• Alterations in the renal microenvironment during the development of lupus nephritis : longditudinal studies in a murine model of systemic lupus erythematosus 

      Tveita, Anders Aune (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2010-12-15)
      Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease that predominantly affects young women. Knowledge of the processes underlying the development of autoimmunity as well as end-organ disease manifestations is limited. One of the major contributors to morbidity and mortality in SLE patients is the development of nephritis. Using a murine model of SLE we have characterized ...
    • B cell receptor ligation induces display of V-region peptides on MHC class II molecules to T cells 

      Huszthy, Peter Csaba; Gopalakrishnan, Ramakrishna Prabhu; Jacobsen, Johanne Tracey; Haabeth, Ole Audun; Løset, Geir Åge; Braathen, Ranveig; Schenck, Karl; Tveita, Anders Aune; Munthe, Ludvig Andre; Bogen, Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-03)
      The B cell receptors (BCRs) for antigen express variable (V) regions that are enormously diverse, thus serving as markers on individual B cells. V region-derived idiotypic (Id) peptides can be displayed as pId:MHCII complexes on B cells for recognition by CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells. It is not known if naive B cells spontaneously display pId:MHCII in vivo or if BCR ligation is required for expression, ...

    • Glomerular matrix metalloproteinases and their regulators in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis 

      Tveita, Anders Aune; Rekvig, Ole Petter; Zykova, Svetlana N. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-12-01)
      Lupus nephritis is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus, but little is known about the pathogenic processes that underlie the progressive decay in renal function. A common finding in lupus nephritis is thickening of glomerular basement membranes associated with immune complex deposition. It has been speculated that alterations in the synthesis or ...

      Trøseid, Marius; Holter, Jan Cato; Holm, Kristian; Vestad, Beate; Sazonova, Taisiia; Granerud, Beathe Kiland; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Holten, Aleksander Rygh; Tonby, Kristian; Kildal, Anders Benjamin; Heggelund, Lars; Tveita, Anders Aune; Bøe, Simen; Müller, Karl Erik; Jenum, Synne; Hov, Johannes Espolin Roksund; Ueland, Thor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-23)
      Background - Gut microbiota alterations have been reported in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, with reduced alpha diversity and altered microbiota composition related to respiratory failure. However, data regarding gut microbiota and mortality are scarce.<p> <p>Methods - Rectal swabs for gut microbiota analyses were collected within 48 h after hospital admission (baseline; n = 123) and three-month ...

      Background. Immune dysregulation is a major factor in the development of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The homeostatic chemokines CCL19 and CCL21 have been implicated as mediators of tissue inflammation, but data on their regulation in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is limited. We thus investigated the levels of these chemokines in COVID-19 ...
    • Markers of cellular senescence is associated with persistent pulmonary pathology after COVID-19 infection 

      Lekva, Tove; Ueland, Thor; Halvorsen, Bente; Murphy, Sarah Louise Mikalsen; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Tveita, Anders Aune; Finbråten, Ane-Kristine; Mathiessen, Alexander; Muller, Karl Erik; Aaløkken, Trond Mogens; Skjønsberg, Ole Henning; Lerum, Tøri Vigeland; Aukrust, Pål; Dahl, Tuva Børresdatter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-19)
      Background: The lungs are the organ most likely to sustain serious injury from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the mechanisms for long-term complications are not clear. Patients with severe COVID-19 have shorter telomere lengths and higher levels of cellular senescence, and we hypothesized that circulating levels of the telomere-associated senescence markers chitotriosidase, ...
    • Mobile group I introns at nuclear rDNA position L2066 harbor sense and antisense homing endonuclease genes intervened by spliceosomal introns 

      Lian, Kjersti; Furulund, Betty Martine Normann; Tveita, Anders Aune; Haugen, Peik; Johansen, Steinar Daae (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-08)
      Background: Mobile group I introns encode homing endonucleases that confer intron mobility initiated by a double-strand break in the intron-lacking allele at the site of insertion. Nuclear ribosomal DNA of some fungi and protists contain mobile group I introns harboring His-Cys homing endonuclease genes (HEGs). An intriguing question is how protein-coding genes embedded in nuclear ribosomal DNA ...

    • Renal Dnase1 Enzyme Activity and Protein Expression Is Selectively Shut Down in Murine and Human Membranoproliferative Lupus Nephritis 

      Zykova, Svetlana N.; Tveita, Anders Aune; Rekvig, Ole Petter (Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-08-10)
      Background: Deposition of chromatin-IgG complexes within glomerular membranes is a key event in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis. We recently reported an acquired loss of renal Dnase1 expression linked to transformation from mild to severe membranoproliferative lupus nephritis in (NZBxNZW)F1 mice. As this may represent a basic mechanism in the progression of lupus nephritis, several aspects of ...
