Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Bioavailability Assessment of the Novel Gsh-Functionalized Feb Nanoparticles Via Oxidative Stress and Trace Element Metabolism in Vitro: Promising Tools for Biomedical Applications(Springer, 2024) Aydemir, Duygu; Aribuga, Dilara; Hashemkhani, Mahshid; Acar, Havva Yagci; Çağıran, Özge Balcı; Ulusu, Nuriye NurayIron-based magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted significant attention in biomedical research, particularly for applications such as cancer detection and therapy, targeted drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and hyperthermia. This study focuses on the synthesis and glutathione (GSH) functionalization of iron boride (FeB) nanoparticles (NPs) for prospective biomedical use. The GSH-functionalized FeB NPs (FeB@GSH) demonstrated ferromagnetic behavior, with a saturation magnetization (Ms) of 45.8 emu/g and low coercivity (Hc = 1000 Oe), indicating desirable magnetic properties for biomedical applications. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of the FeB@GSH revealed well-dispersed nanoparticles with diameters smaller than 30 nm. Comprehensive nanotoxicity and biocompatibility assessments were performed using various healthy and cancer cell lines, including 293 T, HeLa, 3T3, MCF7, HCT116, and CFPAC-1. Cytotoxicity assays were conducted on FeB@GSH-treated cells over a dose range of 0-300 mu g/mL during 24-h incubations. Results indicated no significant differences in cell viability between treated and untreated control groups, confirming the biocompatibility of FeB@GSH. Further nanotoxicity evaluations were carried out on 3T3, 293 T, and CFPAC-1 cell lines, focusing on oxidative stress markers and cellular metabolism by measuring antioxidant enzyme activity. Additionally, ion release and mineral metabolism were assessed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), revealing no notable variations between the treated and control groups. These findings suggest that FeB@GSH NPs exhibit excellent biocompatibility, making them promising candidates for diverse biomedical applications, including medical imaging, drug delivery systems, and therapeutic interventions.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Enhanced Properties of Tio<sub>2</Sub> Nanotubes Through Α-fe<sub>2</Sub>o<sub>3< Surface Decoration: Synthesis, Characterization, and Performance Evaluation(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Doluel, Eyyup Can; Kartal, Ugur; Uzunbayir, Begum; Erol, Mustafa; Yurddaskal, Metin; Pulat, Gunnur; Guler, SaadetElectrochemical anodization, under a constant voltage of 45 V and for 15, 30, and 45 min, was performed to fabricate highly ordered TiO2 nanotubes. Depending on the processing paramters, the diameter of the TiO2 nanotubes was found to be around 95 +/- 6 nm, while the thickness of TNT layer exhibited a change with anodizing time, varying from 1 to 4 mu m. Subsequent to the anodization alpha-Fe2O3/TiO2 heterogeneous structure was created by the spin coating of iron precursor based solutions on TiO2 nanotubes. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis were utilized to ascertain the phase structure and morphology of TiO2 nanotubes. The change of optical band gap values depending on the processing parameters was calculated using UV-Vis spectrophotometer data. The photocatalytic performances of the samples, namely the degradation rates and kinetics, were evaluated by examining the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB). The (TC15) sample, obtained by anodizing for 15 min and decorated with alpha-Fe2O3, exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity, with a degradation efficiency of 70 % at the end of 7 h of light exposure. On the other hand, the inhibition percentages of bacterial growth were examined and it was seen that the TC30 sample with the highest value was 88.89 % for E.coli bacteria and 70.57 % for S.aureus. To assess the mechanism of antimicrobial activity, ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) Analysis were perfomed on T30 and TC30 groups and the ROS amount of TC30 was higher than T30. According to the results of the L929 mouse fibroblast cytotoxicity experiment with indirect contact according to ISO 10993-5 standards, all samples showed a successful performance in terms of cell viability. The cell viability of TC15 was higher in comparison to the control group.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 14Development of Tissue-Engineered Vascular Grafts From Decellularized Parsley Stems(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023) Çevik, Merve; Dikici, SerkanCardiovascular diseases are mostly associated with narrowing or blockage of blood vessels, and it is the most common cause of death worldwide. The use of vascular grafts is a promising approach to bypass or replace the blocked vessels for long-term treatment. Although autologous arteries or veins are the most preferred tissue sources for vascular bypass, the limited presence and poor quality of autologous vessels necessitate seeking alternative biomaterials. Recently, synthetic grafts have gained attention as an alternative to autologous grafts. However, the high failure rate of synthetic grafts has been reported primarily due to thrombosis, atherosclerosis, intimal hyperplasia, or infection. Thrombosis, the main reason for failure upon implantation, is associated with damage or absence of endothelial cell lining in the vascular graft's luminal surface. To overcome this, tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) have come into prominence. Alongside the well-established scaffold manufacturing techniques, decellularized plant-based constructs have recently gained significant importance and are an emerging field in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Accordingly, in this study, we demonstrated the fabrication of tubular scaffolds from decellularized parsley stems and recellularized them with human endothelial cells to be used as a potential TEVG. Our results suggested that the native plant DNA was successfully removed, and soft tubular biomaterials were successfully manufactured via the chemical decellularization of the parsley stems. The decellularized parsley stems showed suitable mechanical and biological properties to be used as a TEVG material, and they provided a suitable environment for the culture of human endothelial cells to attach and create a pseudo endothelium prior to implantation. This study is the first one to demonstrate the potential of the parsley stems to be used as a potential TEVG biomaterial. © 2024 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
