Aptamer probes for specific recognition of glioblastoma multiforme were generated using a repetitive and broad cell-SELEX-based procedure without negative selection. The 454 sequencing technology was used to monitor SELEX, and bioinformatics tools were used to identify aptamers from high throughput data. A group of aptamers were generated that can bind to target cells specifically with dissociation constants (K d ) in the nanomolar range. Selected aptamers showed high affinity to different types of glioblastoma cell lines, while showing little or no affinity to other cancer cell lines. The aptamers generated in this study have potential use in different applications, such as probes for diagnosis and devices for targeted drug delivery, as well as tools for molecular marker discovery for glioblastomas.

Design of intelligent nanoparticles for use in controlled release
Bayyurt, Banu; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biotechnology (2009)
The aim of this project was to design an intelligent controlled release system based on thermoresponsive nanoparticles for cancer therapy and to evaluate the efficiencies of these systems with in vitro cell culture. Poly(Nisopropylacrylamide), an important thermoresponsive polymer, was selected for this study to prepare the responsive nanoparticles. This polymer has an lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of 32 oC, below which it is hydrophilic and above this temperature, it shows hydrophobic behavior...
Selective Quantification of Viable Escherichia coli Bacteria in Biosolids by Quantitative PCR with Propidium Monoazide Modification
Taskin, Bilgin; Gözen, Ayşe Gül; Duran, Metin (American Society for Microbiology, 2011-07-01)
Quantitative differentiation of live cells in biosolids samples, without the use of culturing-based approaches, is highly critical from a public health risk perspective, as recent studies have shown significant regrowth and reactivation of indicator organisms. Persistence of DNA in the environment after cell death in the range of days to weeks limits the application of DNA-based approaches as a measure of live cell density. Using selective nucleic acid intercalating dyes like ethidium monoazide (EMA) and pr...
Homologous expression of aspartokinase (ask) gene in Streptomyces clavuligerus and its hom-deleted mutant: Effects on cephamycin C production
Özcengiz, Gülay; Ünsaldi, Eser; Taşkin, Bilgin; Liras, Paloma; Piret, Jacqueline (Informa UK Limited, 2010-05-01)
Abstract In this study, the effect of homologous multiple copies of the ask gene, which encodes aspartokinase catalyzing the first step of the aspartate pathway, on cephamycin C biosynthesis in S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585 and its hom mutant was investigated. The intracellular pool levels of aspartate pathway amino acids accorded well with the Ask activity levels in TB3585 and AK39. When compared with the control strain carrying vector alone without any gene insert, amplification of the ask gene in the w...
Molecular cloning and co-expression of Thermoplasma volcanium proteasome subunit genes
Kocabıyık, Semra; Zwickl, Peter; Ozdogan, Seda (Elsevier BV, 2010-10-01)
In this study we describe, the construction of a co-expression vector allowing simultaneous production of Thermoplasma volcanium 20S proteasome alpha- and beta-subunits in Escherichia coli. This heterologous expression system provided high level production of fully active 205 proteasome that can be purified easily by using a conventional two-step chromatographic technique. The recombinant proteasome was purified to homogeneity 12-fold with a specific activity of 26.5 U/mg. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylam...
