Cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 5 (CHRNA5) RNAi is associated with cell cycle inhibition, apoptosis, DNA damage response and drug sensitivity in Breast cancer
Koker, Sahika Cingir; Jahja, Ermira; Shehwana, Huma; Keskus, Ayse Gokce; Konu, Ozlen (Public Library of Science, 2018)Cholinergic Receptor Nicotinic Alpha 5 (CHRNA5) is an important susceptibility locus for nicotine addiction and lung cancer. Depletion of CHRNA5 has been associated with reduced cell viability, increased apoptosis and ... -
CHRNA5 belongs to the secondary estrogen signaling network exhibiting prognostic significance in breast cancer
Shehwana, Huma; Keskus, Ayse Gokce; Ozdemir, E. Sila; Acikgöz, Azer Aylin; Biyik-Sit, Rumeysa; Cagnan, I.; Gunes, Damla; Jahja, Ermira; Cingir-Koker, Sahika; Olmezer, Gizem; Sucularli, Ceren; Konu, Ozlen (Springer, 2021-04)Cholinergic signals can be important modulators of cellular signaling in cancer. We recently have shown that knockdown of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 5, CHRNA5, diminishes the proliferative potential of ... -
Development of novel tools for cancer diagnosis, prognosis and treatment using intra- or inter-species transcriptome metaanalysis
Shehwana, Huma (Bilkent University, 2017-08)In the past decades, a considerable number of studies have performed meta-analysis on large data collections to prioritize sets of genes, pathways or types/categories of disease focusing on either differential expression, ... -
Functional analysis of co-expression networks of zebrafish ace2 reveals enrichment of pathways associated with development and disease
Keşkuş, Ayşe Gökçe; Tombaz, Melike; Arıcı, Burçin İrem; Dinçaslan, Fatma Betül; Nabi, Afshan; Shehwana, Huma; Konu, Özlen (Canadian Science Publishing, 2022-02-02)Human Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) plays an essential role in blood pressure regulation and SARS-CoV-2 entry. ACE2 has a highly conserved, one-to-one ortholog (ace2) in zebrafish, which is an important model ...
