Mounting evidence suggests involvement of deregulated microRNA (miRNA) expression during the complex events of tumorigenesis. Among such deregulated miRNAs in cancer, miR-125b expression is reported to be consistently low in breast cancers. In this study, we screened a panel of breast cancer cell lines (BCCLs) for miR-125b expression and detected decreased expression in 14 of 19 BCCLs. Due to the heterogeneity of breast cancers, MCF7 cells were chosen as a model system for ERBB2 independent breast cancers to restore miR-125b expression (MCF7-125b) to investigate the phenotypical and related functional changes. Earlier, miR-125b was shown to regulate cell motility by targeting ERBB2 in ERBB2 overexpressing breast cancer cells. Here we showed decreased motility and migration in miR-125b expressing MCF7 cells, independent of ERBB2. MCF7-125b cells demonstrated profoundly decreased cytoplasmic protrusions detected by phalloidin staining of filamentous actin along with decreased motility and migration behaviors detected by in vitro wound closure and transwell migration assays compared to empty vector transfected cells (MCF7-EV). Among possible numerous targets of miR-125b, we showed ARID3B (AT-rich interactive domain 3B) to be a novel target with roles in cell motility in breast cancer cells. When ARID3B was transiently silenced, the decreased cell migration was also observed. In light of these findings, miR-125b continues to emerge as an interesting regulator of cancer related phenotypes.

RXTE timing analysis of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 2259+586
Icdem, B.; Baykal, Altan; İNAM, SITKI ÇAĞDAŞ (2012-02-01)
We present a pulse-timing analysis of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 2259+586 from its 2002 outburst to 2010 October. We have the following objectives: to extend the work on the recovery stage after the 2002 glitch; to investigate the variations caused by the second glitch that occurred in 2007; to look for other unusual events, if any, that arise in the regular spin-down trend of the source. We find that the fractional change in the spin frequency derivativ...
Cyclotrimerization of benzobarrelene: Synthesis of new isomeric barrelene architectures
Dastan, A; Fabris, F; De Lucchi, O; Guney, M; Balcı, Metin (Wiley, 2003-01-01)
The cyclotrimerization reaction of benzobarrelene derivatives was investigated. Dibromobenzobarrelene 10 was converted to the bromostannyl derivative 11, which was used as the substrate of the cyclotrimerization reaction. Thus. reaction of 11, with copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate (CuTC) gave a mixture of the isomeric cyclotrimers 5 and 6 and the dimers 12 and 13, in addition to a trace of protodestannylated bromoalkene 14 (Scheme 2).
Matrix-fracture transfer in non-isothermal conditions
Tavakkoli Osgouei , Yashar; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2020)
A numerical and experimental study was carried out to investigate matrix-fracture transfer in fractured porous media. Film type heat flux sensors were installed in four different synthetically fractured core plugs to measure the temperature and heat flux in fracture during cold water injection. Experimental values of heat flux were used to calculate convective heat transfer coefficient. Fracture temperatures were used to calibrate numerical model developed using CMG-STARS simulator to evaluate contributing ...
Unitary symmetry pattern of the QCD sum rules
Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Özpineci, Altuğ (IOP Publishing, 2012-3-1)
Relations between magnetic moments of Σ0 and Λ baryons are discussed. Physical meaning of the F- and D- couplings in SU(3) is established. The obtained results are generalized to the QCD sum rules which yield unitary pattern with the characteristic F and D structures.
Pulse phase resolved x-ray spectroscopy of four accretion powered millisecond pulsars
Çolak, Sıdıka Merve; Baykal, Altan; Department of Physics (2014)
In this thesis, pulse phase resolved X-ray spectroscopy of four accretion powered millisecond pulsars which are IGR J00291+5934 , IGR J17498-2921 , XTE J0929-314 and XTE J1807-294 will be presented. Phase dependent changes during their outbursts will be checked for possible correlations of spectral parameters such as photon index and blackbody temperature with rotation phase using archive of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations. In the analysis of IGR J17498-2921 in 2011 outburst , positive corre...
