    • Basal‐like breast cancer engages tumor‐supportive macrophages via secreted factors induced by extracellular S100A4 

      Prasmickaite, Lina; Tenstad, Ellen; Pettersen, Solveig; Jabeen, Shakila; Egeland, Eivind Valen; Nord, Silje; Pandya, Abhilash D.; Haugen, Mads Haugland; Kristensen, Vessela N.; Børresen-Dale, Anne-Lise; Engebråten, Olav; Mælandsmo, Gunhild Mari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-09)
      The tumor microenvironment (TME) may influence both cancer progression and therapeutic response. In breast cancer, particularly in the aggressive triple‐negative/basal‐like subgroup, patient outcome is strongly associated with the tumor's inflammatory profile. Tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) are among the most abundant immune cells in the TME, shown to be linked to poor prognosis and therapeutic ...

    • Biodistribution of Poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) Nanoparticles in Mice and Effect on Tumor Infiltration of Macrophages into a Patient-Derived Breast Cancer Xenograft 

      Pandya, Abhilash D.; Iversen, Tore Geir; Moestue, Siver Andreas; Grinde, Maria Tunset; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Snipstad, Sofie; Åslund, Andreas; Øy, Geir Frode; Kildal, Wanja; Engebråten, Olav; Sandvig, Kirsten; Skotland, Tore; Mælandsmo, Gunhild Mari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-28)
      We have investigated the biodistribution and tumor macrophage infiltration after intravenous injection of the poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles (NPs): PEBCA (poly(2-ethyl-butyl cyanoacrylate), PBCA (poly(n-butyl cyanoacrylate), and POCA (poly(octyl cyanoacrylate), in mice. These NPs are structurally similar, have similar PEGylation, and have previously been shown to give large variations in ...

    • Cabazitaxel-loaded Poly(2-ethylbutyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles improve treatment efficacy in a patient derived breast cancer xenograft 

      Fusser, Markus; Øverbye, Anders; Pandya, Abhilash D.; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Borgos, Sven Even F.; Kildal, Wanja; Snipstad, Sofie; Sulheim, Einar; Fleten, Karianne Giller; Askautrud, Hanne Arenberg; Engebraaten, Olav; Flatmark, Kjersti; Iversen, Tore Geir; Sandvig, Kirsten; Skotland, Tore; Mælandsmo, Gunhild Mari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-04)
      The effect of poly(2-ethyl-butyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles containing the cytotoxic drug cabazitaxel was studied in three breast cancer cell lines and one basal-like patient-derived xenograft model grown in the mammary fat pad of immunodeficient mice. Nanoparticle-encapsulated cabazitaxel had a much better efficacy than similar concentrations of free drug in the basal-like patient-derived xenograft ...

    • Drug-Loaded Photosensitizer-Chitosan Nanoparticles for Combinatorial Chemo- and Photodynamic-Therapy of Cancer 

      Pandya, Abhilash D.; Øverbye, Anders; Sahariah, Priyanka; Gaware, Vivek S.; Høgset, Håkon; Masson, Már; Høgset, Anders; Mælandsmo, Gunhild Mari; Skotland, Tore; Sandvig, Kirsten; Iversen, Tore Geir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-24)
      In this study we have developed biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) containing the cytostatic drugs mertansine (MRT) or cabazitaxel (CBZ). The NPs are based on chitosan (CS) conjugate polymers synthesized with different amounts of the photosensitizer tetraphenylchlorin (TPC). These TPC–CS NPs have high loading capacity and strong drug retention due to π–π stacking interactions between the ...

    • Liver X receptors induce antiproliferative effects in basal-like breast cancer 

      Haugen, Mads; von der Lippe Gythfeldt, Hedda; Egeland, Eivind Valen; Svartdal Normann, Lisa; Pandya, Abhilash D.; Vedin, Lise-Lotte; Juell, Siri; Tenstad, Ellen; Øy, Geir Frode; Kristian, Alexandr; Marangoni, Elisabetta; Sørlie, Therese; Steffensen, Knut Rune; Mælandsmo, Gunhild Mari; Engebråten, Olav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-21)
      Liver X receptors (LXRs) are nuclear transcription factors important in the regulation of cholesterol transport, and glucose and fatty acid metabolism. The antiproliferative role of LXRs has been studied in a variety of malignancies and may represent a therapeutic opportunity in cancers lacking targeted therapies, such as triple-negative breast cancer. In this study, we investigated the impact of ...

    • Paclitaxel-loaded biodegradable ROS-sensitive nanoparticles for cancer therapy 

      Pandya, Abhilash D.; Jäger, Eliézer; Fam, Shahla Bagheri; Höcherl, Anita; Jäger, Alessandro; Sincari, Vladimir; Nyström, Bo; Štěpánek, Petr; Skotland, Tore; Sandvig, Kirsten; Hrubý, Martin; Mælandsmo, Gunhild M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-06)
      <i>Background</i>: Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide, trigger biodegradation of polymer-based nanoparticles (NPs) bearing pinacol-type boronic ester groups. These NPs may selectively release their cargo, in this case paclitaxel (PTX), at the high levels of ROS present in the intracellular environment of inflamed tissues and most tumors.<p> <p><i>Purpose</i>: ...
