Publication Metadata only Antitumor and antimetastatic effects of walnut oil in esophageal adenocarcinoma cells(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2018) ŞAHİN, ALİ; Batirel, Saime; Yilmaz, Ayse Mine; Sahin, Ali; Perakakis, Nikolaos; Ozer, Nesrin Kartal; Mantzoros, Christos S.Background: Walnuts contain many components including specific fatty acids, which could be active against cancer. Even though the anticarcinogenic effect of some of the individual fatty acids in walnut oil has been described, the effect of walnut oil itself on esophageal cancer cells hasn't yet been investigated. Objective: We aimed to investigate whether walnut oil affects tumor growth and metastatic potential in esophageal cancer cells. Methods: The human esophageal adenocarcinoma cell line, OE19, was treated with different doses of walnut oil and cell viability, apoptosis/necrosis and cell cycle analyses were performed using WST-1 assay and flow cytometry respectively. Adhesion, colony formation and wound healing assays were performed to assess the antimetastatic effects of walnut oil. NFkB expression was evaluated with western blot analysis. Results: Walnut oil decreased the cell viability of esophageal cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. 20 mg/mL walnut oil reduced cell viability by similar to 50% when compared with control. The analysis revealed that necrosis and accumulation of cells in G0/G1 phase was induced in the cells treated with high doses of walnut oil. It also down-regulated the protein levels of NFkB. Walnut oil suppressed the adhesion, migration and colony formation of the cells. Conclusions: High-dose short-term administration of walnut oil reduces the cell viability and metastatic ability of esophageal cancer cells, while exhibiting anticarcinogenic effect by inducing necrosis and cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase, probably through suppression of the NFkB pathway. These data indicate that walnut oil, and by extension walnut consumption, may have beneficial effects in esophageal cancer in humans. This should be tested by clinical trials in the future.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. In this study, we investigated the effects of resveratrol on epithelioid MPM. Material and methods: Human epithelioid MPM cell line (NCI-H2452) was exposed to resveratrol (5-200 mu M) for 24 or 48 h. Cell viability was assessed by WST-1 assay. Flow cytometry analyses were performed to evaluate the effects of resveratrol on cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. Western blot analysis was used to determine protein expression levels of antioxidant enzymes, cyclin D1 and p53. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured using H2 DCFDA. Results: Resveratrol reduced cell viability of the cells in a concentration and time dependent manner. After treatment, the cells accumulated in G0/G1 phase and the percentage of cells in G2/M phase was reduced. Resveratrol decreased cyclin D1 and increased p53 expression in cell lysates. Treated cells exhibited increased apoptotic activity. ROS were elevated with resveratrol treatment, but there was no change in the expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD)-1, SOD-2 and glutathione peroxidase. Conclusion: Our results revealed that resveratrol exhibits anti-cell viability effect on epithelioid MPM cells by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Resveratrol may become a potential therapeutic agent for epithelioid MPM.Publication Metadata only Theophylline-loaded pectin-based hydrogels. I. Effect of medium pH and preparation conditions on drug release profile(WILEY, 2018) BATIREL, SAİME; Guner, Ozde Zeynep; Cam, Cansu; Arabacioglu-Kocaaga, Banu; Batirel, Saime; Guner, F. SenihaIn this study, a series of theophylline-loaded calcium pectin gel films were prepared in three different Ca+2 concentrations with three different methods for wound dressing applications. Drug release performance of the films were investigated in four different medium pH in order to mimic wound healing pH conditions. Hydrogel films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Their absorbency (fluid handling), swelling behavior, dehydration rate, dispersion characteristic, dressing pH determination, water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability, surface contact angle, flexibility, Shore A hardness, mean mass per unit area and thickness were determined. The effect of the hydrogels on wound healing was evaluated with an in vitro wound healing assay. After evaluating all data, we suggested that the hydrogel film prepared with swelling method using 7% or 10% crosslinker and dried at 26 degrees C is more suitable for controlled drug release process. We showed that between pH 3.25 and 7.12 the form of the hydrogel did not change, and drug release was continuous. (c) 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Effect of concentration of initial pectin solution, crosslinker type and cation concentration of external solution on drug release profile(WILEY, 2019) BATIREL, SAİME; Sarioglu, Ebru; Kocaaga, Banu Arabacioglu; Turan, Deniz; Batirel, Saime; Guner, F. SenihaA series of drug-loaded pectin hydrogels were prepared by mixing method in two ion types, Ca+2 or Zn+2, for wound dressing applications and their drug release performances were investigated at pH 6.4 in four different calcium ion concentrations of external solution. Pectin hydrogels were synthesized in three different concentrations of initial pectin solution and theophylline was used as a model drug. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy were used for hydrogel characterization. Additionally, fluid handling capacity, swelling behavior, dehydration rate, dispersion characteristic, dressing pH determination, water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability, surface contact angle, flexibility, mass per unit area, and thickness were determined for selected hydrogels. One of the most valuable contributions of our study is that the concentration of initial pectin solution and calcium ion concentration of external solution are very important parameters to obtain an effective drug release. After evaluating all data, we have shown that flexible and transparent pectin-based wound dressings can be synthesized as a controlled drug release system. Zinc-containing hydrogel was antibacterial against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli but not suitable for cell migration. On the other hand, calcium-based hydrogel was nontoxic on the fibroblast cells and it had no negative effect on cell migration. (c) 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2019, 136, 48155.Publication Metadata only Cellular Protection and Therapeutic Potential of Tocotrienols(BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD, 2011) YILMAZ, BETÜL; Catalgol, Betul; Batirel, Saime; Ozer, Nesrin KartalTocotrienols, components belonging to vitamin E members, are used as potent therapeutics in the treatment of several diseases. Recent studies suggested tocotrienol to have better activity in many situations compared to tocopherols. Tocotrienols have been shown to lower the atherogenic apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein plasma levels. Additionally, tocotrienols with their anti-tumor effect together with anti-angiogenic and anti-thrombotic effects may serve as effective agents in cancer therapy. Besides these effects, some properties such as water insolubility and low stability limit the usage of tocotrienols in the clinic. However recent studies tried to increase the bioavailability with esterification and combination use. These efforts for the clinical usage of tocotrienols which may help them to take a wide place in the clinic and additional studies are needed to identify their therapeutical mechanisms.Publication Open Access The angiogenic gene profile of pulmonary endarterectomy specimens: Initial study(2023-01-01) ERMERAK, NEZİH ONUR; YILMAZ, BETÜL; BATIREL, SAİME; OLGUN YILDIZELİ, ŞEHNAZ; KOCAKAYA, DERYA; MUTLU, BÜLENT; YILDIZELİ, BEDRETTİN; ERMERAK N. O., YILMAZ B., BATIREL S., OLGUN YILDIZELİ Ş., KOCAKAYA D., MUTLU B., Tas S., YILDIZELİ B.© 2023 The Author(s)Objectives: The underlying mechanisms for the development of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and prognostic biomarkers are not clear yet. Thus, our aim is to assess and identify new biomarkers for the expression of 84 key genes linked to angiogenesis. Methods: Patients who had levels more than 1000 dynes·sec·cm−5 were included in the test group, and the other patients were included in the control group. Twelve specimens were taken from the patients. RT2 Profiler PCR Array (Qiagen) was used to quantify the expression of the 84 key genes. Results: Eight patients (6 male, 2 female, median age 54.4 ± 13.1 years) who underwent pulmonary endarterectomy were included. Pulmonary vascular resistance improved significantly from 811 ± 390 dyn/s/cm−5 to 413.3 ± 144.9 dyn/s/cm−5 (P .005) after surgery. Median length of hospital stay was 11.62 ± 2.97 days. The test group had a distinct pattern of impaired angiogenic and antiangiogenic genes. The expression levels of TGFA, TGFB1, THBS2, THBS1, TGFBR1, SERPINE1, SERPINF1, TGFB2, TIMP2, VEGFC, IFNA1, TNF, CXCL10, NOS3, IGF1, and MMP14 were downregulated in the specimens from the patients who had higher pulmonary vascular resistance values, whereas some genes, including PDGFA, showed upregulation that was statistically nonsignificant in the same group. Conclusions: These results can lead to the development of new markers that could predict adverse outcomes of patients with CTEPH. Identification of new markers that are related to worse outcomes would enable screening patients for early diagnosis and treatment.Publication Open Access Resveratrol: French paradox revisited(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2012) YILMAZ, BETÜL; Catalgol, Betul; Batirel, Saime; Taga, Yavuz; Ozer, Nesrin KartalResveratrol is a polyphenol that plays a potentially important role in many disorders and has been studied