    Targeting HDAC Enzymes by SAHA Enhances the Cytotoxic Effects of Cisplatin on Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells
    (Ondokuz Mayis Universitesi, 2024) Şansaçar, Merve; Pekin, Özge; Gencer Akçok, Emel Başak
    Chemotherapy is a widely used therapeutic approach to combat hematopoietic malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although cisplatin is known as the first-generation platinum-based chemotherapy inhibitor, the wide use of cisplatin eventually leads to drug resistance, which is the biggest impediment to cancer chemotherapy. Histone deacetylase enzyme (HDAC) inhibitors have the ability to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in different types of cancer, which stands as a promising alternative for those cancer patients not appropriate for intensive chemotherapy. This study concluded that there was a significant decrease in the proliferation of MOLM-13 and MV4-11 FLT3-ITD+ AML cell lines with the increasing SAHA and cisplatin concentrations in 48 hours using MTT cell proliferation assay. Moreover, the combination of SAHA and cisplatin led to a reduction in the proliferation of both cell lines correlated with the synergistic effect of the two drugs depending on the combination index (CI). Furthermore, investigating apoptosis for combined administration resulted in increased induction of apoptosis by Annexin-V/PI double staining. In conclusion, although additional studies are needed to fully elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying this combination, we propose a new approach to targeting AML, as AML increases over time with drug resistance and the consequent year-on-year increase in patient mortality. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Development of a Nanoparticle-Embedded Chitosan Sponge for Topical and Local Administration of Chemotherapeutic Agents
    (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) infocentral@asme.org, 2014-11-01) Goldberg, Manijeh; Manzi, Aaron; Aydin, Erkin; Singh, Gurtej; Khoshkenar, Payam; Birdi, Amritpreet; Chen, Julie Y.; Langer, Robert
    The following work describes the development of a novel noninvasive transmucosal drug delivery system, the chitosan sponge matrix (CSM). It is composed of cationic chitosan (CS) nanoparticles (NPs) that encapsulate cisplatin (CDDP) embedded within a polymeric mucoadhesive CS matrix. CSM is designed to swell up when exposed to moisture, facilitating release of the NPs via diffusion across the matrix. CSM is intended to be administered topically and locally to mucosal tissues, with its initial indication being oral cancer (OC). Currently, intravenous (IV) administered CDDP is the gold standard chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of OC. However, its clinical use has been limited by its renal and hemotoxicity profile. We aim to locally administer CDDP via encapsulation in CS NPs and deliver them directly to the oral cavity with CSM. It is hypothesized that such a delivery device will greatly reduce any systemic toxicity and increase antitumor efficacy. This paper describes the methods for developing CSM and maintaining the integrity of CDDP NPs embedded in the CSM. © 2016 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Cerium 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, Alaattin
    In 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.

    Anticancer Effect of Ethanolic Yellow Hawthorn Extract on Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells and Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells
    (Ondokuz Mayis Universitesi, 2025) Arslan, Ayşe Nur; Akçok, Ismail
    Cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal cell growth and invasion and metastasis of these cells to other tissues or organs of the body. Natural products have been used for centuries as drugs or in drug development, especially for the treatment of cancer. Besides, extracting natural products with several bioactive compounds has a promising effect on cancer treatment. In this study, we aimed to investigate the anticancer effect of the ethanolic extract of yellow hawthorn fruits on K562 (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia) and MOLM-13 (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) cell lines. The antiproliferative effect of the ethanolic extract of yellow hawthorn fruits was investigated in time-and dose-dependent manners. The Annexin-V/Propidium Iodide (PI) double staining was used to examine the apoptosis. Furthermore, cell cycle analysis is conducted by PI staining. The cell viability of K562 and MOLM-13 cell lines was significantly reduced by the ethanolic extract of yellow hawthorn fruits with IC50 values of 9144 µg/mL and 3515 µg/mL in 48-hour incubation time, respectively. Moreover, the results showed that the ethanolic extract of yellow hawthorn fruits caused an increased apoptosis by 12.7-and 8.87-fold changes in K562 and MOLM-13 cell lines compared to control groups, respectively. Ethanolic extract of yellow hawthorn fruit has reduced cell proliferation, induced apoptosis and arrested the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase by 71% in MOLM-13 and at G2/M phase by 80.3% and G0/G1 phase by 38.2 % in K562 cells. Further studies should be conducted to elucidate the mechanism of the effect of yellow hawthorn fruit on these cancer cells. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
