Publication Metadata only Mesna (2-mercaptoethane sulfonate) prevents ischemia/reperfusion induced renal oxidative damage in rats(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2004) ŞENER, GÖKSEL; Kabasakal, L; Sehirli, AO; Cetinel, S; Cikler, E; Gedik, N; Sener, GReoxygenation of the ischemic tissue promotes the generation of various reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) which are known to have deleterious effects on various cellular functions. This study was designed to determine the possible protective effect of mesna (2-Mercaptoethane Sulfonate) on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Wistar albino rats were unilaterally nephrectomized, and 15 days later they were subjected to 45 min of renal pedicle occlusion followed by 6 h of reperfusion. Mesna (MESNA, 150 mg/kg, i.p.; an effective dose against I/R injury) or vehicle was administered twice, 15 min prior to ischemia and immediately before the reperfusion period. At the end of the reperfusion period, rats were killed by decapitation. Kidney samples were taken for histological examination or determination of the free radicals, renal malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Renal tissue collagen content, as a fibrosis marker was also determined. Creatinine and urea concentrations in blood were measured for the evaluation of renal function. The results demonstrated that renal I/R caused nephrotoxicity, as evidenced by increases in blood urea and creatinine levels, which was reversed by MESNA treatment. Increased free radical levels, as assessed by nitroblue-tetrazolium test were reduced with MESNA. Moreover, the decrease in GSH and increases in MDA levels, and MPO activity induced by I/R indicated that renal injury involves free radical formation. Treatment of rats with MESNA restored the reduced GSH levels while it decreased MDA levels as well as MPO activity. Increased collagen contents of the kidney tissues by I/R were reversed back to the control levels by MESNA treatment. Since MESNA administration reversed these oxidant responses, improved renal function and microscopic damage, it seems likely that MESNA protects kidney tissue against I/R induced oxidative damage.

O., Cetinel S., Sayiner S.OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study is to examine the effect of Ambroxol on TNF-α and IL-1β released after liver ischemia-reperfusion injury. BACKGROUND: Many drugs are being tried to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury, which is life threating problem after many liver surgeries. In this study, it was investigated whether Ambroxol reduces the release of pro-infl ammatory cytokines released after liver ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS: Twenty-four Wistar albino rats were divided into 3 groups as Control (CTR; n=8), hepatic ischemia reperfusion (H-IR; n=8) and hepatic ischemia reperfusion+Ambroxol (H-IR+AMB; n=8). In H-IR+AMB group, Ambroxol (30 mg/kg) was administered orally 30 minutes before ischemia period. In H-IR and H-IR+AMB groups underwent 45 minutes of hepatic ischemia followed by a 60-minute reperfusion period. After reperfusion period, tissue and blood samples were collected from euthanised animals. ALT, AST, ALP, LDH, TNF-α, IL-1β concentrations and liver tissues were evaluated. RESULTS: Serum ALT, ALP, AST, LDH, TNF-α and IL-1β values were lower in the H-IR+AMB group compared to the H-IR group. In the histopathological examination, hepatocyte degeneration and congestion in the H-IR group were higher than in the H-IR+AMB group.Publication Open Access Tooth replantation with adipose tissue stem cells and fibrin sealant: microscopic analysis of rat's teeth(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2016-12) YARAT, AYŞEN; Demirel, Sezin; Yalvac, Mehmet Emir; Tapsin, Sidika; Akyuz, Serap; Ak, Esin; Cetinel, Sule; Yarat, Aysen; Sahin, FikrettinTreatment for dental avulsion cases is early or late replantation of the traumatized teeth. Prognosis of the replanted tooth depends on the level of periodontal injury. Adipose tissue stem cells (ATSCs) were reported to improve periodontal ligament tissue (PDL) regeneration. Fibrin sealant (FS) contains thrombin and fibrinogen to form an adhesive fibrin clot routinely used in surgical procedures. