16. Expression and regulation of Rad51 in human cells
Sammanfattning : Double strand breaks (DSBs) can be caused by exogenous DNA damaging agents or by endogenous processes, and may lead to chromosomal breakage and rearrangement resulting in apoptosis or tumorigenesis. The repair of DSBs in higher eukaryotes is to a large extent accomplished by homologous recombination (HR), a process in which DNA from a complementary strand is used as a template for repair synthesis.

17. Transcriptional Silencing in the Imprinted Igf2-H19 Loci: The Mystique of Epigenetics
Sammanfattning : Genomic imprinting marks a subset of autosomal loci expressed in parent of origin-dependent monoallelic expression in a non-Mendelian fashion. To restore totipotency and to reset the imprint according to the sex of the individual, the mark must be erased during germline development. LÄS MER
18. The mode of action of the radiosensitizing analogs metoclopramide and nicotinamide
Sammanfattning : This thesis provides the first attempt to study the nicotinamides and benzamides from a mode of action point of veiw. Understanding the effects on DNA repair, cell cycle control (proliferation) and cell death from these agents and in combination with ionizing radiation, provides a new opportunity to logically develop better approaches to sensitize already existing therapies via for example induction of apoptosis or inhibition of DNA repair.

19. Immunoregulation by mononuclear phagocytes. Mechanisms and clinical implications
Sammanfattning : The cytotoxic effector lymphocytes of the immune system, the natural killer (NK) cells and the CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTL), have been ascribed a pivotal role in defense against malignancy. However, the function of these cells is frequently compromised, in particular at sites of malignant cell expansion. LÄS MER
20. Molecular mechanisms and targets of new anticancer treatments
Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis is an effort to decipher and understand the mechanism of action (MOA) of anticancer agents by building on and complementing chemical proteomics methods. The backbone of the thesis relies on a recent method called Functional Identification of Target by Expression Proteomics (FITExP) developed in Zubarev lab, where drug induced proteomic signatures are analyzed in various cell lines and top differentially regulated proteins with consistent behavior are determined, among which the drug target and mechanistic proteins are usually present.
