    Purpose: Sperm processing (e.g., centrifugation) used in preparation for assisted reproduction can result in excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and potential sperm damage. The use of antioxidants during sperm processing has been shown to prevent iatrogenic sperm damage, including DNA damage. In this study, we evaluated the effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on oxidative stress mediated sperm dysfunction and DNA damage. Methods: Semen samples were obtained to liquefy at room temperature. After centrifugation and washing protocols, spermatozoa were incubated in a single step supplemented medium with either of 10, 50 or 100 µmol/L CAPE for 2 hours at 36 °C. After incubation period, MDA levels of seminal plasma were measured. The fragmentation in sperm DNA was detected by light microscopy via use of an aniline blue assay, while ultrastructural morphology was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. Results: Significant increase has been observed in percent chromatin condensation (assessed by aniline blue staining) and Malondialdehyde (Mmol/L) in oligoasthenoteratozoospermia group before the centrifugation (0.57 ± 0.15). Incubation of samples with 100 µmol/L CAPE after centrifugation resulted in a significantly lower percent chromatin condensation compared to samples incubated without CAPE (0.42 ± 0.12) (P <0.0033). Incubation of all samples with CAPE (10 µmol/L, 50 µmol/L, 100 µmol/L.) after centrifugation resulted in a significantly lower percentage of Malondialdehyde levels. Conclusions: The data suggests that preincubation of spermatozoa with the antioxidant CAPE offers protection against oxidative DNA damage in vitro.

    Effects of different drug treatments on the proliferation of human ovarian carcinoma cell line MDAH-2774
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2018) Ayla, Şule; Bilir, Ayhan; Ertürkoğlu, Şenol; Tanrıverdi, Gamze; Soner, Burak Cem; Sofuoğlu, Kenan; Ghisolfi, Laura; Öktem, Gülperi
    Background/aim: In this study, the effects of resveratrol as a natural polyphenol compound, gemcitabine as an antimetabolite that has nucleoside structure analogous to deoxycytidine, and para-aminophenol-derived paracetamol were investigated with single and combined applications in monolayers of the MDAH-2774 human ovarian cancer cell line. Materials and methods: Drugs were evaluated in cell culture with respect to cell proliferation, cell cytotoxicity (trypan blue dye exclusion test), synthesis phase of cell cycle, and cell structure in 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. Result: Resveratrol and gemcitabine diminished both cell proliferation and cell cycle synthesis phase indication in monolayer cell cultures (P < 0.05). All combination groups showed similar effects that were mainly more effective in respect to single usage of resveratrol and gemcitabine in monolayer cell cultures. Conclusion: The effects of gemcitabine, resveratrol, and paracetamol were investigated in monolayers of the MDAH-2774 human ovarian cancer cell line and a decrease in cell number in cell cycle synthesis phase, prevention of cell proliferation, and destruction of cell structure were observed.

    Neuroprotective effect of intrastriatal caffeic acid phenethyl ester treatment in 6-oh dopamine model of parkinson's disease in rats
    (Hindawi Ltd, 2021) Soner, Burak Cem; Açıkgöz, Eda; İnan, Salim Yalçın; Ayla, Şule; Şahin, Ayşe Saide; Öktem, Gülperi
    Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, and the main cause of PD is still not known. Until now, no cure for Parkinson's disease is yet in sight. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is a polyphenolic component of the propolis, which can be derived from honeybee hive propolis. We aimed to determine the effect of intrastriatal CAPE administration as a neuroprotective agent on 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced PD model. Adult male Wistar rats weighing 280-320 g were used. The PD model was induced with unilateral intrastriatal 6-OHDA injection. Treatment groups received 20 mu mol/5 mu L/4 day and 80 mu mol/5 mu L/4 day CAPE 24 h after 6-OHDA injection. Eight days after 6-OHDA application, behavioral studies (adhesive tape removal test, open-field test, cylinder test, and apomorphine-induced asymmetric rotational behavior) were performed once more to compare the effects of CAPE on behavior tests. Striatal histological verifications, immunohistochemistry, and stereological quantitation were performed. Our results for the first time showed that, besides improving the motor performance, CAPE treatment also prevents 6-OHDA-induced loss of TH-positive neurons. From our results, CAPE may be a promising clinical agent in the treatment of PD.
