“…Coleoptera, containing 170 families, is the largest group of insects and is represented by more than 350,000 species worldwide. Globally, Hydrophilinae, which is sub-coleoptera is represented by approximately 57 genera and 1784 species, mostly consisting of species living in wetlands (Mart, 2009;Fikáček et al, 2010). Hydrophilidae is distributed in Europe, Asia and North Africa with a total of 34 genera.…”

In this study, protein extraction was performed from the aquatic insect Helophorus aquaticus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Helophorus syriacus (Kuwert, 1885) species belonging to the genus Helophorus (Coleoptera: Helophoridae). Then, these protein extracts were studied in vitro. These species were collected from the shallow parts of various streams, springs, creeks, ponds and hot springs from Bingöl city centre and its districts between May to June 2017. The protein amount was determined 34.78 mg/mL in the H. aquaticus and 35.14 mg/mL in the H. syriacus, after that he antioxidant capacity of protein extracts was examined. Metal chelating activity was determined as 90-88.5% and DPPH removal activity 53.19-61.7% for H. aquaticus and H. syriacus respectively. Protein samples belonging to both species were tested for cell vitality with WST-1 in PC-3 (prostate cancer) cells with in vitro cell culture. Upon examination of the test results, it has been found out that protein extracts from both of the studied species caused a decrease in cell inhibition. The highest cell inhibition was observed in samples with 1000 μg/mL insect protein extract added. In this study, protein expression providing apoptosis was examined with the Western blot technique after the effective dose was established. By looking at the proteins of Cyt-C and Caspase 3 with the Western blot technique, the efficacy of the protein extracts from both species was demonstrated effectively for the in vitro PC-3 line in non-apoptosis cell death. As a result of the study, insect proteins were shown to support the production of proteins that ensure cell death with the western blot technique.

“…According to the peer reviewed literature, aquatic beetles are widely distributed in Artvin. There are 57 recorded species belong to Dytiscidae (30), Hydrophilidae ( 19), Helophoridae (6), Hydrochidae (2) in Artvin (Darılmaz and Kıyak 2009;Mart 2009;Darılmaz and İncekara 2011;Daşbaşı 2017;Yüncü 2019). These studies conducted in difference places of Artvin, however there is no study, which was made in Murgul before.…”

ÖZET: Murgul'un (Artvin) sucul böcek (Coleoptera) faunasını belirlemek için Murgul Bakır Madeni civarındaki üç lokaliteden Haziran-Temmuz 2020 ayları arasında örnekleme yapıldı. Toplamda Dytiscidae ve Hydrophilidae ait 12 tür elde edildi. Bunlardan 9 tanesi Hydrophilidae (6 Laccobius, Enochrus, 1 Hydrobius, 1 Coelostoma), ve 3 tanesi Dytiscidae (1 Agabus, 1 Deronectes, Hydroglyphus) ait türlerdir. Hydroglyphus pusillus, Laccobius (Dimorpholaccobius) sculptus ve Laccobius (Dimorpholaccobius) sulcatulus türleri Artvin ilinden ilk kez kaydedilmiştir. Çalışma alanında tespit edilen altı tür ile Laccobius, diğer iki cinse göre sayı olarak fazladır. Bu çalışma, madenden etkilenen habitatların biyotik ve abiyotik örneklerde ağır metal konsantrasyonu açısından değerlendirilmesi ve izlenmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.
