    Synthesis, Cytotoxic and Antimicrobial Activities of Novel Cobalt and ZINC Complexes of Benzimidazole Derivatives
    (Elsevier Science SA, 2017-01) Apohan, Elif; Yilmaz, Ulku; Yilmaz, Ozgur; Serindag, Ayfer; Kucukbay, Hasan; Yesilada, Ozfer; Baran, Yusuf
    In this study fourteen novel cobalt (II) or zinc (II) complexes of benzimidazoles were synthesized from the 1-(4-substitutedbenzyl)-1H-benzimidazoles and CoCl2.6H(2)O or ZnCl2. Cytotoxic activities of novel complexes were investigated against lung cancer cells (A549) and BEAS-2B. Three of the examined compounds (1, 4 and 5) showed high cytotoxic activity against A549. While the IC50 of the cisplatin was 2.56 pg/mL for A549 cells at 72 h, the IC50 values of compounds 1, 4 and 5 were 1.97, 1.87 and 1.9 mu g/mL, respectively. IC50 values of these compounds for BEAS-2B cells were higher than the IC50 values for A549. While the IC50 values for BEAS-2B cells were 59.8, 24.5 and 32.67 mu g/mL, respectively, the IC50 of the cisplatin was determined as 2.53 pgimL in the present work. Three of the compounds have also high antimicrobial activity against all the microorganisms used. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    HER2-Targeted, Degradable Core Cross-Linked Micelles for Specific and Dual pH-Sensitive Dox Release
    (Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2021-11-09) Bayram, Nazende Nur; Ulu, Gizem Tugce; Topuzogullari, Murat; Baran, Yusuf; Isoglu, Sevil Dincer; Dinçer İşoğlu, Sevil
    Here, a targeted, dual-pH responsive, and stable micelle nanocarrier is designed, which specifically selects an HER2 receptor on breast cancer cells. Intracellularly degradable and stabilized micelles are prepared by core cross-linking via reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization with an acid-sensitive cross-linker followed by the conjugation of maleimide-doxorubicin to the pyridyl disulfide-modified micelles. Multifunctional nanocarriers are obtained by coupling HER2-specific peptide. Formation of micelles, addition of peptide and doxorubicin (DOX) are confirmed structurally by spectroscopical techniques. Size and morphological characterization are performed by Zetasizer and transmission electron microscope (TEM). For the physicochemical verification of the synergistic acid-triggered degradation induced by acetal and hydrazone bond degradation, Infrared spectroscopy and particle size measurements are used. Drug release studies show that DOX release is accelerated at acidic pH. DOX-conjugated HER2-specific peptide-carrying nanocarriers significantly enhance cytotoxicity toward SKBR-3 cells. More importantly, no selectivity toward MCF-10A cells is observed compared to HER2(+) SKBR-3 cells. Formulations cause apoptosis depending on Bax and Caspase-3 and cell cycle arrest in G2 phase. This study shows a novel system for HER2-targeted therapy of breast cancer with a multifunctional nanocarrier, which has higher stability, dual pH-sensitivity, selectivity, and it can be an efficient way of targeted anticancer drug delivery.

    An Answer to Colon Cancer Treatment by Mesenchymal Stem Cell Originated from Adipose Tissue
    (Mashhad Univ Med Sciences, 2018) Iplik, Elif Sinem; Ertugrul, Baris; Kozanoglu, Ilknur; Baran, Yusuf; Cakmakoglu, Bedia
    Objective(s): Colon cancer is risen up with its complex mechanism that directly impacts on its treatment as well as its common prevalence. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been considered as a therapeutic candidate for conventional disease including cancer. In this research, we have focused on apoptotic effects of adipose tissue-derived MSCs in colon cancer. Materials and Methods: MSCs were obtained from adipose tissue and characterized by Flowcytometer using suitable antibodies. MSCs, HT-29, HCT-116, RKO and healthy cell line MRC5 were cultured by different seeding procedure. After cell viability assay, changes in caspase 3 enzyme activity and the level of phosphatidylserine were measured. Results: For cell viability assay, a 48 hr incubation period was chosen to seed all cells together. There was a 1.36-fold decrease in caspase 3 enzyme activity by co-treatment of RKO and MSCs in addition to 2.02-fold decrease in HT-29 and MSCs co-treatment, and 1.103-fold increase in HCT-116 and MSCs. The results demonstrated that HCT-116 led to the highest rate of apoptotic cell death (7.5%) compared with other cells. Conclusion: We suggest that MSCs might remain a new treatment option for cancer by its differentiation and repair capacity.
