Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 15Antiproliferative and Apoptotic Effects of Olive Leaf Extract Microcapsules on Mcf-7 and A549 Cancer Cells(American Chemical Society, 2023) Bal, Yıldız; Sürmeli, Yusuf; Şanlı Mohamed, GülşahAlginate microcapsules are a talented means for the delivery of broad curative biomacromolecules. In this study, we immobilized olive leaf extract (OLE) by calcium alginate (CA) and chitosan-coated CA (CCA) and characterized the OLE-loaded CA and CCA. The cytotoxic effect, the cell cycle arrest, and the apoptotic effect of OLE and its microcapsules were investigated against breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and lung carcinoma (A549). As a result, the loading capacity of OLE-CA and OLE-CCA was found to be 80 and 99%, respectively, in optimal conditions. Also, OLE-CA and OLE-CCA were characterized by unique FTIR peaks and morphological display relative to the empty CCA microcapsules. The cytotoxicity analysis showed that the IC50 values of OLE-CA and OLE-CCA were determined to be 312 and 0.94 μg mL-1 against A549, respectively, whereas these were found to be 865.4 and 425.5 μg mL-1 for MCF-7 cells. On the other hand, the OLE microcapsules did not possess in any concentration of cytotoxic influence on the BEAS 2B healthy cell line. Also, the exposure of OLE-CCA to MCF-7 and A549 resulted in the arrest of more MCF-7 and A549 cells at the G0/G1 phase compared to the OLE. A549 and MCF-7 cells were predominantly found in the late apoptosis phase and necrosis phase, respectively. Optical microscopy images confirmed that OLE microcapsules were more effective against MCF-7 and A549 than free OLE. The present work suggested that the OLE microcapsules might be administered as nutrition supplements for cancer therapy. © 2023 The Authors.

A549 and HeLa cells exposed to 250-100-50-25 mu M doses of each derivative were incubated for 24, 48, and 72 h. The cytotoxicity of the isoindole-1,3-dione derivatives was analyzed using the cell growth inhibition assay and the cell membrane damage test. (3aR,5R,6R,7aS)-5-Azido-2-benzyl-6-hydroxyhexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (1d), (3aR,5R,6R,7aS)-5-azido-6-((tert-butyldiphenylsilyl)oxy)-2-ethylhexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (2a), and (3aR,5R,6R,7aS)-5-azido-6-((tert-butyldiphenylsilyl)oxy)-2-methylhexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (2b) compounds inhibited the growth of the A549 and HeLa cells caused membrane damage and exhibited a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect on lung and cervical carcinoma cells. The effect of tert-butyldiphenylsilyl (TBDPS) groups on cytotoxicity was observed in compounds 2a and 2b, but not in the other compounds. Considering the effect of groups attached to the nitrogen atom, the best activity was exhibited in 2b molecule to which the methyl group is attached. Additionally, the interactions of compounds (3aR,5R,6R,7aS)-5-azido-6-hydroxy-2-methylhexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (1b), 1d, 2a and 2b with mammalian rapamycin target, human ribosomal S6 kinase 1 and human epidermal growth factor receptor were investigated by molecular docking studies, . According to the docking results, 2a and 2b compounds containing a TBDPS group have stronger binding energies than 1b and 1d compounds against all target receptors.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 6Immobilization of Olive Leaf Extract With Chitosan Nanoparticles as an Adjunct To Enhance Cytotoxicity(American Chemical Society, 2023) Özdamar, Burcu; Sürmeli, Yusuf; Şanlı Mohamed, GülşahWe immobilized the olive leaf extract (OLE) with chitosannanoparticles(CNPs) by optimizing the effect of various immobilization conditions,and OLE-loaded CNPs (OLE-CNPs) were then elaborately characterizedphysicochemically by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforminfrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), andatomic force microscopy (AFM). Under optimal conditions, CNPs wereable to accommodate the OLE with a loading capacity of 97.5%. Theresulting OLE-CNPs had a spherical morphology, and their average diameterwas approximately 100 nm. The cytotoxic influence, cell cycle distribution,and apoptosis stage of OLE and OLE-CNPs were analyzed on lung carcinoma(A549) and breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines. In an in vitrocytotoxic assay, IC50 values of OLE-CNPs were determinedto be 540 & mu;g/mL for A549 and 810 & mu;g/mL for MCF-7. Thetreatment of both A549 and MCF-7 with OLE-CNPs caused the highestcell arrest in G0/G1 in a dose-independent manner. OLE-CNPs affectedcell cycle distribution in a manner different from free OLE treatmentin both cancer cells. A549 and MCF-7 cells were predominantly foundin the late apoptosis and necrosis phases, respectively, upon treatmentof 1000 & mu;M OLE-CNPs. Our results suggest that CNPs enhance theutility of OLEs as nutraceuticals in cancer and that OLE-CNPs canbe utilized as an adjunct to cancer therapy.