    Abstract Diseases such as autoimmune, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases or obesity have a serious impact on the lives of patients all rise from a common point; the immune system. Various in vitro and in vivo studies on regulating the immune system have been made to correct these diseases. As one of the key effector cells of the immune system, T lymphocytes are the focus of many of these studies. In this study, exosomes isolated from a known anti-inflammatory plant, celery, were used to suppress the inflammatory response of T lymphocytes. Celery-derived exosomes (C-Exo) were isolated using an aqueous two-phase isolation method. The size distribution, morphology, particle concentration, and GC-FAME-based lipidomic analysis were determined for the isolated C-Exo. T lymphocytes were stimulated using Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)/ionomycin, and treated with various doses of C-Exo. T lymphocyte responses were measured using qPCR and capillary Western blots. According to the results, C-Exo suppressed T lymphocytes in a dose-dependent manner in in vitro conditions. These findings show the potential of C-Exo as a therapeutic agent for immune disorders. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Excessive immune response in the body adversely affects the treatment mechanism and process of many diseases such as autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative diseases and GDHV. In this preliminary study, the role of extracellular vesicles obtained from celery roots in suppressing this high immune response was investigated. The suppressive effect of celery exosome was observed by creating an immune response in T cells and PBMC cells, which play a leading role in the immune response. The role of these vesicles in immune suppression, obtained from the root part of the celery plant and characterized, was determined by measuring both mRNA, intracellular protein and extracellular cytokine levels. Celery exosome suppressed activated T lymphocyte cells and PBMC cells in a dose-dependent manner. These vesicles, which can be used as an edible, can be used in many areas as immunosuppressants.

    Abstract Exosomes are small membrane-derived vesicles that transmit DNA constituents, mRNAs, microRNAs, and proteins from donor cells to a receiver cell. Various cells comprising of mesenchymal, immune, and cancer cells discharge exosomes. Cancer cell exosomes form the entry and reprogramming of essentials connected to a tumor environment. Melanoma-derived exosomes transport diverse proteins such as c-MET and RAB27a, which leave a melanoma mark. Increased mesenchymal epithelial transition (MET) expressions in serum exosomes have been considered an indicator of disease progression. Meanwhile, RAB27a has been identified as being involved in exosome discharge and trafficking. Decreased expressions of RAB27a in human melanoma cells have shown to diminish exosome release.We examined the effects of the downregulation and upregulation of RAB27a and c-MET in human dermal fibroblasts by utilizing the isolated exosomes of malignant melanoma cell lines. Melanoma exosomes derived from cancer cells conveyed information to healthy dermal fibroblasts and stem cells while inducing phenotypic change. In this chapter, we show optimized protocols that were used by our group for in vitro analysis with melanoma exosomes.

    Abstract Objectives: The present study aimed to (1) investigate biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of pulp-capping materials on viability of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs); (2) determine angiogenic, odontogenic, and osteogenic marker mRNA expressions; and (3) observe changes in surface morphology of the hDPSCs using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
    Methods: Impacted third molars were used to isolate the hDPSCs, which were treated with extract-release fluids of the pulp-capping materials (Harvard BioCal-Cap, NeoPUTTY MTA, TheraCal LC, and Dycal). Effects of the capping materials on cell viability were assessed using 3-(4,5-di-methyl-thiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxy-methoxy-phenyl)-2-(4-sulfo-phenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay and the apoptotic/necrotic cell ratios and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels from flow cytometry. Marker expressions (alkaline phosphatase [ALP], osteocalcin [OCN], collagen type I alpha 1 [Col1A], secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine [SPARC], osteonectin [ON], and vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF]) were determined by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Changes in surface morphology of the hDPSCs were visualised by SEM.
    Results: The MTS assay results at days 1, 3, 5, and 7 indicated that Harvard BioCal-Cap, NeoPUTTY MTA, and TheraCal LC did not adversely affect cell viability when compared with the control group. According to the MTS assay results at day 14, no significant difference was found amongst Dycal, Harvard BioCal-Cap, NeoPUTTY MTA, and TheraCal LC affecting cell viability. Dycal was the only capping material that increased ROS level. High levels of VEGF expression were observed with Harvard BioCal-Cap, TheraCal LC, and NeoPUTTY MTA. NeoPUTTY MTA, and Dycal upregulated OCN expression, whereas TheraCal LC upregulated Col1A and SPARC expression. Only Dycal increased ALP expression. HDSCs were visualized in characteristic spindle morphology on SEM when treated with TheraCal LC and Harvard BioCal-Cap.
    Conclusions: NeoPUTTY MTA and Harvard BioCal-Cap showed suitable biocompatibility values; in particular, these pulp-capping materials were observed to support the angiogenic marker.

    Abstract Angiogenesis is a central component of vital biological processes such as wound healing, tissue nourishment, and development. Therefore, angiogenic activities are precisely maintained with secreted factors such as angiopoietin-1 (Ang1), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). As an element of intracellular communication, extracellular vesicles (EVs)-particularly EVs of vascular origin-could have key functions in maintaining angiogenesis. However, the functions of EVs in the control of angiogenesis have not been fully studied. In this study, human umbilical vein endothelial cell line (HUVEC)-derived small EVs (<200 nm; HU-sEVs) were investigated as a potential pro-angiogenic agent. Treating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and mature HUVEC cells with HU-sEVs induced their tube formation under in vitro conditions and significantly increased the expression of angiogenesis-related genes, such as Ang1, VEGF, Flk-1 (VEGF receptor 2), Flt-1 (VEGF receptor 1), and vWF (von Willebrand Factor), in a dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that HU-sEVs take part in angiogenesis activities in physiological systems, and suggest endothelial EVs as a potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment of angiogenesis-related diseases.

