Ayaz F, Demir D, Bölgen N. Electrospun nanofiber mats caged the mammalian macrophages on their surfaces and prevented their inflammatory responses independent of the fiber diameter.

Abstract
Poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) has been widely used as biocompatible materials in tissue engineering. They have been used in mammalian cell proliferation to polarization and differentiation. Their modified versions had regulatory activities on mammalian macrophages in vitro. There are also studies suggesting different nanofiber diameters might alter the biological activities of these materials. Based on these cues, we examined the inflammatory activities and adherence properties of mammalian macrophages on electrospun PCL nanofibrous scaffolds formed with PCL having different nanofiber diameters. Our results suggest that macrophages could easily attach and get dispersed on the scaffolds. Macrophages lost their inflammatory cytokine TNF and IL6 production capacity in the presence of LPS when they were incubated on nanofibers. These effects were independent of the mean fiber diameters. Overall, the scaffolds have potential to be used as biocompatible materials to suppress excessive inflammatory reactions during tissue and organ transplantation by caging and suppressing the inflammatory cells.

Abstract
Generation of novel and versatile immunomodulatory agents that could suppress excessive inflammation has been crucial to fight against chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Immunomodulatory agents regulate the function of immune system cells to manage their activities. Current therapy regimens for the inflammatory and autoimmune disorders rely on immunomodulatory drug molecules but they are also associated with unwanted and severe side effects. In order to prevent the side effects associated with drug molecules, the field should generate novel immunomodulatory drug candidates and further test them. Moreover, the generation of photodynamic immunomodulatory molecules would also decrease possible side effects. Photodynamic activation enables specific and localized activation of the active ingredients upon exposure to a certain wavelength of light. In our study, we generated copper-based chalcogenide structures in gel and nanoparticle form by using a water-based method so that they are more biocompatible.After their chemical characterization, they were tested on mammalian macrophages in vitro. Our results suggest that these molecules were anti-inflammatory in dark conditions and their anti-inflammatory potentials significantly increased upon xenon light treatment. We are presenting novel photodynamic immunomodulatory agents that can be used to suppress excessive inflammation in disease conditions that have been associated with excessive inflammation.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a remarkable alternative or complementary technique to chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy to treat certain forms of cancer. The synergistic effect of light, photosensitizer (PS) and oxygen allows for the treatment of tumours with an extremely high spatio-tumoral control, therefore minimizing the severe side effects usually observed in chemotherapy. The currently employed PDT PSs based on porphyrins have, in some cases, some limitations, which include a low absorbance in the therapeutic window, a low body clearance, photobleaching, among others. In this context, Ru(ii) polypyridyl complexes are interesting alternatives. They have low lying excited energy states and the presence of a heavy metal increases the possibility of spin-orbit coupling. Moreover, their photophysical properties are relatively easy to tune and they have very low photobleaching rates. All of these make them attractive candidates for further development as therapeutically suitable PDT PSs. In this review, after having presented this field of research, we discuss the developments made by our group in this field of research since 2017. We notably describe how we tuned the photophysical properties of our complexes from the visible region to the therapeutically suitable red region. This was accompanied by the preparation of PSs with enhanced phototoxicity and high phototoxicity index. We also discuss the use of two-photon excitation to eradicate tumours in nude mice. Furthermore, we describe our approach for the selective delivery of our complexes using targeting agents. Lastly, we report on our very recent synergistic approach to treat cancer using bimetallic Ru(ii)-Pt(iv) prodrug candidates.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease involving numerous joint tissues and cells, with a growing rate in prevalence that ultimately results in a negative social impact. Early diagnosis, OA progression monitoring and effective treatment are of significant importance in halting OA process. However, traditional imaging techniques lack sensitivity and specificity, which lead to a delay in timely clinical intervention. Additionally, current treatments only slow the progression of OA but have not meet the largely medical need for disease-modifying therapy. In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems and improve clinical efficacy, nanotheranostics has been proposed on OA remedy, which has confirmed success in animal models. In this review, different imaging targets-based nanoprobe for early and timely OA diagnosis is first discussed. Second, therapeutic strategies delivered by nanosystem are summarized as much as possible. Their advantages and the potential for clinical translation are detailed discussed. Third, nanomedicine simultaneously combined with the imaging for OA treatment is introduced. Nanotheranostics dynamically tracked the OA treatment outcomes to timely and individually adjust therapy. Finally, future prospects and challenges of nanotechnology-based OA diagnosis, imaging and treatment are concluded and predicted. It is believed that nanoprobe and nanomedicine will become prospective in OA therapeutic revolution.

Abstract
Cytokines like IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β are important mediators of inflammation in many inflammatory diseases, as well as in cellular processes like cell proliferation and cell adhesion. Finding new molecules that decrease cell proliferation, adhesion (inflammatory infiltrate), and pro-inflammatory cytokine release could help in the treatment of many inflammatory diseases. The naturally derived poly(gallic acid) (PGAL), produced enzymatically from gallic acid in aqueous medium, is a non-toxic, thermostable multiradical polyanion that is antioxidant and has potential biomedical uses. Experimental evidence has demonstrated that PGAL reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are the target of some inflammatory diseases. PGAL decreased IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β production in human monocytes exposed to PMA without affecting cell viability. Additionally, PGAL reduced cell proliferation by affecting the transition from the S phase to the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Cell adhesion experiments showed that PMA-induced cell adhesion was diminished with the presence of PGAL, particularly at a concentration of 200 μg/mL. These properties of PGAL show a potential use for treating inflammatory diseases, such as psoriasis or arthritis.

Abstract
A cell's function can be regulated through its mechanism, and there has been a growing body of literature on how immune cells' metabolism shapes its overall immune response. Manipulation of the cells metabolic activity through a biocompatible material would present new venues to the field of medicine. These agents are known as immunomodulatory and immunostimulatory reagents. They can either stimulate the immune response in a disease case where the immune response is lacking the strength or they can determine the nature and strength of the immune response as an immunomodulator according to our needs to cope with certain disorders. In our recent studies, we have been examining different kinds of materials on the macrophages in order to delineate their immunostimulatory or immunomodulatory potentials. Ruthenium-based materials have gathered our attention due to their ability to get involved into the electron mobility processes in the solar cells. In line with our expectations, probably by interfering the electron transport processes of the macrophages, ruthenium bipyridyl dithiocyanate complex had a stark immunomodulatory function on the LPS-activated mammalian macrophages in vitro. Our results support that it can be utilized as an adjuvant in the new generation vaccines.

Abstract
Schiff bases and their copper complexes have been previously studied for their anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor as well as anti-microbial activities. Schiff bases can be derivatized to gain photoluminiscence capacity. This property of the schiff bases enables the transfer of the electrons upon absorption of the light at a specific wavelength. In this study, we exploited this attribute of novel copper bearing schiff bases and tested their photodynamic biological activities. These compounds exerted photodynamic anti-inflammatory activities on the in vitro activated mammalian macrophages. Compared with salicylic acid control groups, these novel schiff bases had stronger activity which became more prominent with photo-induction. Moreover, they also had anti-microbial activity on gram negative bacteria E.coli and gram positive bacteria S.aureus.This anti-microbial activity was stronger than that of Neomycin on both bacterial strains. Our results suggest their potential use as anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial agents both in the dark as well as after photo-induction.
