15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) is one of the lipoxygenases (LOX) that are important for the generation of inflammatory bioactive lipids, which then result in the initiation and resolution of inflammation. The enzyme mainly metabolizes the omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid, to 13-(S)-HODE. In colorectal carcinoma, the tumor suppressive role of 15-LOX-1 is highlighted with decreased proliferation, induction of apoptosis, reduced motility and invasion. Oppositely, the expression of 15-LOX-1 was reported to have pro-carcinogenic role in prostate cancer. The effect of 15-LOX-1 expression on angiogenesis in cancer, however, has not been addressed adequately. Therefore, we investigated the expression and secretion of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A), which acts as a potent vascular permeability factor in the angiogenesis process, in response to 15-LOX-1 expression. We used the colon cancer cell line HCT-116 and prostate cancer cell lines PC-3 and LNCaP as our models. We observed a decreased expression of VEGF-A through decreased transcriptional activity of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1α (HIF-1α) along with decreased secretion in 15-LOX-1 expressing HCT-116 cells. Contrary to our expectations, we observed a similar reduction in the expression and secretion of VEGF-A in LNCaP cells but no change in PC-3 cells when these cells were transfected with a 15-LOX-1 vector. To find out 15-LOX-1 mediated signaling mechanisms in angiogenesis, a proteome profiler array was conducted with proteins isolated from Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) incubated with conditioned media collected from 15-LOX-1 overexpressing LNCaP cells and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases (TIMP-1) was enriched. Enhanced expression of this anti-angiogenic protein may contribute towards the anti-angiogenic role of 15-LOX-1 in our prostate cancer model. Collectively, this study indicates the anti-tumorigenic and anti-angiogenic roles of 15-LOX-1 both in colorectal and prostate cancer.

The effect of cysteine-43 mutation on thermostability and kinetic properties of citrate synthase from Thermoplasma acidophilum
Kocabıyık, Semra; Russel, RJM; Danson, MJ; Hough, DW (Elsevier BV, 1996-07-05)
In this study, we have substituted serine-43 by cysteine in the recombinant citrate synthase from a moderately thermophilic Archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum, for site-specific attachment of labels and have investigated the effects of this mutation on the biochemical properties and thermal stability of the enzyme. Both wild-type and the mutant enzymes were purified to homogenity using affinity chromatography on Matrex Gel Red A. The mutant Thermoplasma citrate synthase is very similar to wild-type citrate s...
Effects of the quercetin derivative CHNQ, a potent aldo- keto reductase inhibitor, on akr1b1 silenced HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells
Taşkoparan, Betül; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2016)
Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are NAD(P)H dependent oxidoreductases that are known to be involved in the biosynthesis, metabolism and detoxification of a number of substrates including glucose. These enzymes are therefore implicated in the development of diabetic complications. Additionally, this family of enzymes, particularly AKR1B1, has been shown to be involved in pathology of inflammation- associated diseases such as atherosclerosis, asthma, uveitis, sepsis, arthritis, periodontitis and cancer, including...
Investigation of the therapeutic effect of sodium butyrate in Caco-2 colon cancer cell line by using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy
Çelik, Buket; Bek, Alpan; Özek, Nihal Şimşek; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2018)
Sodium butyrate (NaBt), as one of the HDACi, has been demonstrated that it induces apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, the inhibition of angiogenesis, metastasis and gene expression changes. To date, there are several studies perfomed to investigate its therapeutic effect; however, theexact mechanism at molecular level is not clear yet. Therefore, the current thesis was aimed to clarify the action/theurapeutic potential mechanisms of sodium butyrate in Caco2 colon cancer cell line at molecular level using ATR-FTI...
Cloning, characterization and heterologous expression of the aspartokinase and aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase genes of cephamycin C-producer Streptomyces clavuligerus
Tunca, S; Yilmaz, EI; Piret, J; Liras, P; Özcengiz, Gülay (Elsevier BV, 2004-09-01)
Carbon flow through the lysine branch of the aspartate biosynthetic pathway is a rate-limiting step in the formation of cephamycin C, a broad spectrum P-lactam antibiotic produced by Streptomyces clavuligerus. In this study, genes which encode the enzymes catalyzing the first two steps of the aspartate pathway, ask (aspartokinase) and asd (aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase), in S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585 were cloned and sequenced. Nucleotide sequencing and codon preference analysis revealed three complete...
Emerging cellular functions of the lipid metabolizing enzyme 15-Lipoxygenase-1
Colakoglu, Melis; Tuncer, Sinem; Banerjee, Sreeparna (Wiley, 2018-10-01)
The oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as arachidonic and linoleic acid through lipoxygenases (LOXs) and cyclooxygenases (COXs) leads to the production of bioactive lipids that are important both in the induction of acute inflammation and its resolution. Amongst the several isoforms of LOX that are expressed in mammals, 15-LOX-1 was shown to be important both in the context of inflammation, being expressed in cells of the immune system, and in epithelial cells where the enzyme has been shown to...
