Publication Investigation of the dual role of scorzonera pygmaea: Cytotoxic activity and antioxidant potential(Wiley, 2023-10-19) Sarımahmut, Mehmet; SARIMAHMUT, MEHMET; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Biyoloji Bölümü; 0000-0003-2647-5875; JCN-7113-2023Scorzonera pygmaea, an indigenous plant of western Anatolia, belongs to the Scorzonera genus, which includes various species recognized for their edible and medicinal properties. This study is aimed at investigating the phenolic composition of S. pygmaea; evaluating its antioxidant, cytotoxic, apoptotic, and genotoxic activities; and assessing the impact of S. pygmaea on the expression of cell cycle regulatory genes. HPLC-DAD analysis identified chlorogenic acid as the predominant phenolic compound, potentially linking plant to dietary benefits. The antioxidant potential, evaluated using DPPH radical scavenging and CUPRAC assays, yielded an IC50 value of 63 53 +/- 6 29 pig/ml and a Trolox equivalent of 0 061 +/- 0 013 g/g, respectively. To assess antigrowth activity, the S. pygmaea extract was tested against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines, along with the nonmalignant MCF-10A cell line, using sulforhodamine B and ATP cell viability assays. The results exhibited highly consistent IC50 values of 104.63, 179.27, and 90.83 pig/ml, respectively. Notably, the S. pygmaea extract induced apoptosis in all cell lines, with MDA-MB-231 cells displaying a higher percentage of early apoptotic cells under fluorescence microscopy. The comet assay revealed that S. pygmaea extract induced DNA damage in all cell lines, with MCF-7 and MCF-10A cells showing an accumulation of DNA damage over time. Gene expression analysis revealed significant alterations in cell cycle regulators, with each cell line displaying distinct and time-dependent patterns after exposure to S. pygmaea. Collectively, these findings underscore the cytotoxic, apoptotic, and genotoxic activities of S. pygmaea while simultaneously emphasizing its antioxidant potential, especially given its high chlorogenic acid content. The dual role of S. pygmaea, evidenced by its cytotoxic and antioxidant properties, suggests the potential for further exploration of its utilization within the food industry as a possible dietary resource, while necessitating further studies to fully understand its implications.Publication Toxicity assessment of hypericum olympicum subsp. olympicum l. on human lymphocytes and breast cancer cell lines(Univ South Bohemia, 2020-01-01) Balıkçı, Necmiye; Sarımahmut, Mehmet; Arı, Ferda; Aztopal, Nazlıhan; Özel, Mustafa Zafer; Ulukaya, Engin; Çelikler, Serap; Balıkçı, Necmiye; SARIMAHMUT, MEHMET; ARI, FERDA; Aztopal, Nazlıhan; Ulukaya, Engin; ÇELİKLER KASIMOĞULLARI, SERAP; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Biyoloji Bölümü; 0000-0003-2647-5875; 0000-0002-6729-7908; 0000-0003-3118-8061; 0000-0003-4875-5472; 0000-0002-4177-3478; JCN-7113-2023; AAG-7012-2021; AAV-4886-2020; K-5792-2018; L-6687-2018; JCD-5015-2023; ENX-2092-2022There is a limited number of studies about the constituents of Hypericum olympicum subsp. olympicum and its genotoxic and cytotoxic potency. We examined the possible antigenotoxic/genotoxic properties of methanolic extract of H. olympicum subsp. olympicum (HOE) on human lymphocytes by employing sister chromatid exchange, micronucleus and comet assay and analyzed its chemical composition by GCxGC-TOF/MS. The anti-growth activity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines was assessed by using the ATP viability assay. Cell death mode was investigated with fluorescence staining and ELISA assays. The major components of the flower and trunk were determined as eicosane, heptacosane, 2-propen-1-ol, hexahydrofarnesyl acetone and alpha-muurolene. HOE caused significant DNA damage at selected doses (250-750 mu g/ml) while chromosomal damage was observed at higher concentrations (500 and 750 mu g/ml). HOE demonstrated anti-growth activity in a dose-dependent manner between 3.13-100 mu g/ml. Pyknotic nuclei were observed at 100 mu g/ml concentration of HOE in both cell lines. In conclusion, HOE demonstrated cytotoxic effects in a cell type-dependent manner, however its genotoxic effects were observed at relatively higher doses.Publication Plants from northwestern anatolia display selective cytotoxicity and induce mitotic catastrophe: A study on anticancer and genotoxic activities(Wiley, 2023-08-16) Sarımahmut, Mehmet; Çelikler, Serap; SARIMAHMUT, MEHMET; ÇELİKLER KASIMOĞULLARI, SERAP; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Biyoloji Bölümü; 0000-0003-2647-5875; 0000-0002-4177-3478; JCN-7113-2023; JCD-5015-2023Anatolia is rich in floristic diversity with a high rate of endemism. Eight plant species from northwestern Anatolia were evaluated for their anti-growth properties in two malignant (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and a non-malignant (MCF-10A) breast cell lines. The two most active extracts, Achillea multifida (AME) and Astragalus sibthorpianus (ASE), induced apoptotic cell death in all cell lines. The major phenolic compounds in AME were identified as chlorogenic acid, and catechins in ASE. ASE displayed selective cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells, with DNA damage repair in non-malignant cells contributing to its selectivity. Conversely, AME induced DNA damage in a time-dependent manner and displayed a dual dose-dependent biological activity, resulting in mitotic catastrophe and apoptosis at different doses. Most plant species exhibited moderate to strong cytotoxicity, highlighting their medicinal and economic potential and the need for their protection.
