Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4Identifying Factors Controlling Cellular Uptake of Gold Nanoparticles by Machine Learning(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2023) Bilgi, Eyüp; Winkler, David A.; Öksel Karakuş, CeydaThere is strong interest to improve the therapeutic potential of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) while ensuring their safe development. The utility of GNPs in medicine requires a molecular-level understanding of how GNPs interact with biological systems. Despite considerable research efforts devoted to monitoring the internalisation of GNPs, there is still insufficient understanding of the factors responsible for the variability in GNP uptake in different cell types. Data-driven models are useful for identifying the sources of this variability. Here, we trained multiple machine learning models on 2077 data points for 193 individual nanoparticles from 59 independent studies to predict cellular uptake level of GNPs and compared different algorithms for their efficacies of prediction. The five ensemble learners (Xgboost, random forest, bootstrap aggregation, gradient boosting, light gradient boosting machine) made the best predictions of GNP uptake, accounting for 80-90% of the variance in the test data. The models identified particle size, zeta potential, GNP concentration and exposure duration as the most important drivers of cellular uptake. We expect this proof-of-concept study will foster the more effective use of accumulated cellular uptake data for GNPs and minimise any methodological bias in individual studies that may lead to under- or over-estimation of cellular internalisation rates.Review Citation - WoS: 69Nanoparticle-Protein Corona Complex: Understanding Multiple Interactions Between Environmental Factors, Corona Formation, and Biological Activity(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2021) Tomak, Aysel; Tomak, Aysel; Çesmeli, Selin; Öksel Karakuş, Ceyda; Hanoglu, Bercem D.; Winkler, David; Oksel Karakus, CeydaThe surfaces of pristine nanoparticles become rapidly coated by proteins in biological fluids, forming the so-called protein corona. The corona modifies key physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticle surfaces that modulate its biological and pharmacokinetic activity, biodistribution, and safety. In the two decades since the protein corona was identified, the importance of nanoparticles surface properties in regulating biological responses have been recognized. However, there is still a lack of clarity about the relationships between physiological conditions and corona composition over time, and how this controls biological activities/interactions. Here we review recent progress in characterizing the structure and composition of protein corona as a function of biological fluid and time. We summarize the influence of nanoparticle characteristics on protein corona composition and discuss the relevance of protein corona to the biological activity and fate of nanoparticles. The aim is to provide a critical summary of the key factors that affect protein corona formation (e.g. characteristics of nanoparticles and biological environment) and how the corona modulates biological activity, cellular uptake, biodistribution, and drug delivery. In addition to a discussion on the importance of the characterization of protein corona adsorbed on nanoparticle surfaces under conditions that mimic relevant physiological environment, we discuss the unresolved technical issues related to the characterization of nanoparticle-protein corona complexes during their journey in the body. Lastly, the paper offers a perspective on how the existing nanomaterial toxicity data obtained from in vitro studies should be reconsidered in the light of the presence of a protein corona, and how recent advances in fields, such as proteomics and machine learning can be integrated into the quantitative analysis of protein corona components.
