Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Investigation of Cytotoxic Properties of Some Isoindole-Related Compounds Bearing Silyl and Azide Groups With in Vitro and in Silico Studies(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Tan, Ayşe; Köse, Aytekin; Mete, Derya; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Kışhalı, Nurhan H.; Kara, YunusThis study aims to evaluate the synthesis of isoindole-1,3-dione analogues and their cytotoxic potential. A549 and HeLa cells exposed to 250-100-50-25 mu M doses of each derivative were incubated for 24, 48, and 72 h. The cytotoxicity of the isoindole-1,3-dione derivatives was analyzed using the cell growth inhibition assay and the cell membrane damage test. (3aR,5R,6R,7aS)-5-Azido-2-benzyl-6-hydroxyhexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (1d), (3aR,5R,6R,7aS)-5-azido-6-((tert-butyldiphenylsilyl)oxy)-2-ethylhexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (2a), and (3aR,5R,6R,7aS)-5-azido-6-((tert-butyldiphenylsilyl)oxy)-2-methylhexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (2b) compounds inhibited the growth of the A549 and HeLa cells caused membrane damage and exhibited a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect on lung and cervical carcinoma cells. The effect of tert-butyldiphenylsilyl (TBDPS) groups on cytotoxicity was observed in compounds 2a and 2b, but not in the other compounds. Considering the effect of groups attached to the nitrogen atom, the best activity was exhibited in 2b molecule to which the methyl group is attached. Additionally, the interactions of compounds (3aR,5R,6R,7aS)-5-azido-6-hydroxy-2-methylhexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (1b), 1d, 2a and 2b with mammalian rapamycin target, human ribosomal S6 kinase 1 and human epidermal growth factor receptor were investigated by molecular docking studies, . According to the docking results, 2a and 2b compounds containing a TBDPS group have stronger binding energies than 1b and 1d compounds against all target receptors.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Halloysite Nanotube Loaded Polyamide Nanocomposites: Structural, Morphological, Mechanical, Thermal and Processing Behaviors(American Institute of Physics, 2023) Akar, Alinda Öykü; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Tayfun, ÜmitIn this study, the polyamide 6 (PA) matrix was reinforced with the purified, fine ground and amino-silane treated halloysite nanotubes (HNT) at different concentrations. The preparation of composites was carried out using a lab-scale twin-screw micro-compounder with loading ratios at 0.5, 1, 3, and 20% by weight, and the test samples were prepared by the injection-molding process. According to mechanical test results, additions of HNT to the PA matrix caused slight improvements in tensile strength and Youngs' modulus parameters. The optimum concentrations for all of the additives used were estimated by comparison of mechanical test data. The addition of aminosilane-modified HNT resulted in a higher impact performance at high loading levels up to 3% concentrations. Further addition of HNT caused a reduction in the mechanical parameters of composites. Thermal studies revealed that the glass transition temperature of PA shifted to higher values after HNT mineral inclusions. Thermo-mechanical results showed that storage moduli of PA exhibited improvement with an increase in HNT content. The distributions of HNT clay into the PA phase were visualized with SEM images. Based on these observations, a high level of dispersion homogeneity was achieved for lower filling ratios. According to melt-flow and force measurements, composites filled with 20% of HNT displayed a remarkable increase in exerted force during melt-blending. © 2023 Author(s).Article Development of Chemometrics Method Based on Infrared Spectroscopy for the Determination of Cement Composition and Process Optimization [article](ACG Publications, 2022) Özdemir, Durmuş; Gümüş, Mehmet Gökhan; Tepeli, DilekIn combination with a multivariate calibration method, FTIR-ATR spectroscopy was presented as a rapid method for the determination of some major oxides (CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3) and minor oxides (MgO, SO4, Na2O, and K2O) in diverse materials (raw material, raw meal, additives, clinker, and types of cement) in cement manufacturing. The FTIR spectroscopy based multivariate models were generated by taking X-ray fluorescence (XRF) as a reference method. Among a number of spectral preprocessing methods, extended multiplicative scatter correction (EMSC) yielded the best PLS models. The standard error of prediction (SEP) for the optimal FTIR based PLS models ranged from 0.10 to 2.07 (w/w%), and the regression coefficient (R2) ranged from 0.95 to 0.99 for PLS predicted vs XRF reference plots. Statistical evaluation of the both methods was carried out by paired t-test at the 95% confidence level and the results showed that the FTIR-ATR combined with PLS model results are consistent with the XRF reference measurements for all the oxides studied. Compared to the XRF method, which can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour for each measurement, the proposed method is faster, cheaper, and safer. The presented technology also allows rapid monitoring of a cement factory production line.Article Citation - WoS: 11Türkiye’de Kutanöz Leyşmanyazis Etkeni Leishmania Tropica’da Antimon Direnç Mekanizmasının Belirlenme(Ankara Mikrobiyoloji Derneği, 2020) Özbilgin, Ahmet; Zeyrek, Fadile Yıldız; Güray, Melda Zeynep; Çulha, Gülnaz; Akyar, Işın; Harman, Mehmet; Gündüz, CumhurDünya Sağlık Örgütü, yaklaşık bir milyar insanın endemik bölgelerde risk altında olduğunu, son beş yıl içinde bir milyon kutanöz leyşmanyazis (KL) olgusunun ve yılda yaklaşık 300.000 viseral leyşmanyazis (VL) olgusunun olduğunu bildirmektedir. Her yıl yaklaşık 20.000 kişinin VL’ye bağlı öldüğü bilinmektedir. Türkiye’de Leishmania tropica’nın ve Leishmania infantum’un neden olduğu KL’de yılda 2500 civarında olgu bildirilmektedir. Başta Akdeniz ve Ege Bölgesi illerinde olmak üzere diğer birçok ilde son yıllarda ortaya çıkan olgu ve odaklarda önemli oranda artış görülmesi önümüzdeki yıllarda enfeksiyon hızının yükseleceğini göstermektedir. Ülkemizdeki KL’nin ana etkeni L.tropica olup tedavide meglumin antimonat kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, antimona dirençli ve dirençli olmayan L.tropica izolatlarının gen ve protein ekspresyonları karşılaştırılarak L.tropica’ya özgü antimon direnç genlerinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Ülkemizin Ege, Akdeniz ve Güneydoğu bölgelerinden antimonat direnci bulunmayan 3 KL hastasından elde edilmiş L.tropica izolatlarında, laboratuvar ortamında meglumin antimonata karşı 3 dirençli izolat geliştirilmiştir. Bu izolatların mikroarray yöntemi ile gen ekspresyon değişimleri, 2 boyutlu jel elektroforezi ile protein profilleri ve MALDI-TOF/TOF MS ile ilgili proteinleri tanımlanarak birbirleriyle karşılaştırma yapılmıştır. Antimon tedavisine yanıt vermemiş 10 KL hastasından elde edilmiş L.tropica izolatlarına antimon bileşiklerine yönelik direnç testleri uygulanmış ve direnç gelişiminden sorumlu genlerin ekspresyonlarını saptamak amacıyla kantitatif gerçek zamanlı polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu uygulanmıştır. Ayrıca, protein profilleri karşılaştırılarak antimon direnci olan ve olmayan izolatlardaki protein ekspresyon düzeylerindeki farklılıklar belirlenmiş ve farklılık saptanan proteinlerin tanımlanması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmalar sonucunda, L.tropica izolatlarının antimon bileşiklerine karşı direnç geliştirilen izolatlarında, direnç geliştirmesinde enolaz, “Elongation factor-2 (EF-2)”, “Heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70)”, tripanotyon redüktaz, protein kinaz C ve metalo-peptidaz proteinlerinin rol oynadığı saptanmış ve hastalardan alınan doğal dirençli izolatlarda da benzer ekspresyon değişimi gösterilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, ülkemizdeki L.tropica izolatlarının deneysel olarak çok kısa sürede meglumin antimonata (Glucantime®) karşı direnç kazandığı saptanmıştır. Ülkemizde yaşayan ve yurt dışından ülkemize giriş yapan KL hastalarının yetersiz ve eksik tedavi görmesi durumunda, dirençli suşların ve olgu sayısının hızla artabileceği ve dirençli leyşmanyazis odaklarının oluşabileceği öngörülmektedir.Article Citation - WoS: 2Türkiye’de Kutanöz Leyşmanyazis Hastalarından Elde Edilen Leishmania İzolatlarındaki Farklılıklar ve Bunların Fare Modeline Klinik Yansıması(Ankara Microbiology Society, 2020) Özbilgin, Ahmet; Çulha, Gülnaz; Güray, Melda Zeynep; Zeyrek, Fadile Yıldız; Akyar, Işın; Toz, Seray; Gündüz, CumhurAlthough asexual reproduction has been attributed to Leishmania species, genetic exchange has recently been demonstrated, which helped emerging of hybrid isolates. Situated on the crossroads between three continents, Leishmania hybrids may be present in Turkey. In Turkey, visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum is less common, while cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by Leishmania tropica and L.infantum could reach 2500 reported cases a year. Our aim was to investigate genetic variability of local Leishmania species and presence of hybrid Leishmania strains in Turkey. Twenty CL patients from Sanliurfa and Hatay, where only L.tropica and both L.tropica and L.infantum