  1. 16. Adipose tissue gene expression & candidate genes for obesity

    Författare :Lovisa Johansson; Diabetes - klinisk obesitasforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Insulin resistance; Obesity; Adipose tissue; Adiponutrin; PNPLA; PPARGC1A; Gene expression; Case-control association study; Microarray; Genotyping; Population-based study;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity results from an interaction between genetic and environmental factors and is a growing health problem associated with development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This thesis has focused on investigating the genetic contribution in obesity and insulin resistance by both candidate and global gene approaches with focus on the adipose tissue. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Epigenetic Regulation of Gene Transcription in Hematopoietic Tumors

    Författare :Marina Tshuikina Wiklander; Fredrik Öberg; Kenneth Nilsson; Ugo Testa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; IRF family; ICSBP IRF8; epigenetics; ATRA; TNFα; histone modifications; methylation; transcription; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD;

    Sammanfattning : Epigenetic modifications were shown to play an essential role in tumorigenesis. Epigenetic mechanisms can alter transcription in several ways, through DNA methylation and/or through histone modification. DNA methylation at the TSS (transcriptional start site) has been implicated in tumor development and gene silencing. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Gene regulation by different proteins of TGFβ superfamily

    Författare :Varun Maturi; Aristidis Moustakas; Anita Göndör; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; EMT; Snail1; ZEB1; TGFβ; BMP; Gene regulation;

    Sammanfattning : The present thesis discusses how gene regulation by transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family cytokines is affected by post-translational modifications of different transcription factors. The thesis also focuses on gene regulation by transcription factors involved in TGFβ signaling. LÄS MER

  5. 19. RNA-based mechanisms of chromatin and gene regulation

    Författare :Jordi Planells Rodrigo; Neus Visa; Simon Elsässer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gene regulation; chromatin; non-coding RNAs; genome-wide studies; Drosophila melanogaster; ADAR3; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : Cells regulate gene expression in a particular spatio-temporal manner by executing specific transcriptional programs. The different transcriptional programs allow the generation of the different cell types in multicellular organisms and mediate particular cellular responses to external cues such as viral infections.

  7. 20. RhoGTPase Signaling in Cell Polarity and Gene Regulation

    Författare :Ann-Sofi Johansson; Pontus Aspenström; Johan Lennartsson; Christer Larsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; RhoGTPase; Par6; cell polarity; aPKC; epithelial cell; PDGF; gene regulation; microarray; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : RhoGTPases are proteins working as molecular switches as they bind and hydrolyze GTP. They are in their active conformation when GTP is bound and are then able to interact with their effector proteins, which relay the downstream signaling. When the GTP is hydrolyzed to GDP, the RhoGTPase is inactivated. LÄS MER
