Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of liver cancer. Curcuminoids are natural polyphenol compounds abundant in Curcuma heyneana ethanolic extract (CHE) and are known to inhibit breast and cervical cancer cell proliferation. Based on previous research, curcuminoid compounds have been studied to inhibit the growth of the liver cancer cell model, HepG2. This study aims to examine the potential of CHE as a chemopreventive agent in liver cancer using JHH-4 cell as a model. CHE was obtained by maceration method using ethanol which was then identified for its phytochemical profile using thin layer chromatography (TLC). Then TLC results were quantified to calculate the levels of compounds present in the CHE based on spot intensity with ImageJ software. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) antioxidant assay was conducted to determine the radical scavenging activity of CHE. Cytotoxic activity of CHE on JHH-4 liver cancer cells was tested by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Extraction produces a yield of 10.2 %w/w. CHE contains 4.52 %w/w curcuminoid compound consisting of 0.49 %w/w curcumin, 3.21 %w/w demethoxycurcumin, and 0.82% w/w bisdemethoxycurcumin. CHE exhibited antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 378.96 μg/mL, meanwhile ascorbic acid as a positive control has an IC50 value of 8.49 μg/mL. Cytotoxic activity of CHE on JHH-4 cells is characterized by an IC50 value of 16.62 μg/mL which is classified as having strong cytotoxic activity. This study concluded that CHE has the potential to be developed as a chemopreventive agent in liver cancer.Keywords: liver cancer, hepatocelullar carcinoma, Chemopreventive, antioxidant,Curcuma heyneana.

Abstract

Senescence defined as an irreversible cell cycle arrest. Senescence can inhibit cancer growth and suppress the progression of cancer. Some anticancer compounds are known to have the potential to induce senescence. Senescence defence against tumor development by preventing proliferation of cells with DNA damage. The study aimed to determine the cytotoxic effects and senescence induction of Pentagamavunon-0 (PGV-0) on Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-positive (HER2-positive) breast cancer cells, HCC 1954. Cytotoxic tests carried out with 3- (4.5-dimethylthiazzol-2yl) -2.5-tidiphenyltetrazolium (MTT) assay showed that PGV-0 exhibited a strong cytotoxic effect with a the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 39 μM. Treatment with IC50 in sub-doses combined with doxorubicin showed cytotoxic enhancement effects. The senescence assay using SA-β-Galactosidase showed that the PGV-0 in a single treatment was able to induce senescence with a percentage of cell senescent of 15%. The combination treatment of PGV-0 at the half dose of IC50 with doxorubicin 100 nM was able to induce senescence with the percentage of senescent cells of 25%. Moreover, PGV-0 also increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). The results of this study indicate that PGV-0 exhibits cytotoxic effect, increases cytotoxic effect of doxorubicin and induces senescence that may correlate to the increasing of intracellular ROS in 1954 HCC cells.Keywords: Pentagamavunon (PGV-0), HCC 1954, Cytotoxic, Senescence
