Zinc-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles were synthesized by microwave assisted method and used with ionizing radiation for inhibition of proliferation of breast cancer cells. Zinc-doped HAs were produced in four different compositions in order to determine the best doping rate in terms of physical and biological properties. Nanoparticle characterizations were performed with X-ray diffractometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Viability of MDA-MB-231(isolated at M D Anderson from a pleural effusion of a patient with invasive ductal carcinoma) cells treated with nano-HA particles and radiation were assessed by MTT assay. Caspase-7 and Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase protein expressions in samples were examined by the Western blot. X-ray diffraction patterns of our samples were found to be in good correlation with the reference HA peaks. Notably, increasing zinc amount resulted in elevated percentage of beta-tricalcium phosphate, phases. All formulations including pure HA particles were non-cytotoxic in MDA MB 231 cells. On the other hand, low rate Zn-doped HA particles showed significant anti-proliferation effect during irradiation. The combination of irradiation with Zn-doped HA particles also induced apoptosis, demonstrated as cleavage of caspase-7 and PARP proteins. In conclusion, low rate Zn-doped HA enhanced the radiation effect on breast cancer cells.

CpG oligodeoxynucleotide- loaded PAMAM dendrimer-coated magnetic nanoparticles promote apoptosis in breast cancer cells
Pourianazar, Negar Taghavi; Gündüz, Ufuk (2016-03-01)
One major application of nanotechnology in cancer treatment involves designing nanoparticles to deliver drugs, oligonucleotides, and genes to cancer cells. Nanoparticles should be engineered so that they could target and destroy tumor cells with minimal damage to healthy tissues. This research aims to develop an appropriate and efficient nanocarrier, having the ability of interacting with and delivering CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODNs) to tumor cells. CpG-ODNs activate Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), which...
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...
Magnetic Half Generation PAMAM Dendrimeric Nanoparticles for Targeting Delivery of Gemcitabine
Maryam, Parsian; Mutlu, Pelin; Yalçın Azarkan, Serap; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Gündüz, Ufuk (2015-06-09)
Antitumor activity of Gemcitabine, a nucleoside analogue, has been reported in a variety of human tumors, including breast cancer in both experimental and clinical studies. Conventional chemotherapeutic agents are unspecifically distributed all over the body where they affect both cancerous and normal cells. They cause major systemic toxicities and drug resistance, which also restricts drugs therapeutic efficacy. Recent advances in nanotechnology have explored new targeting strategies for enhancing intra-tu...
Micropatterned Surfaces Expose the Coupling between Actin Cytoskeleton-Lamin/Nesprin and Nuclear Deformability of Breast Cancer Cells with Different Malignancies.
Antmen Altunsoy, Ezgi; Hasirci, Vasif (2021-01-01)
Mechanotransduction proteins transfer mechanical stimuli through nucleo‐cytoskeletal coupling and affect the nuclear morphology of cancer cells. However, the contribution of actin filament integrity has never been studied directly. It is hypothesized that differences in nuclear deformability of cancer cells are influenced by the integrity of actin filaments. In this study, transparent micropatterned surfaces as simple tools to screen cytoskeletal and nuclear distortions are presented. Surfaces decorated wit...
Photovoltaic Properties of Poly(Triphenylamine-Thiazolo[5,4-d] Thiazole) Copolymer Dye in Bulk-Hetorojunction Organic Solar Cells
Olgun, Ugursoy; Gulfen, Mustafa; HIZALAN, Gonul; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2017-04-01)
In this study, the photovoltaic properties of poly(triphenylamine-thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole) alternating copolymer dye in bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells were examined. The copolymer is a red colored dye material with high thermal stability, good solubility and low-band gap energy. The band gap energy of the polymer was determined as 1.36 eV. The conductivity of the polymer thin film was measured as 1.5x10(-5) S/cm. The polymer solar cells were fabricated using the different ratios of the blends of th...
