    A novel β-lactam-aminoglycoside combination in veterinary medicine: The couse of ceftiofur and gentamicin to combat resistant Escherichia coli
    (Hellenic Veterinary Medical Society, 2020-04-01) Cengiz, M.; Şahintürk, P.; Hepbostancı, G.; Akalın, H.; Sonal, S.; CENGİZ, MURAT; ŞAHİNTÜRK, SERDAR; AKALIN, EMİN HALİS; SONAL, SONGÜL; HEPBOSTANCI, G.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü.; 0000-0001-7530-1279; AAU-8952-2020; ABE-5935-2020
    The focus of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ceftiofur+gentamicin combination to increase the success of antimicrobial inhibition against resistant Escherichia coli (E.coli) strains isolated from animals. Interaction between drugs was determined using checkerboard method and the fractional inhibitory concentration index was interpreted as synergism, antagonism and indifference. The combination was defined as bactericidal or bacteriostatic based on the minimum bactericidal test results. Mutant prevention concentration test was used to evaluate the resistance tendency suppression potential of the combination. The synergistic effect was detected for all E. coli strains by the checkerboard method; even the strains that were resistant to the individual compounds in the combination. Based on the results of minimum bactericidal concentration test, the combination exhibited bactericidal effect against all E. coli strains. In addition, the individual mutant prevention concentrations of ceftiofur and gentamicin decreased up to 125-fold by using the combination for the inhibition of resistant E. coli strains. The results indicated that killing potential of co-use of the compounds is much stronger than their individual use. The combination achieved to decrease the mutant prevention concentrations and this can reduce the risk of emergence of single mutations during treatment done with suggested doses.

    Physiological role of K+ channels in irisin-induced vasodilation in rat thoracic aorta
    (Elsevier Science, 2022-01) Demirel, Sadettin; Şahinturk, Serdar; İşbil, Naciye; Özyener, Fadıl; DEMİREL, SADETTİN; ŞAHİNTÜRK, SERDAR; İŞBİL, NACİYE; ÖZYENER, FADIL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Fizyoloji Bölümü; 0000-0002-7612-0055; 0000-0002-4606-6596; 0000-0002-3629-5344; JAQ-7571-2023; ACQ-9887-2022; FBW-7104-2022; AAH-1641-2021
    Irisin, an exercise-induced myokine, has been shown to have a peripheral vasodilator effect. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying its effects. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the vasoactive effects of irisin on rat thoracic aorta, and the hypothesis that voltage-gated potassium (KV) channels, ATPsensitive potassium (KATP) channels, small-conductance calcium-activated potassium (SKCa) channels, largeconductance calcium-activated potassium (BKCa) channels, intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium (IKCa) channels, inward rectifier potassium (Kir) channels, and two-pore domain potassium (K2P) channels may have roles in these effects. Isometric contraction-relaxation responses of isolated thoracic aorta rings were measured with an organ bath model. The steady contraction was induced with both 10-5 M phenylephrine and 45 mM KCl, and then the concentration-dependent responses of irisin (10-9-10-6 M) were examined. Irisin exerted the vasorelaxant effects in both endothelium-intact and -denuded aortic rings at concentrations of 10-8, 10-7, and 10-6 M (p < 0.001). Besides, KV channel blocker 4-aminopyridine, KATP channel blocker glibenclamide, SKCa channel blocker apamin, BKCa channel blockers tetraethylammonium and iberiotoxin, IKCa channel blocker TRAM-34, and Kir channel blocker barium chloride incubations significantly inhibited the irisin-induced relaxation responses. However, incubation of K2P TASK-1 channel blocker anandamide did not cause a significant decrease in the relaxation responses of irisin. In conclusion, the first physiological findings were obtained regarding the functional relaxing effects of irisin in rat thoracic aorta. Furthermore, this study is the first to report that irisin-induced relaxation responses are associated with the activity of KV, KATP, SKCa, BKCa, IKCa, and Kir channels.

