Abstract

Sel punca mesenkimal (MSCs) memiliki kemampuan proliferasi dan kemampuan berdiferensiasi yang tinggi, dan efek parakrin yang mengandung banyak faktor pertumbuhan dan sitokin pro-inflamasi. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) merupakan salah satu faktor pertumbuhan yang disekresikan oleh MSCs. TNF-α memiliki peran penting dalam pengaturan sistem imun. Terapi seluler penyakit degeneratif dan infeksi menggunakan MSCs memanfaatkan kemampuan proliferasi, diferensiasi dan efek parakrinnya. Kematian sel sebelum mencapai organ target merupakan keterbatasan dalam terapi seluler. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan enkapsulasi MSCs dikembangkan untuk mengatasi keterbatasan kurangnya retensi MSCs pada terapi seluler dalam mempertahankan kelangsungan hidup dan efek parakrin MSC. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek parakrin MSCs berupa kadar TNF-α pada enkapsulasi MSCs. MSCs dienkapsulasi dengan menggunakan alginat yang dicross-linked dengan CaCl2. Enkapsulasi MSCs dikultur selama 21 hari dan dilakukan analisis kadar TNF-α. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa TNF-α pada MSCs mengalami penurunan hingga hari ke-21. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa enkapsulasi MSCs mempengaruhi kadar TNF-α dan mempertahankan MSCs dari lingkungan luar.

Abstract

The latest approach in tissue engineering techniques is the use of deselularized native organ as scaffolds for organ reconstruction. Scaffolds made from natural or synthetic matrix have many shortcomings in providing ideal extracellular matrix microstructure for cell proliferation and differentiation. Deselularized native scaffold can maintain the extracellular matrix of native organs, as an ideal microstructure scaffold for cell proliferation and differentiation. This technique answers the challenge of high need for liver transplants due to the limitations of liver donors and the need as liver models for drug testing.for drug testing. Liver is a complex organ, so ideal microstructure is needed in liver organoid reconstruction techniques to produce good synthetic and metabolic functions of the liver

Abstract

Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) merupakan kondisi di mana pasien tuberkulosis resistan terhadap minimal dua jenis obat anti tuberkulosis. Pasien MDR-TB sering mengalami efek samping sehingga terapi alternatif perlu dipikirkan. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) dan sel punca hematopoietik CD34+ dianggap sebagai alternatif potensial. MSC memiliki sifat imunomodulator, sedangkan CD34+ meningkatkan angiogenesis. Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) merupakan sitokin proinflamasi yang berperan dalam regulasi imunitas tubuh. Penggunaan coating dengan lisat konsentrat trombosit dan mikroenkapsulasi dapat meningkatkan efektivitas terapi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui rerata kadar IFN-γ pada medium kultur mikroenkapsulasi MSC dan CD34+ dengan coating lisat trombosit. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif observasional. Sampel MSC dan CD34+ yang digunakan masing-masing berasal dari tali pusat dan darah asal tali pusat bayi baru lahir. Kadar IFN-γ diukur menggunakan spektrofotometer dengan panjang gelombang 450nm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kadar IFN-γ yang disekresikan pada hari ke-2 berjumlah 0,0597 pg/mL, mengalami penurunan pada hari ke-7 dan hari ke-14, kemudian meningkat pada hari ke-21 sebanyak 2,7337 pg/mL.

