Abstract

Maintaining immunoglobulin levels in the body is important to protect the body from exposure to pathogens. One effort can be made by consuming herbs containing immunomodulatory compounds, such as Cheral®, which includes a combination of herbs Phyllanthus niruri and Curcuma longa. This research aims to determine the expression of immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) following the administration of Cheral® to Wistar rats. The study was conducted in vivo, utilizing 24 healthy male Wistar rats for a 90-day treatment period. The research was divided into four treatment groups, including a control group and three dosage groups: Dose 1 (156.25 mg/kg BW), Dose 2 (312.5 mg/kg BW), and Dose 3 (468.75 mg/kg BW). IgM and IgG were isolated from the spleen and analyzed using flow cytometry. Flow cytometry data were analyzed using SPSS with a one-way ANOVA and post hoc test (p-value <0.05). The analysis showed that the relative number of IgM-producing cells in the control group was significantly higher than in the treatment groups, with a difference of 44.40%. In contrast, the relative number of IgG-producing cells in Dose 3 was significantly lower than all other treatment groups, showing a decrease of 29.21%. Overall, the expression of IgG and IgM did not differ substantially across all treatments. The lower IgG and IgM profiles compared to the control group indicate Cheral®'s ability to prevent infections and maintain the immune system of the rats throughout the treatment period.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a systemic disorder of pregnancy characterized by the maternal immune system's failure to properly adapt to fetal antigens, resulting in chronic inflammatory responses. This research aimed to examine the effects of DOCA (deoxycorticosterone acetate) and L-NAME (Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester) in inducing preeclampsia in pregnant BALB/c mice, focusing on lymphocyte activation. Twenty-four BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: NP (non-pregnant mice), P (healthy pregnant mice), D (pregnant mice received DOCA), and L (pregnant mice received L-NAME). DOCA was dissolved in corn oil and administered subcutaneously at 12.5 mg.kg-1 BW before pregnancy and 6.5 mg.kg-1 BW weekly during pregnancy. L-NAME was administered daily starting from day 5 of pregnancy. Mice were dissected on day 16 of pregnancy, and the spleen was isolated to analyze the relative number of CD4+CD62L+ and CD8+CD62L+ T cells. The results showed that DOCA and LNAME exhibited fewer CD4+CD62L+ and CD8+CD62L+ T cells than healthy pregnant mice. The administration of DOCA at 12.5 mg.kg-1 BW (before mating) and 6.5 mg.kg-1 (day 7 of pregnancy) was more effective in triggering the activation of CD4+CD62L+ and CD8+CD62L+ T cells than the others indicated by the lowest number of CD4+CD62L+ and CD8+CD62L+ T cells. However, the conclusion of which one is more effective in inducing preeclampsia has not been reached. This is due to the many parameters that must be observed related to preeclampsia. Further studies are needed, especially examining proinflammatory cytokine production in T cells after induction with both inducers. Keywords: DOCA, L-NAME, Lymphocyte, Mice, Preeclampsia.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy disorder characterized by high blood pressure, proteinuria, and chronic inflammation that potentially leads to multiorgan failure. This study investigated differences in the relative number of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IFN-γ & TNF-α) in preeclamptic mice induced by DOCA and L-NAME. Eighteen pregnant BALB/c mice (n=6): pregnant mice without any treatment (P), pregnant mice treated with Deoxycorticosterone acetate/DOCA (D), and pregnant mice treated with N-ω-L-arginine Methyl Ester/L-NAME (L) and healthy nonpregnant mice as control (NP). DOCA at 12.5 mg.kg-1 BW was injected subcutaneously before mating and 6.5 mg. kg-1 BW after mating every week for 16 days. L-NAME was administered orally at 75 mg.kg-1 BW daily after five days of gestation. Mice were dissected in the second trimester (day 16), and then the spleen was isolated to analyze the relative number of CD11b+IFN-γ+ and CD11b+TNF-α+ using flow cytometry analysis. The results showed that DOCA and L-NAME induction did not significantly induce the production of TNF-α levels in the macrophage of pregnant mice. However, both DOCA and L-NAME significantly induce the production of IFN-γ levels in the macrophage of pregnant mice. Further evaluation of other markers related to preeclampsia should be done to better understand the roles of DOCA and L-NAME in inducing preeclampsia. Keywords: DOCA, L-NAME, mice, preeclampsia, pregnant.

