    Synergistic apoptotic effects of bortezomib and methylstat on multiple myeloma cells
    (Elsevier, 2020) Kaci, Fatma Necmiye; Kiraz, Yağmur; Çekdemir, Demet; Baran, Yusuf
    Background. In this study, we aimed to determine synergistic apoptotic and cytotoxic effects of methylstat and bortezomib on U266 and ARH77 multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Methods. Cytotoxic effects of the drugs were demonstrated by MTT cell proliferation assay while apoptotic effects were examined by loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) by JC-1 MMP detection kit, changes in caspase-3 enzyme activity and Annexin-V apoptosis assay by flow cytometry. Expression levels of apoptotic and antiapoptotic genes were examined by qRT-PCR. Results. Our results showed that combination of methylstat and bortezomib have synergistic antiproliferative effect on MM cells as compared to either agent alone. These results were also confirmed by showing synergistic apoptotic effects determined by increased loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and increased caspase-3 enzyme activity and relocation of phosphotidyleserine on the cell membrane by Annexin-V/PI double staining. Combination of bortezomib with methylstat arrested cells at the S phase of the cell cycle. Methylstat treatment caused upregulation of FASLG, NGFR, TNF, TNI-RS10B and TNFRS1B apoptotic genes and downregulation of AKT1, AVEN, BAG1 BCL2L2 and RELA antiapoptotic genes in a dose and time dependent manner. Conclusion. In conclusion, our data suggested that bortezomib in combination with methylstat decreased cell proliferation and induced apoptosis significantly in U266 and ARH77 cells. When supported with in vivo analyses, methylstat might be considered as a potential new agent for the treatment of MM. (C) 2020 IMSS. Published by Elsevier Inc.

    Changes in Protein Profiles of Multiple Myeloma Cells in Response To Bortezomib
    (Informa Healthcare, 2013) Turan, Taylan; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Baran, Yusuf
    The objective of this study was to determine the changes in protein profiles of U-266 multiple myeloma cells in response to bortezomib. Bortezomib inhibited cell proliferation and increased the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and caspase-3 activity in a dose-dependent manner. DECODON Delta2D Version 4.3 software demonstrated 37 differentially expressed protein spots: five proteins were newly formed, 10 proteins were lost, 12 proteins were up-regulated and 10 proteins were down-regulated in bortezomib-treated cells as compared to untreated cells. Some of the identified proteins after mass spectrometric analysis were as follows: apoptosis regulatory protein Siva (newly formed), caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 14 (lost), Ras-related protein Rab-25 (up-regulated), nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) p105 subunit (down-regulated). In summary, differentially expressed proteins of MM U-266 cells in response to bortezomib were analyzed and identified. The data obtained from this study may indicate the use of bortezomib for the treatment of various diseases.
