Article Citation - Scopus: 23Synthesis and Comprehensive in Vivo Activity Profiling of Olean-12-en-28-ol, 3β-Pentacosanoate in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis: A Natural Remyelinating and Anti-Inflammatory Agent(American Chemical Society, 2023-01-04) Şenol, Halil; Ozgun-Acar, Özden; Daǧ, Aydan; Eken, Ahmet; Guner, Hüseyin; Aykut, Zaliha Gamze; Sen, AlaattinMultiple sclerosis (MS) treatment has received much attention, yet there is still no certain cure. We herein investigate the therapeutic effect of olean-12-en-28-ol, 3β-pentacosanoate (OPCA) on a preclinical model of MS. First, OPCA was synthesized semisynthetically and characterized. Then, the mice with MOG<inf>35-55</inf>-induced experimental autoimmune/allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) were given OPCA along with a reference drug (FTY720). Biochemical, cellular, and molecular analyses were performed in serum and brain tissues to measure anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective responses. OPCA treatment protected EAE-induced changes in mouse brains maintaining blood-brain barrier integrity and preventing inflammation. Moreover, the protein and mRNA levels of MS-related genes such as HLD-DR1, CCL5, TNF-α, IL6, and TGFB1 were significantly reduced in OPCA-treated mouse brains. Notably, the expression of genes, including PLP, MBP, and MAG, involved in the development and structure of myelin was significantly elevated in OPCA-treated EAE. Furthermore, therapeutic OPCA effects included a substantial reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines in the serum of treated EAE animals. Lastly, following OPCA treatment, the promoter regions for most inflammatory regulators were hypermethylated. These data support that OPCA is a valuable and appealing candidate for human MS treatment since OPCA not only normalizes the pro- and anti-inflammatory immunological bias but also stimulates remyelination in EAE. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 18Obesity Induced by High-Fat Diet Is Associated With Critical Changes in Biological and Molecular Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Present in Visceral Adipose Tissue(Impact Journals LLC, 2020-12-27) Acar, Mustafa Burak; Ayaz-Guner, Serife; Di Bernardo, Giovanni D.; Guner, Hüseyin; Murat, Ayşegül; Peluso, G. F.; Galderisi, UmbertoThe mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) residing within the stromal component of visceral adipose tissue appear to be greatly affected by obesity, with impairment of their functions and presence of senescence. To gain further insight into these phenomena, we analyzed the changes in total proteome content and secretome of mouse MSCs after a high-fat diet (HFD) treatment compared to a normal diet (ND). In healthy conditions, MSCs are endowed with functions mainly devoted to vesicle trafficking. These cells have an immunoregulatory role, affecting leukocyte activation and migration, acute inflammation phase response, chemokine signaling, and platelet activities. They also present a robust response to stress. We identified four signaling pathways (TGF-β, VEGFR2, HMGB1, and Leptin) that appear to govern the cells’ functions. In the obese mice, MSCs showed a change in their functions. The immunoregulation shifted toward pro-inflammatory tasks with the activation of interleukin-1 pathway and of Granzyme A signaling. Moreover, the methionine degradation pathway and the processing of capped intronless pre-mRNAs may be related to the inflammation process. The signaling pathways we identified in ND MSCs were replaced by MET, WNT, and FGFR2 signal transduction, which may play a role in promoting inflammation, cancer, and aging © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 18Genomic, Probiotic, and Metabolic Potentials of Liquorilactobacillus Nagelii AGA58, a Novel Bacteriocinogenic Motile Strain Isolated From Lactic Acid-Fermented Shalgam(Soc Bioscience Bioengineering Japan, 2023-01) Yetiman, Ahmet Evren; Ortakci, FatihThis study aimed to perform genomic, probiotic, and metabolic characterization of a novel Liquorilactobacillus nagelii AGA58 isolated from a lactic acid-fermented shalgam beverage to understand its metabolic potentials and probiotic features. AGA58 is gram-positive, motile, catalase-negative and appears as short rods under the light-microscope. The AGA58 chromosome comprises a single linear chromosome of 2,294,635 bp that is predicted to carry 2135 coding sequences, including 45 tRNA genes, 3 mRNA, and 3 rRNA operons. The genome has a GDC content of 36.9%, including 55 pseudogenes and a single intact prophage. AGA58 is micro-anaerobic due to achieving a shorter doubling time and faster growth rate than micro-aerophilic conditions. It carries flagellar biosynthesis protein-encoding genes predicting motile behavior, which was confirmed with the in vitro motility test. AGA58 is an obligatory homofermentative lactobacillus that can ferment hexose sugars such as galactose, glucose, fructose, sucrose, mannose, N-acetyl glucosamine, maltose, and trehalose to lactate through glycolysis. No acid production from pentoses implies that five-carbon sugars are being utilized for purine and pyrimidine synthesis. Putative pyruvate metabolism revealed formate, malate, oxaloacetate, acetate, acetaldehyde, acetoin, and lactate forms from pyruvate. AGA58 is predicted to encode the LuxS gene and biosynthesis of class IIa and Blp family class-II bacteriocins suggesting this bacterium's antimicrobial potential, linked to antagonism tests that AGA58 can inhibit Escherichia coli ATCC 43895, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC 14028, and Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 13883. Moreover, AGA58 is tolerant to acid and bile concentrations simulating the human gastrointestinal conditions depicting the probiotic potential of the organism as the first report in literature within the same species.
