      Introduction: Mesenchymal stem cells, also called mesenchymal stromal cells, MSCs, have great potential in stem cell therapy partly due to their immunosuppressive properties. How these cells respond to chronic inflammatory ...

    • Chemerin is elevated in multiple myeloma patients and is expressed by stromal cells and pre-adipocytes 

      Westhrin, Marita; Moen, Siv Helen; Kristensen, Ida Bruun; Buene, Glenn; Mylin, Anne Kærsgaard; Turesson, Ingemar; Abildgaard, Niels; Waage, Anders; Standal, Therese (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Chemerin is a recently discovered adipokine shown to be involved in both inflammatory and metabolic processes. Here, we demonstrate that chemerin serum levels are elevated in patients with multiple myeloma and that it ...

    • Conversion of ATP to adenosine by CD39 and CD73 in multiple myeloma can be successfully targeted together with adenosine receptor A2A blockade 

      Yang, Rui; Elsaadi, Samah; Misund, Kristine; Abdollahi, Pegah; Vandsemb, Esten; Moen, Siv Helen; Kusnierczyk, Anna; Slupphaug, Geir; Standal, Therese; Waage, Anders; Slørdahl, Tobias Schmidt; Rø, Torstein Baade; Rustad, Even Holth; Sundan, Anders; Hay, Carl; Cooper, Zachary; Schuller, Alwin G.; Woessner, Richard; Borodowski, Alexandra; Menu, Eline; Børset, Magne; Sponaas, Anne-Marit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background PD1/PDL1-directed therapies have been unsuccessful for multiple myeloma (MM), an incurable cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM). Therefore, other immune checkpoints such as extracellular adenosine and ...

    • Human Toll-like Receptor 8 (TLR8) Is an Important Sensor of Pyogenic Bacteria, and Is Attenuated by Cell Surface TLR Signaling 

      Moen, Siv Helen; Ehrnström, Birgitta; Kojen, June Frengen; Yurchenko, Mariya; Beckwith, Kai Sandvold; Afset, Jan Egil; Damås, Jan Kristian; Zhenyi, Hu; Hang, Yin; Espevik, Terje; Stenvik, Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      TLR8 is an endosomal sensor of RNA degradation products in human phagocytes, and is involved in the recognition of viral and bacterial pathogens. We previously showed that in human primary monocytes and monocyte derived ...

    • Hypoxia promotes IL-32 expression in myeloma cells, and high expression is associated with poor survival and bone loss 

      Zahoor, Muhammad; Westhrin, Marita; Aass, Kristin Roseth; Moen, Siv Helen; Misund, Kristine; Psonka-Antonczyk, Katarzyna Maria; Giliberto, Mariaserena; Buene, Glenn; Sundan, Anders; Waage, Anders; Sponaas, Anne-Marit; Standal, Therese (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic cancer characterized by expansion of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. Most patients develop an osteolytic bone disease, largely caused by increased osteoclastogenesis. The ...

    • IL-32 and multiple myeloma bone disease 

      Aass, Kristin Roseth (Master thesis, 2016)
      Multiple myeloma is a malignancy of plasma cells characterized by multiple tumors in the bone marrow and progressive osteolytic bone disease. The bone lesions are caused by increased bone resorption by osteoclasts and ...

    • Influence of Inflammation and Cancer on Mesenchymal Stem Cell Function 

      Moen, Siv Helen (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2014:46, Doctoral thesis, 2014)

    • Modification of glycosyltransferases in multiple myeloma 

      Johansen, Victoria (Master thesis, 2021)
      Myelomatose, også kjent som beinmargskreft, er en kreftsykdom som kjennetegnes av ukontrollert vekst av plasmaceller i beinmargen. Nesten alle myelomatosepasienter utvikler en beinsykdom som følge av kreftsykdommen, og ...

    • The proportion of CD16+CD14dim monocytes increases with tumor cell load in bone marrow of patients with multiple myeloma