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of ATSCs + FS treatment on healing of PDL after tooth replantation in a rat model. After 60 min of extraction, maxillary central incisor teeth were replanted with ATSCs + FS. Two months later, the rats were sacrificed and hemimaxilla blocks were dissected out for histological analysis. The results showed that there was a significant improvement in histological findings of ATSCs + FS treated group compared to only FS treated and non-treated groups corresponding to reduced inflammatory resorption and increased new PDL formation. Furthermore, the ankylosis levels were lowered after ATSCs + FS treatment. Singular use of FS improved PDL healing moderately. Our results indicated that ATSCs + FS treatment improves PDL healing after tooth replantation suggesting a new therapeutic potential in the treatment of dental avulsion cases.Publication Metadata only alpha-lipoic acid protects against renal ischaemia-reperfusion injury in rats(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2008) YÜKSEL, MERAL; Sehirli, Oezer; Sener, Emre; Cetinel, Ule; Yueksel, Meral; Gedik, Nursal; Sener, Goeksel1. Oxygen free radicals are important components involved in the pathophysiological processes observed during ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R). The present study was designed to assess the possible protective effect of et-lipoic acid (ALA) on renal I/R injury. 2. Wistar albino rats were unilaterally nephrectomized and subjected to 45 min renal pedicle occlusion followed by 24 h reperfusion. Saline or ALA (100 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered 15 min prior to ischaemia and immediately before the reperfusion period. At the end of 24 h, rats were decapitated and trunk blood was collected. Creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity were measured in serum samples, whereas tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and total anti-oxidant capacity (AOC) were assayed in plasma samples. 3. Kidney samples were taken for the determination of tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels, as well as Na/K-ATPase and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. The formation of reactive oxygen species in renal tissue samples was monitored using a chemiluminescence (CL) technique with luminol and lucigenin probes. Oxidant-induced tissue fibrosis was determined by tissue collagen content and the extent of tissue injury was analysed microscopically. 4. Ischaemia-reperfusion caused a significant increases in blood creatinine, BUN, LDH, IL-1 beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha and 8-OHdG, whereas AOC was decreased. In kidney samples from the I/R group, MDA, MPO, collagen and CL levels were found to be increased significantly; however, glutathione levels and Na/KATPase activity were decreased. Conversely, ALA treatment reversed all these biochemical indices, as well as histopathological alterations induced by I/R. 5. In conclusion, these data suggest that ALA reverses I/R-induced oxidant responses and improves microscopic damage and renal function. Thus, it seems likely that ALA protects kidney tissues by inhibiting neutrophil infiltration, balancing the oxidant-anti-oxidant status and regulating the generation of inflammatory mediators.Publication Metadata only The effect of Momordica charantia intake on the estrogen receptors ESR alpha/ESR beta gene levels and apoptosis on uterine tissue in ovariectomy rats(SPRINGER, 2015) YOLDEMİR, AHMET TEVFİK; Cevik, Ozge; Akpinar, Hikmet; Oba, Rabia; Cilingir, Ozlem Tugce; Ozdemir, Zarife Nigar; Cetinel, Sule; Yoldemir, TevfikEstrogen or combinational hormone therapy can protect to menopausal symptoms but exogenous estrogen therapy has some potential risks which in turns lead to the appearance of various diseases. In recent years plants with high phytoestrogen content are recommended as therapeutic agents for postmenopausal hormonal treatment. In this research, we investigated the effects of Momordica charantia (MC) on the estrogen production and E2 as well as anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic role on the ovariectomy rat model. The rats were ovariectomized and fed on 2 g/kg of fruit extra of MC for 30 days by gavage. 17-beta estradiol (E2) and 8-OHdG levels in serum, markers of oxidative damage of ROS and ESR alpha, ESR beta and NF-kB gene levels were measured in uterus horn tissue. Caspase-3, caspase-9, TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-10, Bcl-2 and Nf-kB proteins expression were assessed by western blotting. Structural changes in tissue were examined with H&E staining. MC administration also stimulated the E2 production and ESR alpha/ESR beta gene levels and the inhibited oxidative damage. Furthermore, MC treatment enhanced anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory process and tissue regeneration. Data herein support that MC directly regulates uterine estrogen response and may serve