    Her2-Targeted, Degradable Core Cross-Linked Micelles for Specific and Dual Ph-Sensitive Dox Release
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022) Bayram, N.N.; Ulu, G.T.; Topuzoğulları, M.; Baran, Y.; Dinçer, İşoğlu, S.
    Here, a targeted, dual-pH responsive, and stable micelle nanocarrier is designed, which specifically selects an HER2 receptor on breast cancer cells. Intracellularly degradable and stabilized micelles are prepared by core cross-linking via reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization with an acid-sensitive cross-linker followed by the conjugation of maleimide–doxorubicin to the pyridyl disulfide-modified micelles. Multifunctional nanocarriers are obtained by coupling HER2-specific peptide. Formation of micelles, addition of peptide and doxorubicin (DOX) are confirmed structurally by spectroscopical techniques. Size and morphological characterization are performed by Zetasizer and transmission electron microscope (TEM). For the physicochemical verification of the synergistic acid-triggered degradation induced by acetal and hydrazone bond degradation, Infrared spectroscopy and particle size measurements are used. Drug release studies show that DOX release is accelerated at acidic pH. DOX-conjugated HER2-specific peptide-carrying nanocarriers significantly enhance cytotoxicity toward SKBR-3 cells. More importantly, no selectivity toward MCF-10A cells is observed compared to HER2(+) SKBR-3 cells. Formulations cause apoptosis depending on Bax and Caspase-3 and cell cycle arrest in G2 phase. This study shows a novel system for HER2-targeted therapy of breast cancer with a multifunctional nanocarrier, which has higher stability, dual pH-sensitivity, selectivity, and it can be an efficient way of targeted anticancer drug delivery. © 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbH

    Cascade Therapy With Doxorubicin and Survivin-Targeted Tailored Nanoparticles: an Effective Alternative for Sensitization of Cancer Cells To Chemotherapy
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Dağlıoğlu, Cenk; Kacı, Fatma Necmiye
    Chemotherapy frequently involves combination treatment protocols to maximize tumor cell killing. Unfortunately these intensive chemotherapeutic regimes, often show disappointing results due to the development of drug resistance and higher nonspecific toxicity on normal tissues. In cancer treatment, it is critically important to minimize toxicity while preserving efficacy. We have previously addressed this issue and proposed a nanoparticle-based combination therapy involving both a molecularly targeted therapy and chemotherapeutic agent for neutralizing antiapoptotic survivin (BIRC5) to potentiate the efficacy of doxorubicin (DOX). Although the particles exhibited strong anticancer effect on the lung carcinoma A549 and the cervical carcinoma HeLa cells, there were lower-level therapeutic outcomes on the colon carcinoma HCT-116, the leukemia Jurkat and the pancreatic carcinoma MIA PaCa-2 cells. Since targeted therapies are one of the key approaches for overcoming drug resistance, tailoring the treatment of cancer cells with distinct characteristics is necessary to improve the therapeutic outcome of cancer therapy and to minimize potential pharmacokinetic interactions of drugs. In the light of this issue, this study examined whether a cascade therapy with low-dose DOX and survivin-targeted tailored nanoparticles is more effective at sensitizing HCT-116, Jurkat and MIA PaCa-2 cancer cells to DOX-chemotherapy than simultaneous combination therapy. The results demonstrated that the sequential therapy with the protocol comprising addition of the nanoparticles after incubation of cells with DOX clearly advanced the therapeutic outcome of related cancer cells, whereas the reverse protocol resulted in a reduction or delay in apoptosis, emphasizing the critical importance of formulating synergistic drug combinations in cancer therapy.

    Synthesis and Characterization of Aicar and Dox Conjugated Multifunctional Nanoparticles as a Platform for Synergistic Inhibition of Cancer Cell Growth
    (American Chemical Society, 2016) Dağlıoğlu, Cenk; Okutucu, Burcu
    The success of cancer treatment depends on the response to chemotherapeutic agents. However, malignancies often acquire resistance to drugs if they are used frequently. Combination therapy involving both a chemotherapeutic agent and molecularly targeted therapy may have the ability to retain and enhance therapeutic efficacy. Here, we addressed this issue by examining the efficacy of a novel therapeutic strategy that combines AICAR and DOX within a multifunctional platform. In this context, we reported the bottom-up synthesis of Fe3O4@SiO2(FITC)-FA/AICAR/DOX multifunctional nanoparticles aiming to neutralize survivin (BIRC5) to potentiate the efficacy of DOX against chemoresistance. The structure of nanoparticles was characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta-potential measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and electron microscopy (SEM and STEM with EDX) techniques. Cellular uptake and cytotoxicity experiments demonstrated preferentially targeted delivery of nanoparticles and an efficient reduction of cancer cell viability in five different tumor-derived cell lines (A549, HCT-116, HeLa, Jurkat, and MIA PaCa-2). These results indicate that the multifunctional nanoparticle system possesses high inhibitory drug association and sustained cytotoxic effect with good biocompatibility. This novel approach which combines AICAR and DOX within a single platform might be promising as an antitumor treatment for cancer.

