Article Citation - WoS: 43Citation - Scopus: 49The Pleiotropic Effects of Fisetin and Hesperetin on Human Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Cells Are Mediated Through Apoptosis, Cell Cycle Arrest, and Alterations in Signaling Networks(Sage Publications Ltd, 2015-06-17) Adan, Aysun; Baran, YusufFisetin and hesperetin, flavonoids from various plants, have several pharmaceutical activities including antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects. However, studies elucidating the role and the mechanism(s) of action of fisetin and hesperetin in acute promyelocytic leukemia are absent. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of the antiproliferative and apoptotic actions exerted by fisetin and hesperetin on human HL60 acute promyelocytic leukemia cells. The viability of HL60 cells was evaluated using the MTT assay, apoptosis by annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) staining and cell cycle distribution using flow cytometry, and changes in caspase-3 enzyme activity and mitochondrial transmembrane potential. Moreover, we performed whole-genome microarray gene expression analysis to reveal genes affected by fisetin and hesperetin that can be important for developing of future targeted therapy. Based on data obtained from microarray analysis, we also described biological networks modulated after fisetin and hesperetin treatment by KEGG and IPA analysis. Fisetin and hesperetin treatment showed a concentration- and time-dependent inhibition of proliferation and induced G2/M arrest for both agents and G0/G1 arrest for hesperetin at only the highest concentrations. There was a disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential together with increased caspase-3 activity. Furthermore, fisetin- and hesperetin-triggered apoptosis was confirmed by annexin V/PI analysis. The microarray gene profiling analysis revealed some important biological pathways including mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and inhibitor of DNA binding (ID) signaling pathways altered by fisetin and hesperetin treatment as well as gave a list of genes modulated a parts per thousand yen2-fold involved in cell proliferation, cell division, and apoptosis. Altogether, data suggested that fisetin and hesperetin have anticancer properties and deserve further investigation.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 30Revealing Genome-Wide mRNA and MicroRNA Expression Patterns in Leukemic Cells Highlighted HSA-MIR as a Tumor Suppressor for Regain of Chemotherapeutic Imatinib Response due to Targeting STAT5A(Sage Publications Ltd, 2015-05-08) Kaymaz, Burcin Tezcanli; Gunel, Nur Selvi; Ceyhan, Metin; Cetintas, Vildan Bozok; Ozel, Buket; Yandim, Melis Kartal; Can, Buket KosovaBCR-ABL oncoprotein stimulates cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). For cure, imatinib is a widely used tyrosine kinase inhibitor, but developing chemotherapeutic resistance has to be overcome. In this study, we aimed to determine differing genome-wide MicroRNA (miRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression profiles in imatinib resistant (K562/IMA-3 mu M) and parental cells by targeting STAT5A via small interfering RNA (siRNA) applications. After determining possible therapeutic miRNAs, we aimed to check their effects upon cell viability and proliferation, apoptosis, and find a possible miRNAArticle Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 20Resveratrol Triggers Anti-Proliferative and Apoptotic Effects in FLT3-LTD Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells via Inhibiting Ceramide Catabolism Enzymes(Humana Press inc, 2022-01-20) Ersoz, Nur Sebnem; Adan, AysunResveratrol possesses well-defined anti-carcinogenic activities. However, how resveratrol exerts its anti-leukemic actions by modulating anti-apoptotic ceramide catabolism enzymes, mainly sphingosine kinase (SK-1) and glucosylceramide synthase (GCS), in FLT3-ITD AML remains unclear. Resveratrol, SKI II (SK inhibitor) and PDMP (GCS inhibitor) were evaluated alone or in combinations for their effect on cell proliferation (MTT assay), apoptosis (annexin V-FITC/PI staining by flow cytometry) and cell cycle progression (PI staining by flow cytometry) in MOLM-13 and MV4-11 cells. The combination indexes (CIs) were calculated based on cell proliferation data using CompuSyn software. Caspase-3 and PARP activation, changes in SK-1 and GCS levels by resveratrol alone or PARP cleavage in co-treatments were determined by western blot. Resveratrol and inhibitors alone inhibited cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Resveratrol downregulated SK-1 and GCS expression in both cell lines. It induced apoptosis by phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure together with caspase-3 and PARP cleavage and arrested the cell cycle slightly at the S phase. Co-administrations intensified resveratrol's effect by inhibiting cell proliferation synergistically (A CI of < 1) or additively (A CI 1.0-1.1) and inducing apoptosis via PS relocalization and PARP cleavage. Resveratrol plus SKI II did not affect cell cycle progression significantly, however, resveratrol plus PDMP blocked cycle progression at