This study aimed to measure and compare the cytoplasmic ion concentrations of the parental cells and their drug resistant progenies. High-level laboratory and clinically-relevant multidrug resistance (MDR) cell line models were developed and investigated for K562 and CCRF-CEM cells, respectively. Measurements were achieved using a modified version of ion release-based impedance spectroscopy (IRbIS), where the average total ion concentration per cell was determined by measuring the variations in solution conductance after the lysis of a population with a known initial cell count. Results showed that the average of cytoplasmic ion concentration for K562/imaR cells was almost 1.8 times higher than that of K562/wt cells with a standard error of mean (SEM) lower than 7%, having a significant difference at p = 0.05 level. CCRF-CEM/doxR cells had almost a 1.2-fold increase in the ion concentration compared with CCRF-CEM/wt cells with an SEM smaller than 11%. Unlike K562 cells, this was not a significant variation at p = 0.05 level. Having insignificant SEMs proved the validity of this modified implementation of IRbIS measurements. We showed that our new approach enables to identify variations in cytoplasmic ion concentration per cell and to understand the mechanisms driving the toxicity and the development of drug resistance to chemotherapeutic agents.

Characterization of extracellular beta-lactamases from penicillin G-resistant cells of Streptococcus thermophilus
Chirica, LC; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Bozoglu, F (International Association for Food Protection, 1998-07-01)
In this study, biochemical properties of two extracellular beta-lactamases produced by penicillin-resistant Streptococcus thermophilus cells were investigated. Both beta-lactamases showed specificity for penicillins but not for cephaloridins. The p-lactamases exhibited different affinities for penicillin G. The one with the higher molecular weight (F1) had a K(m) value of 3.44 mu M and a V(max), value of 8.33, mu mol/min/mg of protein, whereas the beta-lactamase with the lower molecular weight (FII) had a K...

Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Gulbeyaz, V; Akgul, H (1996-01-01)
The synthesis of cyclopentanoid antibiotic Kjellmanianone is described in this study. The C-acylation of lithium enolates of 3-Methoxycyclopentenone by N-carbomethoxyimidazole or methylcyanoformate beta-ketoester, which when oxidized with Mn(III) acetate produces kjellmanianone in good yield.
ANALYSIS OF THE DIELECTROPHORETIC (DEP) SPECTRA OF BIOLOGICAL CELLS
Caglayani, Zeynep; Sel, Kaan; Yalcin, Yagmur Demircan; Sukas, Ozlem Sardan; Külah, Haluk (2017-06-22)
This study presents an approach for analyzing the dielectrophoretic (DEP) spectra of biological cells without ascertaining their membrane and cytoplasmic properties. DEP spectrum device with reciprocal V-shaped planar-electrodes was utilized to obtain DEP spectra information of cells. Integrating electric field simulations based on a strong theory with the experimental data enables determination of the DEP spectrum at a range of frequencies, for the first in the literature. The proposed method is tested wit...
Investigation of the role of programmed cell death 10 (PDCD10) protein in multidrug resistance
Urfalı Mamatoğlu, Çağrı; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2018)
Drug resistance, a major obstacle in chemotherapy, is the sum of several cellular alterations including resistance to induction of apoptosis. Apoptosis is a well-regulated cell death mechanism which is controlled by several signaling pathways and a vast number of proteins. Alterations in the proteins involved in the apoptotic regulation have been associated with drug resistance in cancer. Programmed Cell Death 10 (PDCD10) protein is a novel apoptotic regulator that is recently linked to the modulation of ce...
