Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 6Immobilization of Olive Leaf Extract With Chitosan Nanoparticles as an Adjunct To Enhance Cytotoxicity(American Chemical Society, 2023) Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Sürmeli, Yusuf; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyWe immobilized the olive leaf extract (OLE) with chitosannanoparticles(CNPs) by optimizing the effect of various immobilization conditions,and OLE-loaded CNPs (OLE-CNPs) were then elaborately characterizedphysicochemically by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforminfrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), andatomic force microscopy (AFM). Under optimal conditions, CNPs wereable to accommodate the OLE with a loading capacity of 97.5%. Theresulting OLE-CNPs had a spherical morphology, and their average diameterwas approximately 100 nm. The cytotoxic influence, cell cycle distribution,and apoptosis stage of OLE and OLE-CNPs were analyzed on lung carcinoma(A549) and breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines. In an in vitrocytotoxic assay, IC50 values of OLE-CNPs were determinedto be 540 & mu;g/mL for A549 and 810 & mu;g/mL for MCF-7. Thetreatment of both A549 and MCF-7 with OLE-CNPs caused the highestcell arrest in G0/G1 in a dose-independent manner. OLE-CNPs affectedcell cycle distribution in a manner different from free OLE treatmentin both cancer cells. A549 and MCF-7 cells were predominantly foundin the late apoptosis and necrosis phases, respectively, upon treatmentof 1000 & mu;M OLE-CNPs. Our results suggest that CNPs enhance theutility of OLEs as nutraceuticals in cancer and that OLE-CNPs canbe utilized as an adjunct to cancer therapy.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 15In Vitro Evaluation of Doxorubicin-Incorporated Magnetic Albumin Nanospheres(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2014) Zeybek, Ayça; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Yılmaz, Habibe; Şanlıer, Şenay H.; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyMagnetic 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.
