    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, Sevil
    In 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.

    Mechanisms of Cellular Resistance To Imatinib in Human Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2007) Baran, Yusuf; Ural, Ali Uğur; Gündüz, Ufuk
    A major advancement in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has been the development of imatinib, which has shown striking activity in the chronic phase and the accelerated phase, but less so in the blast phase of the disease. Despite high rates of hematologic and cytogenetic responses to therapy, the emergence of resistance to imatinib has been recognized as a major problem in the treatment of patients with CML. Various cellular mechanisms may be involved in the nature of cellular resistance. Increased amount of target, alteration in structure of target proteins, decreased drug uptake and increased detoxification are well-known mechanisms of resistance. On the other hand, in some cases, even if anticancer drugs reach their sites of action, bypassing drug efflux system of the cells, some cells still may survive via the dysregulation of apoptotic signalling. In this study, mechanisms of resistance to imatinib-induced apoptosis in human Meg-01 CML cells were examined. Continuous exposure of cells to step-wise increasing concentrations of imatinib resulted in the selection of 200- and 1000 nM imatinib-resistant sub-lines referred to as Meg-01/IMA-0,2 and Meg-01/1MA-1, respectively. MTT cell proliferation, cell cycle analyses and trypan blue dye exclusion analyses showed that Meg-0l/IMA-1 cells were resistant to imatinib-induced apoptosis as compared to parental sensitive cells. There was an increased expression of BCR/ABL, Bcl-2 and an increase in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) detected in resistant cells comparing to parental sensitive cells. There was no mutation detected in imatinib binding site of ABL kinase region. Various diverse mechanisms have been reported for their involvement in the multidrug resistance. In this study, it has been shown that the degree of BCR/ABL expression appears to be directly proportional to the levels of imatinib resistance. In addition, there have been BCR/ABL-independent mechanisms reported for deriving resistance against imatinib. Our results revealed that besides BCR/ABL overexpression, imatinib resistance also depends on the inhibition of apoptosis as a result of up-regulation of anti-apoptotic stimuli and down-regulation of pro-apoptotic stimuli through MMP but does not depend on any mutation on imatinib binding site of ABL kinase.

    Targeting Sphingosine Kinase-1/Spingosine-1-phosphate Receptor 2 Signalling Pathway To Overcome T315i Mutation in 32dcl3 Cells
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Adan Gökbulut, Aysun; Öğretmen, Besim; Baran, Yusuf
    The main problem in chronic myeloid leukemia patients is the development of resistance against tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The expression of BCR-ABL1 having T315 mutation is responsible for the development of nilotinib resistance. The alterations in sphingolipid signalling pathway is a significant BCR-ABL1-dependent resistance mechanism. Recently, we showed that sphingosine kinase-1 (SK-1)/sphingosine-1 phosphate (S1P)-mediated drug resistance is transduced via sphingosine-1 phosphate receptor 2 (S1P2) that inhibits protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), causing increased stability of BCR-ABL1. However, specific signaling cascade involved in this process remain unkown. In this study, BCR-ABL1 expressing 32Dcl3 cells, 32D-p210Bcr-Abl(wt) and 32D-p210Bcr-Abl (T315I) were used. The antiproliferative effects of nilotinib, SK-1 inhibitor (PF-543), S1P2 inhibitor (JTE-013), phospholipase C inhibitor (U-73122) and nilotinib/PF-543 and nilotinib/JTE-013 combinations on wt and resistant cells were determined by MTT assay. Isobologram analysis was performed using CompuSyn program.

    Therapeutic Potential of Fisetin, Vitexin and Hesperetin on Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Adan Gökbulut, Aysun; Baran, Yusuf
    In Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) treatment, despite therapeutic efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, resistance development and side effects cause problems. Fisetin, vitexin and hesperetin are plant-derived flavonoids. In this study, therapeutic potentials of fisetin, vitexin and hesperetin were determined in CML cells. Cytotoxic effects of flavonoids were determined by MTT assay while apoptotic effects were determined by changes in caspase- 3 activity, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and Annexin V/PI double staining. Cytostatic effects of the flavonoids were evaluated by propidium iodide staining using flow cytometry.

    A Novel Biomarker for Drug Resistance in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: Microrna-17
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Baran, Yusuf; Fıratlıgil, Burcu; Kartal Yandım, Melis; Kiraz, Yağmur; Kozanoğlu, İlknur; Özdoğu, Hakan; Ünal, Ali
    miRNAs are single stranded small RNA molecules (20–22 nt), which do not have ability to code for proteins. These types of RNAs play significant roles on gene regulation through inhibition of their target genes. In animals, most of miRNAs show their translational inhibitor effect on target mRNAs by semi-complementation to 3’UTR sequences of mRNAs and deadenylation that cause degradation of these mRNAs. The importance of miRNAs is increasing in cancer diagnosis and treatment since they are one of the major regulators of genes such as oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes. miR-17 is an oncogenic miRNA that suppress the activation of tumor suppressor genes like CDKN1A, p21 and E2F1. Based on previous information, we aimed to determine the correlation between expression levels of miR-17 microRNA in newly diagnosed, tyrosine kinase inhibitors treated and drug resistant CML patients.

    Cytotoxic and Apoptotic Effects of Fisetin, Hesperetin and Vitexinon Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Cells
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Adan Gökbulut, Aysun; Baran, Yusuf
    Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia (APL) is characterized by abnormal accumulation of immature granulocytes in the bone marrow and the blood stream. To date, there is no definitive treatment strategy. Fisetin, hesperetin and vitexin are flavanoids found in fruits and vegetables. Their anticancer properties have been studied on several cancer types. In this study, we aimed to examine the cytotoxic, cytostatic and apoptotic effects of fisetin, hesperetin and vitexin on Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia cells. Cytotoxic effects were evaluated by MTT assay while apoptotic effects of these flavonoids were examined by changes in caspase-3 activity, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and Annexin V/PI double staining. Cytostatic effects of the flavonoids were evaluated by propidium iodide staining using flow cytometry.
