Detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from the bloodstream holds great importance to diagnose cancer at early stages. However, CTCs being extremely rare in blood makes them difficult to reach. In this paper, we introduced different surface modification techniques for the enrichment and detection of MCF-7 in microfluidic biosensor applications using gold surface and EpCAM antibody. Mainly, two different mechanisms were employed to immobilize the antibodies; covalent bonding and bioaffinity interaction. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed on the gold surfaces were treated further for the immobilization of the antibody. The bioaffinity-based studies were performed with streptavidin and biotinylated EpCAM over the SAM coated surfaces. The cell attachment events were monitored using fluorescent microscope. Comparisons were made considering the length and functional end of alkanethiols and the positioning of the antibody. Then, these methods were integrated into a microfluidic channel system. Surface characterizations were performed with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy, and contact angle measurements. The selectivity studies were carried out with EpCAM negative K562 leukaemia cell lines and the experiments were repeated for different types of surfaces, such as glass and polymer. Studies showed that long (n > 10) and aromatic ring containing alkanethiols lead to better cell capture events compared to shorter ones. Results obtained from the comparisons are of importance for the gold surface-based microfluidic biosensor designs aimed for CTC detection.

A two-compartment bone tumor model to investigate interactions between healthy and tumor cells
Komez, Aylin; Buyuksungur, Arda; Antmen Altunsoy, Ezgi; Swieszkowski, Wojciech; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2020-01-01)
We produced a novel three-dimensional (3D) bone tumor model (BTM) to study the interactions between healthy and tumor cells in a tumor microenvironment, the migration tendency of the tumor cells, and the efficacy of an anticancer drug, Doxorubicin, on the cancer cells. The model consisted of two compartments: (a) a healthy bone tissue mimic, made of poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) sponge seeded with human fetal osteoblastic cells (hFOB) and human umbilical vein...
Capture of circulating tumor cells from blood on modified gold surfaces inside the microfluidic channels
Çetin, Didem; Külah, Haluk; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2019)
Detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from the bloodstream has a critical role in diagnosing and treatment of cancer. However, the number of CTCs in blood compared to other blood cells are extremely rare. In this thesis, various surface modifications strategies for detection of CTCs are studied in order to be used in the microfluidic detection systems. Functionalizing the gold surface with Self Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) used for attaching the EpCAM antibodies, which made possible to immobilize EpCAM...
Label-free enrichment of MCF7 breast cancer cells from leukocytes using continuous flow dielectrophoresis
Arslan, Zeynep Caglayan; Yalcin, Yagmur Demircan; Külah, Haluk (2022-04-01)
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) present in the bloodstream are strongly linked to the invasive behavior of cancer; therefore, their detection holds great significance for monitoring disease progression. Currently available CTC isolation tools are often based on tumor-specific antigen or cell size approaches. However, these techniques are limited due to the lack of a unique and universal marker for CTCs, and the overlapping size between CTCs and regular blood cells. Dielectrophoresis (DEP), governed by the in...
A microarray based expression profiling of paclitaxel and vincristine resistant MCF-7 cells
DEMİREL KARS, MELTEM; Iseri, Ozlem Darcansoy; Gündüz, Ufuk (2011-04-25)
Resistance to the broad spectrum of chemotherapeutic agents in cancer cell lines and tumors has been called multiple drug resistance (MDR). In this study, the molecular mechanisms of resistance to two anticancer agents (paclitaxel and vincristine) in mammary carcinoma cell line MCF-7 were investigated. Drug resistant sublines to paclitaxel (MCF-7/Pac) and vincristine (MCF-7/Vinc) that were developed from sensitive MCF-7 cells (MCF-7/S) were used. cDNA microarray analysis was performed for the RNA samples of...
Examination of the dielectrophoretic spectra of MCF7 breast cancer cells and leukocytes
Çağlayan, Zeynep; Demircan Yalçın, Yağmur; Külah, Haluk (Wiley, 2020-03-01)
The detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood is crucial to assess metastatic progression and to guide therapy. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a powerful cell surface marker-free method that allows intrinsic dielectric properties of suspended cells to be exploited for CTC enrichment/isolation from blood. Design of a successful DEP-based CTC enrichment/isolation system requires that the DEP response of the targeted particles should accurately be known. This paper presents a DEP spectrum method to inve...
