• Differential expression of the miR-17-92 cluster and miR-17 family in breast cancer according to tumor type; results from the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study 

      Moi, Line; Braaten, Tonje; Al-Shibli, Khalid; Lund, Eiliv; Rasmussen Busund, Lill-Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-03)
      <i>Background</i> - MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are promising biomarkers due to their structural stability and distinct expression profile in various cancers. We wanted to explore the miRNA expression in benign breast tissue and breast cancer subgroups in the Norwegian Women and Cancer study.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - Specimens and histopathological data from study participants in Northern Norway diagnosed ...
    • Expression and function of the miR-143/145 cluster in vitro and in vivo in human breast cancer 

      Johannessen, Charles; Moi, Line; Kiselev, Yury; Pedersen, Mona Irene; Dalen, Stig Manfred; Braaten, Tonje; Busund, Lill-Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-26)
      MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression and are dysregulated in cancer. Studies of miRNAs to explore their potential as diagnostic and prognostic markers are of great scientific interest. Here, we investigate the functional properties and expression of the miR-143/145 cluster in breast cancer (BC) in vitro and in vivo. The ER ...
    • Fibroblast miR-210 overexpression is independently associated with clinical failure in Prostate Cancer – a multicenter (in situ hybridization) study 

      Andersen, Sigve; Richardsen, Elin; Moi, Line; Dønnem, Tom; Nordby, Yngve; Ness, Nora; Eilertsen Holman, Marte; Bremnes, Roy M.; Busund, Lill-Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-08)
      There is a need for better prognostication in prostate cancer (PC). “The micromanager of hypoxia”, microRNA-210 (miR-210) is directly linked to hypoxia, is overexpressed in PC and has been implied in tumor cell-fibroblast crosstalk. We investigated the prognostic impact of miR-210 in tumor cells and fibroblasts in PC. Tumor and stromal samples from a multicenter PC cohort of 535 prostatectomy patients ...
    • Plasma microRNAs as biomarkers of pancreatic cancer risk in a prospective cohort study

      Noninvasive biomarkers for early pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) diagnosis and disease risk stratification are greatly needed. We conducted a nested case-control study within the Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort to evaluate prediagnostic microRNAs (miRs) as biomarkers of subsequent PDAC risk. A panel of eight miRs (miR-10a, -10b, -21-3p, -21-5p, -30c, -106b, ...
    • 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 ...
