Functional characterization of 15-lipoxygenase-1 expression in human colorectal carcinoma cell line ht-29
Tunçay, Seda; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2009)
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is often lethal when invasion and/or metastasis occur. 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LO-1), an enzyme of the inflammatory eicosanoid pathway, oxidatively metabolizes linoleic acid and its expression is repressed in CRC. In the present study, the hypothesis that the lack of 15-LO-1 expression in CRC cells may contribute to the tumorigenesis was investigated. Therefore 15-LO-1 was introduced to colon cancer cell line HT-29 that does not have detectable levels of the 15-LO-1. The HT-29 cells...
Functional importance of CXXC5 in E2-driven cellular proliferation
Razizadeh, Negin; Muyan, Mesut; Department of Biology (2019)
17β-estradiol (E2) as the main circulating estrogen hormone has an important role in the regulation of various tissues including mammary tissue. E2 effects target tissue functions by binding to the nuclear receptors, ERα and β. ERs regulate the expression of target genes. Previous studies conducted in our laboratory indicate that one of these estrogen responsive genes is CXXC5 which is regulated by ERα. CXXC5 has a highly conserved zinc-finger CXXC domain, which makes it a member of zinc-finger CXXC domain ...
Functional analysis of a mirna putatively involved in powdery mildew disease susceptibility in barley
Dağdaş, Gülay; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Department of Biotechnology (2009)
Barley is one of the most important crop species in Turkey and powdery mildew is one of the most common pathogen decreasing yield in barley. For this problem, agricultural biologists apply breeding technologies in order to select and propagate resistant barley cultivars. However, this is not a permanent solution since pathogens evolve rapidly to overcome plant resistance mechanisms. On the other hand, molecular plant pathologists are trying to understand basic mechanisms underlying plant-pathogen interactio...
Functional analysis of fungal effector candidate ssp (small secreted protein) genes of septoria leaf blotch pathogen (zymoseptoria tritici) in wheat
Mustafa, Zemran; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Ölmez, Fatih; Department of Biotechnology (2019)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the main cereals sown world-wide. It constitutes a significant portion of daily calorie intake in many parts of the world. Despite lots of studies conducted over many years to increase the yield, there are significant losses in wheat production due to biotic and abiotic factors. Septoria tritici blotch is one of the most challenging disease among biotic stress factors. Septoria Leaf Blotch is one of the most important fungal disease in Turkey and the world, causing man...
Functional characterization of microrna-125b expression in MCF7 breast cancer cell line
Tuna, Serkan; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Department of Biology (2010)
microRNA dependent gene expression regulation has roles in diverse processes such as differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. Therefore, deregulated miRNA expression has functional importance for various diseases, including cancer. miR-125b is among the commonly downregulated miRNAs in breast cancer cells . Therefore we aimed to characterize the effects of miR-125b expression in MCF7 breast cancer cell line (BCCL) to better understand its roles in tumorigenesis. Here, we investigated mir-125 family mem...
