Fluid shear stress is a key biomechanical regulatory factor in a several biological systems including bone tissue. Bone cells are also regulated by exogenous acoustic vibration, which has therapeutic benefits. In this study, we determined the effects of shear stress and pulsed ultrasound (US), alone and in series on osteoblast morphology and gene expression. We observed that shear stress (19 dyne/cm(2)) elongated SaOS-2 cells at 3, 6, 24, and 48 h decreasing their shape index from control values of 0.51 +/- 0.01, 0.60 +/- 0.05, 0.59 +/- 0.04, and 0.45 +/- 0.01 to 0.45 +/- 0.04, 0.47 +/- 0.03, 0.39 +/- 0.02, and 0.33 +/- 0.01, respectively. This morphological effect was inhibited at 24 and 48 h but not at 3 and 6 h by a 20 min pre-exposure to pulsed US (1.5 MHz, 30 mW/cm(2)). Shear stress significantly decreased Bone Morphogenetic Protein-4 (BMP-4) mRNA levels at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h by 32.5 +/- 1.8%, 30.8 +/- 3.5%, 49.6 +/- 2.8%, 23.5 +/- 5.0%, 24.4 +/- 2.3%, respectively. A 20 min pulsed US exposure had no significant effect. However, a 20 min pre-exposure to pulsed US caused significant 39.6 +/- 3.0% and 25.6 +/- 2.7% decreases in BMP-4 levels in shear stress treated cells at 3 and 24 h, respectively. These results show for the first time that pulsed US alters the mechanotransductive effects of shear stress indicating a more comprehensive understanding of therapeutic US will be obtained when it is studied in conjunction with in vivo, regulatory biomechanical forces.

Combination of Computer Simulations and Experimental Measurements as the Training Dataset for Statistical Estimation of Epicardial Activation Maps From Venous Catheter Recordings
Cunedioglu, Ugur; Yilmaz, Buelent (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-03-01)
One of the epicardial mapping techniques requires the insertion of multiple multi-electrode catheters into the coronary vessels. The recordings from the intracoronary catheters reflect the electrical activity on the nearby epicardial sites; however, most of epicardial surface is still inaccessible. In order to overcome this limited access problem, a method called the linear least squares estimation was proposed for the reconstruction of high-resolution maps using sparse measurements. In this technique, the ...
Native extracellular matrix/fibroin hydrogels for adipose tissue engineering with enhanced vascularization
Kayabolen, Alisan; Keskin, Dilek; Aykan, Andac; Karslioglu, Yildirim; Zor, Fatih; Tezcaner, Ayşen (IOP Publishing, 2017-06-23)
Adipose tissue engineering is a promising field for regeneration of soft tissue defects. However, vascularization is needed since nutrients and oxygen cannot reach cells in thick implants by diffusion. Obtaining a biocompatible scaffold with good mechanical properties is another problem. In this study, we aimed to develop thick and vascularized adipose tissue constructs supporting cell viability and adipose tissue regeneration. Hydrogels were prepared by mixing rat decellularized adipose tissue (DAT) and si...
Dual growth factor delivery using PLGA nanoparticles in silk fibroin/PEGDMA hydrogels for articular cartilage tissue engineering
Fathi-Achachelouei, Milad; Keskin, Dilek; Bat, Erhan; Vrana, Nihal E.; Tezcaner, Ayşen (Wiley, 2020-07-01)
Degeneration of articular cartilage due to damages, diseases, or age-related factors can significantly decrease the mobility of the patients. Various tissue engineering approaches which take advantage of stem cells and growth factors in a three-dimensional constructs have been used for reconstructing articular tissue. Proliferative impact of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and chondrogenic differentiation effect of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) over mesenchymal stem cells have previou...
Composite clinoptilolite/PCL-PEG-PCL scaffolds for bone regeneration: In vitro and in vivo evaluation
Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Altunbas, Korhan; Yaprakci, Volkan; Erdemli, Ozge; Keskin, Dilek; Tezcaner, Ayşen (Wiley, 2020-01-01)
In this study, clinoptilolite (CLN) was employed as a reinforcement in a polymer-based composite scaffold in bone tissue engineering and evaluated in vivo for the first time. Highly porous, mechanically stable, and osteogenic CLN/PCL-PEG-PCL (CLN/PCEC) scaffolds were fabricated with modified particulate leaching/compression molding technique with varying CLN contents. We hypothesized that CLN reinforcement in a composite scaffold will improve bone regeneration and promote repair. Therefore, the scaffolds we...
Development of electrically conductive porous silk fibroin/CNF scaffolds.
Tufan, Yiğithan; Garipcan, B; Ercan, B (IOP Publishing, 2020-10-22)
Tissue engineering applications typically require 3D scaffolds which provide requisite surface area for cellular functions, while allowing nutrient, waste and oxygen transportation with the surrounding tissues. Concurrently, scaffolds should ensure sufficient mechanical properties to provide mechanically stable frameworks under physiologically relevant stress levels. In the meantime, electrically conductive platforms are also desired for the regeneration of specific tissues, where electrical impulses are tr...
