Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Development of Plant-Based Biopolymer Coatings for 3d Cell Culture: Boron-Silica Quince Seed Mucilage Nanocomposites(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023) Yılmaz, Hilal Deniz; Cengiz, Uğur; Derkuş, Burak; Arslan, Yavuz Emre; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologySpheroid formation with spontaneous aggregation has captured interest in most cell culture studies due to its easy set-up and more reliable results. However, the economic and technical costs of the advanced systems and commercial ultra-low adhesive platforms have pushed researchers into pursuing alternatives. Nowadays, polymeric coatings, including poly-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and agar/agarose, are the commonly used polymers for non-adhesive plate fabrication, yet the costs and working solvent or heat-dependent preparation procedures maintain the need for the development of novel biomaterials. Here, we propose a greener and more economical approach for producing non-adherent surfaces and spheroid formation. For this, a plant waste-based biopolymer from quince fruit (Cydonia oblonga Miller, from Rosaceae family) seeds and boron-silica precursors were introduced. The unique water-holding capacity of quince seed mucilage (Q) was enriched with silanol and borate groups to form bioactive and hydrophilic nanocomposite overlays for spheroid studies. Moreover, 3D gel plates from the nanocomposite material were fabricated and tested in vitro as a proof-of-concept. The surface properties of coatings and the biochemical and mechanical properties of the nanocomposite materials were evaluated in-depth with techniques, and extra hydrophilic coatings were obtained. Three different cell lines were cultured on these nanocomposite surfaces, and spheroid formation with increased cellular viability was recorded on day 3 with a >200 & mu;m spheroid size. Overall, Q-based nanocomposites are believed to be a fantastic alternative for non-adherent surface fabrication due to their low-cost, easy operation, and intrinsic hydration layer forming capacity with biocompatible nature in vitro.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 33Folic Acid Modified Clay/Polymer Nanocomposites for Selective Cell Adhesion(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014) Barlas, Fırat Barış; Ağ Şeleci, Didem; Özçelik, Serdar; Demir, Bilal; Şeleci, Muharrem; Aydın, Muhammed; Taşdelen, M. A.; Zareie, Hadi M.; Timur, Suna; Özçelik, Serdar; Yağcı, Yusuf; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA folic acid (FA) modified poly(epsilon-caprolactone)/clay nanocomposite (PCL/MMT-(CH2CH2OH)2-FA) resulting in selective cell adhesion and proliferation was synthesized and characterized as a cell culture and biosensing platform. For this purpose, first the FA modified clay (MMT-(CH2CH2OH)2-FA) was prepared by treating the organo-modified clay, Cloisite 30B [MMT-(CH2CH 2OH)2] with FA in chloroform at 60°C. Subsequent ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone in the presence of tin octoate (Sn(Oct)2) using MMT-(CH2CH2OH)2-FA at 110°C resulted in the formation of MMT-(CH2CH 2OH)2-FA with an exfoliated clay structure. The structures of intermediates and the final nanocomposite were investigated in detail by FT-IR spectral analysis and DSC, TGA, XRD, SEM and AFM measurements. The combination of FA, PCL and clay provides a simple and versatile route to surfaces that allows controlled and selective cell adhesion and proliferation. FA receptor-positive HeLa and negative A549 cells were used to prove the selectivity of the modified surfaces. Both microscopy and electrochemical sensing techniques were applied to show the differences in cell adherence on the modified and pristine clay platforms. This approach is expected to be adapted into various bio-applications such as 'cell culture on chip', biosensors and design of tools for targeted diagnosis or therapy.
