Abstract

Cancer death cases have increased yearly, and there are estimated to be 21.6 million cancer cases in 2030. Studies of herbal compounds for cancer treatment alternatives are essential because cancer treatment is relatively expensive and has adverse effects. Phyllanthus niruri (Pn) and Catharanthus roseus (Cr) are plants that are known as herbal medicines. Combining the two plants is expected to prevent and enhance the immune system in breast cancer cases. This study aims to analyze the anti-cancer and immunomodulatory effects of P. niruri and C. roseus extract (PCE) in modulating macrophage polarization in breast cancer mice. Experimental animals are divided into six groups and there is healthy control (normal mice), cancer (DMBA-induced mice), cancer mice with cisplatin administration, cancer mice with PCE administration with three different doses, including dose 1 (500 mg/kg Pn + 15 mg/kg Cr), dose 2 (1000 mg/kg Pn + 75 mg/kg Cr), and dose 3 (2000 mg/kg Pn + 375 mg/kg Cr). The mice were injected with DMBA once a week for six weeks to induce cancer in mice. The breast cancer mice model was administered with PCE orally for 14 days. The expression of CD11b+IL-10+ and CD11b+IFN-γ+ demonstrated macrophage polarization. The results showed that breast cancer induction using DMBA increased the level of IL-10 and decreased the level of IFN-γ significantly compared to the normal group (p < 0.05). In specific doses, administration of PCE could reduce IL-10 levels and increase the level of IFN-γ significantly (p < 0.05). PCE can modulate the polarization of macrophages by suppressing the M2-like macrophage and increasing the M1-like macrophage. The ability of PCE to modulate macrophage polarization indicates that the combination of P. niruri and C. roseus has activity as an anti-cancer.

