Colon cancer is one of the major health problems causing malignancies and is frequently encountered in developed western countries. Today, in the treatment of colon cancer, several methods are used, mostly with adverse effects. In order to reduce the consequences of side effects usage of natural or artificial anti-cancer molecules is a serious topic in the cancer research area. Scientists began to perform research to find anti-carcinogenic phytochemicals and xenobiotics with anti-carcinogenic potentials. Until now, at least five thousands phenolic compounds have been described and oleuropein is one of the substantial phenolic compounds whose effects were determined on formation of cancer cells. In the light of this information, this study was aimed to identify potential oleuropein effects on colon cancer cell proliferation, DNA damage formation and protein expressions of CYP1A1, GSTM1 and NQO1 enzymes at in vitro level. In order to achieve goals of this study, HT-29 colon cancer cells were grown and treated with increasing oleuropein doses, and IC50 value was determined as 600 µM. Effects of oleuropein on DNA damage formation and protein expressions were studied by Comet assay and Western Blotting, respectively. Oleuropein treatment caused decrease in protein expression levels of CYP1A1, GSTM1 and NQO1 enzymes. Oleuropein also caused increase in DNA damages of the colon cancer cells in a dose dependent manner. In conclusion, the results of this study showed that oleuropein inhibits the proliferation of colon carcinoma cells by affecting the DNA damage formation and protein expression of CYP1A1, GSTM1 and NQO1 enzymes.

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...
Effects of 15-lipoxygenase-1 on the angiogenic properties of colorectal cancer cell line SW480
Yener, Caner; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Erel Göktepe, İrem; Department of Biochemistry (2016)
Colorectal cancer is a disease resulting from the malignant transformation of colon epithelia. As of 2013, it the third leading cause of death among cancer related deaths, in Turkey. Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are a family of fatty acid dioxygenases that convert polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to their oxidized form, which are subsequently transformed to bioactive lipid mediators acting in various cell functions. Specifically, 15-Lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) is a member of the LOX family, oxygenating linoleic ac...
Characterization of liposomal celecoxib formulation as a drug delivery system in colorectal cancer cell lines
Erdoğ, Aslı; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biotechnology (2012)
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 ...
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,...
Synthesis of novel indole-isoxazole hybrids and evaluation of their cytotoxic activities on hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines

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...
