In this study, dielectric characterization of multidrug resistant (MDR) K562 human leukemia cells was carried out using a MEMS based electrorotation (ER) device with 3D electrodes. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) dependent MDR causes variation in cell dielectric properties (cell interior conductivity (sigma(i)), membrane capacitance (C-m) and total effective membrane conductance (G(m)*)) due to overexpression of P-gp, which modulates the activity of membrane-bound Cl- channels. Different cell populations resistant to varying levels of doxorubicin (DOX, 0.1-0.5 mu M) and imatinib (IMA, 0.2-0.5 mu M) were studied to reveal the relationship between cell dielectric properties and the degree of drug resistance. ER characterization results proved considerable changes in cell membrane and interior dielectric properties as the resistance level to chemotherapeutic drugs changes. The membrane dielectric properties of the cells increase significantly at low (0.1-0.2 mu M) drug resistance levels (K562/IMA-0.2: C-m = 15.63 +/- 3.02 mF m(-2) and G(m)* = 2953 +/- 82 S m(-2), and K562/DOX-0.1: C-m = 12.29 +/- 2.15 mF m(-2) and G(m)* = 1810 +/- 14 S m(-2)), compared to the sensitive ones (C-m = 8.93 +/- 1.43 mF m(-2) and G(m)* = 336 +/- 73 S m(-2)). However, they follow a decreasing trend as the drug resistance level increases (0.3-0.5 mu M). The membrane capacitance and effective conductance for IMA resistant K562 cells falls to 8.10 +/- 1.69 mF m(-2) and 113 +/- 18 S m(-2) in 0.5 mu M resistant cells, respectively. Similarly, the membrane capacitance and effective conductance of DOX resistant cells falls to 8.70 +/- 1.71 mF m(-2) and 1377 +/- 22 S m(-2) in 0.5 mu M resistant cells, respectively. However, no direct relationship could be observed between increased drug resistance and cell interior conductivity, which showed an oscillating behavior. Results prove that the degree of drug resistance significantly affects the dielectric properties of K562 cells, although they possess a similar size and morphology. Variations in cell dielectric properties result in differences in DEP crossover frequencies, which could be utilized in the detection and separation of MDR using dielectrophoretic based devices.

Dielectric Analysis of Changes in Electric Properties of Doxorubicin Resistant K562 Leukemic Cells Through Electrorotation with 3 D Electrodes Garsha, Bahrieh; Erdem, Murat; Özgür, Ebru; Gündüz, Ufuk; Külah, Haluk (2013-10-31) In this study, dielectric characterization of multidrug resistant (MDR) K562 human leukemia cells was carried out using a MEMS-based electrorotation (ER) device with 3D electrodes. Different cell populations were utilized, which were resistant to 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 μM doxorubicin. The ER devices with 3D quadruple electrodes (30 urn in height) were used, in order to eliminate the fringing field effect on the rotation of cells. Signals in phase quadrature were applied to the polynomial electrodes, to induce th...
Dielectric Characterization of Imatinib Resistant K562 Leukemia Cells through Electrorotation with 3-D Electrodes Bahrieh, G.; Koydemir, H. Ceylan; Erdem, Murat; Ozgur, E.; Gündüz, Ufuk; Külah, Haluk (2013-11-06) This study reports the use of electrorotation (ER) technique within a micro-fabricated device with 3D electrodes for dielectric characterization of Imatinib-resistant K562 (K562/IMA-0.2) human leukemic cells. The ER devices with 3D quadruple electrodes (30 mu m in height) were used in order to eliminate the fringing field effect on the rotation of cells. To induce the rotational moment on the cells, signals in phase quadrature were applied to the triangular electrodes. The rotation of cells measured at the ...
Dielectrophoretic detection of imatinib resistance in K562 Cells Using A lab-on-a-chip system Demircan Yalçın, Yağmur; Toral, Taylan Berkın; Sukaş, Serkan; Yıldırım, Ender; Zorlu, Özge; Gündüz, Ufuk; Külah, Haluk (Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society (CBMS); 2019-10-27) This study presents label-free detection of imatinib resistance in K562 cells via integrated dielectrophoretic detection and impedimetric counting on a lab-on-a-chip system. Two impedimetric counting units were placed upstream and downstream of dielectrophoretic detection unit to obtain differential cell count and consequently the trapping ratio. The trapping ratio up to 57% was achieved for imatinib resistant (~60-fold) K562 cells, while it was minimized to 20% for wild type K562 cells
Preparation and characterization of sulfonated polysulfone/titanium dioxide composite membranes for proton exchange membrane fuel cells Devrim, Yiser; Erkan, Serdar; BAÇ, NURCAN; Eroğlu, İnci (2009-05-01) In the present study, sulfonated polysulfone (sPS)/titanium dioxide (TiO2) composite membranes for use in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) were investigated. Polysulfone (PS) was sulfonated with trimethylsilyl chlorosulfonate in 1,2 dichloroethane at ambient temperatures. It was shown that the degree of sulfonation is increased with the molar ratio of the sulfonating agent to PS repeat unit. The degree of sulfonation was determined by elemental analysis and H-1 NMR was performed to verify the su...
Nanopatterning of Collagen Scaffolds Improve the Mechanical Properties of Tissue Engineered Vascular Grafts Zorlutuna, P.; Elsheikh, A.; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2009-04-01) Tissue engineered constructs with cells growing in an organized manner have been shown to have improved mechanical properties. This can be especially important when constructing tissues that need to perform under load, such as cardiac and vascular tissue. Enhancement of mechanical properties of tissue engineered vascular grafts via orientation of smooth muscle cells by the help of topographical cues have not been reported yet. In the present study, collagen scaffolds with 650, 500, and 332.5 nm wide nanocha...
