Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 163D Bioprinting of mouse pre-osteoblasts and human MSCs using bioinks consisting of gelatin and decellularized bone particles(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2024) Kara, Aylin; Distler, Thomas; Akkineni, Ashwini Rahul; Tihminlioglu, Funda; Gelinsky, Michael; Boccaccini, Aldo R.One of the key challenges in biofabrication applications is to obtain bioinks that provide a balance between printability, shape fidelity, cell viability, and tissue maturation. Decellularization methods allow the extraction of natural extracellular matrix, preserving tissue-specific matrix proteins. However, the critical challenge in bone decellularization is to preserve both organic (collagen, proteoglycans) and inorganic components (hydroxyapatite) to maintain the natural composition and functionality of bone. Besides, there is a need to investigate the effects of decellularized bone (DB) particles as a tissue-based additive in bioink formulation to develop functional bioinks. Here we evaluated the effect of incorporating DB particles of different sizes (<= 45 and <= 100 mu m) and concentrations (1%, 5%, 10% (wt %)) into bioink formulations containing gelatin (GEL) and pre-osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) or human mesenchymal stem cells (hTERT-MSCs). In addition, we propose a minimalistic bioink formulation using GEL, DB particles and cells with an easy preparation process resulting in a high cell viability. The printability properties of the inks were evaluated. Additionally, rheological properties were determined with shear thinning and thixotropy tests. The bioprinted constructs were cultured for 28 days. The viability, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation capacity of cells were evaluated using biochemical assays and fluorescence microscopy. The incorporation of DB particles enhanced cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation capacity which might be due to the natural collagen and hydroxyapatite content of DB particles. Alkaline phosphatase activity is increased significantly by using DB particles, notably, without an osteogenic induction of the cells. Moreover, fluorescence images display pronounced cell-material interaction and cell attachment inside the constructs. With these promising results, the present minimalistic bioink formulation is envisioned as a potential candidate for bone tissue engineering as a clinically translatable material with straightforward preparation and high cell activity.Review Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 16Engineering Periodontal Tissue Interfaces Using Multiphasic Scaffolds and Membranes for Guided Bone and Tissue Regeneration(Elsevier, 2024) Özkendir, Özge; Karaca, İlayda; Çullu, Selin; Yaşar, Hüsniye Nur,; Erdoğan, Oğulcan; Dikici, Serkan; Dikici, Betul AldemirPeriodontal diseases are one of the greatest healthcare burdens worldwide. The periodontal tissue compartment is an anatomical tissue interface formed from the periodontal ligament, gingiva, cementum, and bone. This multifaceted composition makes tissue engineering strategies challenging to develop due to the interface of hard and soft tissues requiring multiphase scaffolds to recreate the native tissue architecture. Multilayer constructs can better mimic tissue interfaces due to the individually tuneable layers. They have different characteristics in each layer, with modulation of mechanical properties, material type, porosity, pore size, morphology, degradation properties, and drug-releasing profile all possible. The greatest challenge of multilayer constructs is to mechanically integrate consecutive layers to avoid delamination, especially when using multiple manufacturing processes. Here, we review the development of multilayer scaffolds that aim to recapitulate native periodontal tissue interfaces in terms of physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. Important properties of multiphasic biodegradable scaffolds are highlighted and summarised, with design requirements, biomaterials, and fabrication methods, as well as post-treatment and drug/growth factor incorporation discussed.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Soft Nanodots as Fluorescent Probes for Cell Imaging: Analysis of Cell and Spheroid Penetration Behavior of Single Chain Polymer Dots(Wiley, 2024) Yücel, Müge; Onbaş, Rabia; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu; Yıldız, Ümit HakanThis study describes the formation, size control, and penetration behavior of polymer nanodots (Pdots) consisting of single or few chain polythiophene-based conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) via nanophase separation between good solvent and poor solvent of CPE. Though the chain singularity may be associated with dilution nanophase separation suggests that molecules of a good solvent create a thermodynamically driven solvation layer surrounding the CPEs and thereby separating the single chains even in their poor solvents. This statement is therefore corroborated with emission intensity/lifetime, particle size, and scattering intensity of polyelectrolyte in good and poor solvents. Regarding the augmented features, Pdots are implemented into cell imaging studies to understand the nuclear penetration and to differentiate the invasive characteristics of breast cancer cells. The python based red, green, blue (RGB) color analysis