Abstract

Background : Liver organoids can be used as materials for Bioartificial Liver, to study the mechanism of liver disease and as drug test toxicity. Reconstruction of liver organoids requires optimal culture methods, culture medium and cellular components to construct liver organoids that resemble liver microstructure in vivo with optimal function. 3D culture method using hepatocytes and stem cells with PRP supplemented William's E can reconstruct liver organoids with liver function. Medium exchange is an usual method to maintain the required nutrients and to eliminate waste products, but it requires a sufficient supply of medium and supplementation. Method and the use of effective and efficient medium with optimal hepatocyte viability are urgently needed in the reconstruction of liver organoids. Objective : This study was aimed to compare the viability of primary hepatocytes in culture medium exchange liver organoids and monoculture and without culture medium exchange. Methods : Primary hepatocytes isolated from Sprague Dawley-Rats mice (250gr, n=3) were co-cultured with umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, cord blood CD34+ stem cells and LX2 in PRP-supplemented William's E for 14 days. The culture medium was exchanged at 48 hours, day 7 and day 14 and no culture medium exchanged in the control group. Hepatocyte viability was analyzed using the Trypan Blue Exclusion Test at 48 hours, day 7 and day 14. Results : Hepatocyte viability in culture medium exchange liver organoids was higher than without culture medium exchange, especially in monoculture, but there was no significant difference (p value> 0.05). Conclusion: Hepatocyte viability in culture medium exchange liver organoids was not significantly different from no culture medium exchange liver organoids. Culture medium exchange in monoculture supported hepatocyte viability up to day 14. Keywords: hepatocytes, liver organoids, viability, culture medium ABSTRAK Latar belakang : Organoid hati dapat digunakan sebagai bahan Bioartificial Liver, mempelajari mekanisme penyakit hati dan uji toksisitas obat.

ABSTRACT Background : Cases of Tuberculosis (TB) and multi-drug resistant Tuberculosis (MDR TB) caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis are high globally. Vitamin D has an important role against TB infection by inducing antimicrobial peptides such as cathelicidin through vitamin D receptors (VDR). Several studies suggest that there is a genetic influence for TB infection, such as polymorphism and methylation. Methylation of VDR gene is one of the causes of susceptibility to TB infection. Objective : This study aimed to describe the unmethylated vitamin D receptor gene in patients with MDR TB and pulmonary non-MDR TB in Medan City. Methods : This research was a descriptive studied with a cross sectional research design. Stored DNA sample isolated from blood 40 patient MDR TB blood and 40 patient non MDR TB was converted to bisulfite with EZ DNA Methylation-Gold Kit. Converted DNA was amplified by PCR and finally gel electrophoresis was performed with agarose gel to see the unmethylated. Results : Unmethylated VDR gene was higher in MDR TB (17,5%) than in non MDR TB (null). Unmethylated VDR gene was found higher in men (15%) and in age 18-49 (10%). Conclusion : There was no unmethylated VDR gene in non MDR TB. The unmethylated VDR gene was found in MDR TB. Keywords : MDR TB, VDR gene, unmethylated ABSTRAK Latar belakang : Tuberkulosis (TB) dan multi drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) yang disebabkan oleh mycobacterium tuberculosis sangat tinggi kasusnya secara global.

