Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 40Biomedical Nanomaterials: Applications, Toxicological Concerns, and Regulatory Needs(Informa Healthcare, 2020) Öksel Karakuş, Ceyda; Bilgi, Eyüp; Winkler, DavidAdvances in cutting-edge technologies such as nano- and biotechnology have created an opportunity for re-engineering existing materials and generating new nano-scale products that can function beyond the limits of conventional ones. While the step change in the properties and functionalities of these new materials opens up new possibilities for a broad range of applications, it also calls for structural modifications to existing safety assessment processes that are primarily focused on bulk material properties. Decades after the need to modify existing risk management practices to include nano-specific behaviors and exposure pathways was recognized, relevant policies for evaluating, and controlling health risks of nano-enabled materials is still lacking. This review provides an overview of current progress in the field of nanobiotechnology rather than intentions and aspirations, summarizes long-recognized but still unresolved issues surrounding materials safety at the nanoscale, and discusses key barriers preventing generation and integration of reliable data in bio/nano-safety domain. Particular attention is given to nanostructured materials that are commonly used in biomedical applications. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 15Improved Viability of Lactobacillus Acidophilus Nrrl-B 4495 During Freeze-Drying in Whey Protein-Pullulan Microcapsules(Informa Healthcare, 2015) Çabuk, Burcu; Tellioğlu Harsa, ŞebnemIn this research, pullulan was incorporated in protein-based encapsulation matrix in order to assess its cryoprotective effect on the viability of freeze-dried (FD) probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus NRRL-B 4495. This study demonstrated that pullulan in encapsulation matrix resulted in a 90.4% survival rate as compared to 88.1% for whey protein (WPI) encapsulated cells. The protective effects of pullulan on the survival of FD-encapsulated cells in gastrointestinal conditions were compared. FD WPI-pullulan capsules retained higher survived cell numbers (7.10 log CFU/g) than those of FD WPI capsules (6.03 log CFU/g) after simulated gastric juice exposure. Additionally, use of pullulan resulted in an increased viability after bile exposure. FD-free bacteria exhibited 2.18 log CFU/g reduction, while FD WPI and FD WPI-pullulan encapsulated bacteria showed 0.95 and 0.49 log CFU/g reduction after 24 h exposure to bile solution, respectively. Morphology of the FD microcapsules was visualized by scanning electron microscopy. © 2015 Informa UK Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Changes in Protein Profiles of Multiple Myeloma Cells in Response To Bortezomib(Informa Healthcare, 2013) Turan, Taylan; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Baran, YusufThe objective of this study was to determine the changes in protein profiles of U-266 multiple myeloma cells in response to bortezomib. Bortezomib inhibited cell proliferation and increased the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and caspase-3 activity in a dose-dependent manner. DECODON Delta2D Version 4.3 software demonstrated 37 differentially expressed protein spots: five proteins were newly formed, 10 proteins were lost, 12 proteins were up-regulated and 10 proteins were down-regulated in bortezomib-treated cells as compared to untreated cells. Some of the identified proteins after mass spectrometric analysis were as follows: apoptosis regulatory protein Siva (newly formed), caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 14 (lost), Ras-related protein Rab-25 (up-regulated), nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) p105 subunit (down-regulated). In summary, differentially expressed proteins of MM U-266 cells in response to bortezomib were analyzed and identified. The data obtained from this study may indicate the use of bortezomib for the treatment of various diseases.