depicts that Pdots have more nuclear penetration ability in triple negative breast cancer cells due to the different nuclear morphology in shape and composition and Pdots have penetrated cell membrane as well as extracellular matrix in spheroid models. The current Pdot protocol and its utilization in cancer cell imaging are holding great promise for gene/drug delivery to target cancer cells by explicitly achieving the very first priority of nuclear intake. The penetration capability of cationic soft nanodots in to tumor models of breast cancer is demonstrated. The image analysis based on fluorescence intensity variation reveals the characteristics of translocation of nanodots in dense mediums such as tumor models.imageArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Biopatterning of 3d Cellular Model by Contactless Magnetic Manipulation for Cardiotoxicity Screening(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2023) Önbaş, Rabia; Arslan Yıldız, AhuPatterning cells to create three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models by magnetic manipulation is a promising technique, which is rapid, simple, and cost-effective. This study introduces a new biopatterning approach based on magnetic manipulation of cells with a bioink that consists alginate, cells, and magnetic nanoparticles. Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken experimental design models were used to optimize bioink formulation where NIH-3T3 cells were utilized as a model cell line. The patterning capability was confirmed by light microscopy through 7 days culture time. Then, biopatterned 3D cardiac structures were formed using H9c2 cardiomyocyte cells. Cellular and extracellular components, F-actin and collagen Type I, and cardiac-specific biomarkers, Troponin T and MYH6, of biopatterned 3D cardiac structures were observed successfully. Moreover, Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity was investigated for developed 3D model, and IC50 value was calculated as 8.1 μM for biopatterned 3D cardiac structures, which showed higher resistance against DOX-exposure compared to conventional two-dimensional cell culture. Hereby, developed biopatterning methodology proved to be a simple and rapid approach to fabricate 3D cardiac models, especially for drug screening applications.

In this study, we immobilized olive leaf extract (OLE) by calcium alginate (CA) and chitosan-coated CA (CCA) and characterized the OLE-loaded CA and CCA. The cytotoxic effect, the cell cycle arrest, and the apoptotic effect of OLE and its microcapsules were investigated against breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and lung carcinoma (A549). As a result, the loading capacity of OLE-CA and OLE-CCA was found to be 80 and 99%, respectively, in optimal conditions. Also, OLE-CA and OLE-CCA were characterized by unique FTIR peaks and morphological display relative to the empty CCA microcapsules. The cytotoxicity analysis showed that the IC50 values of OLE-CA and OLE-CCA were determined to be 312 and 0.94 μg mL-1 against A549, respectively, whereas these were found to be 865.4 and 425.5 μg mL-1 for MCF-7 cells. On the other hand, the OLE microcapsules did not possess in any concentration of cytotoxic influence on the BEAS 2B healthy cell line. Also, the exposure of OLE-CCA to MCF-7 and A549 resulted in the arrest of more MCF-7 and A549 cells at the G0/G1 phase compared to the OLE. A549 and MCF-7 cells were predominantly found in the late apoptosis phase and necrosis phase, respectively. Optical microscopy images confirmed that OLE microcapsules were more effective against MCF-7 and A549 than free OLE. The present work suggested that the OLE microcapsules might be administered as nutrition supplements for cancer therapy. © 2023 The Authors.

However, the role of fungal microbiota on host storage metabolite pools is largely unexplored. We aimed to investigate the role of microbiota on D. melanogaster fat metabolism, and examine interrelatedness between fungal and bacterial microbiota, and major metabolic pools. Fungal and bacterial microbiota profiles, fat, glycogen, and trehalose metabolic pools are measured in a context of genetic variation represented by whole genome sequenced inbred Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) samples. Increasing Basidiomycota, Acetobacter persici, Acetobacter pomorum, and Lactobacillus brevis levels correlated with decreasing triglyceride levels. Host genes and biological pathways, identified via genome-wide scans, associated with Basidiomycota and triglyceride levels were different suggesting the effect of Basidiomycota on fat metabolism is independent of host biological pathways that control fungal microbiota or host fat metabolism. Although triglyceride, glycogen and trehalose levels were highly correlated, microorganisms’ effect on triglyceride pool were independent of glycogen and trehalose levels. Multivariate analyses suggested positive interactions between Basidiomycota, A. persici, and L. brevis that collectively correlated negatively with fat and glycogen pools. In conclusion, fungal microbiota can be a major player in host fat metabolism. Interactions between fungal and bacterial microbiota may exert substantial control over host storage metabolite pools and influence obesity risk. © 2023, Springer Nature Limited.