Abstract

Background: Tooth development during the embryonic period is a complex process that needs enough nutrition for the formation of healthy dental tissue. Kallikrein-related peptidase-4 (KLK-4) is a serine proteinase secreted by ameloblast during transition and maturation stages in the amelogenesis process which functions to degrade protein matrices so enamel could reach the final hardness. Pregnancy milk contains various nutrients that can increase KLK-4 expression of ameloblast cells in the tooth development. This study aims to determine the impact of pregnancy milk against the KLK-4 expression of ameloblast cell in the tooth development process.Method: 12 pregnant female mice (Mus Musculus L.) divided into control group (given sterile aquadest) and treatment group (given pregnancy milk + sterile aquadest) for 18 days then the tooth germ was taken. Samples were stained to see the KLK-4 expression. Data were analyzed using an Independent sample t-test.Result: Our study showed that the average amounts of KLK-4 expression in the treatment group are higher than the control group. Based on the Independent sample t-test statistic methods, there is a significant difference with the value of p=0,017.Conclusion: The pregnancy milk could influence the Kallikrein-related peptidase-4 (KLK-4) expression of ameloblast cell in the mice fetus’s tooth development.

Abstract

Studies have demonstrated that Asiatic acid (AA) from Centella asiatica has anticancer properties in cancer cell lines, but translating these findings into clinical research remains challenging. This review aims to provide a robust scientific foundation for enhancing the translational potential of AA-based anticancer therapy. The PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases were searched electronically using specific keywords and screened in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines.  Fourteen studies meet the criteria. All research was conducted in vitro; four studies were conducted both in vitro and in vivo, and three were conducted in silico.Asiatic acid (AA) demonstrates potent anticancer activity by modulating key signaling pathways, including PI3K/Akt and NF-κB, thereby inhibiting proliferation, promoting apoptosis, and reducing metastasis. Its cytotoxic effects are time- and dose-dependent (1–50 µM) and minimal in normal cells. While AA and its derivatives consistently outperform controls, limitations such as missing control dose data warrant further investigation. Future studies should focus on in vivo validation, clinical translation, and advanced strategies such as targeted delivery and AI-assisted drug development to fully realize AA’s therapeutic potential.
