Öğe The cell fate: senescence or quiescence(Springer, 2016) Terzi, Menderes Yusuf; Izmirli, Muzeyyen; Gogebakan, BulentSenescence and quiescence are frequently used as interchangeable terms in the literature unwittingly. Despite the fact that common molecules play role in decision of cell cycle arrest, senescent and quiescent cells have some distinctive phenotypes at both molecular and morphological levels. Thus, in this review we summarized the features of senescence and quiescence with respect to visual characteristics and prominent key molecules. A PubMed research was conducted for the key words; senescence'', quiescence'' and cell cycle arrest''. The results which are related to cell cycle control were selected. The selection criteria of the target articles used for this review included also key cell cycle molecules such as p53, pRB, p21, p16, mTOR, p27, etc. The results were not evaluated statistically. The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) has been claimed to be key molecule in switching on/off senescence/quiescence. Specifically, although maximal p53 activation blocks mTOR and causes quiescence, partial p53 activation sustains mTOR activity and causes senescence subsequently. In broader perspective, quiescence occurs due to lack of nutrition and growth factors whereas senescence takes place due to aging and serious DNA damages. Contrary to quiescence, senescence is a degenerative process ensuing a certain cell death. We highlighted several differences between senescence and quiescence and their key molecules in this review. Whereas quiescence (cell cycle arrest) is only one half of the senescence, the other half is growth stimulation which causes actual senescence phenotype.Öğe Do Fasudil and Y-27632 affect the level of transient receptor potential (TRP) gene expressions in breast cancer cell lines?(Springer, 2014) Gogebakan, Bulent; Bayraktar, Recep; Suner, Ali; Balakan, Ozan; Ulasli, Mustafa; Izmirli, Muzeyyen; Oztuzcu, SerdarBreast cancer (BC) is the most frequent cancer type in women, and the mortality rate is high especially in metastatic disease. Ion channels such as the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels correlate with malignant growth and cancer progression. Hence, some authors have suggested that the expression levels of TRP channels may be used as a marker in the diagnosis and predicting the prognosis of BC. Also, in some recent studies, targeting TRP channels are suggested as a novel treatment strategy in BC. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two Rho-kinase (ROCK) inhibitors, fasudil and Y-27632, on the expression levels of TRP channel genes in breast cancer cell lines (ZR-75-1, MCF7, and MDA-MB-231) and breast epithelial cell line (hTERT-HME1). The expression levels of TRP genes were determined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). We found that fasudil had reduced the TRPC1, TRPV2 expression levels in the ZR-75-1, MCF7, and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. On the other hand, fasudil and Y-27632 had reduced TRPM6 expression levels in all cell lines. Y-27632 increased the expression levels of TRPC7 in all cell lines. In conclusion, this is the first study demonstrating that the inhibition of ROCK pathway changes the expression levels of some TRP genes. Also, our study has firstly shown that the expression levels of the TRP genes which are suggested as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in BC, were changed with the treatment of fasudil and Y-27632.Öğe Investigation of the Effect of Verapamil on Hepatic Ischemia Reperfusion Injury(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016) Dokuyucu, Recep; Dogan, Hatice; Izmirli, Muzeyyen; Bilgic, Nilufer; Gokce, Hasan[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism in psoriasis in southern Turkey(Soc Brasileira Dermatologia, 2016) Izmirli, Muzeyyen; Sen, Bilge Bulbul; Rifaioglu, Eminenur; Gogebakan, Bulent; Aldemir, Ozgur; Sen, Tuba; Ekiz, OzlemBackground: Psoriasis is a multigenic and multifactorial dermatological disease linked to cardiovascular diseases. Increased levels of homocysteine in patients with psoriasis have been demonstrated in many studies. The most frequently investigated genetic defect that plays a role in homocysteine metabolism is single point substitution (C to T) located on the 677th nucleotide of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR). Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate methylenetetrahydrofolate C677T polymorphism in psoriasis patients in Turkey. Methods: The study included 96 patients with psoriasis and 77 controls from southern Turkey. Methylenetetrahydrofolate C677T polymorphism was analysed using the Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism methods. Results: In the psoriasis group, 34 CC (35.4%), 46 CT (47.9%) and 16 TT (16.7%) genotypes were found, respectively; while in the control group, the figures were 39 (50.6%), 35 (45.5%), 3 (3.9%). Homozygote and heterozygote T alleles of methylenetetrahydrofolate C677T polymorphism were significantly higher in the psoriasis than in the control group (p=0.013). Conclusion: We firstly found a correlation between methylenetetrahydrofolate C677T polymorphism and psoriasis among the southern Turkish population.Öğe The Role of Lidocaine on Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin (TRPM) 6,7 Channels in Hepatic Ischemia/Reperfusion Rat Model(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016) Dokuyucu, Recep; Tutuk, Okan; Dogan, Hatice; Izmirli, Muzeyyen; Bilgic, Nilufer; Gokce, Hasan[Abstract Not Available]Öğe SIRT1 Gene Polymorphisms Affect the Protein Expression in Cardiovascular Diseases(Public Library Science, 2014) Kilic, Ulkan; Gok, Ozlem; Bacaksiz, Ahmet; Izmirli, Muzeyyen; Elibol-Can, Birsen; Uysal, OmerCardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death worldwide, is related to gene-environment interactions due to epigenetic factors. SIRT1 protein and its downstream pathways are critical for both normal homeostasis and protection from CVD-induced defects. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between SIRT1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs7895833 A>G in the promoter region, rs7069102 C>G in intron 4 and rs2273773 C>T in exon 5 silent mutation) and SIRT1 and eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) protein expression as well as total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) in CVD patients as compared to controls. The frequencies of mutant genotypes and alleles for rs7069102 and rs2273773 were significantly higher in patients with CVD compared to control group. The risk for CVD was increased by 2.4 times for rs7069102 and 1.9 times for rs2273773 in carriers of mutant allele compared with carriers of wild-type allele pointing the protective role of C allele for both SNPs against CVD. For rs7895833, there was no significant difference in genotype and allele distributions between groups. SIRT1 protein, TAS, TOS and OSI levels significantly increased in patients as compared to control group. In contrast, level of eNOS protein was considerably low in the CVD patients. An increase in the SIRT1 expression in the CVD patients carrying mutant genotype for rs7069102 and heterozygote genotype for all three SNPs was observed. This is the first study reporting an association between SIRT1 gene polymorphisms and the levels of SIRT1 and eNOS expressions as well as TAS, TOS and OSI.Öğe The Spectrum of ?-Thalassemia Mutations in Hatay, Turkey: Reporting Three New Mutations(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Aldemir, Ozgur; Izmirli, Muzeyyen; Kaya, Hasanbeta-Thalassemia (beta-thal) is an important health problem in Hatay, Southern Turkey, because of its high carrier frequency and the frequency of consanguinity. The aim of this study was to reveal the spectrum of P-thal mutations and to provide a foundation for prenatal genetic testing that will be a part of an effective prevention program for 13-thal disease in Hatay. We determined the spectrum of 13-thal mutations in 93 unrelated affected patients. Using a direct sequencing method, we identified a large number of beta-thal mutations. We found different results from other parts of Turkey. A total of 16 different 0-thal mutations were characterized in the parents. The most common mutations were: IVS-I-110 (G>A), IVS-I-6 (T>C), IVS-I-1 (G>A), frameshift codon (FSC) 8 (-AA), codon 39 (C>T) and IVS-II-745 (C>G). Since our region has seen many Syrian and Iraqi immigrants, we report that the prevalence of the thalassemia traits are different from other regions of Turkey. Our study demonstrates the spectrum of 1S-thal mutations in the Hatay region, and that there was great molecular heterogeneity.
