• Cell-Type-Specific Transcription of Innate Immune Regulators in response to HMPV Infection 

      Loevenich, Simon; Malmo, Jostein; Liberg, Ann Magritt; Sherstova, Tatyana; Li, Youxian; Rian, Kristin; Johnsen, Ingvild Bjellmo; Anthonsen, Marit Walbye (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) may cause severe respiratory disease. The early innate immune response to viruses like HMPV is characterized by induction of antiviral interferons (IFNs) and proinflammatory immune mediators ...
    • Human Metapneumovirus Induces IRF1 via TANK-Binding Kinase 1 and Type I IFN 

      Loevenich, Simon; Spahn, Alix Saskia; Rian, Kristin; Boyartchuk, Victor; Anthonsen, Marit Walbye (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The innate immune and host-protective responses to viruses, such as the airway pathogen human metapneumovirus (HMPV), depend on interferons (IFNs) that is induced through TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and IFN regulatory ...
    • Increased p53 signaling impairs neural differentiation in HUWE1-promoted intellectual disabilities 

      Aprigliano, Rossana; Aksu, Merdane Ezgi; Bradamante, Stefano; Mihaljevic, Boris; Wang, Wei; Rian, Kristin; Montaldo, Nicola Pietro; Grooms, Kayla; Martin, Sarah; Bordin, Diana Lilian; Bosshard, Matthias; Peng, Yunhui; Alexov, Emil; Skinner, Cindy; Liabakk, Nina-Beate; Sullivan, Gareth; Bjørås, Magnar; Schwartz, Charles; van Loon, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Essential E3 ubiquitin ligase HUWE1 (HECT, UBA, and WWE domain containing 1) regulates key factors, such as p53. Although mutations in HUWE1 cause heterogenous neurodevelopmental X-linked intellectual disabilities (XLIDs), ...
    • Loss of Mediator complex subunit 13 (MED13) promotes resistance to alkylation through cyclin D1 upregulation 

      Rolinski, Milosz; Montaldo, Nicola Pietro; Aksu, Merdane Ezgi; Martin, Sarah Fordyce; Brambilla, Alessandro; Kunath, Nicolas; Johansen, Jostein; Erlandsen, Sten Even; Liabakk, Nina-Beate; Rian, Kristin; Bjørås, Magnar; Sætrom, Pål; van Loon, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Alkylating drugs are among the most often used chemotherapeutics. While cancer cells frequently develop resistance to alkylation treatments, detailed understanding of mechanisms that lead to the resistance is limited. Here, ...
    • Toll-like receptor profiling of seven trophoblast cell lines warrants caution for translation to primary trophoblasts 

      Gierman, Lobke; Stødle, Guro; Tangerås, Line Haugstad; Austdal, Marie; Olsen, Guro Dalheim; Follestad, Turid; Skei, Bente; Rian, Kristin; Gundersen, Astrid; Austgulen, Rigmor; Iversen, Ann-Charlotte (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Introduction Excessive placental inflammation is associated with pregnancy complications. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are sensors for danger signals from infections and damaged tissue and initiate inflammation. Trophoblasts ...
