The L-Asn-MIP membrane was prepared by using acrylamide (AAm) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as a functional monomer and a comonomer, respectively. The membrane was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The L-Asn adsorption capacity of the membrane was investigated in detail. The maximum L-Asn adsorption capacity was determined as 408.2 mg/g at pH: 7.2, 24 degrees C. Determination of L-Asn binding behaviors of L-Asn-MIPs also shown with Scatchard analyses. The effect of pH on L-Asn adsorption onto the membrane and also the selectivity and reusability of the L-Asn-MIPs for L-Asn adsorption were determined through L-asparaginase (L-ASNase) enzyme activity measurements. The selectivity of the membrane was investigated by using two different ternary mixtures; L-glycine (L-Gly)/L-histidine (L-His)/L-Asn and L-tyrosin (L-Tyr)/L-cystein(L-Cys)/L-Asn. The obtained results showed that the L-Asn-MIP membranes have a high selectivity towards L-Asn.Öğe A Review for Uncovering the Protein-Nanoparticle Alliance: Implications of the Protein Corona for Biomedical Applications(Mdpi, 2024) Onal Acet, Burcu; Gul, Desiree; Stauber, Roland H.; Odabasi, Mehmet; Acet, OmurUnderstanding both the physicochemical and biological interactions of nanoparticles is mandatory for the biomedical application of nanomaterials. By binding proteins, nanoparticles acquire new surface identities in biological fluids, the protein corona. Various studies have revealed the dynamic structure and nano-bio interactions of the protein corona. The binding of proteins not only imparts new surface identities to nanoparticles in biological fluids but also significantly influences their bioactivity, stability, and targeting specificity. Interestingly, recent endeavors have been undertaken to harness the potential of the protein corona instead of evading its presence. Exploitation of this 'protein-nanoparticle alliance' has significant potential to change the field of nanomedicine. Here, we present a thorough examination of the latest research on protein corona, encompassing its formation, dynamics, recent developments, and diverse bioapplications. Furthermore, we also aim to explore the interactions at the nano-bio interface, paving the way for innovative strategies to advance the application potential of the protein corona. By addressing challenges and promises in controlling protein corona formation, this review provides insights into the evolving landscape of the 'protein-nanoparticle alliance' and highlights emerging.Öğe Anti-cancer activity of naringenin loaded smart polymeric nanoparticles in breast cancer(Elsevier, 2022) Yildirim, Metin; Acet, Omur; Yetkin, Derya; Acet, Burcu Onal; Karakoc, Veyis; Odabasi, MehmetBreast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women worldwide, and approximately comprise 25% of all female malignancies. Naringenin (Nar) is a promising anticancer agent for breast cancer. However, its use as a therapeutic agent is limited due to its poor water solubility and bioavailability. The purpose of the present study is to prepare pH and thermo sensitive smart polymeric nanoparticles carrying naringenin (NarSPNPs) to improve bioavailability, and increase therapeutic efficacy against breast cancer. N-isopropylacrylamide and Vinyl imidazole were used as thermo and pH sensitive monomers, respectively. NarSPNPs were characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses, SEM and FTIR for particle size and potential analysis, surface morphology and functional group determinations, respectively. Release profile and its effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle in breast cancer were also studied. Physicochemical characterization of newly prepared NarSPNPs, cytotoxicity, and IC50 assessments confirmed their stability and bioactivity as an anti-breast cancer agent with no toxicity against human epithelia cells. These findings together with flow cytometry analysis, revealed that apoptosis is the main mechanism underlying cell death after NarSPNPs treatment.Öğe Design of Enhanced Smart Delivery Systems for Therapeutic Enzymes: Kinetic and Release Performance of Dual Effected Enzyme-Loaded Nanopolymers(Springer, 2023) Acet, OmurL-asparaginase (L-ASNase) is among the important biopharmaceuticals and is utilized in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic. L-ASNase catalyzes its conversion to aspartic acid and ammonia. The use of enzymes loaded on polymeric systems is an alternative way to avoid the stability problem when using enzymes. In addition, drug release applications that can be obtained with loaded enzymes can be very useful, especially in both pharmaceutical and medical implementations, as they can canalize the enzyme to the right site. For this purpose, L-asparaginase loaded smart nanopolymers (ASN-SNPs) were synthesized via miniemulsion process. The SEM, FTIR characterizations and, zeta potential of ASN-SNPs were carried out. ASN-SNPs showed improvement in free enzyme related stability under extreme conditions. On the other hand, the storage stability and reusability of theASN-SNPs were found to be about 63 and 53% of the original activity after 4 weeks days at room temperature and 10 cycles, respectively. The Michaelis-Menten constants (Km) of 6.595 and 1.902 mM, and the maximum reaction rates (Vmax) of 212.766 and 49.02 mu M min(-1) were founded for free and loaded L-ASNase, respectively. The results showed that the designed L-asparaginase loaded SNPs are a promising matrix for their high catalytic efficiency and enhanced stability properties.

