Conventional chemotherapy is the most valid method to cope with cancer; however, it has serious drawbacks such as decrease in production of blood cells or inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract. These side effects occur since generally the drugs used in chemotherapy are distributed evenly within the body of the patient and cannot distinguish the cancer cells from the healthy ones. In this study, folic acid (FA)-conjugated, polyethylene-coated magnetic nanoparticles (FA-MNPs), and doxorubicin (Dox)-loaded formulation (Dox-FA-MNPs) were prepared. The cytotoxicity of these nanoparticles on HeLa and Dox-resistant HeLa cells was investigated. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated MNPs (PEG-MNPs), and FA-MNPs were successfully synthesized and characterized by several methods. Dox loading of FA-MNPs and release profile of Dox from the nanoparticles were studied. Cytotoxic effects of FA-MNPs and Dox-FA-MNPs on HeLa cells were analyzed. MNPs, PEG-MNPs, and FA-MNPs all had small sizes and supermagnetic behavior. High amounts of Dox could be loded onto the nanoparticles (290 gmL(-1)). In 24 h, 15.7% of Dox was released from the Dox-FA-MNPs. The release was increased in acidic conditions (pH 4.1). Internalization studies showed that FA-MNPs and Dox-FA-MNPs were taken up efficiently by HeLa cells. The investigation of cytotoxicity of the particles indicated that 38-500 gmL(-1) Dox-FA-MNPs significantly decreased the proliferation of HeLa cells compared to FA-MNPs. Due to their size, magnetic properties, internalization, drug release, and cytotoxicity characteristics, the MNPs prepared in this study may have potential application as a drug delivery system in cancer chemotherapy.

Investigaton of chemopreventive properties of Urtica Dioica L., in MCF-7 and MDA231 breast cancer cell lines
Güler, Elif; İşcan, Mesude; Department of Biology (2011)
Cancer is a major health problem in developing world with mostly unsufficient treatment. Cancer prevention through dietary modification appears to be a practical and cost effective possibility. The aim of present study is to investigate the chemical components of “Urtica diocia,L (U. diocia) grown in Turkey” and the possible protective potential of its aqueous extract against breast cancer cell lines. U. diocia was extracted by maceration method which was performed for 6,12, 24, and 36 hours, at 50°C, 37°C,...
Multiscale tumor modeling
Ünsal, Serbülent; Acar, Aybar Can; Department of Health Informatics (2014)
Cancer’s complex behavior decreases success rates of the cancer therapies. The usual steps cancer therapy are, deciding phase of the cancer and planing the therapy according to medical guidelines and there is no room or chance for personalized medicine. Simulation systems that use patient specific data as input and up-to-date scientific evidence as business rules has chance to help clinicians for evidence based personalized medicine practice.In this study our aim is creating a basic model to guide researche...
Vimentin silencing effect on invasive and migration characteristics of doxorubicin resistant MCF-7 cells
Tezcan, Okan; Gündüz, Ufuk (2014-04-01)
Chemotherapy is one of the well-known treatments in cancer therapy. The effectiveness of chemotherapy is limited by several factors one of which is the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR). One of the major mechanisms of MDR is the activity of several ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters that pump drugs out of the cells. Doxorubicin intercalates and inhibits DNA replication; it is a powerful chemotherapeutic agent. However, it causes development of MDR in tumor cells. Vimentin is a type III intermedia...
Preparation and evaluation of polymer based microcarriers for hydrophobic anti-cancer drugs
Demetçi, Demet; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biotechnology (2007)
Chemotherapy is one of the most important treatments for cancer. However, systemic toxicity, drug resistance and unstable kinetics of the drug in the blood are serious problems of chemotherapy. The use of biodegradable polymers for controlled release of anticancer drugs has gained popularity in recent years. Controlled release of drugs from polymeric carriers has some advantages such as improvement in the efficiency of treatment, reduction in systemic toxicity and prevention of the drug resistance that is d...
Menadione (Vitamin K3) and Doxorubicin loaded liposomes for enhanced anticancer effect by dual treatment
Akkad, Suzan; Keskin, Dilek; Özen, Can; Department of Biotechnology (2022-9-02)
Chemotherapy is the first line of cancer treatment, but due to its adverse effects, it is set to be limited. Therefore, liposomes are mainly extensively studied to be employed as nanocarriers as they are more advantageous than traditional therapy. They overcome the obstacle of cellular and tissue uptake and improve drugs’ bioavailability, biodistribution and pharmacokinetics. Doxorubicin, an anthracycline drug, is widely used to treat hematological malignancies and solid tumors, to ameliorate its usage a li...
