Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of cholesterol content and cationic property of liposomes on immune response. Materials and methods: Liposomes containing high amounts of 3ß-[N-(N',N'-dimethylaminoethane)- carbamoyl] cholesterol hydrochloride (DC-cholesterol) were prepared and loaded with K- and D-type CpG oligonucleotide (CpG-ODN) via dehydration-rehydration (DRV) method. After splenocytes and peritoneal exudate cells (PECs) primed with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was incubated either with free or liposomal CpG-ODN counterparts, supernatants were collected and used in cytokine (IFN-g, IL-12 and IL-1ß) ELISA. Additionally, supernatants of PECs primed with LPS and stimulated with liposomes containing different doses of DC-cholesterol were collected and used in IL-1ß ELISA assay. Results: Low-dose CpG-ODN loaded liposomal formulations induced higher immune activation than free CpG-ODN at the same dose. While high-dose liposomal CpG-ODN formulations decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine production in splenocytes, they increased the secretion of IL-1ß. Inflammasome activation was increased in a dose dependent manner when PECs primed with LPS were incubated with only liposomes. Varying lipid molar ratios of DC-Cholesterol containing liposomes increased IL-1ß production based on increasing lipid molar ratio. Conclusion: This study revealed that type and lipid ratio of liposomes may alter the cellular efficacy of the loaded immune-stimulatory agent and may initiate inflammasome activation.

Cloning, sequencing and expression of L-lactate dehydrogenase gene from clostridium thermocellum and isolation, characterization and transformation of various cellulolytic, thermophilic, ethanol-producing bacteria Özkan, Melek; Özcengiz, Gülay; Ögel, Zümrüt B.; Department of Biotechnology (2002) In this study, the structural gene for L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; EC. 1.1. 1.27) was cloned and characterized for the first time from Clostridium thermocellum 27405 in Escherichia coli. A 357 bp PCR product of predicted size was obtained with degenerate primers designed for conserved regions of Idh genes of different organisms. This amplicon was used as a probe to screen a Lambda Zap II phage library of C. thermocellum genomic DNA. One positive clone contained an insert of 2.5 kb which included an open r...
Metabological engineering of Pichia Pastoris for extracellular thermostable glucose isomerase production Ata, Özge; Çalık, Pınar; Özdamar, Tunçer H.; Department of Biotechnology (2012) The aim of this study is to develop a metabolically engineered P. pastoris strain for production of an active extracellular thermostable glucose isomerase (GI) enzyme by using genetic engineering techniques. For this purpose, research program was performed in two sub-programs. In the first sub-program, xylA gene from Thermus thermophilus was amplified and inserted into pPICZα-A expression vector. Thereafter, this pPICZα-A::xylA vector was cloned into AOX1 locus in P. pastoris genome and expressed under alco...
In vitro induction of growth and development of common juniper(Juniperus communis L.) from shoot and bud explants Koçer, Zeynep Ahsen; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biotechnology (2005) The objective of the study was to investigate the optimum conditions for in vitro regeneration of common juniper (Juniperus communis L.) by using indirect organogenesis approach. Throughout the study; callus induction, organogenesis, improved organogenesis and root induction experiments were performed sequentially. It was found that explant position, genotype, gender, treatments and sampling time had significant effects on callus induction rate in common juniper. The results of treatments indicated that IBA...
Cloning and characterization of Streptomyces clavuligerus meso-diaminopimelate decarboxylase (lysA) gene Yağcıoğlu, Çiğdem; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2004) In Streptomyces clavuligerus, the route to the biosynthesis of a-aminoadipic acid (a-AAA) represents an important primary metabolic pathway providing carbon flux to the synthetases of antibiotic formation. This carbon flow comes through the lysine-specific branch of the aspartate pathway and is rate limiting in the formation of cephamycin C, a second generation cephalosporin produced by this organism. In this study, the lysA gene which encodes for an important key enzyme of aspartate pathway; meso-diaminopi...
Extracellular recombinant human growth hormone production by pichia pastoris Orman, Mehmet Ali; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) In this study, the effects of bioprocess operation parameters on recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production by P. pastoris were systematically investigated. In this frame, first, for the extracellular expression and purification of human growth hormone by recombinant P. pastoris the cDNA of hGH, fused with a polyhistidine tag and also fused with a target site for the Factor Xa protease in which cleavage produces a mature N- and C- termini of rhGH, was cloned into pPICZαA plasmid and the constructed ...