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 15Sorafenib Loaded Zif-8 Metal-Organic Frameworks as a Multifunctional Nano-Carrier Offers Effective Hepatocellular Carcinoma Therapy(Elsevier, 2023) Mete, Derya; Yemeztaşlıca Yetişkin, Egehan; Şanlı Mohamed, GülşahHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary malignant neoplasia of the liver and sorafenib is one of the most commonly used drugs in the treatment of HCC. Due to undesirable nature and side effects of sorafenib, nano-drug delivery systems are being developed. A member of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), ZIF-8 offers a very suitable platform for drug transport and controlled drug release due to its zinc content and pH-sensitive, biodegradable in an acidic environment. In the present study, sorafenib was encapsulated in ZIF-8 material with 53.8% efficiency and 58% loading capacity (SRF@ZIF-8). Structural characterizations of synthesized ZIF-8 and SRF@ZIF-8 system were investigated in details. Drug release analysis exhibited a faster release profile at pH 5.0 compared to that of pH 7.4. The cytotoxic effects of sorafenib and zinc were investigated in HepG2 and HuH-7 cell lines in vitro. The results demonstrated that in addition to sorafenib, ZIF-8 provided zinc to the envi-ronment with its biodegradable structure resulted in an effective cytotoxic effect on HCC cells. The findings showed that a formulation combining zinc and sorafenib together was more effective in HCC treatment compared to sorafenib itself.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Evaluation of in Vivo Biological Activity Profiles of Isoindole-1,3 Derivatives: Cytotoxicity, Toxicology, and Histopathology Studies(Amer Chemical Soc, 2023) Köse, Aytekin; Kaya, Meltem; Tomruk, Canberk; Uyanıkgil, Yiğit; Kıshalı, Nurhan; Kara, Yunus; Şanlı Mohamed, GülşahThe anticancer activity of N-benzylisoindole-1,3-dione derivatives was evaluated against adenocarcinoma (A549 Luc). First, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide activity assay studies of two isoindole-1,3-dione derivatives were performed against A549 cell lines. Both compounds showed inhibitory effects on the viability of A549 cells. Then, we explored the potential of these compounds as active ingredients by in vivo studies. Nude mice were given A549-luc lung cancer cells, and tumor growth was induced with a xenograft model. Then, nude mice were divided into three groups: the control group, compound 3 group, and compound 4 group. After application of each compound to the mice, tumor sizes, their survival, and weight were determined for 60 days. Furthermore, toxicological studies were performed to examine the effects of the drugs in mice. In addition to toxicological studies, histopathological analyses of organs taken from mice were performed, and the results were evaluated. The obtained results showed that both N-benzylisoindole derivatives are potential anticancer agents.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 23Engineering of Xylanases for the Development of Biotechnologically Important Characteristics(Wiley, 2023) Sürmeli, Yusuf; Şanlı Mohamed, GülşahXylanases are the main biocatalysts used for the reduction of the xylan backbone from hemicellulose, randomly splitting off β-1,4-glycosidic linkages between xylopyranosyl residues. Xylanase market has been annually estimated at 500 million US Dollars and they are potentially used in broad industrial process ranges such as paper pulp biobleaching, xylo-oligosaccharide production, and biofuel manufacture from lignocellulose. The highly stable xylanases are preferred in the downstream procedure of industrial processes because they can tolerate severe conditions. Almost all native xylanases can not endure adverse conditions thus they are industrially not proper to be utilized. Protein engineering is a powerful technology for developing xylanases, which can effectively work in adverse conditions and can meet requirements for industrial processes. This study considered state-of-the-art strategies of protein engineering for creating the xylanase gene diversity, high-throughput screening systems toward upgraded traits of the xylanases, and the prediction and comprehensive analysis of the target mutations in xylanases by in silico methods. Also, key molecular factors have been elucidated for industrial characteristics (alkaliphilic enhancement, thermal stability, and catalytic performance) of GH11 family xylanases. The present review explores industrial characteristics improved by directed evolution, rational design, and semi-rational design as protein engineering approaches for pulp bleaching process, xylooligosaccharides production, and biorefinery & bioenergy production.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Structural and Functional Analyses of Gh51 Alpha-L of Geobacillus Vulcani Gs90 Reveal Crucial Residues for Catalytic Activity and Thermostability(Wiley, 2022) Sürmeli, Yusuf; Şanlı Mohamed, GülşahAlpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (Abf) is of big interest in various industrial areas. Directed evolution is a powerful strategy to identify significant residues underlying Abf properties. Here, six active variants from GH51 Abf of Geobacillus vulcani GS90 (GvAbf) by directed evolution were overproduced, extracted, and analyzed at biochemical and structural levels. According to the activity and thermostability results, the most-active and the least-active variants were found as GvAbf51 and GvAbf52, respectively. GvAbf63 variant was more active than parent GvAbf by 20% and less active than GvAbf51. Also, the highest thermostability belonged to GvAbf52 with 80% residual activity after 1 h. Comparative sequence and structure analyses revealed that GvAbf51 possessed L307S displacement. Thus, this study suggested that L307 residue may be critical for GvAbf activity. GvAbf63 had H30D, Q90H, and L307S displacements, and H30 was covalently bound to E29 catalytic residue. Thus, H30D may decrease the positive effect of L307S on GvAbf63 activity, preventing E29 action. Besides, GvAbf52 possessed S215N, L307S, H473P, and G476C substitutions and S215 was close to E175 (acid–base residue). S215N may partially disrupt E175 action. Overall effect of all substitutions in GvAbf52 may result in the formation of the C–C bond between C171 and C213 by becoming closer to each other.