HER2 positive breast cancer , *PROPOLIS , *BREAST cancer , *CANCER cells , *CELL lines - Abstract
Natural products have been focused by researchers due to their important anticarcinogenic characteristics in the treatment of cancer with the slightest side effects possible. Propolis is one of the most prominent candidates among these natural products in terms of its anticancer features. In this study we aim to research the effects of Anatolian propolis on ER/PR-, HER-2/neu+ human breast cancer cell line SK-BR-3 with intent to clarify the molecular mechanism propolis in HER+ breast cancers in overview of whole genomic expression for the first time via a microarray experiment. Afterwards, microarray data was validated via real time PCR with the selected genes. After performing bioinformatic analysis via GeneSpring Software and String analysis, a 50 ^g/mL dose of propolis affected several pathways of HER-2 positive breast cancer cells including cell cycle, DNA repair and apoptosis especially at 48th hour exposure. In contrast, after exposure to 50 ^g/mL dose of propolis, up-regulated genes were detected at diverse pathways such as immune response, cell migration regulation, organization of cell-cell adhesion, etc. For this reason, we proposed that polyphenol-rich propolis can be used in the treatment of HER-2 positive breast cancer with characteristics of less toxic than the current treatment methods.

Background/aim: Clinical exacerbations characterized with neurological symptoms are observed in around 10% of Behçet's disease (BD) patients and may culminate in severe disability. Although certain immunological factors have been associated with disease activity in neuro-Behçet's disease (NBD), biomarkers for monitoring the clinical outcome of NBD have not been properly investigated. Materials and methods: Levels of neurofilament light chain (NFL), homeobox protein Hox-B3 (HoxB3), and YKL-40 were measured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples of 23 parenchymal (n = 16) and nonparenchymal (n = 7) NBD patients obtained during NBD attacks by ELISA. Parameters of clinical progression and outcome were assessed for an average follow-up period of 3.9 ± 1.3 years. Results: Parenchymal NBD patients showed elevated CSF levels of NFL, HoxB3, and YKL-40 as compared to nonparenchymal patients. NBD patients showing an increase in modified Rankin score (mRS) values during follow-up had significantly higher CSF NFL levels. Patients with relatively lower CSF NFL levels (<1000 ng/L) did not develop attacks or cognitive impairment interfering with daily life activities during follow-up. NFL levels correlated with disease duration and mRS at the last follow-up visit, while HoxB3 levels correlated with a number of attacks during follow-up. Conclusion: CSF level of NFL appears to predict the prospective somatic and cognitive disability in NBD patients and may thus be potentially used as a biomarker of clinical outcome in this disease.

İnflamatuvar Barsak Hastalığı (IBH), çevresel, enfeksiyöz, genetik, otoimmün etkenlerden oluştuğu bildirilen bir hastalıktır. IBH' da luminal değişimlere karşı intestinal mukozanın kendini koruma yetersizliği söz konusudur ve kronik inflamasyon bu hastalığın ayırt edici özelliklerindendir. En fazla görülme yaşı, 15-25 veya 55-65 arasıdır. Adipoz doku ve elemanları birçok proteinin (adipositokin) salgılanmasını ve böylece metabolizma ve inflamasyon gibi çeşitli biyolojik fonksiyonların düzenlenmesini sağlar. Leptin öncelikli olarak spesifik hipotalamik yollardan enerji düzeylerine ve nöroendokrin fonksiyonlara etki etmektedir. Ancak leptin direnci moleküler düzeyde yeteri kadar anlaşılamamıştır. Ghrelin, ghrelin hormonu endojen reseptörünün ligandı olarak bilinmekte ve kendine özgü reseptöre bağlanarak hücre içi kalsiyum konsantrasyonlarını arttırmakta, büyüme hormonu salgılanmasına neden olmakta ve birçok fizyolojik etkisini bu yolla göstermektedir. Resistin periferik sinyal molekülü olarak tanınmakta ve inflamatuar barsak hastalığı açısından risk durumu son yıllarda araştırılmaktadır. Potansiyel letal inflamasyonda rol oynadığı bilinen sitokinlerden tümör nekroz faktörü-alfa (TNF-α)’nın etkisi insanlarda araştırılmakta ve özellikle inflamatuar barsak hastalığı patogenezinde kritik bir rol oynadığı bildirilmektedir.Epidermal growth factor (EGF), epiteliyal gelişimi, gastrik asid salınımını ve anjiyogenezi teşvik eden multipotent bir peptidtir. Bazı çalışmalarda EGF'in inflamatuar barsak hastalığında mukozanın hasara veya doku tamirine yatkınlığını etkileyen belirteçlerden biri olduğu belirtilmiştir. Araştırmamız ile panel olarak ve ilk defa bir arada çalışılacak olan leptin, ghrelin, resistin, EGF ve TNF-α belirteçlerine ait verilerin, literatürlerle uygun olarak sonuç alınmıştır., Inflammatuary Bowel Disease ( IBD) is a disease reported that occurs from environmental, infectious, genetic and autoimmune factors. In IBD, there is a lack of self-protection of intestinal mucosa against luminal changes. Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of this disease. The most common age ranges are between 15-25 and 55-65. Adipose tissue and the elements of it, provides the secretion of many proteins (adipocytokines) and thus, regulation of the biologic functions like metabolism and inflammation. Leptin affects energy levels and neuroendocrine functions of spesific hypothalamic pathways primarily. But molecular means of leptin resistance is not understood enough yet. Ghrelin is known as ligand of ghrelin hormone’s endogenous receptor. It increases calcium concentrations by binding specific receptors. It leads to secretion of growth hormone and thus has many physiological effects.Recently discovered resistin, is a hormone secreted by fat cells. It is recognized as a peripheric signal molecule and the status of risk about IBD is being investigated in recent years. The effect of Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), known as a cytokine which is playing a role in potential lethal inflammation, is under investigation in human and it is reported that TNF-α especially plays a critical role in IBD pathogenesis. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a multipotent peptide that promotes epithelial growth, gastric acid secretion and angiogenesis. In some studies, EGF is indicated that it is one of the markers affecting mucosa’s susceptibility to damage and tissue repair in IBD.The data belongs to our research are corelated with the literatures. Studying of leptin, ghelin, resistin, EGF and TNF-α markers will be studied together for the first time and as a panel.

PROPOLIS ,BREAST cancer ,PHENOLS ,ANTINEOPLASTIC agents ,LIQUID chromatography - Abstract
Researchers have started focusing on investigating the anticarcinogenic effects of natural products with the slightest side effects possible, because current breast cancer treatment approaches are unable to achieve absolute success especially on aggressive subtypes. Propolis is among these products with its antimicrobial, antifungal, anti‐inflammatory, and anticancer effects. Therefore, seven different samples were collected from different regions (Argentina, China, and Istanbul‐Turkey) and applied on nonaggressive breast cancer cell line (BCCL) MCF‐7 and aggressive cell lines SK‐BR‐3, and MDA‐MB‐231. Initially, the phenolic/flavonoid constituents of the propolis ethanol extracts were investigated by liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry–mass spectrometry (LS‐MS/MS) and high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses. Then, the anticarcinogenic effects of the propolis samples on MCF‐7, SK‐BR‐3, MDA‐MB‐231 were evaluated by WST1 analysis and only selected ones on MCF‐10A and hPdLF. According to the LS‐MS/MS and HPLC analysis, Turkey originated propolis (Turkey3) were found to be richer than the other propolis samples in terms of phenolic/flavonoid compounds. Turkey propolis significantly inhibited cell proliferation in both nonaggressive and aggressive BCCL (P < 0.01). Therefore, Turkey3 propolis was selected for further evaluation using Annexin V‐PI apoptosis detection assays. In addition, selected compounds among the propolis contents such as galangin, caffeic acid, apigenin, quercetin, and ferulic acid were applied to the MCF‐7 cell line to detect cytotoxic and apoptotic effects. Galangin, caffeic acid, apigenin, and quercetin remarkably induced cell proliferation inhibition at all time intervals, whereas ferulic acid was found non efficient on the MCF‐7 cell line. Annexin V‐PI assay clarified that all cell proliferation inhibitions were markedly apoptotic. Our findings indicated that the inhibition effect of propolis on breast cancer cell proliferation was in a propolis type‐, dose‐ and time‐dependent fashion. Turkey3 propolis showed statistically significant cytotoxic effects on both the nonaggressive and aggressive BCCL. These findings were consistent with the effects of its rich phenolic and flavonoid contents, in terms of variety. © 2018 IUBMB Life, 71(5):619–631, 2019 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Since the discovery of the central role of cyclooxygenase (COX) in the metabolism of arachidonic acid, vascular biologists have been exposed with the duality of this system. Essentially, one substrate (arachidonic acid) converted by one enzyme (COX) yields end products (endoperoxides) that obtain only very briefly before being metabolized to more stable prostanoids by a group of specific synthases that were