  1. 1. The proteasome as a target for cancer therapy

    Författare :Peter Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; Cell viability assay; Chemotherapy; Drug repurposing; Genomic and transcriptomic signatures; Prognostic biomarkers; Proteasome; Proteasome genes; Proteasome inhibitors; Drug sensitivity biomarkers; Synergistic effect; Triple-negative breast cancer;

    Sammanfattning : The main objective of this PhD thesis was to evaluate the significance of proteasome genes as prognostic markers for different cancer types and identify specific cancer forms that respond to proteasome inhibition. The proteasome (PSM) plays an important role in maintaining cellular proteostasis and degrades the majority of proteins that require breakdown in the cell. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The p97 ATPase and the Drosophila Proteasome : Protein Unfolding and Regulation

    Författare :Kristian Björk Grimberg; Patrick Young; Neus Visa; Lars Thelander; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; proteasome; ubiquitin; p97; unfolding; regulation; RNAi screen; high-throughput screen; cnc; basic leucine zipper; transcription factors; proteasome inhibition; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : For all living systems, there is a requirement to recycle and regulate proteins. In eukaryotic organisms this is accomplished by the proteasome. The p97 ATPase is another highly conserved and essential complex present throughout the eukaryotic cell. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Path to Destruction : Understanding the mechanism and regulation of proteasomal degradation

    Författare :Anne Beskow; Patrick Young; Ylva Engström; Bernat Crosas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Proteasome; ubiquitin; p97; Cnc-C; transcription factors; Nrf1; Nrf2; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : A majority of intracellular proteins are degraded by the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). In this thesis, both the mechanism of the degradation and the regulation of UPS have been investigated. The importance of the p97 ATPase for proteasomal degradation of cytosolic substrates was examined. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Potential New Drugs in Lymphoma

    Författare :Maryam Delforoush; Gunilla Enblad; Mattias Berglund; Christina Drott; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lymphoma; diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; DLBCL; picropodophyllin; PPP; J1; melflufen; prodrug; cancer therapeutics; alkylating agents; b-AP15; proteasome inhibitors; DUB inhibition; UCHL5; USP14;

    Sammanfattning : Lymphomas are malignant tumours arising from cells in the lymphatic system. They are classified as B-cell lymphomas, T-cell lymphomas and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Of the B-cell lymphomas, one of the most common is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Congenital muscular dystrophy with laminin α2 chain-deficiency. Initiation of disease and development of treatment

    Författare :Zandra Körner; Muskelbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; muskeldystrofi; Muscular dystrophy; Autophagy; proteasome; Laminin; MDC1A;

    Sammanfattning : Congenital muscle dystrophy type 1A (MDC1A) is a muscle disease caused bymutations in the LAMA2 gene, encoding the basement membrane protein lamininα2 chain. MDC1A patients exhibit neonatal onset of muscle weakness, progressivemuscle wasting and hypotonia, joint contractures that mostly affect elbows, hips,knees and ankles along with scoliosis and delayed motor milestones.
