Our studies till today, we have continued to clarify the PKC signal pathway, the results from these studies will guide our new projects. We found that EpCAM, Claudin and tetraspanin are the important proteins that have been found effective in the signaling pathway.
Following this project, studies on the effect of exosomes released from ovarian cancer cells by primary ovarian cancer cells and healthy epithelium and mesothelial cells by uptake of 1001 Tubitak Project and carcinogenesis mechanism in target cells are continuing.
According to the results obtained from these studies, it is aimed to improve the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian and colon cancer. In this context, synthesis of targeted therapeutic molecules, development of diagnostic kits optimized for diseases and cancer, and full characterization of synthesized molecules are studied.
The selective delivery of highly effective drugs by antibody drug conjugates (ADC) is a promising approach for the treatment of cancer to overcome the multidrug resistance (MDR). The monoclonal antibody (mAb), which has been highly expressed by specific cancer type, may be linked to payload which targets the DNA or microtubules using the site-specific conjugation methods to synthesize the ADC. Both the use of the target antibody and the use of a hydrophilic linker may help to overcome the MDR. In addition, we are planning to produce surface functionalized exosome (mAb-exosome, drug-exosome, peptide-exosome conjugates) loaded drug for specific targeting.
In this content, it is tried to find specific biomarkers for rare diseases and cancer. The biological nanovesicles, namely exosomes which include some specific proteins called “Exosome Markers”. The study aims to develop diagnostic kit based on exosome to help diagnose cancer types at an early stage and also determine the stage of the cancer by using statistical algorithms. The specific biomarker in the patient’s blood samples will be screened by using Exosome-mAb/Drug/Peptide Conjugation.
