© 2022Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), an aggressive cancer associated with exposure to fibrous minerals, can only be diagnosed in the advanced stage because its early symptoms are also connected with other respiratory diseases. Hence, understanding the molecular mechanism and the discrimination of MPM from other lung diseases at an early stage is important to apply effective treatment strategies and for the increase in survival rate. This study aims to develop a new approach for characterization and diagnosis of MPM among lung diseases from serum by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) coupled with multivariate analysis. The detailed spectral characterization studies indicated the changes in lipid biosynthesis and nucleic acids levels in the malignant serum samples. Furthermore, the results showed that healthy, benign exudative effusion, lung cancer, and MPM groups were successfully separated from each other by applying principal component analysis (PCA), support vector machine (SVM), and especially linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to infrared spectra.

This study was conducted to differentiate malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) from lung cancer (LC) and benign pleural effusion (BPE) from pleural fluids using the diagnostic power of Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance mode coupled with chemometrics. Infrared spectra of MPM (n = 24), LC (n = 20), and BPE (n = 25) were collected, and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were applied to their spectra. HCA results indicated that MPM ...
Comprehensive native glycan profiling with isomer separation and quantitation for the discovery of cancer biomarkers

Glycosylation is highly sensitive to the biochemical environment and has been implicated in many diseases including cancer. Glycan compositional profiling of human serum with mass spectrometry has already identified potential biomarkers for several types of cancer and diseases; however, composition alone does not fully describe glycan stereo-and regioisomeric diversity. The vast structural heterogeneity of glycans presents a formidable analytical challenge. We have developed a method to identify and quantif...
Evaluation of disseminated candidiasis on an experimental animal model: A Fourier transform infrared study

Invasive candidiasis, defined as candidemia and disseminated candidiasis, is the most common fungal infection in hospitalized patients. In the current study, we used Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy as a rapid, non-perturbing technique to investigate the effects of disseminated candidiasis on mouse liver tissues at the molecular level. The results revealed that the infection caused compositional changes in the tissues by decreasing the lipid content and the ratio of the saturated lipids to un...
ASSOCIATION OF FLT3 AND NPM1 MUTATIONS IN ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA PATIENTS WITH METABOLOMIC PATTERNS DETERMINED BY MASS SPECTROMETRY
Gerekci Yeşilyurt, Selin; Özen, Can; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Biochemistry (2022-8-29)
Acute Myeloid Leukemia is a hematological cancer with high phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity. Patients diagnosed with AML are categorized into risk groups based on cytogenetic and molecular abnormality tests, which determine the specific treatment regimes. Since risk status determination takes significant amount of time and some emergency patients require immediate treatment, a method to provide fast clinical data that will be the basis for initial treatment regime is needed in the medical commun...
The contribution of kinetoplast DNA to Leishmania major experimental infection and evaluation of Leishmania extracellular vesicle based vaccine against cutaneous Leishmaniasis in BALB/C mice

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected vector borne parasitic infection that manifests as self-healing skin lesions or cause debilitating large chronic or recurring lesions. CL is endemic in Turkey and its incidence rate is on the rise due to immigration of refugees from affected regions. Leishmania parasites harbor a unique mitochondrial DNA structure called kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), consisting of giant networks of catenated mini and maxi-circles. The role of kDNA in infection is poorly understood. In t...
