  1. 6. Regulation of apoptosis in human multiple myeloma

    Författare :Helena Spets; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; apoptosis; multiple myeloma; IL-6; Bcl-2; Fas; dexamethasone; IGF-I; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Pathology; patologi;

    Sammanfattning : Multiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal expansion of malignant plasmablasts-plasma cells in the bone marrow. MM is slowly proliferating and an increased resistance to apoptosis may be crucial for the tumor progression. LÄS MER

  2. 7. Mechanisms of Sensitization to Apoptosis in Multiple Myeloma

    Författare :Anna Hammarberg; Helena Jernberg Wiklund; Kenneth Nilsson; Federico Caligaris-Cappio; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Pathology; multiple myeloma; apoptosis; IGF-1; mTOR; IAP; GSK3; rapamycin; PPP; dexamethasone; CT99021; Patologi;

    Sammanfattning : Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological tumor of plasma blast/plasma cell origin heterogeneous with respect to the morphological differentiation stage of the tumor cells, genetic alterations and course of disease. A challenge in MM research is to overcome resistance to therapy, which inevitably arises. LÄS MER

  3. 8. Epigenetic gene regulation in multiple myeloma and mood disorders

    Författare :Antonia Kalushkova; Fredrik Öberg; Helena Jernberg-Wiklund; Lucia Cavelier; Anthony Wright; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; IKKα; retinoic acid receptor; multiple myeloma; Polycomb; Ouabain; mood disorders;

    Sammanfattning : Epigenetics continues to be redefined and new discoveries are likely to revolutionise the field still further. This thesis explores different aspects of how epigenetic regulation of gene expression contributes to human disease. LÄS MER

  4. 9. Targeted Inhibition of Polycomb Repressive Complexes in Multiple Myeloma : Implications for Biology and Therapy

    Författare :Mohammad Alzrigat; Helena Jernberg-Wiklund; Fredrik Öberg; Kristina Drott; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Multiple Myeloma; Epigenetics; Polycomb; PRC2; PRC1; EZH2; BMI-1; UNC1999; PTC-209; Epigenetic Therapy; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy of antibody producing plasmablasts/plasma cells. MM is characterized by extensive genetic and clonal heterogeneity, which have hampered the attempts to identify a common underlying mechanism for disease establishment and development of appropriate treatment regimes.

  5. 10. Targeting molecular mechanisms for epigenetic silencing in multiple myeloma : Implications for biology and precision medicine

    Författare :Patrick Nylund; Helena Jernberg Wiklund; Antonia Kalushkova Nair; Fredrik Öberg; Toril Holien; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Multiple myeloma; epigenetics; PRC2; lncRNA; metabolomics; miRNA.;

    Sammanfattning : Multiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogeneous haematological cancer where malignant plasma cells clonally expand within the bone marrow. The transcriptional repressor PRC2 and its catalytic subunit EZH2 play a major role in MM, as PRC2 re-targeting results in a MM-specific gene silencing profile. LÄS MER
