Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a malignant neoplasm of bone marrow plasma B cells with high low survival rates. Clofazimine (CLF) is a FDA-approved leprostatic, anti-tuberculous and anti-inflammatory drug. CLF has shown to have growth suppression in various cancers such as hepatocellular, lung, cervix, melanoma, esophageal, colon, leukemia, neuroblastoma and breast. Objective of this study was to investigate anticancer effect and mechanism of Clofazimine on U266 Multiple Myeloma cell line. The relative cell viability of a panel of hematological cell lines (Jurkat, U266, Namalwa, K562, HL60) treated with CLF is screened. Dose and time response effect of CLF on U266 cell line is evaluated and anti-cancer effect of CLF combination treatment is examined using CellTiter Blue assay. For apoptosis JC-1, Caspase 3 and PE Annexin V-7 AAD assays are performed. CLF (10 μM, 24 h) showed growth suppression on all cell lines, highest on U266 (72%). It has an IC50 value of 9.87 ± 0.9 μM and has synergistic effect in combination with cisplatin. Cell cycle analysis indicates accumulation of cell population at S phase. CLF has apoptotic effect on U266 cells as, mitochondrial membrane depolarized cells 44, 67.8, 80.2 percent increased, caspase 3 positive cells 19.1, 41.3, 43,2 percent increased and early apoptotic cells 18.9, 39.3, 62,9 percent increased compared to control group at 12, 24 and 48 h respectively. Clofazimine has potent anticancer effect on U266 MM cell line. Clofazimine in vivo studies, alone and in combination with cisplatin, are warranted to evaluate its therapeutic potential for MM treatment.

Repurposing of antipsychotic agent trifluoperazine for multiple myeloma treatment: in vitro studies Ataş, Heval; Özen, Can; Erdoğ, Aslı; Department of Biotechnology (2016) Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy resulting from the proliferation of plasma B cells in the bone marrow. MM accounts for 20 % of deaths from blood cancers and 2 % of deaths from all cancers. Although there have been remarkable developments in the treatment of MM, it is still an incurable disease due to the drug resistance problem. Therefore, development of novel therapies is especially important for MM patients. Drug repurposing is one of the promising strategies to discover new anticancer...
Anticancer activity of chlorpromazine on U266 multiple myeloma cell line Güleç, Aliye Ezgi; Özen, Can; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Biochemistry (2017) Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy caused by malignant growth of plasma B cells. It accounts for 10% of deaths from blood cancers. Although introduction of new drugs has significantly increased the success of chemotherapy, MM remains as an incurable disease with a high relapse rate. Drug repositioning, finding new uses for approved drugs, is a frequently used strategy for the discovery of new chemotherapeutic agents. Since already approved drugs are used, the cost and t...
Anti-cancer effect of clofazimine as a single agent and in combination with cisplatin on U266 multiple myeloma cell line Durusu, Ipek Z.; Husnugil, Hazal H.; ATAŞ, Heval; BİBER, Aysenur; GEREKCİ, Selin; Gulec, Ezgi A.; Özen, Can (2017-04-01) Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a malignant neoplasm of bone marrow plasma B cells with high morbidity. Clofazimine (CLF) is an FDA-approved leprostatic, anti-tuberculosis, and anti-inflammatory drug that was previously shown to have growth suppression effect on various cancer types such as hepatocellular, lung, cervix, esophageal, colon, and breast cancer as well as melanoma, neuroblastoma, and leukemia. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anticancer effect and mechanism of CLF on U266 MM cell line. C...
Induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest on U266 multiple myeloma cell line by prochlorperazine Hüsnügil, Hepşen Hazal; Özen, Can; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biochemistry (2016) Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell neoplasm accounting for 1% of all malignancies and 13% of hematological malignancies. Despite the introduction of potent anticancer agents, MM remains as an incurable disease. High frequency of relapses and acquisition of resistance to current chemotherapy create a need for the development of novel agents for MM treatment. Prochlorperazine (PCP) is an FDA-approved phenothiazine drug, mainly used for the treatment of chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting. In addit...
Characterization and identification of human mesenchymal stem cells at molecular level Aksoy, Ceren; Severcan, Feride; Çetinkaya, Duygu Uçkan; Department of Biotechnology (2012) Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are pluripotent cells that can differentiate into a variety of non-hematopoietic tissues. They also maintain healthy heamatopoiesis by providing supportive cellular microenvironment into BM. In this thesis, MSCs were characterized in terms of their morphological, immunophenotypical and differentiation properties. Then, they were examined by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy together with hierarchical clustering, and FT...