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 6Immobilization of Olive Leaf Extract With Chitosan Nanoparticles as an Adjunct To Enhance Cytotoxicity(American Chemical Society, 2023) Özdamar, Burcu; Sürmeli, Yusuf; Şanlı Mohamed, GülşahWe immobilized the olive leaf extract (OLE) with chitosannanoparticles(CNPs) by optimizing the effect of various immobilization conditions,and OLE-loaded CNPs (OLE-CNPs) were then elaborately characterizedphysicochemically by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforminfrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), andatomic force microscopy (AFM). Under optimal conditions, CNPs wereable to accommodate the OLE with a loading capacity of 97.5%. Theresulting OLE-CNPs had a spherical morphology, and their average diameterwas approximately 100 nm. The cytotoxic influence, cell cycle distribution,and apoptosis stage of OLE and OLE-CNPs were analyzed on lung carcinoma(A549) and breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines. In an in vitrocytotoxic assay, IC50 values of OLE-CNPs were determinedto be 540 & mu;g/mL for A549 and 810 & mu;g/mL for MCF-7. Thetreatment of both A549 and MCF-7 with OLE-CNPs caused the highestcell arrest in G0/G1 in a dose-independent manner. OLE-CNPs affectedcell cycle distribution in a manner different from free OLE treatmentin both cancer cells. A549 and MCF-7 cells were predominantly foundin the late apoptosis and necrosis phases, respectively, upon treatmentof 1000 & mu;M OLE-CNPs. Our results suggest that CNPs enhance theutility of OLEs as nutraceuticals in cancer and that OLE-CNPs canbe utilized as an adjunct to cancer therapy.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 EmreSpheroid 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: 27Citation - Scopus: 27In Vivo Bone Regeneration Capacity of Multiscale Porous Polycaprolactone-Based High Internal Phase Emulsion (polyhipe) Scaffolds in a Rat Calvarial Defect Model(American Chemical Society, 2023) Aldemir Dikici, Betül; Chen, Min-Chia; Dikici, Serkan; Chiu, Hsien-Chung; Claeyssens, FrederikGlobally, one of the most common tissue transplantationproceduresis bone grafting. Lately, we have reported the development of polymerizedhigh internal phase emulsions (PolyHIPEs) made of photocurable polycaprolactone(4PCLMA) and shown their potential to be used as bone tissue engineeringscaffolds in vitro. However, it is essential to evaluatethe in vivo performance of these scaffolds to investigatetheir potential in a clinically more relevant manner. Therefore, inthis study, we aimed to compare in vivo performancesof macroporous (fabricated using stereolithography), microporous (fabricatedusing emulsion templating), and multiscale porous (fabricated usingemulsion templating and perforation) scaffolds made of 4PCLMA. Also,3D-printed macroporous scaffolds (fabricated using fused depositionmodeling) made of thermoplastic polycaprolactone were used as a control.Scaffolds were implanted into a critical-sized calvarial defect, animalswere sacrificed 4 or 8 weeks after implantation, and the new boneformation was assessed by micro-computed tomography, dental radiography,and histology. Multiscale porous scaffolds that include both micro-and macropores resulted in higher bone regeneration in the defectarea compared to only macroporous or only microporous scaffolds. Whenone-grade porous scaffolds were compared, microporous scaffolds showedbetter performance than macroporous scaffolds in terms of mineralizedbone volume and tissue regeneration. Micro-CT results revealed thatwhile bone volume/tissue volume (Bv/Tv) values were 8 and 17% at weeks4 and 8 for macroporous scaffolds, they were significantly higherfor microporous scaffolds, with values of 26 and 33%, respectively.Taken together, the results reported in this study showed the potentialapplication of multiscale PolyHIPE scaffolds, in particular, as apromising material for bone regeneration.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Bioinspired Multi-Layer Biopolymer-Based Dental Implant Coating for Enhanced Osseointegration(Wiley, 2023) Üzülmez, Betül; Demirsoy, Zeynep; Can, Özge; Gülseren, GulcihanThe major drawbacks of metal-based implants are weak osseointegration and post-operational infections. These limitations restrict the long-term use of implants that may cause severe tissue damage and replacement of the implant. Recent strategies to enhance the osseointegration process require an elaborate fabrication process and suffer from post-operative complications. To address the current challenges taking inspiration from the extracellular matrix (ECM), the current study is designed to establish enhanced osseointegration with lowered risk of infection. Natural biopolymer pectin, peptide amphiphiles, and enzyme-mimicking fullerene moieties are governed to present an ECM-like environment around the implant surfaces. This multifunctional approach promotes osseointegration via inducing biomineralization and osteoblast differentiation. Application of the biopolymer-based composite to the metal surfaces significantly enhances cellular attachment, supports the mineral deposition, and upregulates osteoblast-specific gene expression. In addition to the osteoinductive properties of the constructed layers, the inherent antimicrobial properties of multilayer coating are also used to prevent infection possibility. The reported biopolymer-artificial enzyme composite demonstrates antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis as a multifunctional surface coating.