G0/G1 and S phases for MOLM-13 cells and MV4-11 cells, respectively. Overall, resveratrol may inhibit FLT3-ITD AML cell proliferation by inhibiting ceramide catabolism and be evaluated as a chemopreventive after detailed analysis of the crosstalk between resveratrol and ceramide catabolism pathway.Article Citation - WoS: 40Citation - Scopus: 49Fisetin and Hesperetin Induced Apoptosis and Cell Cycle Arrest in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells Accompanied by Modulation of Cellular Signaling(Sage Publications Ltd, 2015-09-25) Adan, Aysun; Baran, YusufFisetin and hesperetin, naturally occurring flavonoids, have been reported as novel antioxidants with chemopreventive/chemotherapeutic potential against various types of cancer. However, their mechanism of action in CML is still unknown. This particular study aims to evaluate the therapeutic potentials of fisetin and hesperetin and their effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle progression in human K562 CML cells. The results indicated that fisetin and hesperetin inhibited cell proliferation and triggered programmed cell death in these cells. The latter was confirmed by mitochondrial membrane depolarization and an increase in caspase-3 activation. In addition to that, we have detected S and G2/Mcell cycle arrests and G0/G1 arrest upon fisetin and hesperetin treatment, respectively. To identify the altered genes and genetic networks in response to fisetin and hesperetin, whole-genome microarray analysis was performed. The microarray gene profiling analysis revealed some important signaling pathways including JAK/STAT pathway, KIT receptor signaling, and growth hormone receptor signaling that were altered upon fisetin and hesperetin treatment. Moreover, microarray data suggested potential candidate genes for targeted CML therapy. Fisetin and hesperetin significantly modulated the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation and division, apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, and other significant cellular processes such as replication, transcription, and translation. In conclusion, our results suggest that fisetin and hesperetin as potential natural agents for CML therapy.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Ethacrynic Acid and Cinnamic Acid Combination Exhibits Selective Anticancer Effects on K562 Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells(Springer, 2022-05-18) Yenigul, Munevver; Akcok, Ismail; Gencer Akcok, Emel BasakBackground Despite the recent advances in chemotherapy, the outcomes and the success of these treatments still remain insufficient. Novel combination treatments and treatment strategies need to be developed in order to achieve more effective treatment. This study was designed to investigate the combined effect of ethacrynic acid and cinnamic acid on cancer cell lines. Methods The anti-proliferative effect of ethacrynic acid and cinnamic acid was investigated by MTT cell viability assay in three different cancer cell lines. Combination indexes were calculated using CompuSyn software. Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometric Annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining. The effect of the inhibitors on cell cycle distribution was measured by propidium iodide staining. Results The combination treatment of ethacrynic acid and cinnamic acid decreased cell proliferation significantly, by 63%, 75% and 70% for K562, HepG2 and TFK-1 cells, respectively. A 5.5-fold increase in the apoptotic cell population was observed after combination treatment of K562 cells. The population of apoptotic cells increased by 9.3 and 0.4% in HepG2 and TFK-1 cells, respectively. Furthermore, cell cycle analysis shows significant cell cycle arrest in S and G2/M phase for K562 cells and non-significant accumulation in G0/G1 phase for TFK-1 and HepG2 cells. Conclusions Although there is a need for further investigation, our results suggest that the inhibitors used in this study cause a decrease in cellular proliferation, induce apoptosis and cause cell cycle arrest.Article Citation - Scopus: 9Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Biosynthesized Using Fresh Green Walnut Shell in Microwave Environment and Their Anticancer Effect on Breast Cancer Cells(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022-07-12) Sulak, Mine; Turgut, Gurbet Çelik; Sen, AlaattinIn this study, cerium oxide nanoparticles (CONPs) were synthesized using fresh green walnut shell extract in microwave environment. The morphology and structure of the CONPs were determined using ultraviolet-visible (UV/VIS), attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Crystal purple staining, Annexin V-FITC detection, RT-PCR, P53, and NF-κB luciferase reporter assays were performed to evaluate the mechanism of action of CONPs in breast cancer cell lines (MCF7). The biosynthesized CONPs showed cytotoxic effects and induced apoptosis in MCF7 cells. Furthermore, CONPs induced P53 expression and suppressed NF-κB gene expression, both of which were confirmed using reporter assays. Based on the present results, it was concluded that CONPs can induce apoptosis by acting on P53 at the transcriptional level and may cause cell death by suppressing NF-κB-mediated transcription. