Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Her2-Specific Peptide (ltvspwy) and Antibody (herceptin) Targeted Core Cross-Linked Micelles for Breast Cancer: a Comparative Study(MDPI, 2023) Bayram, N.N.; Ulu, G.T.; Abdulhadi, N.A.; Gürdap, S.; İşoğlu, İ.A.; Baran, Yusuf; İşoğlu, S.D.This study aims to prepare a novel breast cancer-targeted micelle-based nanocarrier, which is stable in circulation, allowing intracellular drug release, and to investigate its cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and cytostatic effects, in vitro. The shell part of the micelle is composed of zwitterionic sulfobetaine ((N-3-sulfopropyl-N,N-dimethylamonium)ethyl methacrylate), while the core part is formed by another block, consisting of AEMA (2-aminoethyl methacrylamide), DEGMA (di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate), and a vinyl-functionalized, acid-sensitive cross-linker. Following this, a targeting agent (peptide (LTVSPWY) and antibody (Herceptin®)), in varying amounts, were coupled to the micelles, and they were characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), Zetasizer, BCA protein assay, and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The cytotoxic, cytostatic, apoptotic, and genotoxic effects of doxorubicin-loaded micelles were investigated on SKBR-3 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive) and MCF10-A (HER2-negative). According to the results, peptide-carrying micelles showed a higher targeting efficiency and better cytostatic, apoptotic, and genotoxic activities than antibody-carrying and non-targeted micelles. Also, micelles masked the toxicity of naked DOX on healthy cells. In conclusion, this nanocarrier system has great potential to be used in different drug-targeting strategies, by changing targeting agents and drugs. © 2023 by the authors.Conference Object Peptıde Targeted Core Cross-lınked Mıcelles For Dox Delıvery To Her2 Expressıng Cancer Cells(Mary Ann Liebert, 2022) Bayram, Nazende Nur; Ulu, Gizem Tuğçe; Gürdap, Seda; İşoğlu, İsmail Alper; Baran, Yusuf; Dinçer İşoğlu, SevilIn this study, we prepared a novel targeted and extra stable micellar nanocarrier that can facilitate intracellular drug release. First, ((N-3-sulfopropyl-N, N-dimethylammonium)ethyl methacrylate was synthesized by RAFT polymerization, and it was followed by copolymerization of macroCTA with AEM in the presence of an aciddegradable cross-linker. Then, a peptide estimated by phage display for HER-2 recognition was incorporated into these core cross-linked micelles with carbodiimide reaction.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Investigating the Potential Therapeutic Role of Targeting Stat3 for Overcoming Drug Resistance by Regulating Energy Metabolism in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells(Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, 2022) Tezcanlı Kaymaz, Burçin; Günel, Nur Selvi; Söğütlü, Fatma; Özateş Ay, Neslihan Pınar; Baran, Yusuf; Gündüz, Cumhur; Biray Avcı, ÇığırObjective(s): STATs are one of the initial targets of emerging anti-cancer agents due to their regulatory roles in survival, apoptosis, drug response, and cellular metabolism in CML. Aberrant STAT3 activity promotes malignancy, and acts as a metabolic switcher in cancer cell metabolism, contributing to resistance to TKI nilotinib. To investigate the possible therapeutic effects of targeting STAT3 to overcome nilotinib resistance by evaluating various cellular responses in both sensitive and nilotinib resistant CML cells and to test the hypothesis that energy metabolism modulation could be a mechanism for re-sensitization to nilotinib in resistant cells. Materials and Methods: By using RNAi-mediated STAT3 gene silencing, cell viability and proliferation assays, apoptotic analysis, expressional regulations of STAT mRNA transcripts, STAT3 total, pTyr705, pSer727 protein expression levels, and metabolic activity as energy metabolism was determined in CML model K562 cells, in vitro. Results: Targeting STAT3 sensitized both parental and especially nilotinib resistant cells by decreasing leukemic cell survival; inducing leukemic cell apoptosis, and decreasing STAT3 mRNA and protein expression levels. Besides, cell energy phenotype was modulated by switching energy metabolism from aerobic glycolysis to mitochondrial respiration in resistant cells. RNAi-mediated STAT3 silencing accelerated the sensitization of leukemia cells to nilotinib treatment, and STAT3-dependent energy metabolism regulation could be another underlying mechanism for regaining nilotinib response. Conclusion: Targeting STAT3 is an efficient strategy for improving the development of novel CML therapeutics for regaining nilotinib response, and re-sensitization of resistant cells could be mediated by induced apoptosis and regulation in energy metabolism.Article Citation - WoS: 139Granulocytic Sarcoma: a Systematic Review(e-Century Publishing Corporation, 2013) Yılmaz, Asu Fergün; Saydam, Güray; Şahin, Fahri; Baran, YusufGranulocytic sarcoma also called myeloid sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor of immature granulocytic cells. It is a rare entity, and mostly accompanied by acute myeloid leukemia. It is observed during the course of myeloproliferative disorders especially in chronic myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. In some rare circumstances, it is detected before clinical signs of leukemia or other diseases. When the bone marrow biopsy reveals no other hematologic malignancies, the granulocytic sarcoma is