Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of cancer affecting children in the world and in our country. The exact molecular etiology of the disease still remains to be elucidated. This study hypothesized that four genes, namely CYP2E1*5B, *6, and *7B, NQO1*2 SNPs, GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null, alone or in combination, could contribute to the risk of development of childhood ALL. Also interactions of these polymorphisms with non-genetic risk factors were investigated. The genotyping of these polymorphisms were done on 209 healthy subjects, and 185 patients with childhood ALL, in Turkish population. Venous blood samples were collected and genomic DNA was isolated from these samples. Genotyping was done by PCR-RFLP techniques. In the case-control analyses for the risk of development of childhood ALL, only GSTT1 null was found to be associated with the development of disease (OR= 1.8, p=0.01). CYP2E1*5B and *6 combination showed an increased risk of 2.7 fold (p= 0.04). Also co-presence of CYP2E1*6-GSTT1 and CYP2E1*7B-GSTT1 polymorphisms increased the risk significantly above 4.0 fold. The risk increased more to 7.6 fold, when CYP2E1*5B,*6 and GSTT1 null were considered together, with borderline significance (p=0.04). When interaction of exposure to cigarette smoke and genetic polymorphisms were investigated, NQO1*2 and GSTM1 null were turned out to be significant risk factors for the development of disease when the parental or child’s postnatal exposure to cigarette smoke was considered. This study presented several new findings to the literature in terms of genetic epidemiology of childhood ALL. The present work would also contribute to public health in determining the susceptibility of the Turkish population to childhood ALL.

Multidrug resistance in logally advanced breast cancer Atalay, Mustafa Can; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biotechnology (2004) Breast cancer is the most frequently detected cancer among women. Early diagnosis leads to long term survival when the patients are treated with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy. Unfortunately, advanced disease could still be encountered in some patients resulting in a poorer prognosis. The primary treatment modality is chemotherapy for this group of patients. Drug resistance is a serious problem resulting in the use of different drugs during chemotherapy and knowing the possibility ...
Transcription pattern comparison of two ubiquitin specific proteases (usp6 and usp32) Tabası, Shiva Akhavan; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Department of Biology (2007) The incidence of breast cancer is 1 in 8 among women. Usually loss of tumor suppressor genes and overexpression of proto-oncogenes are known to be involved during mammary tumorigenesis. USP32 (Ubiquitin Specific Protease 32) gene is located on chromosomal band 17q23, a region of amplification in breast cancer. Gene amplification is known to be a common mechanism in breast cancer cells, through which proto-oncogenes are overexpressed and contribute to tumor progression. Presence of multiple oncogene candidat...
The effects of phenolic compound tannic acid on phase ii and cytochrome p450 dependent enzymes in rabbit liver and kidney Karakurt, Serdar; Adalı, Orhan; Department of Biochemistry (2008) Cancer is the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases in the world. Many of the chemical carcinogens need metabolic activation that catalyzed by cytochrome P450 and Phase II enzymes in order to exert their genotoxic and carcinogenic effects. Hence one possible mechanism is that phenolic compounds may alter anticarcinogenic effects is through an interaction with these enzymes either by the inhibition or activation of certain forms, leading to a reduced production of the ultimate carcinoge...
Contribution of different types of -omic data on personalized diagnosis of cancer Tanıl, Ezgi; Kızılilsoley, Nehir; Nikerel, Emrah (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) Cancer is a complex disease which is one of the main causes of death globally. Survival rate of cancer increases if early diagnosis and application of appropriate treatment are available [1,2]. Understanding differential response from one patient to another can aid in drug targeting, understanding disease progression and finding efficient treatment strategies. Tumour cells shown to have altered metabolism and the most commonly defined example is the Warburg effect in which tumour cells shown to use lactic a...
Differential gene expression analysis in drug resistant multiple myeloma cell lines Mutlu, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2009) The emergence of drug-resistance of tumor cells is a major complication for succesful chemotherapy. In this study, the molecular mechanisms of resistance to prednisone, vincristine and melphalan in multiple myeloma cell lines, RPMI-8226 and U-266 were investigated. Drug resistance was induced by application of the drugs by stepwise dose increments and confirmed by XTT cytotoxicity assay. Gene expression analysis demostrated that MDR1 gene is one of the most important factor causing the multidrug resistance ...
