Chitosan is a widely used vaccine or anti-cancer delivery vehicle. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effect of chitosan/pIC nanocomplexes on mouse immune cells. Materials and methods: Proliferative and cytotoxic features of chitosan were tested via CCK-8 assay on RAW 264.7. IL-1b p roduction was a ssessed v ia E LISA f rom PEC s upernatants. T NF-a, and NO induction from chitosan treated RAW cells detected by ELISA and Griess assay, respectively. mRNA message levels of TLRs and cytokines on macrophages in response to chitosan/pIC nanocomplex treatments were evaluated by RT-PCR. Results: Results revealed that chitosan is non-toxic to cells, however, proliferative capacities of macrophages were reduced by chitosan administration. Mouse PECs treated with chitosan, led to NLRP3 dependent inflammasome activation as evidenced by dose-dependent IL-1b secretion. Chitosan/pIC nanocomplexes did not improve immunostimulatory action of pIC on RAW cells, since TNF-a and NO productions remained unaltered. Expression levels of several TLRs, CXCL-16 and IFN-a messages from mouse splenocytes were down regulated in response to chitosan/pIC nanocomplex treatment. Conclusion: Our results revealed that chitosan is an anti-proliferative and inflammasome triggering macromolecule on immune cells. Utilization of chitosan as a carrier system is of concern for immunotherapeutic applications.

Chitosan magnetic nanoparticles for pH responsive Bortezomib release in cancer therapy ÜNSOY, GÖZDE; Yalcin, Serap; Khodadust, Rouhollah; Mutlu, Pelin; Onguru, Onder; Gündüz, Ufuk (2014-06-01) The use of nanotechnology in cancer treatment offers exciting opportunities, including the possibility of destroying tumors with minimal damage to healthy tissue by novel targeted drug delivery systems. pH differences between healthy and tumor microenvironment provide pH responsive release of drugs at tumor site via smart nanoparticles. In this study, chitosan coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (CS MNPs) were in situ synthesized by ionic crosslinking method as nanocarrier systems and loaded w...
Pertussis Vaccines: State-of-the-Art and Future Trends Tefon, Burcu E.; Ozcengiz, Erkan; Özcengiz, Gülay (Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., 2013-10-01) Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of whooping cough ( pertussis) which is a worldwide vaccine preventable acute respiratory illness that predominantly involves infants. The reactogenicity of whole-cell (Pw) vaccines and the difficulty of their consistent production have led to the development of acellular pertussis (Pa) vaccines. However, despite high vaccination coverage using either Pw or Pa and introduction of adolescent and adult vaccines with reduced antigen content, there are still reports a...
Chitosan-based wet-spun scaffolds for bioactive agent delivery Ucar, Seniz; Yilgor, Pinar; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2013-12-05) Use of scaffolds both as supporting materials at defect site and delivery vehicles for bioactive agents is a commonly employed strategy to aid in tissue repair and regeneration. In this study, fibrous meshes of chitosan were prepared by wet spinning and coated with alginate. BSA as a model protein and gentamicin as a model antibiotic were incorporated into the scaffolds in multiple loading models and their release kinetics were studied. The effects of structural form of scaffold and properties of bioactive ...
The Effects of doxorubicin containing poly (sebacic anhydride) nanocapsules on glutathione s-transferase activity Çokça, Ceren; Hasırcı, Nesrin; İşgör, S. Belgin; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2015) Nanocapsules are used as drug delivery system commonly. Poly (sebacic anhydride) is a good candidate for the nanocapsule preparation since they are ideal for controlled release application with respect to biocompatibility, low cost, and the approval by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The overactivity of glutathione S-transferase is generally related with the resistance of chemotherapy and this problem can be overcome through drug delivery systems. In this study, poly (sebacic anhydride) - poly (ethyl...
UV responsive drug delivery from suprofen incorporated liposomes Demirbağ, Birsen; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Biotechnology (2011) Drug delivery systems are designed to achieve low, local doses at the target site. Delivery systems can provide the drug in a continuous manner or in response to environmental stimuli such as temperature, pH or UV. This study aimed to develop photosensitive liposomes that achieve UV-responsive release of their content. The main mechanism was to incorporate a light sensitive molecule into the liposomal bilayer then achieve destabilization of the membrane by exposure to UV. This would result in an on demand r...
