Abstract

Background: The immune system is a crucial component of the defense against viral infections.  Some cytokines directly regulate the immune response by suppressing viral replication. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a crucial role in regulating the biological responses of several target cells to viral infections. Natural compounds, such as anthocyanins, possess antiviral properties that may be beneficial in treating various viral infections. The aims of this study are to analyze the effects of anthocyanins on IL-6 expression in PBMC cultures infected with the Hepatitis B virus. Methods: This study was an in-vitro experimental study. This study used a control group and a treatment group, with 18 PBMC cell culture wells. The treatment involved adding 50 µL of purple sweet potato water extract, with an anthocyanin content of 0.01575 µg/µL, to RPMI1640 culture medium in PBMC culture wells for 24 hours. The effect on the IL-6 cytokine response was assessed by quantifying IL-6 mRNA expression in RNA isolated from PMBC cell culture samples using the quantitative real-time PCR method and interpolating from a standard curve of serial dilutions, based on cycle threshold. Data analysis was performed using statistical analysis. Results: Statistical analysis of the effects of purple sweet potato extract exposure on the treatment and control groups was carried out using a paired t-test, showing that there was an effect of exposure to purple sweet potato extract on IL-6 mRNA expression in the treatment group with a p value of 0.001 (p<0.05), while no significant effect of exposure to purple sweet potato extract was found in the control group with a p value of 0.420 (p>0.05). The results of the independent t-test showed that in the treatment group, the mean difference in IL-6 mRNA expression was -75.87±45.77 fg/µL, whereas in the control group, it was -49.26±173.70 fg/µL. In the treatment and control groups, the mean difference in IL-6 mRNA expression was -26.61 fg/µL, with a p value of 0.66 (p>0.05). Conclusion: This study showed that anthocyanins in purple sweet potato water extract did not significantly increase IL-6 mRNA expression in HBV-infected PBMC cultures compared to controls.

Abstract

Introduction: Maintained skin moisture is an indication of healthy skin. Acute UV exposure can cause sunburn, which is characterized by a loss of moisture in the skin. Polyphenol compounds are one practical approach to protecting the skin from sunburn so that skin moisture is maintained. Blueberries are one of the natural ingredients consists of anthocyanin compounds, which are polyphenols from the flavonoid group. Aims: To determine the effect of blueberries on skin moisture exposed to acute ultraviolet rays. Methods: Literature study using references in the form of research articles and literature reviews from national and international journals and related books published in the last 10 years. In writing this literature review, 42 references were used which were accessed through Google Scholar, NCBI, Crossref, and Pubmed. Results: Blueberries anthocyanins can maintain skin moisture from increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL) due to acute UV ray exposure by reducing the formation of UV stimulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation in keratinocyte cells to maintain the elastic modulus and mechanical properties of keratinocytes as well as can prevent sunburn by reducing the skin's modulation of UV exposure. However, the absorption of anthocyanin compounds in the intestine is so low that taking blueberries orally alone is not enough to achieve good biodistribution. Conclusion: Blueberries affect retaining moisture in skin exposed to acute UV rays, so they have the potential to be used as skincare ingredients. However, further research needs to be done, especially to determine the side effects that can be caused and the required extract concentration.