    Abstract Cancer is a complex and multistage disease that causes suffering worldwide. Several mutations in tumor suppressor proteins are mostly responsible for tumorigenic development. Thus, determination of the mutations and developing a mutation targeted therapy are crucial in order to cure cancer. Moreover, since healthy cells do not have mutations in their tumor suppressor genes, mutation-specific treatment is responsible for selective treatment without harming a healthy tissue in the body. In this current study, lead borate nanoparticles (LB-Np) have been synthesized, and their effects on P53 mutant cancer cells were investigated. The synthesis method includes steps of mixing a borate buffer solution with the lead nitrate solution, washing the resulting precipitate with distilled water and eventually preparing stable LB-Np solutions. Cell viability analysis was conducted to identify the toxicity of LB-Np in HaCaT, A549, MCF7, and T47D cell lines. The changes in morphologies of breast cancer cell lines were demonstrated by using microscopical analysis. Additionally, alterations in gene expressions were determined in breast cancer cell lines after LB-Np treatment. This multidisciplinary study also identified the selective effect of LB-Np in cancer cell lines, in vitro. MTS and quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays demonstrated the effect of LB-Np were specific for p53 mutation cell line, T47D. Breast cancer cell line T47D has 580 C/T mutation which affects the activation of p53 tumor suppressor protein. However, LB-Np treatment effectively killed T47D cell lines and did not affect any other cell lines that have no p53 mutations such as MCF7, A549, and healthy HaCaT. Overall, synthesized LB-Np were found to be effective in p53-mutated cell lines and showed a remarkable selective anti-cancer activity.

    Abstract Maintaining integrity of the skin and its appendages still preserves its top-ranking in priorities of survival for the modern human as it probably once did for the ancient individual, -not only- because it is the primary barrier to external assaults, but also because of social and psychological impact of healthy skin during their life-span. Healing wounds in order to shield off the internal organs from infections and damage, restoring its ability to adapt to various environmental stimuli, and slowing-down and reversing aging of the skin in the quest for an everlasting youth can be named as a few of the main drivers behind the multi-million investments dedicated to the advancement of our understanding of skin's physiology. Over the years, these tremendous efforts culminated in the breakthrough discovery of skin stem cells the regenerative capacity of which accounted for the resilience of the skin through their unique capacity as a special cell type that can both self-renew and differentiate into various lineages. In this review, first we summarize the current knowledge on this amazing organ both at a structural and functional level. Next, we provide a comprehensive -in depth- discussion on epidermal as well as dermal stem cells in terms of the key regulatory pathways as well as the main genetic factors that have been implicated in the orchestration of the skin stem cell biology in regards to the shifts between quiescence and entry into distinct differentiation programs.

    Abstract Due to the prevalence of individuals suffering from chronic wounds, developing safe and effective wound care agents are one of the more prominent fields of research in biology. However, wound healing is a complex, multi-stage biological process, involving multiple sequences of biological responses from different types of cells, secreted mediators, and extracellular matrix elements. Plants have a long history of use in the treatment of wounds. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles, which are secreted nano vesicle messengers responsible for intercellular communications, show promise as a new, biotechnological wound-care agent. In this study, we assessed the wound healing potential of extracellular vesicles isolated from grapefruits - a plant with well-known anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. Grapefruit extracellular vesicles (GEVs) increased cell viability and cell migration while reducing intracellular ROS production in a dose-dependent manner in HaCaT cells. Expression of proliferation and migration-related genes were raised by GEV treatment in a dose dependent manner. Additionally, GEV treatment increased the tube formation capabilities of treated HUVEC cells. These findings suggest that GEVs can be used as plant-derived wound healing agents, and have shown potential as a biotechnological agent for wound healing. Further development and study of plant-derived extracellular vesicles may lead to the realization of their full potential.

    Abstract Stem cell technology has been a great hope for the treatment of many common tissue regeneration-related diseases. Therefore, the main challenge in hard tissue engineering is to make a successful combination of stem cells and efficient inductors such as biomaterials or growth factors, in the concept of stem cell conversion into odontogenic cell. Even though lactoferrin has been reported to promote bone growth in vivo, the molecular mechanism of teeth formation has not been elucidated yet. Different concentrations of lactoferrin were prepared for the analysis of cell toxicity and differentiation evaluations. The odontogenic differentiation of human tooth germ stem cells (hTGSCs) was assessed by gene expression analysis, determination of protein levels in odontogenic differentiation-related protein, measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization, and calcium deposit levels. Lactoferrin-treated group showed the highest ALP activity as opposed to the other groups which were untreated. In addition, the gene expression levels as well as the protein levels of odontogenic factors were found to be high in compared to the control groups. In the current study, it is shown for the first time that there is a significant increase in odontogenic differentiation capacity in hTGSCs when lactoferrin is applied in vitro. The study offers a considerable promise for the development of pulp regeneration by using stem cell technology combined with lactoferrin in functional tooth tissue engineering.
