• BMP signaling in the intestinal epithelium drives a critical feedback loop to restrain IL-13-driven tuft cell hyperplasia 

      Lindholm, Håvard Takle; Parmar, Naveen; Drurey, Claire; Poveda, Marta Campillo; Vornewald, Pia; Ostrop, Jenny; Sanchez, Alberto Diez; Maizels M, Rick; Oudhoff, Menno (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Intestinal parasite infections or allergic reactions promote IL-13–induced differentiation of tuft cells as one manifestation of type 2 immunity in the gut. Using organoid cultures of intestinal epithelial cells, Lindholm ...
    • Contact, Collaboration, Conflict: Signal Integration of Syk-coupled C-type Lectin Receptors 

      Ostrop, Jenny; Roland, Lang (Journal article, 2017)
      Several spleen tyrosine kinase–coupled C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) have emerged as important pattern recognition receptors for infectious danger. Because encounter with microbial pathogens leads to the simultaneous ...
    • Decidual and placental NOD1 is associated with inflammation in normal and preeclamptic pregnancies 

      Rakner, Johanne Johnsen; Silva, Gabriela; Mundal, Siv Boon; Thaning, Astrid Josefin; Elschot, Mattijs; Ostrop, Jenny; Thomsen, Liv Cecilie Vestrheim; Bjørge, Line; Gierman, Lobke; Iversen, Ann-Charlotte (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Introduction: Inflammation is a normal physiological process that increases to harmful levels in preeclampsia. It affects the interaction between maternal immune cells and fetal trophoblasts at both sites of the maternal-fetal ...
    • Divergent Regulation of Decidual Oxidative-Stress Response by NRF2 and KEAP1 in Preeclampsia with and without Fetal Growth Restriction 

      Mundal, Siv Boon; Rakner, Johanne Johnsen; Silva, Gabriela; Gierman, Lobke; Austdal, Marie; Basnet, Purusotam; Elschot, Mattijs; Bakke, Siril Skaret; Ostrop, Jenny; Thomsen, Liv Cecilie Vestrheim; Moses, Eric; Acharya, Ganesh; Bjørge, Line; Iversen, Ann-Charlotte (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Utero-placental development in pregnancy depends on direct maternal–fetal interaction in the uterine wall decidua. Abnormal uterine vascular remodeling preceding placental oxidative stress and placental dysfunction are ...
    • LSD1 represses a neonatal/reparative gene program in adult intestinal epithelium 

      Zwiggelaar, Rosalie; Lindholm, Håvard Takle; Fosslie, Madeleine Lystad; Pedersen, Marianne Terndrup; Ohta, Yuki; Díez-Sánchez, Alberto; Martín-Alonso, Mara; Ostrop, Jenny; Matono, Mami; Parmar, Naveen; Kvaløy, Emilie; Spanjers, Roos; Nazmi, Kamran; Rye, Morten Beck; Drabløs, Finn; Arrowsmith, Cheryl H; Dahl, John Arne; Jensen, Kim B.; Sato, Toshiro; Oudhoff, Menno (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Intestinal epithelial homeostasis is maintained by adult intestinal stem cells, which, alongside Paneth cells, appear after birth in the neonatal period. We aimed to identify regulators of neonatal intestinal epithelial ...
    • Patient derived colonoids as drug testing platforms-Critical importance of oxygen concentration 

      Skovdahl, Helene Kolstad; Gopalakrishnan, Shreya; Svendsen, Tarjei Dahl; Granlund, Atle van Beelen; Bakke, Ingunn; Ginbot, Zekarias; Thorsvik, Silje; Flatberg, Arnar; Sporsheim, Bjørnar; Ostrop, Jenny; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Sandvik, Arne Kristian; Bruland, Torunn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is challenging, with a series of available drugs each helping only a fraction of patients. Patients may face time-consuming drug trials while the disease is active, thus there ...
    • Stat6-dependent inhibition of mincle expression in mouse and human antigen-presenting cells by the Th2 cytokine IL-4 

      Hupfer, Thomas; Schick, Judith; Jozefowski, Katrin; Voehringer, David; Ostrop, Jenny; Lang, Roland (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) Mincle, Mcl, and Dectin-2 bind mycobacterial and fungal cell wall glycolipids and carbohydrates. Recently, we described that expression of these CLR is downregulated during differentiation ...
