    microRNA-21 expression is elevated in esophageal adenocarcinoma after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
    (Taylor & Francis, 2015-01-01) İlhan-Mutlu, Ayşegül; Tezcan, Gülçin; Schoppmann, Sebastian F.; Preusser, Matthias; Spyridoula, Kommata; Karanikas, Georgios; Birner, Peter; TEZCAN, GÜLÇİN; Tıp Fakültesi; Tıbbi Biyoloji Ana Bilim Dalı; 0000-0002-5956-8755; AAH-3843-2020
    We investigated whether microRNA-21 and microRNA-148a are predictive for neoadjuvant treatment in esophageal adenocarcinoma. Thirty-six patients with neoadjuvant therapy and surgical resection were included. FFPE tissue from biopsy and esophagectomy were analyzed using RT-qPCR. Results were correlated to histological tumor regression, histopathological variables, FDG-PET-CT and survival. MicroRNA-21 was significantly higher in esophagectomies than in corresponding biopsies (p = .027). No association of microRNA-21 or micro RNA-148a expression in tissue specimens with other clinical parameters was present. Although no influence of microRNA-21 and microRNA-148a on the response to neoadjuvant therapy was seen, upregulation of micro RNA-21 might represent an escape mechanism of tumor cells.

    Background and Aim: In 10-30% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, toxic reactions occur after fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy. A dihydropyridine dehydrogenase (DPYD) gene variant, c.1905 + 1G>A, leads to intolerance to fluoropyrimidines. Due to the low frequency of this variant in many populations, the prevalence of fluoropyrimidine-induced hematologic side effects in CRC patients with the c.1905 + 1G>A variant is unclear. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of the DPYD c.1905 + 1 variants in a Turkish CRC cohort and the potential effects of these variants on fluoropyrimidine-induced hematologic side effects.Materials and Methods: The DPYD c.1905 + 1 variant was genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and confirmed by Sanger sequencing in peripheral blood samples of 100 CRC patients who received fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy and 60 healthy volunteers. The association of c.1905 + 1 variants with susceptibility to hematologic side effects was evaluated.Results: The DPYD c.1905 + 1G>A variant was more common in the CRC group than in the healthy control group (p = 0.001). The presence of the c.1905 + 1G>A variant was associated with thrombocytopenia (p = 0.039) and anemia (p = 0.035). CRC patients with fluoropyrimidine-induced anemia had shorter disease-free survival than CRC patients without fluoropyrimidine-induced anemia (p = 0.0009).Conclusions: Before administering fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy, genetic screening for the DPYD c.1905 + 1G>A variant should be performed with the aim of preventing anemia and anemia-induced complications in CRC patients.

    AIM: To describe the role of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) in glioblastoma (GB) progression in patients concurrently diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM).MATERIAL and METHODS: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor samples of 47 patients diagnosed with GB only and 13 patients diagnosed with GB and DM (GB-DM) were enrolled in this study. Data for p53 and Ki67 immunohistochemical staining of the tumors and blood HbA1c levels of patients with DM were retrospectively collected. MALAT1 expression was assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.RESULTS: The coexistence of GB and DM induced the nuclear expression of p53 and Ki67 compared with GB only. MALAT1 expression was higher in GB-DM tumors than in GB only tumors. The expression of MALAT1 and HbA1c levels were positively correlated. Additionally, MALAT1 was positively correlated with tumoral p53 and Ki67. The disease-free survival of patients with GB-DM with high MALAT1 expression was shorter than that of those diagnosed with GB only and with a lower MALAT1 expression.CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that one of the mechanisms of the facilitating effect of DM on GB tumor aggressiveness is via MALAT1 expression.

    Glioblastoma (GB) has susceptibility to post-surgical recurrence. Therefore, local treatment methods are required against recurrent GB cells in the post-surgical area. In this study, we developed a nanofiber-based local therapy against GB cells using Oleuropein (OL), and rutin and their combinations with Temozolomide (TMZ). The polylactic acid (PLA) coreshell nanofiber webs were encapsulated with OL (PLA(OL)), rutin (PLA(rutin)), and TMZ (PLA(TMZ)) by an electrospinning process. A SEM visualized the morphology and the total immersion method determined the release characteristics of PLA webs. Real-time cell tracking analysis for cell growth, dual Acridine Orange/Propidium Iodide staining for cell viability, a scratch wound healing assay for migration capacity, and a sphere formation assay for tumor spheroid aggressiveness were used. All polymeric nanofiber webs had core -shell structures with an average diameter between 133 +/- 30.7-139 +/- 20.5 nm. All PLA webs promoted apoptotic cell death, suppressed cell migration, and spheres growth (p < 0.0001). PLA(OL) and PLA(TMZ) suppressed GB cell viability with a controlled release that increased over 120 h, while PLA(rutin) caused rapid cell inhibition (p < 0.0001). Collectively, our findings suggest that core-shell nanowebs could be a novel and effective therapeutic tool for the controlled release of OL and TMZ against recurrent GB cells.

    Olea europaea leaf phenolics oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, and rutin Induce apoptosis and additionally affect temozolomide against glioblastoma: In particular, oleuropein inhibits spheroid growth by attenuating stem-like cell phenotype

    The effects of Olea europaea leaf extract (OLE) phenolics, including oleuropein (OL), hydroxytyrosol (HT), tyrosol (TYR), and rutin against glioblastoma (GB), independently and in combination with temozolomide (TMZ), were investigated in T98G and A172 cells. Cell growth was assessed by WST-1, real-time cell analysis, colony formation, and cell cycle distribution assays. A dual acridine orange propidium iodide (AO/PI) staining and annexin V assay determined cell viability. A sphere-forming assay, an intracellular oxidative stress assay, and the RNA expression of CD133 and OCT4 investigated the GB stem-like cell (GSC) phenotype. A scratch wound-healing assay evaluated migration capacity. OL was as effective as OLE in terms of apoptosis promotion (p < 0.001) and GSC inhibition (p < 0.001). HT inhibited cell viability, GSC phenotype, and migration rate (p < 0.001), but its anti-GB effect was less than the total effect of OLE alone. Rutin decreased reactive oxygen species production and inhibited colony formation and cell migration (p < 0.001). TYR demonstrated the least effect. The additive effects of OL, HT, TYR and rutin with TMZ were significant (p < 0.001). Our data suggest that OL may represent a novel therapeutic approach against GB cells, while HT and rutin show promise in increasing the efficacy of TMZ therapy.
