Background: Genome-wide gene expression profiling analysis of FFPE tissue samples is indispensable for cancer research and provides the opportunity to evaluate links between molecular and clinical information, however, working with FFPE samples is challenging due to extensive cross-linking, fragmentation and limited quantities of nucleic acid. Thus, processing of FFPE tissue samples from RNA extraction to microarray analysis still needs optimization.

Iterative H-Minima-Based Marker-Controlled Watershed for Cell Nucleus Segmentation Koyuncu, Can Fahrettin; Akhan, Ece; Erşahin, Tülin; Atalay, Rengül; GÜNDÜZ DEMİR, Çiğdem (Wiley, 2016-04-01) Automated microscopy imaging systems facilitate high-throughput screening in molecular cellular biology research. The first step of these systems is cell nucleus segmentation, which has a great impact on the success of the overall system. The marker-controlled watershed is a technique commonly used by the previous studies for nucleus segmentation. These studies define their markers finding regional minima on the intensity/gradient and/or distance transform maps. They typically use the h-minima transform bef...
Object-Oriented Segmentation of Cell Nuclei in Fluorescence Microscopy Images Koyuncu, Can Fahrettin; Atalay, Rengül; GÜNDÜZ DEMİR, Çiğdem (Wiley, 2018-10-01) Cell nucleus segmentation remains an open and challenging problem especially to segment nuclei in cell clumps. Splitting a cell clump would be straightforward if the gradients of boundary pixels in-between the nuclei were always higher than the others. However, imperfections may exist: inhomogeneities of pixel intensities in a nucleus may cause to define spurious boundaries whereas insufficient pixel intensity differences at the border of overlapping nuclei may cause to miss some true boundary pixels. In co...
Emerging cellular functions of the lipid metabolizing enzyme 15-Lipoxygenase-1 Colakoglu, Melis; Tuncer, Sinem; Banerjee, Sreeparna (Wiley, 2018-10-01) The oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as arachidonic and linoleic acid through lipoxygenases (LOXs) and cyclooxygenases (COXs) leads to the production of bioactive lipids that are important both in the induction of acute inflammation and its resolution. Amongst the several isoforms of LOX that are expressed in mammals, 15-LOX-1 was shown to be important both in the context of inflammation, being expressed in cells of the immune system, and in epithelial cells where the enzyme has been shown to...
The expression of GST isoenzymes and p53 in non-small cell lung cancer. OguztĂźzun, Serpil; Aydin, Mehtap; Demirag, Funda; Yazici, UlkĂź; Ozhavzali, MĂźzeyyen; KiliĂ§, Murat; Can, Mesude IĹ (VM Media SP. zo.o VM Group SK, 2010-6-10) This study investigated the immunohistochemical staining characteristics of glutathione-S-transferase alpha, pi, mu, theta and p53 in non-small cell lung carcinoma and normal lung tissue from 50 patients. The relationships between expressions of the Glutathione-S-transferase isoenzymes and some clinicopathological features were also examined. Expression of glutathione-S-transferase pi, mu, alpha, theta and p53 was assessed by immunohistochemistry for primary lung carcinomas of 50 patients from the Sanitariu...
The effect of cysteine-43 mutation on thermostability and kinetic properties of citrate synthase from Thermoplasma acidophilum Kocabıyık, Semra; Russel, RJM; Danson, MJ; Hough, DW (Elsevier BV, 1996-07-05) In this study, we have substituted serine-43 by cysteine in the recombinant citrate synthase from a moderately thermophilic Archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum, for site-specific attachment of labels and have investigated the effects of this mutation on the biochemical properties and thermal stability of the enzyme. Both wild-type and the mutant enzymes were purified to homogenity using affinity chromatography on Matrex Gel Red A. The mutant Thermoplasma citrate synthase is very similar to wild-type citrate s...
