  1. 1. Oesophageal Cancer – Novel Targets for Therapy : With focus on Hsp90, EGFR, LRIG, microtubule and telomerase

    Författare :Xuping Wu; Simon Ekman; Johan Lennartsson; Ylva Pausson-Karlsson; Michael Bergqvist; Joachim Gullbo; Stefan Bergstöm; Gunilla Enblad; Claes Mercke; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hsp90; EGFR; LRIG; microtubule; telomerase; oesophageal cancer; imetelstat; DNA double-strand break; 17-AAG; radiation; prognosis; radiosensitisation; microtubule targeting agents; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Oesophageal cancer is a malignant and aggressive disease with very poor survival. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate novel therapeutic targets in oesophageal cancer. In paper I, Hsp90 was expressed in all 81 oesophageal cancer tissues and also in nine oesophageal cancer cell lines. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Searching for Synergy : Radiosensitization of 177Lu-DOTATATE

    Författare :Sara Lundsten; Marika Nestor; Hanna Björkelund; Katarina Edwards; Julie Nonnekens; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; targeted radionuclide therapy; radiosensitization; p53; MDM2 MDM4 inhibition; HSP90; drug synergy; drug delivery; lipid nanoparticles; lipodisks; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Cancers presents a major health challenge, and there is a pressing need to develop new therapeutic strategies. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are the most commonly used treatments for cancer today. Radiation can be given as targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT), i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Functional analysis of the proteasome in eukaryotic organisms

    Författare :Marianthi Sakellari; Efstathios S. Gonos; Allan Sirsjö; Richard G. A. Faragher; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteasome; Proteasome activation; Protein synthesis inhibition; Hsp70; Hsp90; Proteostasis; Aging; Alzheimer’s disease; Caenorhabditis elegans; Lifespan extension; SKN-1;

    Sammanfattning : Proteasome degradation machinery is responsible for the turnover of a huge variety of normal and abnormal proteins, thus regulating a plethora of cellular processes. Aging is an inevitable biological process that is characterized by reduced proteasome function that leads to proteotoxic stress. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Towards Personalized Cancer Therapy : New Diagnostic Biomarkers and Radiosensitization Strategies

    Författare :Diana Spiegelberg; Marika Nestor; Bo Stenerlöw; Johan Lennartson; Theodosia Maina-Nock; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tumor targeting; radionuclide targeting; HSP90 inhibition; AT13387; radiosensitization; molecular imaging; combination treatment; EGFR; CD44v6; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the evaluation of biomarkers for radio-immunodiagnostics and radio-immunotherapy and on radiosensitization strategies after HSP90 inhibition, as a step towards more personalized cancer medicine. There is a need to develop new tracers that target cancer-specific biomarkers to improve diagnostic imaging, as well as to combine treatment strategies to potentiate synergistic effects. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Targeting glutathione peroxidases : identifying environmental modulators, and screening for novel small molecule inhibitors

    Författare :Dorian M. Cheff; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) are a family of selenoproteins that are critical regulators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cell, specifically hydroperoxides like hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). ROS are important for normal cell signaling and are tightly controlled to promote cell growth, proliferation, and survival. LÄS MER
