Abstract

Many cases of chemical drug treatment in breast cancer patients result in a negative impact on drug resistance. Therefore the use of natural compounds such as ?-glucan on ajwa dates and thymoquinone on black cumin was expected to stop the process of cancer cell proliferation and to consume in long-term safety. This study aimed to predict the effect of thymoquinone and ?-glucan in reducing breast cancer cascade with molecular docking. This research was carried out in silico. The ligand and protein preparations were done using Discovery Studio 2016. We used Hex 8.0.0 for docking. Visualization was established using Discovery Studio 2016 as well. The results showed that thymoquinone and ?-glucan can undergo conformational changes in ligand binding domain (LBD) of ER-? receptor. The interaction between ER-? receptor with ?-estradiol (inhibited by thymoquinone-?-glucan) was suggested to be the best solution in downregulating breast cancer signaling pathway. This interaction showed more stable conformation with the smallest binding energy (-332,84 kcal/mol). The thymoquinone-?-glucan complex could block the His476 and Met438.

Abstract

We aimed to analyze the effect of CSN1S2 protein in Etawah crossbred goat milk and yogurt on the histopathology of the jejunum and the amount of cell damage in Complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rats. The rats were divided into six groups: the untreated control rats (C), control rats were given CSN1S2 protein from Etawah crossbred goat milk (CM) or yogurt (CY), RA rats, RA rats given CSN1S2 protein from Etawah crossbred goat milk (RAM) or yogurt (RAY). Hematoxylin-eosin staining was conducted for the histopathological analysis of jejunum. Statistical analysis was done using one-way ANOVA (a significance value of p ≤ 0.05) followed by the Tukey test. Our study observed that the control, CM, and CY group have a normal histological structure of jejunum. The damage to the jejunum structure was reported in the RA group. The milk CSN1S2 protein was able to improve the structure of jejunum villi and increase the normal cell number in the jejunum of the RA group, similar to control. The RAY group showed an impaired jejunum structure and a high number of necrotic cells as in the RA group.
