of up to 2–3% of the proteome. The most significant changes are caused by an immediate autophagic response elicited by shortage of amino ...
    • Ulcerative colitis: Functional analysis of the in-depth proteome 

      Schniers, Armin; Goll, Rasmus; Pasing, Yvonne; Sørbye, Sveinung; Florholmen, Jon; Hansen, Terkel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-29)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one major form of inflammatory bowel disease. The cause and the pathophysiology of the disease are not fully understood and we therefor aim in this study to identify important pathophysiological features in UC from proteomics data. <p><i>Methods - </i>Colon mucosa biopsies from inflamed tissue of untreated UC patients at diagnosis and from healthy ...
