Abstract

c-Jun is often found to be overexpressed in various cancers, so this gene might be a target for cancer therapy. Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is recognized for its oncolytic properties and potential as a cancer virotherapy agent, with various mechanisms reported to trigger cancer cell death. This study aimed to assess the c-Jun expression in rat mammary cancer models. Rat mammary cancer models were categorized into two treatment groups: the control group (C) and the virotherapy group (V). Group C was administered with 0.5 cc of sterile PBS, while group V received 7 log 2 HAU per 0.5 cc of the Indonesian NDV field isolate Tabanan-1/ARP/2017 intratumorally. The treatment was carried out for four days in a row. Two weeks after treatment, all rats were humanely euthanized, and mammary cancer tissues were excised for further examination. Mammary cancer tissues were examined histopathologically and analyzed using immunohistochemistry to determine intranuclear c-Jun expression, quantified by the H-Score. The results demonstrated that NDV significantly reduced c-Jun expression. It can be inferred that NDV Tabanan-1/ARP/2017 holds potential as a mammary cancer therapy agent by reducing c-Jun expression. This finding is considered novel, as there have been no previous reports of decreased c-Jun expression following virotherapy with NDV.

Abstract

Infectious diseases pose a significant threat to livestock health and productivity, particularly in developing countries. Fasciolosis, caused by infestation of Fasciola sp., is one such disease of concern. This case report focuses on the anatomic pathologic changes observed in the liver of Bali cattle infested with Fasciola gigantica. The cattle involved in this study were Bali cattle slaughtered at the Mambal Slaughterhouse in Badung, Bali, Indonesia between December 2021. During the specified period, 2 out of the 16 slaughtered cattles tested positive for Fasciola gigantica, representing an infection rate of 12.5%. The primary objective of composing this article is to disseminate information pertaining to the anatomical and pathological alterations observed in Bali cattle as a consequence of fasciolosis. Regarding the observation, the liver exhibited hepatomegaly, characterized by enlarged size and blunt edges, and adult flukes were found in the bile ducts. The surface of the liver parenchyma displayed proliferation of connective tissue, and there was evidence of enlarged portal lymph nodes. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Bali cattle in this case report were afflicted with fasciolosis.
