Article Citation - WoS: 43Citation - Scopus: 46Glucuronoxylan-Based Quince Seed Hydrogel: a Promising Scaffold for Tissue Engineering Applications(Elsevier, 2021) Güzelgülgen, Meltem; Özkendir İnanç, Dilce; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Arslan Yıldız, AhuNatural gums and mucilages from plant-derived polysaccharides are potential candidates for a tissue-engineering scaffold by their ability of gelation and biocompatibility. Herein, we utilized Glucuron-oxylanbased quince seed hydrogel (QSH) as a scaffold for tissue engineering applications. Optimization of QSH gelation was conducted by varying QSH and crosslinker glutaraldehyde (GTA) concentrations. Structural characterization of QSH was done by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (MR). Furthermore, morphological and mechanical investigation of QSH was performed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The protein adsorption test revealed the suitability of QSH for cell attachment. Biocompatibility of QSH was confirmed by culturing NIH-3T3 mouse fibroblast cells on it. Cell viability and proliferation results revealed that optimum parameters for cell viability were 2 mg mi(-1)of QSH and 0.03 M GTA. SEM and DAPI staining results indicated the formation of spheroids with a diameter of approximately 300 pm. Furthermore, formation of extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment was confirmed with the Collagen Type-I staining. Here, it was demonstrated that the fabricated QSH is a promising scaffold for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering applications provided by its highly porous structure, remarkable swelling capacity and high biocompatibility.

Here, PVA used as co-spinning agent since propolis alone cannot be easily processed by electrospinning methodology. Propolis takes charge in maximizing biological aspect of scaffold to facilitate cell attachment and proliferation. Morphological analysis showed size of the electrospun nanofibers varied between 172-523 nm and 345-687 nm in diameter, for non-crosslinked and crosslinked scaffolds, respectively. Incorporation of propolis resulted in desired surface properties of hybrid matrix, where hybrid scaffolds highly favored protein adsorption. To examine cell compatibility, NIH-3T3 and HeLa cells were seeded on propolis/PVA hybrid scaffold. Results confirmed that integration of propolis supported cell adhesion and cell proliferation. Also, results indicated electrospun propolis/PVA hybrid scaffold provide suitable microenvironment for cell culturing. Therefore, developed hybrid scaffold could be considered as potential candidate for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11A New Drug Testing Platform Based on 3d Tri-Culture in Lab-On Devices(Elsevier, 2020) Gökçe, Begüm; Akçok, İsmail; Çağır, Ali; Pesen Okvur, DevrimDrug discovery has a 90% rate of failure because preclinical platforms for drug testing do not mimic the in vivo conditions. Doxorubicin (DOX) is a commonly used drug to treat breast cancer patients even though it has side effects. Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices provide spatial control at the micrometer scale and can thus emulate the cancer microenvironment. Here, using a multidisciplinary approach, a new drug testing platform based on 3D tri-culture in LOC devices was developed. Breast cancer cells alone or with normal mammary epithelial cells and macrophages were cultured in matrigel in LOC devices. The platform was used to test DOX and (R)-4'-methylklavuzon (KLA), which is a new anti-cancer drug candidate. Results showed that DOX and KLA were equally effective on breast cancer cells in 3D monoculture. KLA produced 26% less death for breast cancer cells than DOX in 3D tri-culture. More importantly, DOX was not selective between breast cancer cells and normal mammary epithelial cells in 3D tri- culture whereas KLA caused 56% less cell death than DOX for normal mammary epithelial cells. Results strongly recommend that 3D tri-culture in LOC devices be used for assessment of drug toxicity at the preclinical stage.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 36Biomimetic Hybrid Scaffold Consisting of Co-Electrospun Collagen and Pllcl for 3d Cell Culture(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Türker, Esra; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Arslan Yıldız, AhuElectrospun collagen is commonly used as a scaffold in tissue engineering applications since it mimics the content and morphology of native extracellular matrix (ECM) well. This report describes "toxic solvent free" fabrication of electrospun hybrid scaffold consisting of Collagen (Col) and Poly(L-lactide-co-epsilon-caprolactone) (PLLCL) for three-dimensional (3D) cell culture. Biomimetic hybrid scaffold was fabricated via co-spinning approach where simultaneous electrospinning of PLLCL and Collagen was mediated by polymer sacrificing agent Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Acidified aqueous solution of PVP was used to solubilize collagen without using toxic solvents for electrospinning, and then PVP was readily removed by rinsing in water. Mechanical characterizations, protein adsorption, as well as biodegradation analysis have been conducted to investigate feasibility of biomimetic hybrid scaffold for 3D cell culture applications. Electrospun biomimetic hybrid scaffold, which has 3D-network structure with 300-450 nm fiber diameters, was found to be maximizing cell adhesion through assisting NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells. 3D cell culture studies confirmed that presence of collagen in biomimetic hybrid scaffold have created a major impact on cell proliferation compared to conventional 2D systems on long-term, also cell viability increased with the increasing amount of collagen.

Özellikle doku mühendisliğinde amaç, çalışılacak doku üzerine doğal veya sentetik destek materyali (iskele) üreterek hücrenin uyum sağlayabileceği bir ortam oluşturmaktır. Bu projenin amacı üç boyutlu (3D) hücre kültürü çalışmaları için elektro-eğirme-metodu ile poli(L-laktik-co-epsilon-kaprolakton) (PLLCL) kullanılarak iskele üretilmesidir. Homojen lifler ve uygun gözenek boyutu elde etmek amacıyla optimizasyon çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Elde edilen liflerin çapı, akış hızı ve voltajın artmasıyla azalmaktadır. Taramalı uç elektron mikroskop incelemeleri (SEM) lif morfolojik yapılarının doku iskelesi fabrikasyonu için ideale yakın olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Crm1 Inhibitory and Antiproliferative Activities of Novel 4'-alkyl Substituted Klavuzon Derivatives(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Kanbur, Tuğçe; Kara, Murat; Kutluer, Meltem; Şen, Ayhan; Delman, Murat; Alkan, Aylin; Otaş, Hasan Ozan; Akçok, İsmail; Çağır, AliKlavuzons are 6-(naphthalen-1-yl) substituted 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one derivatives showing promising antiproliferative activities in variety of cancer cell lines. In this work, racemic syntheses of nine novel 4′-alkyl substituted klavuzon derivatives were completed in eight steps and anticancer properties of these compounds were evaluated. It is found that size of the substituent has dramatic effect over the potency and selectivity of the cytotoxic activity in cancerous and healthy pancreatic cell lines. The size of the substituent can also effect the CRM1 inhibitory properties of klavuzon derivatives. Strong cytotoxic activity and CRM1 inhibition can be observed only when a small substituent present at 4′-position of naphthalen-1-yl group. However, these substituents makes the molecule more cytotoxic in healthy pancreatic cells rather than cancerous pancreatic cells. Among the tested compounds 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrophenanthren-9-yl substituted lactone was the most cytotoxic compound and its antiproliferative activity was also tested in 3D spheroids generated from HuH-7 cell lines.
