    Continuous insulin therapy versus apheresis in patients with hypertriglyceridemia-associated pancreatitis
    (2022) Araz, Filiz; Bakiner, Okan Sefa; Bagir, Gulay Simsek; Soydas, Baris; Ozer, Birol; Kozanoglu, Ilknur; 0000-0003-0780-5680; 0000-0002-5268-1210; 33323759; AAJ-9184-2021; AAE-1241-2021
    Background The optimal treatment modality for lowering the triglyceride level in patients with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG)-associated acute pancreatitis is unknown. We evaluated the efficacy of continuous insulin infusion and apheresis procedures as triglyceride-lowering therapy. Materials and methods Clinical, demographic, and laboratory data were retrospectively evaluated for patients with HTG-associated pancreatitis who received continuous insulin infusion or apheresis in a single tertiary center. The endpoints were modality effectiveness and clinical outcomes. Results The study included 48 patients (mean age, 40.4 +/- 9.9 years). Apheresis and insulin infusion were performed in 19 and 29 patients, respectively, in the first 24 h of hospital admission. Apheresis procedures included therapeutic plasma exchange in 10 patients and double filtration plasmapheresis in nine patients. Baseline mean triglyceride level was higher in the apheresis group. The two groups were similar in terms of other baseline clinical and demographic characteristics. Seventeen patients (58.6%) in the insulin group and nine patients (47.4%) in the apheresis group exhibited Balthazar grades D-E. There was a rapid reduction (78.5%) in triglyceride level after the first session of apheresis. Insulin infusion resulted in a 44.4% reduction in mean triglyceride level in the first 24 h. The durations of fasting and hospital stay, and the rates of respiratory failure and hypotension, were similar between groups. More patients in the apheresis group experienced acute renal failure or altered mental status. Prognosis did not significantly differ between groups. Conclusion Although apheresis treatments are safe and effective, they provided no clear benefit over insulin infusion for HTG-associated pancreatitis.

    Extracorporeal Photopheresis In The Treatment Of Acute And Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease: A Position Statement From The Turkish Society Of Apheresis (TSA)
    (2022) Kaynar, Leylagul; Tekgunduz, Emre; Kozanoglu, Ilknur; Ozkan, Hasan Atilla; Aksu, Salih; Ozkalemkas, Fahir; Demirkan, Fatih; 35123893; GXH-4007-2022
    Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is still the most important cause of mortality and morbidity after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Though perfect response rates are not achieved, steroids are still the first-line treat-ment. In the face of the presence of the drugs approved by FDA in recent years for acute and chronic GVHD as second-line therapy in the steroid-refractory group, there exists no standard approach. Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) with an immunomodulatory effect, is favored in the treatment of both acute and chronic steroid refractory GVHD as it does not increase the risk of relapses or infections. Having a low profile of side effects, ECP is also generally well-tolerated by patients. Being a time requiring procedure, the fact is that it is not able to be practiced in all health centers and requires central venous catheters in patients unfit for venous access may be enumerated among its shortcomings. No complete standard is available with respect to ECP application frequency-time; it varies from one center to another. The Turkish Society of Apheresis established the Turkish ECP (TECP) group and sought some answers to the questions regarding the use of ECP in the treatment of GVHD, and issued a position statement.

    Role Of Automated Red Blood Cell Exchange In The Treatment Of Aluminum Phosphide Poisoning: A Case Report And Review Of The Literature
    (2022) Ozkale, Murat; Ozkale, Yasemin; Kozanoglu, Ilknur; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5268-1210; 35104018; AAE-1241-2021
    Aluminum phosphide (AIP) is a fumigant commonly used in agricultural areas. AIP is frequently misused for suicidal purposes because it is easily accessible. AIP poisoning causes severe metabolic acidosis, resistant hypotension, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and multiorgan failure with cardiogenic shock. Despite supportive management and intensive care, most patients die following AIP ingestion because there is no specific antidote. In this case report we present a 15-year-old female who presented with vomiting, coma and epigastric pain. She developed resistant metabolic acidosis and hypotension due to AIP poisoning. Although supportive treatment did not result in clinical improvement, she was successfully treated with automated red blood cell exchange. Automated red blood cell exchange is a procedure which is used to exchange the patient erythrocyte mass with donor red blood cell. Although automated red blood cell exchange is a preferred treatment method in the complications of sickle cell anemia, some blood diseases and infectious diseases such as malaria and babesiosis, there is little information about its use in poisoning. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first child with AIP poisoning who was treated with automated red blood cell exchange.

