Taşar, Cansu
Different compositions of bioactive glass nanoparticles have been investigated for various applications, including cancer treatment, drug delivery, bone regeneration, etc. However, targeting of bioactive glass nanoparticles to desired tissues still remains to be a challenge. In this research, sol-gel synthesized bioactive glass and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were combined using two different approaches to obtain magnetic bioactive glass nanoparticle composites. In the first approach SPIONs were embedded into the bioactive glass nanoparticles (SEBG), and in the second approach SPIONs were deposited onto them as a thin shell (SDBG). The dimensions of the nanoparticles were calculated to be 180±9 and 420±10nm for SEBG and SDBG, respectively. The magnetizations of the nanoparticles were measured to be 4 and 9 emu/g for SEBG and SDBG, respectively. In vitro bioactivity experiments showed hydroxyapatite formation on both nanoparticles after soaking them in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 14 days. Additionally, bone cells proliferated and remained viable up to 7 days of culture in vitro upon their interaction with SEBG and SDBG nanoparticles. Similar viability results were also observed once experiments were carried out in the presence of 0.4T external static magnetic field to better mimic cellular response under magnetic targeting. Cumulatively, these results demonstrated that the synthesized magnetic bioactive glass nanoparticles were superparamagnetic, promoted bone cell viability independent of the presence of magnetic field and exhibited bioactive properties.

Structural and biological assessment of boron doped bioactive glass nanoparticles for dental tissue applications
Rad, Rezai Moonesi; Alshemary, Ammar Zeıdan Ghaılan; Evis, Zafer; Keskin, Dilek; Altunbas, Korhan; Tezcaner, Ayşen (2018-06-01)
In this article, bioactive glass nanoparticles (BG-NPs) doped with boron were synthesized and characterized to evaluate their effects on human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). All synthesized BGs were nano-sized and amorphous in nature. They showed the expected characteristic functional groups and composition close to the designed ones by microstructural characterizations. Porositimetry analysis revealed that increase of boron in the BG composition caused a decrease in the specific surface area, average por...

Uzun, Mehmet Burak; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Department of Chemistry (2023-1-06)
Multifunctional particles with multiple properties are used in biomedical applications for cancer treatment. With the recently developing technology, particles with photoluminescent properties can perform real-time imaging. In this study, Ce3+/Tb3+ co-doped, Eu3+ doped GdB3O6 particles were synthesized, coated with hydroxyapatite (HAP) and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Then, particles were loaded with doxorubicin. Ce3+/Tb3+ co-doped and Eu3+ doped GdB3O6 particles were synthesized by the sol-gel process using ...
Targeted delivery of CPG-oligodeoxynucleotide to breast cancer cells by poly-amidoamine dendrimer-modified magnetic nanoparticles
Taghavi Pourianazar, Negar; Gündüz, Ufuk; Gündüz, Güngör; Department of Biotechnology (2016)
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...

Saraç, Başak Ezgi; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün; Volkan, Mürvet; Department of Biology (2018)
Nanotechnology in medicine involves the applications of nanoparticles and one of the rising field is cancer nanotechnology, which has been increasingly used in cancer diagnostics, imaging, and therapeutic drug delivery. The advantage of the use of the nanoparticles is that, they can be designed to be specific for tumor tissue. This allows increased drug delivery efficiency and reduced off-target toxicities. Iron oxide nanoparticles used in this study are smaller than 100 nm but still it gives an enhanced su...
