EXPRESS: Investigation of the synergic effect of mocetinostat and capecitabine in a triple-negative breast neoplasms mouse model.

Combined administration of two or more drugs is emerging as a new strategy in triple negative breast neoplasms. This is the first study to investigate the combination of the histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) mocetinostat and the antimetabolite drug capecitabine in triple-negative mammary neoplasms in a preclinical mouse model. 35 female mice were grouped into the control group, capecitabine group, mocetinostat group, and combine drugs group.

Combined treatment with ruxolitinib and MK-2206 inhibits ERα activity by inhibiting MAPK signaling in BT474 breast cancer cells.

Triple-positive breast cancer (TPBC) is a type of breast cancer that overexpresses estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2). Dysregulation of ER signaling has been implicated in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. ERα activation triggers the production of second messengers, including cAMP, leading to the activation of signals such as PI3K/AKT or Ras/MAPK.

Ruxolitinib-loaded poly-ɛ-caprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles inhibit JAK2/STAT5 signaling in BT474 breast cancer cells by downregulating Bcl-2 and Mcl-1.

Background: JAK/STAT signaling plays an important role in regulating cell proliferation. Reducing proliferation and inducing cell death with gene-specific inhibitors such as ruxolitinib, Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) inhibitor targeting JAK1/2, are therapeutic approaches. The use of nanoparticles can reduce the toxicity and side effects of drugs, as they act directly on cancer cells and can selectively increase drug accumulation in tumor cells.

Research of the unrecognised functions of miR-375 in prostate cancer cells.

Many cancers, including prostate cancer, have miRNAs with altered expression levels. These miRNAs play a pivotal role in regulating cancer initiation, invasion, and metastasis. miRNAs are an important component in cancer diagnosis and therapy and can play a key role as biomarkers or chemotherapeutic agents.

The Relationship among the Performance and the ACE I/D and ACTN3 R577X Polymorphisms and some Anthropometric Factors in Arm Wrestlers.

Sport genetics has become increasingly important in recent years. The concept of performance includes genetic and anthropometric factors. These factors have not been adequately examined when the current literature is examined.

Effects of Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) and Coenzyme Q10 on Mitochondrial Genes, MitomiRs and Cellular Properties in HepG2 Cell Line.

Our study aimed to reveal the effects and changes, antioxidant metabolism (Oxidative Stress), inflammatory response, mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial dysfunction characteristics in hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2; that occur in genes (NRF-1, NRF-2, NFκB and PGC-1α) and miRNAs (miR15-a, miR16-1, miR181-c) that can control related features. To investigate the effects of Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in HepG2, and their effects on cell viability, lateral cell migration, gene expression and miRNA expression levels were investigated. If the data we have obtained are evaluated in terms of anti-cancer effectiveness, the most effective use of CoQ10 can be defined as the use alone rather than the combined use.

Combined treatment with ruxolitinib and MK-2206 inhibits the JAK2/STAT5 and PI3K/AKT pathways via apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line.

Background: Due to deficiencies in the expression of hormone receptors, such as PR, ER and HER2, it is challenging to treat triple-negative breast cancer, which does not respond to single targeted therapy. Ruxolitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK)1/JAK2 inhibitor. MK-2206 is an allosteric AKT inhibitor.

anti-proliferative effect of capecitabine (Xeloda) combined with mocetinostat (MGCD0103) in 4T1 breast cancer cell line by immunoblotting.

Objectives: Mouse breast cancer cell line 4T1 can accurately mimic the response to immune receptors and targeting therapeutic agents. Combined therapy has emerged as an important strategy with reduced side effects and maximum therapeutic effect. Mocetinostat (MGCD0103) is one of the members of Class I Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors (HDACi) and its mechanism of action has not been defined, yet.

Serum Levels of miR-223-3p and miR-223-5p in Prostate Diseases.

Introduction: Prostate Cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in males and the fifth in cancer-associated mortality. Although the Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test is widely used in PCa screenings, it has significant limitations in the differential diagnosis of PCa. Therefore, studies on developing new biomarkers for PCa diagnosis are ongoing.

Prevalence of alpha actinin-3 gene (ACTN3) R577X and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) insertion / deletion gene polymorphisms in national and amateur Turkish athletes.

Studies to date showed the importance of alpha- actinin-3 (ACTN3) R577X and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) ID polymorphisms on determining athletic performance. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to examine polymorphisms given to Turkish athletes and compare them with sedentary individuals. Genomic DNAs were extracted from peripheral blood by using commercially available DNA isolation kit (Macherey-Nagel, NucleoSpin®, Germany).