    Adrenergic receptor behaviors of mesenchymal stem cells obtained from different tissue sources and the effect of the receptor blockade on differentiation
    (2021) Maytalman, Erkan; Alizadeh Yegani, Arash; Kozanoglu, Ilknur; Aksu, Fazilet; 0000-0002-5268-1210; 34323168; AAE-1241-2021
    In this study, it was aimed to analyze behavioral changes of adrenergic receptors (ARs) in first three passages and osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from placenta fetal membrane (FM) and bone marrow (BM). It was also aimed to evaluate effects of receptor blockade on differentiation. We obtained first three passages of MSCs from placenta and BM samples. For cell identification, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry using CD34, CD45 and CD3, CD105 antibodies in each passage. The effects of propranolol and phenoxybenzamine at incremental doses were analyzed by MTT. In addition, cell cultures were separately maintained with the blockers or without after second passage. After each passage and differentiation, alpha 1A, alpha 1B, alpha 2A, alpha 2B, beta 1, beta 2, beta 3 AR-mRNA expressions analyzed by RT-qPCR technique. BMP6 and PPARG mRNA expressions only after differentiation and passage 3 were analyzed. A microscopic examination was also performed. Our results showed that AR expression behaviors were different in MSCs obtained from different tissue sources. In particular, alpha(1A)-AR and alpha(2A)-AR were expressed with considerably high coefficients in differentiation under blocker effect in BM-derived MSCs. No such coefficients were observed in any group of placental MSCs. In addition, it was found that the blockers stimulated adipogenesis in BM-derived MSCs during osteogenic differentiation. MSCs exhibit protein expressions that vary according to source of tissue and differentiation. Given that MSCs from different sources are used for repair and modulation, our study makes implications of this variable expression intriguing in the clinical practice.

    Biological behaviors of muscarinic receptors in mesenchymal stem cells derived from human placenta and bone marrow
    (2020) Yegani, Arash Alizadeh; Maytalman, Erkan; Kozanoglu, Ilknur; Terzi, Menderes Yusuf; Aksu, Fazilet; 0000-0002-5268-1210; 32405354; AAE-1241-2021
    Objective(s): Cells perform their functional activities by communicating with each other through endogenous substances and receptors. Post-translation, stem cells function properly in new host tissue by carrying specific cell surface receptors. We aimed to characterize muscarinic receptor subtypes in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) together with osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation markers. Materials and Methods: mRNA levels of 5 muscarinic receptor subtypes (CHRM1 to 5), BMP-6, and PPAR gamma during osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, under the effect of atropine blockade, were measured in MSCs obtained from human fetal membrane (FM) and bone marrow (BM). Additionally, the effect of atropine on differentiation in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd passages of MSCs, obtained from human FM and BM, were analyzed by RT-qPCR. Results: CHRM1 mRNA levels increased in the FM group, while decreasing in the BM group. We found significant decreases in CHRM3 and CHRM5 mRNA levels in FM and BM groups, respectively. Atropine had variable effects based on cell source and receptor type. BMP-6 mRNA levels in differentiated osteogenic cells increased significantly compared to undifferentiated cells in both FM and BM groups. In MSCs derived from both sources, PPAR gamma mRNA levels in differentiated adipogenic cells increased significantly. Atropine showed no effect on MSCs differentiation. Conclusion: These results indicate that expressions of muscarinic receptors in MSCs derived from BM and FM can vary and these cells keep the potential of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation in vitro. Besides, atropine had no effect on adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs.

    Significance of Lymphocyte Count, Monocyte Count, and Lymphocyte-To-Monocyte Ratio in Predicting Molecular Response in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: a Single-Centre Experience
    (2020) Pepedil-Tanrikulu, Funda; Buyukkurt, Nurhilal; Korur, Asli; Sariturk, Cagla; Aytan, Pelin; Boga, Can; Ozdogu, Hakan; Kozanoglu, Ilknur; 0000-0002-5268-1210; 0000-0002-0895-4787; 0000-0002-8902-1283; 0000-0002-5086-5593; 0000-0002-9680-1958; 32162884; AAE-1241-2021; AAD-6222-2021; AAE-1457-2021; AAD-5542-2021; AAD-5616-2021
    Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a disease resulting from BCR-ABL gene fusion. It is possible to monitor treatment by molecular testing for BCR-ABL. The lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) is a commonly used marker associated with prognosis in various neoplasms. This study was performed to evaluate the relevance of absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), absolute monocyte count (AMC), and LMR in predicting molecular response status in patients with chronic phase CML. Methods: Samples submitted to our hematology laboratory for BCR-ABL testing between April 2012 and October 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Concurrent hemogram testing together with the results of quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction were noted. Data were grouped according to molecular response status and the ALC, AMC, and LMR were compared among patient groups. Results: A total of 224 samples from 95 patients were included in the study. Analysis revealed differences between groups when newly diagnosed patients were compared with patients undergoing treatment, regardless of response status. However, analyzing the groups according to molecular response status failed to reveal differences in ALC, AMC, or LMR. Conclusions: ALC, AMC, and LMR are not potential biomarkers for predicting molecular response status in patients with chronic phase CML.

