Background In diabetes mellitus, increased formation of reactive oxygen species due to high level of glucose in both blood plasma and tissues creates oxidative stress and damages the tissues. Antioxidants together with the antioxidant enzymes are very important in order to protect the cells against oxidative damage.

Enhanced immunostimulatory activity of cyclic dinucleotides on mouse cells when complexed with a cell-penetrating peptide or combined with CpG
Yildiz, Soner; Alpdundar, Esin; Gungor, Bilgi; Kahraman, Tamer; Bayyurt, Banu; GÜRSEL, İHSAN; Gürsel, Mayda (2015-04-01)
Recognition of pathogen-derived nucleic acids by immune cells is critical for the activation of protective innate immune responses. Bacterial cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are small nucleic acids that are directly recognized by the cytosolic DNA sensor STING (stimulator of IFN genes), initiating a response characterized by proinflammatory cytokine and type I IFN production. Strategies to improve the immune stimulatory activities of CDNs can further their potential for clinical development. Here, we demonstrat...
Regulation of Glutathione S-Transferase Mu with type 1 diabetes and its regulation with antioxidants
SADİ, GÖKHAN; Kartal, Deniz Irtem; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün (2013-01-01)
Objective: Increased oxidative stress is now related with the pathogenesis and the chronic complications associated with the disease, diabetes mellitus. While roles of oxidative stress in diabetic complications are widely studied, the molecular mechanisms playing role in the regulations of detoxification enzymes in the presence of antioxidants have not been clearly established because of the complexity of the pathways.
Activation of survival pathways in nutrient restricted colorectal cancer cells
Oral, Göksu; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2023-1-9)
Limited nutrient availability in the tumor microenvironment can cause metabolic rewiring of cancer cells, resulting in the activation of various stress response pathways such as autophagy for survival. Our study showed for the first time that incubation of LoVo cells with a nutrient restriction medium containing low glucose, glutamine, and serum for 48 h resulted in the concurrent activation of two antagonistic proteins: the AMP Kinase pathway (AMPK) which is phosphorylated in response to low energy and act...
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

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) ...
Differential alteration of IL-8 in liver cancer stem cell enrichment in response to PI3K/Akt/mTOR inhibitors and sorafenib
Kahraman, Deniz Cansen; Kahraman, Tamer; Atalay, Rengül (2018-07-01)
Liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs) are derived from damaged and transformed hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) during precancerous cirrhosis stage. Ras/Raf/MAPK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways are significantly deregulated in liver cancer. The activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in LCSC population is one of the reasons for acquired resistance to sorafenib in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Therefore, identifying novel inhibitors targeting this pathway acting on LCSCs is highly essential. We...
