OPEN-angle glaucoma , *GENOME-wide association studies , *ANGLE-closure glaucoma , *EXFOLIATION syndrome , *GLAUCOMA - Abstract
This article focuses on the disease of glaucoma and addresses different subtypes of glaucoma, their genetic foundations, and the molecular mechanisms of the disease. Glaucoma is a disease characterized by the degeneration of the optic nerve and is the most common cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Elevated intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor for most types of glaucoma. Primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common subtype of glaucoma globally. While elevated IOP is a significant risk factor for Primary open-angle glaucoma, there are also cases like the normal tension glaucoma subgroup where the elevated intraocular pressure remains within normal limits. Genetically, simple causes such as mutations in genes like myocilin, optineurin and TANK-binding kinase 1, as well as complex genetic factors, can increase the risk of glaucoma development, but they do not solely lead to the disease. Primary Open Angle Glaucoma has been related with ABCA1, AFAP1, GMDS, PMM2, TGFBR3, FNDC3B, ARHGEF12, GAS7, FOXC1, ATXN2, TXNRD2 genes. Primary angle-closure glaucoma is a type of glaucoma that is particularly common in Asian populations. In this type, elevated IOP leads to peripheral iris and trabecular meshwork apposition, preventing the outflow of fluid. Genetically, genes such EPDR1, CHAT, GLIS3, FERMT2, DPM102 have been shown to be associated with this type. However, besides genetic factors, environmental risk factors may also play a role. Exfoliation syndrome is characterized by the accumulation of fibrillar material in the anterior segment of the eye. These deposits can lead to optic nerve degeneration and glaucoma. Genes like LOXL1 and CACNA1A have been identified for Exfoliation syndrome. LOXL1, by affecting elastogenesis and collagen cross-linking, may play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. In conclusion, genetic and genomic studies are aiding in the understanding of glaucoma and identifying potential targets for treatment. These studies have the potential to contribute to the development of gene-based therapies and enhance early diagnosis and access to treatment for patients. However, more research is needed to fully comprehend the complete genetic makeup of glaucoma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

lipids (amino acids, peptides, and proteins) - Abstract
In this study, we examined the effects of alpha lipoic acid treatment on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and investigated the mechanisms underlying the protective action of alpha lipoic acid in diabetic retinal damage which was induced by inflammation and oxidative stress and activation of MAPKs and NF-kappa B signaling pathways. A total of 28 rats were divided into 4 groups: control, diabetes mellitus (45 mg/kg STZ, alpha lipoic acid (100 mg/kg/day, gavage, for 21 days) and diabetes mellitus+ alpha lipoic acid. We measured malondialdehyde, and reduced glutathione levels and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, vascular endothelial growth factor, nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2 levels, inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA levels and MAPK/NF-kappa B protein levels in retina tissue. Alpha lipoic acid enhances antioxidant enzyme activities and inhibits NF-kappa B activation and IKB-alpha degradation, phosphorylation of p38. ERK, and JNK proteins, the expression of inducible nitric oxide and cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA, and production of nitric oxide, vascular endothelial growth factor, and prostaglandin E2. These results suggest that the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of alpha lipoic acid may be important mechanisms involved in the protective effect of alpha lipoic acid on diabetic retinal damage in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Furthermore. alpha lipoic acid markedly reduced retinal injury associated with diabetes, as demonstrated by reduced histological damage of retinal cells.

Işgın (Rheum Ribes L.) Polygonaceae familyasından olan çok yıllık bir bitki olup birçok biyoaktiviteye sahiptir. Bu biyoaktivitelerinden birinin antidiyabetik etki olduğu bilinmektedir. Rheum Ribes L. nin fenolik bileşen profili ve içerdikleri flavanoid yapıları bu bitkiyi potansiyel olarak antioksidan kaynağı yapmaktadır. Diabetes Mellitus hastalığının komplikasyonlarının patogenezinde oksidatif stres önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Çalışmamızda deneysel diyabet oluşturulmuş sıçanlarda Rheum Ribes L. bitkisinin oksidatif stres üzerine etkisi incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada 24 sıçan 4 farklı gruba ayrılmıştır. Grup I kontrol grubudur, Grup II diyabet grubu olup 40 mg/kg intraperitonal olarak Streptozotosin uygulanmıştır. Grup III de ise diyabet oluşturulmuş ve Rheum Ribes L. bitkisinin etanol ekstraktı (50 mg/kg) gavaj yolu ile 15 gün süre ile verilmiştir. Grup IV de diyabet oluşturulmamış ancak bu gruptaki sıçanlara Rheum Ribes L. bitkisinin etanol ekstratı (50 mg/kg) gavaj yolu ile 15 gün verilmiştir. Bu uygulamalar sonucunda sıçanlar sakrifiye edilerek kalp dokusu izole edilmiştir. Bu alınan doku homojenize edilerek elde edilen doku homojenizatında süperoksit dismutaz (SOD), katalaz (KAT) enzim aktivitesi ve malondialdehit (MDA), glutatyon (GSH) düzeyleri incelenmiştir.

