    An Efficient Method of Improving Essential Oil Retention and Sustained Release of Chitosan Films: Ultrasound-Assisted Preparation of Chitosan Composites With Surface Active Chickpea Proteins
    (Elsevier, 2024) Barış Kavur, Pelin; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet
    This work aimed at preparing chitosan (CHI) composites with surface active chickpea protein (CP) showing better eugenol (EUG) retention and sustained release capacity than pristine CHI films. For this purpose, ionic complexation of CHI with CP (CHI:CP ratio = 2:1, w/w) in the presence of EUG at pH 5.0 was achieved using mechanical homogenization alone (HM) or in combination with ultrasonic homogenization (HM-HUS). The HM-HUS treatment provided better solubility of CP (4.4-fold), increased emulsified EUG in film-forming solutions, and denser films than HM treatment. The composite films obtained using HM-HUS (FLMCHI-CP-EUG/HM-HUS) retained 1.2–1.4-fold higher EUG after drying, and showed almost 2-fold slower EUG release in air at room temperature than composite films prepared by HM, and control CHI films prepared by HM (FLMCHI-EUG/HM) or HM-HUS (FLMCHI-EUG/HM-HUS). The FLMCHI-CP-EUG/HM-HUS films also showed better moisture barrier and mechanical properties than other films. The developed films were proved in a challenging coating application with onions. Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua counts of inoculated and FLMCHI-CP-EUG/HM-HUS (average coating thickness = 4.5 ± 1.3 μm) coated onions were significantly lower than those of uncoated (2.8 and 3.8 log) and FLMCHI/HM-HUS (1.4 and 1.3 log) coated onions after 5-days at room temperature. FLMCHI-CP-EUG/HM-HUS coating also reduced percentage of sprouted onions from 30 to 10% during storage. EUG odor of coated onions could not have been detected by 80% of panelists after 4 weeks. Compositing with CP boosts the performance of essential oil loaded CHI films by enabling use of film matrix as an encapsulant. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

    Oxygen Delivery Biomaterials in Wound Healing Applications
    (WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2023) Bayraktar, Sema; Üstün, Cansu; Kehr, Nermin Seda
    Oxygen (O2) delivery biomaterials have attracted great interest in the treatment of chronic wounds due to their potential applications in local and continuous O2 generation and delivery, improving cell viability until vascularization occurs, promoting structural growth of new blood vessels, simulating collagen synthesis, killing bacteria and reducing hypoxia-induced tissue damage. Therefore, different types of O2 delivery biomaterials including thin polymer films, fibers, hydrogels, or nanocomposite hydrogels have been developed to provide controlled, sufficient and long-lasting O2 to prevent hypoxia and maintain cell viability until the engineered tissue is vascularized by the host system. These biomaterials are made by various approaches, such as encapsulating O2 releasing molecules into hydrogels, polymer microspheres and 3D printed hydrogel scaffolds and adsorbing O2 carrying reagents into polymer films of fibers. In this article, different O2 generating sources such as solid inorganic peroxides, liquid peroxides, and photosynthetic microalgae, and O2 carrying perfluorocarbons and hemoglobin are presented and the applications of O2 delivery biomaterials in promoting wound healing are discussed. Furthermore, challenges encountered and future perspectives are highlighted. Oxygen delivery (O2) biomaterials have attracted great interest in the treatment of chronic wounds due to their ability to continuously deliver oxygen and support cell viability. Therefore, various O2 generating sources such as solid inorganic peroxides, liquid peroxides and photosynthetic microalgae, and O2-carrying perfluorocarbons and hemoglobin are incorporated into different biomaterial networks for wound healing applications.image

