    • ICAM1 expression is induced by proinflammatory cytokines and associated with TLS formation in aggressive breast cancer subtypes 

      Figenschau, Stine; Knutsen, Erik; Urbarova, Ilona; Fenton, Christopher Graham; Elston, Bryan; Perander, Maria; Mortensen, Elin Synnøve; Fenton, Kristin Andreassen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-06)
      Intratumoral formation of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) within the tumor microenvironment is considered to be a consequence of antigen challenge during anti-tumor responses. Intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) has been implicated in a variety of immune and inflammatory responses, in addition to associate with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). In this study, we detected TLS in the ...

    • Kidney tertiary lymphoid structures in Lupus Nephritis develop into large interconnected networks and resemble lymph nodes in gene signature 

      Dorraji, Seyed Esmaeil; Kanapathippillai, Premasany; Hovd, Aud-Malin Karlsson; Stenersrød, Mikael Ryan; Horvei, Kjersti Daae; Ursvik, anita; Figenschau, Stine; Thiyagarajan, Dhivya Borra; Fenton, Christopher Graham; Pedersen, Hege Lynum; Fenton, Kristin Andreassen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-16)
      Immune aggregates organized as tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are observed within the kidneys of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis (LN). Renal TLS was characterized in lupus-prone New Zealand black × New Zealand white F1 mice analyzing cell composition and vessel formation. RNA sequencing was performed on transcriptomes isolated from lymph nodes, macrodissected TLS ...

    • Mesenchymal stem cells and T cells in the formation of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in Lupus Nephritis 

      Dorraji, Seyed Esmaeil; Hovd, Aud-Malin Karlsson; Kanapathippillai, Premasany; Bakland, Gunnstein; Eilertsen, Gro Østli; Figenschau, Stine; Fenton, Kristin Andreassen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-18)
      Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) develop in the kidneys of lupus-prone mice and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with lupus nephritis (LN). Here we investigated the presence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the development of TLS in murine LN, as well as the role of human MSCs as lymphoid tissue organizer (LTo) cells on the activation of CD4+ T cells from three groups of donors ...

    • Nephronectin promotes breast cancer brain metastatic colonization via its integrin-binding domains 

      Norvoll Magnussen, Synnøve; Toraskar, Jimita Prashant; Wilhelm, Imola; Hasko, Janos; Figenschau, Stine; Molnar, Judit; Seppola, Marit; Steigen, Sonja Eriksson; Steigedal, Tonje S.; Hadler-Olsen, Elin Synnøve; Krizbai, Istvan; Svineng, Gunbjørg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-22)
      This study demonstrates a role for the extracellular matrix protein nephronectin (NPNT) in promoting experimental breast cancer brain metastasis, possibly through enhanced binding to- and migration through brain endothelial cells. With the introduction of more targeted breast cancer treatments, a prolonged survival has resulted during the last decade. Consequently, an increased number of patients ...