Abstract

Acute lung injury tends to be induced by infection or sepsis that disrupt alveolar and vascular permeability, neutrophil influx, and edema. Those impairments are worsened by the increase of oxidative stress along with hyperinflammation response. Oxidative stress in lung tissue could be indicated by malondialdehyde (MDA) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression. This research aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Baby Java citrus peel extract (BJE) in suppressing oxidative stress and preventing lung injury in lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced mice. Twenty-five male BALB/c mice were divided into five groups consisting of untreated (N), LPS (A), and LPS-induced followed by treatment using BJE at various doses: 75 mg/kg BW (BJE-1), 105 mg/kg BW (BJE-2), and 150 mg/kg BW (BJE-3). Lungs were isolated for histopathological analysis also detection of MDA and Nrf2 using flow cytometry. BJE at the dose of 105 mg/kg BW could inhibit the alteration of lung histology following LPS challenge including alveolar and interstitial neutrophil infiltration, proteinaceous debris, and septal thickening. The same dose also showed good potency in suppressing MDA and Nrf2 levels as oxidative stress indicators. Our findings demonstrated protective effects of Baby Java citrus peel in acute lung injury and oxidative stress prevention after LPS exposure.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a systemic disorder of pregnancy characterized by the maternal immune system's failure to properly adapt to fetal antigens, resulting in chronic inflammatory responses. This research aimed to examine the effects of DOCA (deoxycorticosterone acetate) and L-NAME (Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester) in inducing preeclampsia in pregnant BALB/c mice, focusing on lymphocyte activation. Twenty-four BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: NP (non-pregnant mice), P (healthy pregnant mice), D (pregnant mice received DOCA), and L (pregnant mice received L-NAME). DOCA was dissolved in corn oil and administered subcutaneously at 12.5 mg.kg-1 BW before pregnancy and 6.5 mg.kg-1 BW weekly during pregnancy. L-NAME was administered daily starting from day 5 of pregnancy. Mice were dissected on day 16 of pregnancy, and the spleen was isolated to analyze the relative number of CD4+CD62L+ and CD8+CD62L+ T cells. The results showed that DOCA and LNAME exhibited fewer CD4+CD62L+ and CD8+CD62L+ T cells than healthy pregnant mice. The administration of DOCA at 12.5 mg.kg-1 BW (before mating) and 6.5 mg.kg-1 (day 7 of pregnancy) was more effective in triggering the activation of CD4+CD62L+ and CD8+CD62L+ T cells than the others indicated by the lowest number of CD4+CD62L+ and CD8+CD62L+ T cells. However, the conclusion of which one is more effective in inducing preeclampsia has not been reached. This is due to the many parameters that must be observed related to preeclampsia. Further studies are needed, especially examining proinflammatory cytokine production in T cells after induction with both inducers. Keywords: DOCA, L-NAME, Lymphocyte, Mice, Preeclampsia.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy disorder characterized by high blood pressure, proteinuria, and chronic inflammation that potentially leads to multiorgan failure. This study investigated differences in the relative number of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IFN-γ & TNF-α) in preeclamptic mice induced by DOCA and L-NAME. Eighteen pregnant BALB/c mice (n=6): pregnant mice without any treatment (P), pregnant mice treated with Deoxycorticosterone acetate/DOCA (D), and pregnant mice treated with N-ω-L-arginine Methyl Ester/L-NAME (L) and healthy nonpregnant mice as control (NP). DOCA at 12.5 mg.kg-1 BW was injected subcutaneously before mating and 6.5 mg. kg-1 BW after mating every week for 16 days. L-NAME was administered orally at 75 mg.kg-1 BW daily after five days of gestation. Mice were dissected in the second trimester (day 16), and then the spleen was isolated to analyze the relative number of CD11b+IFN-γ+ and CD11b+TNF-α+ using flow cytometry analysis. The results showed that DOCA and L-NAME induction did not significantly induce the production of TNF-α levels in the macrophage of pregnant mice. However, both DOCA and L-NAME significantly induce the production of IFN-γ levels in the macrophage of pregnant mice. Further evaluation of other markers related to preeclampsia should be done to better understand the roles of DOCA and L-NAME in inducing preeclampsia. Keywords: DOCA, L-NAME, mice, preeclampsia, pregnant.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is a global epidemic caused by excessive body fat, which is increasing free fatty acids in the liver, causing oxidative stress and liver cell damage. Green tea yogurt (GTY) with encapsulated Lacticaseibacillus paracasei E1 (GTY-LpE1) might have a beneficial effect in reducing liver cell damage. This study was conducted determine GTY-LpE1 effect on superoxide dismutase (SOD) expression, malondialdehyde (MDA) expression and liver histopathology in high-fat high-fructose diet (HFFD) mice. Material and Methods: A completely randomized design (CRD) with 7 groups, including normal diet (ND) group, HFFD group, 1.3 mg/kg BW simvastatin (SIM)-administered HFFD group, 5 g/kg BW probiotic yoghurt (PY)-administered HFFD (PY), 2.5 g/kg BW GTY-administered HFFD (2.5 GTY), 5 g/kg BW GTY-administered HFFD (5 GTY), and 10 g/kg BW GTY-administered HFFD (10 GTY). The diet was given for 16 weeks, followed by oral administration of sim/yoghurt during the last 4 weeks. Mice were sacrificed and the liver was collected. SOD and MDA expression were analyzed by flow cytometry. Histopathology analysis was done by evaluating hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of the liver.Result: The percentage of necrotic cells were 34.55, 34.31, and 21.95%, when treated with 2.5, 5, and 10 g/kg BW with GTY-administered HFFD, respectively, these were lower than the ones in the HFFD group (69.49%). The percentage of MDA expression were 15.55, 18.69, and 22.42%, respectively, these were lower than the ones in the HFFD group as well. The percentage of SOD expression were 9.49, 7.85, and 11.11%, respectively, these were higher than the ones in the HFFD group (3.44%). Conclusion: GTY-LpE1 could decrease the number of necrotic cells in the HFFD mice livers and improve the hepatocyte damage by reducing MDA expression and enhancing SOD expression. GTY-LpE1 can be used as an alternative food to control obesity.Keywords: alginate, chitosan, encapsulation, green tea, probiotic

Abstract

Background: Obesity-induced inflammation causes hematopoietic stress, disrupting bone marrow homeostasis. Green tea yogurt supplemented with Lacticaseibacillus paracasei E1 microcapsules (GTYP) is a promising way to overcome obesity due to its high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. However, GTYP effects on blood production, specifically erythrocytes and B cells, remain unexplored.Materials and methods: Male Balb/C mice were fed either a high-fat fructose diet or a normal diet for 12 weeks. Microencapsulation was done by double coating of alginate-chitosan. There were seven groups in this study: normal diet (ND), high-fat fructose diet (HFFD), HFFD with 1.3 mg/kgBW Simvastatin (T1), HFFD with 5 g/kgBW plain yogurt (T2), HFFD with 2.5 g/kgBW GTYP (T3), HFFD with 5 g/kgBW GTYP (T4), and HFFD with 10 g/kgBW GTYP (T5). Erythrocyte counts from the peripheral blood were taken weekly. After 28 days of treatment, mice were sacrificed, bone marrow (BM) and lymphocytes were isolated. The cells of Ter119+, Ter119+CD59+, and B220+SDF-1+ were measured using flow cytometry.Results: HFFD not only reduces the peripheral erythrocyte count (2.15×109 cell/mL) but also affects the hematopoietic system, depleting Ter119+ (11.76%), TER119+CD59+ (0.050%), and B220+SDF-1+ (0.465%). Mice receiving 5 g/KgBW GTYP improved erythrocyte count (9.95×109 cells/mL). The parameters of erythrocyte and B cell development showed more remarkable improvement with GTYP treatment than simvastatin and plain yogurt (p<0.05). Molecular docking also indicated a great inhibitory effect of EGCG (-7.7) for the CXCR4 receptor.Conclusion: GTYP can potentially increase erythrocyte count and B cell development, particularly under obese conditions.   Keywords: anti-obesity, B lymphopoiesis, erythrocyte count, green tea yogurt, probiotics

