    The Effects of Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Stimulation of Nucleus Accumbens on Neuronal Gene Expression and Brain Tissue in High Alcohol-Preferring Rats
    (2022-11-01) Deveci E.; Akbaş F.; Ergun A. Ş.; Kurtulmuş A.; Koçak A. B.; Boyraz R. K.; Tok O. E.; Aydın M. Ş.; Kılıç Ö.; Bozkurt A.; et al.; AKBAŞ, FAHRİ; KILIÇ, ÖZGE; EŞREFOĞLU, MUKADDES; KOÇYİĞİT, ABDÜRRAHİM; KIRPINAR, İSMET
    We investigated the effect of low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) on gene expression related to alcohol dependence and histological effects on brain tissue. We also aimed at determining the miRNA-mRNA relationship and their pathways in alcohol dependence-induced expression changes after focused ultrasound therapy. We designed a case-control study for 100 days of observation to investigate differences in gene expression in the short-term stimulation group (STS) and long-term stimulation group (LTS) compared with the control sham group (SG). The study was performed in our Experimental Research Laboratory. 24 male high alcohol-preferring rats 63 to 79 days old, weighing 270 to 300 g, were included in the experiment. LTS received 50-day LIFU and STS received 10-day LIFU and 40-day sham stimulation, while the SG received 50-day sham stimulation. In miRNA expression analysis, it was found that LIFU caused gene expression differences in NAc. Significant differences were found between the groups for gene expression. Compared to the SG, the expression of 454 genes in the NAc region was changed in the STS while the expression of 382 genes was changed in the LTS. In the LTS, the expression of 32 genes was changed in total compared to STS. Our data suggest that LIFU targeted on NAc may assist in the treatment of alcohol dependence, especially in the long term possibly through altering gene expression. Our immunohistochemical studies verified that LIFU does not cause any tissue damage. These findings may lead to new studies in investigating the efficacy of LIFU for the treatment of alcohol dependence and also for other psychiatric disorders.

    A Study on Thymoquinone: Antioxidant Capacity and Anticancer Activities in LoVo Colorectal Cancer Cells
    (2024-02-02) Bozali K.; Metin Guler E.; KOÇYİĞİT A.; KOÇYİĞİT, ABDÜRRAHİM
    Thymoquinone has antioxidant and anticancer effects. This study investigates the cytotoxic, genotoxic, and apoptotic effects of black seed and its active ingredient, thymoquinone on colorectal cancer cells. The antioxidant content of Black seed methanolic extracts (BSME) with different concentrations (50, 500 and 1000 mu g/mL) were determined by the photometric methods. The reactive oxygen production (iROS) of BSME and thymoquinone on colorectal cancer cells (LoVo) and normal epithelial cells (CCD18Co) were analyzed by the fluorometric methods. A luminometric glutathione kit was employed to observe the changes in intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels. Cytotoxicity was determined by the ATP method, genotoxicity was determined by Comet Assay, and the apoptosis was identified by the Acridine Orange/Ethidium Bromide (AO/EB) double dye method. The cytotoxicity was increased by BSME and thymoquinone in LoVo cells in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.001). BSME and thymoquinone also increased iROS, and induced apoptosis and DNA damage (p<0.001). High doses of BSME and thymoquinone on cancer and healthy cells have cytotoxic, genotoxic and apoptotic effects with pro-oxidant effects. Colorectal cancer cells are more sensitive than healthy cells.

    An in vitro analysis of an innovative standardized phospholipid carrier-based Melissa officinalis L. extract as a potential neuromodulator for emotional distress and related conditions
    (2024-01-01) KARA M.; Sahin S.; Rabbani F.; ÖZTAŞ E.; Hasbal-Celikok G.; KANIMDAN E.; KOÇYİĞİT A.; Kanwal A.; Wade U.; Yakunina A.; et al.; KANIMDAN, EBRU; KOÇYİĞİT, ABDÜRRAHİM
    Background: Melissa officinalis L. (MO), commonly known as lemon balm, a member of the mint family, is considered a calming herb. In various traditional medicines, it has been utilized to reduce stress and anxiety and promote sleep. A growing body of clinical evidence suggests that MO leaf extract supplementation possesses considerable neuropharmacological properties. However, its possible mechanism of action largely remains unknown. Objective: In the present in vitro studies, we comparatively investigated the central nervous system (CNS)-calming and antioxidative stress properties of an innovative standardized phospholipid carrier-based (Phytosome™) MO extract (Relissa™) vs. an unformulated dry MO extract. Methods: The neuropharmacological effect of the extract was studied in the anti-depressant enzymes γ-aminobutyrate transaminase (GABA-T) and monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) assays and SH-SY5Y cells brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression assay. The neuroprotective effect of the extract against oxidative stress was assessed in SH-SY5Y cell-based (H2O2-exposed) Total Antioxidant Status (TAS) and Total Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) assays. The cytotoxic effect of the extract was evaluated using MTT and LDH assays. The extract antioxidant effect was also evaluated in cell-free chemical tests, including TEAC-ABTS, DPPH, Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP), Oxygen Radical Antioxidant Capacity (ORAC), and Hydroxyl Radical Antioxidant Capacity (HORAC) assays. Results: Relissa™ exhibited high GABA-T inhibitory activity, IC50 (mg/mL) = 0.064 vs. unformulated dry MO extract, IC50 (mg/mL) = 0.27. Similar inhibitory effects were also observed for MAO-A. Relissa™ demonstrated an improved neuroprotective antioxidant effect on SH-SY5Y cells against H2O2-induced oxidative stress. Compared to unformulated dry MO extract, Relissa™ exerted high protective effect on H2O2-exposed SH-SY5Y cells, leading to higher cells BDNF expression levels. Moreover, cell-free chemical tests, including TEAC-ABTS, DPPH radical scavenging, FRAP, ORAC, and HORAC assays, validated the improved antioxidant effect of Relissa™ vs. unformulated dry MO extract. Conclusion: The results of the present study support the neuromodulating and neuroprotective properties of Relissa™, and its supplementation may help in the amelioration of emotional distress and related conditions.
