Publication Metadata only Exogenous L-Arginine and HDL Can Alter LDL and ox-LDL-Mediated Platelet Activation: Using Platelet P-Selectin Receptor Numbers(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2011) ŞENER, AZİZE; Sener, Azize; Enc, Elif; Ozsavci, Derya; Vanizor-Kural, Birgul; Yanikkaya-Demirel, Gulderen; Oba, Rabia; Uras, Fikriye; Demir, MuzafferThe aim of this study is to investigate the effects of exogenous L-arginine and HDL on LDL and oxidized LDL (ox-LDL)-mediated platelet activation. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-activated platelets have been incubated with lipoproteins with or without L-arginine. P-selectin receptor numbers per platelet have been measured by flow cytometry. After incubation with only L-arginine (without lipoproteins), platelet nitric oxide (NO) levels and P-selectin receptor numbers significantly increased compared to the controls (P < .05). After incubation with LDL or ox-LDL, receptor numbers of P-selectin significantly increased (P < .001). However, P-selectin receptor numbers in platelets treated with L-arginine + LDL or L-arginine + ox-LDL decreased compared to the levels in platelets treated with only LDL or ox-LDL (P < .01, P < .001, respectively). Addition of HDL to L-arginine + ox-LDL caused significant reduction in P-selectin receptor numbers as in the control values (P < .001). We have concluded that L-arginine causes enhanced platelet NO levels and blocks the effects of LDL or ox-LDL on platelet P-selectin receptor numbers and HDL also strengthens this effect of L-arginine.Publication Metadata only Synthesis of Diflunisal Thiazolidinones as Anticancer Agents(BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD, 2016) ŞENER, AZİZE; Senkardes, Sevil; Ozakpinar, Ozlem B.; Ozsavci, Derya; Sener, Azize; Cevik, Ozge; Kucukguzel, S. GunizA series of diflunisal 4-thiazolidinones were synthesized. Some selected compounds were determined at one dose towards the full panel of 60 human cancer cell lines by National Cancer Institute. 2',4'-Difluoro-4-hydroxy-N-[4-oxo-2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3-thiazolidin-3-yl]biphenyl-3-carboxamide (4a) demonstrated the most marked effect on K-562 cancer cell line with 58.59 % growth inhibition at 10 mu M. Compound 4a was evaluated in vitro using the MTT colorimetric method against human leukemia cell line K-562 and mouse embryonic fibroblasts cell line NIH-3T3 at different doses for cell viability and growth inhibition. Compound 4a exhibited anticancer activity with IC50 value of 5.2 mu M against K-562 cells and did not display cytotoxicity towards NIH-3T3 cells compared with diflunisal. In addition, this compound could be an interesting prototype as an antiproliferative agent.Publication Metadata only Synthesis, Cytotoxicity, and Pro-Apoptosis Activity of Etodolac Hydrazide Derivatives as Anticancer Agents(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2013) ŞENER, AZİZE; Cikla, Pelin; Ozsavci, Derya; Bingol-Ozakpinar, Ozlem; Sener, Azize; Cevik, Ozge; Ozbas-Turan, Suna; Akbuga, Julide; Sahin, Fikrettin; Kucukguzel, S. GunizEtodolac hydrazide and a novel series of etodolac hydrazide-hydrazones 315 and etodolac 4-thiazolidinones 1626 were synthesized in this study. The structures of the new compounds were determined by spectral (FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HREI-MS) methods. Some selected compounds were determined at one dose toward the full panel of 60 human cancer cell lines by the National Cancer Institute (NCI, Bethesda, USA). 2-(1,8-Diethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole-1-yl)acetic acid[(4-chlorophenyl)methylene]hydrazide 9 demonstrated the most marked effect on the prostate cancer cell line PC-3, with 58.24% growth inhibition at 105M (10 mu M). Using the MTT colorimetric method, compound 9 was evaluated in vitro against the prostate cell line PC-3 and the rat fibroblast cell line L-929, for cell viability and growth inhibition at different doses. Compound 9 exhibited anticancer activity with an IC50 value of 54 mu M (22.842 mu g/mL) against the PC-3 cells and did not display any cytotoxicity toward the L-929 rat fibroblasts, compared to etodolac. In addition, this compound was evaluated for caspase-3 and Bcl-2 activation in the apoptosis pathway, which plays a key role in the treatment of cancer.Publication Metadata only Do platelet apoptosis, activation, aggregation, lipid peroxidation and platelet-leukocyte aggregate formation occur simultaneously in hyperlipidemia?(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2005) ŞENER, AZİZE; Sener, A; Ozsavci, D; Oba, R; Demirel, Y; Uras, F; Yardimci, KTObjectives: The circulating lipoproteins may cause some abnormalities in platelet composition and function in hypercholesterolemia. The aim Of this Study was to investigate whether platelet apoptosis, platelet activation, platelet aggregation, platelet-leukocyte aggregate (PLA) formation and lipid peroxidation occur simultaneously in hyperlipidemia. Design and methods: Expression of GpIIb/IIIa (CD41a), P-selectin (CD62-P), platelet-bound fibrinogen (antifibrinogen), platelet membrane phosphatidylserine (PS), platelet-monocyte aggregates (mono-PLA) and platelet-neutrophil aggregates (neut-PLA) was measured in eight hyperlipidemic and eight normal subjects using flow cytometry. ADP (10 mu M) was used to activate platelets. Furthermore, ADP induced platelet aggregation responses, platelet malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels were determined. Results: Before platelet activation, platelet CD62-P, anti Fibrinogen, annexin-V, mono-PLA, neut-PLA and platelet MDA levels as well as platelet aggregation responses in the hyperlipidemics were significantly higher than those in the controls (P < 0.01, P < 0.01, P < 0.01, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P < 0.01, P < 0.001, respectively), whereas GpIIb/IIIa expression and GSH levels were not different significantly (P > 0.05). In the control group, CD62-P, antifibrinogen and annexin-V levels increased significantly after ADP activation (P < 0.05, P < 0.05, P < 0.01, respectively). In hyperlipidemic Subjects, annexin-V expression increased significantly after activation (P < 0.01), whereas expression of GpIIb/ IIIa, CD62-P and anti fibrinogen remained unchanged (P > 0.05). The levels of total cholesterol (T-CHO), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), serum fibrinogen (S-FGN) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in patients were found to be correlated with platelet CD62-P, anti Fibrinogen, annexin-V, mono-PLA and MDA. Conclusions: In conclusion, it seems that in hyperlipidemia, some platelets are in an activated state in circulation, and that increased lipid peroxidation, early apoptosis, platelet-leukocytes aggregate formation and platelet aggregation altogether accompany this process.

Methods: To induce SAH, rats were injected with 0.3 mL blood into their cisterna magna. At 48 hours rats were decapitated after neurological examination. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, brain water content, oxidative stress markers and histological analysis were done in brain tissue. Results: The results showed that neurological examination scores were increased in the SAH group and, moreover, BBB permeability was impaired and oedema formed. SAH resulted in increased levels of plasma tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6 levels and caspase-3 activity. Lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation levels and myeloperoxidase activity were all increased in the brain tissue, with concomitant decreases in antioxidant enzymes. On the other hand, SAH-induced neurological impairment and oxidative brain injury were ameliorated in the obestatin-treated group. Conclusion: The present study provides the first evidence that peripheral administration of obestatin exerts potent anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in SAH-induced oxidative damage by maintaining a balance in oxidant-antioxidant status through the augmentation of endogenous antioxidants and the inhibition of pro-inflammatory mediators.
