An investigation of microRNAs mapping to breast cancer related genomic gain and loss regions

Selcuklu, S. D.; Yakicier, M. C.; Erson, A. E. (Elsevier, 2009)

Various regions of amplification or loss are observed in breast tumors as a manifestation of genomic instability. To date, numerous oncogenes or tumor suppressors on some of these regions have been characterized. An ...

Evidence from autoimmune thyroiditis of skewed X-chromosome inactivation in female predisposition to autoimmunity

Ozcelik, T.; Uz, E.; Akyerli, C. B.; Bagislar, S.; Mustafa, C. A.; Gursoy, A.; Akarsu, N.; Toruner, G.; Kamel, N.; Gullu, S. (Nature Publishing Group, 2006)

The etiologic factors in the development of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are not fully understood. We investigated the role of skewed X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) mosaicism in female predisposition to AITDs. One ...

Endothelial progenitor cells display clonal restriction in multiple myeloma

Braunstein, M.; Özçelik, T.; Baǧişlar, S.; Vakil, V.; Smith, E. L. P.; Dai, K.; Akyerli, C. B.; Batuman O. A. (BioMed Central Ltd., 2006)

Background: In multiple myeloma (MM), increased neoangiogenesis contributes to tumor growth and disease progression. Increased levels of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contribute to neoangiogenesis in MM, and, ...

MEFV gene is a probable susceptibility gene for Behçet's disease

Imirzalıoglu, N.; Dursun, A.; Tastan, B.; Soysal, Y.; Yakıcıer, M. C. (Taylor & Francis, 2005)

Objective: Behçet's disease (BD) is a rare, chronic, multisystem inflammatory disorder. The prevalence of BD is higher in the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean populations. Another chronic inflammatory disease, familial ...

Enhanced immunostimulatory activity of cyclic dinucleotides on mouse cells when complexed with a cell-penetrating peptide or combined with CpG

Yildiz, S.; Alpdundar, E.; Gungor, B.; Kahraman, T.; Bayyurt, B.; Gursel, I.; Gursel, M. (Wiley - V C H Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2015)

Recognition of pathogen-derived nucleic acids by immune cells is critical for the activation of protective innate immune responses. Bacterial cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are small nucleic acids that are directly recognized ...

Skewed X chromosome inactivation in blood cells of women with scleroderma

Özbalkan, Z.; Baǧişlar, S.; Kiraz, S.; Akyerli, C. B.; Özer H. T. E.; Yavuz, Ş.; Birlik, A. M.; Çalgüneri, M.; Özçelik, T. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2005)

Objective. Scleroderma (SSc) is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. The disease is 3-8 times more frequent in women than in men. The role of X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in the predisposition of women to autoimmunity ...

Regulation of Homer and group I metabotropic glutamate receptors by nicotine

Kane, J. K.; Hwang, Y.; Konu, O.; Loughlin, S. E.; Leslie, F. M.; Li, M. D. (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2005)

The present study focuses on the nicotine-induced modulation of mRNA and protein expression of a number of genes involved in glutamatergic synaptic transmission in rat brain over different time periods of exposure. A ...

Expression of IFITM1 in chronic myeloid leukemia patients

Akyerli, C. B.; Beksac, M.; Holko, M.; Frevel, M.; Dalva, K.; Özbek, U.; Soydan, E.; Özcan, M.; Özet, G.; İlhan, O.; Gürman, G.; Akan, H.; Williams, B. R. G.; Özçelik, T. (Elsevier, 2005)

We investigated the peripheral blood gene expression profile of interferon induced transmembrane protein 1 (IFITM1) in sixty chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients classified according to new prognostic score (NPS). IFITM1 ...

MDM2 T309G polymorphism is associated with bladder cancer

Onat, O. E.; Tez, M.; Özçelik, T.; Törüner, G. A. (International Institute of Anticancer Research, 2006)

Recently, a functional T to G polymorphism at nucleotide 309 in the promoter region of the MDM2 gene (rs: 2279744, SNP 309) has been identified. This polymorphism has an impact on the expression of the MDM2 gene, which is ...

Extremely skewed X-chromosome inactivation patterns in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion

Bagislar, S.; Ustuner, I.; Cengiz, B.; Soylemez, F.; Akyerli, C. B.; Ceylaner, S.; Ceylaner, G.; Acar, A.; Ozcelik, T. (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Asia, 2006)

Background: The role of extremely skewed X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) has been questioned in the pathogenesis of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) but the results obtained were conflicting. Aims: We therefore ...
