Certain aspects of diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer patients are still important challenges to be addressed. Therefore, we propose a pipeline to uncover patterns of alternative polyadenylation (APA), a hidden complexity in cancer transcriptomes, to further accelerate efforts to discover novel cancer genes and pathways. Here, we analyzed expression data for 1045 cancer patients and found a significant shift in usage of poly(A) signals in common tumor types (breast, colon, lung, prostate, gastric, and ovarian) compared to normal tissues. Using machine-learning techniques, we further defined specific subsets of APA events to efficiently classify cancer types. Furthermore, APA patterns were associated with altered protein levels in patients, revealed by antibody-based profiling data, suggesting functional significance. Overall, our study offers a computational approach for use of APA in novel gene discovery and classification in common tumor types, with important implications in basic research, biomarker discovery, and precision medicine approaches.

Alternative Polyadenylation patterns for novel gene discovery and classification in cancer Beğik, Oğuzhan; Öyken, Merve; Can, Tolga; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif (2017-06-03) Certain aspects of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer patients are still important challenges to be addressed. Therefore, we propose a pipeline to uncover patterns of alternative polyadenylation (APA), a hidden complexity in cancer transcriptomes, to further accelerate efforts to discover novel cancer genes and pathways. Here, we analyzed expression data for 1,045 cancer patients and found a significant shift in usage of poly(A) signals in cancers. Using machine-learning techniques, we further def...
Deregulated APA and cancer specific APA isoforms Begik, Oguzhan; Ercan, Melda; Cingoz, Harun; Can, Tolga; ÖYKEN, MERVE; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif (2018-07-01) Certain aspects of diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer patients are still important challenges to be addressed. We developed a pipeline to uncover patterns of alternative polyadenylation (APA), a hidden complexity in cancer transcriptomes, to further accelerate efforts to discover novel cancer genes and pathways. Here, we found a significant shift in usage of poly(A) signals in six common tumor types compared to normal tissues. We further defined specific subsets of APA events to efficiently class...
Novel ferrocenyl pyrazoles inhibit breast cancer cell viability via induction of apoptosis and inhibition of PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 signaling Atmaca, Harika; Ozkan, Ayse Nur; Zora, Metin (2017-02-01) Despite the advances in early detection and targeted therapies, chemotherapy is still of vital importance in breast cancer treatment. However, development of drug resistance and serious side effects limits their usage. Thus, there is an urgent need for safer and more effective agents against breast cancer. We have previously described the synthesis of a number of pyrazole derivatives, and in the current study, we have investigated the effects of two different ferrocenyl pyrazole (FP) derivates, 5-ferrocenyl...
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,...
Modeling and Characterization of Nanomedicine Transport within Tumor Microenvironment across Scales Akalın, Ali Aykut; Özçelikkale, Altuğ (2022-09-19) Despite significant advances in recent decades, diagnosis and treatment of cancer remain to be a major challenge. Advances in nanotechnology have enabled numerous nanoparticle (NP) formulations for efficient delivery of drugs and diagnostic agents to the target tumor site. The size, shape, charge, and surface characteristics of so-called nanomedicine can be tuned to affect the interactions of the NP with the physiological environment [1]. However, design efforts to develop nanomedicine for efficient deliver...
