Öğe Delivery of siRNA using hyaluronic acid-guided nanoparticles for downregulation of CXCR4(Wiley, 2023) Tunali, Beste Cagdas; Celik, Eda; Yildiran, Fatma Azize Budak; Turk, MustafaIn this study, effective transport of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) via hyaluronic acid (HA) receptor was carried out with biodegradable HA and low-molecular weight polyethyleneimine (PEI)-based transport systems. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) capable of giving photothermal response, and their conjugates with PEI and HA, were also added to the structure. Thus, a combination of gene silencing, photothermal therapy and chemotherapy, has been accomplished. The synthesized transport systems ranged in size, between 25 and 690 nm. When the particles were applied at a concentration of 100 mu g mL(-1) (except AuPEI NPs) in vitro, cell viability was above 50%. Applying radiation after the conjugate/siRNA complex (especially those containing AuNP) treatment, increased the cytotoxic effect (decrease in cell viability of 37%, 54%, 13%, and 15% for AuNP, AuPEI NP, AuPEI-HA, and AuPEI-HA-DOX, respectively) on the MDA-MB-231 cell line. CXCR4 gene silencing via the synthesized complexes, especially AuPEI-HA-DOX/siRNA was more efficient in MDA-MB-231 cells (25-fold decrease in gene expression) than in CAPAN-1 cells. All these results demonstrated that the synthesized PEI-HA and AuPEI-HA-DOX conjugates can be used as siRNA carriers that are particularly effective, especially in the treatment of breast cancer.Öğe Effects of B2O3 (boron trioxide) on colon cancer cells: our first-step experience and in vitro results(Tubitak Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2019) Albuzi, Ozgur; Dulger, Dilek; Tunali, Beste Cagdas; Aydin, Feray; Yalcin, Selim; Turk, MustafaBoron oxide (B2O3) is derived from dehydration of boric acid and is a colorless, semitransparent, crystalline compound that is moderately soluble in water. On the other hand, boron oxide is chemically hygroscopic. This gives the molecule the ability to soak up water and adhere to tissues. Boron oxide can be used locally after tumor debulking in inoperable tumors and especially when the twnor-free margin distance cannot be provided. For all these reasons we aimed to evaluate the in vitro test results of B2O3, in terms of cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, apoptosis, and necrotic effects on L929 fibroblast cells and DLD-1 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. Our studies demonstrated that boron oxide compounds appear to be highly cytotoxic for both cell lines according to WST cell viability assay (44.22% and 18.36% on DLD-1 and L929, respectively). Although no genotoxic effects were observed, boron oxide compounds showed antiproliferative effects for both cell lines. The prepared boron oxide compounds may hold the potential to be applied locally to the remaining tissue after surgery and further research and evaluation will be needed to determine its effectivenesss.Öğe Phosphorus-nitrogen compounds. Part 48. syntheses of the phosphazenium salts containing 2-pyridyl pendant arm: structural characterizations, thermal analysis, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity studies(NATL INST SCIENCE COMMUNICATION-NISCAIR, 2020) Elmas, Gamze; Okumus, Aytug; Kilic, Zeynel; Ozbeden, Pelin; Acik, Leyla; Tunali, Beste Cagdas; Turk, MustafaThe phosphazenium salts (protic ionic liquids, PILs/protic molten salts, PMOSs) (6a-6d and 7a) of the free phosphazene bases (4a-4d and 5a) have been prepared by the reactions of the corresponding cyclotriphosphazenes with the bulky gentisic acid. The structures of the PMOS have been evaluated using the elemental analyses, FTIR, H-1, C-13{H-1} and P-31{H-1} NmR data. The molecular and crystal structures of 4a and 6c are established by X-ray crystallography. The thermal properties of the PMOS are determined using TG and DTA techniques. On the other hand, the antimicrobial activities of the free phosphazene bases (4a-4d and 5a-5d) and PMOSs (6a-6d and 7a) are screened against the selected bacteria and yeast strains. The antimicrobial activities of the free phosphazene bases and the PMOSs are compared. The interactions of the phosphazenes and their salts with plasmid DNA are elucidated by the agarose gel electrophoresis. The evaluations of the cytotoxic activities of these compounds are also studied against to L929 fibroblast and breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231).Öğe Synthesis of Bis(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1,4-butanedialkoxy)-2-trans-6-bis(4-fluorobenzyl)spirocyclotetraphosphazene: Structural Characterization, Biological Activity and DFT Studies(SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS, 2020) Elmas, Gamze; Kilic, Zeynel; Cosut, Bunyemin; Kesan, Gurkan; Acik, Leyla; Cam, Merve; Tunali, Beste CagdasThe Cl replacement reaction of octachlorocyclotetraphosphazene, N4P4Cl8 (1), with two equimolar amounts of N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-N'-methylpropane-1,3-diamine led to the formation of 4,4,8,8-tetrachloro-2-trans-6-bis-N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-N'-methylpropane-1,3-diamino-cyclotetraphosphazene (2). The reaction of 2 with excess sodium 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1,4-butanedioxide afforded the bis(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1,4-butanedialkoxy)-2-trans-6-bis(4-fluorobenzyespirocyclotetraphosphazene (2a). The elemental analyses, mass spectrum (ESI-MS), FTIR, HSQC, HMBC, H-1, C-13 and P-31 NMR spectral data of 2a were consistent with the proposed structure. The crystal structure of 2a was elucidated by X-ray diffraction method. The spectroscopic data of the molecules (2 and 2a) in the ground state were investigated by the Density Functional Theory (DFT) from the crystal structures. On the other hand, compound 2a was found to be the most active against S. aureus G(+) (MIC value: 125 mu M). Whilst, any antifungal activity of 2a was not observed against C. albicans and C. tropicalis. This compound also exhibits cytotoxic activity against L929 fibroblast and MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The interaction of 2a with pBR322 DNA was researched using gel electrophoresis. It is understood that the change in DNA conformation by interstrand of 2a with A/A and G/G nucleobases in DNA.