Abstract

Background: MSC, IL-10, TNF-a, IFN-g, PGE2. Background: The high proliferation and differentiation capabilities, paracrine effects and immunomodulatory functions of Mesencymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have been utilized in cellular therapy approaches for infectious and degenerative diseases in the last decade. Paracrine effects MSCs contain growth factors and cytokines, including IL-10, TNF-a, IFN-g and PGE2. There are still debates regarding the role and performance of the levels of paracrine effects of MSCs IL-10, TNF-a, IFN-g and PGE2, so it is necessary to have a model of the performance of these paracrine effects. Objective: To determine the levels of IL-10, TNF-a, IFN-g and PGE2 in basal in-vitro culture conditions, which can be used as a model for MSC immunomodulatory performance. Methods: This research is an in-vitro culture study of MSCs in basal conditions. MSCs were cultured for 21 days and levels of IL-10, TNF-a, IFN-g and PGE2 were examined on the 7th, 14th and 21st days in the culture medium, using the ELISA method. Results: IL-20 was not found in the culture medium until the 21st day, meanwhile TNF-a levels continued to increase until the 21st day. IFN-g was only found on day 7 of culture. PGE2 levels were found to be the highest secreted among the cytokines analyzed, but were not found on day 21. Conclusion: Paracrine effects secreted by MSCs in basal culture conditions due as a response to cell damage that occurs during the duration of culture. The paracrine effects of MSCs can influence each other, so that there can be suppression or induction of secretion of paracrine effects. Keywords: MSC, IL-10, TNF-a, IFN-g, PGE2. Abstrak Latar belakang: Kemampuan proliferasi dan diferensiasi yang tinggi, efek parakrin serta fungsi imunomudulator Mesencymal Stem Cells (MSCs) dimanfaatkan dalam pendekatan terapi seluler penyakit infeksi dan degeneratif dalam dekade terakhir. Efek parakrin MSCs mengandung growth factor dan sitokin, diantaranya IL-10, TNF-a, IFN-g dan PGE2. Banyak perbedaan pendapat tentang peran dan gambaran kadar efek parakrin MSCs IL-10, TNF-a, IFN-g dan PGE2 sehingga diperlukan adanya model gambaran efek parakrin tersebut. Tujuan: Mengetahui kadar IL-10, TNF-a, PGE2 dan IFN-g pada kondisi basal kultur in-vitro, yang dapat digunakan sebagai model gambaran imunomodulator MSC. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kultur in-vitro MSCs pada kondisi basal. MSCs dikultur selama 21 hari dan dilakukan pemeriksaan kadar IL-10, TNF-a, PGE2 dan IFN-g pada hari ke-7, ke-14 dan ke-21 pada medium kultur, dengan menggunakan metode ELISA. Hasil: IL-20 tidak ditemukan pada medium kultur hingga hari ke-21, sedangkan kadar TNF-a semakin meningkat hingga hari ke-21. IFN-g hanya ditemukan pada kultur hari ke-7. Kadar PGE2 ditemukan paling tinggi disekresikan diantara sitokin yang dianalisa, tetapi tidak ditemukan pada hari ke-21. Kesimpulan: Efek parakrin disekresikan MSC pada kultur kondis basal sebagai respon kerusakan sel yang terjadi selama durasi kultur. Efek parakrin MSC dapat saling mempengaruhi, sehingga dapat terjadi supresi atau induksi sekresi efek parakrin. Kata Kunci: MSC, IL-10, TNF-a, IFN-g, PGE2.

Abstract

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) poses a significant global health challenge due to poor treatment outcomes. Encapsulated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a potential alternative therapy; however, their role in modulating bacterial drug sensitivity remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of the ABCG2 efflux pump gene in encapsulated MSCs co-cultured with MDR-TB, and to explore its implications for bacterial sensitivity to anti-tuberculosis drugs. An in vitro experimental design was employed using encapsulated MSCs cultured with MDR-TB. Total RNA was isolated, converted into complementary DNA (cDNA), and analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Gene expression levels were quantified using the Livak (ΔΔCt) method. Results demonstrated a progressive increase in ABCG2 gene expression on days 2, 7, and 14. Although this increase may reduce the direct antibacterial capacity of MSCs, previous studies have shown that their preserved paracrine function remains beneficial for immunomodulation. These findings support the continued investigation of encapsulated MSCs as an adjunctive therapy for MDR-TB, particularly through immunoregulatory mechanisms despite increased ABCG2 expression.

Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used as a cellular therapy for infectious and degenerative diseases due to their paracrine effect, immunomodulatory capability, high ability differentiation, and high plasticity. The paracrine effect of MSCs releases many growth factors and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10), enabling them to modulate the immune system. Nevertheless, there are many obstacles to maintaining paracrine effects in cellular therapy due to a shortage of cellular retention. MSC encapsulation provides a favourable environment for the enhanced viability of MSCs. Platelet lysate is comprised of many growth factors that support the paracrine effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, MSCs were encapsulated within alginate, crosslinked using calcium chloride (CaCl2), and subsequently coated with platelet lysate. Encapsulated MSCs coated by platelet lysate were cultured for 21 days and analyzed for IL-10 and TNF-α levels. The findings of our study performed that TNF-α in encapsulated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) coated with platelet lysate increased until day 21. IL-10 was retained within the capsule and detected very in day 14. This study showed that encapsulated MSCs coated with platelet lysate affected paracrine effect TNF-α of MSC and retained IL-10 inside the capsule
