    • A Novel Truncated Form of Nephronectin Is Present in Small Extracellular Vesicles Isolated from 66cl4 Cells 

      Toraskar, Jimita Prashant; Norvoll Magnussen, Synnøve; Hagen, Lars; Sharma, Animesh; Hoang, Linh; Bjørkøy, Geir; Svineng, Gunbjørg; Steigedal, Tonje S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Extracellular vesicles are emerging as biomarkers in breast cancer. Our recent report suggested that an intracellular granular staining pattern of the extracellular matrix protein nephronectin (NPNT) in breast tumor sections ...

    • Nephronectin as a matrix effector in cancer 

      Norvoll Magnussen, Synnøve; Toraskar, Jimita Prashant; Hadler-Olsen, Elin Synnøve; Steigedal, Tonje S.; Svineng, Gunbjørg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The extracellular matrix protein nephronectin plays an important regulatory role during embryonic development, controlling renal organogenesis through integrin α8β1 association. Nephronectin has three main domains: five ...

    • Nephronectin in breast cancer progression and metastasis 

      Toraskar, Jimita Prashant (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:390, Doctoral thesis, 2018)
      Breast cancer is life threatening due to its ability to spread and invade other tissues. The best approach in solving a problem of this sort is to be able to reason backwards. Tumors appear chaotic as they are composed of ...

    • Nephronectin mediates p38 MAPK‐induced cell viability via its integrin binding enhancer motif 

      Toraskar, Jimita Prashant; Magnussen, Synnøve; Chawla, Konika; Svineng, Gunbjørg; Steigedal, Tonje S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Nephronectin (NPNT) is an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein involved in kidney development. We recently reported intracellular NPNT as a potential prognostic marker in breast cancer and that NPNT promotes metastasis in ...

    • Nephronectin promotes breast cancer brain metastatic colonization via its integrin-binding domains 

      Norvoll Magnussen, Synnøve; Toraskar, Jimita Prashant; Wilhelm, Imola; Hasko, Janos; Figenschau, Stine; Molnar, Judit; Seppola, Marit; Steigen, Sonja Eriksson; Steigedal, Tonje S.; Hadler-Olsen, Elin Synnøve; Krizbai, Istvan; Svineng, Gunbjørg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This study demonstrates a role for the extracellular matrix protein nephronectin (NPNT) in promoting experimental breast cancer brain metastasis, possibly through enhanced binding to- and migration through brain endothelial ...