Abstract

Breast cancer subtypes include luminal A, luminal B, HER2, triple-negative, and normal-like. Antioxidants, ROS, and cancer have a close relationship. Cancer cells exhibit an elevated ROS level, which can be used for selective cell-based therapeutic targeting. Therefore, developing potential therapeutic potential therapeutic options is crucial. Herbal medicine has gained much interest in treating cancer. Indian jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana), cumin (Nigella sativa), turmeric (Curcuma longa), soursop (Annona muricata), and meniran (Phylanthus niruri) potentially have a role as anticancer agents and were used as alternative medicine. This study aimed to determine the phytochemicals total content, DPPH radical inhibition, and cytotoxicity of the polyherbal plants to the T47D cell line. The antioxidant analysis was conducted using DPPH assay, and the phytochemicals analysis was determined using total flavonoid (TFC), phenolic (TPC), and alkaloid (TAC) content. The cell viability assessment was performed using the WST-1 method. The antioxidant analysis revealed that the IC50 value of polyherbal medicine is 213.65 µg.ml-1. The phytochemical analysis showed that the highest content is the flavonoid compared to others, with a value of 138.986 mgQE.mg-1. Other than that, the cell viability assessment showed that the IC50 of the herbal medicine is 480.8 µg.mL-1. These findings indicated that combining turmeric, cumin, meniran, Indian jujube, and soursop has moderate cytotoxicity against the T47D cell line since it can reduce T47D cell line viability at high doses. Keywords: antioxidant, breast cancer, herbal medicine, phytochemicals, T47D cell line.

Abstract

Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic disease characterized by progressive connective tissue deposition that replaces healthy lung tissue. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Elephantopus scaber L. Ethanol Extract (ESEE) treatment on the relative number of IL-2 cytokine and lymphocyte activation in bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis mice model. Fifty-six male BALB/c mice were divided into seven treatment groups: N (normal); V or vehicle (corn oil); PF or Pulmonary Fibrosis (BLM 2 mg.kg-1); Dex (Dexamethasone 3 mg.kg-1 + BLM); D1-D3 (ESEE at doses of 0.0504, 0.1008, and 0.2016 mg.kg-1 BW + BLM). ESEE, dexamethasone, and corn oil were administered orally, followed by intraperitoneal bleomycin injection daily for 14 days. Mice were dissected on days 7 and 14, and spleens were isolated to analyze cell populations expressing CD4+IL-2+, CD8+IL-2+, CD4+CD62L+, and CD8+CD62L+. The results showed that bleomycin injection could increase the relative number of IL-2 and decrease the relative number of naive T cells compared to normal mice. ESEE treatment significantly reduced the relative number of IL-2, thus decreasing naive T cell activation after one week of bleomycin injection compared to the mice model. In contrast, the increased IL-2 production led to the increasing naive T cell activation after two weeks of bleomycin injection. Therefore, ESEE treatment has the potential to maintain homeostasis through modulation of IL-2 production and T-lymphocyte activation in the pulmonary fibrosis mice model. Keywords: Elephantopus scaber, IL-2, lymphocytes, mice, pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract

Antibiotics are key for successful molecular cloning techniques. Different antibiotics have different mechanisms of action, which leads to cell heath and a viable number of passages. Moreover, the suitability of the promoter also plays an important role in achieving a higher level of protein titter in the stable cell platform. Therefore, with plenty of options of antibiotics and promoters available, we need to determine the best combination of antibiotics and promoters, particularly for specific proteins of interest. Darbepoetin is a recombinant therapeutics protein with extra glycosylation to increase the half-life in the blood; this drug is used for the administration of CKD and leukemia patients. Blasticidin-S and puromycin were used as antibiotics, and CMV and EF-1 promoters were used in this experiment to evaluate the expression of recombinant darbepoetin for the protein model. CHO K-1 cell line was transfected with a plasmid carrying a combination of promoter and antibiotics genes; after 14 days, the level of specific protein expression was evaluated using the western blot technique. A single clone cell was obtained using the serial dilution method to evaluate the clonality and expression of the protein of interest. This study successfully obtained a single clone from stable pool transfection. This result suggested that a combination of puromycin antibiotics and EF-1 promoter has promising expression compared to Blasticidin-S antibiotics with CMV promoter. For further conclusion, an analytical comparison of both combinations needed to be done.
