Publication Open Access Anti-cancer effects of curcumin, quercetin and tea catechins(MARMARA UNIV, FAC PHARMACY, 2016-09-20) YALÇIN, AHMET SUHA; Yalcin, A. Suha; Yilmaz, Ayse Mine; Altundag, Ergul Mutlu; Kocturk, SemraPolyphenols are present in high amounts in all parts of plants including roots, seeds, flowers, leaves, branches and trunk as well as plant derived products such as tea, coffee and wine. Extensive amount of information is available on biological effects of polyphenols including antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulant and anti-microbial activities. In recent years, researchers have turned their interest towards identifying molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-cancer effects of these compounds. However, the limited bioavailability of polyphenols and the existence of differences in cancer cells in terms of intracellular mechanisms affected has necessitated the use of specific approaches to individual cancer cell types as well as methods of increasing bioavailability. In this review, the structures, bioavailability, biological activities and molecular mechanisms of anti-cancer effects of curcumin, quercetin and tea catechins are discussed.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.

SuhaWhey is used as an additive in food industry and a dietary supplement in nutrition. Here we report a comparative analysis of antioxidant potential of whey and its fractions. Fractions were obtained by size exclusion chromatography, before and after enzymatic digestion with pepsin or trypsin. Superoxide radical scavenging, lipid peroxidation inhibition and cupric ion reducing activities of different fractions were checked. Peptides were detected by SDS-PAGE and GC-MS was used to determine carbohydrate content of the fractions. All samples showed antioxidant activity and the second fraction of the trypsin hydrolysate showed the highest superoxide radical scavenging activity. CUPRAC value of this fraction was two-times higher than that of whey filtrate. The first fraction of the pepsin hydrolysate was the most effective inhibitor of lipid peroxidation. Each sample exhibited a different polypeptide profile. Different percentages of carbohydrates were identified in whey filtrate and in all second fractions, where galactose was the major component.

Suha; Taga, YavuzObjective: Dendritic cells (DCs) are members of the mammalian immune system and are considered to be the most powerful antigen presenting cells. They are responsible for the induction of T-cells or T-cell dependent immunity and tolerance. In this study we have investigated the effect of different serum supplements on generation and yield of mature dendritic cells isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Methods: Three different serum supplements (10% Fetal Bovine Serum, 1% Human Serum Albumin and 1% autologous serum) were compared with serum-free media to identify the role and importance of serum supplements on DC cultivation. Effect of different media on maturation signs (CD40, CD80, CD86, CD209a) and cytokine release (TNF-alpha, IL-10, IL-12, IL-6) was examined. Results: DCs generated in serum-free media was similar to those of cells in medium with autologous serum. Few dendritic-like cells were observed in fetal bovine serum and human serum albumin. The effect of different media on maturation of DCs was compared phenotypically and increased expression of CD80, CD86 and CD209a identified maturation and yield of DCs. Conclusion: Our results suggest that serum free media can be used to overcome potential drawbacks associated with different serum containing supplements.Publication Metadata only Proteasomal degradation of TP53INP1 and their relation to methotrexate treatment in prostate cancer cells(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2016) YILMAZ GÖLER, AYŞE MİNE; Cinel, Ali Emin; Kaplan, Gulce Sari; Yilmaz, Ayse Mine; Karademir, BetulPublication Metadata only Whey Protein Versus Whey Protein Hydrolyzate for the Protection of Azoxymethane and Dextran Sodium Sulfate Induced Colonic Tumors in Rats(SPRINGER, 2012) YALÇIN, AHMET SUHA; Attaallah, Wafi; Yilmaz, Ayse Mine; Erdogan, Nusret; Yalcin, A. Suha; Aktan, A. OzdemirRecent studies have shown that whey protein has many useful effects including its anti-cancer effect. In this study we have compared the protective effect of dietary whey protein with whey protein hydrolyzate against azoxymethane and dextran sodium sulfate induced colon cancer in rats. We used a rat model of the colon cancer induced by administration of azoxymethane followed by repeated dextran sodium sulfate ingestion which causes multiple tumor development. Colon tissues were analyzed histologically in addition to biochemical analyses performed by measuring lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and glutathione levels in both of colon and liver tissues of rats after sacrification. Macroscopic and microscopic tumors were identified in all groups that received azoxymethane followed by repeated dextran sodium sulfate. Group fed with whey protein hydrolyzate showed significantly less macroscopic and microscopic tumor development compared with group fed with whey protein. The protocol applied to generate an appropriate model of colon cancer was successful. Whey protein hydrolyzate was found to be more effective in preventing colon tumor development compared with whey protein.Publication Metadata only Chemotherapy Resistance: The role of proteasomal degradation and heat shock response(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2015) ŞAHİN, ALİ; Karademir, Betul; Sozen, Erdi; Bozaykut, Perinur; Altundag, Ergul Mutlu; Yilmaz, Ayse Mine; Sahin, Ali; Corek, Ceyda; Sari, Gulce; Ozer, Nesrin KartalPublication Open Access Effect of ketone bodies on viability of human breast cancer cells (MCF-7)(MARMARA UNIV, FAC MEDICINE, 2018-06-05) YALÇIN, AHMET SUHA; Kaya, Zuhal; Yilmaz, Ayse Mine; Yalcin, A. SuhaObjective: Cancer cells exhibit an elevated glycolytic phenotype under aerobic conditions, which is known as the Warburg effect. Recent studies have also shown that cancer cells are glucose-dependent and cannot use ketone bodies as a primary source of energy. In this study, we have investigated the effects of ketone bodies on viability of breast cancer cells considering that breast cancer cells would not use ketone bodies as a primary energy source. Materials and Methods: In this study we have used MCF-7 cells, which are breast cancer cells that cannot use ketone bodies as a primary energy source and human foreskin fibroblast cells (HFF) as controls. We measured cell viability in both cells cultured in the presence or absence of glucose as well as the ketone bodies acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate. Results: Cell viability was significantly decreased in response to ketone bodies compared with control media in MCF-7 cells whereas in control cells (HFF) cell viability was not changed. Conclusion: In light of the data obtained, we suggest that dietary manipulation with the use of ketone bodies may be a new therapeutic strategy for breast cancer.Publication Open Access Synergistic Effects of Methotrexate and Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid in Triggering Apoptosis of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells(AKAD DOKTORLAR YAYINEVI, 2015-03-30) YALÇIN, AHMET SUHA; Altundag, Ergul M.; Yilmaz, Ayse M.; Corek, Ceyda; Yalcin, A. Suha; Taga, Yavuz; Kocturk, SemraIn this study, we have investigated the effects of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) against chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells in combination studies with methotrexate (MTX), which is a dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor used in combination therapy with other agents or alone. Combination of synergistic ratios of MTX and SAHA led to apoptotic cell death of CML cells via PARR cleavage, cytochrome c release and ROS increase in vitro. We suggest that combination of MD( and SAHA may minimize the toxicity and side effects of SAHA treatment, thus providing lower amounts of each drug in CML treatment.