    High-Copy Overexpression Screening Reveals Pdr5 as the Main Doxorubicin Resistance Gene in Yeast
    (Public Library of Science, 2015) Demir, Ayşe Banu; Koç, Ahmet
    Doxorubicin is one of the most potent anticancer drugs used in the treatment of various cancer types. The efficacy of doxorubicin is influenced by the drug resistance mechanisms and its cytotoxicity. In this study, we performed a high-copy screening analysis to find genes that play a role in doxorubicin resistance and found several genes (CUE5, AKL1, CAN1, YHR177W and PDR5) that provide resistance. Among these genes, overexpression of PDR5 provided a remarkable resistance, and deletion of it significantly rendered the tolerance level for the drug. Q-PCR analyses suggested that transcriptional regulation of these genes was not dependent on doxorubicin treatment. Additionally, we profiled the global expression pattern of cells in response to doxorubicin treatment and highlighted the genes and pathways that are important in doxorubicin tolerance/toxicity. Our results suggest that many efflux pumps and DNA metabolism genes are upregulated by the drug and required for doxorubicin tolerance.

    In Vitro Evaluation of Doxorubicin-Incorporated Magnetic Albumin Nanospheres
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2014) Zeybek, Ayça; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Ak, Güliz; Yılmaz, Habibe; Şanlıer, Şenay H.
    Magnetic albumin nanospheres that incorporate doxorubicin (M-DOX-BSA-NPs) were prepared previously by our research group to develop magnetically responsive drug carrier system. This nanocarrier was synthesized as a drug delivery system for targeted chemotherapy. In this work, cytotoxic effects of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded/unloaded or magnetic/non-magnetic nanoparticles and free DOX against PC-3 cells and A549 cells were determined with the MTT test and the results were compared with each other. DOX-loaded magnetic albumin nanospheres (M-DOX-BSA-NPs) were found more cytotoxic than other formulations. The quantitative data obtained from flow cytometry analysis further verified the higher targeting and killing ability of M-DOX-BSA-NPs than free DOX on both of the cancer cell lines. Additionally, the results of cell cycle analysis have showed that M-DOX-BSA-NPs affected G1 and G2 phases. Finally, cell images were obtained using spin-disk confocal microscopy, and cellular uptake of M-DOX-BSA-NPs was visualized. The findings of this study suggest that M-DOX-BSA-NPs represent a potential doxorubicin delivery system for targeted drug transport into prostate and lung cancer cells. In this study, we found that M-DOX-BSA-NPs provide many advantages as targeted drug delivery, enhanced drug killing ability and bioavailability based on cytotoxicity, flow cytometry, and confocal microscopy image results.

    Upregulation of Multi Drug Resistance Genes in Doxorubicin Resistant Human Acute Myelogeneous Leukemia Cells and Reversal of the Resistance
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2007) Baran, Yusuf; Gür, Bala; Kaya, Pelin; Ural, Ali Uğur; Avcu, Ferit; Gündüz, Ufuk
    The major problem in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients results from multidrug resistance to administered anticancer agents. Drug resistance proteins, MDR1 and MRP1, which work as drug efflux pumps, can mediate the multidrug resistance of human leukemia cells. In this study, the mechanisms of resistance to doxorubicin-induced cell death in human HL60 AML cells were examined. Continuous exposure of cells to step-wise increasing concentrations of doxorubicin resulted in the selection of HL60/DOX cells, which expressed about 10.7-fold resistance as compared to parental sensitive cells. The expression analyses of MRP1 and MDR1 drug efflux proteins in doxorubicin-sensitive and -resistant HL60 cells revealed that there was an upregulation of MRP1 gene in HL60/DOX cells as compared to parental sensitive cells. On the other hand, while there was no expression of MDR1 gene in parental cells, the expression of MDR1 gene was upregulated in HL60/DOX cells. HL60/DOX cells also showed cross-resistance to cytosine arabinoside (Ara-c). This resistance was reversed by a combination therapy of Ara-c and cyclosporine A. However, the expression levels of CD15 and CD16 surface markers were significantly decreased in HL60/DOX cells.