as a new phytoestrogenic substance for the treatment of post-menopausal symptoms.Publication Metadata only Melatonin protects against ischemic heart failure in rats(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2013) ÖZSAVCI, DERYA; Sehirli, Ahmet Ozer; Koyun, Derya; Tetik, Sermin; Ozsavci, Derya; Yiginer, Omer; Cetinel, Sule; Tok, Olgu Enis; Kaya, Zehra; Akkiprik, Mustafa; Kilic, Ertugrul; Sener, GokselIschemic injury, which occurs as a result of sympathetic hyperactivity, plays an important role in heart failure. Melatonin is thought to have antiatherogenic, antioxidant, and vasodilatory effects. In this study, we investigated whether melatonin protects against ischemic heart failure (HF). In Wistar albino rats, HF was induced by left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery ligation and rats were treated with either vehicle or melatonin (10 mg/kg) for 4 weeks. At the end of this period, echocardiographic measurements were recorded and the rats were decapitated to obtain plasma and cardiac tissue samples. Lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lysosomal enzymes (beta-D-glucuronidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-D-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase, acid phosphatase, and cathepsin-D) were studied in plasma samples, while malondialdehyde and glutathione levels and Na+, K+-ATPase, caspase-3 and myeloperoxidase activities were determined in the cardiac samples. Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) and caveolin-3 levels in cardiac tissues were evaluated using Western blot analyses. Furthermore, caveolin-3 levels were also determined by histological analyses. In the vehicle-treated HF group, cardiotoxicity resulted in decreased cardiac Na+, K+-ATPase and SERCA activities, GSH contents and caveolin-3 levels, while plasma LDH, CK, and lysosomal enzyme activities and cardiac MDA and Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities were found to be increased. On the other hand, melatonin treatment reversed all the functional and biochemical changes. The present results demonstrate that Mel ameliorates ischemic heart failure in rats. These observations highlight that melatonin is a promising supplement for improving defense mechanisms in the heart against oxidative stress caused by heart failure.Publication Metadata only Beneficial effects of quercetin on rat urinary bladder after spinal cord injury(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2013) ŞENER, AZİZE; Cevik, Ozge; Ersahim, Mehmet; Sener, T. Emre; Tinay, Ilker; Tarcan, Tufan; Cetinel, Sule; Sener, Azize; Toklu, Hale Z.; Sener, GokselBackground: Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to an inflammatory response and generates oxidative stress, which has deleterious effects on the function of several organ systems, including the urinary bladder. The present study was designed to investigate the putative beneficial effect of quercetin against SCI-induced bladder damage. Materials and methods: In order to induce SCI, a standard weight-drop method that induced a moderately severe injury (100 g/cm force) at T10 was used. Injured animals were given either 20 mg/kg quercetin or vehicle 15 min post injury and repeated twice daily for 7 d. After decapitation, bladder strips were placed in organ bath and isometric contractions to carbachol (10(-8) to10(-4) M) were recorded. In order to examine oxidative tissue injury, luminol chemiluminescence, nitric oxide, malondialdehyde, and glutathione levels and superoxide dismutase, myeloperoxidase, and caspase 3 activities of bladder tissues were measured along with histologic evaluations. Proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 beta, and interleukin 6 were also assayed in blood samples. Results: In the injured animals, the contractile responses of the bladder strips were lower than those of the control group and were reversed by treatment with quercetin. On the other hand, increase in nitric oxide, malondialdehyde, luminol chemiluminescence levels, and myeloperoxidase and caspase 3 activities of tissues in the SCI group were significantly reversed by quercetin treatment. Similarly, plasma cytokine levels, which were elevated in the vehicle-treated SCI group, were reduced with quercetin treatment. Furthermore, treatment with quercetin also prevented the depletion of tissue glutathione levels and superoxide dismutase activity seen in the SCI group. Conclusions: According to the results, quercetin exerts beneficial effects against SCI-induced oxidative damage through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. (c) 2013 Elsevier Inc.

