Publication Metadata only Role of cholinergic agents in proliferation and caspase activity of hemin-induced erythroid differentiated K562 cells(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2020) AYDIN OMAY, BANU; Cabadak, Hulya; Aydin, BanuBackground: Muscarinic receptors have many functions in the cells and tissues. Acetylcholine (ACh) plays an important role in cellular physiology. ACh also acts at the different parts of the central nervous system and nonneuronal cells. Cholinergic receptors also have different functions in many cell types and tissues. Caspases (cysteine aspartic proteases and cysteine aspartases) are cysteine dependent aspartate-specific proteases. They are an important role in necrosis and cell death and inflammation signaling pathways. They are also the primary mediators of apoptosis. During apoptosis, different caspase types participate in different functions. We have previously shown that carbachol (CCh) inhibits K562 cell proliferation. This study was performed to investigate the anti-tumor efficacy of cholinergic drugs in hemin-induced erythroid differentiated K562 cells. The aim of this study was to address the mechanism of cholinergic drugs on hemin-induced erythroid differentiated K562 cell proliferation and caspase activities. We detected M-3 muscarinic receptor expression in erythroid differentiated K562 cell line. Methods: K562 cells were differentiated with hemin (50 mu M). The expression of the M-3 muscarinic receptor was detected by the western blotting technique. Erythroid differentiated K562 cells treated with CCh (100 mu M). After 24 and 48 h, cells were counted by BrdU cell proliferation kit. Caspase 3,8, and 9 activities were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits according to the manufacturer's instructions. Results: Erythroid differentiated K562 cell proliferation was not significantly increased after CCh treatment. In the meantime, caspases 8 and 9 activities in erythroid differentiated K562 cell line was significantly higher than undifferentiated K562 cells (p < .05).Publication Metadata only Muscarinic receptor-mediated nitric oxide release in a K562 erythroleukaemia cell line(2009) AYDIN OMAY, BANU; Cabadak H., Küçükibrahimoǧlu E., Aydin B., Kan B., Gören M.Z.1 In the present study we have investigated the expression of muscarinic receptors in K562 erythroleukaemic cells and the effects of muscarinic agonist and antagonists on extracellular citrulline levels in these cells, as a marker of nitric oxide (NO) generation. 2 Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M 1-M5) play key roles in regulating many diverse physiological processes. Recent studies suggest that muscarinic receptors mediate some cellular events in haematopoietic cells. Multiple subtypes of muscarinic receptors are expressed in different human cells. NO, a free radical and a signaling molecule, is involved in the regulation of many physiological functions and derived from certain nitric oxide synthases (NOS), which are related to muscarinic receptors. 3 In this study, the presence of M2, M3 and M4 subtypes in K562, an erythroleukaemic cell line, was demonstrated by using the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Moreover, the generation of NO induced by carbachol, a non-selective muscarinic agonist, was investigated by using high-performance liquid chromatography to measure changes in extracellular l-citrulline levels. 4 We found that carbachol enhanced l-citrulline production in K562 erythroleukaemic cells. The effect of carbachol on l-citrulline production was antagonized by atropine and 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine (4-DAMP), while tropicamide had little effect. These results suggest that the muscarinic receptor M 3 subtype may mediate NO signaling in K562 erythroleukaemic cells. © 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.Publication Metadata only The role of intracellular pathways in the proliferation of human K562 cells mediated by muscarinic receptors(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2013) AYDIN OMAY, BANU; Aydin, Banu; Kan, Beki; Cabadak, HulyaMuscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are members of the superfamily of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Muscarinic receptors are relatively abundant in the central nervous system and in the peripheral parasympathetic nervous system. Several studies have suggested that muscarinic receptors also mediate some cellular events in hematopoietic cells. K562 erythroleukemia cells contain muscarinic receptors M-2, M-3 and M-4, and activation of muscarinic receptors changes cell proliferation. We examined the effects of several compounds on cell proliferation in K562 erythroleukemia cells. These included a muscarinic receptor agonist carbachol (CCh), a protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine; the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122, the MEK 1-2 inhibitor UO126, the PI3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin, the Ca2+ chelators BAPTA/AM and 2-aminoethoxy-diphenylborate (2APB). In addition, we also investigated muscarinic receptor mediated protein kinase C (PKC) expression in K562 cells. CCh caused a decrease in DNA synthesis in K562 cells supplemented with 1% fetal bovine serum after starvation. Pre-treatment of K562 cells with U73122 and BAPTA/AM antagonized the inhibitory effect of CCh, suggesting that phospholipase C and intracellular calcium are involved in CCh-mediated inhibition of proliferation in K562 cells. Our data also suggest that the regulatory roles of protein kinase C and the MAPK/ERK pathways in K562 cell proliferation are independent of cholinergic activation. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

G., Aydın Omay B., Cabadak H.Objective: Muscarinic receptors (M1-M5) are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and are effective in physiological functions through G proteins. Recent studies suggested that cholinergic receptors mediate cellular activities in hematopoietic cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling extracellular signalregulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2)/phosphorylated ERK1/ (pERK1/2) pathways in chronic myeloid leukemia (K562) cells. Materials and Methods: Chronic myeloid leukemia cells were cultured. Cells were incubated in the presence of muscarinic receptor agonist, antagonist and epidermal growth factor (EGF). To detect MAPK activation, ERK/pERK protein expression levels were determined by western blot method techniques. Results: Our study results showed that cholinergic agents and EGFs affect the MAPK pathway in the human K562 cell line. Conclusion: Cholinergic and EGF receptors may affect the MAPK pathway in K562 cells. Conclusion: Cholinergic and EGF receptors may affect the MAPK pathway in K562 cells.Publication Open Access Effects of carbachol on apoptosis in human chronic myelogenous leukemic K562 cell line(MARMARA UNIV, FAC MEDICINE, 2019-01-31) AYDIN OMAY, BANU; Aydin, Banu; Tulunay, Aysin; Eksioglu-Demiralp, Emel; Kan, Beki; Cabadak, HulyaObjectives: Muscarinic receptors mediate diverse actions of acetylcholine in the central nervous system and in non-nervous tissues innervated by the parasympathetic nervous system. Our study aims to evaluate the potential association of the M-3 muscarinic receptor with K562 cell proliferation and death. Materials and Methods: Cell proliferation was evaluated by bromodeoxyuridine (BrDU) incorporation. To show early, late apoptosis and cell death, cells were labelled with Annexin V, propidium iodide (PI) and analyzed by flow cytometry. Nuclear extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK/pERK) expression was measured by western blot analysis. Results: Treatment with carbachol (CCh) for 48h decreased cell number. Exposing K562 cells to CCh for 24h decreased the number of early apoptotic cells but did not change the number of late apoptotic and necrotic cells. CCh treatment for 48h increased the number of necrotic cells, but decreased the number of early and late apoptotic cells. In response to CCh, nuclear ERK expression was increased and this effect was reversed by 1,1-dimethyl-4-diphenylacetoxypiperidinium iodide (4DAMP). Nuclear pERK expression was decreased in CCh treated cells, 4DAMP did not reverse the effect. Conclusion: Our data suggest that cholinergic agonist CCh affects cell proliferation in K562 cells not only through muscarinic receptors but also through other cholinergic receptors.
