Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevelant cancers in males in many countries, increasing in frequency with age. PCa incidence and mortality rates are not evenly distributed worldwide. Family history is an established risk factor for prostate cancer and families demonstrating autosomal dominant or X-linked transmission of susceptibility have been observed. Although an increasing number of candidate genes or hereditary prostate cancer susceptibility have been identified, only 5 to 10 percent of prostate cancer cases in the population may arise from major susceptibility genes. A few risk factors for PCa development are advanced age, an intact androgen metabolism, ethnicity, and genetic background. Other genetic factors, in combination with possible environmental risk factors for prostate cancer, may have greater public health importance. Genetic polymorphisms that may be associated with prostate cancer risk are much more common in the population than are high-penetrance cancer susceptibility genes. In this study, the effect of N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) and Glutathione S-transferases (GSTM1 and GSTT1) were investigated, since polymorphism in these genes may alter their enzymatic activity and, therefore, their capacity to biotransform xenobiotic compounds. In order to evaluate the potential association between NAT2 , GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes and prostate cancer risk, a hospital based case control study was carried out in a Turkish population consisting of 30 histologically confirmed incident prostate cancer cases and 67 control subjects with no present or previous history of cancer. The GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes showed no significant differences between case and control groups, with respect to their frequencies and it was observed that GSTM1 null genotype was more common in cases with a 60% frequency. Even though the frequency of slow NAT2 acetylator genotype was 80% in cases and 50,7% in controls NAT2 rapid acetylator showed no association with prostate cancer statistically. These results suggested that GSTM1 null genotype is a susceptibility factor for prostate cancer, particularly in the presence of NAT2 slow acetylator genotype with no significance. Further studies with a larger size are required to confirm the presence and significance of this relationship.

Investigation of the effects of combine use of cisplatin and metformin on proliferation of prostate cancer cell lines and gstp, cyp17a1 and hexokinase II enzymes
Durukan, Özlem; Adalı, Orhan; Arslan, Şevki; Department of Biochemistry (2016)
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer type both in developed and developing countries. Since 2015, it has been seen as one of the main cause of death in males, both in the world and in our country. Current therapeutic approaches for prostate cancer generally have variable efficiency, develop metastasis and drug resistance, and have high toxicity to normal tissues. Hence, the searching for more effective strategies with moderate or any adverse effects for the chemopreventive intervention of those cancers...
Detection of bladder tumor recurrence by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as a novel method
Aydın, Özge Zelal; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2009)
Bladder cancer is one of the most common urogenital cancers worldwide. Two techniques commonly used for bladder cancer diagnosis are urine cytology and cystoscopy. Cytology is not sensitive for detecting tumors. Cystoscopy is an invasive technique which disturbs patient comfort. In the current study, we used Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy as a novel method which is rapid and non-invasive to investigate the bladder tumor recurrence using the bladder wash samples collected in the course of co...
N-acetyl transferase (NAT1&NAT2) and glutathione-S transferase (GSTM1&GSTT1) genetic polymorphisms in breast cancer
Atalay, Ayçin; Güray, Tülin; Department of Biology (2006)
Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy among women, especially in Western societies. Highly penetrant genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, together with the reproductive history can constitute only 30% of the cause, so there should be other common genes, which may play a role in breast carcinogenesis according to one's lifestyle. In our case, the effect of N-acetyl transferases (NAT1, NAT2) and glutathione-S transferases (GSTM1&GSTT1) were investigated, since variations in these genes may alter their enzym...
Comparison of the Diagnostic Accuracy of Next Generation Sequencing and Microarray Resequencing Methods for Detection of BRCA1 and BRCA2 Gene Mutations
Bahsi, Taha; Ergun, Sezen Güntekin; Ergun, Mehmet Ali; Perçin, E. Ferda (Gazi University, 2018-4-1)
Objective: Breast cancer constitutes 29 % of estimated new cases of cancer in women, and it is also one of the major cause of death in all cancer types. In this study, DNA samples of familial breast cancer patients with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations which had been analyzed using conventional DNA sequencing method, were also analyzed with new methods including microarray and next generation sequencing (NGS) in order to compare their results Methods: Seven patients with BRCA1 mutation, one patient with BRCA2 m...
DEVELOPMENT OF A HYDROGEL BASED PROSTATE TUMOR MODEL FOR CANCER CELL MIGRATION STUDIES
Demirkaya, Damla; Gözen, Ayşe Gül; Antmen Altunsoy, Ezgi; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2022-1-12)
Prostate cancer is the second most diagnosed cancer in men and relapse due to the metastasis of cancer cells is the main reason of the high number of deaths in prostate cancer patients. Thus, there is a growing need for a tumor model to study the prostate cancer metastasis. In this study, a 3D model consisting of two natural polymer hydrogels (methacrylated collagen and methacrylated hyaluronic acid) with tunable mechanical and chemical properties carrying spheroids of two different prostate cancer cell lin...
