    Protective Effects of Taurine Against Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats by Inhibition of Gelatinases, Mmp-2 and Mmp-9, and P38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Signaling
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2017-09-12) Cavdar, Z.; Ural, C.; Celik, A.; Arslan, S.; Terzioglu, G.; Ozbal, S.; Yildiz, S.; Akdoğan, Gül
    Dysregulated expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is closely associated with the pathogenesis of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R). The production of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes tissue damage. Increased ROS production causes activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling, which participates in gene regulation of MMPs, especially MMP-2 and MMP-9 (gelatinases). Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) in mammalian cells functions in bile acid conjugation, maintenance of calcium homeostasis, osmoregulation, membrane stabilization, and antioxidation, antiinflammatory, and antiapoptotic action. We investigated the effects of taurine and the possible role of p38 MAPK signaling on regulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in a renal I/R injury model in rats. Rats were divided into three groups: sham, I/R, and I/R + taurine treated. After a right nephrectomy, I/R was induced by clamping the left renal pedicle for 1 h followed by 6 h reperfusion. Taurine was administered 45 min prior to induction of ischemia. Renal function was assessed by serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. Tubule injury and structural changes were evaluated by light microscopy. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity levels were measured using a colorimetric kit. mRNA expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities were measured using a fluorimetric kit. Phosphorylated p38 (p-p38) and total p38 MAPK protein expressions were evaluated by western blot. Taurine pretreatment significantly attenuated renal dysfunction and histologic damage, such as renal tubule dilation and loss of brush borders. The pretreatment also decreased the MDA level and attenuated the reduction of SOD activity in the kidney during I/R. Taurine pretreatment also decreased significantly both MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA expression and MMP-9 activity induced by I/R. In addition, the activity of p38 MAPK signaling was down-regulated significantly by taurine administration. Inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression and MMP-9 activity caused by taurine may be associated with suppression of p38 MAPK activation during I/R induced renal injury in rats. Therefore, taurine administration may prove to be a strategy for attenuating renal I/R injury.

    İnsan Primer Fibroblast Hücre Kültür Karakterizasyonu İçin Biyosensör Geliştirilmesi
    (2021) Akdoğan, Gül; Demirdover, Cenk; Uygun, Zihni Onur; Sağın, Ferhan Girgin
    Hücre Kültürü, deneysel çalışmaların vazgeçilmez araçlarından biridir. Üç boyutlu organizmanın doğrudan kullanılamadığı pek çok deneysel çalışmanın uygulanabilir modeli olarak tercih edilmektedir. Herhangi bir doku parçası mekanik ya da enzimatik yollarla belirli hücreler elde etmek için kültüre edilebilir. Bu kültür işlerinin inceliklerinin yanında, primer kültürlerde ayrıca dikkat edilmesi gereken en önemli nokta, heterojen bir hücre topluluğunun içinden kendi ilgilendiğimiz hücre topluluğunun karakterizasyonunu yaparak deneylere bu hücreler üzerinden devam edebilmektir. Bu projede, ticari olarak elde edilebilen hücre hattının, ya da stabil ve kanıtlanmış bir deney hayvanı modelinin bulunmadığı durumlarda sıklıkla tercih edilen ve insandan doğrudan elde edilen primer kültürler üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu projenin amacı; çeşitli dokulardan elde edilen primer fibroblast hücre kültürlerinin karakterizasyonu için fibroblast biyobelirteci olarak bilinen ısı şok proteini 47 (HSP47) proteinini tanıyan bir biyosensör geliştirilmesinin sağlanmasıdır. Biyosensörler, analit ve biyoaktif molekül ilişkisine dayalı olarak geliştirilen ucuz, güvenilir ve hızlı ölçüm sistemleridir. HSP47 biyosensörünün geliştirilmesi için, spesifik moleküller olan antikorların, dönüştürücü yüzeyinin modifikasyonundan sonra yüzeye immobilize edilmesi ve bundan sonra da HSP-47 molekülü ile antikor arasındaki afiniteye bağlı olarak yüzeyin elektrokimyasal olarak incelenmesi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bunun için altın nanopartikül elektrotlar kullanılmış ve grafen oksit ile modifiye edilmişlerdir. Biyosensörün performansı hem standartlarda hem de hücrelerde test edilmiştir. Biyosensörün düşük tespit limiti (LOD) ve lineer tespit limiti (LOQ) sırasıyla 0,06 ng/mL ve 0,183 ng/mL olarak hesaplandı. Doğrusal ölçüm aralığı 10-160 pg/mL arasında elde edildi. Böylece literatürde ilk kez HSP47?nin primer fibroblast kültürlerinde belirlenmesi için impedimetrik bir biyosensör geliştirilmiş oldu.

