    Evidence for health-promoting properties of Lepidium Sativum L.: an updated comprehensive review
    (2022) Hekmatshoar, Yalda; Özkan, Tülin; Saadat, Yalda Rahbar
    Lepidium sativum L. is a common herb distributed worldwide, used as a food ingredient and therapeutic agent in traditional medicine for treating health-related disorders. L. sativum and its extracts have been described to possess numerous biological activities including antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antioxidant, antidiarrheal, anticancer, and numerous health-promoting effects in in vivo and in vitro studies. The purpose of this review is to summarize the findings describing important biological functions and therapeutic effects of L. sativum in various cell lines and animal models. In this review, the English-language articles were gathered from electronic databases including Web of Science, PubMed and Google Scholar with no time limit applied to any database. The search terms used in this review include, "Lepidium sativum L." and/or "chemical composition", "health benefits", "antimicrobial", "antioxidant", "anticancer", "diuretic", "nephro-protection", "antidiarrheal", "antidiabetic", "anti-asthmatic", "neuroprotection", "metabolic", "bone fracture", and "reproductive performance". Additional and eligible studies were collected from reference lists of appropriate articles. The information presented will be helpful to attract more interest toward medicinal plants by defining and developing novel clinical applications and new drug formulations in the future. Pre-clinical studies showed that L. sativum possesses potent health-promoting effects involving various molecular mechanisms. Taken all together, data suggested that identified herbal plants such as L. sativum, can be exploited as nutritional and therapeutic agents to combat various ailments. Despite much research in this field, further comprehensive in vitro/in vivo studies and clinical trials are needed to identify the mechanisms underlying the biological and therapeutic activities of L. sativum.

    Identification of common genes and pathways underlying imatinib and nilotinib treatment in CML: a bioinformatics study
    (2023) Hekmatshoar, Yalda; Saadat, Yalda Rahbar; Özkan, Tülin; Bozkurt, Süreyya; Gürel, Aynur Karadağ
    Imatinib (IMA) and nilotinib are the first and second generations of BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which widely applied in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment. Here we aimed to provide new targets for CML treatment by transcriptome analysis. Microarray data GSE19567 was downloaded and analyzed from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to identify common genes, which are downregulated or upregulated in K562-imatinib and K562-nilotinib treated cells. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were assessed, and STRING and Cytoscape were used to create the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. In imatinib and nilotinib treated groups' comparison, there were common 626 upregulated and 268 downregulated genes, which were differentially expressed. The GO analysis represented the enrichment of DEGs in iron ion binding, protein tyrosine kinase activity, transcription factor activity, ATP binding, sequence-specific DNA binding, cytokine activity, the mitochondrion, sequence-specific DNA binding, plasma membrane and cell-cell adherens junction. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that downregulated DEGs were associated with pathways including microRNAs in cancer and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Furthermore, upregulated DEGs were involved in hematopoietic cell lineage, lysosome and chemical carcinogenesis. Among the upregulated genes, MYH9, MYH14, MYL10, MYL7, MYL5, RXRA, CYP1A1, FECH, AKR1C3, ALAD, CAT, CITED2, CPT1A, CYP3A5, CYP3A7, FABP1, HBD, HMBS and PPOX genes were found as hub genes. Moreover, 20 downregulated genes, YARS, AARS, SARS, GARS, CARS, IARS, RRP79, CEBPB, RRP12, UTP14A, PNO1, CCND1, DDX10, MYC, WDR43, CEBPG, DDIT3, VEGFA, PIM1 and TRIB3 were identified as hub genes. These genes have the potential to become target genes for diagnosis and therapy of CML patients.

    Phenotypic and functional characterization of subpopulation of Imatinib resistant chronic myeloid leukemia cell line
    (2023) Hekmatshoar, Yalda; Karadağ Gürel, Aynur; Özkan, Tülin; Saadat, Yalda Rahbar; Koç, Aslı; Karabay, Arzu Zeynep; Bozkurt, Süreyya; Sunguroğlu, Asuman
    Purpose: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematological malignancy characterized by the presence of BCR-ABL protein. Imatinib (IMA) is considered as the first line therapy in management of CML which particularly targets the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase protein. However, emergence of resistance to IMA hinders its clinical efficiency. Hence, identifying novel targets for therapeutic approaches in CML treatment is of great importance. Here, we characterize a new subpopulation of highly adherent IMA-resistant CML cells that express stemness and adhesion markers compared to naive counterparts. Materials and methods: We performed several experimental assays including FISH, flow cytometry, and gene expression assays. Additionally, bioinformatics analysis was performed by normalized web-available microarray data (GSE120932) to revalidate and introduce probable biomarkers. Protein-protein interactions (PPI) network was analyzed by the STRING database employing Cytoscape v3.8.2. Results: Our findings demonstrated that constant exposure to 5 ​μM IMA led to development of the adherent phenotype (K562R-adh). FISH and BCR-ABL expression analysis indicated that K562R-adh cells were derived from the original cells (K562R). In order to determine the role of various genes involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stem cell characterization, up/down-regulation of various genes including cancer stem cell (CSC), adhesion and cell surface markers and integrins were observed which was similar to the findings of the GSE120932 dataset. Conclusion: Treating CML patients with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as well as targeting adhesion molecules deemed to be effective approaches in prevention of IMA resistance emergence which in turn may provide promising effects in the clinical management of CML patients.
