Publication Metadata only The antifibrotic drug halofuginone reduces ischemia/reperfusion-induced oxidative renal damage in rats(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2013) YEGEN, BERRAK; Cerit, Kivilcim Karadeniz; Karakoyun, Berna; Yuksel, Meral; Ozkan, Naziye; Cetinel, Sule; Dagli, E. Tolga; Yegen, Berrak C.; Tugtepe, HalilAim: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the protective effects of halofuginone against renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Materials and methods: Male Wistar albino rats were unilaterally nephrectomized and the left renal pedicles were occluded for 45 min to induce ischemia and then reperfused for 6 h (early) or for 72 h (late). The rats were treated intraperitoneally with either halofuginone (100 mu g/kg/day) or saline 30 min prior to ischemia and the dose was repeated in the late reperfusion groups. In the sham groups, rats underwent unilateral nephrectomy and were treated at similar time points. The animals were decapitated at either 6 h or 72 h of reperfusion and trunk blood and kidney samples were obtained. Results: I/R injury increased renal malondialdehyde levels, myeloperoxidase activity and reactive oxygen radical levels, and decreased the renal glutathione content. Halofuginone treatment was found to reduce oxidative I/R injury and improve renal function in the rat kidney, as evidenced by reduced generation of reactive oxygen species, depressed lipid peroxidation and myeloperoxidase activity, and increased glutathione levels. Conclusions: The present findings demonstrate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of halofuginone in renal I/R injury, supporting its potential use where renal I/R injury is inevitable.

Z.Publication Metadata only The protective role of UMCA on bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in rats(2022-11-05) AYDEMİR, SEZGİN; ÖZKAN YENAL, NAZİYE; GÜÇLÜ, HÜLYA; YÜKSEL, MERAL; ÖZBEYLİ, DİLEK; AYDEMİR S., ÖZKAN YENAL N., GÜÇLÜ H., YÜKSEL M., ÖZBEYLİ D., ERDOĞAN N.Bleomycin (BLM), an antibiotic drug, is used for the treatment of cancers like Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma and cervical cancer. The most common adverse effects occurred during BLM treatment is lung toxicity, which manifest as fibrosis. UMCA® (Pelargonium sidoides root extract) is a commercial product to treat acute and chronic upper respiratory tract infections. UMCA® has antiviral, antibacterial, immunomodulatory and cytoprotective properties, which is related to its polyphenol, coumarin, anthocyanidin and flavonoid contents. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the possible protective effects of UMCA® on BLM induced lung fibrosis in rats. Wistar albino rats was included in this study and randomly divided into 4 groups (Control, BLM, BLM+UMCA and UMCA). The control group received physiological saline. UMCA® was orally applied at a dose of 200 mg/kg/day and single intratracheal administration of BLM was conducted at a dose of 10 mg/kg. All animals were decapitated after 10 days and lung tissues was removed for the biochemical and histopathological examinations. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels and Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were determined. Chemiluminescence (CL) method using luminol and lucigenin probes, additional nitric oxide and peroxynitrite measurements were applied. Histopathological observations were analyzed with H&E and Gomori's one-step trichrome staining. Collagen contents of lung tissue were also determined with a spectrophotometric method in paraffin-embedded tissues. BLM elevated MDA levels and MPO activity and depleted GSH levels in the lung tissues (p<0.001). CL measurement levels were also increased in BLM group respect to the control. Contrary to this, UMCA® treatment reversed these effects, significantly (p<0.001). BLM caused alveolar structural disturbance and inflammatory cell infiltrations and collagen content was also significantly increased in BLM group compared to the control (65.7±10.6, p<0.001). UMCA® administration reduced degenerations and decreased collagen content in the lung tissue. In conclusion, UMCA® has an antioxidant and protective effects on BLM induced lung fibrosis in rats.Publication Open Access Evaluation of the wound healing potential of Aloe vera-based extract of Nerium oleander(KARE PUBL, 2017) YÜKSEL, MERAL; Akgun, Sevcan Gul; Aydemir, Sezgin; Ozkan, Naziye; Yuksel, Meral; Sardas, SemraOBJECTIVE: Nerium oleander (Apocynaceae) and Aloe vera (Liliaceae) are among the widely used herbal remedies for treating skin diseases and possess numerous activities such as antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antioxidant. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible wound healing effect of Aloev era-based extract of the N. oleander leaf (NAE-8 (R)) based on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and DNA repair capacity along with histological changes and to compare them with the traditional silver sulfadiazine treatment (SSD). METHODS: Twenty-four Wistar albino rats were randomly grouped as follows: i) control, ii) burn alone (burn), iii) burn with topical NAE-8 (R) (burn+ NAE-8 (R)) treatment, and iv) burn with topical 1% silver sulfadiazine (burn+ SSD) treatment. All groups received their related topical application twice a day for 14 consecutive days. Upon completion of the experimental protocol, trunk blood and skin tissues were collected for measuring malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), myeloperoxidase (MPO), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), % DNA in the tail (% DNAT) levels along with histological examinations. RESULTS: Thermal injury-induced alterations in MDA, GSH, MPO, TNF-a, IL-1 beta, and % DNAT levels were significantly reversed by NAE-8 (R) treatment. These ameliorative effects were also supported by histological findings. CONCLUSION: Findings of the present study suggest that NAE-8 (R) is a promising remedy for treating skin burn injury.Publication Metadata only Protective effects of different exercise modalities in an Alzheimer's disease-like model(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2017) YILMAZ, BETÜL; Ozbeyli, Dilek; Sari, Gulce; Ozkan, Naziye; Karademir, Betul; Yuksel, Meral; Kaya, Ozlem Tugce Cilingir; Cakir, Ozgur KasimayOur aim was to investigate the probable protective effects of aerobic, resistance and combined exercise methods on ovariectomy and D-galactose induced Alzheimer's Disease (AD)-like model. D-galactose (100 mg/kg) or saline were administered intraperitoneally for 6 weeks to ovariectomized or sham-operated rats (n = 8/group). Aerobic (AE), resistance (RE) and combined exercises (CE) (aerobic + resistance) were performed for 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Anxiety level and cognitive functions were evaluated via hole-board and object recognition tests. Brain myeloperoxidase, malondialdehyde, nitric oxide activity, lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence, glutathione and serum insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) assays were done. Hippocampal mRNA levels of nerve growth factor (NGF), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and amyloid precursor protein 695 (APP695) were measured. Amyloid Beta (A beta), NGF, BDNF, IGF-I immunoreactive neurons were evaluated. Freezing time were increased in AD like model and decreased back with AE (p <0.05). Deteriorated working memory in AD-like model was improved with all exercise types (p < 0.05-0.001). Reduced glutathione levels in AD-like model were increased and increased malondialdehyde levels were reduced and serum IGF-I levels were increased by all exercises (p < 0.05-0.001). Increased APP mRNA levels in AD-like model were decreased via CE (p < 0.05). Elevated AP scores in AD-like model were decreased by RE and CE (p < 0.01) in hippocampus and by all exercise types in cortex (p < 0.05-0.01). Decreased cortical NGF immunocytochemical scores of AD-like model were increased by CE (p < 0.05). Different exercise models may have protective effects in development stage of AD via reducing oxidative stress and A beta scores, and by improving antioxidant system and brain plasticity.
