Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Invasion/Chemotaxis- and Extravasation-Chip Models for Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis(Public Library Science, 2024) Firatligil-Yildirir, Burcu; Bati-Ayaz, Gizem; Nonappa, Devrim; Pesen-Okvur, Devrim; Yalcin-Ozuysal, OzdenBone is one of the most frequently targeted organs in metastatic cancers including the breast. Breast cancer bone metastasis often results in devastating outcomes as limited treatment options are currently available. Therefore, innovative methods are needed to provide earlier detection and thus better treatment and prognosis. Here, we present a new approach to model bone-like microenvironments to detect invasion and extravasation of breast cancer cells using invasion/chemotaxis (IC-) and extravasation (EX-) chips, respectively. Our results show that the behaviors of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells on IC- and EX-chip models correlate with their in vivo metastatic potential. Our culture model constitutes cell lines representing osteoblasts, bone marrow stromal cells, and monocytes embedded in three-dimensional (3D) collagen I-based extracellular matrices of varying composition and stiffness. We show that collagen I offers a better bone-like environment for bone cells and matrix composition and stiffness regulate the invasion of breast cancer cells. Using in situ contactless rheological measurements under cell culture conditions, we show that the presence of cells increased the stiffness values of the matrices up to 1200 Pa when monitored for five days. This suggests that the cellular composition has a significant effect on regulating matrix mechanical properties, which in turn contribute to the invasiveness. The platforms we present here enable the investigation of the underlying molecular mechanisms in breast cancer bone metastasis and provide the groundwork of developing preclinical tools for the prediction of bone metastasis risk.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 25Topology Degree Results on a G-Abc Implicit Fractional Differential Equation Under Three-Point Boundary Conditions(Public Library Science, 2024) Rezapour, Shahram; Thabet, Sabri T. M.; Rafeeq, Ava Sh.; Kedim, Imed; Vivas-Cortez, Miguel; Aghazadeh, NasserThis research manuscript aims to study a novel implicit differential equation in the non-singular fractional derivatives sense, namely Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo (A B C) of arbitrary orders belonging to the interval (2, 3] with respect to another positive and increasing function. The major results of the existence and uniqueness are investigated by utilizing the Banach and topology degree theorems. The stability of the Ulam-Hyers (U H) type is analyzed by employing the topics of nonlinear analysis. Finally, two examples are constructed and enhanced with some special cases as well as illustrative graphics for checking the influence of major outcomes.
