Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Potansiyel Doksorubisin Taşıyıcı Sistemi Olarak Peg-endozom Parçalayıcı Peptit Konjugatının Değerlendirilmesi(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2020) Şen, Selin; Top, AybenIn this study, it was aimed to develop a doxorubicin (DOX) carrier system based on a PEGylated TAT-derived cell penetrating peptide (G(2)RQR(3)QR(3)G(2)S) and to investigate drug release, self-assembly and stability properties of the carrier system. In the preparation of the drug delivery system, denoted as mPEG-peptide-oxime-DOX, methoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG) with M-n=1900 Da was used. DOX was attached to the mPEG-peptide carrier system via acid cleavable oxime bond. Control drug delivery system, lack of the peptide (mPEG-oxime-DOX) was also synthesized to assess the effect of the peptide on the physicochemical and DOX release properties of the carrier system. mPEG-oxime-DOX exhibited a pH programmed DOX release with respective % DOX release values of similar to 68% and similar to 28% at pH 5.0 and at pH 7.4 at the end of 54 h. For the mPEG-peptide-oxime-DOX, on the other hand, quite low DOX release (similar to 10-15 %) was observed for both pH values suggesting possible interactions between DOX and the peptide. Initial median size value (D50) of the mPEG-oxime-DOX was measured as similar to 24 nm, independent of pH. However, for the mPEG-peptide-oxime-DOX, quite lower D50 values (similar to 3 nm and similar to 6 nm at pH 5.0 and pH 7.4, respectively) were obtained due to the repulsions between the arginines in the peptide sequence. Sizes of both drug delivery systems, tended to increase upon incubation at physiological conditions for 1 day suggesting that longer PEG chains should be used to enhance the stability of the mPEG-peptide-oxime-DOX and mPEG-oximeDOX systems.Article Citation - WoS: 1İnsan Kolon Kanseri Hücrelerine Karşı İnorganik Nanopartikül-temelli İlaç Taşıyıcı Sistemlerin Kullanılması: Partikül Büyüklüğünün Antikanser Aktivitesine Etkisi(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2020) Dağlıoğlu, CenkToday's nanoparticle technology enables the synthesis of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems with desired size, shape, and materials especially for the applications of cancer nanomedicine. Thereby, understanding impact of particle sizes on anticancer activity will contribute to development of new drug delivery systems in cancer therapy. For this reason, in this study, two different sized nanoparticles (with -55 and 314 nm) were used as drug delivery systems and the effects of their size on the cellular uptake, cytotoxicity and apoptosis were investigated against the human colon carcinoma Caco-2 and HCT-116 cells. The results demonstrated that small nanoparticles promoted fast nanoparticle accumulation in both cancer cells in comparison to large particles. Small nanoparticles exhibited higher cytotoxicity in cancer cells with lower half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values than large nanoparticles in 48 h. On the other hand, both nanoparticles showed similar IC50 values after 72 h prolonged exposure. Moreover, it was found that small nanoparticles increased the number of apoptotic cells in 24 h, whereas large nanoparticles induced apoptosis when exposure time increased to 72 h. These observations show that small sized drug delivery systems could be more efficient for improving the anticancer effects of chemotherapeutic drugs against human colon carcinoma as compared to large sized drug delivery systems.
