    Investigation of the Biocompatibility of Various Pulp Capping Materials on Zebrafish Model
    (Public Library Science, 2024) Karahan, Meltem; Eliacik, Bahar Basak Kiziltan; Cagiral, Umut; Iscan, Evin; Ozhan, Gunes
    Testing the biocompatibility of commercially available dental materials is a major challenge in dental material science. In the present study, the biocompatibility of four commercially available dental materials Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, Biodentine, Harvard BioCal-CAP and Oxford ActiveCal PC was investigated. The biocompatibility analysis was performed on zebrafish embryos and larvae using standard toxicity tests such as survivability and hatching rates. Comparative toxicity analysis of toxicity was performed by measuring apoptosis using acridine orange dye and whole mount immunofluorescence methods on zebrafish larvae exposed to the dental materials at different dilutions. Toxicity analysis showed a significant decrease in survival and hatching rates with increasing concentration of exposed materials. The results of the apoptosis assay with acridine orange showed greater biocompatibility of Biodentine, Oxford ActiveCal PC, Harvard BioCal-CAP and Biodentine compared to MTA, which was concentration dependent. Consequently, this study has shown that showed resin-modified calcium silicates are more biocompatible than traditional calcium silicates.

    Phenotypically Plastic Drug-Resistant Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia Cell Line Displays Enhanced Cellular Dynamics in a Zebrafish Xenograft Model
    (Wiley, 2024) Baykal, Seda; Yuce, Zeynep; Ozhan, Gunes
    Understanding the mechanisms by which cancer cells switch between different adaptive states and evade therapeutic interventions is essential for clinical management. In this study, the in vivo cellular dynamics of a new chronic myeloid leukaemia cell line displaying altered phenotype and resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors were investigated in correlation with their parental cells for invasiveness/metastasis, angiogenic potential and population kinetics. We showed that the cells exhibiting drug resistance and plastic phenotype possess an increased capacity for invasion compared to their parental cells, that exposure to imatinib mesylate has the potential to enhance cellular motility and that in a leukaemic cell population, even a minority of plastic cells exhibit improved migratory ability. Furthermore, we show that these plastic cells have angiogenic and extravasation potential. The present study provides significant insights into the cellular dynamics displayed by a TKI-resistant, phenotypically plastic CML cell line, using a zebrafish (Danio rerio) xenograft model.