These communication molecules are expressed as Quorum Sensing (QS) or chemicals produced by the environment sensing system and used by bacteria to communicate. This case revealed that bacteria are talking. N-acyl-homoserine-lactones (AHL), which are the main signaling molecules of gram-negative bacteria, may express the pathogenic factors, and Quorum Sensing (QS) system may play an important role in the identification of the being virus. AHLs are produced at low concentrations that are difficult to detect with general techniques. In this study, molecularly imprinted polymeric membranes, which are specific to lactone with 6-carbons (C6-HSL) were prepared on QCM chips, and molecularly imprinted QCM chips were utilized to detect N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C6-HSL) with high sensitivity from the aqueous medium. Characterization of the synthesized polymers were analyzed by AFM, SEM, contact angle and FTIR-ATR spectrophotometer analyzes. The maximum C6-HSL adsorption on the C6-HSL imprinted QCM chip surface was observed at 1000 ng/mL concentration, pH 7.0. Moreover, GC-MS results correlated with the results of our studies, and they confirmed the sensitivity of synthesized polymers toward C6-HSL in solution containing competitor molecules.Öğe Dipeptide nanostructures: Synthesis, interactions, advantages and biomedical applications(Elsevier, 2023) Acet, Omur; Shcharbin, Dzmitry; Zhogla, Victoriya; Kirsanov, Pavel; Halets-Bui, Inessa; Acet, Burcu Onal; Gok, TubaShort peptides are important in the design of self-assembled materials due to their versatility and flexibility.

Nanopolymers that encapsulate anti-cancer medication present a highly encouraging substitute to traditional therapies, primarily because of their specific targeting and accurate functionality, making them suitable for a variety of uses. Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) is a non-toxic polymer derived from the monomer HEMA, which is known for its toxicity. It can be combined with various other polymers and is associated with minimal immune response. The objective of the current investigation is to produce smart polymeric nanoparticles that are responsive to changes in pH and temperature, and capable of encapsulating hesperidin. These hesperidin-loaded poly(2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate-N-isopropylacrylamide-Vinyl imidazole) nanoparticles, referred to as HesSNPs, aim to enhance the bioavailability of hesperidin and augment its therapeutic effectiveness in combating prostate cancer. N-isopropylacrylamide and Vinyl imidazole were employed as monomers sensitive to temperature and pH, respectively. Nanopolymers that were synthesized underwent characterization through dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to analyze particle size and charge, surface morphology, and functional group determinations, respectively. HesSNPs decreased cell viability of DU-145 cells. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that apoptosis is the main mechanism underlying cell death after HesSNPs treatment. Smart polymeric nanoparticles (HesSNPs), designed to encapsulate hesperidin, are synthesized from pH and temperature-responsive monomers. Characterized by DLS, SEM, and FTIR, these nanoparticles enhance hesperidin bioavailability. HesSNPs reduce prostate cancer cell viability (DU-145), with flow cytometry indicating apoptosis as the primary mechanism. This study highlights the potential of HesSNPs in advancing cancer treatment strategies. imageÖğe First protein affinity application of Cu2+-bound pure inorganic nanoflowers(Springer, 2022) Onal, Burcu; Acet, Omur; Dzmitruk, Volha; Halets-Bui, Inessa; Shcharbin, Dzmitry; Ozdemir, Nalan; Odabasi, MehmetToday, a new kind of materials is introduced to separation media day by day to increase the efficiency of the separation processes, and multiple-petalled nanostructured materials are one of them.

