    • Inflammation in Pregnancy – A Study of Pattern Recognition Receptors in Trophoblasts 

      Tangerås, Line Haugstad (Master thesis, 2011)
      Normal pregnancy is characterized by a mildly elevated state of inflammation, as a consequence of the woman’s body adapting to the presence of the growing fetus. The placenta is established in early pregnancy, and constitutes ...
    • Metabolic profiles of placenta in preeclampsia using HR-MAS MRS metabolomics 

      Austdal, Marie; Thomsen, Liv Cecilie Vestrheim; Tangerås, Line Haugstad; Skei, Bente; Mathew, Seema; Bjørge, Line; Austgulen, Rigmor; Bathen, Tone Frost; Iversen, Ann-Charlotte (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Introduction Preeclampsia is a heterogeneous gestational disease characterized by maternal hypertension and proteinuria, affecting 2–7% of pregnancies. The disorder is initiated by insufficient placental development, ...
    • Metabolomics identifies placental dysfunction and confirms Flt-1 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase receptor 1) biomarker specificity 

      Austdal, Marie; Silva, Gabriela; Bowe, Sophie; Thomsen, Liv Cecilie Vestrheim; Tangerås, Line Haugstad; Bjørge, Line; Bathen, Tone Frost; Iversen, Ann-Charlotte (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Clinical end-stage parameters define the pregnancy disorders preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction while classification of the underlying placental dysfunction is missing and urgently needed. Flt-1 (FMS-like tyrosine ...
    • Placental inflammation by HMGB1 activation of TLR4 at the syncytium

    • Placental inflammation in pre-eclampsia by Nod-like receptor protein (NLRP)3 inflammasome activation in trophoblasts 

      Stødle, Guro; Silva, Gabriela; Tangerås, Line Haugstad; Gierman, Lobke; Nervik, Ingunn; Dahlberg, Unn; Sun, Chen; Aune, Marie Hjelmseth; Thomsen, Liv Cecilie Vestrheim; Bjørge, Line; Iversen, Ann-Charlotte (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Pre‐eclampsia is associated with increased levels of cholesterol and uric acid and an inflamed placenta expressing danger‐sensing pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Crystalline cholesterol and uric acid activate the PRR ...
    • Serum cytokine patterns in first half of pregnancy 

      Stokkeland, Live Marie Tobiesen; Giskeødegård, Guro F.; Stridsklev, Solhild; Ryan, Liv; Steinkjer, Bjørg; Tangerås, Line Haugstad; Vanky, Eszter; Iversen, Ann-Charlotte (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Introduction Human pregnancy is a state of elevated maternal systemic inflammation, and pregnancy complications are often associated with a dysfunctional immune response. The network of cytokines reflects this complex ...
    • Toll-like receptor profiling of seven trophoblast cell lines warrants caution for translation to primary trophoblasts