described as nonleukemic, primary or isolated. It is observed at any part of the body but the most common locations are soft tissues, bone, peritoneum and lymph nodes. Presenting signs or symptoms are mainly due to mass effect of the tumor and dysfunction of the organ, or the tissue that is affected. The diagnosis is performed by biopsy of the tumor. The tumor consists of immature granulocytic cells, which could be documented by H&E, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometric methods. Fluorescence in-situ hybridization and molecular analysis are also performed. The optimal time and type of treatment is not clear. Surgery could be an option especially for tumors, which cause organ dysfunction and/or obstruction. Systemic treatment should be considered in all patients because without systemic treatment, relapses and progression to acute myeloid leukemia is the ultimate fate of the disease in many cases. Cytarabine-containing remission-induction chemotherapies have been the most applied therapeutic strategies, but it is not clear whether the consolidation therapies are required or not, and what kind of regimens are appropriate. The role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSC) as a consolidation regimen is not clear, but, after the relapse of the disease with or without bone marrow involvement, HSC transplantation should be considered in suitable patients after the reinduction performed by AML chemotherapies. There is only limited data about the role of radiotherapy in these patients. It could be used in patients with relapsed disease, organ dysfunction which should be quickly relieved and inadequate response to chemotherapy. The effect of radiotherapy on overall survival is not known. New prospective studies and clinical trials are needed to generate guidelines for the treatment of primary granulocytic sarcomas.Article Citation - WoS: 15Changes in Molecular Biology of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Era(e-Century Publishing Corporation, 2013) Cömert, Melda; Baran, Yusuf; Saydam, GürayChronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disease characterized by a reciprocal translocation between long arms of chromosomes 9 and 22 t(9; 22) that generates the BCR-ABL fusion gene. If left untreated, newly diagnosed chronic phase CML patients finally progress to accelerated and blastic phase. After the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), treatment strategies of CML changed dramatically. However, the development of resistance to TKIs started to create problems over time. In this review, the current information about CML biology before and after imatinib mesylate treatment is summarized.Article Citation - WoS: 16Cumulative Clinical Experience From a Decade of Use: Imatinib as First-Line Treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia(Dove Medical Press Ltd., 2012) Baran, Yusuf; Saydam, GürayChronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant disease that originates in the bone marrow and is designated by the presence of the Philadelphia (Ph+) chromosome, a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22. Targeted therapy against CML commenced with the development of small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) exerting their effect against the oncogenic breakpoint cluster region (BCR)-ABL fusion protein. Imatinib emerged as the first successful example of a TKI used for the treatment of chronic-phase CML patients and resulted in significant improvements in response rate and overall survival compared with previous treatments. However, a significant portion of patients failed to respond to the therapy and developed resistance against imatinib. Second-generation TKIs nilotinib and dasatinib were to have higher efficiency in clinical trials in imatinib- resistant or intolerant CML patients com pared with imatinib. Identification of novel strategies such as dose escalation, drug combination therapy, and use of novel BCR-ABL inhibitors may eventually overcome resistance against BCR-ABL TKIs. This article reviews the history of CML, including the treatment strategies used prediscovery of TKIs and the preclinical and clinical data obtained after the use of imatinib, and the second-generation TKIs developed for the treatment of CML.Conference Object Cytotoxic Effects of Apigenin on Multiple Myeloma Cells(Ferrata Storti Foundation, 2013) Baran, Yusuf; Yılmaz, S.; Cincin, Zeynep; Kozanoğlu, İlknur; Çakmakoğlu, Bedia; Özdoğu, Hakan[No abstract available]Conference Object Changes in Gene Expression Profiles in Response To Apigenin in Imatinib Sensitive and Resistant Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells(FERRATA STORTI FOUNDATION, 2013) Baran, Yusuf; Gökbulut, Aysun; Cincin, Zeynep; Çakmakoğlu, Bedia; Kozanoğlu, İlknur[No abstract available]Conference Object Determination of Cytotoxic and Apoptotic Effects of Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester and Gossypol in Combination With Fludarabine at a Molecular Level in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells(Ferrata Storti Foundation, 2013) Baran, Yusuf; İskender, G.; Pişkin, Özden; Özcan, Mehmet Ali[No abstract available]Conference Object Diagnostic and Therapeutic Potentials of Expression Levels of Bioactive Sphingolipid Genes in Newly Diagnosed and Drug-Resistant Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients(Ferrata Storti Foundation, 2013) Baran, Yusuf; Yandım, Melis; Kozanoğlu, İlknur; Özdoğu, Hakan; Pişkin, Özden; Özcan, Mehmet Ali[No abstract available]