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Regio- and Stereo-Chemical Ring-Opening Reactions of the 2,3-Epoxy Alcohol Derivative With Nucleophiles: Explanation of the Structures and C-2 Selectivity Supported by Theoretical Computations(Elsevier, 2022) Gündoğdu, Özlem; Atalay, Abdurrahman; Çelebioğlu, Neslihan; Anıl, Barış; Şahin, Ertan; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Bozkaya, Uğur; Kara, YunusThe ring-opening reactions of (1aS,2S,6bR)-5-ethyl-2-hydroxyhexahydro-4H-oxireno[2,3-e]isoindole-4,6(5H)-dione were investigated under very mild and nonchelated conditions. C-2 selective ring-opening products were obtained with nucleophilic additions such as Cl−, Br− and N3−. The exact configuration of (3aS,4R,5R,6S,7aS)-5-chloro-2-ethyl-4,6-dihydroxyhexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione was determined by X-Ray diffraction analysis which was obtained from the reaction of epoxy alcohol with HCl. On the other hand, theoretical computations were carried out to explain the regioselectivity in the ring opening reaction of epoxy alcohols. The results showed that the ring-opening reaction of both epoxy alcohols proceeds in a kinetically controlled manner and regioselectivity occurs depending on the transition state.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 18A Novel Thermostable Xylanase From Geobacillus Vulcani Gs90: Production, Biochemical Characterization, and Its Comparative Application in Fruit Juice Enrichment(Wiley, 2021) Algan, Müge; Sürmeli, Yusuf; Şanlı Mohamed, GülşahXylanases have great attention to act as a potential role in agro-industrial processes. In this study, production, characterization, and fruit juice application of novel xylanase from thermophilic Geobacillus vulcani GS90 (GvXyl) were performed. GvXyl was purified via acetone precipitation and gel-filtration chromatography. The results showed that GvXyl had 1,671.4 U/mg of specific activity and optimally worked at pH 8 and 55 degrees C. It was also active in a wide pH (3-9) and temperature (30-90oC) ranges. GvXyl was highly stable at 90oC and relatively stable at pH 3-9. The kinetic parameters of GvXyl were obtained as K-m, V-max, and k(cat); 10.2 mg/ml, 4,104 mu mol min(-1) mg(-1), and 3,542.6 s(-1), respectively. GvXyl had higher action than commercial xylanase in fruit juice enrichment. These results revealed that GvXyl might possess a potential influence in fruit juice processing because of its high specific activity and great thermal stability. Practical applications Polysaccharides include starch, pectin, and hemicellulose create problems by lowering fruit juice quality in beverages. To overcome this problem, various clarification processes might be applied to natural fruit juices. Even though chemicals are widely used for this purpose, recently enzymes including xylanases are preferred for obtaining high-quality products. In this study, we reported the production and biochemical characterization of novel thermostable xylanase from thermophilic G. vulcani GS90 (GvXyl). Also, apple and orange juice enrichment were performed with the novel xylanase to increase the quality in terms of yield, clarity, and reducing sugar substance. The improved quality features of apple and orange juices with GvXyl was then compared to commercially available beta-1,4-xylanase. The results revealed that GvXyl might possess a potential influence in fruit juice processing because of its high specific activity and great thermal stability.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Enhanced Thermostability of the Immobilized Thermoalkalophilic Esterase Onto Magnetic-Cornstarch Nanoparticle(Wiley, 2022) Öz, Yasin; Sürmeli, Yusuf; Şanlı Mohamed, GülşahThe immobilization of the biocatalysts onto magnetic nanoparticles has been extensively applied as the external magnetic field facilitates the enzyme recovery from the reaction mixture. In the present study, glutaraldehyde-modified magnetite-cornstarch nanoparticles (MCNs) were successfully synthesized, elaborately characterized by ZetaSizer and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and used for the immobilization of a thermoalkalophilic esterase from Geobacillus sp. The optimal immobilization conditions were obtained at 65 degrees C, 2:3 molar ratios of Fe2+:Fe3+, and 1 g cornstarch resulted in approximately 90 nm magnetic particles in size. Also, immobilization yield and immobilization efficiency of the esterase were found as 74% and 82%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs showed that MCNs were uniform, spherical in shape, and well dispersed and esterase immobilized MCNs displayed similar morphology as free MCNs. The maximum activity of free and immobilized esterase was obtained at 65 degrees C and pH 9. Immobilization onto glutaraldehyde-modified MCNs significantly enhanced the esterase thermostability. Additionally, the immobilized esterase kept its residual activity of 75% after three sequential cycles, suggesting that it has favorable operational stability.
