• Generation of a PAX6 knockout glioblastoma cell line with changes in cell cycle distribution and sensitivity to oxidative stress 

      Hegge, Beate; Sjøttem, Eva; Mikkola, Ingvild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-02)
      <i><p>Background</i>: The transcription factor PAX6 is expressed in various cancers. In anaplastic astrocytic glioma, PAX6 expression is inversely related to tumor grade, resulting in low PAX6 expression in Glioblastoma, the highest-grade astrocytic glioma. The aim of the present study was to develop a PAX6 knock out cell line as a tool for molecular studies of the roles PAX6 have in attenuating ...
    • Molecular Interactions Stabilizing the Promatrix Metalloprotease-9·Serglycin Heteromer

      Previous studies have shown that THP-1 cells produced an SDS-stable and reduction-sensitive complex between proMMP-9 and a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) core protein. The complex could be reconstituted in vitro using purified serglycin (SG) and proMMP-9 and contained no inter-disulfide bridges. It was suggested that the complex involved both the FnII module and HPX domain of proMMP-9. The ...
    • Serglycin is Involved in TGF-β induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition and is highly expressed by immune cells in breast cancer tissue 

      Tellez Gabriel, Marta; Tekpli, Xavier; Reine, Trine M.; Hegge, Beate; Nielsen, Stephanie Rose; Chen, Meng; Moi, Line; Normann, Lisa Svartdal; Rasmussen Busund, Lill-Tove; Calin, George A.; Mælandsmo, Gunhild Mari; Perander, Maria; Theocharis, Achilleas D.; Kolset, Svein Olav; Knutsen, Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-14)
      Serglycin is a proteoglycan highly expressed by immune cells, in which its functions are linked to storage, secretion, transport, and protection of chemokines, proteases, histamine, growth factors, and other bioactive molecules. In recent years, it has been demonstrated that serglycin is also expressed by several other cell types, such as endothelial cells, muscle cells, and multiple types of ...
    • Uptake and organ distribution of feed introduced plasmid DNA in growing or pregnant rats

    • Validation of Selected Head and Neck Cancer Prognostic Markers from the Pathology Atlas in an Oral Tongue Cancer Cohort 

      Wirsing, Anna Maria; Bjerkli, Inger-Heidi; Steigen, Sonja Eriksson; Rikardsen, Oddveig G; Norvoll Magnussen, Synnøve; Hegge, Beate; Seppola, Marit; Uhlin-Hansen, Lars; Hadler-Olsen, Elin Synnøve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-14)
      The Pathology Atlas is an open-access database that reports the prognostic value of protein-coding transcripts in 17 cancers, including head and neck cancer. However, cancers of the various head and neck anatomical sites are specific biological entities. Thus, the aim of the present study was to validate promising prognostic markers for head and neck cancer reported in the Pathology Atlas in oral ...
