1. Glucose- and hypoxia-regulated insulin gene expression
Sammanfattning : Although extensively studied, there are still many unanswered questions regarding the exact regulation of insulin gene expression. This is important to further investigate since it will hopefully help us understand the pathophysiology of some types of diabetes. LÄS MER
2. Role of p70 S6 kinase in the formation of tau pathologies in Alzheimer’s disease
Sammanfattning : One of the important neuropathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the tau pathology seen as accumulation and hyperphosphorylation of this protein. Evidences showed that tau could be phosphorylated mostly at serine/threonine (S/T) residues by many kinases, including protein kinase B, glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3beta, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2), ERK1/2 kinase (MEK1/2), c-Jun Nterminal kinase (JNK), and p38.

3. Tau and neurofilament proteins in Alzheimer’s disease and related cell models
Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Among those afflicted with dementia more than half suffer from Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Pathological hallmarks of the disease include aggregates of Abeta, so called amyloid plaques, and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) made up of hyperphosphorylated cytoskeletal proteins. LÄS MER
4. Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase 3B: Regulation in rat adipocytes and 3T3-L1 cells
Sammanfattning : Insulin stimulation of rat adipocytes results in phosphorylation and activation of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B), a key enzyme in the antilipolytic signalling pathway of this hormone. In this thesis, the site phosphorylated in PDE3B upon stimulation of rat adipocytes with insulin and/or the beta-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol is identified. LÄS MER
5. Basis for reclassification of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Sammanfattning : Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) shows broad differences in racial and geographical distribution, radiosensitivity, and a multifactorial etiology. This thesis aims to identify molecular biomarkers with potentially valuable for prognostic implications in NPC. LÄS MER