Alcohol consumption is a tradition in most cultures but are increasingly being arised as possessing a potential for misuse. Punicalagin is a phenolic compound that is found in forms alpha and beta in pomegranates. In this study, the protective role of punicalagin on oxidative stress, inflammation and DNA damage caused by ethanol (EtOH) in liver tissue were examined. Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups as control, eth, punicalagin, EtOH EtOH + punicalagin. In EtOH groups, rats were treated with EtOH (4g/kg) for 21 days, in punicalagin groups, rats were treated with punicalagin (4 mg/kg) for 21 days. In the liver tissue, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels, in serum AST, ALT, LDH activities and TNF-a, IL-6 levels were measured. Genotoxicity was evaluated using comet assay. Based on these experimental results, while EtOH increased ALT, AST and LDH enzyme activies and induced inflammation and oxidative stress. Punicalagin reduced IL-6, TNF-a, MDA levels, ALT, AST, LDH enzyme activities and increased SOD, CAT activities and GSH levels. EtOH significantly increased the percentage of damaged cells (type II, III and IV) and genetic damage index compared to the other groups (control, punicalagin and EtOH +punicalagin). Punicalagin was not genotoxic compared to the control. Furthermore, punicalagin reduced the genotoxic effect, induced by EtOH, with the sharp decrease in damaged cells (from 14.00±1.22 to 2.20±1.30) and genetic damage index (from 1.20±0.05 to 0.14±0.05). Punicalagin has antioxidant, antiinflammatory and protective role against to ethanol induced liver toxicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ÖZET a-Talasemi ve G6PD Enzim Eksikliğine Neden Olan Mutasyonlann Moleküler Düzeyde İncelenmesi Moleküler Tıp alanındaki hızlı gelişmenin, hastalıkların genetik nedenlerinin çözümlenmesinde, tanı yöntemlerinin geliştirilmesinde, yeni tedavi yöntemlerinin bulunmasında ve dahası hastalıkların oluşumunun engellenmesinde büyük katkıları bulunmuştur. Günümüzde en genel genetik bozukluk olarak bilinen talasemilerden a-talasemi ve enzimopatilerden G6PD eksikliği dünyada olduğu kadar Çukurova Bölgesi'nde de önemli halk sağlığı sorunudur. Çalışmamızda, a-talasemi ve G6PD eksikliği genotipik ve fenotipik olarak incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla, toplam 31 olguda dört delesyonel a-talasemi mutasyonu (MED I, a20`5 a4'2 ve a3'7) PCR yöntemiyle analiz edildi. Olguların hematolojik değişkenleri Coulter Counter kan sayım cihazıyla, Hb tipleri selüloz asetat elektroforeziyle, Hb A2 düzeyleri mikrokolon kromatografisi ve Hb F düzeyleri alkali denatürasyon yöntemiyle analiz edildi. Laboratuvar analizleri sonunda elde edilen genetik ve hematolojik veriler, Diskriminant Fonksiyon Analiziyle değerlendirildi. Çalışmanın G6PD bölümünde gerçekleştirilen analizler tamamen teorik verilerin bilgisayar ortamında biyoinformatik araçlarla analizlerini içermektedir. Bu amaçla, veritabanlarında depolu genetik analizlerle belirlenmiş G6PD mutasyonları ve çeşitli veritabanlarındaki G6PD proteininin yapısal verileri entegre edilerek analiz edildi. PCR yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilen delesyonel a-talasemi mutasyonu analizlerinde toplam 62 kromozomda a4'2 mutasyonuna rastlanmazken, 28'inde a3-7, 17'sinde MED I, l'inde a205 delesyonu tespit edildi. Hematolojik değişkenlerin istatistiksel analizleri sonucunda a-talasemili olguların tanımlanmasında en güçlü değişken olarak MCV ve Hb A2'nin yer aldığı bir diskriminant fonksiyonu türetildi. Analiz edilen G6PD mutasyonlarından (124) ciddi enzim eksikliğine neden olan (Sınıf I) toplam 57 mutasyonun 25'inin (%43,9) ve enzim stabilitesini etkileyen toplam 36 mutasyonun 8'inin (%22,2) dimer arayüzüne karşılık gelen onuncu eksonda kümelenme eğiliminde oldukları tespit edildi. Moleküler bozuklukların klinik, hematolojik ve protein gibi çeşitli düzeylerdeki fenotipik sonuçlarının karşılaştırmalı analizleri yapı fonksiyon ilişkilerinin belirlenmesi yönünde detaylı bilgilerin elde edilmesine olanak sağlamıştır. Anahtar Sözcükler: a-talasemi, Enzimopati,G6PD eksikliği, Mutasyon ıx ABSTRACT Investigation of Mutations Causing a-Thalassemia and G6PD Enzyme Deficiency In Molecular Level Advances in the Molecular Medicine provided valuable contribution to the understanding of the genetic causes of diseases, improvement of the diagnosis, development of new therapeutic methodologies, and moreover prevention of formation of diseases. Today, as in the worldwide, a-thalassemia and G6PD deficiency which are known to be most common genetic abnormality, constitudes important public health problem in Çukurova Region. In this study, a-thalassemia and G6PD deficiency are investigated in genetic and phenotypic manner. For this purpose, a total of 31 cases were investigated for four deletional a- thalassemia mutations (MED I, a205 a4,2 ve a3,7) by PCR method. Hematological parameters, Hb types, Hb A2 and Hb F levels of cases were analysed by Coulter Counter blood count analyser, cellulose asetat electrophoresis, microcolumn chromatography and alkali denaturation, respectively. The genetical and hematological data obtained were analysed by Discriminant Function Analysis. The studies performed for the G6PD part of this thesis include the analyses carried out by computational tools based on completely theoritical data. For this aim, the genetically determined G6PD mutations deposited at the databases and the structural data at various relational databanks were integrated. As a result of the mutation analyses, among 62 chromosomes studied; no a4'2, 28 a3'7, 17 MED I, and 1 a20'5 mutations were identified. Statistical analyses on hematological parameters demonstrated that MCV and Hb A2 are most powerful for the discrimination of a-thalassemia cases, and based on these two parameters a discriminant function were derived. Among the 124 distinct G6PD mutations analysed 57 (50.9 %) mutations were considered in Class I variants. We found that out of the 57 mutations reported for Class I variants 25 (43.9 %) mutations, and out of 36 mutations affecting stability centers 8 mutations (22.2%) tend to cluster in exon 10 which corresponds to the subunit interface in the active G6PD dimer. Comparisons of the molecular defects and its phenotypical consequences at various levels such as clinical, hematological, and structural data provide detailed information regarding the structure function relationships.