primarily believed to be tissue specific. For example, thrombocytes include mainly the synthase that produces thromboxane A2 (proaggregatory and vasoconstrictor substance), though endothelial cells contain mainly the enzyme that produces prostacyclin (antiaggregatory and vasodilator substance). The overproduction of thromboxane A2 by thrombocytes induces to thrombosis. Endothelial cells lean against vascular occlusion by producing prostacyclin. This duality of the metabolism of arachidonic acid has ruled over our thinking about atherothrombosis for decades. Based on the review of these studies, we will discuss association between cyclooxygenase enzyme and endothelial dysfunction. GENEL BİLGİ Siklooksijenazlar, araşidonik asitin prostanoidlere ve diğer eikosanoidlere dönüşümünü katalizleyen enzimlerdir (1). Yapılan bilimsel çalışmalar ile birlikte siklooksijenazın COX-1 ve COX-2 adlı iki izoformunun olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır . COX-1’in başlangıçta pozitif etkili konstitütif izoform olduğu düşünülürken, COX-2’nin ağırlıklı olarak inflamatuar yanıtlarda yer alan negatif etkili bir enzim olduğu düşünülmüştür (3). Bununla birlikte, yakın zamanlarda yapılan çalışmalarla, COX-2 inhibitörlerinin yaygın kullanımından kaynaklanan kardiyovasküler hastalıklar için artmış risk bulunması ile COX-2 ürünlerinin koruyucu rol oynadıkları ve bu değerlendirilemeyeceği önerilmiştir. Benzer şekilde, araşidonik asit metabolizmasının COX-1 tarafından başlatılmasının, vasküler koruma açısından aslında çok da pozitif bir rolünün olmadığı konusunda kanıtlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu sonuçlar, Siklooksijenazın (COX) araşidonik asit metabolizmasındaki büyük rolünün keşfinden beri vasküler biyologlar bu sistemin ikili fonksiyon özelliği ile karşı karşıya kalmışlardır. Gerçekten de, bir enzim (COX) tarafından dönüştürülen substrat (araşidonik asit), başlangıçta dokuya özgü olduğu inanılan bir dizi özel sentez tarafından daha kararlı prostanoidlere metabolize edilmeden önce, sadece çok kısa bir süre varolan son ürünler (endoperoksitler) üretirler. Örneğin trombositler temel olarak, tromboksan A2 (proagregan ve vazokonstriktör madde) üreten sentaz içerirlerken, endotelyal hücreler temel olarak prostasiklin (antiagregan ve vazodilatatör madde) oluşturan enzim içermektedirler. Trombositler tarafından tromboksan A2'nin aşırı üretilmesi tromboza yol açmakta; ters etki olarak da endotelyal hücrelerden prostasiklin üretilmesi vasküler tıkanmaya karşı koymaktadır. Araşidonik asit metabolizmasının bu ikili fonksiyon özelliği, yıllar boyunca aterotromboz hakkındaki düşüncelere ve çalışmalara yoğunlaşmayı sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmalardan yola çıkarak derlemede, siklooksijenaz enzimi ve endotel disfonksiyonu arasındaki ilişki tartışılacaktır.

Tip 2 diyabet ve koroner arter hastalığında, klinik heterojenite ve genetik faktörlerin önemi uzun zamandan beri dikkat çekmektedir. Son yıllarda yapılan gerek epidemiyolojik gerekse de moleküler düzeydeki araştırmalar bu hastalıkların gelişiminde genetik faktörlerin etkin rol oynayabileceğini gösteren çeşitli kanıtlar sunmaktadır. Son zamanlarda bunlar arasında özellikle inflamasyon ve homeostaz ilişkili siklooksijenaz gibi genetik faktörler çok sayıda araştırmacı tarafından ön planda tutulmaktadır. Siklooksijenaz (COX) enzimleri hücre içerisinde araşidonik asitten prostanoidlerin oluşumunda görev alırlar. Bu enzimlerden COX-1, araşidonik asitten prostaglandin oluşturan konstitütif olarak eksprese edilmiş bir enzimdir. Fizyolojik uyarılarla devamlı olarak aktiftir ve bu aktivasyona bağlı olarak araşidonik asitten TXA2 ve PGI2 metabolitleri üretilmektedir. TXA2 direkt etkisiyle trombositleri aktive ederek onların agregasyonuna ve adezyonuna neden olur. PGI2 ise, TXA2'nin aksine vazodilatör etkiye sahiptir. COX-1 lokusunda çok çeşitli genetik varyasyonlar tanımlanmıştır. Bunlardan biri 2. ekzonda görülen ve Pro17Leu (P17L) aminoasit değişimine sebep olan C50T polimorfizmidir. Yapılan çalışmalarda, tam bağlantı analizi ile belirlenen A-842G ve C50T polimorfizmleri, asetilsalisilik asidin (aspirin) etkisinin artması ile ilişkilendirilmiş ve varyasyon doğal tiple kıyaslandığında çok daha düşük prostaglandin sentez kapasitesine sahip olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu bilgiler ışığında çalışmamızda, Tip 2 Diyabet ve Koroner Arter Hastalığı üzerinde COX-1 geni C50T polimorfizminin etkilerinin incelenmesi, COX-1, TXA2 ve PGI2 gibi araşidonik asit metabolizması ile ilişkili mediyatörlerin serum düzeylerinin gösterilmesi ve varyasyonun Türk toplumundaki dağılımlarının belirlenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaçla çalışmamız 96 tip 2 diyabet ve 75 koroner arter