These microbial biofilms pose a serious threat to human health since microbial communities in the biofilm matrix are protected with exopolymeric substances and difficult to eradicate with antibiotics. Hence, the prevention of microbial adhesion followed by biofilm formation is one of the promising strategies to prevent these consequences. The attachment of antimicrobial agents, coatings of nanomaterials and synthesis of hybrid materials are widely used approach to develop surfaces having potential to hinder bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. In this study, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is attached on p(HEMA-co-GMA) membranes to prevent the bacterial colonization. The attachment of EGCG to membranes was proved by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The synthesized membrane showed porous structure (SEM), and desirable swelling degree, which are ideal when it comes to the application in biotechnology and biomedicine. Furthermore, EGCG attached membrane showed significant potential to prevent the microbial colonization on the surface. The obtained results suggest that EGCG attached polymer could be used as an alternative approach to prevent the microbial colonization on the biomedical surfaces, food processing equipment as well as development of microbial resistant food packaging systems.Öğe L-asparaginase immobilized p(HEMA-GMA) cryogels: A recent study for biochemical, thermodynamic and kinetic parameters(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Noma, Samir Abbas Ali; Acet, Omur; Ulu, Ahmet; Onal, Burcu; Odabasi, Mehmet; Ates, BurhanCryogels have recently been attracted intense attention as suitable carriers for enzyme immobilization. Herein, L-asparaginase was selected as the model enzyme due to its application such as pharmaceutical and food. Under optimum conditions, L-asparaginase was immobilized on poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate) cryogels with 68.8% of immobilization yield and 69.3% of activity recovery. The immobilized enzyme exhibited improved stability with respect to the soluble enzyme at extreme conditions, especially around acidic pH and high temperature. Also, the storage stability and reusability of the immobilized enzyme were found to be approximately 54% and 52% of the original activity after 28 days at room temperature and 10 cycles, respectively. The thermodynamic studies indicated that activation energy (E-a) of the free enzyme decreased from 13.08 to 10.97 kJ/mol, which means an increase in the thermostability of L-asparaginase. The Michaelis-Menten constants (K-m) of 2.04 and 1.67 mM, and the maximum reaction rates (V-max) of 170.0 and 115.0 mu M min(-1) were estimated for soluble and immobilized L-asparaginase, respectively. These findings demonstrated that the designed cryogels turn out to be a good carrier matrix for L-asparaginase immobilization with high catalytic efficiency and enhanced stability.Öğe ?Lab-on-pol? colormatic sensor platforms: Melamine detection with color change on melamine imprinted membranes(Elsevier, 2023) Dikici, Emrah; Acet, Burcu Onal; Acet, Omur; Odabasi, MehmetThere is an urgent need to improve a specific, equipment-free and user friendly technique for detecting melamine in food samples.

The linear regression plot showed a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.995 in the range of 10 mu M-50 mu M according to Beer Lambert's law. A low concentration of melamine, (e.g., 10 mu M) was determined in raw milk. Melamine imprinted polymeric membranes showed 7.575 times more sensitivity for melamine than cyromazine. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were computed as 9.9 mu M and 30.2 mu M, respectively. Here, a new kind of smart polymer was designed, and successfully applied for the easy, portable and on-site colorimetric analysis via imprinted polymers, and named as lab-on-polsystem. HPLC analysis method was also used to validate this new analysis method.Öğe Molecular imprinted polymers: important advances in biochemistry, biomedical and biotechnology(Springer, 2024) Acet, Burcu Onal; Inanan, Tulden; Salieva, Kalipa; Borkoev, Bakyt; Odabasi, Mehmet; Acet, OmurMolecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are handmade receptors that mimic the binding of natural antibodies. In other words, MIPs can selectively bind to the target molecule and qualify as bio-inspired synthetic materials. Today, MIPs are used extensively and are being developed further for biological applications.

