Publication Open Access Parathyroid allotransplantation in rabbits without cultivation.(2014-01-15) CAN, I; YUCESAN, E; Aysan, E; SAYITOGLU, M; OZBEK, U; ERCIVAN, M; ATASOY, H; BUYUKPINARBASILI, NUR; MUSLUMANOGLU, M; AYŞAN, MUSTAFA ERHAN; YÜCESAN, EMRAH; BÜYÜKPINARBAŞILI, NURPermanent hypoparathyroidism is a serious clinical situation. Allotransplantation of the parathyroid cells is relatively new approach to treatment. Non-cultivated allotransplantation in rabbits is not tried before. In this research parathyroidectomy was performed in six female New Zealand white rabbits. After division of surgically removed tissues into two, cryopreservation after cell isolation was done. Non-cultivated cross allotransplantation was performed under immunosuppression. Serum calcium and phosphorus levels were observed 15 days and histopathological analyses of the transplanted parathyroid tissues were studied. Significant changes in serum calcium and phosphorus levels during the experiment were observed (p=0.001 for both). Calcium levels which were significantly dropped to 6.66±0.7 mg/dL after parathyroidectomy and progressively increased up to 15.98±1.25 mg/dL at the end of the experiment (p=0.004). Phosphorus levels which were increased to 9.38±0.63 mg/dL after parathyroidectomy and stabilized to 4.46±1.06 mg/dL at the end of the experiment (p=0.007). All allotransplanted parathyroid tissues showed normal tissue architecture without evidence of cellular rejection. In conclusion allotransplantation of the parathyroid tissues without cultivation may be considered as an alternative and safe approach for the treatment of permanent hypoparathyroidism.Publication Metadata only Hipotiroidi Tedavisine Deneysel Alternatif Yöntem: Tiroid Dokusunun Kapsüle Edilmesi(2018-10-01T00:00:00Z) Yücesan, Emrah; Göncü, Beyza Servet; Başoğlu, Harun; Özten Kandaş, Nur; Kanımdan, Ebru; Akbaş, Fahri; Ersoy, Yeliz Emine; Ayşan, Mustafa Erhan; YÜCESAN, EMRAH; KANIMDAN, EBRU; AKBAŞ, FAHRİ; ERSOY, YELIZ EMINEAmaç: Hipotiroidi tüm yaş gruplarında görülebilen, bireylerin sağlıklarının genel olarak bozulmasına neden olan klinik bir tablodur. Tedavisi genellikle yaşam boyu ilaç kullanımıdır. Bu tedaviye rağmen hormon yetmezliğine bağlı semptomlar görülmekte ve uzun dönem ilaç kullanımına bağlı yan etkiler ortaya çıkmaktadır. Hastalardaki yetersiz tiroid hormon miktarını optimum sınırlara çekmek ve hastaların yaşam kalitesini yükseltmek için tiroid dokusu transplantasyonu alternatif bir yöntem olarak önem taşımaktadır. Sunulan çalışmada, transplantasyonda immün redden etkilenmemek için hem doku kültürü hem de biyouyumlu polimerle kapsüle edilmiş tiroit dokusunun in vitro optimizasyonu amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Mekanik yollarla kültüre edilen tiroid dokusu 2 grupta takip edilmiştir; doku kültürü ve kapsülasyon kültürü. In vitro ortamda 60 gün boyunca takip edilen kapsüllerin morfolojileri ışık mikroskopu ile birlikte T3 ve T4 hormon değerleri ise biyokimyasal olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: 3., 9., 12., 15., 30., 45., 60. günlerde toplanan medyum örneklerinden T3 ve T4 seviyeleri gözlemlendi. Kapsüle edilen dokularda, kapsüle edilmeyenlere ve negatif kontrol dokularına göre 15. gün itibariyle T3 değerleri daha yüksek bulundu. Buna rağmen T4 seviyeleri 60 gün boyunca sabit kaldı. Sonuç: Hipotiroidinin kalıcı tedavisi için kapsüle edilen tiroid dokularının in vitro ortamda verimliliği incelenmiştir. Öncül sonuçlarımız umut vaat etmesine rağmen bu optimizasyonun in vivo hayvan çalışmalarında da doğrulandıktan sonra insan çalışmalarına geçilmesi düşünülmelidir.Publication Open Access HLA Class I Expression Changes in Different Types of Cultured Parathyroid Cells.(2019-04-17T00:00:00Z) Goncu, B; Kandas, NO; Yucesan, Emrah; Aysan, E; GÖNCÜ, BEYZA SERVET; YÜCESAN, EMRAHObjectives: Tissue-specific immunogenicity can be characterized by the determination of human leukocyte antigens (HLA). Parathyroid hyperplasia tissue cells are presumed to have the ability to lose HLA class I expression profile during cultivation, whereas healthy parathyroid cells are presumed to already express HLA class I molecules at low levels. However, there are conflicting results about the expression of HLA class I antigens. In this study, our aim was to evaluate different patterns of HLA class I expression in different parathyroid tissue cells. Materials and Methods: Parathyroid tissue cells were isolated enzymatically and cultured in vitro. Expression of HLA class I (HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C) mRNA and protein levels were studied in 7 parathyroid adenomas and 9 parathyroid hyperplasia tissue samples by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analyses. Results: HLA-A protein expression remained stable in parathyroid adenoma and hyperplasia tissue, but HLA-A mRNA expression decreased in adenoma tissue. In parathyroid hyperplasia tissue, HLA-B protein expression remained stable, although mRNA expres sion levels decreased during cultivation. HLA-C mRNA expression was steady in parathyroid adenoma yet significantly decreased in hyperplasia tissue samples. HLA-C protein expression levels were below 30 pg for both types of parathyroid tissue during cultivation. Conclusions: HLA class I expression levels of para thyroid hyperplasia and adenoma tissue were not found to be similar. Parathyroid hyperplasia tissue is the donor tissue for the treatment of permanent hypoparathyroidism. Therefore, expression patterns of HLA class I are directly relevant to the transplant process. In particular, the HLA region is highly polymorphic, and, as a consequence of this, heterogeneous correlations among HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C expression patterns of parathyroid tissue should be evaluated in detail before transplant for future studies.