in different diseases. The research on this chemical started through the French paradox, which describes improved cardiovascular outcomes despite a high-fat diet in French people. Since then, resveratrol has been broadly studied and shown to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, and anti-angiogenic effects, with those on oxidative stress possibly being most important and underlying some of the others, but many signaling pathways are among the molecular targets of resveratrol. In concert they may be beneficial in many disorders, particularly in diseases where oxidative stress plays an important role. The main focus of this review will be the pathways affected by resveratrol. Based on these mechanistic considerations, the involvement of resveratrol especially in cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and possibly in longevity will be is addressed.Publication Open Access Association of serum irisin levels with body composition, metabolic profile, leptin, and adiponectin levels in lean and obese children(2023-11-05) BATIREL, SAİME; Esin K., Batirel S., Ülfer G., Yigit P., Sanlier N.Background and Objectives: Irisin is an adipo-myokine with potential metabolic effects in the body, and its association with childhood obesity is still controversial. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum irisin levels and anthropometric parameters, body composition, metabolic profiles, leptin, and adiponectin in obese and normal-weight children. Methods: The study sample consisted of a total of 80 children aged 6–10, including 44 obese children (BMI ≥ 97th percentile) and 36 normal-weight children. Anthropometric parameters were measured. Body composition was determined with the use of the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method. Metabolic profiles, as well as irisin, leptin, and adiponectin levels, were analyzed. Results: Anthropometric parameters and body composition were found to be significantly different between the obese and normal-weight groups (p < 0.05). Fasting blood glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, and leptin levels were found to be significantly higher in the obese group, while the normal-weight group had significantly higher HDL cholesterol and adiponectin levels (p < 0.05). Serum irisin levels did not differ between the obese and normal-weight groups, or based on sex, vitamin D levels, and insulin resistance status. There was also no statistically significant correlation between serum irisin levels and anthropometric parameters, metabolic profile, leptin, and adiponectin. Conclusions: The study concluded that the obese children who participated in this study had high leptin levels and low adiponectin levels, with no significant difference in the irisin levels between the groups. More comprehensive clinical studies are needed to investigate the relationship between irisin and adipokines in children.Publication Metadata only 2-Thiobarbituric acid addition improves structural integrity and controlled drug delivery of biocompatible pectin hydrogels(TAYLOR & FRANCIS AS, 2021) BATIREL, SAİME; Guner, O. Z.; Kocaaga, B.; Batirel, S.; Kurkcuoglu, O.; Guner, F. S.Thiolated polymers are commonly preferred for biomedical applications with their good permeation properties providing them higher bioavailability. However, the thiolation process is mostly time-consuming series of chemical reactions. This study describes a simple irreversible thiol group integration to the pectin hydrogels by noncovalent bonding. We used 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) for thiolation. We proved with full-atom molecular dynamics simulations and experimental methods that TBA desertion is negligible. Pectin hydrogels become more flexible and their disintegration is delayed from 4 h up to four days with TBA addition. Also, hydrogels can successfully deliver the model drug, theophylline, showing a controlled release profile.Publication Metadata only Dual effect of procaine-loaded pectin hydrogels: pain management and in vitro wound healing(SPRINGER, 2021) BATIREL, SAİME; Rodoplu, Seniz; Celik, Bengi Ezgi; Kocaaga, Banu; Ozturk, Cenk; Batirel, Saime; Turan, Deniz; Guner, F. SenihaThis study aims to develop procaine-loaded pectin hydrogels for both local anesthetic delivery and wound healing. We investigated the effects of initial drug concentration, pH of initial drug solution, and drying temperature of hydrogel on the drug release behavior of hydrogels. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy were used for their characterization. Their swelling percentage, drug loading, and drug release behaviors were determined. Toxic effects of selected hydrogels on the wound healing ability of PCS-201-012 human dermal fibroblast cells and wound dressing properties were also investigated. According to our results, the hydrogels did not affect cell migration. Initial drug concentration, pH of initial drug solution, and drying temperature of hydrogels are crucial on procaine release behavior of pectin-based hydrogels.
