1. Modulating Sirtuin Activity - Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Sirtuin 2 Inhibitors
Sammanfattning : Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD+-dependent lysine deacetylating enzymes targeting histones and a multitude of non-histone proteins. The SIRTs have been related to important cellular processes such as gene expression, cell proliferation, apoptosis and metabolism. They are proposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of e.g. LÄS MER
2. Antiproliferative action of estrogen receptor beta and Hes-1 in breast cancer
Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among Swedish women. Although the mechanism behind the tumorigenesis remains unclear, estrogen receptor a (ERa) plays an important role in the progression of breast cancer and is regarded as a target for endocrine therapy. LÄS MER
3. Naphthoxylosides Investigations into glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis
Sammanfattning : Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are members of a family of polysaccharide structures consisting mostly of repeating disaccharide units. Most GAGs are attached to specific serine residues in proteins to form proteoglycans (PGs). LÄS MER
4. Synthetic studies on naphthoxylosides - labeled compounds and mechanistic studies on acetals
Sammanfattning : Labeled analogs to an antiproliferative naphthoxyloside have been synthesized and evaluated. Our investigations have shown that the fluorescently labeled analogs are poor structural analogs, and the physical and biological properties are altered to a large extent. LÄS MER
5. Alkaline Sphingomyelinase; A Potential Inhibitor in Colorectal Carcinogenesis
Sammanfattning : Sphingomyelin (SM) is present both in eucaryotic cells and the diet. Sphingomyelinase (SMase) hydrolyses SM and generates ceramide that has been implicated in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. Previously a SMase with alkaline pH optimum was identified in the intestinal tract. LÄS MER
