Background: Synchronous multifocal tumours are commonly observed in urothelial carcinomas of the bladder. The origin of these physically independent tumours has been proposed to occur by either intraluminal migration (clonal) or spontaneous transformation of multiple cells by carcinogens (field effect). It is unclear which model is correct, with several studies supporting both hypotheses. A potential cause of this uncertainty may be the small number of genetic mutations previously used to quantify the relationship between these tumours.

Investigation of the cellular mechanisims underlying the Carboxypeptidase E mutation Kaşıkçı, Feride; Yanık, Tülin; Department of Biology (2014) Carboxypeptidase E (CPE) is an enzyme expressed in both endocrine and neuroendocrine cells functioning as both an exopeptidase and a sorting receptor. Recently, it has been reported that CPE plays a role in preventing neuronal cell death in the CA3 hippocampus so as to maintain normal cognitive function in the adult brain. Studies on CPE-knockout mice showed total degeneration of neurons in the CA3 region of the hippocampus in adult mice 4 weeks of age and older. Additionally, increased CPE expression was i...
Investigating the malleability of RNA aptamers İlgü, Müslüm; Lamm, Monica H.; Nilsen-Hamilton, Marit (Elsevier BV, 2013-09-15) Aptamers are short, single-stranded nucleic acids with structures that frequently change upon ligand binding and are sensitive to the ionic environment. To achieve facile application of aptamers in controlling cellular activities, a better understanding is needed of aptamer ligand binding parameters, structures, intramolecular mobilities and how these structures adapt to different ionic environments with consequent effects on their ligand binding characteristics. Here we discuss the integration of biochemic...
An investigation of microRNAs mapping to breast cancer related genomic gain and loss regions Selcuklu, S. D.; Yakicier, M. C.; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif (Elsevier BV, 2009-02-01) Various regions of amplification or loss are observed in breast tumors as a manifestation of genomic instability. To date, numerous oncogenes or tumor suppressors on some of these regions have been characterized. An increasing body of evidence suggests that such regions also harbor microRNA genes with crucial regulatory roles in cellular processes and disease mechanisms, including cancer. Here, we investigated 35 microRNAs localized to common genomic gain and/or loss regions in breast cancers. To examine am...
Molecular investigation of ptz-induced epileptic activities in rat brain cell membranes and the effects of vigabatrin Görgülü Türker, Sevgi; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2009) The epilepsies are a heterogenous group of symptom complexes, whose common features is the recurrence of seizures. There is no certain therapy for epilepsy. In order to promote new advances for the prevention of epilepsy the molecular mechanism of epileptic activities should be clarified. In the present study the goal is to obtain information for molecular mechanism of epilepsy. To achieve this, molecular alterations from pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced epileptic activities on rat brain tissue and cell memb...
Evaluation of an aldo-keto reductase gene signature with prognostic significance in colon cancer via activation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition and the p70S6K pathway Canli, Secil Demirkol; Seza, Esin Gulce; Sheraj, Ilir; Gomceli, Ismail; Turhan, Nesrin; Carberry, Steven; Prehn, Jochen H. M.; GÜRE, ALİ OSMAY; Banerjee, Sreeparna (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-09-01) AKR1B1 and AKR1B10, members of the aldo-keto reductase family of enzymes that participate in the polyol pathway of aldehyde metabolism, are aberrantly expressed in colon cancer. We previously showed that high expression of AKR1B1 (AKR1B1(HIGH)) was associated with enhanced motility, inflammation and poor clinical outcome in colon cancer patients. Using publicly available datasets and ex vivo gene expression analysis (n = 51, Ankara cohort), we have validated our previous in silico finding that AKR1B1(HIGH) ...