Daha önceki çalışmalara göre Abant toplumu (Salmo trutta abanticus ) endemik bir alt tür idi. Rize, Gödene ve Üzüm diğer alt türün (Salmo trutta macrostigma) yerel toplumlarıydı. Gödene ve Melyat deresinde yaşayan toplumların genetik yapılan 15 lokus tarafından kodlanan 8 enzim sistemi ile elektroforez tekniği kullanılarak çalışılmıştır. Bu lokuslardan 3'ü (Aat-4,elektroforez tekniği kullanılarak çalışılmıştır. Bu lokuslardan 3'ü (Aat-4, Ldh-5 ve Mdh-3,4) polimorfîk olarak bulunmuştur. Gödene toplumu Ldh-5 lokusunda 100 ve 110 alellerine, Mdh-3,4 lokusunda ise 85 ve 125 alellerine sahip oluşuyla diğer toplumlardan farklıdır. Bu, Gödene' de Salmo marmaratus ve doğal stokların yakın bir zaman içerisinde hibridleştiklerini akla getirmektedir. Diğer çalışmalara göre daha yüksek ortalama heterozigotluk düzeyi gözlenmiştir. Genetik varyasyona ek olarak, 23 morfometrik ve 5 meristik karakter kullanılarak toplumların morfolojik farklılıkları ve ayrışım fonksiyonu analizi ile toplumların morfolojik ilişkileri incelenmiştir. Bu analizde toplumların morfometrik ve meristik karakterlerin beraber kullanımıyla en doğru sınıflandırma (%93.3) elde edildi. Çalışılan karakterlerden anal ışınlan ve solungaç dikenleri toplumları ayırıcı en iyi ayırtaç olarak bulundu. Toplum ortalamalarının birbirlerinden anlamlı (P

- Abstract
Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of ATP-sensitive potassium (K
ATP ) channel, Na+ /K+ -ATPase activity, and intracellular calcium levels on the vasodilatory effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in thoracic aorta by using electrophysiological and molecular techniques. Methods: Rat thoracic aorta ring preparations and cultured thoracic aorta cells were divided into four groups as control, 2 mM NAC, 5 mM NAC, and 10 mM NAC. Thoracic aorta rings were isolated from rats for measurements of relaxation responses and Na+ /K+ -ATPase activity. In the cultured thoracic aorta cells, we measured the currents of KATP channel, the concentration of intracellular calcium and mRNA expression level of KATP channel subunits (KCNJ8, KCNJ11, ABCC8 and ABCC9). Results: The relaxation rate significantly increased in all NAC groups compared to control. Similarly, Na+ /K+ -ATPase activity also significantly decreased in NAC groups. Outward KATP channel current significantly increased in all NAC groups compared to the control group. Intracellular calcium concentration decreased significantly in all groups with compared control. mRNA expression level of ABCC8 subunit significantly increased in all NAC groups compared to the control group. Pearson correlation analysis showed that relaxation rate was significantly associated with KATP current, intracellular calcium concentration, Na+ /K+ -ATPase activity and mRNA expression level of ABCC8 subunit. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that NAC relaxes vascular smooth muscle cells through a direct effect on KATP channels, by increasing outward K+ flux, partly by increasing mRNA expression of KATP subunit ABCC8, by decreasing in intracellular calcium and by decreasing in Na+ /K+ -ATPase activity.- Published