Abstract

The spike protein in SARS-CoV-2 works mainly to initiate infections, especially for binding to host cells and fusing with cell membranes. Characterizing SARS-CoV-2 spikes protein transfection cells could optimize the production of VLP in HEK-293T cells. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein expression in transfected HEK-293T cells. Characterization of spike protein in transfected-HEK 293T cells was used to determine VLP formation in SARS-CoV-2. The study was conducted by isolating DNA and protein from transfected HEK 293T cells and analyzing spike expression using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Flow Cytometry. The success of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein transfection in PCR analysis has yet to be confirmed because DNA band smears do not specifically indicate the spike protein's size. However, the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was successfully confirmed using flow cytometry with the percentage of spike-EGFP by 30%. Therefore, the present study confirmed the presence of spike protein in transfected HEK 293T cells by flow cytometry analysis.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop an epitope-based vaccine of SARS-CoV-2 S protein through an immuno-informatics study. The whole genome of SARS-CoV-2 sequences was obtained from the GISAID database and then trimmed to obtain the S protein sequences. The alignment was done by Clustal-W of MEGA software. Epitope prediction and modeling were performed by Discotope BepiPred and the PepFold3 web server. The allergic responses and physicochemical characteristics of predicted epitopes were analyzed using the AlgPred and ProtParam from ExPASy. Molecular docking and dynamic stimulation were performed using AutoDock Vina and YASARA. Biovia Discovery Studio 2019 was used to visualize the molecular docking results. The study predicted 3 potential epitopes, including ‘GDEVRQIAPGQTGKIADYNYKLP’ (epitope 1), ‘YTMSLGAENSVAYSNN’ (epitope 2), and ‘VNNSYECDIPI’ (epitope 3) located in the spike head specifically RBD region. The epitopes did not show an allergen reaction based on IgE epitope mapping. The suitable overexpression for the host of epitopes was mammalian cells. Only epitopes 1 and 2 were stable (instability index above 40). Epitopes 1, 2, and 3 interacted with BCR with binding affinity values -6.6, -7.8, and -7.5 kcal/mol. Epitope 2 wasere stable when interacting with the BCR. Therefore, three epitopes were predicted to have high potency as the SARS-CoV-2 epitope-based vaccine.

Abstract

Inflammation is an early symptom of a disease that reduces the level of health. Single-bulb garlic (Allium sativum L.) is used medicinally as a plant with a broad pharmacological effect, especially anti-inflammatory activity. Self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) have offered opportunities to improve drug delivery. The current study aimed to characterize SNEDDS-single bulb garlic extract (SBGE) and determine its potential as an anti-inflammatory agent in 3T3-L1 cells. SNEDDS was formulated from tween-80, glycerol, canola oil, and SBGE. The formula characterization is done using droplet size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, physical stability test, and antioxidant assay. The cytotoxicity test of SNEDDS-SBGE was evaluated using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The anti-inflammatory activity was examined using 3T3-L1 cell methylglyoxal (MG) induction, and the expression of cytokines was measured using immunocytochemistry (ICC). The SNEDDS-SBGE had a nanoemulsion size of 42.30±1.39 nm, 0.6±0.03 for the polydispersion index, and -22.63±0.75 mV for the zeta potential. SNEDDS-SBGE was physically stable and had a high antioxidant level (47.579±8.017 %). SNEDDS-SBGE exhibited no toxic effect on 3T3-L1 cells. The administration of 62.5 µg/ml and 125 µg/ml SNEDDS-SBGE could inhibit (p<0.05) the expression of IL-1β after methylglyoxal induction. Thus, SNEDDS-SBGE may have potential anti-inflammatory properties.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a type of cancer that highly occurs globally and causes death cases. Of the many ways of treating breast cancer, chemotherapy is the most recommended, even though it causes various disturbing side effects. Therefore, alternative medicine using bioactive compounds of medicinal plants has begun to be widely used, for example, Phaleria macrocarpa, a plant native to Indonesia with anticancer and antioxidant activity. The liver and kidneys are important organs that function to maintain body homeostasis. The use of crude extracts of medicinal plants often causes damage to those organs at inappropriate doses. This research aimed to get an effective dose for reducing breast cancer growth and is safe for the liver and kidneys. A total of 36 mice were divided into six groups, including healthy control, cancer control, cisplatin, and three doses of P. macrocarpa extract (58.9, 117.8, and 235.6 mg.kg-1). The experimental animals were injected using a 4T1 cell line and treated orally using P. macrocarpa leaf ethanol extract for two and three weeks. The tumor volume of mice was measured periodically. At the end of treatment, mice were sacrificed, and their liver and kidney organs were isolated. Both organs were then prepared for H&E staining and observed using a microscope. The results showed that a dose of 58.9 mg.kg-1 and 117.8 mg.kg-1 of P. macrocarpa extract could reduce tumor volume by more than 90%, and the 117.8 mg.kg-1 dose is the safest dose to use because it does not affect the kidney and cause chronic damage to liver tissue. Keywords: extract, kidney, liver, tissue damage, tumor.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of combination Phyllanthus urinaria and Catharanthus roseus in breast cancer mice based on the expression of IL-17. 7,12-Dimethylbenz(α)anthracene (DMBA) was injected intraperitoneally into normal mice at dose 1.5 mg.kg-1 weight to obtain breast cancer mice. Total of 24 experimental mice divided into normal mice (N), breast cancer mice (K), breast cancer mice with cisplatin (C) treatment (5 mg.kg-1 weight), breast cancer mice with combination extract Dose 1 (P. urinaria 500 mg.kg-1 weigt + C. roseus 15mg.kg-1 weight), breast cancer mice with combination extract Dose 2 (P. urinaria 1000 mg.kg-1 weight + C. roseus 75mg.kg-1 weight), and breast cancer with combination extract Dose 3 (P. urinaria 2000 mg.kg-1 weight + C. roseus 375 mg.kg-1 weight). Cheral was given orally for 14 days. The level of IL-17 was evaluated by flow cytometry analysis. The combination can suppress the expression of IL-17 which down regulation of IL-17 indicate a good prognosis for the breast cancer mice, for 6.17% in breast cancer condition to 0.93% with Dose 3 treatment. The combination can be used as immunomodulatory agent in humoral immunity through the regulation of IL-17. Keywords: Breast cancer, Catharanthus roseus, IL-17, Phyllanthus urinaria

