• Changes of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine distribution during myeloid and lymphoid differentiation of CD34+ cells 

      Tekpli, Xavier; Urbanucci, Alfonso; Hashim, Adnan; Vågbø, Cathrine Broberg; Lyle, Robert; Kringen, Marianne K.; Staff, Anne Cathrine; Dybedal, Ingunn; Mills, Ian Geoffrey; Klungland, Arne; Staerk, Judith (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Background Hematopoietic stem cell renewal and differentiation are regulated through epigenetic processes. The conversion of 5-methylcytosine into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) by ten-eleven-translocation enzymes provides ...
    • Inhibition of O-GlcNAc transferase activates tumor-suppressor gene expression in tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cells 

      Barkovskaya, Anna; Seip, Kotryna; Prasmickaite, Lina; Mills, Ian Geoffrey; Moestue, Siver Andreas; Itkonen, Harri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In this study, we probed the importance of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) activity for the survival of tamoxifen-sensitive (TamS) and tamoxifen-resistant (TamR) breast cancer cells. Tamoxifen is an antagonist of estrogen ...
    • Inhibition of O-GlcNAc transferase activity reprograms prostate cancer cell metabolism 

      Itkonen, Harri; Gorad, Saurabh Sayajirao; Duveau, Damien Y.; Martin, Sara E.S.; Barkovskaya, Anna; Bathen, Tone Frost; Moestue, Siver Andreas; Mills, Ian Geoffrey (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Metabolic networks are highly connected and complex, but a single enzyme, O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) can sense the availability of metabolites and also modify target proteins. We show that inhibition of OGT activity inhibits ...
