    Ivermectin Induces Oxidative Stress and DNA Damage in Breast Cancer Cells
    (2023-01-01) Güler E. M.; Günaydın Akyıldız A.; GÜNAYDIN AKYILDIZ, AYŞENUR
    Objective: Breast cancer (BC) remains to be one of the most diagnosed cancer types among women around the world. Drug repurposing is suggested to be a convenient alternative for drug development in cancer treatment. Ivermectin, the antiparasitic agent produced by the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis, is currently being examined thoroughly in oncology and has begun to be seen as a potential drug candidate for BC therapy. However, studies are limited, and the exact anti-tumorigenic mechanism is not yet clarified in breast cancer. Methods: For elucidating the molecular mechanisms of Ivermectin’s potential anticancer effects, we have examined its in vitro effects on BC cells in terms of cell viability, intracellular ROS levels, glutathione levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, apoptosis, and DNA damage. Results: Ivermectin induces apoptosis via oxidative stress and DNA damage in BC cells. Conclusion: The in vitro mechanistic studies of promising anticancer agents for repurposing are essential guides for drug developers. For this purpose, ivermectin should be further studied as a drug candidate for its potential in the treatment of breast cancer.

    The Effect of Intratumoral Budding and Other Histological Features in Predicting Treatment Response in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Neoadjuvant Therapy
    (2022-11-01) Ozturk C.; DUMAN ÖZTÜRK S.; OKCU O.; Sen B.; YASİN A. İ.; BEDİR R.; YASİN, AYŞE İREM
    Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is used with increasing frequency in breast cancers. Various clinicopathological parameters predict treatment response (TR). Tumor budding (TB), which is a prognostic parameter in many cancers, can be considered the first stage of the metastatic process. In our study, the relationship between TR and clinicopathological parameters and TB in core biopsy samples of patients before NAC was investigated.

    Design and synthesis of new heterocyclic compounds containing 5-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione structure as potent hEGFR inhibitors
    (2023-01-01) KOLCUOĞLU Y.; BEKİRCAN O.; Fazli H.; Sahin E.; TÜRE A.; AKDEMİR A.; Hamarat Sanlier S.; AKDEMİR, ATİLLA
    © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.EGFR is one of the important mediators of the signaling cascade that determines key roles in various biological processes such as growth, differentiation, metabolism and apoptosis in the cell in response to external and internal stimuli. In recent years, it has been proven that although this enzyme activity is tightly regulated in normal cells, if the enzyme activity cannot be controlled, it can lead to malignancy. EGFR is also considered a prominent macromolecule in targeted cancer chemotherapy. For this purpose, a comprehensive modeling studies were conducted against EGFR protein and novel molecules containing 5-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione structure were suggested to be synthesized. Among the synthesized molecules, compounds 7c, 8c, 8f and 8g were determined to have significant IC50 values. Compound 8g was found to have the IC50 value closest to the very well-known EGFR inhibitor Gefitinib with its noncompetitive inhibition form. K i value of compound 8g was calculated as 0.00232 µM.

    Evaluation of patients with pathological fractures treated by standard trauma principles but neglecting the underlying malign bone disease
    (2022-11-01) DEMİRÖZ S.; ÖKTEM F.; Celik A.; Erdogan O.; ÖZKAN K.; GÜRKAN V.; GÜRKAN, VOLKAN
    Introduction: There are several studies in the literature about pathological fractures but almost no in-formation about patients whose pathological fracture caused by a malignant lesion misdiagnosed and treated as a simple fracture. The aim of this study was to investigate patient and fracture characteristics, and outcomes in cases where fractures occurred in the presence of a malign pathology but were treated as simple fractures. Patients andMethods: Cases of malign bone lesions between 20 0 0 and 2020 were retrospectively re-viewed. Patients with a final diagnosis of malign bone lesion but whose pathological fractures were treated ignoring the underlying malign bone disease were included. Demographic, clinical and outcome data were collected from patient\"s medical records and analyzed.Results: Six patients met the inclusion criteria. Three of the patients were female and the cohort mean age was 56.8 +/- 21.8 years at the time of admission. Patient diagnoses were: renal cell carcinoma metas-tasis ( n = 1); colon cancer metastasis ( n = 1); chondrosarcoma ( n = 2); osteosarcoma ( n = 1); and undif-ferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of bone ( n = 1). In all cases surgical management differed from those that should have been applied if the pathological fracture had been identified. Furthermore, surgical man-agement after definitive histological diagnosis were more aggressive compared to if the malignancy had been identified at first admission. All patients died after a mean follow-up of 16.67 +/- 11.7 months and the complication rate was 100%.Conclusion: When a pathological fracture is misdiagnosed and managed as a simple bone fracture, out-comes are extremely poor. In these situations, remedial surgery is more extensive, with increased com-plication rates and there is poor life expectancy.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Understanding and Targeting the Colon Cancer Pathogenesis: A Molecular Perspective
    (2022-01-01) KHAN I.; KHAN, IMRAN
    Colorectal cancer (CRC) one of the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. With the presently available knowledge on CRC, it is understood that the underlying is a complex process. The complexity of CRC lies in aberrant activation of several cellular signaling pathways that lead to activation and progression of CRC. In this context, recent studies have pointed towards the role of developmental pathways like; hedgehog (HH), wingless-related integration site (WNT/??-catenin) and Notch pathways that play a crucial role in maintenance and homeostasis of colon epithelium. Moreover, the deregulation of these signaling pathways has also been associated with the pathogenesis of CRC. Therefore, in the search for better therapeutic options, these pathways have emerged as potential targets. The present review attempts to highlight the role of HH, WNT/??-catenin and Notch pathways in colon carcinogenesis.

    (2023-12-01) Özçelik C.; VARLI B.; Gökçe A.; Takmaz T.; ÇETİN Ç.; ÖZCAN P.; TAKMAZ, TAHA; ÇETİN, ÇAĞLAR; ÖZCAN, PINAR
    PURPOSE: Infertility is a stressful condition for couples and can affect patients\" circadian rhythm and sleep quality. The goal of this study is to assess differences in chronotype and sleep quality between infertile and fertile people. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted. The infertile patient population consisted study group. Primiparous patients without any known gynecological disease who presented for routine cervical cancer screening follow-up were included in the control group. The Turkish version of the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores were evaluated between groups. RESULTS: A total of 227 patients were assessed. There were 110 patients in the study (infertile) group and 117 patients in the control (fertile) group. The evening chronotype proportion (23.6 vs. 0.9%, p < 0.001) was higher in the infertile group. The median of MEQ score was significantly higher in the fertile patients (50, IQR = 43 - 55 vs. 56, IQR = 51 - 59; p < 0.001), and the median of PSQI score was significantly higher in the infertile patients (5, IQR = 4 - 6, vs. 4, IQR = 3 - 5; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we found significantly worse sleep quality, and more evening chronotype in the patients with infertility.
