CTBP1 ve NF2 Gen Ekspresyonlarının Prostat Kanser Hücrelerinde KDM6A/B Aracılı Epigenetik Regülasyonunun İncelenmesi
Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, epigenetik regülatörlerden lizin demetilaz 6A (KDM6A) ve/veya lizin demetilaz 6B’nin (KDM6B) prostat kanseri oluşumu ve progresyonunda rol oynayan C Terminal bağlayıcı protein1 (CTBP1) ve Nörofibromatozis Tip2 (NF2) ekspresyonlarının regülasyonu üzerindeki modüle edici rolünün aydınlatılmasıdır.
Yöntemler: Prostat kanseri metastatik hücreleri LNCaP’lere KDM6 ailesi selektif inhibitörü GSK-J4 uygulanıp, total RNA izolasyonu ve cDNA sentezi yapılarak; CTBP1 ve NF2 mRNA düzeylerindeki değişiklikler reverse transcription-quantitative real time PCR (RT-qPCR) ile gösterilmiştir. Saptanan değişikliklerin transkripsiyonel inhibisyondan kaynaklanıp kaynaklanmadığını araştırmak üzere CTBP1 ve NF2 pre-spliced mRNA düzeylerindeki değişiklikler RT-qPCR ile ölçülmüştür. KDM6A ve/veya KDM6B’nin (KDM6A/B) small interfering RNA (siRNA) aracılı susturulduğu hücrelerde CTBP1 ve NF2 mRNA düzeylerindeki değişiklikler RT-qPCR ile gösterilerek bu genlerin KDM6 enzimlerinin hangisi tarafından regüle edildiği belirlenmiştir.
Bulgular: CTBP1 ve NF2 rölatif mRNA düzeyleri GSK-J4 ile %45 ve %49 azalmıştır. Saptanan azalmaların CTBP1 ve NF2 mRNA ekspresyonlarının GSK-J4 tarafından transkripsiyonel baskılanmasıyla ilişkili olup olmadığını belirlemek üzere yapılan RT-qPCR deneylerinde CTBP1 ve NF2 pre-spliced mRNA düzeyleri de %43, %29 azalmıştır. GSK-J4’ün KDM6 ailesine selektif bir inhibitör olması nedeniyle CTBP1 ve NF2 mRNA ekspresyonlarının hangi KDM6 enzimi tarafından kontrol edildiğini belirlemek amacıyla KDM6A ve/veya KDM6B susturulduğunda; KDM6A ve KDM6B dual inhibisyonunda CTBP1 ve NF2 mRNA düzeyleri %56, %39 azalmıştır.
Sonuç: Özetle; GSK-J4 uygulanmasıyla CTBP1 ve NF2 mRNA düzeylerinde saptadığımız azalmaların transkripsiyondaki değişiklikten kaynaklandığı pre-spliced mRNA verilerimizle güçlü bir şekilde desteklenmiştir. KDM6A ve KDM6B’nin her ikisinin de CTBP1 ve NF2 ekspresyonlarının prostat kanserindeki regülasyonunda kontrol edici rollerinin olduğunun gösterilmesi; terapötik olarak hedeflenebilecek, KDM6A ve KDM6B aracılığıyla CTBP1 ve NF2 ekspresyonlarını modüle eden yeni bir mekanizmanın aydınlatılmasına katkı sağlayabilir.
The Measurement of Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin in Umbilical Cord Blood and the Assessment of Its Relationship with Neonatal Results
Objectives: In this study, the relationship of cord blood Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) with neonatal diseases was investigated.
Methods: NGAL levels were measured in the cord blood of 180 babies born between 2015 and 2016. Patients were classified according to maternal diseases, neonatal diseases and demographic characteristics. Obtained data were compared with cord blood NGAL levels.
Results: In our study, the mean NGAL levels were 1283.99 ng/mL in boys and 1306.52 ng/mL in girls. Umbilical cord blood NGAL levels of infants diagnosed with intrauterine growth retardation (1913.4±2833.5 ng/mL) and prolonged premature rupture of membranes (2594.2±2037.1 ng/mL) were found to be statistically high (p0.05).
Conclusions: Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin, may be useful as a diagnostic biomarker in the evaluation of maternal and neonatal diseases. However, studies on larger patient populations are needed.