    Development of a New Electrochemical Sensor Based on Molecularly Imprinted Biopolymer for Determination of 4,4'-methylene Diphenyl Diamine
    (MDPI, 2023) Ghaani, Masoud; Büyüktaş, Duygu; Carullo, Daniele; Farris, Stefano
    A new molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor was proposed to determine 4,4' methylene diphenyl diamine (MDA) using molecularly imprinted polymer-multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (MIP/MWCNTs/GCE). GCE was coated by MWCNTs (MWCNTs/GCE) because of their antifouling qualities and in order to improve the sensor sensitivity. To make the whole sensor, a polymeric film made up of chitosan nanoparticles was electrodeposited by the cyclic voltammetry method on the surface of MWCNTs/GCE in the presence of MDA as a template. Different parameters such as scan cycles, elution time, incubation time, molar ratio of template molecules to functional monomers, and pH were optimized to increase the performance of the MIP sensor. With a detection limit of 15 nM, a linear response to MDA was seen in the concentration range of 0.5-100 mu M. The imprinting factor (IF) of the proposed sensor was also calculated at around 3.66, demonstrating the extremely high recognition performance of a MIP/MWCNT-modified electrode. Moreover, the sensor exhibited good reproducibility and selectivity. Finally, the proposed sensor was efficiently used to determine MDA in real samples with satisfactory recoveries ranging from 94.10% to 106.76%.

    Development of Si Doped Nano Hydroxyapatite Reinforced Bilayer Chitosan Nanocomposite Barrier Membranes for Guided Bone Regeneration
    (Elsevier, 2021) Tamburacı, Sedef; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda
    Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a widely used process for the treatment of periodontal defects to prevent the formation of surrounding soft tissue at the periodontal defect and to provide hard tissue regeneration. Recently GBR designs have focused on the development of resorbable natural polymer-based barrier membranes due to their biodegradability and excellent biocompatibility. The aim of this study is to fabricate a novel bilayer nanocomposite membrane with microporous sublayer composed of chitosan and Si doped nanohydroxyapatite particles (Si-nHap) and chitosan/PEO nanofiber upper layer. Bilayer membrane was designed to prevent epithelial and fibroblastic cell migration and growth impeding bone formation with its upper layer and to support osteogenic cell bioactivity at the defect site with its sublayer. Microporous and nanofiber layers were fabricated by using freeze-drying and electrospinning techniques respectively. The effect of Si-nHap content on the morphological, mechanical and physical properties of the composites were investigated using SEM, AFM, micro-Ct, compression test, water uptake capacity and enzymatic degradation study. Antimicrobial properties of nanocomposite membranes were investigated with tube dilution and disk diffusion methods. In vitro cytotoxicity of bilayer membranes was evaluated. Saos-2 and NIH/3T3 proliferation studies were carried out on each layer. In vitro bioactivity of Saos-2 and NIH/3T3 cells were evaluated with ALP activity and hydroxyproline content respectively. Results showed that Si-nHap incorporation enhanced the mechanical and physical properties as well as controlling biodegradability of the polymer matrix. Besides, Si-nHap loading induced the bioactivity of Saos-2 cells by enhancing cell attachment, spreading and biomineralization on the material surface. Thus, results supported that designed bilayer nanocomposite membranes can be used as a potential biomaterial for guided bone regeneration in periodontal applications.

    Recent Advances in Chitosan-Based Systems for Delivery of Anticancer Drugs
    (Springer, 2020) Polat, Mehmet; Polat, Hürriyet
    Problems in transporting drug molecules to tumor sites in required dose or constitution lead to low efficacy and significant side effects. Shielding the drug molecules in micelles, liposomes, or nanoparticles is a major line of investigation to improve chemotherapeutic treatment. Though compatibility for proper envelopment of the drug and timely release at the tumor site are required of such a carrier, protecting its own physicochemical and morphological integrity during transport is another precondition. Because of its superior polymerization capability, biocompatibility, pH dependence, and charging characteristics, chitosan has been in the forefront of potential drug carriers. Numerous synthesis routes for chitosan-based nanocarriers have been suggested to the extent that a search of the literature published since 2000 with the keywords “novel + nano + chitosan” in the title results in 527 articles, indicating the bewildering quality and quantity of the new information. This review was carried out not only to peruse this large amount of work on chitosan-based anticancer drug delivery but also to extract manageable patterns from numerous synthesis routes. The main conclusion is that the synthesis methods suggested in literature can be combined into two main routes, and the degree of hydrophobicity of the drug determines which route should be followed. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2019.

