Item COVID-19 vaccine candidates and vaccine development platforms available worldwide(ELSEVIER, 2021-01-01) Duman, Nilgun; ALzaidi, Zahraa; Aynekin, Busra; Taskin, Duygu; Demirors, Busra; Yildirim, Abdulbaki; Sahin, Izem Olcay; Bilgili, Faik; Turanli, Eda Tahir; Beccari, Tommaso; Bertelli, Matteo; Dundar, MunisThe pandemic caused by the worldwide spread of the coronavirus, which first appeared in 2019, has been named coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). More than 4.5 million deaths have been recorded due to the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), according to the World Health Organization. COVID-19 Dashboard in September 2021. Apart from the wildtype, other variations have been successfully transmitted early in the outbreak although they were not discovered until March 2020. Modifications in the SARS-CoV-2 genetic material, such as mutation and recombi-nation, have the ability to modify the viral life span, along with transitivity, cellular tropism, and symptom severity. Several processes are involved in introducing novel vaccines to the population, including vaccine manufacturing, preclinical studies, Food and Drug Administration permission or cer-tification, processing, and marketing. COVID-19 vaccine candidates have been developed by a number of public and private groups employing a variety of strategies, such as RNA, DNA, protein, and viral vectored vaccines. This comprehensive review, which included the most subsequent evidence on unique features of SARS-CoV-2 and the associated morbidity and mortality, was carried out using a systematic search of recent online databases in order to generate useful knowledge about the COVID-19 updated versions and their consequences on the disease symptoms and vaccine development.

Ugur; Siva, Aksel; Turanli, Eda TahirMultiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated, neuro-inflammatory, demyelinating and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with a heterogeneous clinical presentation and course. There is a remarkable phenotypic heterogeneity in MS, and the molecular mechanisms underlying it remain unknown. We aimed to investigate further the etiopathogenesis related molecular pathways in subclinical types of MS using proteomic and bioinformatics approaches in cerebrospinal fluids of patients with clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing remitting MS and progressive MS (n=179). Comparison of disease groups with controls revealed a total of 151 proteins that are differentially expressed in clinically different MS subtypes. KEGG analysis using PANOGA tool revealed the disease related pathways including aldosterone-regulated sodium reabsorption (p=8.02x10(-5)) which is important in the immune cell migration, renin-angiotensin (p=6.88x10(-5)) system that induces Th17 dependent immunity, notch signaling (p=1.83x10(-10)) pathway indicating the activated remyelination and vitamin digestion and absorption pathways (p=1.73x10(-5)). An emerging theme from our studies is that whilst all MS clinical forms share common biological pathways, there are also clinical subtypes specific and pathophysiology related pathways which may have further therapeutic implications.Item Investigating the role of common and rare variants in multiplex multiple sclerosis families reveals an increased burden of common risk variation(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-01-01) Everest, Elif; Ahangari, Mohammad; Uygunoglu, Ugur; Tutuncu, Melih; Bulbul, Alper; Saip, Sabahattin; Duman, Taskin; Sezerman, Ugur; Reich, Daniel S.; Riley, Brien P.; Siva, Aksel; Turanli, Eda TahirMany multiple sclerosis (MS)-associated common risk variants as well as candidate low-frequency and rare variants have been identifiedItem Investigation of multiple sclerosis-related pathways through the integration of genomic and proteomic data(PEERJ INC, 2021-01-01) Everest, Elif; Ulgen, Ege; Uygunoglu, Ugur; Tutuncu, Melih; Saip, Sabahattin; Sezerman, Osman Ugur; Siva, Aksel; Turanli, Eda TahirBackground. Multiple sclerosis (MS) has a complex pathophysiology, variable clinical presentation, and unpredictable prognosisItem Transcriptomics and Proteomics Analyses Reveal JAK Signaling and Inflammatory Phenotypes during Cellular Senescence in Blind Mole Rats: The Reflections of Superior Biology(MDPI, 2022-01-01) Inci, Nurcan; Akyildiz, Erdogan Oguzhan; Bulbul, Abdullah Alper; Turanli, Eda Tahir; Akgun, Emel; Baykal, Ahmet Tarik; Colak, Faruk; Bozaykut, PerinurThe blind mole rat (BMR), a long-living subterranean rodent, is an exceptional model for both aging and cancer research since they do not display age-related phenotypes or tumor formation. The Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling is a cytokine-stimulated pathway that has a crucial role in immune regulation, proliferation, and cytokine production. Therefore, the pathway has recently attracted interest in cellular senescence studies. Here, by using publicly available data, we report that JAK-STAT signaling was suppressed in the BMR in comparison to the mouse. Interestingly, our experimental results showed upregulated Jak1/2 expressions in BMR fibroblasts during the replicative senescence process. The transcriptomic analysis using publicly available data also demonstrated that various cytokines related to JAK-STAT signaling were upregulated in the late passage cells, while some other cytokines such as MMPs and SERPINs were downregulated, representing a possible balance of senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs) in the BMR. Finally, our proteomics data also confirmed cytokine-mediated signaling activation in senescent BMR fibroblasts. Together, our findings suggest the critical role of JAK-STAT and cytokine-mediated signaling pathways during cellular senescence, pointing to the possible contribution of divergent inflammatory factors to the superior resistance of aging and cancer in BMRs.
