Stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide and results in serious disabilities. Cytochrome P450 1A1 gene (CYP1A1) is a highly polymorphic gene encoding its corresponding xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme which is responsible from the metabolism of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are engaged with the formation of free radicals. Atherosclerosis is a major cause of ischemic stroke and this pathology may be associated with the disruption of vascular homeostasis due to the formation of these chemicals. The main objective of this study was to investigate the coding region (A4889G) and non-coding region (T6235C) polymorphisms of the CYP1A1 gene as a risk factor for ischemic stroke. The study group in Turkish population consisted of 226 unrelated ischemic stroke patients and 113 control subjects. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups with respect to age and gender. Total blood samples were obtained from Gülhane Military Medical Academy Hospital, Neurology Department, Ankara. In stroke patients, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking and obesity were at least 2 times more common and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly lower than controls. The frequency of mutant allele 4889G was 0.445 in patients and was nearly the same with controls. The frequency of mutant allele 6235C was 0.151 in patients and was significantly higher in controls (0.226, P=0.015). The risk of diabetic, smoker and obese individuals having ischemic stroke was significantly higher in 4889G allele carriers (AG+GG; Odds ratio; OR= 2.1, 2.4 and 3, respectively). The risk of hypertensive and diabetic individuals having ischemic stroke was higher in 6235TT genotypic people (OR= 3 and 2.2, respectively). On the contrary, the risk of smoker and obese individuals having ischemic stroke was significantly higher in 6235 C allele carriers (OR=5.3 and 3.7, respectively). Logistic regression analysis revealed that hypertension, smoking, levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and HDL-C and 6235C allele were significant predictors of stroke. In this analysis, high level of LDL-C was found to be associated with almost 1.5-fold risk of ischemic stroke. On the other hand, HDL-C and having mutant 6235C allele decreased the risk of ischemic stroke 2.5 and 2-fold, respectively. This is the first study investigating the relation between A4889G polymorphism and stroke risk. Additionally, in Turkish population A4889G and T6235C polymorphisms were analyzed for the first time in terms of its relation to ischemic stroke. The present study demonstrated that the frequency of mutant 4889G allele was nearly the same in stroke patients and control subjects; whereas the frequency of mutant 6235 C allele was higher in control subjects than in stroke patients. Consequently, we decided that carrying mutant 4889 G allele does not constitute a risk for ischemic stroke and carrying mutant 6235C allele may have a protective effect against stroke.

Apolipoprotein a5 genetic polymorphisms in turkish population and the risk of ischemic stroke
Şahin, Esra; Adalı, Orhan; Department of Biotechnology (2008)
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the most common cause of disabilities worldwide. Apolipoprotein A5 gene (APO A5), which encodes a 369 amino acid protein called Apolipoprotein AV (apo AV), has several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found to be associated with altered triglyceride (TG) levels. Atherosclerosis is a major cause of ischemic stroke and this pathology may be associated with variability of TG levels. The main objective of this study was to investigate the coding region (c.553...
Investigation of the association between genetic and activity polymorphisms of paraoxonase 1 and ischemic stroke risk
Demirdöğen Can, Birsen; Adalı, Orhan; Department of Biochemistry (2007)
Stroke is the third leading cause of death. Atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries is a risk factor for ischemic stroke. Oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL) plays a central role in the progression of atherosclerosis. Human paraoxonase 1 (PON1), a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) associated serum esterase/lactonase, protects HDL and LDL from oxidative modifications. Thus, PON1 is protective against the development of atherosclerosis. PON1 gene has two functional coding region (192Q/R and 55L/M) and one pro...
Intracerebral Delivery of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Using HyStem (R)-C Hydrogel Implants Improves Functional Recovery and Reduces Neuroinflammation in a Rat Model of Ischemic Stroke
Ravina, Kristine; Briggs, Denise I.; Kışlal, Sezen; Warraich, Zuha; Nguyen, Tiffany; Lam, Rachel K.; Zarembinski, Thomas I.; Shamloo, Mehrdad (2018-12-01)
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Potential therapeutics aimed at neural repair and functional recovery are limited in their blood-brain barrier permeability and may exert systemic or off-target effects. We examined the effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), delivered via an extended release HyStem (R)-C hydrogel implant or vehicle, on sensorimotor function, infarct volume, and neuroinflammation, following permanent distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (d...
Investigation of on skin surface response due to acoustic radiation from stenosed blood vessels
Salman, Huseyin E.; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit (2015-11-02)
Arterial stenosis is a form of cardiovascular disease which leads to highest rate of fatalities worldwide. When stenosis is present in coronary arteries, it leads to heart attack and often sudden death. Arterial disease is usually not confined to critical organs such as the heart and the brain but observed throughout the peripheral cardiovascular system. When an artery has a diameter reduction, acoustic radiation originating from this constriction propagates through soft tissues and reaches to skin surface....
DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTROSPUN FIBER COATED THIN FILM MICROEXTRACTION DEVICES FOR RAPID MASS SPECTROMETRIC DETERMINATION OF POLAR CANCER BIOMARKERS
Öztürk, Merve; Boyacı, Ezel; Department of Chemistry (2023-1-25)
One of the leading reasons of deaths around the world is cancer, and most deaths are associated with late diagnosis. In this regard, the development of rapid and reliable analytical methods that can be used in routine control and early diagnosis of the cancer is of great importance. Solid phase microextraction (SPME) is a sampling and sample preparation technique which offers a platform for development of tools suitable for clinical applications. Its thin film geometry when is made in sword like shape, so-c...