    [Pyr1]apelin-13 relaxes the rat thoracic aorta via APJ, NO, AMPK, and potassium channels
    (Aepress Sro, 2021-01-01) Şahintürk, Serdar; Demirel, Sadettin; Özyener, Fadıl; İşbil, Naciye; ŞAHİNTÜRK, SERDAR; DEMİREL, SADETTİN; ÖZYENER, FADIL; İŞBİL, NACİYE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Fizyoloji Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0002-7612-0055; 0000-0002-3629-5344; 0000-0002-4606-6596; AAH-3460-2021; ACQ-9887-2022; AAH-1641-2021; FBW-7104-2022
    In this study, the effect and effect mechanisms of [Pyr1]apelin-13, the dominant apelin isoform in the human cardiovascular tissues and human plasma, on vascular contractility were investigated. The vascular rings obtained from the thoracic aortas of the male Wistar Albino rats were placed in the isolated tissue bath system. After the equilibration period, [Pyr1]apelin-13 (10(-9) to 10(-6) M) was applied cumulatively to the aortic rings pre-contracted with phenylephrine in the plateau phase. The protocol was repeated in the presence of specific signaling pathway inhibitors (F13A, L-NAME, dorsomorphin, TEA, U0126, or indomethacin) to determine the effect mechanisms of [Pyr1]apelin-13. [Pyr1]apelin-13 induced a dose-dependent relaxation in the pre-contracted aortic rings. APJ, eNOS, AMPK, and potassium channel inhibition statistically significantly decreased the vasodilator effect of [Pyr1]apelin-13. MAPK and COX inhibition didn't statistically significantly changed the vasodilator effect of [Pyr1]apelin-13. In conclusion, [Pyr1]apelin-13 relaxes the rat thoracic aorta via APJ, NO, AMPK, and potassium channels.

    The renin-angiotensin system contributes to cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation in the bone marrow. We investigated the role of the ACE I/D gene polymorphism in 108 polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocytosis (ET) patients who were positive for the JAK2V617F mutation, with a thrombosis group (TG) of 95 patients who had a history of vascular events, but did not have a history of myeloproliferative neoplasms and compared these to a healthy control group (CG) of 72 subjects. In the patients, II genotype and I allele frequency (p=0.009, odds ratio [OR]=9.716, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.242-76.00, p=0.004, OR=2.019, 95% CI=1.243-3.280, respectively) were found to be higher than those in the controls. The DD genotype (p=0.021, OR=0.491, 95% CI=0.268-0.899) and D allele (p=0.004, OR=0.495, 95% CI=0.305-0.805) were found to be correlated with a decreased risk of a myeloproliferative neoplasm. These findings support the hypothesis that the ACE II genotype and I allele may be related to increased risk of ET and PV. Conversely, the DD genotype and D allele may be related to decreased risk of ET and PV. The results also indicated that the ACE I/D gene polymorphism was independent of thrombosis formation.

    A fertile patient with 45X/47XXX mosaicism: Turner syndrome (TS) is a sex chromosome abnormality with a frequency of 1/2,000-3,000 among female live births. Characteristic findings are short stature and gonadal dysgenesis. Short and webbed neck, low posterior hairline, broad chest, widespread nipples, cubitus valgus, short 4th and 5th metacarpals, multiple pigmented nevi, primary amenorrhea, lack of secondary sexual characteristics, cardiovascular and renal anomalies are the most common presentations. Most of the cases are infertile. Spontaneous pregnancy is unusual and the risk for congenital anomaly, spontaneous abortion, stillbirth and aneuploidy is increased. Fifty percent of the patients have classical monosomy X (45,X). However mosaicism of 45,X/47,XXX is rare and accounts for 1.7% of the TS cases. Some cases may not reflect the characteristic phenotype. Some cases with normal height, normal menstrual cyclus and fertility have been defined before. The case we present herein is a 26 years old woman who was admitted to our clinic due to recurrent pregnancy loss. In her medical history she had type 1 diabetes mellitus and endometrium cancer, in her family history her mother had recurrent pregnancy loss. The patient's first, third, fourth, fifth and sixth pregnancies had resulted in spontaneous abortions in the first trimester. She had a healthy daughter with 46,XX karyotype from her second pregnancy. A 45,X[8]/47,XXX[12] karyotype was detected by conventional cytogenetic analysis of the patient who did not have dysmorphic findings. The mosaicism was confirmed by FISH analysis with CEP X probe. Of the 100 cells evaluated, 65 of them had 3 signals of X chromosome while 35 had 1 signal. We present the case because of its scarcity in the literature.

