Quercetin has been one of the most studied flavonoids for years because of its widespread effects on various health problems and is known to be a potent anti-carcinogenic compound. One possible mechanism that flavonoids may prevent or treat cancer is by regulation of phase I and phase II enzyme activity. Phase I enzymes are xenobiotic metabolizing cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes whose functions are activating or inactivating xenobiotic compounds. CYP1A1 and CYP2E1 enzymes are actively found on cancer cells and modify carcinogenic compounds. Phase II enzymes are responsible from conjugation reactions in the body. GSTP1 and NQO1 enzymes are important representatives of phase II enzymes and their function is elimination of possibly carcinogenic metabolites by reduction and conjugation reactions. This study focused on the effects of quercetin on CYP1A1, CYP2E1, GSTP1 and NQO1 enzymes in human colon carcinoma cell line SW620. In order to study these effects, cells were grown as in 5% CO2 incubator prior to the treatment with quercetin with respect to IC50 value that is determined as 90 µM, and then the effects of quercetin on protein and mRNA expressions are analyzed according to the control groups by Western Blotting and q-RT-PCR, respectively. Quercetin treatment caused 47 % decrease in CYP1A1 protein expression (p<0.01) and 17 % decrease in CYP2E1 protein expression (p<0.01). Furthermore, quercetin treatment caused 85 % decrease in CYP1A1 mRNA expression and 97 % decrease in CYP2E1 mRNA expression with respect to control cells and results are normalized with GAPDH as an internal reference. Moreover, quercetin treatment also caused 35 % decrease in GSTP1 protein expression (p<0.001) and 29 % decrease in NQO1 protein expression (p<0.001). In addition, quercetin treatment caused 75 % decrease in GSTP1 mRNA expression (p<0.05), whereas NQO1 mRNA expression is increased 1.6 fold (p<0.01) after quercetin treatment. In conclusion, the results of this study showed that plant phenolic quercetin can modulate the progression of colon carcinoma by affecting the expression of protein and mRNA of xenobiotic metabolizing phase I and phase II enzymes CYP1A1, CYP2E1, GSTP1 and NQO1.

Effect of dietary selenium and vitamin E on the biomechanical properties of rabbit bones Turan, B; Balcik, C; Akkas, N (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1997-09-01) It is generally agreed that combined deficiency of selenium and vitamin E leads to several abnormalities including Kashin-Beck disease which is an endemic and chronic degenerative osteoarthrosis. The abnormalities can be reversed by the administration of various forms of selenium and vitamin E.
Effect of emodin on doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis on MCF-7 and MCF-10a cells Kaya, Bade; Güray, Tülin; Uyar, Pembegül; Department of Biology (2014) Emodin (3-Methyl-1,6,8-trihydroxyanthraquinone), is a phytoestrogenic component of Rheum and Polygonum plant extracts which has been used to treat several diseases since ancient times. It has been shown to have anti-microbial, anti-oxidant and anti-cancer effects in nature. The anti-tumor drug doxorubicin, a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, is used for the treatment of many cancer types including lung, gastric, ovarian and breast cancer. In this study, the effects of pre-, co- and alone treatment of doxo...
Effects of Water Soluble Garlic Extract on Human Leukemia HL60 Cell Lines İŞGÖR, YASEMİN GÜLGÜN; İşcan, Mesude; ÖZTÜRK, HASAN SERDAR; DURAK, İLKER (2008-01-01) Purpose: Studies with garlic have shown the medicinal value of the plant by its antioxidant potential which is exerted by its organosulfur rich content. In this study, the aim is to determine any potential antioxidant efficacy of the less toxic water soluble extract of a widely cultivated garlic form in Turkey, in terms of alterations on the oxidant/antioxidant status of HL60 promyelocytic leukemia cell line.
Effects of risperidone treatment on the expression of hypothalamic neuropeptide in appetite regulation in Wistar rats Kursungoz, Canan; AK, MEHMET; Yanık, Tülin (2015-01-30) Although the use of atypical antipsychotic drugs has been successful in the treatment of schizophrenia, they can cause some complications in the long-term use, including weight gain. Patients using these drugs tend to disrupt treatment primarily due to side effects. The atypical antipsychotic mechanism of action regulates a number of highly disrupted neurotransmitter pathways in the brains of psychotic patients but may also cause impairment of neurohorrnonal pathways in different brain areas. In this study,...
Effects of lipoic acid supplementation on rat brain tissue: An FTIR spectroscopic and neural network study Akkaş, Sara Banu; Yilmaz, O.; Severcan, Feride (2007-01-01) The unfortunate increase in exposure to free radicals justifies antioxidant supplementation. Therefore, in the current study, the effect of exogenously administered lipoic acid, a natural amphipathic antioxidant, on rat brain tissue was investigated via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in order to understand its interactions with biological molecules. The results suggest that lipoic acid slightly disorders the acyl chains of phospholipids as observed from the frequency of the CH, stretching vibration...
