Enzymatic metabolism of the 20C polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) arachidonic acid (AA) occurs via the cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, and leads to the production of various bioactive lipids termed eicosanoids. These eicosanoids have a variety of functions, including stimulation of homeostatic responses in the cardiovascular system, induction and resolution of inflammation, and modulation of immune responses against diseases associated with chronic inflammation, such as cancer. Because chronic inflammation is essential for the development of colorectal cancer (CRC), it is not surprising that many eicosanoids are implicated in CRC. Oftentimes, these autacoids work in an antagonistic and highly temporal manner in inflammation; therefore, inhibition of the pro-inflammatory COX-2 or 5-LOX enzymes may subsequently inhibit the formation of their essential products, or shunt substrates from one pathway to another, leading to undesirable side-effects. A better understanding of these different enzymes and their products is essential not only for understanding the importance of eicosanoids, but also for designing more effective drugs that solely target the inflammatory molecules found in both chronic inflammation and cancer. In this review, we have evaluated the cancer promoting and anti-cancer roles of different eicosanoids in CRC, and highlighted the most recent literature which describes how those molecules affect not only tumor tissue, but also the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, we have attempted to delineate the roles that eicosanoids with opposing functions play in neoplastic transformation in CRC through their effects on proliferation, apoptosis, motility, metastasis, and angiogenesis.

Evaluation of functional changes in akr overexpressing colorectal cell line sw480 Ermiş, Çağdaş; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Erel Göktepe, İrem; Department of Biochemistry (2021-2-02) The Aldo-Keto Reductases (AKR) are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(P)H) dependent oxidoreductases that function in phase 1 metabolismbyreducingaldehydes and ketones into primary and secondary alcohols. Inthis protein superfamily, the expression of AKR1B1 and AKR1B10 enzymes have been linked by us and others to colorectal cancer (CRC). Over-activation of these enzymes in the presence of excess glucose can result in the activation of the polyol pathway, which causes oxidative stress and migh...
Metabolic network analysis for human therapeutic protein productions: Effects of the P/O ratio Çalık, Pınar (2000-10-08) The metabolic fluxes through the central carbon pathways in the bioprocesses for human leukocyte interferon (IFN-alpha(1)) and erythropoietin (EPO) overproductions by recombinant Bacillus sp, carrying the related human genes were determined separately, on two alternative carbon sources, i.e. glucose and citrate, which have different reduction degrees. In addition, the influence of the P/O ratio on the cell growth, IFN-alpha(1) and EPO productions were investigated. Thus, the potential influence of increased...
Evaluation of functional changes in akr1b1 and akr1b10 overexpressing colorectal cancer cell lines Güderer, İsmail; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2021-2-15) Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent enzymes with diverse cellular metabolism functions. AKR1B1 and AKR1B10 are two of the most studied enzymes in the AKR family. AKR1B1 reduces excess glucose into sorbitol using reducing electrons from NADPH, and the hyperactivation of the AKR1B1 pathways is associated with oxidative stress and cell death. AKR1B10 is a poor reductant of glucose but is a vital enzyme that can metabolize retinol and many other drugs an...
Anaerobic acidification of sugar-beet processing wastes: Effect of operational parameters Alkaya, Emrah; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01) The objective of this study was to maximize the hydrolysis and acidification of sugar-beet processing wastewater and beet pulp for volatile fatty acid (VFA) production through acidogenic anaerobic metabolism. Experiments were conducted to determine the optimum operational conditions (HRT, waste-mixing ratio and pH) for effective acidification in daily-fed, continuously mixed anaerobic reactors. For this purpose, reactors were operated at 35 +/- 1 degrees C with different combinations of HRT (2-4 days), wast...
Missense Genetic Polymorphisms of Microsomal (EPHX1) and Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase (EPHX2) and Their Relation to the Risk of Large Artery Atherosclerotic Ischemic Stroke in a Turkish Population Demirdogen, Birsen Can; Micoogullari, Yagmur; Ozcelik, Aysun Turkanoglu; Adalı, Orhan (2020-01-01) Purpose: Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) and microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) both catalyze the metabolism of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), lipid signaling molecules that are protective against ischemic brain injury owing to their participation in the regulation of vascular tone and cerebral blood flow. In addition, mEH metabolizes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, one of the causative factors of atherosclerotic lesion development. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of enzyme activ...
