Anti-Cancer Potential of Homemade Fresh Garlic Extract Is Related to Increased Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
Petrovic, Voin; Nepal, Anala; Olaisen, Camilla; Bachke, Siri; Hira, Jonathan; Søgaard, Caroline Krogh; Røst, Lisa Marie; Misund, Kristine; Andreassen, Trygve; Melø, Torun Margareta; Bartosova, Zdenka; Bruheim, Per; Otterlei, Marit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The use of garlic and garlic-based extracts has been linked to decreased incidence of cancer in epidemiological studies. Here we examine the molecular and cellular activities of a simple homemade ethanol-based garlic extract ... -
Antimicrobial peptides targeting the beta-clamp

APIM-Mediated REV3L-PCNA Interaction Important for Error Free TLS Over UV-Induced DNA Lesions in Human Cells
Ræder, Synnøve Brandt; Nepal, Anala; Bjørås, Karine; Seelinger, Mareike; Kolve, Rønnaug Steen; Nedal, Aina; Müller, Rebekka; Otterlei, Marit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is essential for the organization of DNA replication and the bypass of DNA lesions via translesion synthesis (TLS). TLS is mediated by specialized DNA polymerases, which all interact, ... -
APIM-peptide targeting PCNA improves the efficacy of docetaxel treatment in the TRAMP mouse model of prostate cancer
Søgaard, Caroline Danielsen; Moestue, Siver Andreas; Rye, Morten Beck; Kim, Jana; Nepal, Anala; Liabakk, Nina-Beate; Bachke, Siri; Bathen, Tone Frost; Otterlei, Marit; Hill, Deborah Katherine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Docetaxel is the chemotherapeutic choice for metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer, however, it only marginally improves the survival rate. The purpose of the present study was to examine if a peptide ... -
Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Peptide Kills Extracellular and Intracellular Bacteria Without Affecting Epithelialization
Nepal, Anala; Ræder, Synnøve Brandt; Søgaard, Caroline Krogh; Haugan, Maria Schei; Otterlei, Marit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)New antibacterial drugs with novel modes of action are urgently needed as antibiotic resistance in bacteria is increasing and spreading throughout the world. In this study, we aimed to explore the possibility of using ... -
Changes in cellular signaling proteins in extracts from A549, H460, and U2OS cells treated with cisplatin or docetaxel
Petrovic, Voin; Olaisen, Camilla; Sharma, Animesh; Nepal, Anala; Bugge, Steffen; Sundby, Eirik; Hoff, Bård Helge; Slupphaug, Geir; Otterlei, Marit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Cell extracts from A549, H460, and U2OS human cancer cell lines treated with cisplatin and docetaxel were analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) proteomic analysis. The extracts were enriched for cellular signaling proteins ... -
Novel Peptides Targeting the β-Clamp Rapidly Kill Planktonic and Biofilm Staphylococcus epidermidis Both in vitro and in vivo
Ræder, Synnøve Brandt; Sandbakken, Erik Thorvaldsen; Nepal, Anala; Løseth, Kirsti; Bergh, Kåre; Witsø, Eivind; Otterlei, Marit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing threat to global health and challenges the way we treat infections. Peptides containing the PCNA interacting motif APIM (APIM-peptides) were recently shown to bind to the bacterial ... -
Targeting the non-canonical roles of PCNA modifies and increases the response to targeted anti-cancer therapy
Søgaard, Caroline Krogh; Nepal, Anala; Petrovic, Voin; Sharma, Animesh; Liabakk, Nina-Beate; Steigedal, Tonje S.; Otterlei, Marit (Journal article, 2019)Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), such as HER2 and/or EGFR are important therapeutic targets in multiple cancer cells. Low and/or short response to targeted therapies are often due to activation of compensatory signaling ... -
"Two hits - one stone" increased efficacy of cisplatin-based therapies by targeting PCNA's role in both DNA repair and cellular signaling
Søgaard, Caroline Krogh; Blindheim, Augun; Røst, Lisa Marie; Petrovic, Voin; Nepal, Anala; Bachke, Siri; Liabakk, Nina-Beate; Gederaas, Odrun Arna; Viset, Trond; Arum, Carl-Jørgen; Bruheim, Per; Otterlei, Marit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Low response rate and rapid development of resistance against commonly used chemotherapeutic regimes demand new multi-targeting anti-cancer strategies. In this study, we target the stress-related roles of the scaffold ...