hasta grubu ve 98 sağlıklı kontrol grubu olmak üzere 3 gruptan oluşturulmuştur. COX-1 geni C50T polimorfizmini (rs3842787) saptayabilmek için; ilgili gen sekansı Nested PCR ile çoğaltılmış, RFLP yöntemi ile varyasyon tespit edilmiş ve validasyon için DNA dizi analiz cihazı ile dizilemesi yapılmıştır. Ayrıca COX-1, TXA2 ve PGI2 düzeyleri ELISA yöntemi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. TXA2 ve PGI2 üretiminin göstergesi olarak stabil metabolitleri olan TXB2 ve 6-keto-PGF1?'nın serum düzeyleri ölçülmüştür.Deneysel çalışmalarımız sonucunda, COX-1 geni C50T polimorfizmine ait genotip frekansları tip 2 diyabet hasta grubunda; CC % 94,8, CT % 5,2, TT %0 iken, koroner arter hasta grubunda; CC % 96, CT % 4, TT % 0 ve kontrol grubunda; CC % 93,9, CT % 6,1, TT % 0 olarak saptanmıştır. Her üç grubun COX-1 geni C50T polimorfizmi genotip ve allel frekansları açısından karşılaştırıldığında, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilememiştir (p>0,05). Çalışma grupları arasında COX-1, TXB2 ve 6-keto-PGF1? serum düzeyleri açısından karşılaştırıldığında; koroner arter ve tip 2 diyabet hasta grubunda bu serum düzeyleri kontrol grubuna göre düşük oranda gözlemlenmiş olup; aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p0,05).Çalışmamızdan elde ettiğimiz veriler doğrultusunda, haplotipe sahip bu polimorfizmin, aspirine karşı olumlu veya olumsuz reaksiyonlarla ilişkili olup olmadığı ve aynı zamanda farmakolojik olarak fonksiyona etkisi tam olarak belirlenememiştir. Nadir allel -842G/50T için homozigot olan bir bireyde etki ne olurdu henüz bilmiyoruz; çünkü bizim populasyonumuzun yaygın olarak doğal tip homozigotlardan oluştuğunu tespit ettik. Bu haplotipin, aspirin terapisinin terapötik veya olumsuz yanıtları ile ilişkili olup olmadığını belirlemek için daha büyük katılımcı hasta gruplarının kullanımı ile gelecekte yapılacak araştırmalara ihtiyaç vardır. The importance of clinic heterogeneity and genetic factors in type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease has been pointed out for a long time. Recently, epidemiologic and molecular studies have shown evidence on genetic factors playing efficient role on the disease progression. Especially inflammation and homeostasis related genetic factors such as cyclooxygenase efficiency is widely studied. Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes catalyze the generation of prostanoids from arachidonic acid. A member of this enzyme family COX-1, catalyses prostaglandin generation from arachidonic acid, is constitutively expressed. It is kept constantly active with physiological stimulations which enable the TXA2 and PGI2 production from arachidonic acid. TXA2 directly activates platelets which lead to their aggregation and adhesion. On the other hand PGI2 has a potent vasodilator effect. Several genetic variations have been described in COX-1 locus such as the C50T polymorphism causing the Pro17Leu (P17L) substitution in exon 2. The A-842G and C50T polymorphisms, specifically determined with full linkage analysis, are associated with increased acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) efficiency which was shown to be caused by decreased prostaglandin synthesis capacity compared to the wild type. Taking up from there, in this study it was aimed to determine the effect of COX-1 C50T polymorphism on arachidonic acid metabolism related mediators such as COX-1, TXA2 and PGI2 in type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease and also the distribution of the variation in Turkish population. With this perspective, in this study, 3 groups were included which were comprised of 96 type 2 diabetes and 75 coronary artery disease patients and 98 healthy controls. In order to determine the COX-1 gene C50T polymorphism (rs3842787), the related gene sequence was multiplied with Nested PCR method; the variation was identified with the RFLP technique and sequenced with a DNA sequence analysis device for validation. Furthermore, COX-1, TXA2 and PGI2 levels were evaluated using ELISA method. Serum levels of PGI2 and TXA2 were measured by their stable metabolites of 6-keto-PGF1? and TXB2. As the result of our study, COX-1 C50T polymorphism CC, CT and TT genotype frequencies in type 2 diabetes patient group was determined as 94.8%, 5.2%, 0% where in coronary artery disease patient group 96 %, 4%, 0% and in the control group 93.9%, 6.1%, 0%, respectively. When COX-1 C50T polymorphism genotypes and allele frequencies compared in all three groups, no statistically significant difference was detected (p>0.05). When study groups compared for TXB2 and 6-keto- PGF1? serum levels, coronary artery and type 2 diabetes patient group's serum levels were found to be statistically significantly lower than the control group (p0,05).The positive or negative association with aspirin related reactions and the effect on the pharmacogenetic function of this polymorphism could have not been determined considering the data gathered from this study. We do not know what kind of an impact it would have to be the rare -842G/50T variants homozygote carrier, since our population was determined to be comprised of wild type carriers generally. In order to detect the effect of this haplotype on therapeutic or adverse effects of aspirin therapy, further studies and greater patients groups are required. 152

- Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the gene expression levels of elastin and fibulin-5 according to differences between carotid plaque regions and to correlate it with clinical features of plaque destabilization., Materials and Methods: The study included 44 endarterectomy specimens available from operated symptomatic carotid artery stenoses. The specimens were separated according to anatomic location: internal carotid artery (ICA), external carotid artery (ECA) and common carotid artery (CCA), and then stored in liquid nitrogen. The amounts of cDNA for elastin and fibulin-5 were determined by Quantitative real-time PCR (Q-RT-PCR). Target gene copy numbers were normalized using hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT1) gene. The delta-delta CT method was applied for relative quantification., Results: Q-RT-PCR data showed that relative fibulin-5 gene expression was increased in ICA plaque regions when compared to CCA regions but not reaching significance (p=0.061). At the same time, no differences were observed in elastin mRNA level between different anatomic plaque regions (p>0.05). Moreover, elastin and fibulin-5 mRNA expression and clinical parameters were compared in ICA plaques versus CCA and ECA regions, respectively. Up-regulation of elastin and fibulin-5 mRNA levels in ICA were strongly correlated with family history of cardiovascular disease when compared to CCA (p<0.05). Up-regulation of fibulin-5 in ICA was significantly associated with diabetes, and elevated triglycerides and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) when compared to ECA (p<0.05)., Conclusion: The clinical significance is the differences between the proximal and distal regions of the lesion, associated with the ICA, CCA and ECA respectively, with increased fibulin-5 in the ICA region., (Copyright © 2015 International Institute of Anticancer Research (Dr. John G.

- Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to analyze the relation between uterine leiomyoma (ULM) patients and p.Q192R polymorphism., Materials and Methods: ULM patients (n=76) and healthy women (n=103) were recruited from the Yeditepe University, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics. The genotype and allele distribution of p.Q192R was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism methods. Genotype and allele frequencies between study groups were calculated by the chi-square (χ(2)) and Fischer's exact test., Results: The frequency of the B allele was lower in patients (p<0.001) and the AB genotype showed a decreased risk for ULM development (p<0.001). The variation was unrelated to ULM size and number. There was no significant difference between p.Q192R genotype frequencies and fibroid size and number., Conclusion: The heterogeneous AB genotype of PON1 p.Q192R variation could be recognized as a low-risk parameter for the development of ULM in Turkish women., (Copyright © 2015 International Institute of Anticancer Research (Dr. John G.

- Abstract
Background/aim: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the development of certain neuropsychiatric disorders. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity has been suggested to be adversely related to oxidative stress in plasma. The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the relationship between serum PON1 activity and PON1 192 polymorphism in panic disorder (PD)., Materials and Methods: Fourty-two patients with PD and 46 healthy controls were included in this study. PON1 192 genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis. PON1 activity was measured by spectrophotometric assay of p-nitrophenol production following the addition of paraoxon., Results: PON1 192 AA genotype and A allele in PD were significantly higher than in the control group, whereas the B allele was found to be significantly higher in the control group. Patients with panic disorder have lower PON1 activity than the control group., Conclusion: The PON1 192 AA genotype may increase the risk of PD depending on lipid peroxidation., (Copyright © 2015 International Institute of Anticancer Research (Dr. John G.
