Dolaşımdaki tümör hücrelerinin (CTC'ler) izolasyonu ve karakterizasyonu, prognoz ve tedaviye yanıtın erken tespiti açısından önemli klinik öneme sahiptir. Ayrıca, CTC'lerin aşağı akış karakterizasyonu, daha iyi hasta sınıflandırmasına ve tedavi kılavuzluğuna yardımcı olabilir. Bununla birlikte, CTC'ler son derece nadirdir (~ 10 CTC / 1010 periferik kan hücresi) ve oldukça hassastır ve izolasyonları için özel teknoloji gereklidir. Hızla gelişen mikroakışkan teknolojiler, nadir hücre izolasyonunda hızlı, düşük maliyetli ve otomatik numune işleme dahil olmak üzere çeşitli avantajlar ve biyolojik hücrelere benzer fiziksel boyutları nedeniyle daha yüksek hassasiyet ve özgüllük sunar. Bu teknolojilerin çoğu, immünoafinite tabanlı CTC yakalama kullanır, epitel hücre yüzeyi biyobelirtecine karşı anti-EpCAM antikoru, CTC'ye özgü hücre yakalama için yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu tür uygulamalarda, uygun bir antikor immobilizasyonu, yüksek verimli hücre yakalama için çok önemli bir rol oynar. Bu çalışmada, verimli, seçici ve EpCAM'a duyarlı CTC yakalama için bir oksit yüzey modifikasyon stratejisi geliştirilmiştir. Hücre yakalama etkinliği, bir CTC modeli olarak MCF-7 göğüs kanseri hücre dizisi kullanılarak belirlenmiş ve ortalama hücre yakalama etkinliği, 8 bağımsız deneyden% 89 olarak bulunmuştur. Seçici CTC yakalama, hücre konsantrasyonu oranı 1: 104 olan arka plan lökositleri içeren tamponda spike edilmiş göğüs kanseri hücreleri (MCF-7) kullanılarak gösterildi ve sırasıyla% 90 ve% 87'lik yakalama verimliliği ve özgüllüğü elde edildi. Hücre yakalamada EpCAM ekspresyonunun önemi, farklı EpCAM ekspresyon seviyelerine sahip beş farklı meme kanseri hücre dizisi, yani MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, SKBR3, MCF-7 ve CAMA-1 ile gösterilmiştir. Sonuçlar, hücrelerin bağlanma verimliliğinin, hücre yüzeyindeki EpCAM ekspresyon seviyesi ile orantılı olduğunu gösterdi.

Development of manganese-doped hydroxyapatite incorporated PCL electrospun 3D scaffolds coated with gelatin for bone tissue engineering
Samiei, Alaleh; Keskin, Dilek; Evis, Zafer; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2023-1-27)
Combination of polymers and bioceramics has increased their importance in bone tissue engineering (BTE) to treat various defects. Within this frame, in this thesis, it is aimed to develop a 3D gelatin-coated PCL scaffold combined with Mn-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) in order to investigate the effect of the doping element, i.e., the manganese (Mn) ion, on the structural and biological properties of the composite scaffold. Pure and Mn-doped HAs were synthesized using microwave irradiation, and the samples were ...
DEVELOPMENT OF A TIME DOMAIN (TD) NMR APPROACH BY USING THE RELATION BETWEEN MOLECULAR MOBILITY AND CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR TO QUANTIFY CAKING IN FOOD POWDERS
Güner, Selen; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2022-12-19)
Caking is one of the most important factors affecting fluidity and quality of powdered food samples by distorting the stability and functionality. Time-Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (TD-NMR) techniques are frequently used in the polymer, drug and food industries since they require no initial sample preparation before the measurement and provide rapid results. The main goal of the study is to quantify crystallinity by using TD-NMR, Solid Echo (SE) and Magic Sandwich Echo (MSE) sequences. The method was f...
Development of new synthetic strategies for aminocyclitols
Demir (Davulcu), Emine; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2003)
Cyclitols are of great importance due to their biological activities playing a crucial role in living organisms as well as their synthetic usefulness in the synthesis of other natural compounds or pharmaceuticals. In this study, new synthetic strategies leading to the aminocyclitols were investigated. The synthesis of aminoconduritol and aminoinositol derivatives (173 and 174) were achieved starting from easily available compound, 7-oxa-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (166) obtained from...
IDENTIFYING ISOFORM SWITCHES IN BREAST CANCER
HENDEN, Şevki Onur; Can, Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-9-9)
Characterizing the human genome's molecular functions and their variations across people is vital for understanding the cellular processes behind human genetic characteristics and diseases. With the advent of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), it is now possible to investigate gene expression in individual cells. Although a number of scRNA-seq bioinformatics tools are now available, many of them focus on overall gene expression levels and, as a result, often ignore heterogeneity caused by individual tr...
Design of a microfluidic platform for real-time enumeration and retrieval of low concentration of cells
Şahin, Buket; Külah, Haluk; Yıldırım, Ender; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2022-9)
Spiking experiments are essential to characterize the performance of devices developed for rare cell recovery. However, it is challenging to spike tumor cells at very low concentrations in a standard laboratory environment with conventional methods like serial dilution, in which the variation becomes quite high. Other platforms for single-cell picking are extremely high cost and not available in standard laboratories. We propose a low-cost, repeatable, and robust microfluidic system to spike a very low nu...
