Homing is the process that stem cells move to their own stem cell niches under the influence of chemokines like stromal-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) upon bone marrow transplantation (BMT). There is a need for increasing homing efficiency after BMT since only 10-15% of the transplanted cells can home to their own niches and a limited amount of donor marrow can be transplanted. In this study, we aimed to develop and characterize bone marrow targeted liposomal SDF-1α delivery system prepared by extrusion method. Alendronate conjugation was chosen to target the liposomes to bone marrow microenvironment, particularly the endosteal niche. Optimization studies were conducted with the model protein (-lactoglobulin). 200 nm sized 5% pegylated DPPC:Cho (2:0.5) liposomes were chosen for targeted SDF-1α loaded large unilamellar liposomes (LUVs). DSPE-PEG2000-Carboxylic Acid was conjugated with alendronate via carbodiimide chemistry for preparing targeted liposomes. Alendronate (ALE) conjugation was shown by FT-IR and the conjugation efficiency was found 34.5±4.6 %. 5%ALE-PEG/LUV200 encapsulated 48.3 ± 0.3% of SDF-1α and released 44.10.9% after 24h, with a similar profile as 5%PEG/LUV200 and 2.5%ALE-PEG/LUV200. 5%ALE-PEG/LUV200 had more negative potential (-21.9 mV) and significantly higher affinity to hydroxyapatite than 5%PEG/LUV200 and 2.5%ALE-PEG/LUV200. Migration assays conducted with human mesenchymal stem cells showed that SDF-1α released (24.4 ng/ml) from the liposomes in 24 hours increased the chemotactic activity of these cells. SDF-1 loaded 5%ALE-PEG/LUV200, reported for the first time in literature, has potential as an effective vehicle for improving homing efficiency and thereby permitting successful BMT from young donors. Additionally, this system could also be considered for treating large and difficult bone fractures with recruitment of host stem cells. However, further studies including migration assays with human hematopoietic stem cells and in-vivo distribution of the liposomal system are suggested.

Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Patients with Beta Thalassemia Major: Molecular Analysis with Attenuated Total Reflection-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Study as a Novel Method
Aksoy, Ceren; Guliyev, Ali; Kilic, Emine; Uckan, Duygu; Severcan, Feride (2012-07-01)
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are the main cellular components of the bone marrow, providing a supportive cellular microenvironment to maintain healthy hematopoiesis. beta-thalassemia major (beta-TM) is characterized by anemia that is caused by a genetic defect in hemoglobin synthesis and results in ineffective erythropoiesis (IE). The alterations in the microenvironment in thalassemic bone marrow during IE can cause changes in BM-MSCs. This study aimed to investigate global structural and co...
Differentiation of BMSCs into Nerve Precursor Cells on Fiber-Foam Constructs for Peripheral Nerve Tissue Engineering
Dursun Usal, Tuğba; YÜCEL, DENİZ; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2018-06-01)
Bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) are frequently used in nerve tissue engineering studies due to ease of their isolation and high potential for differentiation into nerve cells. A bilayer fiber-foam construct containing nanofibrous elements to house and guide BMSCs was designed as a model to study the regeneration of damaged peripheral nerve tissue and eventually serve as a nerve guide. The construct consisted of a) a macroporous bottom layer to serve as the backing and support, and for nutrient transport, and...
Characterization and identification of human mesenchymal stem cells at molecular level
Aksoy, Ceren; Severcan, Feride; Çetinkaya, Duygu Uçkan; Department of Biotechnology (2012)
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are pluripotent cells that can differentiate into a variety of non-hematopoietic tissues. They also maintain healthy heamatopoiesis by providing supportive cellular microenvironment into BM. In this thesis, MSCs were characterized in terms of their morphological, immunophenotypical and differentiation properties. Then, they were examined by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy together with hierarchical clustering, and FT...
Influence of micropatterns on human mesenchymal stem cell fate /
Hastürk, Onur; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Biotechnology (2016)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising cell sources for tissue engineering applications as they can differentiate into a variety of adult cells types including osteoblasts. In vivo microenvironment of stem cells is known to provide both biochemical signals and micro- and nanoscale physical cues that influence the behavior and fate of stem cells. The use of soluble chemical factors is the most common strategy to guide the commitment of MSCs to specific lineages, but it is a cause of concern such as unsa...
Enhanced expression of HNF4 alpha during intestinal epithelial differentiation is involved in the activation of ER stress
Tuncer, Sinem; Sade-Memişoğlu, Aslı; Keşküş, Ayşe Gökçe; Sheraj, Ilir; Güner, Güneş; Akyol, Aytekin; Banerjee, Sreeparna (WILEY, 111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN 07030-5774, NJ USA, 2019-12)
Intestinal epithelial cells are derived from stem cells at the crypts that undergo differentiation into transit-amplifying cells, which in turn form terminally differentiated enterocytes as these cells reach the villus. Extensive alterations in both transcriptional and translational programs occur during differentiation, which can induce the activation of cellular stress responses such as ER stress-related unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy, particularly in the cells that are already committed to...
