      Bokil, Ansooya Avinash; Børkja, Mathieu; Wolowczyk, Camilla Izabel; Lamsal, Apsana; Prestvik, Wenche S.; Nonstad, Unni; Pettersen, Kristine; Andersen, Sonja Benedikte; Bofin, Anna M.; Bjørkøy, Geir; Hak, Sjoerd; Giambelluca, Miriam Soledad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-18)
      Background: Myeloid cells play an essential role in cancer metastasis. The phenotypic diversity of these cells during cancer development has attracted great interest; however, their functional heterogeneity and plasticity have limited their role as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. <p><p>Methods: To identify markers associated with myeloid cells in metastatic tumours, we compared transcriptomic ...

    • S100A8 gene copy number and protein expression in breast cancer: associations with proliferation, histopathological grade and molecular subtypes 

      Børkja, Mathieu; Giambelluca, Miriam Soledad; Ytterhus, Borgny; Prestvik, Wenche Slettahjell; Bjørkøy, Geir; Bofin, Anna M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-14)
      Background and aims Amplification of S100A8 occurs in 10–30% of all breast cancers and has been linked to poorer prognosis. Similarly, the protein S100A8 is overexpressed in a roughly comparable proportion of breast cancers and is also found in infiltrating myeloid-lineage cells, again linked to poorer prognosis. We explore the relationship between these findings.<p> <p>Methods We examined S100A8 ...