cause CL, respectively, were registered equally. All isolates were assessed with real-time polymerase chain reaction (Rt-PCR), isoenzyme analysis, gene sequencing, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS followed by in vivo analyses on mouse model. Identification of differentially expressed proteins was performed. These proteins were confirmed by sequence analysis. All isolates from Sanliurfa were found to be L.tropica which caused cutaneous infection in mice. However, one of 10 isolates from Hatay was found as Leishmania major which caused cutaneous infection. Five isolates were found as L.tropica with Rt-PCR and gene sequencing, one of which had one different protein from the reference L.tropica strain and caused cutaneous infection. Four of the five isolates had five different proteins compared to reference strain and caused both cutaneous and visceral infections. Remaining four isolates showed double melting curves in Rt-PCR, which were concordant with L.tropica and L.infantum. Their sequencing and isoenzyme analyses indicated them as L.infantum. They had six different proteins compared to reference L.infantum strain and caused cutaneous and visceral infections. It is concluded that the isolates with different proteins were hybrid Leishmania species. In the present study, outcomes of the proteomics, genomics, clinical manifestations and tissue tropism on animal models were evaluated together for the first time. In addition to L. tropica and L.infantum, L.major was identified as a causative agent for CL and hybrids of Linfantum/tropica were also shown to be present.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Determination of Aluminum Oxide Thickness on the Annealed Surface of 8000 Series Aluminum Foil by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(Springer, 2017) İnanç Uçar, Özlem; Ekin Meşe, Ayten; Birbaşar, Onur; Dündar, Murat; Özdemir, DurmuşAluminum foil produced with prescribed thermomechanical processing route develop oxide film. Alloy chemistry and annealing practices, particularly its duration and exposed temperature, determine the characteristics of the oxide film. The magnitude and characteristics of the oxide film may impair surface features leading to serious problems in some applications, such as coating, printing and in some severe cases failure in formability. Therefore, it is important for the rolling industry to be able to monitor the oxide formation on the foil products and quantify its thickness. Well known methods to measure an oxide thickness that is in the order of nanometer, require meticulous sample preparation techniques, long duration for measurements and sophisticated equipment. However, in this study, a simple and rapid grazing angle attenuated total reflectance infrared (GA-ATR-FTIR) spectroscopic method combined with chemometrics multivariate calibration has been developed for the oxide thickness determination which is validated with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). 3000 and 8000 series aluminum foil materials which were produced by twin roll casting technique were used in this study. Foil samples were annealed at various different temperatures and annealing times in a laboratory scale furnace. Immediately after collecting GA-ATR-FTIR spectra, the 3000 series alloy samples were sent to a laboratory where XPS reference oxide thickness measurements had been performed. Partial Least Squares (PLS) method was used to develop a multivariate calibration model based on FTIR spectra and XPS reference oxide thickness values in order to predict the aluminum oxide thickness. The correlation coefficient of XPS reference oxide thickness values versus grazing angle ATR-FTIR based PLS predicted values was found as 0.9903 the standard error of cross validation (SECV) was found to be 0.29 nm in range of 4.9–14.0 nm for Al2O3. In addition, the standard error of prediction (SEP) for the validation set was 0.24 nm with the model generated with three principal components (PCs). © The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society 2017.