    (2020) Baran, Safak Yilmaz; Kozanoglu, Ilknur; Korur, Asli; Durdag, Gulsen Dogan; Kalayaci, Hakan; Alemdaroglu, Songul; Asma, Suheyl; Kilicdag, Esra Bulgan; Boga, Can; 0000-0002-0942-9108; 0000-0002-5086-5593; 0000-0002-5268-1210; 0000-0003-4335-6659; 0000-0001-5335-7976; 0000-0002-5064-5267; 0000-0002-8902-1283; 0000-0001-5874-7324; 0000-0002-9680-1958; 32797735; ABF-6439-2020; AAK-8872-2021; AAD-5616-2021; AAD-6222-2021; AAE-1241-2021; AAI-8400-2021; AAI-7831-2021; AAI-9594-2021; AAD-5542-2021
    Background and Aim The incidence of fetomaternal complications during pregnancy is high for women with sickle cell disease (SCD), which is the most common hematologic genetic disorder worldwide. Prophylactic red blood cell exchange (pRBCX) has been shown to be efficient, safe, and feasible for preventing complications. The aim of this study was to observe maternal, perinatal, and neonatal outcomes of pregnancies in which pRBCX was. Method This was a single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study, which recruited 46 consecutive adult pregnant women with SCD between January 2012 and June 2019. Obstetric features, SCD-related complications, and fetomaternal outcomes were compared between the 27 patients who received prophylactic exchange and the 19 who did not (therapeutic exchange was performed in 7 and was not performed in 12 cases). Results Painful crises, preeclampsia, and preterm birth rates were significantly higher in the group that did not receive prophylactic exchange (control group;P= .001,P= .024, andP= .027, respectively). There was one maternal mortality in the control group (P= .41). Incidence of adverse fetal or maternal complications was significantly higher in the control group (P= .044 andP= .007, respectively). Conclusions Our center's experience over a 7.5-year period, as described above, demonstrates that pRBCX in SCD affects the course of pregnancy positively by ameliorating negative fetomaternal outcomes.

    RAB25 confers resistance to chemotherapy by altering mitochondrial apoptosis signaling in ovarian cancer cells
    (2020) Temel, Sehime Gulsun; Giray, Asli; Karaka, Bahriye; Gul, Ozgur; Kozanoglu, Ilknur; Celik, Husnu; Basaga, Huveyda; Acikbas, Ufuk; Sucularli, Ceren; Oztop, Sidika; Aka, Yeliz; Kutuk, Ozgur; 0000-0001-5653-6080; 0000-0001-9854-7220; 0000-0002-5268-1210; 32901335; AAJ-7911-2020; AAH-1671-2019; AAE-1241-2021
    Ovarian cancer remains one of the most frequent causes of cancer-related death in women. Many patients with ovarian cancer suffer from de novo or acquired resistance to chemotherapy. Here, we report that RAB25 suppresses chemotherapy-induced mitochondrial apoptosis signaling in ovarian cancer cell lines and primary ovarian cancer cells. RAB25 blocks chemotherapy-induced apoptosis upstream of mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization by either increasing antiapoptotic BCL-2 proteins or decreasing proapoptotic BCL-2 proteins. In particular, BAX expression negatively correlates with RAB25 expression in ovarian cancer cells. BH3 profiling assays corroborated that RAB25 decreases mitochondrial cell death priming. Suppressing RAB25 by means of RNAi or RFP14 inhibitory hydrocarbon-stapled peptide sensitizes ovarian cancer cells to chemotherapy as well as RAB25-mediated proliferation, invasion and migration. Our data suggest that RAB25 is a potential therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.
