      An inflammatory response is required for tissue healing after a myocardial infarction (MI), but the process must be balanced to prevent maladaptive remodeling. This study shows that improved survival and cardiac function ...
    • Duodenal inflammation in common variable immunodeficiency has altered transcriptional response to viruses 

      Kaarbø, Mari; Yang, Mingyi; Hov, Johannes Espolin Roksund; Holm, Kristian; Sousa, Mirta; Macpherson, Magnhild Eide; Reims, Henrik Mikael; Kran, Anne-Marte Bakken; Halvorsen, Bente; Karlsen, Tom Hemming; Aukrust, Pål; Lundin, Knut; Fevang, Børre; Bjørås, Magnar; Jørgensen, Silje Fjellgård (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Background A substantial proportion of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) patients has duodenal inflammation of largely unknown etiology. However, because of its histologic similarities with celiac disease, gluten ...
    • High performance and toxicity assessment of Ta3N5 nanotubes for photoelectrochemical water splitting 

      Xu, Kaiqi; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Risbakk, Sanne; Yang, Mingyi; Backe, Paul Hoff; Grandcolas, Mathieu; Bjørås, Magnar; Norby, Truls Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In this work, Co-based cocatalysts are electrodeposited on mesoporous Ta3N5 nanotubes. The electrodeposition time is varied and the optimized photoelectrode reaches a photocurrent density of 6.3 mA/cm2 at 1.23 V vs. SHE, ...
    • Identifying functional regulatory mutation blocks by integrating genome sequencing and transcriptome data 

      Yang, Mingyi; Ali, Omer; Bjørås, Magnar; Wang, Junbai (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Millions of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) exist in the human genome; however, it remains challenging to identify functional SNVs associated with diseases. We propose a non-encoding SNVs analysis tool bpb3, BayesPI-BAR ...
    • A loss-of-function mutation in human Oxidation Resistance 1 disrupts the spatial–temporal regulation of histone arginine methylation in neurodevelopment 

      Lin, Xiaolin; Wang, Wei; Yang, Mingyi; Damseh, Nadirah; Sousa, Mirta; Jacob, Fadi; lång, anna ulrika; Kristiansen, Elise; Pannone, Marco; Kissova, Miroslava; Almaas, Runar; Kusnierczyk, Anna; Siller, Richard; Shahrour, Maher; Al-Ashhab, Motee; Abu-Libdeh, Bassam; Tang, Wannan; Slupphaug, Geir; Elpeleg, Orly; Bøe, Stig Ove; Eide, Lars; Sullivan, Gareth John; Rinholm, Johanne Egge; Song, Hongjun; Ming, Guo-li; van Loon, Barbara; Edvardson, Simon; Ye, Jing; Bjørås, Magnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background Oxidation Resistance 1 (OXR1) gene is a highly conserved gene of the TLDc domain-containing family. OXR1 is involved in fundamental biological and cellular processes, including DNA damage response, antioxidant ...
    • Novel UCHL1 mutations reveal new insights into ubiquitin processing 

      Rydning, Siri Lynne; Backe, Paul Hoff; Sousa, Mirta; Iqbal, Zafar; Øye, Ane-Marte; Sheng, Ying; Yang, Mingyi; Lin, Xiaolin; Slupphaug, Geir; Nordenmark, Tonje Haug; Vigeland, Magnus Dehli; Bjørås, Magnar; Tallaksen, Chantal; Selmer, Kaja Kristine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Recessive loss of function of the neuronal ubiquitin hydrolase UCHL1 has been implicated in early-onset progressive neurodegeneration (MIM no. 615491), so far only in one family. In this study a second family is characterized, ...
    • OXR1A, a Coactivator of PRMT5 Regulating Histone Arginine Methylation 

      Yang, Mingyi; Lin, Xiaolin; Segers, Filip; Suganthan, Rajikala; Hildrestrand, Gunn Annette; Rinholm, Johanne Egge; Aas, Per Arne; Sousa, Mirta; Holm, Sverre; Bolstad, Nils; Warren, David; Berge, Rolf Kristian; Johansen, Rune Forstrøm; Yndestad, Arne; Kristiansen, Elise; Klungland, Arne; Gomez, Luisa Fernanda Luna; Eide, Lars; Halvorsen, Bente; Aukrust, Pål; Bjørås, Magnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Oxidation resistance gene 1 (OXR1) protects cells against oxidative stress. We find that male mice with brain-specific isoform A knockout (Oxr1A−/−) develop fatty liver. RNA sequencing of male Oxr1A−/− liver indicates ...
