Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is one of the most common cancers and is the leading cause of cancer deaths in much of the developed world. Owing to the high incidence of drug resistance and potential toxic effects of chemotherapy drugs, much research is currently underway to design better strategies for smart drug delivery systems. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pathway is associated with poor prognosis in colon carcinomas. The selective COX-2 inhibitor drug Celecoxib (CLX) has been shown to posses COX-2 independent anti-carcinogenic effects in addition to inhibition of prostaglandins synthesis. The aim of the presented thesis was to develop a liposomal delivery system for CLX and to evaluate functional effects in CRC cell lines. Starting with multilamellar vesicles capable of CLX encapsulation and retention, nano sized liposomes were prepared and characterized in vitro. The optimum composition was determined as 10:1 DSPC: Cholesterol molar ratio and Polyethylene glycol (PEG) grafting at 2% of phospholipids. The extent of cellular association of PEGylated liposome formulation was analyzed quantitatively and cellular localization was analyzed qualitatively. We detected that CLX loaded PEGylated liposomes inhibited proliferation and cellular motility of cancer cells in a 2D model system. Our results showed that, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) targeted CLX loaded immunoliposomes were extremely cytotoxic in cancer cells with high EGFR expression but not in cells devoid of EGFR expression. This delivery system may pioneer studies that may potentially circumvent the harmful systemic side effects of cancer preventive and chemotherapy drugs as well as allow the use of targeted combinatorial therapies.

Synthesis of novel indole-isoxazole hybrids and evaluation of their cytotoxic activities on hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines
Hawash, Mohammed; Kahraman, Deniz Cansen; Ergun, Sezen Guntekin; Cetin-Atalay, Rengul; BAYTAŞ, SULTAN (2021-12-01)
Background Liver cancer is predicted to be the sixth most diagnosed cancer globally and fourth leading cause of cancer deaths. In this study, a series of indole-3-isoxazole-5-carboxamide derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anticancer activities. The chemical structures of these of final compounds and intermediates were characterized by using IR, HRMS, H-1-NMR and C-13-NMR spectroscopy and element analysis. Results The cytotoxic activity was performed against Huh7, MCF7 and HCT116...
Nanopatterned tubular collagen scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering
Zorlutuna, Pınar; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biotechnology (2009)
One of the major causes of death in developed countries is cardiovascular disease that affects small and medium sized blood vessels. In most cases autologous grafts have to be used which have limited availability. A functional tissue engineered vessel can be the ultimate solution for vascular reconstruction. Tissue engineered constructs with cells growing in an organized manner have been shown to have improved mechanical properties. In the present study collagen scaffolds with 650 nm, 500 nm and 332.5 nm wi...
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...
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,...
Comparison of the Diagnostic Accuracy of Next Generation Sequencing and Microarray Resequencing Methods for Detection of BRCA1 and BRCA2 Gene Mutations

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...
