    • Nephronectin as a matrix effector in cancer 

      Norvoll Magnussen, Synnøve; Toraskar, Jimita Prashant; Hadler-Olsen, Elin Synnøve; Steigedal, Tonje S.; Svineng, Gunbjørg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-25)
      The extracellular matrix protein nephronectin plays an important regulatory role during embryonic development, controlling renal organogenesis through integrin α8β1 association. Nephronectin has three main domains: five N-terminal epidermal growth factor-like domains, a linker region harbouring two integrin-binding motifs (RGD and LFEIFEIER), and a C-terminal MAM domain. In this review, we look into ...

    • Nephronectin mediates p38 MAPK‐induced cell viability via its integrin binding enhancer motif 

      Toraskar, Jimita Prashant; Magnussen, Synnøve; Chawla, Konika; Svineng, Gunbjørg; Steigedal, Tonje S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-30)
      Nephronectin (NPNT) is an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein involved in kidney development. We recently reported intracellular NPNT as a potential prognostic marker in breast cancer and that NPNT promotes metastasis in an integrin‐dependent manner. Here, we used reverse‐phase protein array (RPPA) to analyze NPNT‐triggered intracellular signaling in the 66cl4 mouse breast cancer cell line. The results ...

    • 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 ...

    • A Novel Truncated Form of Nephronectin Is Present in Small Extracellular Vesicles Isolated from 66cl4 Cells 

      Toraskar, Jimita Prashant; Norvoll Magnussen, Synnøve; Hagen, Lars; Sharma, Animesh; Hoang, Linh; Bjørkøy, Geir; Svineng, Gunbjørg; Steigedal, Tonje S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-01)
      Extracellular vesicles are emerging as biomarkers in breast cancer. Our recent report suggested that an intracellular granular staining pattern of the extracellular matrix protein nephronectin (NPNT) in breast tumor sections correlated with a poor prognosis. Furthermore, the results showed that NPNT is localized in extracellular vesicles derived from mouse breast cancer cells. In this study, we ...