    A novel mutation in the FRAS1 gene in a patient with Fraser syndrome: Fraser Syndrome (FS) is a rare disease with autosomal recessive inheritance characterized by cryptophthalmus, cutaneous syndactyly, laryngeal and urogenital anomalies. Mutations in the genes FRAS1 and FREM2 encoding components of a protein complex of the extracellular matrix, and recently also mutations in GRIP1 have been found to be causative for FS. We present here molecular and clinical findings of a patient with FS who was found to have a novel homozygous frameshift mutation c.9739delA, p.(T3247Pfs*44) in exon 63 of FRAS1 gene. Further testing confirmed the heterozygous carrier status of parents.

    A novel mutation in NPR2 gene in a patient with acromesomelic dysplasia, Maroteaux type: Acromesomelic dysplasia, Maroteaux type (AMDM) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by disproportionate shortening of skeletal elements, predominantly affecting the middle segments (forearms and forelegs) and distal segments (hands and feet) of appendicular skeleton. Furthermore it is related to axial skeleton and leads to wedging of vertebral bodies, with shorter dorsal margins than the ventral margins. Bartels et al. defined mutations in NPR2 gene, encoding natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B), underlying Acromesomelic dysplasia, type Maroteaux. We present here molecular and clinical findings of a case with AMDM. In a patient, a novel homozygous mutation c.1435C>T p.R479X in exon 7 of NPR2 gene was found. Further testing confirmed the heterozygous carrier status of the parents. Our findings expand the spectrum of causative mutations in AMDM.

    Metformin relaxes rat thoracic aorta via nitric oxide, AMPK, potassium channels, and PKC
    (Mashhad Univ Med Sciences, 2023-09-01) Şahintürk, Serdar; ŞAHİNTÜRK, SERDAR; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Fizyoloji Anabilim Dalı; ACQ-9887-2022
    Objective(s): The present research aimed to identify the functional effects and underlying mechanisms of metformin on the rat thoracic aorta.Materials and Methods: Thoracic aorta segments of Wistar Albino rats were put in the chambers of an isolated tissue bath system. The resting tone was adjusted to 1 g. Following the equilibration time, potassium chloride or phenylephrine was used to contract the vascular segments. The vessel segments were cumulatively treated with metformin (10-7-10-3 M) when a steady contraction was achieved. The described experimental approach was repeated after incubations with signaling pathway inhibitors and selective blockers of potassium channels to identify the effect mechanisms of metformin.Results: Metformin had a potent vasorelaxant effect in a concentration-dependent way (P<0.001). After the endothelium was removed, the vasorelaxant effect level of metformin was significantly reduced. The level of vasorelaxant effect of metformin was increased by the maintenance of perivascular adipose tissue. Following administrations of L-NAME, methylene blue, compound C, BIM-I, and potassium channel blockers, the level of vasodilatory action of metformin was significantly reduced (P<0.001). Conclusion: According to the results of this investigation, metformin significantly relaxes the thoracic aorta segments of rats. Metformin-mediated vasorelaxation involves the activation of numerous subtypes of potassium channels, including BKCa, IKCa, Kv, Kir, and K2p channels, as well as endothelium-dependent processes, including AMPK and eNOS/NO/sGS signaling pathways. Moreover, metformin-induced vasorelaxation is mediated through PVAT activation and the PKC signaling pathway.
