Previous studies have shown epidermal growth factor (EGF) facilitate peritoneal membrane healing by augmenting cell adhesion and migration. The objective of this study was to show the effect of sustained and local administration of EGF on peritoneal adhesion. Fourty-two rats were divided into six groups: control 7 and 14, gelatin 7 and 14, and EGF 7 and 14. Adhesions were created by scraping the cecum with mesh gause followed by application of absolute alcohol and placement of silk suture in the parietal peritoneum. The anterior walls of the intestines were covered with 5 x 5 cm unloaded, and EGF loaded gelatin films in the gelatin and EGF groups, respectively. The rats were killed on days 7 and 14 to assess the adhesion occurring, and for biochemical examination. The mean adhesion grades of EGF groups were significantly lower than in the other groups (P < 0.008). The mean adenosine deaminase (ADA) measurements of EGF 7 group were lower than in the gelatin 7 and control 7 groups but the difference was not significant (P > 0.008). The mean ADA measurements in the 14 days groups were as follows: control 14 < EGF 14 < gelatin 14 groups. The mean ADA measurements between 14 days groups did not significantly differ from each other (P > 0.008). The mean hydroxyproline measurements did not differ among the groups (P > 0.008). EGF decreased intestinal adhesion in our study. EGF has important roles in DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. Further studies are required to determine the exact mechanism by which EGF lowers the efficiency of intestinal adhesion.

Activation of survival pathways in nutrient restricted colorectal cancer cells Oral, Göksu; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2023-1-9) Limited nutrient availability in the tumor microenvironment can cause metabolic rewiring of cancer cells, resulting in the activation of various stress response pathways such as autophagy for survival. Our study showed for the first time that incubation of LoVo cells with a nutrient restriction medium containing low glucose, glutamine, and serum for 48 h resulted in the concurrent activation of two antagonistic proteins: the AMP Kinase pathway (AMPK) which is phosphorylated in response to low energy and act...
Effect of double growth factor release on cartilage tissue engineering Ertan, Ayse Burcu; Yilgor, Pinar; Bayyurt, Banu; Calikoglu, Ayse Ceren; Kaspar, Cigdem; Kök, Fatma Neşe; KÖSE, GAMZE; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2013-02-01) The effects of double release of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and growth factor 1 (TGF1) from nanoparticles on the growth of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and their differentiation into cartilage cells were studied on PLGA scaffolds. The release was achieved by using nanoparticles of poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) carrying IGF-I and TGF1, respectively. On tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS), TGF-1 released from PNIPAM nanoparticles was found to ...
Induction of Partial EMT with Nutrient Restriction and Lysosomal Alkalinization in Caco-2 Colorectal Cancer Cells Hüsnügil, Hepşen Hazal; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2022-8) Limited availability of nutrients to cancer cells can result in metabolic rewiring, manifesting in the activation of processes such as autophagy for survival. Our study shows for the first time that Caco-2 cells incubated in a nutrient-restriction (NR) medium of low glucose, glutamine and serum for 48h were viable but less proliferative, demonstrated robust autophagy induction and lower sensitivity to 5- Fluorouracil. However, the cargo protein p62 was not degraded efficiently, suggesting a slower autop...
Prevention of restrictive adhesions in primary tendon repair by HA-membrane: experimental research in chickens Isik, S; Ozturk, S; Gürses, Senih; Yetmez, M; Guler, MM; Selmanpakoglu, N; Gunhan, O (1999-07-01) Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan polymer that has been found to have some beneficial effects on the prevention of adhesions in primary tendon repairs. The need for slow elimination preparations of HA has been identified. We have combined HA and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in order to get a slow elimination preparation of HA and studied its possible effect on primary tendon healing.
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...
