Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, which has no complete treatment with medication yet. Intraarticular hyaluronan (HA) injection can decrease pain and modify the natural course of OA. This study was designed to provide long term delivery of an MMP (matrix-metalloproteinase) inhibitor agent-doxycycline, together with matrix regenerative agent-chondroitin sulfate for treating OA which progress with matrix degenerations. Doxycycline (D) and doxycycline-chondroitin sulfate (D-CS) loaded poly--caprolactone (PCL) microspheres (MS) were prepared as intraarticular delivery systems. Bio-effectiveness of developed microspheres was first evaluated with three-dimensional in vitro model of OA where both MS showed significant reduction in MMP-13 levels compared to untreated OA-chondrocytes at 15 and 24 days. Significant decrease was observed in GAG release into the media for both D MS and D-CS MS treated groups at 15 and 24 days. Second, the microspheres were injected to rabbit knee in hyaluronan (HA) to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment. Radiographic scores of D MS and D-CS MS groups improved after 8 weeks when compared to OA group. Mankin-Pitzker histological scores similarly showed improvement with D MS and D-CSMS groups when compared to OA group. Ex vivo hardness tests of cartilages demonstrated superior hardness values with both doses of D-CSMS compared to OA group. D MS showed promising improvement of OA in histology results. Although, both MS groups had similar effects on cells in the in vitro model, D-CSMS had a positive contribution on all in vivo treatment outcomes and showed potential as a new strategy for treatment when applied to OA knee joints.

In Situ, In Vitro and In Vivo evaluation of effectiveness of new treatment approaches involving controlled drug delivery systems in cartilage degenerations Aydın, Özlem; Keskin, Dilek; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Department of Engineering Sciences (2011) Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease which has yet no complete treatment with medication. Doxycycline, a well-known antibiotic, has been shown to prevent matrixmetallopreoteinases-MMPs, indicating potency on OA treatment. However, long term systemic use can cause side effects on other tissues. This study aimed to develop controlled drug delivery systems of doxycycline/doxycycline-chondroitin sulfate (D/D-CS) in the form of PCL microspheres for providing a better and new treatment approach via...
In vitro evaluation of effects of sustained anti-TNF release from MPEG-PCL-MPEG and PCL microspheres on human rheumatoid arthritis synoviocytes Erdemli, Ozge; Özen, Seza; Keskin, Dilek; Usanmaz, Ali; Batu, Ezgi Deniz; Atilla, Bülent; Tezcaner, Ayşen (2014-10-01) Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) drugs such as etanercept (ETN) have been mostly used in systemic treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. To eliminate the side effects in long-term treatments and to achieve a local sustained anti-inflammatory effect, a controlled drug delivery system is needed for anti-TNF drugs. This study aims to develop novel injectable microcarriers of ETN that can provide long-term controlled release of this protein drug upon intra-articular application. In this study, poly(epsilon-caprolac...
Synthesis and characterization of fatty acid based hyperbranched polymers for anti-cancer drug delivery Güç, Esra; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2008) Conventional methods of chemotherapy requires novel therapy systems due to serious side effects and inefficiency of drug administration. In recent years many studies are carried out to improve drug delivery systems. Polymers are one of the most important elements for drug delivery research due to their versatility. By the discovery of dendritic polymers, drug delivery studies gained a new vision. Highly branched monodisperse structure, multiple sites of attachment, well-defined size and controllable physica...
Characterization and Evaluation of Triamcinolone, Raloxifene, and Their Dual-Loaded Microspheres as Prospective Local Treatment System in Rheumatic Rat Joints Ocal, Yigit; Kurum, Baris; Karahan, Siyami; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Ozen, Seza; Keskin, Dilek (Elsevier BV, 2014-8) In this study, injectable microspheres were developed for the local treatment of joint degeneration in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Microspheres loaded with triamcinolone (TA), a corticosteroid drug, and/or raloxifene (Ral), a cartilage regenerative drug, were prepared with a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer, polycaprolactone (PCL). Microspheres were optimized for particle size, structural properties, drug release, and loading properties. In vitro release of Ral was very slow because of the low solubil...
INVESTIGATION OF CLONAL EVOLUTION IN CAPECITABINE RESISTANT CACO-2 AND IRINOTECAN RESISTANT HT-29 CELL LINES BY USING CELLULAR BARCODING TECHNOLOGY Danışık, Nurseda; Acar, Ahmet; Özen, Can; Department of Biotechnology (2022-10-31) The development of drug resistance in tumor cells is one of the biggest problems currently in the clinic. As the pace of drug discovery slows and each new drug becomes increasingly expensive to bring to market, it is becoming clearer that better model systems and an understanding of drug resistance mechanisms are needed for second-line therapies. The overall aim of this project is to investigate the clonal evolution and drug resistance in colorectal cancer cell lines Caco-2 and HT-29 by using cellular barco...