    Bioactive Diatomite and Poss Silica Cage Reinforced Chitosan/Na-carboxymethyl Cellulose Polyelectrolyte Scaffolds for Hard Tissue Regeneration
    (Elsevier, 2019) Tamburacı, Sedef; Kimna, Ceren; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda
    Recently, natural polymers are reinforced with silica particles for hard tissue engineering applications to induce bone regeneration. In this study, as two novel bioactive agents, effects of diatomite and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) on chitosan (CS)/Na-carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC) polymer blend scaffolds are examined. In addition, the effect of silica reinforcements was compared with Si-substituted nano-hydroxyapatite (Si-Hap) particles. The morphology, physical and chemical structures of the scaffolds were characterized with SEM, liquid displacement, FT-IR, mechanical analysis, swelling and degradation studies. The particle size and the crystal structure of diatomite, POSS and Si-Hap particles were determined with DLS and XRD analyses. In vitro studies were performed to figure out the cytotoxicity, proliferation, ALP activity, osteocalcin production and biomineralization to demonstrate the promising use of natural silica particles in bone regeneration. Freeze-dried scaffolds showed 190-307 mu m pore size range and 61-70% porosity. Both inorganic reinforcements increased the mechanical strength, enhanced the water uptake capacity and fastened the degradation rate. The nanocomposite scaffolds did not show any cytotoxic effect and enhanced the surface mineralization in osteogenic medium. Thus, diatomite and POSS cage structures can be potential reinforcements for nanocomposite design in hard tissue engineering applications.

    Novel Phytochemical Cissus Quadrangularis Extract-Loaded Chitosan/Na-carboxymethyl Cellulose-Based Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration
    (SAGE Publications, 2018) Tamburacı, Sedef; Kimna, Ceren; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda
    Medicinal plants are attracting considerable interest as a potential therapeutic agent for bone tissue regeneration. Cissus quadrangularis L. is also a medicinal plant known with its osteogenic activity. In this study, a phytochemical scaffold was produced by incorporating Cissus quadrangularis with chitosan/Na-carboxymethyl cellulose blend by lyophilization technique. The effect of Cissus quadrangularis loading on the mechanical, morphological, chemical, and degradation properties as well as in vitro cytotoxicity, cell proliferation, and differentiation of the composites was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that porous Cissus quadrangularis-loaded scaffolds were obtained with an average pore size of 148-209 mu m which is appropriate for bone regeneration. Cissus quadrangularis incorporation enhanced the compression modulus of scaffolds from 76 to 654 kPa. In vitro cell culture results indicated that Cissus quadrangularis/chitosan/Na-carboxymethyl cellulose scaffolds provided a favorable substrate for the osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, and mineralization. Results supported the osteoinductive property of the Cissus quadrangularis extract-incorporated scaffolds even without osteogenic media supplement. Cissus quadrangularis extract increased the alkaline phosphatase activity of the SaOS-2 cells on scaffolds on 7th and 14th days of incubation. The investigation of characterization and cell culture studies suggest that Cissus quadrangularis-loaded osteoinductive Cissus quadrangularis/chitosan/Na-carboxymethyl cellulose scaffold can serve as a potential biomaterial for bone tissue engineering applications.

    Chitosan-Hybrid Poss Nanocomposites for Bone Regeneration: the Effect of Poss Nanocage on Surface, Morphology, Structure and in Vitro Bioactivity
    (Elsevier, 2020) Tamburacı, Sedef; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda
    POSS, regarded as the smallest silica particle, is widely used as nanofiller in polymer systems. POSS-based nanocomposites are deduced as novel materials having potency for biomedical applications owing to the enhanced biocompatibility and physicochemical characteristics. The aim of this work was to integrate the beneficial features of chitosan (CS) and OctaTMA-POSS nanoparticle to design nanocomposite for bone tissue regeneration. The nanocomposite scaffolds were fabricated by freeze-drying. The effects of POSS incorporation on morphology and structure of CS matrix were examined. Bioactivity and osteogenic effects of the POSS nanoparticles were investigated with cytocompatibility, cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, osteocalcin production and biomineralization assays. PUSS incorporation altered the surface morphology by increasing surface roughness. Nanocomposite scaffolds with 82-90% porosity exhibited an increase in compression modulus of scaffolds (78-107 kPa) compared to control CS group (56 kPa). Results indicated that CS-POSS scaffolds were found cytocompatible with 3T3, MG-63 and Saos-2 cell lines. POSS incorporation showed promising effects on osteoblast adhesion and proliferation as well as increasing ALP activity, octeocalcin secretion and biomineralization of cells. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

