Moreover, MMP-8 functions were assessed in the ...

    • Molecular Interactions Stabilizing the Promatrix Metalloprotease-9·Serglycin Heteromer 

      Dawadi, Rangita; Malla, Nabin; Hegge, Beate; Wushur, Imin; Berg, Eli; Svineng, Gunbjørg; Sylte, Ingebrigt; Winberg, Jan-Olof (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-12)
      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 ...

    • Nephronectin as a matrix effector in cancer 

      Norvoll Magnussen, Synnøve; Toraskar, Jimita Prashant; Hadler-Olsen, Elin Synnøve; Steigedal, Tonje S.; Svineng, Gunbjørg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-25)
      The extracellular matrix protein nephronectin plays an important regulatory role during embryonic development, controlling renal organogenesis through integrin α8β1 association. Nephronectin has three main domains: five N-terminal epidermal growth factor-like domains, a linker region harbouring two integrin-binding motifs (RGD and LFEIFEIER), and a C-terminal MAM domain. In this review, we look into ...

    • Nephronectin is Correlated with Poor Prognosis in Breast Cancer and Promotes Metastasis via its Integrin-Binding Motifs 

      Steigedal, Tonje S.; Toraskar, Jimita; Redvers, Richard P.; Valla, Marit; Magnussen, Synnøve; Bofin, Anna M.; Opdahl, Signe; Lundgren, Steinar; Eckhardt, Bedrich L.; Lamar, John M.; Doherty, Judy; Hynes, Richard O.; Anderson, Robin L.; Svineng, Gunbjørg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-11)
      Most cancer patients with solid tumors who succumb to their illness die of metastatic disease. While early detection and improved treatment have led to reduced mortality, even for those with metastatic cancer, some patients still respond poorly to treatment. Understanding the mechanisms of metastasis is important to improve prognostication, to stratify patients for treatment, and to identify new ...

    • Nephronectin mediates p38 MAPK‐induced cell viability via its integrin binding enhancer motif 

      Toraskar, Jimita Prashant; Magnussen, Synnøve; Chawla, Konika; Svineng, Gunbjørg; Steigedal, Tonje S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-30)
      Nephronectin (NPNT) is an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein involved in kidney development. We recently reported intracellular NPNT as a potential prognostic marker in breast cancer and that NPNT promotes metastasis in an integrin‐dependent manner. Here, we used reverse‐phase protein array (RPPA) to analyze NPNT‐triggered intracellular signaling in the 66cl4 mouse breast cancer cell line. The results ...

    • Nephronectin promotes breast cancer brain metastatic colonization via its integrin-binding domains 

      Norvoll Magnussen, Synnøve; Toraskar, Jimita Prashant; Wilhelm, Imola; Hasko, Janos; Figenschau, Stine; Molnar, Judit; Seppola, Marit; Steigen, Sonja Eriksson; Steigedal, Tonje S.; Hadler-Olsen, Elin Synnøve; Krizbai, Istvan; Svineng, Gunbjørg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-22)
      This study demonstrates a role for the extracellular matrix protein nephronectin (NPNT) in promoting experimental breast cancer brain metastasis, possibly through enhanced binding to- and migration through brain endothelial cells. With the introduction of more targeted breast cancer treatments, a prolonged survival has resulted during the last decade. Consequently, an increased number of patients ...

    • A Novel Truncated Form of Nephronectin Is Present in Small Extracellular Vesicles Isolated from 66cl4 Cells 

      Toraskar, Jimita Prashant; Norvoll Magnussen, Synnøve; Hagen, Lars; Sharma, Animesh; Hoang, Linh; Bjørkøy, Geir; Svineng, Gunbjørg; Steigedal, Tonje S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-01)
      Extracellular vesicles are emerging as biomarkers in breast cancer. Our recent report suggested that an intracellular granular staining pattern of the extracellular matrix protein nephronectin (NPNT) in breast tumor sections correlated with a poor prognosis. Furthermore, the results showed that NPNT is localized in extracellular vesicles derived from mouse breast cancer cells. In this study, we ...

    • Plectin as a prognostic marker in non-metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma 

      Rikardsen, Oddveig G; Magnussen, Synnøve; Svineng, Gunbjørg; Hadler-Olsen, Elin Synnøve; Uhlin-Hansen, Lars; Steigen, Sonja Eriksson (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-26)
      <p>Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is associated with a poor 5-year survival rate. In general, patients diagnosed with small tumors have a fairly good prognosis, but some small tumors have an aggressive behavior leading to early death. There are at present no reliable prognostic biomarkers for oral cancers. Thus, to optimize treatment for the individual patient, there is a need ...

    • The proteoglycan repertoire of lymphoid cells 

      Fadnes, Bodil Irene; Husebekk, Anne; Svineng, Gunbjørg; Rekdal, Øystein; Yanagishita, Masaki; Kolset, Svein Olav; Uhlin-Hansen, Lars (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Proteoglycans have been studied to a limited extent in lymphoid cells. In this study we have investigated the expression of proteoglycans in B-cells, CD4+ T-cells, CD8+ T-cells, natural killer cells, as well as in nine different cell lines established from patients with lymphoid malignancies. Serglycin was the major proteoglycan expressed at mRNA level by the primary lymphocytes. None of the syndecans ...

    • The selectivity of galardin and an azasugar-based hydroxamate compound for human Matrix metalloproteases and bacterial metalloproteases 

      Sylte, Ingebrigt; Dawadi, Rangita; Malla, Nabin; von Hofsten, Susannah; Nguyen, Tra-Mi; Solli, Ann Iren; Berg, Eli; Adekoya, Olayiwola A.; Svineng, Gunbjørg; Winberg, Jan-Olof (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-03)
      Inhibitors targeting bacterial enzymes should not interfere with enzymes of the host, and knowledge about structural determinants for selectivity is important for designing inhibitors with a therapeutic potential. We have determined the binding strengths of two hydroxamate compounds, galardin and compound 1b for the bacterial zinc metalloproteases, thermolysin, pseudolysin and auerolysin, known to ...
