The molecular mechanisms of balanced and continuous generation of intestinal epithelial cells, is closely regulated and disruption of this balance may result in neoplastic transformation and malignant growth. Differentiation is regulated by numerous signals, which in turn regulate signaling pathways directing activation or inactivation of certain transcription factors. Perturbations like changes in Ca2+levels, glucose or amino acid starvation may result in an ER stress response, which is also implicated in the differentiation process. In addition, ER stress and autophagypathways may function together under certain circumstances.The transcription factor C/EBPbeta is implicated in differentiation, ER stress and autophagy. In the current study, we have used Caco-2 and HT-29, twocolorectal cancer cell lines that can under go spontaneous differentiation after reaching 100% conﬂuency, or through glucosedeprivation respectively to enterocyte like cells. We haveobserved an ER stress response to be activated during the process of differentiation. Ca2+ﬂux into the cytoplasm was foundto be the mediator of ER stress response in Caco-2 cells.Interestingly, ER stress also caused induction of autophagy during differentiation in both cell lines. Moreover, ER stress resulted in the up regulation of C/EBPbeta-3, a short isoform of C/EBPbeta generated through alternative translation, whichthen orchestrated the activation of autophagy. ChIP-seq revealed that C/EBPbeta was enriched in the promoters of genes related to metabolism, junctional and membrane proteins, endocytosis and differentiation and proliferation in intestinal epithelial cells.We have shown here for the ﬁrst time that ER stress inducedautophagy and the involvement of C/EBPbeta-3 in these processes in the differentiation of Caco-2 and HT-29 cell lines. Theseresults suggest new regulatory mechanisms that may be of signiﬁcance in the process of intestinal epithelial differentiation.

Regulation and role of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein during differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells Memişoğlu, Aslı Sade; Banerjee, Sreeparna (2013-09-01) Background: The molecular mechanisms of differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells, is poorly understood and disruption of this balance may result in neoplastic transformation and malignant growth. The family of CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein (C/EBP) transcription factors is implicated in cellular growth, differentiation, inflammation and development and control differentiation in several cell types. The involvement of these transcription factors in intestinal differentiation is not known. The aim of th...
Investigation of the molecular pathways involved in intestinal epithelial differentiation Sade Memişoğlu, Aslı; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2014) The molecular mechanisms of balanced and continuous generation of intestinal epithelial cells, is poorly understood and disruption of this balance may result in neoplastic transformation and malignant growth. Differentiation is regulated by numerous signals, which in turn regulate signaling pathways directing activation or inactivation of certain transcription factors. Perturbations like changes in Ca2+ levels, glucose or amino acid starvation result in an ER stress response, which is also implicated in the...
Activation of survival pathways in nutrient restricted colorectal cancer cells Oral, Göksu; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2023-1-9) Limited nutrient availability in the tumor microenvironment can cause metabolic rewiring of cancer cells, resulting in the activation of various stress response pathways such as autophagy for survival. Our study showed for the first time that incubation of LoVo cells with a nutrient restriction medium containing low glucose, glutamine, and serum for 48 h resulted in the concurrent activation of two antagonistic proteins: the AMP Kinase pathway (AMPK) which is phosphorylated in response to low energy and act...
Alterations of ceramide/sphingosine 1-phosphate rheostat involved in the regulation of resistance to imatinib-induced apoptosis in K562 human chronic myeloid leukemia cells Baran, Yusuf; Salas, Arelis; Senkal, Can E.; Gündüz, Ufuk; Bielawski, Jacek; Obeid, Lina M.; Ogretmen, Besim (2007-04-13) In this study, mechanisms of resistance to imatinib-induced apoptosis in human K562 cells were examined. Continuous exposure to stepwise increasing concentrations of imatinib resulted in the selection of K562/IMA-0.2 and -1 cells, which expressed similar to 2.3- and 19-fold resistance, respectively. Measurement of endogenous ceramides by high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy showed that treatment with imatinib increased the generation of ceramide, mainly C-18-ceramide, which is generated ...
REGULATION OF M2-TYPE PYRUVATE-KINASE FROM HUMAN MENINGIOMA BY ALLOSTERIC EFFECTORS FRUCTOSE 1,6 DIPHOSPHATE AND L-ALANINE MELLATI, AA; YUCEL, M; ALTINORS, N; Gündüz, Ufuk (1992-01-01) In the present study the mechanism of action of M2-type pyruvate kinase from human meningioma in the simultaneous presence of fructose 1,6 diphosphate and L-alanine was investigated. Purified pyruvate kinase from human meningioma was allosterically inhibited by L-alanine with respect to substrates phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP. The inhibitory effects of L-alanine was partially removed by fructose 1,6 diphosphate. The purified enzyme was slightly susceptible to ATP inhibition.
