Metastasis associated protein 1 (MTA1) is a member of the nuclear remodeling and histone deacetylase (NuRD) complex, which is known to repress the expression of several tumor suppressor genes and has been widely linked to tumor metastasis. 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) is a lipid metabolizing enzyme that has tumor suppressive properties and is silenced by the NuRD complex in colorectal cancer (CRC). We have previously shown that reexpression of 15-LOX-1 inhibited metastasis in CRC, inhibited the inflammatory transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and resulted in reduced expression of MTA1 indicating the presence of a cross talk. In this study, we have first investigated the role of MTA1 in CRC. For this, the gene was silenced and overexpressed in the CRC cell line HCT-116. MTA1 overexpression enhanced metastasis and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) like characteristics of the cells while silencing of MTA1 resulted in reversal of these features.Reexpression of 15-LOX-1 in CRC cell lines HT-29 and LoVo resulted in decreased expression of MTA1. This was due to a decrease in the nuclear levels and the recruitment of p65 to its binding motifs on the MTA1 promoter as well as inhibition of transcriptional activity of NF-κB. As a conclusion, this study not only shows the protumorigenic properties of MTA1 in CRC but also identifies a novel regulatory mechanism by 15-LOX-1 thereby providing a rationale for the development of anti-metastatic intervention strategies targeting MTA1 or 15-LOX-1 expressions.

Investigation of a mechanistic link between 15-Lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) and Metastasis Associated Protein 1 (MTA1) in human colorectal carcinoma cell lines ÇAĞATAY, SİBEL; Banerjee, Sreeparna (2013-09-01) Background: Metastasis Associated Protein 1 (MTA1) is a member of the nuclear remodeling and histone deacetylase (NuRD) complex that is known to repress the expression of several tumor suppressor genes. 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1), a member of the inflammatory eicosanoid pathway, has been shown by us and others to have an anti-tumorigenic role in colon cancer. ALOX15 was recently shown to be repressed by the NuRD complex. Previously we have reported that ectopic expression of 15-LOX-1 in colon cancer cells...
Enrichment of MCF7 breast cancer cells from leukocytes through continuous flow dielectrophoresis Çağlayan, Zeynep; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cancerous cells detached from a primary tumor site and enter the bloodstream, causing the development of new tumors in a secondary site. Therefore, their detection in blood is critical to assess the metastatic progression and to guide the line of the therapy. However, the rarity of CTCs in the bloodstream and the lack of suitable detection tool hinders their use as a biomarker in malignancies. Recent advances in microfluidic technologies enabled development of point-of-car...
Characterizing Mutational Signatures in Human Cancer Cell Lines Reveals Episodic APOBEC Mutagenesis Petljak, Mia; et. al. (2019-03-01) Multiple signatures of somatic mutations have been identified in cancer genomes. Exome sequences of 1,001 human cancer cell lines and 577 xenografts revealed most common mutational signatures, indicating past activity of the underlying processes, usually in appropriate cancer types. To investigate ongoing patterns of mutational-signature generation, cell lines were cultured for extended periods and subsequently DNA sequenced. Signatures of discontinued exposures, including tobacco smoke and ultraviolet ligh...
Label-free enrichment of MCF7 breast cancer cells from leukocytes using continuous flow dielectrophoresis Arslan, Zeynep Caglayan; Yalcin, Yagmur Demircan; Külah, Haluk (2022-04-01) Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) present in the bloodstream are strongly linked to the invasive behavior of cancer; therefore, their detection holds great significance for monitoring disease progression. Currently available CTC isolation tools are often based on tumor-specific antigen or cell size approaches. However, these techniques are limited due to the lack of a unique and universal marker for CTCs, and the overlapping size between CTCs and regular blood cells. Dielectrophoresis (DEP), governed by the in...
Synthesis of poly (dl-lactic-co-glycolic acid) coated magnetic nanoparticles for anti-cancer drug delivery Tansık, Gülistan; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2012) 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 extern...
