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 amplification or loss of these microRNAs as a result of genomic instability, we performed semi quantitative duplex polymerase chain reaction in 20 breast cancer cell lines, 2 immortalized mammary cell lines, and 2 normal DNA controls. A comprehensive DNA fold number change data for 35 microRNA genes on chromosomal gain/loss regions are presented in breast cancer cells. A 23% (8/35) of the investigated microRNAs showed significant fold number increases (greater than four-fold) compared to GAPDH in one or more of the breast cell lines. Although no homozygous deletions were detected, fold number decreases indicating potential loss regions were observed for 26% (9/35) of the investigated microRNAs. Such fold number changes may point out some of these microRNAs as potential targets of the genomic instability regions as oncogene and tumor suppressor candidates. (c) 2009 Elsevier Inc.

Structural analysis of a 50 kb region on 17q23
Akman, Begüm H; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Department of Biology (2007)
17q23 amplicon is one of the many chromosomal regions that undergo amplification in breast tumors. Such amplicons harbor proto-oncogenes that may be overexpressed due to gene amplifications. Copy number analysis in breast cancer cell lines and breast tumors identified several independently amplified regions within the 17q23 amplicon, suggesting that a number of genes are selected for amplification as they may independently contribute to tumor formation and progression. To characterize distinct amplicons on ...
Overexpressed genes/ESTs and characterization of distinct amplicons on 17q23 in breast cancer cells
Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; DEMERS, SK; ROUILLARD, JM; HANASH, SM; PETTY, EM (Elsevier BV, 2001-11-01)
17q23 is a frequent site of gene amplification in breast cancer. Several lines of evidence suggest the presence of multiple amplicons on 17q23. To characterize distinct amplicons on 17q23 and localize putative oncogenes, we screened genes and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in existing physical and radiation hybrid maps for amplification and overexpression in breast cancer cell lines by semiquantitative duplex PCR, semiquantitative duplex RT-PCR, Southern blot, and Northern blot analyses. We identified two d...
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...
Epigenetic Mechanisms Underlying the Dynamic Expression of Cancer-Testis Genes, PAGE2, -2B and SPANX-B, during Mesenchymal-to-Epithelial Transition
Yilmaz-Ozcan, Sinem; Sade, Asli; Kucukkaraduman, Baris; Kaygusuz, Yasemin; Senses, Kerem Mert; Banerjee, Sreeparna; GÜRE, ALİ OSMAY (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2014-09-17)
Cancer-testis (CT) genes are expressed in various cancers but not in normal tissues other than in cells of the germline. Although DNA demethylation of promoter-proximal CpGs of CT genes is linked to their expression in cancer, the mechanisms leading to demethylation are unknown. To elucidate such mechanisms we chose to study the Caco-2 colorectal cancer cell line during the course of its spontaneous differentiation in vitro, as we found CT genes, in particular PAGE2, -2B and SPANX-B, to be up-regulated duri...
Partial purification and characterization of arylamine N-acetyltransferases from human breast tumor tissues
Su, Yaşasın Senem; Güray, Tülin; Department of Biochemistry (2006)
Arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs) were partially purified from human breast tumor tissues with complete separation of the isoforms in DEAE-Cellulose ion-exchange step. NAT with activity towards p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) was isolated and purified from human breast tumor with 77 % yield and a purification factor of 5-fold. NAT with activity towards sulfamethazine (SMZ) was isolated and purified from human breast tumor with 21 % yield and a purification factor of 3-fold. Further purification attempts by B...