We investigated the possible preventive and therapeutic effect of Urtica dioica ethanol extract (UD) on ethylene glycol-induced nephrolithiasis model in rats. Sprague-Daw ley rats were divided into lour groups (n = 10). The control group was given normal drinking water for 8 weeks and was administered vehicle by gastric gavage. Stone formation was induced by adding 0.75% ethylene glycol (EG) to their drinking water. UD (700 mg/kg) was given orally lor 8 weeks to the preventive group and I or last 4 weeks to the treatment respectively. At the end of the experiment, urine, blood samples and kidney tissues were obtained. In 24-hour urine samples, calcium and citrate levels were decreased and oxalate levels were increased in EG whereas LID treatment groups reversed these parameters back to control levels. In addition, serum levels of creatinine and urea were increased in EG while LID significantly reduced these parameters. Malondialdehyde, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and tumor necrosis alpha levels, and caspase- 3 and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase activities were elevated in EG group and showed a decrease in LID treated groups. Glutathione level was decreased in EG group, whereas it was increased in UD preventive group. Histological examination showed an improvement in UD treated groups. Our results suggest that UD is effective both in prevention and treatment for kidney stones. The mechanism underlying this effect may be the antioxidant effect of UD and the effect on the concentration of stone-forming components in the urine.Publication Open Access The preventive and curative effects of melatonin against abdominal aortic aneurysm in rats(MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2018-05) ARSAN, SİNAN; Tekin, Gozde; Isbir, Selim; Sener, Goksel; Cevik, Ozge; Cetinel, Sule; Dericioglu, Okan; Arsan, Sinan; Cobanoglu, AdnanObjective: Oxygen free radicals are important components involved in the histopathologic tissue alterations observed during abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). This study examined whether melatonin has protective or therapeutic effects against AAAs. Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups. A CaCl2 model was used to induce AAA. Starting on the operation day (Mel+AAA+Mel group) or 4 weeks after the operation (AAA+Mel group), the rats received intraperitoneal melatonin (10 mg/kg/day) for 6 and 2 weeks, respectively. The control and AAA groups received vehicle for 2 weeks after the sham operation and AAA induction, respectively. Angiographic measurements were recorded at the beginning, week 4, and week 6 of the study. After decapitation, aorta tissues were taken for the measurement of malondialdehyde, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, glutathione levels, and myeloperoxidase and caspase-3 activity. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9, tumor necrosis factor-a, and inducible nitric oxide synthase protein expressions were analyzed by Western blot technique. Aortic tissues were also examined by light microscopy. Results: CaCl2 caused an inflammatory response and oxidative damage indicated by rises in malondialdehyde and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine levels. Myeloperoxidase and caspase-3 activities were increased, but glutathione levels were reduced. On the one hand, MMP-2, MMP-9, tumor necrosis factor-a, and inducible nitric oxide synthase protein expressions were increased in the vehicle-treated AAA group. On the other hand, melatonin treatment reversed all of these biochemical indices and histopathologic alterations. Conclusions: According to the data, although melatonin tended to reverse the biochemical parameters given on week 4, the preventive effect is more pronounced when given concomitantly with AAA induction because values were closer to the control levels.Publication Open Access Neuroprotective Effects of Alpha-Lipoic Acid in Experimental Spinal Cord Injury in Rats(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2010-01) VELİOĞLU ÖĞÜNÇ, AYLİZ; Toklu, Hale Z.; Hakan, Tayfun; Celik, Hasan; Biber, Necat; Erzik, Can; Ogunc, Ayliz V.; Akakin, Dilek; Cikler, Esra; Cetinel, Sule; Ersahin, Mehmet; Sener, GokselBackground: Oxidative stress is a mediator of secondary injury to the spinal cord following trauma. Objective: To investigate the putative neuroprotective effect of a-lipoic acid (LA), a powerful antioxidant, in a rat model of spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: Wistar albino rats were divided as control, vehicle-treated SCI, and LA-treated SCI groups. To induce SCI, a standard weight-drop method that induced a moderately severe injury (100 g/cm force) at T10 was used. Injured animals were given either 50 mg/kg LA or saline at 30 minutes postinjury by intraperitoneal injection. At 7 days postinjury, neurologic examination was performed, and rats were decapitated. Spinal cord samples were taken for histologic examination or determination of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and DNA fragmentation. Formation of reactive oxygen species in spinal cord tissue samples was monitored by using a chemiluminescence (CL) technique. Results: SCI caused a significant decrease in spinal cord GSH content, which was accompanied with significant increases in luminol CL and MDA levels, MPO activity, and DNA damage. Furthermore, LA treatment reversed all these biochemical parameters as well as SO-induced histopathologic alterations. Conversely, impairment of the neurologic function caused by SCI remained unchanged. Conclusion: The present study suggests that LA reduces SCI-induced oxidative stress and exerts neuroprotection by inhibiting lipid peroxidation, glutathione depletion, and DNA fragmentation.
