Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6A Molecular and Biophysical Comparison of Macromolecular Changes in Imatinib-Sensitive and Imatinib-Resistant K562 Cells Exposed To Ponatinib(SAGE Publications Inc., 2016) Kartal Yandım, Melis; Ceylan, Çağatay; Elmas, Efe; Baran, YusufChronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a type of hematological malignancy that is characterized by the generation of Philadelphia chromosome encoding BCR/ABL oncoprotein. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), imatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib, are used for the frontline therapy of CML. Development of resistance against these TKIs in the patients bearing T315I mutation is a major obstacle in CML therapy. Ponatinib, the third-generation TKI, is novel drug that is effective even in CML patients with T315I mutation. The exact mechanism of ponatinib in CML has been still unknown. In this study, we aimed to determine the potential mechanisms and structural metabolic changes activated by ponatinib treatment in imatinib-sensitive K562 human CML cell lines and 3 μM-imatinib-resistant K562/IMA3 CML cell lines generated at our lab. Apoptotic and antiproliferative effects of ponatinib on imatinib-sensitive and 3 μM-imatinib-resistant K562/IMA3 CML cells were determined by proliferation and apoptosis assays. Additionally, the effects of ponatinib on macromolecules and lipid profiles were also analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Our results revealed that ponatinib inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis as determined by loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, increased caspase-3 enzyme activity, and transfer of phosphatidylserine to the plasma membrane in both K562 and K562/IMA-3 cells. Furthermore, cell cycle analyses revealed that ponatinib arrested K562 and K562/IMA-3 cells at G1 phase. Moreover, ponatinib treatment created a more ordered nucleic acid structure in the resistant cells. Although the lipid to protein ratio increased in imatinib-sensitive K562 cells with a little decrease in the K562/IMA-3 cells, ponatinib treatment indicated significant changes in the lipid composition such as a significant increase in the cellular cholesterol amounts much more in the K562/IMA-3 cells than the sensitive counterparts. Unsaturation in lipids was higher in the resistant cells; however, increases in lipids without phosphate and the number of acyl chains were much higher in the K562 cells. Taken together, all these results showed powerful antiproliferative and apoptotic effects of ponatinib in both imatinib-sensitive and imatinib-resistant CML cells in a dose-dependent manner, and hence, the use of ponatinib for the treatment of TKI-resistant CML patients may be an effective treatment approach in the clinic. More importantly, these results showed that FTIR spectroscopy can detect drug-induced physiological changes in cancer drug resistance.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Macromolecular Changes in Nilotinib Resistant K562 Cells; an in Vitro Study by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(SAGE Publications Inc., 2012) Ceylan, Çağatay; Camgöz, Aylin; Baran, YusufNilotinib is a second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor which is used in both first and second line treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In the present work, the effects of nilotinib resistance on K562 cells were investigated at the molecular level using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Human K562 CML cells were exposed to step-wise increasing concentrations of nilotinib, and sub-clones of K562 cells resistant to 50 nM nilotinib were generated and referred to as K562/NIL-50 cells. Antiproliferative effects of nilotinib were determined by XTT cell proliferation assay. Changes in macromolecules in parental and resistant cells were studied by FT-IR spectroscopy. Nilotinib resistance caused significant changes which indicated increases in the level of glycogen and membrane/lipid order. The amount of unsaturated lipids increased in the nilotinib resistant cells indicating lipid peroxidation. The total amount of lipids did not change significantly but the relative proportion of cholesterol and triglycerides altered considerably. Moreover, the transcriptional status decreased but metabolic turn-over increased as revealed by the FT-IR spectra. In addition, changes in the proteome and structural changes in both proteins and the nucleus were observed in the K562/NIL-50 cells. Protein secondary structural analyses revealed that alpha helix structure and random coil structure decreased, however, anti-parallel beta sheet structure, beta sheet structure and turns structure increased. These results indicate that the FT-IR technique provides a method for analyzing drug resistance related structural changes in leukemia and other cancer types.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 15The Roles of Macromolecules in Imatinib Resistance of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Baran, Yusuf; Ceylan, Çağatay; Camgöz, AylinImatinib is a first generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which is used for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. However, resistance to imatinib is an important problem. Different mechanisms have been explained for imatinib resistance. In this study, we examined the roles of macromolecules in imatinib resistance in K562 cells at the molecular level using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. An amount of 3μM imatinib resistant cells were generated by our group and named as K562/IMA-3 cells. Changes in macromolecules in parental and resistant cells were studied by FT-IR spectroscopy. Imatinib resistance caused changes, which indicated decreases in the level of glycogen and increases in the membrane order. The amount of unsaturated lipids increased in the imatinib resistant cells indicating lipid peroxidation. Imatinib resistance caused changes in the lipid/protein ratio. The relative protein content increased with respect to nucleic acids indicating higher transcription and protein expression and structural/organizational changes in the nucleus were evident as revealed by frequency changes in the nucleic acid bands. Changes in the amide bands revealed changes in the proteome of the resistant cells. Protein secondary structural changes indicated that the antiparallel beta sheet's structure increased, however the alpha helix structure, beta sheet structure, random coil structure and turns decreased in the resistant cells. These results indicate that the FT-IR technique provides a suitable method for analyzing drug resistance related structural changes in leukemia and other cancer types.
