Öğe Alcoholic extract of tarantula cubensis induces apoptosis in MCF-7 cell line(Scientific Publishers of India, 2017) Ayse E.R.; Corum O.; Corum D.; Hitit M.; Donmez H.; Guzeloglu A.Tarantula cubensis Alcoholic Extract (TCAE) is a homeopathic agent used for treating many disorders. This study aimed to define the effects of TCAE on the breast carcinoma cell line (MCF-7). After various concentrations (10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 µl/ml) of TCAE were applied to MCF-7 cells and the human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK293), the cells were incubated for 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 and 48 h, followed by analysis by MTT assays. According to the results of the MTT assays, cells treated with 20 or 40 µl/ml TCAE for 6 h were applied to apoptosis analysis by flow cytometry. Secreted levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF?), interleukin (IL)-1?, IL-6, IL-10, Interferon-? (IFN?), Transforming Growth Factor-? (TGF?), and Nuclear Factor-kappa B (NF-?B) were measured using ELISAs. TNF? and TGF? levels increased while IL-6 and IL-10 levels fluctuated in MCF-7 cells. In conclusion, our study suggests that TCAE may change the normal cancer physiology and lead to cell death by activating apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. © 2017, Scientific Publishers of India.

Unbalance between oxidants and antioxidants cause oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the cell. Macrophages phagocytose large pieces of bacteria and synthesize cytokines. In addition to the beneficial results of the drug have side effects. Since changes in biochemical parameters reflect structural dysfunction in the organism, monitoring changes of these parameters is a way to keep track of side effects. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Corynebacterium cutis lysate on serum thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and plasma 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandinF2? (PGM) levels in sheep. Materials, Methods & Results: Six Merino crossbred ewes (aged >2 years, weight 40-60 kg) were used in this study. The procedures were approved by the Ethics Committee. A dose of 8 mg (0.4 mL) of commercial Corynebacterium cutis lysate was subcutaneously injected to each of the 6 Merino crossbred ewes. Blood specimens were taken from the sheep prior to injection (day 0, control) and after the injection on days 1, 2, 3, and 4. The levels of serum TBARS and plasma PGM were determined using an Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) reader. The values of the hemogram [white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), platelets (PLT), hematocrit (HTC), and hemoglobin (HBG)] were assessed using a blood cell count apparatus. The levels of plasma creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and cholesterol were determined on an autoanalyzer. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA and Scheffe's test as a post hoc test (SPSS 19.0). A P < 0.05 value was taken as the cut-offvalue for statistical significance. An increase (P < 0.05) in the levels of plasma PGM and serum cholesterol was detected when compared to the control samples, but there was no statistically significant (P > 0.05) change in the other parameters. Discussion: The Corynebacterium cutis lysate is a commercial product and used in cattle, newborn calves, sheep, and poultry as an immunostimulant against infections and to increase body resistance in times of stress. Corynebacterium cutis lysate increased (P < 0.05) in plasma PGM and serum cholesterol levels compared to the control group. Detailed studies dealing with the effect of Corynebacterium cutis lysate on PGM and TBARS are not available in the literature. There is a balance between oxidants and antioxidants in the organism. Unbalance between oxidants and antioxidants caused by increased production of oxidizing species leads to oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the cells. The levels of TBARS or malondialdehyde are used in order to determine lipid peroxidation. The levels of serum TBARS, malondialdehyde and PGM increased in experimental infection models. Macrophages phagocytose large pieces of bacteria such as Corynebacterium cutis lysate and this case triggers the synthesis of cytokines by macrophages. Cholesterol metabolism may change in infections, and high levels of cholesterol were determined in test subjects after injection of LPS. Lipid metabolism may be affected by stimulants of the immune system, such as Corynebacterium cutis lysate. In conclusion, Corynebacterium cutis lysate has no effect on the oxidative status and number of blood cells and organ (heart, liver and kidney) damage markers in sheep and it may increase plasma PGM level by stimulating the immune system.Öğe Pharmacokinetics of danofloxacin in rainbow trout after different routes of administration(Elsevier B.V., 2020) Terzi E.; Corum O.; Bilen S.; Kenanoglu O.N.; Atik O.; Uney K.The pharmacokinetics of danofloxacin was studied in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after single administration by intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM) and oral (OR) gavage at a dose of 10 mg/kg and by 10 mg/L bath for 2 h at 11.7 ± 0.8 °C. Furthermore, minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of danofloxacin against a pathogenic strain of Yersinia ruckeri, Pseudomonas spp., and Aeromonas hydrophila were determined. Plasma concentrations of danofloxacin were determined using high-performance liquid chromatograph - UV and further subjected to noncompartmental analysis. Elimination half-lives for IV, IM, OR and bath administration were 25.97 h, 42.43 h, 41.04 h and 40.41 h, respectively. Peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) for IM, OR and bath administration were 3.64 ± 0.12, 2.93 ± 0.23, and 0.36 ± 0.02 ?g/mL, respectively. Bioavailability was 105.87% (IM), 96.92% (OR) and 10.09% (bath). MIC values were 0.02 ?g/mL for Y. ruckeri, 3.2 ?g/mL for Pseudomonas spp., and 8 ?g/mL for A. hydrophila at 12 °C. Danofloxacin provides the desired AUC0 – 24/MIC (?125) and Cmax/MIC (?10) values for Y. ruckeri following administration at a dose of 10 mg/kg (L) from all routes administration, whereas inadequate for Pseudomonas spp. and A. hydrophila. This information may help in the use of danofloxacin in rainbow trout, but increasing doses pharmacokinetics with the residue depletion study and clinical studies in infected fish are needed. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