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Comparative Proteomic Analysis of Bacillus Thuringiensis Wild-Type and Two Mutant Strains Disturbed in Polyphosphate Homeostasis(TUBITAK, 2018) Yeşilırmak, Filiz; Doruk, Tuğrul; Yılmaz, Şerif; Tunca Gedik, SedefPolyphosphate polymer (polyP) plays a very important role in every living cell. Synthesis of this linear polymer of phosphate (Pi) residues is catalyzed by the polyphosphate kinase (PPK) enzyme. It was shown that high levels of intracellular polyphosphate stimulated endotoxin production by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti). In this study, proteomic analysis of the wild-type and two mutant strains, overexpressing the ppk gene (Bti pHTppk) and without the ppk gene (Bti ∆ppk), were used to clarify the relation between polyP and endotoxin production. Intracellular proteins were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; 41 spots of interest (proteins differentially expressed) were obtained and 35 of them were identified by mass spectrometry. Analysis of the protein profiles showed that there is a general decrease in the expression levels of proteins related with energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and purine biosynthesis in both Bti pHTppk and Bti ∆ppk. Gluconeogenesis and fatty acid metabolism were also slowed down in both strains, whereas expression of stress response proteins increased compared to the wild-type. These results suggested that changes in polyP concentration cause a general stress condition inside the cell, which in turn stimulates secondary metabolite synthesisArticle Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Amalgamation Performances of Gold-Coated Quartz Wool, Alumina, Silica, Sand and Carbon Fiber for the Determination of Inorganic Mercury in Waters by Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectrometry(Pleiades Publishing, 2017) Erdem Şimşek, Arzu; Erdem Yayayürük, Aslı; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminDifferent gold-coated sorbents for amalgamation were applied for the determination of inorganic mercury in waters using a home-made cold vapor generation unit coupled to atomic absorption spectrometry. Among the gold-coated materials investigated (quartz wool, alumina, silica, sand and carbon fiber) quartz wool was found to give the most efficient results in terms of sorption and release. Analytical performance of the system without and with amalgamation was investigated and it was found that when amalgamation was applied, the linearity and slope of the calibration plots were independent on the sample volume for 1.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mL. Method validation was realized through the analysis of a sample of spring water spiked with 1.0 μg/L inorganic mercury and the spike recoveries were found to be 95 ± 1, 91 ± 3, and 99 ± 5% for 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0 mL, respectively. The results demonstrated that the methodology can be applied to these types of samples directly or after amalgamation, depending on the mercury concentration.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Use of Amberlite Xad-7hp for the Separation of Mn(ii) and Mn(vii) in Waters(Pleiades Publishing, 2017) Erdem Yayayürük, Aslı; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminA simple method is proposed for the determination and speciation of Mn(II) and Mn(VII) in waters utilizing a macroporous resin, Amberlite XAD-7HP. The batch method was employed and flame atomic absorption spectrometry was used in all determinations. Amberlite XAD-7HP resin was shown to retain Mn(VII) between pH 4 and 12. If the solution contains only one of the species, either Mn(II) or Mn(VII), the resin behaves selectively depending on the pH of the solution. The elution from the sorbent was realized using K2C2O4 in HNO3. The efficiency of the method was checked via spike recovery experiments. The proposed method was successfully applied to industrial wastewater samples and quantitative recoveries (≥96.0%) confirmed the accuracy of the method.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Determination of Minerals and Trace Elements in Soils and the Relation With Its Concentrations in Sugar Beets(Chemical Publishing Co., 2010) Küçükbay, F. Zehra; Kuyumcu, Ebru; Karaca, İdil; Özdemir, DurmuşTwelve sugar beets and corresponding soil samples from the plantation near Malatya, Turkey were analyzed for mineral and trace element contents. Thirteen metals (Al, Ca, Cd, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Se and Zn) were selected and analyzed quantitatively by FAAS/FAES and ETAAS. Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis were used to explore samples based on the element contents. The principal component analysis analysis of sugar beet samples yielded five principal components which were able to explain about 84% of the total variance in the data set. The number of principal components that are higher than one was four for the soil samples and were able to explain 83% of total variance. Hierarchical cluster analysis of sugar beet samples and corresponding soil samples resulted in two main clusters based on the geographic regions of the samples. In terms of the elements being analyzed, the hierarchical cluster analysis method resulted in 3-4 clusters of the elements in both sugar beet and soil samples.
