    A Src/Abl Kinase Inhibitor, Bosutinib, Downregulates and Inhibits Parp Enzyme and Sensitizes Cells To the DNA Damaging Agents
    (Türk Biyokimya Derneği, 2018) Kırmızıbayrak, Petek Ballar; Yılmaz, Sinem; Yılmaz, Sinem; Günal, Selin; Tepedelen, Burcu Erbaykent; 03.01. Department of Bioengineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Background: Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) catalyzed mainly by PARP1 is a highly regulated posttranslational modification associated with several pathways in cellular physiology and genotoxic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage response. PAR polymers and PARP enzyme function in DNA integrity maintenance and several PARP inhibitors have entered clinical phase studies for cancer therapies. Material and methods: The effect of bosutinib, a dual Src/Abl kinase inhibitor, on PARylation was fluorometrically measured. The cytotoxic and chemosensitizing effects were assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The levels of DNA repair proteins and PARP enzyme were examined by immunoblotting. Results: In this study, bosutinib is characterized as a novel PARP inhibitor. Bosutinib inhibited oxidative stress-induced cellular PARylation and nuclear foci formation by downregulating PARP1 levels. Bosutinib was found to be more cytotoxic on Capan1 cells with BRCA2 mutation. Furthermore by acting as a chemosensitizer, bosutinib enhanced the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin (DOXO) and etoposide (ETP) by decreasing phosphorylation of DNA repair enzymes checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) and ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM). Conclusion: By inhibition of both PARP and DNA damage checkpoint kinases, bosutinib increased the phospho-H2AX levels, an early indicator of DNA double strand breaks.

    Identification of Cytoplasmic Sialidase Neu2-Associated Proteins by Lc-ms/Ms
    (Türk Biyokimya Derneği, 2019) Akyıldız Demir, Seçil; Seyrantepe, Volkan; Seyrantepe, Volkan; 04.03. Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Background: Cytoplasmic sialidase (NEU2) plays an active role in removing sialic acids from oligosaccharides, gly-copeptides, and gangliosides in mammalian cells. NEU2 is involved in various cellular events, including cancer metabolism, neuronal and myoblast differentiation, proliferation, and hypertrophy. However, NEU2-interacting protein(s) within the cell have not been identified yet. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate NEU2 interacting proteins using two-step affinity purification (TAP) strategy combined with mass spectrometry analysis. Methods: In this study, NEU2 gene was cloned into the pCTAP expression vector and transiently transfected to COS-7 cells by using PEI. The most efficient expression time of NEU2- tag protein was determined by real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. NEU2-interacting protein(s) were investigated by using TAP strategy combined with two different mass spectrometry experiment; LC-MS/MS and MALDI TOF/TOF. Results: Here, mass spectrometry analysis showed four proteins; a-actin, beta-actin, calmodulin and histone H1.2 proteins are associated with NEU2. The interactions between NEU2 and actin filaments were verified by Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence analysis. Conclusions: Our study suggests that association of NEU2 with actin filaments and other protein(s) could be important for understanding the biological role of NEU2 in mammalian cells.
