Hydroxyapatite (HA) based bioceramics have been developed to treat bone defects for the last 30 years. Doping HA with elements is a common approach to increase mechanical strength, biocompatibility and osteointegrity. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-containing bioceramic composites enhance osteointegrity and induce bone formation. Strontium (Sr) is currently used to treat osteoporosis clinically as this element inhibits bone resorption and stimulates bone formation. In this study, HA was doped with silicon (Si), Sr, BMP-2 and evaluated in cortical bone defect healing. Ceramics were produced and tested mechanically after characterization. Sr release from ceramics was assessed. Ceramics were further evaluated in in vitro and in vivo conditions. X-ray diffraction analysis results of HA were in line with the literature and Sr-Si-HA ceramics showed similar intensities with HA. Ceramics had 36.9 to 41.6% porosity. Compression strength of Sr1000-Si-HA ceramics was 117.5 MPa which was more than that of the other groups. Consistent Sr release was observed in the Sr1000-Si-HA and the Sr250-Si-HA groups. Sr1000-Si-HA and Sr250-Si-HA ceramics showed higher cellular proliferation rates than the other groups in vitro. BMP addition increased alkaline phosphatase activities and DNA amounts. BMP-Sr-Si-HA group presented higher (0.304±0.02 g/cm2) bone mineral density values than the other groups 4 weeks after implantation however differences between groups were not significant in vivo. Sr-Si-HA and BMP-Sr-Si-HA composites stimulated new bone formation at cortical bone defects of tibia according to micro computerized-tomography and histological results. Findings of this study promote future research on Sr containing bioceramics in treatment of orthopedic problems.

The effects of twelve quorum-sensing gene products on the expression of bacabcde operon in bacillus subtilis Öğülür, İsmail; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biotechnology (2008) In Bacillus subtilis, genetic competence, sporulation and antibiotic production are controlled by quorum-sensing global regulatory mechanism. Bacilysin, being produced and excreted by certain strains of Bacillus subtilis, is a dipeptide antibiotic composed of L-alanine and L-anticapsin. We showed that the biosynthesis of bacilysin is under the control of quorum sensing global regulatory pathway through the action of ComQ/ComX, PhrC (CSF), ComP/ComA in a Spo0K (Opp)-dependent manner. Recently, the ywfBCDEF g...
Production and properties of glass bonded apatite-wollastonite bioceramics Vakıfahmetoğlu, Çekdar; Timuçin, Muharrem; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2005) Apatite containing bioceramic materials are considered to be potentially useful for replacement or repair of natural bone. In the present study, the aim was to produce a new composite bioceramic containing crystalline apatite and wollastonite phases with a bimodal grain size distribution. The manufacturing scheme was based on the liquid phase sintering process in which the compacts pressed from powders of apatite (HAP or Si-HAP) and pseudowollastonite was sintered in the presence of a liquid phase. Three di...
Production of recombinant proteins by yeast cells Celik, Eda; Çalık, Pınar (Elsevier BV, 2012-09-01) Yeasts are widely used in production of recombinant proteins of medical or industrial interest. For each individual product, the most suitable expression system has to be identified and optimized, both on the genetic and fermentative level, by taking into account the properties of the product, the organism and the expression cassette. There is a wide range of important yeast expression hosts including the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, Hansenula polymorpha, Kluyveromyces lactis, Schizosa...
Recombinant therapeutic protease production by Bacillus sp. Korkmaz, Nuriye; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) The first aim of this study is the development of extracellular recombinant therapeutic protease streptokinase producing Bacillus sp., and the second aim is to determine fermentation characteristics for streptokinase production. In this context, the signal (pre-) DNA sequence of B.licheniformis (DSM1969) extracellular serine alkaline protease enzyme gene (subC: Acc. No. X03341) was ligated to 5’ end of the streptokinase gene (skc: Acc. No. S46536) by SOE (Gene Splicing by Overlap Extension) method through P...
Effects of antimitotic agents on haploid plant production from unpollinated ovules of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) Gürel, S.; Gürel, E.; Kaya, Zeki; Erdal, M.; Güler, E. (Informa UK Limited, 2003-01-01) The effects of antimicrotubule agents on haploid embryo formation from unpollinated ovules of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) were investigated. The antimitotic agent colchicine (at 100 and 150 mg/l) and trifluralin (at 5.0 mg/l) increased the frequency of haploid embryo formation whereas pronamide (at 76.9 and 128.2 mg/l) and trifluralin (at 3.4 mg/l) decreased. Ovules that were non-treated with antimicrotuble agents (i.e., ovules of the control treatment) produced higher percentages of haploid embryos (4.25...