Bacteria arrange gene regulation in a method called Quorum Sensing (QS). The most widespread signalling molecules are N-Acyl Homoserine Lactones (AHLs/HSLs) for Gram-negative bacteria communities. QS plays significant role in the organizing of the bacterial gene that adapts to harsh environmental conditions for bacteria. It is involved in the arrangement of duties, such as biofilm formation occurrence, virulence activity of bacteria, production of antibiotics, plasmid conjugal transfer incident, pigmentation phenomenon and production of exopolysaccharide (EPS). QS obviously impacts on human health, agriculture and environment. AHL-related QS researches have been extensively studied and understood in depth for cell to cell intercommunication channel in Gram-negative bacteria. It is understood that AHL-based QS research has been extensively studied for cell-to-cell communication in Gram-negative bacteria; hence, a comprehensive study of AHLs, which are bacterial signal molecules, is required. The purpose of this review is to examine the effects of QS-mediated AHLs in many areas by looking at them from a different perspectives, such as clinic samples, food industry, aquatic life and wastewater treatment system.Öğe Pathophysiology of Circulating Biomarkers and Relationship With Vascular Aging: A Review of the Literature From VascAgeNet Group on Circulating Biomarkers, European Cooperation in Science and Technology Action 18216(Frontiers Media Sa, 2021) Gopcevic, Kristina R.; Gkaliagkousi, Eugenia; Nemcsik, Janos; Acet, Omur; Bernal-Lopez, M. Rosa; Bruno, Rosa M.; Climie, Rachel E.Impairment of the arteries is a product of sustained exposure to various deleterious factors and progresses with time; a phenomenon inherent to vascular aging. Oxidative stress, inflammation, the accumulation of harmful agents in high cardiovascular risk conditions, changes to the extracellular matrix, and/or alterations of the epigenetic modification of molecules, are all vital pathophysiological processes proven to contribute to vascular aging, and also lead to changes in levels of associated circulating molecules. Many of these molecules are consequently recognized as markers of vascular impairment and accelerated vascular aging in clinical and research settings, however, for these molecules to be classified as biomarkers of vascular aging, further criteria must be met. In this paper, we conducted a scoping literature review identifying thirty of the most important, and eight less important, biomarkers of vascular aging. Herein, we overview a selection of the most important molecules connected with the above-mentioned pathological conditions and study their usefulness as circulating biomarkers of vascular aging.Öğe Revolution in Cancer Treatment: How Are Intelligently Designed Nanostructures Changing the Game?(Mdpi, 2024) Guel, Desiree; Acet, Burcu Oal; Lu, Qiang; Stauber, Roland H.; Odabasi, Mehmet; Acet, OmurNanoparticles (NPs) are extremely important tools to overcome the limitations imposed by therapeutic agents and effectively overcome biological barriers.

In particular, dual stimuli-responsive smart polymer nanomaterials might be extremely useful for drug delivery and release. We analyzed the possibility to include the known antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX), which has antimitotic and antiproliferative effects, in a nanopolymer complex. Thus, doxorubicin-loaded temperature- and pH-sensitive smart nanopolymers (DOX-SNPs) were produced. Characterizations of the synthesized nanostructures were carried out including zeta potential measurements, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The loading capacity of the nanopolymers for DOX was investigated, and encapsulation and release studies were carried out. In a final step, the cytotoxicity of the DOX-nanopolymer complexes against the HeLa cancer cell line at different concentrations and incubation times was studied. The DOX release depended on temperature and pH value of the release medium, with the highest release at pH 6.0 and 41 degrees C. This effect was similar to that observed for the commercial liposomal formulation of doxorubicin Doxil. The obtained results demonstrated that smart nanopolymers can be efficiently used to create new types of doxorubicin-based drugs.Öğe Synthesis, Characterization, and Investigation of Corona Formation of Dipeptide-Based Nanomaterials(Mdpi, 2025) Dikici, Emrah; Acet, Burcu Onal; Bozdogan, Betuel; Acet, Omur; Halets-Bui, Inessa; Shcharbin, Dzmitry; Odabasi, MehmetPeptide-based nanomaterials can be easily functionalized due to their functional groups, as well as being biocompatible, stable under physiological conditions, and nontoxic. Here, diphenylalanineamide-based nanomaterials (FFANMs) were synthesized, decorated with Ca2+ ions to set the surface charge, and characterized for possible use in gene delivery and drug release studies. FFANMs were characterized by SEM, TEM, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and LC-MS/MS. Corona formation and biocompatible studies were also carried out.

For gene delivery studies, zeta potentials of Ca2+@FFANMs and DNA interactions were also studied and found to shift to -9.7 mV. Cytotoxicity and biocompatibility studies of NMs were also studied on HeLa and HT29 cell lines, and decreases of about 5% and 10% in viability at the end of 24 h and 72 h incubation times were found. We think that the results obtained from this study will assist the groups working in the relevant field.Öğe Things to Know and Latest Trends in the Design and Application of Nanoplatforms in Cancer Treatment(Springer, 2024) Yildirim, Metin; Acet, Burcu Onal; Dikici, Emrah; Odabasi, Mehmet; Acet, OmurNanotechnology has a crucial potential in cancer treatment.
