Three-dimensional epithelial tissue equivalents tend to lose their self-renewing potential progressively during culture as their epithelial cells lose their proliferative capacity with time. Even though the tissue engineered construct can mimic the native tissue well, it rapidly degrades after implantation due to the insufficient number of proliferating cells in the equivalent. In the present study we demonstrate for the first time that the use of an elastin-like recombinant polymer (ELR) engineered to contain the cell adhesion peptide RGD can result in a 3D tissue equivalent with high self-renewing potential, containing as many proliferative cells as the native tissue itself. The 3D tissue equivalent was reconstructed by the coculture of human lamina propria fibroblasts and oral epithelial cells in the nanofibrous ELR-collagen scaffold. Histological, immunohistological and transmission electron microscopic analyses of this oral mucosa equivalent demonstrated the expression of markers characteristic of epithelial proliferation (Ki67) and differentiation (keratin 13), and also the presence of a pluristratified epithelium and an ultrastructurally well-organized basement membrane expressing laminin 332. The synthesis of new extracellular matrix by the fibroblasts was also demonstrated. The scaffold proposed here presents great potential for tissue engineering applications, and also for studies of epithelial proliferation, and epithelial disorders including carcinogenesis.

The Effect of physical properties of the ELP-collagen based patterned surfaces on cell attachment and deformation Antmen, Ezgi; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Demirci, Utkan; Department of Biology (2013) Cell and substrate interactions are important in tissue engineering products especially on the behavior of the cells such as adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. These have been widely studied using substrates with different physical, chemical, and mechanical properties and form. In this study, elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs) were used blended with collagen or only collagen as the surface material. The ELR used in this study has Valine-Proline-Glycine-X-Glycine aminoacid sequences in i...
The role of multiple toll-like receptor signalling cascades on interactions between biomedical polymers and dendritic cells Shokouhi, Behnaz; Coban, Cevayir; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Aydin, Erkin; Dhanasingh, Anandhan; Shi, Nian; Koyama, Shohei; Akira, Shizuo; Zenke, Martin; Sechi, Antonio S. (2010-08-01) Biomaterials are used in several health-related applications ranging from tissue regeneration to antigen-delivery systems. Yet, biomaterials often cause inflammatory reactions suggesting that they profoundly alter the homeostasis of host immune cells such as dendritic cells (DCs). Thus, there is a major need to understand how biomaterials affect the function of these cells. In this study, we have analysed the influence of chemically and physically diverse biomaterials on DCs using several murine knockouts. ...
Evaluating Oxygen Tensions Related to Bone Marrow and Matrix for MSC Differentiation in 2D and 3D Biomimetic Lamellar Scaffolds Sayin, Esen; Baran, Erkan Turker; Elsheikh, Ahmed; Mudera, Vivek; Cheema, Umber; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2021-04-01) The physiological O-2 microenvironment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts and the dimensionality of a substrate are known to be important in regulating cell phenotype and function. By providing the physiologically normoxic environments of bone marrow (5%) and matrix (12%), we assessed their potential to maintain stemness, induce osteogenic differentiation, and enhance the material properties in the micropatterned collagen/silk fibroin scaffolds that were produced in 2D or 3D. Expression of ost...
Enhanced recombinant human growth hormone production by synchronous populations of two different strains of pichia pastoris under GAP promoter Hüccetoğulları, Damla; Çalık, Pınar; İnan, Mehmet; Department of Biotechnology (2016) Cell cycle synchronization used as a common procedure for understanding various genomic and metabolic phenomena in a cell is also an essential tool to optimize the production of biomolecules. In this work, the effect of cell cycle synchronization on the recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production by Pichia pastoris under glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAP) promoter was investigated. Starvation as a cost effective and readily applicable synchronization method was performed to investigate va...
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...
