Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma is the second deadliest cancer with limited treatment options. Loss of PTEN causes the P13K/Akt pathway to be hyperactive which contributes to cell survival and resistance to therapeutics in various cancers, including the liver cancer. Hence molecules targeting this pathway present good therapeutic strategies for liver cancer.

Multifaceted Transport Characteristics of Nanomedicine: Needs for Characterization in Dynamic Environment Özçelikkale, Altuğ; Han, Bumsoo (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2013-06-01) Nanomedicine for cancer, where nanoparticles (NPs) are used to deliver drugs, imaging agents, and heat to tumors, shows great potential of improved therapeutic outcomes. In spite of promising early stage results, its clinical efficacy is still significantly limited due to complex transport barriers in vivo. These transport barriers are associated with tumor microenvironment, which is highly complex and heterogeneous and varies spatiotemporally. Thus, in order to improve the in vivo efficacy of nanomedicine,...
MTA-1 expression is associated with metastasis and epithelial to mesenchymal transition in colorectal cancer cells Cagatay, Seda Tuncay; Cimen, Ismail; SAVAŞ, BERNA; Banerjee, Sreeparna (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-04-01) Although metastasis associated protein 1 (MTA1) has been widely linked to tumor metastasis, the relevant mechanisms remain to be elucidated, especially in colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we have investigated the link between MTA1, metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in CRC. Eighteen normal colon tissues and 91 resected tumor samples were analyzed for MTA1 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC). IHC indicated low or no nuclear MTA1 expression in the normal tissues and significantly higher...
Bioactivity analysis of novel indole derivatives on hepatocellular carcinoma as sirtuin inhibitors Bınarcı, Büşra; Muyan, Mesut; Kahraman, Deniz Cansen; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2021-9-8) Hepatocellular carcinoma is ruthless cancer, a subtype of primary liver cancer and affects many people with various ethnic backgrounds and age intervals. Indole derivative molecules are potent chemicals used in several drugs and target many essential proteins malfunctioning multiple diseases. One of the targets of indole derivatives is histone deacetylases (HDACs), which reverses histone acetylation modifications that open DNA to lead transcription machinery to promote transcription. This study screened 28 ...
Network-based discovery of molecular targeted agent treatments in hepatocellular carcinoma Fayetörbay, Rumeys; Tunçbağ, Nurcan; Department of Bioinformatics (2020) Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most-deadly cancers and the most common type of primary liver cancer. Multikinase inhibitor Sorafenib is one of FDA approved targeted agents in HCC treatment. PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is altered in about 51% of HCC; hence, understanding how Sorafenib and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway inhibitors act at signaling level is crucial for targeted therapies and to reveal the off-target effects. In this work, we use gene expression profiles (GEPs) of HCC cells (Huh7 and Mahlavu) wh...
Folic acid-conjugated polyethylene glycol-coated magnetic nanoparticles for doxorubicin delivery in cancer chemotherapy: Preparation, characterization and cytotoxicity on HeLa cell line Erdem, Murat; Gündüz, Ufuk (2017-08-01) Conventional chemotherapy is the most valid method to cope with cancer; however, it has serious drawbacks such as decrease in production of blood cells or inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract. These side effects occur since generally the drugs used in chemotherapy are distributed evenly within the body of the patient and cannot distinguish the cancer cells from the healthy ones. In this study, folic acid (FA)-conjugated, polyethylene-coated magnetic nanoparticles (FA-MNPs), and doxorubicin (Dox...
