Differentiation, self-renewal and quiescence of Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is tightly regulated and the majority of the immature adult stem cells is quiescent. This protects the HSCs from the strain of constant cell division and depletion of the stem cell pool. The neurotransmitter Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is released from sympathetic nerves in the central or peripheral nervous system. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is secreted in the bone marrow niche by MSCs and has been shown to indirectly affect HSC function. However, the direct effects of NPY on HSCs has never been assessed. In the framework of this thesis, we aimed to explore the effect of NPY on the regulation of HSCs by performing a detailed analysis of the effects of NPY on HSC cell cycling and gene expression. The NPY receptors Y1-Y5 were highly expressed on most HSCs and mature hematopoietic cell subsets. In culture, expression of Y1, Y2, Y4 and Y5 was shown to decrease in time, whereas a signficant increase in the expression of NPY-Y3 was observed. Doses of 300 nM NPY suppressed HSC proliferation in cell cultures, as confirmed by an increase of HSCs in G0 phase and an increase in the gene expression levels of FOXO3, DICER1, PCNA, SMARCA2 and PDK1, which all have been shown to play an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and quiescence. These data provide an indication that NPY plays a direct effect on the regulation of HSC fate, by modulating cell proliferation and quiescence.

Evaluating Oxygen Tensions Related to Bone Marrow and Matrix for MSC Differentiation in 2D and 3D Biomimetic Lamellar Scaffolds Sayin, Esen; Baran, Erkan Turker; Elsheikh, Ahmed; Mudera, Vivek; Cheema, Umber; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2021-04-01) The physiological O-2 microenvironment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts and the dimensionality of a substrate are known to be important in regulating cell phenotype and function. By providing the physiologically normoxic environments of bone marrow (5%) and matrix (12%), we assessed their potential to maintain stemness, induce osteogenic differentiation, and enhance the material properties in the micropatterned collagen/silk fibroin scaffolds that were produced in 2D or 3D. Expression of ost...
Characterization and identification of human mesenchymal stem cells at molecular level Aksoy, Ceren; Severcan, Feride; Çetinkaya, Duygu Uçkan; Department of Biotechnology (2012) Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are pluripotent cells that can differentiate into a variety of non-hematopoietic tissues. They also maintain healthy heamatopoiesis by providing supportive cellular microenvironment into BM. In this thesis, MSCs were characterized in terms of their morphological, immunophenotypical and differentiation properties. Then, they were examined by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy together with hierarchical clustering, and FT...
The Effect of SETD3 on Beta-Catenin and Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway Activity in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells Alganatay, Ceren; Terzi Çizmecioğlu, Nihal; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2023-1-16) Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) are self-renewing, pluripotent cells that can differentiate into endoderm, mesoderm and neuroectoderm. As differentiation requires deactivation of pluripotency factors and activation of germ layer specific genes, many epigenetic factors play an essential role. A previously performed shRNA screen showed that SETD3 which is a SET-domain containing epigenetic factor, is an essential factor for mesendoderm differentiation of mESCs. Our preliminary data demonstrated that when m...
Neuropeptide Y is involved in the regulation of quiescence of hematopoietic stem cells Ulum, Baris; Mammadova, Aynura; ÖZYÜNCÜ, ÖZGÜR; Uckan-Cetinkaya, Duygu; Yanık, Tülin; Aerts-Kaya, Fatima (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01) Differentiation, self-renewal and quiescence of Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is tightly regulated in order to protect the HSCs from the strain of constant cell division and depletion of the stem cell pool. The neurotransmitter Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is released from sympathetic nerves in the bone marrow and has been shown to indirectly affect HSC function through effects on bone marrow (BM) multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs), osteoblasts (OBs) and macrophages. Although the absence of NPY has been...
Role of Vibrational Spectroscopy in Stem Cell Research Aksoy, Ceren; Severcan, Feride (2012-01-01) Recent researches have mainly displayed the significant role of stem cells in tissue renewal and homeostasis with their unique capacity to develop different cell types. These findings have clarified the importance of stem cells to improve the effectiveness of any cell therapy for regenerative medicine. Identification of purity and differentiation stages of stem cells are the greatest challenges of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. The existing methods to carefully monitor and characterize the ste...
