    Although chitosan nanoparticles (CNs) became a promising tool for several biological and medical applications owing to their inherent biocompatibility and biodegrability, studies regarding their effects on cytotoxicity and cytostatic properties still remain insufficient. Therefore, in the present study, we decided to perform comprehensive analysis of the interactions between CNs – pKindling-Red-Mito (pDNA) and different cell line models derived from blood system and human solid tissues cancers. The resulting CNs-pDNA was investigated with regard to their physical-chemical properties, cellular uptake and transfection efficiency, cytotoxic and cytostatic properties. The nanoparticles showed high encapsulation efficiency and physical stability even after 2 days for various formulations. Moreover, high gene expression levels were observed already 96 h after transfection. CNs-pDNA treatment, despite the absence of oxidative stress induction, caused cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase and as consequence led to premature senescence, which turned out to be both, p21-dependent and p21-independent. Also, observed DNMT2 upregulation may suggest the activation of different pathways protecting from the resulting CNs-mediated stress. In conclusion, treatment of different cell lines with CNs-pDNA showed that their biocompatibility was limited and effects were cell type-dependent.

    Immobilization of Thermophilic Recombinant Esterase Enzyme by Microencapsulation in Alginate-chitosan/Caci2 Polyelectrolyte Beads
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2011) Tercan, Cisem; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In recent years, enzyme immobilization has gained importance for design of artificial organs, drug delivery systems, and several biosensors. Polysaccharide based natural biopolymers used in enzyme or cell immobilization represent a major class of biomaterials which includes agarose, alginate, dextran, and chitosan. Especially, chitosan has used many biomedical applications, including tissue engineering, because of its biodegradability and biocompatibility, non-toxicity and degradation in the body. In this research, Recombinant esterase enzyme was purified from Thermophilic Bacillus sp. That was isolated from Balçova (Agamemnon) Geothermal region in İzmir by using one-step affinity purification chromatography. In the second step, purified enzyme encapsulated in alginate-chitosan/CaCl2 polyelectrolyte beads that were prepared by adding dropwise a protein-containing sodium alginate mixture into a chitosan-CaCl2 crosslinker solution. And then the polyelectrolyte beads were stabilized in at the same crosslinker solution 30 minutes more. In the third step, the effect of different conditions were tested such as temperature and pH, bead diameter, reuse of beads. Also the effects of inhibition of CaCl2, ZnCl2, MgCl2, CuSO4, MgSO4, Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and Triton X-100 onto the immobilized and free enzyme activity were studied. In the last step, analysis of surface morphologies of polyelectrolyte beads were determined and examined by means of Scanning Electron Microscope.
