21. Genetics, epigenetics and functional mechanisms in inherited corneal and retinal dystrophies
Sammanfattning : Inherited eye disorders (IED) are groups of genetically and clinically heterogenous conditions affecting different tissues in the eye. IED are most often progressive with reduced vision or legal blindness as outcome. LÄS MER
22. Alternative splicing of interleukin-7
Sammanfattning : Alternative splicing of pre-mRNA is the primary source of creating proteome diversity in humans; it is therefore highly relevant to disease and therapy. Alternative splicing has been described for many cytokines and these splice variants appear to function as either agonists or as antagonists of the wildtype cytokine. LÄS MER
23. Chondrocyte-matrix interactions: with emphasis on the collagen binding integrin a10ß1
Sammanfattning : The work in this thesis has been focused on chondrocyte integrins and their interaction with the matrix proteins chondroadherin (CHAD) and collagen type II (CII). Affinity purification of CHAD-binding proteins from chondrocyte lysate, followed by immunoprecipitation of EDTA-eluted material identified alpha2beta1 as a CHAD-binding integrin. LÄS MER
24. Muscle cell integrins in vitro and in vivo : Identification and characterisation of a novel integrin, α11β1
Sammanfattning : Integrins are heterodimeric receptors composed of non-covalently associated αand β subunits which have distinct functions on different cell types. α7β1integrin is an important laminin receptor in skeletal muscle. The mRNA andprotein expression patterns of α7A and α7B splice variants during mousedevelopment were studied. LÄS MER
25. Studies on the structure, function and expression of phospholipase A2
Sammanfattning : Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes are widely distributed and the enzymes possess different functions such as a role in digestion and inflammation. PLA2 catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 acylester bond of phospholipids, yielding a free fatty acid and a lysophospholipid. LÄS MER
