Investigation of resistance mechanisms in response to PIK3CA inhibition in breast cancer
(Bilkent University, 2020-12)
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer type, accounting for 25% of
total cancer cases. PI3K pathway is the most deregulated pathway in breast cancer.
Therefore, many inhibitors have been developed for ...
Deciphering IKBKE involvement in hepatocellular cancer HEPG2 cells
(Bilkent University, 2020-06)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. The reasons behind high mortality in HCC patients include late diagnosis and lack of therapeutic option. Sorafenib is the only ...
Identifying TBK1-specific roles in colorectal cancer
(Bilkent University, 2022-06)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most lethal cancer type, with a high incidence rate among adults. The CRC is a highly heterogenic disease with a high rate of mutations in different molecular pathways. Moreover, ...
Identification of long non-coding RNAs overcoming tamoxifen resistance in estrogen receptor alpha positive breast cancer
(Bilkent University, 2017-09)
Most of the breast cancer incidences all over the world fall into Estrogen Receptor alpha
(ERα)-positive breast cancer subtype, which are treated with endocrine therapy. Tamoxifen, a
selective ER modulator drug, is the ...
Functional analysis of Erbin gene in breast cancer drug resistance
(Bilkent University, 2021-02)
Erbin is an ERBB2 interacting protein with roles in many signaling pathways. Breast cancer is one of the types of cancer that is affected by Erbin regulation. However, it is unclear how Erbin regulates the biological ...
Elucidating the mechanisms of T-DM1 resistance in in vitro models of HER2 overexpressing breast cancer
(Bilkent University, 2016-09)
Despite the presence of plethora of anti-cancer therapeutics with a variety of different mechanisms of action, it is still not possible to completely eradicate cancer due largely to the occurrence of refractory tumors even ...
Investigation of PI3K functional compensation VIA activated tyrosine kinases
(Bilkent University, 2020-12)
Protein tyrosine kinases and serine-threonine kinases have crucial functions in cell
signaling, differentiation, motility, and proliferation. PI3K is the most deregulated
pathway in human cancers and an essential regulator ...
