  1. 1. Investigations of Proneural Glioblastoma to Identify Novel Therapeutic Targets

    Författare :Maria Boije; Lene Uhrbom; Bengt Westermark; Rolf Bjerkvig; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Glioma; proneural subtype; hallmarks; glioma initiating cells; S-SOX5; angiogenesis; stromal cells; Tumour biology; Tumörbiologi; Experimentell patologi; Experimental Pathology;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant glioma is a highly lethal and destructive disease with no proper cure. We have investigated some of the hallmarks of cancer in connection to glioma and found ways to disrupt these and prevent tumor growth. The work is done within the context of a glioma subtype distinguished by activation of PDGF signaling termed the proneural subtype. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Interplay Between Cell of Origin and Oncogenic Activation in Glioma

    Författare :Yiwen Jiang; Lene Uhrbom; Anders Persson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glioma; PDGF; cell of origin; Sox5; glioma initiating cells; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Glioma is the most frequent primary tumor of the central nervous system. By using the RCAS/tv-a mouse glioma model, we have studied mechanisms controlling glioma development and the effect of cell of origin on these processes.SOX5 was identified as a brain tumor locus in a retroviral insertional mutagenesis screen of PDGF-B induced mouse gliomas.

  4. 3. Stem and progenitor cells in brain ad breast malignancies

    Författare :Gabriella Honeth; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neural progenitor cells; glioma; migration; chemokines; cancer stem cells; breast cancer; CD44; CD24;

    Sammanfattning : Stem cells have qualities that clearly distinguish them from all other cells. Capabilities like self-renewal, differentiation and migration make them truly powerful. This thesis deals with different aspects of stem/progenitor cells in relation to cancer. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Identification of compounds that target glioma initiating cells

    Författare :Shimei Wee; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Glioblastoma multiforme is a common form of brain tumor that leads to debilitating effects despite the current regiment of treatment, which includes surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. With the discovery of glioma-initiating cells (GICs) that exists within the bulk tumor, some light has been shed on this disease. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Synergistic effects of mesenchymal stromal cells and immunotherapy in experimental brain tumors

    Författare :Salina Gunnarsson; Neurokirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mesenchymal stromal cells; rat; IFNγ; IL-7; immunotherapy; glioma;

    Sammanfattning : Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive form of primary brain tumor. In spite of surgical resection, combined radiation therapy and chemotherapy, the mean survival is less than 15 months following diagnosis. LÄS MER