    Decontamination of Seeds Destined for Edible Sprout Production From Listeria by Using Chitosan Coating With Synergetic Lysozyme-Nisin Mixture
    (Elsevier, 2020) Sözbilen, Gözde Seval; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet
    This study aimed at decontamination of seeds destined for edible sprout production from Listeria using chitosan (CS) coatings incorporated with synergetic lysozyme-nisin (LYS-NIS) mixtures. Low molecular weight (LMW) CS coating showed the highest potency against Listeria innocua, followed by medium molecular weight (MMW) and high molecular weight (HMW) CSs. The LMW CS film with LYS-NIS also caused almost 1.5-fold greater log reduction (similar to 5 log) in initial L. innocua load of broth culture than MMW and HMW CS films with LYS-NIS within 6 days. Moreover, LMW CS coating with LYS-NIS reduced the initial Listeria loads of inoculated mung beans, lentils, and wheats by 3.3, 3.4 and 4.1 log, respectively. Antimicrobial coating did not affect seed germination rates considerably. The LYS-NIS addition increased yellowness and opacity of films, and caused limited changes in their mechanical and morphological properties. LMW CS coating with LYS-NIS reduces risk of listeriosis from sprouted seeds.

    Production and Characterization of a Novel Bilayer Nanocomposite Scaffold Composed of Chitosan/Si-nhap and Zein/Poss Structures for Osteochondral Tissue Regeneration
    (American Chemical Society, 2019) Tamburacı, Sedef; Çeçen, Berivan; Üstün, Özcan; Ergür, Bekir Uğur; Havıtçıoğlu, Hasan; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda
    Osteochondral tissue is hard to regenerate after injuries or degenerative diseases. Traditional treatments still have disadvantages, such as donor tissue availability, donor site morbidity, implant loss, and limited durability of prosthetics. Thus, recent studies have focused on tissue engineering strategies to regenerate osteochondral defects with different scaffold designs. Scaffolds have been developed from monolayer structures to bilayer scaffolds to repair the cartilage-bone interface and to support each tissue separately. In this study, Si-substituted nanohydroxyapatite particles (Si-nHap) and silica-based POSS nanocages were used as reinforcements in different polymer layers to mimic a cartilage-bone tissue interface. Chitosan and zein, which are widely used biopolymers, are used as polymer layers to mimic the structure. This study reports the development of a bilayer scaffold produced via fabrication of two different nanocomposite layers with different polymer-inorganic composites in order to satisfy the complex and diverse regenerative requirements of osteochondral tissue. The chitosan/Si-nHap microporous layer and the zein/POSS nanofiber layer were designed to mimic a bone-cartilage tissue interface. Bilayer scaffolds were characterized with SEM, compression, swelling, and biodegradation tests to determine morphological, physical, and mechanical properties. The results showed that the bilayer scaffold had a structure composed of microporous and nanofiber layers joined at a continuous interface with appropriate mechanical properties. Furthermore, in vitro cell culture studies have been performed with LDH, proliferation, fluorescence imaging, and ALP activity assays using osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma cell lines. ALP expression levels provide a good illustration of the improved osteogenic potential of a porous chitosan/Si-nHap layer due to the Si-doped nHap incorporation. Histological data showed that both fiber and porous layers that mimic the cartilage and bone sections exhibit homogeneous cell distribution and matrix formation. Histochemical staining was used to determine the cell proliferation and ECM formation on each layer. In vitro studies indicated that zein-POSS/chitosan/Si-nHap nanocomposite bilayer scaffolds showed promising results for osteochondral regeneration. Copyright © 2019 American Chemical Society.
