N-Acetyltransferase activities were determined in tumor (12 malignant and 6 benign) and control (non-cancerous) breast tissues from 18 female patients. The activities of matched 12 malignant tumor and control tissue cytosols showed 6 rapid, 4 intermediate and 2 slow acetylators based on p-aminobenzoic acid (NAT1) and sulfamethazine (NAT2) as substrates, Compared to the activities of slow acetylators, the rapid acetylators exhibited mean apparent V-max values about 5- and 50-fold greater for p-aminobenzoic acid and sulfamethazine, respectively. No correlation was observed between the blood and breast tissue N-acetyltransferase (NAT1 and NAT2) activities. When the mean apparent N-acetyltransferase activities of the malignant and benign breast tumor tissues were compared, the results showed an increased activity for both p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and sulfamethazine (SMZ) acetylation in the malignant tissues compared to benign ones, and also control tissues showed lower activities compared to tumor tissues. Moreover, the mean NAT2 activity was about 2-fold greater in the malignant tissues when compared to NAT1 activity.

Implementation of a fast simulation tool for the analysis of contrast mechanisms in HMMDI and enhancement of the SNR in the experimental set-up İrgin, Ümit; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Top, Can Barış; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-06) Clinical method for breast tumor detection is Mammography (X-rays), which have limitations and may yield inaccurate results. Alternative novel techniques are required to characterize the breast tissues and extract accurate information for identification of malignancies in the tissue. Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging (HMMDI), which enhances hybridizing microwave signals and ultrasound techniques, has been recently proposed for detection of tumors in the tissue. In HMMDI method, the data is a combina...
GST isoenzymes in matched normal and neoplastic breast tissue OĞUZTÜZÜN, SERPİL; Abu-Hijleh, A.; ÇOBAN, TÜLAY; Bulbul, D.; KILIÇ, MURAT; İŞCAN, Mümtaz; İşcan, Mesude (AEPress, s.r.o., 2011-01-01) The potential to metabolize endogenous and exogenous substances may influence breast cancer development and tumor growth. Therefore we investigated GST activity and the protein expression of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) isoenzymes known to be involved in the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous carcinogens in breast cancer tissue to obtain new information on their possible role in tumor progression.
Comparison of GST Isoenzyme Expression in Normal and Neoplastic Breast Tissue: Correlation with Clinical and Prognostic Factors OĞUZTÜZÜN, SERPİL; İşcan, Mesude; ÖZHAVZALI, MÜZEYYEN; Sak, Serpil Dizbay (2009-01-01) Glutathione S-transferases in breast tissue play an important role in the susceptibility to the mutagenic effects of chemical carcinogens and in the response of breast tumors to chemotherapy. In this study the immunohistochemical staining characteristics of glutathione S-transferase isoenzymes (alpha, mu, pi, and theta) were investigated in invasive duct carcinomas and in normal breast tissue of 43 patients. The relationships between the expression of the GST isoenzymes and some clinicopathological features...
Comparison of NAT1, NAT2 & GSTT2-2 activities in normal and neoplastic human breast tissues Geylan-SU, YS; Isgor, B; Coban, T; Kapucuoglu, N; Aydintug, S; Iscan, M; Iscan, M; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün (American Society for Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET), 2006-01-01) In this study, arylamine N-acetyltransferases, NATs (E.C.2.3.1.5) and glutathione-S-transferase-T2-2, GSTT2-2 (E.C.2.5.1.18) enzyme activities in the breast tumor and surrounding tumor-free tissues of 22 female breast cancer patients with infiltrating ductal carcinoma were measured. The possible impacts of grade of malignancy, chemotherapy treatment, estrogen receptor status and menopausal status on all enzyme activities were evaluated. The results showed that, both NAT2 and GSTT2-2 display significant diff...
Modeling of Breast and Gynecological Cancers Data and Investigating New Biological Findings Ağyüz, Umut; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (null; 2018-06-27) The breast and gynecological cancers are two most common fatal cancers’ types in women in the world [1]. In oncological literature, these two cancers types are typically worked together since they are the risk factors of each other if the patient has one of these diseases [2]. In general, the cancers, like the heart diseases, are the systems’ ilnesses in the sense that any malfunctions in the associated transaction pathways cause problems in the activation flow, resulting in tumors. Therefore, the mathemati...