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 23Apoptotic Effects of Non-Edible Parts of Punica Granatum on Human Multiple Myeloma Cells(Sage Publications Ltd, 2015-08-29) Kiraz, Yagmur; Neergheen-Bhujun, Vidushi S.; Rummun, Nawraj; Baran, YusufMultiple myeloma is of great concern since existing therapies are unable to cure this clinical condition. Alternative therapeutic approaches are mandatory, and the use of plant extracts is considered interesting. Punica granatum and its derived products were suggested as potential anticancer agents due to the presence of bioactive compounds. Thus, polypenolic-rich extracts of the non-edible parts of P. granatum were investigated for their antiproliferative and apoptotic effects on U266 multiple myeloma cells. We demonstrated that there were dose-dependent decreases in the proliferation of U266 cells in response to P. granatum extracts. Also, exposure to the extracts triggered apoptosis with significant increases in loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in U266 cells exposed to the leaves and stem extracts, while the flower extract resulted in slight increases in loss of MMP. These results were confirmed by Annexin-V analysis. These results documented the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of P. granatum extracts on human U266 multiple myeloma cells via disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential and increasing cell cycle arrest. The data suggest that the extracts can be envisaged in cancer chemoprevention and call for further exploration into the potential application of these plant parts.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10An Answer to Colon Cancer Treatment by Mesenchymal Stem Cell Originated from Adipose Tissue(Mashhad Univ Med Sciences, 2018) Iplik, Elif Sinem; Ertugrul, Baris; Kozanoglu, Ilknur; Baran, Yusuf; Cakmakoglu, BediaObjective(s): Colon cancer is risen up with its complex mechanism that directly impacts on its treatment as well as its common prevalence. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been considered as a therapeutic candidate for conventional disease including cancer. In this research, we have focused on apoptotic effects of adipose tissue-derived MSCs in colon cancer. Materials and Methods: MSCs were obtained from adipose tissue and characterized by Flowcytometer using suitable antibodies. MSCs, HT-29, HCT-116, RKO and healthy cell line MRC5 were cultured by different seeding procedure. After cell viability assay, changes in caspase 3 enzyme activity and the level of phosphatidylserine were measured. Results: For cell viability assay, a 48 hr incubation period was chosen to seed all cells together. There was a 1.36-fold decrease in caspase 3 enzyme activity by co-treatment of RKO and MSCs in addition to 2.02-fold decrease in HT-29 and MSCs co-treatment, and 1.103-fold increase in HCT-116 and MSCs. The results demonstrated that HCT-116 led to the highest rate of apoptotic cell death (7.5%) compared with other cells. Conclusion: We suggest that MSCs might remain a new treatment option for cancer by its differentiation and repair capacity.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3A Novel Natural Product, KL-21, Inhibits Proliferation and Induces Apoptosis in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Cells(Galenos Yayincilik, 2015-06-05) Gokbulut, Aysun Adan; Yasar, Mustafa; Baran, YusufObjective: The aims of this study were to examine the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of KL-21, a novel plant product (produced by Naturin Natural Products, Izmir, Turkey), on 232B4 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells and to determine the cytotoxic effects on healthy BEAS-2B human bronchial epithelial cells. Materials and Methods: The cytotoxic effect of KL-21 was determined by MTT cell proliferation assay. Changes in caspase-3 enzyme activity were measured using the caspase-3 colorimetric assay. Changes in mitochondrial membrane potential were determined using the JC-1 dye-based method. Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining was performed to measure the apoptotic cell population. Effects of KL-21 on cell cycle profiles of CLL cells were investigated by flow cytometry. Results: We detected time- and concentration-dependent increases in the cytotoxic effect of KL-21 on 232B4 CLL cells. However, we also showed that, especially at higher concentrations, KL-21 was less cytotoxic towards BEAS-2B healthy cells than towards CLL cells. Annexin-V/PI double staining results showed that the apoptotic cell population increased in 232B4 cells. Increasing concentrations of KL-21 increased caspase-3 enzyme activity and induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. KL-21 administration resulted in small increases in the percentage of the cells in the G0/G1 phase while it decreased the S phase cell population up to 1 mg/mL. At the highest concentration, most of the cells accumulated in the G0/G1 phase. Conclusion: KL-21 has a growth-inhibitory effect on 232B4 CLL cells. KL-21 causes apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1.
