Nowadays, the effectiveness of cancer treatments is being questioned. Despite the increasing availability of treatment options, millions of patients die from cancer every year. Due to metastasis, relapse, heterogeneity, resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and also patient-specific molecular characteristics, existing cancer therapies respond differently in different patients. In this context, there is a great need for a personalized medicine approach. It is important to develop clinical decision support systems (CDSS) that interrogate treatment efficacy using biomarkers at the individual molecular level for precision oncology. The key components of these CDSSs are gene panels consisting of disease-specific molecular biomarkers that are targeted by currently approved drugs and guide treatment. In this study, we developed a novel strategy to develop next generation sequencing (NGS)-based gene panels that enable effective treatment decision-making by integrating data from multiple biological levels (genomics, pharmacogenomics, drug-protein interactions, drug-drug interactions, etc.). The goal was to develop gene panels primarily for colorectal, glioblastoma, breast, and lung cancers to address the most pressing needs of the clinic. These gene panels will enable more accurate decisions about effective cancer treatments and pave the way for new clinical trials, clinical applications, and scientific research projects. As a complement to CDSSs, they will help reduce the impact of disease and the economic burden on public health and the national health care system.

Alternative Polyadenylation patterns for novel gene discovery and classification in cancer Beğik, Oğuzhan; Öyken, Merve; Can, Tolga; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif (2017-06-03) Certain aspects of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer patients are still important challenges to be addressed. Therefore, we propose a pipeline to uncover patterns of alternative polyadenylation (APA), a hidden complexity in cancer transcriptomes, to further accelerate efforts to discover novel cancer genes and pathways. Here, we analyzed expression data for 1,045 cancer patients and found a significant shift in usage of poly(A) signals in cancers. Using machine-learning techniques, we further def...
Alternative Polyadenylation Patterns for Novel Gene Discovery and Classification in Cancer BEGIK, Oguzhan; ÖYKEN, MERVE; ALICAN, Tuna Cinkilli; Can, Tolga; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif (2017-07-01) Certain aspects of diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer patients are still important challenges to be addressed. Therefore, we propose a pipeline to uncover patterns of alternative polyadenylation (APA), a hidden complexity in cancer transcriptomes, to further accelerate efforts to discover novel cancer genes and pathways. Here, we analyzed expression data for 1045 cancer patients and found a significant shift in usage of poly(A) signals in common tumor types (breast, colon, lung, prostate, gastric...
Tailoring magnetic PLGA nanoparticles suitable for doxorubicin delivery Tansik, Gulistan; YAKAR, ARZU; Gündüz, Ufuk (2013-12-07) One of the main problems of current cancer chemotherapy is the lack of selectivity of anti-cancer drugs to tumor cells, which leads to systemic toxicity and adverse side effects. In order to overcome these limitations, researches on controlled drug delivery systems have gained much attention. Nanoscale-based drug delivery systems provide tumor targeting. Among many types of nanocarriers, superparamagnetic nanoparticles with their biocompatible polymer coatings can be targeted to an intented site by an exter...
Investigaton of chemopreventive properties of Urtica Dioica L., in MCF-7 and MDA231 breast cancer cell lines Güler, Elif; İşcan, Mesude; Department of Biology (2011) Cancer is a major health problem in developing world with mostly unsufficient treatment. Cancer prevention through dietary modification appears to be a practical and cost effective possibility. The aim of present study is to investigate the chemical components of “Urtica diocia,L (U. diocia) grown in Turkey” and the possible protective potential of its aqueous extract against breast cancer cell lines. U. diocia was extracted by maceration method which was performed for 6,12, 24, and 36 hours, at 50°C, 37°C,...
Novel ferrocenyl pyrazoles inhibit breast cancer cell viability via induction of apoptosis and inhibition of PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 signaling Atmaca, Harika; Ozkan, Ayse Nur; Zora, Metin (2017-02-01) Despite the advances in early detection and targeted therapies, chemotherapy is still of vital importance in breast cancer treatment. However, development of drug resistance and serious side effects limits their usage. Thus, there is an urgent need for safer and more effective agents against breast cancer. We have previously described the synthesis of a number of pyrazole derivatives, and in the current study, we have investigated the effects of two different ferrocenyl pyrazole (FP) derivates, 5-ferrocenyl...