Abstract

The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Elephantopus scaber and Sauropus androgynus as anti-inflammatory agents in pregnant mice infected with Escherichia coli. This study used seven treatments group (n=3): K- (healthy pregnant mice), K+ (pregnant mice infected with E. coli), P1 (pregnant mice infected with E. coli + E. scaber 100%), P2 (pregnant mice infected with E. coli + E. scaber 75% and S. androgynus 25%), P3 (pregnant mice infected with E. coli + E. scaber 50% and S. androgynus 50%), P4 (pregnant mice infected with E. coli + E. scaber 25% and S. androgynus 75%), P5 (pregnant mice infected with E. coli + S. androgynus 100%). Flow cytometry analysis was used to analyze cell populations expressing CD4+TNFα+, CD4+IFNγ+ and regulatory T cells (CD4+CD25+CD62L+). All treatment groups significantly (p<0.05) decreased TNFα and IFNγ levels, while the P2 group was more effective in increasing regulatory T cells at the 1st and 2nd trimesters of the pregnancy. This study showed that E. scaber and S. androgynus combination alleviated inflammation by reducing inflammatory cytokines (TNFα and IFNγ) and increasing T-regulatory cells. Therefore, E. scaber and S. androgynus combination could suppress the inflammation during pregnancy and infection. Keywords: Elephantopus scaber, immune system, infection, inflammation, Sauropus androgynous.

Abstract

Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic disease characterized by progressive connective tissue deposition that replaces healthy lung tissue. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Elephantopus scaber L. Ethanol Extract (ESEE) treatment on the relative number of IL-2 cytokine and lymphocyte activation in bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis mice model. Fifty-six male BALB/c mice were divided into seven treatment groups: N (normal); V or vehicle (corn oil); PF or Pulmonary Fibrosis (BLM 2 mg.kg-1); Dex (Dexamethasone 3 mg.kg-1 + BLM); D1-D3 (ESEE at doses of 0.0504, 0.1008, and 0.2016 mg.kg-1 BW + BLM). ESEE, dexamethasone, and corn oil were administered orally, followed by intraperitoneal bleomycin injection daily for 14 days. Mice were dissected on days 7 and 14, and spleens were isolated to analyze cell populations expressing CD4+IL-2+, CD8+IL-2+, CD4+CD62L+, and CD8+CD62L+. The results showed that bleomycin injection could increase the relative number of IL-2 and decrease the relative number of naive T cells compared to normal mice. ESEE treatment significantly reduced the relative number of IL-2, thus decreasing naive T cell activation after one week of bleomycin injection compared to the mice model. In contrast, the increased IL-2 production led to the increasing naive T cell activation after two weeks of bleomycin injection. Therefore, ESEE treatment has the potential to maintain homeostasis through modulation of IL-2 production and T-lymphocyte activation in the pulmonary fibrosis mice model. Keywords: Elephantopus scaber, IL-2, lymphocytes, mice, pulmonary fibrosis.
