1. 1. Macrophage Activation and AP-1 in Atherosclerosis

   Författare :Maria Stollenwerk; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi; Cardiovascular system; carotid plaque; interleukin-1b; caspase-1.; very low-density lipoprotein; fatty acids; activator protein-1; inflammation; Atherosclerosis; nuclear factor-kB; macrophages; tumor necrosis factor;

   Sammanfattning : High levels of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) have been identified as independent risk factors for coronary heart disease. Hypertriglyceridemia is generally associated with an increased expression of inflammatory makers and inflammation is thought to contribute to atherosclerosis and its complications. LÄS MER

3. 2. Assessing carotid plaque structure

   Författare :Isabel Goncalves; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Modified LDL; Antibodies; Lipids; AP-1; Cellularity; Extracellular Matrix; Calcification; Elastin; Stroke; Gray-Scale Median; Echogenicity; Ultrasound; Atherosclerosis; Carotid Plaque;

   Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death and disability in the western world. Its clinical complications include acute myocardial infarction, sudden death and stroke. Thirty to 40 % of all ischemic strokes are caused by a carotid stenosis. LÄS MER

4. 3. The ups and downs of T cells The role of costimulatory molecules in the modulation of T cell responses

   Författare :Christina Olsson; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunologi; transplantation; serology; CD28; costimulation; CD152; IL-2; NF-kB; AP-1; superantigen; Immunology; T cell; serologi;

   Sammanfattning : T cell activation requires the combination of antigen in the context of MHC and costimulatory molecules to induce a functional immune response. For our studies, we primarily utilized superantigens (SAg) that bind MHC class II molecules as first signal. LÄS MER

5. 4. Effects of ethanol on the expression of immediate-early genes in nerve cells

   Författare :Wei-Qun Ding; Institutionen för laboratoriemedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuroadaptation; the central nervous system; AP-1; junD; junB; c-jun; fosB; c-fos; neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y; ethanol; immediate-early genes; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Immediate-early genes of the fos and jun families encode proteins that dimerize to form a complex of activator protein 1 and regulate the expression of a number of genes in the nervous system. Ethanol has previously been shown to induce alterations in expression of fos and jun genes in the brain. LÄS MER

7. 5. Glucocorticoid receptor cross-talk with NF-kappaB and AP-1 : functional role and mechanisms

   Författare :Lars-Göran Bladh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Glucocorticoid receptor; glucocorticoids; cross-talk; NF-kappaB; AP-1; cell cycle; cell proliferation;

   Sammanfattning : The protein investigated in this thesis is the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which is a ligand activated transcription factor that belongs to the superfamily of nuclear hormone receptors. The GR contains three functional independent domains, the N-terminal domain containing a major transactivation region, the central DNA binding domain (DBD) and the C-terminal domain that binds the hormone/ligand.
