    Biophysical Evaluation of Physiological Effects of Gilthead Sea Bream (sparus Aurata) Farming Using Ftir Spectroscopy
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Ceylan, Çağatay; Tanrıkul, Tansel; Özgener, Hüseyin
    Sparus aurata is one of the two most important cultured fish species in the Mediterranean region. The present work investigates the effects of culturing in S. aurata liver tissue at the molecular level using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. FTIR spectroscopy revealed dramatic differences between the wild and aquacultured fish liver cells, which mainly indicated that the level of glycogen increased in the aquacultured samples and the protein/lipid ratio decreased by 42.29% indicating that triglycerides and cholesterol esters increased and the protein content decreased in the aquacultured samples. The 15.99% increase in the level of unsaturation indicated elevated lipid peroxidation. Structural/organisational changes in the nucleic acids along with increased transcriptional status of the liver tissue cells were observed in the cultured fish tissue. All these results indicated that culturing induces significant changes in fish physiology. In addition FTIR spectroscopy is a promising method to monitor the physiological changes in fish physiology.

    Quantification of Staphylococcus Aureus in White Cheese by the Improved Dna Extraction Strategy Combined With Taqman and Lna Probe-Based Qpcr
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Kadiroğlu, Pınar; Korel, Figen; Ceylan, Çağatay
    Four different bacterial DNA extraction strategies and two different qPCR probe chemistries were studied for detection of Stapylococcus aureus from white cheeses. Method employing trypsin treatment followed by a commercial kit application and TaqMan probe-based qPCR was the most sensitive one detecting higher counts than standards in naturally contaminated samples.

    The Roles of Macromolecules in Imatinib Resistance of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Baran, Yusuf; Ceylan, Çağatay; Camgöz, Aylin
    Imatinib 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.

    Humidity Adsorption Kinetics of a Trypsin Gel Film
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Okur, Salih; Ceylan, Çağatay; Çulcular, Evren
    This study focuses on the humidity adsorption kinetics of an isopropanol-induced and pH-triggered bovine pancreatic trypsin gel (BPTG). The BPTG was adsorbed on a gold coated Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) substrate with a thickness of 376nm. The morphology of the film was characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). QCM was used to investigate the humidity sensing properties of the BPTG film. The response of the humidity sensor was explained using the Langmuir model. The average values of adsorption and desorption rates between 11% RH (relative humidity) and 97% RH were calculated as 2482.5M -1s -1 and 0.02s -1, respectively. The equilibrium constant and average Gibbs Free Energy of humidity adsorption and desorption cycles were obtained as 133,000 and -11.8kJ/mol, respectively. © 2011 Elsevier Inc..

    Biophysical and Microbiological Study of High Hydrostatic Pressure Inactivation of Bovine Viral Diarrheavirus Type 1 on Serum
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Ceylan, Çağatay; Severcan, Feride; Özkul, Aykut; Severcan, Mete; Bozoğlu, Faruk; Taheri, Nusret
    The effect of high hydrostatic pressure application on fetal bovine serum components and the model microorganism (Bovine Viral Diarrheavirus type 1 NADL strain) was studied at 132 and 220MPa pressure for 5min at 25°C. Protein secondary structures were found to be unaffected by an artificial neural network application on the amide I region for both untreated and HHP treated samples. FTIR spectroscopy study of both the HHP-treated and control samples revealed changes in the intensity of some bands in the finger-print region (1500-900cm -1) originating mainly from lipids which are thought to result from changes in the lipoprotein structure. The virus strain lost its infectivity completely after 220MPa HHP treatments. These results indicate that HHP can be successfully used for inactivation of pestiviruses while leaving structural and functional properties of serum and serum products unaffected. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

    Segment 10 Based Molecular Epidemiology of Bluetongue Virus (btv) Isolates From Turkey: 1999-2001
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Özkul, Aykut; Ertürk, Arife; Çalışkan, Elvin; Saraç, Fahriye; Ceylan, Çağatay; Mertens, Peter; Kabaklı, Özden; Dinçer, Ender; Çizmeci, Şirin G.
    Bluetongue is a significant arbovirus infection that has a negative impact on ruminant productivity in Turkey. Twenty-one Turkish BTV isolates were analyzed phylogenetically, based on genome segment 10 (Seg-10) nucleotide sequences. These analyses were used to explore the epidemiological background of individual isolates from both a regional and global perspective. In the regional analysis, the different BTV strains fell into two groups (Group 1 and Group 2). The Turkish virus isolates were localized in Group 1 which contains two sub-groups. The neighbor-joining analysis revealed that Seg-10 of majority of the Turkish viruses was closely related to certain other virus strains allocated in the eastern lineage. The Seg-10's of two viruses (TR25 and TR26) were more closely related to strains isolated in the Asia-Australia region. These strains belong to the 'eastern' topotype identified by [Maan, S., Maan, N.S., Ross-Smith, N., Batten, C.A., Shaw, A.E., Anthony, S.J., Samuel, A.R., Darpel, K.E., Veronesi, E., Oura, C.A.L., Singh,K.P., Nomikou, K., Potgieter, A.C., Attoui, H., van Rooij, E., van Rijn, P., De Clercq, K., Vandenbussche, F., Zientara, S., Bréard, E., Sailleau, C., Beer, M., Hoffman, B., Mellor, P.S., Mertens, P.P.C., 2008. Sequence analysis of bluetongue virus serotype 8 from the Netherlands 2006 and comparison to other European strains. Virology 377, 308-318]. Comparisons of amino acid sequences deduced from the Seg-10 genes showed a high level of conservation in the NS3/3A proteins from the Turkish viruses. The more frequent amino acid substitutions were identified by multiple alignment analysis, and one of the isolates (TR23) was remarkably found to be genetically quite distinct from the other isolates.
