Publication Metadata only Repair of critical size defects using bioactive glass seeded with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells(2016-05-25) AKDENİZ DOĞAN, ZEYNEP DENİZ; SAÇAK, BÜLENT; YILMAZ, BETÜL; ERCAN, FERİHA; AKDENİZ DOĞAN Z.

Erdi; Yazgan, Burak; Karademir, BetulPublication Metadata only Repair of critical size defects using bioactive glass seeded with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells(WILEY, 2017) YILMAZ, BETÜL; Sacak, Bulent; Certel, Furkan; Akdeniz, Zeynep D.; Karademir, Betul; Ercan, Feriha; Ozkan, Naziye; Akpinar, Ihsan Nuri; Celebiler, OzhanBioactive glass has been demonstrated as a biocompatible bone substitute. However bone healing process can be prolonged due to late resorption of the material. Adipose derived stem cells (ASC) have osteogenic differentiation potential and hence can be a cell source for bone regeneration. The aim of this study was to test whether combination of bioactive glass with ASCs would enhance bone regeneration. Following creation of critical sized defects on the calvaria of 32 Wistar rats, the animals were randomly divided into four groups: Group C (control): Defects were left untreated; Group G: Defects were covered with autologous bone graft; Group BG: Defects were filled with bioactive glass; Group BG/ASC: Defects were filled with bioactive glass seeded with ASCs. The defect size was significantly greater in Group compared to all other groups. Bone density was significantly lower in Group C compared to Group G and Group BG/ASC. Bone regeneration score of Group C was significantly lower than other groups. Group BG/ASC demonstrated lamellar bone and havers canal formation. The results of this study demonstrated that bioactive glass implanted with ASC is a biocompatible construct stimulating radiologically and histologically evident bone regeneration similar to autologous bone grafting.

There is little information about the intracellular fate of endocytosed advanced glycation end products (AGES) and their influence on proteolytic systems. However, it is known that the lysosomal system is impaired during aging. Therefore, undegraded material may accumulate and play a considerable role in the development of diverse diseases. To investigate if AGEs can be degraded and to test whether they accumulate because of impaired lysosomal proteases we studied the effects of advanced glycation end products on the endosomal lysosomal system. Five different types of AGEs were generated by bovine serum albumin incubation with glyoxal, methylglyoxal, glucose, fructose, and ribose. The first experiments revealed the uptake of AGEs by the macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. Further investigations demonstrated an increase in cathepsin D and L activity and an increase in mature cathepsins D and L Increased activities were accompanied by the presence of more lysosomes, measured by staining with LysoTracker blue. To specify the roles of cathepsins D and L we used knockout cells to test the roles of both cathepsins on the toxicity of advanced glycation end products. In summary we conclude that both cathepsins are required for a reduction in advanced glycation end product-induced cytotoxicity. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

One of the major risks of atherosclerosis is hypercholesterolemia. During atherosclerosis, oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) regulates CD36-mediated activation of c-jun amino terminal kinase-1 (JNK1) and modulates matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) induction which stimulates inflammation with an invasion of monocytes. Additionally, inhibition of proteasome leads to an accumulation of c-jun and phosphorylated c-jun and activation of activator protein-1 (AP-1) related increase of MMP expression. We have previously reported a significant increase in cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) mRNA levels in hypercholesterolemic rabbits and shown that vitamin E treatment prevented the cholesterol induced increase in CD36 mRNA expression. In the present study, our aim is to identify the signaling molecules/transcription factors involved in the progression of atherosclerosis following CD36 activation in an in vivo model of hypercholesterolemic (induced by 2% cholesterol containing diet) rabbits. In this direction, proteasomal activities by fluorometry and c-jun, phospo c-jun, JNK1, MMP-9 expressions by quantitative RT-PCR and immunoblotting were tested in aortic tissues. The effects of vitamin E on these changes were also investigated in this model. As a result, c-jun was phosphorylated following decreased proteasomal degradation in hypercholesterolemic group. MMP-9 expression was also increased in cholesterol group rabbits contributing to the development of atherosclerosis. In addition, vitamin E showed its effect by decreasing MMP-9 levels and phosphorylation of c-jun. (C) 2014 The Authors.

Suha; Karademir, BetulPublication Open Access Controlled Release of Metformin Hydrochloride from Core-Shell Nanofibers with Fish Sarcoplasmic Protein(MDPI, 2019-10-10) YILMAZ, BETÜL; Sena, Su; Sumeyra, Korkmaz Nalan; Ulkugul, Guven; Sema, Arslan; Betul, Karademir; Muge, Sennaroglu Bostan; Sayip, Eroglu Mehmet; Muhammet, Uzun; Cevriye, Kalkandelen; Mahir, Mahirogullari; Titu, Aurel Mihail; Ficai, Anton; Ficai, Denisa; Gunduz, OguzhanBackground and Objectives: A coaxial electrospinning technique was used to produce core/shell nanofibers of a polylactic acid (PLA) as a shell and a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) containing metformin hydrochloride (MH) as a core. Materials and Methods: Fish sarcoplasmic protein (FSP) was extracted from fresh bonito and incorporated into nanofiber at various concentrations to investigate the influence on properties of the coaxial nanofibers. The morphology, chemical structure and thermal properties of the nanofibers were studied. Results: The results show that uniform and bead-free structured nanofibers with diameters ranging from 621 nm to 681 nm were obtained. A differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis shows that FSP had a reducing effect on the crystallinity of the nanofibers. Furthermore, the drug release profile of electrospun fibers was analyzed using the spectrophotometric method. Conclusions: The nanofibers showed prolonged and sustained release and the first order kinetic seems to be more suitable to describe the release. MTT assay suggests that the produced drug and protein loaded coaxial nanofibers are non-toxic and enhance cell attachment. Thus, these results demonstrate that the produced nanofibers had the potential to be used for diabetic wound healing applications.Publication Metadata only Heat shock proteins and proteasomal degradation in normal and tumor cells(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2014) YILMAZ, BETÜL; Betul, Karademir; Perinur, Bozaykut; Nesrin, Kartal Ozer