    Sa 8000 Standardının Hasta Güvenliğiyle İlişkisi
    (İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2021) İpek, Burcu; Akdoğan, Gül; Tütüncü, Özkan
    İşletmeler dinamik yapıdaki kurum ve kuruluşlar oldukları için her geçen gün değişmekte ve bu değişime ayak uydurarak ayakta kalabilmektedirler. Bu değişim sürecini etkin şekilde kontrol eden mekanizma kalite standartlarıdır. Kalite standartları, işletmelerin rekabet ortamındaki konumlarını ele alırken aynı zamanda toplumdaki varlıklarını geliştirmek ve iyi bir hizmet sunmak adına da işletmeleri sosyal, toplumsal, üretim biçimi vb. ölçütlerde düzenleme gayesi güderler. Bu gaye doğrultusunda oluşturulan standartlardan biri de SA 8000 standardıdır. CEPAA tarafından 1997 senesinde oluşturulan bu standart, işletmelere ilişkin etik değerlendirmeler getirmesi yönüyle diğer standartlardan ayrılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada SA 8000 standardı, sağlık kuruluşlarındaki rolüyle ele alınmış ve hasta güvenliğiyle ilişkisi sorgulanmıştır. Bu kapsamda çalışmada Türkiye'de 2020 senesine değin hazırlanan Yüksek Lisans çalışmalar değerlendirilmiş; sağlıkta kalite, hasta güvenliği, sosyal sorumluluk ve SA 8000 anahtar kelimelerinden yola çıkarak yapılan bibliyometrik analiz ile birlikte SA 8000'in hasta güvenliğiyle ilişkisi değerlendirilmiştir.

    Relationship of Wnt Pathway Activity and Organ Involvement in Scleroderma Types
    (Wiley, 2020-09-30) Kocak, Ayse; Harmancı, Duygu; Akdoğan, Gül; Birlik, Merih; Güner Akdoğan, Gül
    Objective Scleroderma (SSc) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis in the skin and internal organs. In SSc, the heart, lung, kidney, gastrointestinal (GIS) system, muscle, and peri-articular structures are damaged. There is no study of the relationship between SSc type, stage, pathogenesis, organ involvement, and Wnt signaling. In this study, we aimed to show the relationship of the Wnt gene family and antagonists in SSc subtypes and different organ involvement. Methods Eighty-five SSc patients and 77 controls were included in this study. The gene expressions and protein levels of the Wnt family and antagonists were analyzed from blood samples. The relationship between these parameters and disease stage, type, and organ involvement were evaluated. Results Wnt-1, Wnt-10b, Wnt-2, and Wnt-6 gene expressions are increased and Axin-2, DKK-1, and Kremen protein expressions are decreased in SSc. Wnt-3a and Wnt-10a gene expressions are increased in generalized SSc compared to limited SSc. Wnt-1, Wnt-2 gene expressions are increased significantly in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)(+) SSc compared to PAH(-) SSc. There was a positive correlation between the modified Rodnan skin score and Wnt-2 in SSc. There was a significant positive correlation between GIS involvement score and Wnt-1, Wnt-2, Wnt-4, Wnt-8a, Wnt-9b in SSc. Conclusion Wnt-1 and Wnt-2 were found higher in scleroderma and organ involvement. They may play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

    (Elsevier Taiwan, 2017-10) Sayin, Oya; Micili, Serap Cilaker; Goker, Asli; Kamaci, Gonca; Ergur, Bekir Ugur; Yilmaz, Osman; Akdoğan, Gül
    Objective: Healing of the uterus after cesarean section and myomectomy operation is clinically important. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of resveratrol (3,5,4'-o-trihydroxystilbene) on the wound healing process of the uterus in rats treated with resveratrol following full thickness injury of the uterus. Materials and methods: Twenty-one female wistar albino rats were divided randomly into three groups (1) control group with no intervention (2) injury group with uterine full thickness injury (3) resveratrol group with uterine full thickness injury and treated with resveratrol. Resveratrol was injected by oral gavage at the doses of 0.5 mg/kg/day for 30 days following uterine full thickness injury. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) distributions were assessed using the immunohistochemical methods in tissue and ELISA methods in the tissue homogenate. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were evaluated with colorimetric method and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels also were measured using high performance liquid chromatography in the tissue homogenate. The effects of resveratrol on the uterine histology also were evaluated histologically with the light microscopy. Results: Histological evaluation and immunohistochemical evaluations showed that treatment with a resveratrol significantly increased the thickness of the uterine wall and VEGF expression and decreased expression PDGF during wound healing. Biochemically, GPx and SOD activities were increased significantly after treatment with resveratrol. Additionally, resveratrol administration decreased MDA levels. Conclusion: These results showed that the antioxidant effects of resveratrol has been shown to have a positive influence on wound healing of the uterus.
