Abstract

Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most widespread chronic liver diseases, caused by the development of insulin resistance. One of the mechanisms involved is a disturbance in insulin signaling by certain toxic substances that interact with one of the proteins responsible for the insulin signaling pathway. Increased homocysteine level, upon disruption of the methionine pathway, is associated with insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hyperhomocysteinemia and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR level) induced by dietary vitamin B12 restriction on liver steatosis. Methods A study of laboratory experimental design was conducted involving 18 male Sprague Dawley rats (age 36-40 weeks, BW 300-350 g), that were randomly divided into 3 groups: control, 8-week treatment, and 16-week treatment. Standard AIN-93 diet was administered to the control group, whereas rats in the treatment groups were fed vitamin B12 deficiency-AIN-93M. At the end of treatment, liver homocysteine levels were determined by ELISA, HOMA-IR values were calculated, and steatosis degree of the liver was determined histologically. Statistical analysis was performed using independent t-test. Results A significant increase in liver homocysteine levels was found between the control and both the 8- and 16-week treatment groups (p<0.001). HOMA-IR levels were significantly higher in both treatment groups compared to controls (p<0.001). The area of liver steatosis in both treatment groups was significantly larger than that of the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion Increased homocysteine levels due to dietary vitamin B12 deficiency induces liver steatosis due to insulin resistance in rats.

Abstract

NO (Nitric Oxide) is an inorganic compound composed of nitrogen and oxygen, NO is also produced in various places on various types of mammalian cells. NO as a radical compound is important in mediating physiological and pathological events in mammals including humans [1].GEJ (gastroesophageal junction) is a transition zone between the surface of esophagus which is covered by stratified squamous epithelium to the gastric mucosa which consists of simple columnar epithelium (z-line), where circular muscle of esophagus fuse with oblique muscle and lipid layer of the gaster. At the lower part of GEJ, there is the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that not only allow food to move into stomach and works as an exit passage of the gas, but also inhibit reflux of any substances that potentially can cause harm to the esophagus [2].Petersson et al, found that chronic exposure to cytotoxic levels of NO can cause inflammation, intestinal metaplasia and neoplasia. Although it is known that gastric acid, pepsin and bile acids can cause adenocarcinoma of distal esophagus and GEJ, NO exposure and nitrosative stress role in this phenomenon is yet to be fully understood and further study is needed [3].The purpose of this was to identify and compare the histopathological changes occurring in GEJ in relation to administration of physiological concentration of nitrate dissolved in HCl and ascorbic acid. As such, the animal model used in this study can be used to study and represent the changes microscopically, because obtaining a full thickness biopsy from a human subject can be difficult to perform.

Abstract

Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that can adapt to different environmental stimuli. This study aims to analyze differences in the function and biogenesis of mitochondria and anaerobic glycolysis activity between obese adult rats that were undernourished in childhood (LCD28) and those which were normal (SD28) or already fat (HFD28). Sprague-dawley rats were assigned groups and given diet treatments from December 2017 until August 2018 in the Laboratory Animal Management Unit, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Bogor Agricultural Institute. To observe mitochondrial function and biogenesis, MnSOD activity and PGC1α levels were analyzed using ELISA. To investigate the existence of anaerobic glycolysis, LDH activity was analyzed using a spectrophotometry method. The results showed that MnSOD activity and PGC1α levels of LCD28 increased compared to the other groups, signifying higher mitochondrial function and biogenesis. Meanwhile, no significant difference in LDH activity was found, signifying similar levels of anaerobic glycolysis.

Abstract

Background: The liver microenvironment plays a key role in liver fibrosis and carcinogenesis. This study aimed to fill the gap in knowledge on the interaction between hepatic stellate cells and endothelial progenitor cells with biomarkers of liver fibrosis and/or carcinogenesis, including Col1A1, TGF-β, and tenascin-C. Methods: CD34+ stem cells were isolated from umbilical-cord-blood mononuclear cells. 2D and 3D co-culture of CD34+ UCB SCs and LX2 was performed. The cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator for three days. Morphological observation, qRT-PCR of TGF-β1 and COL1A1, and immunocytochemistry of tenascin-C were performed. Results: CD34+ UCB SCs were viable in the 2D and 3D co-culture for 24 h. 3D co-culture of CD34+ UCB SCs and LX2 inhibited in vitro liver fibrosis by lowering Col 1A1 expression as compared to control. We observed lower TGF-β expression in 3D co-culture on days 1 and 2 followed by higher expression of TGF-β on day 3. 2D co-culture of CD34+ UCB SCs and LX2 showed a different level of COL1A1 and TGF- β expression compared with 3D co-culture. Spheroids from 2D co-culture of CD34+ UCB SCs and LX-2 showed immunoreactivity against tenascin-C. Conclusion: Interaction between LX-2 and CD34+ UCB SCs in 3D co-culture inhibits in vitro liver fibrosis. The viability of CD34+ UCB SCs is essential for attenuation of TGF-β signaling in LX-2.

Abstract

Capsaicin topikal dengan konsentrasi tinggi (8%) efektif dalam pengobatan nyeri pada pasien Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) dan HIV-Associated Distal Sensory Polyneuropathy (HIV-DSP), namun penggunaan capsaicin ini masih menimbulkan reaksi yang tidak diinginkan pada tempat aplikasi. Banyak penelitian telah dilakukan untuk mengurangi efek samping yang terjadi karena pemakaian capsaicin. Penelitian ini bertujuan memformulasikan dan mengkarakterisasi capsaicin transfersom konsentrasi tinggi pada sediaan gel serta melihat penetrasinya ke dalam kulit dengan alat sel difusi Franz. Formula Capsaicin transfersom menggunakan campuran Phospholiphon 90G dan Tween 80 dengan rasio (90:10); (85:15); dan (80:20). Formula optimum transfersom dihasilkan oleh campuran fosfatidilkolin (Phospholiphon 90G®) dan Tween 80 (80:20) dengan ukuran partikel 183,03±25,95 nm, potential zeta -33,87±0,83 mV, dan efisiensi penjerapan 71,58+0,12 %. Formula terpilih Transfersom dibentuk ke dalam suatu sediaan gel kemudian dibandingkan dengan gel non-transfersom untuk melihat penetrasinya ke dalam kulit melalui uji sel difusi Franz. Selanjutnya, dianalisa menggunakan metode Spektrofotometri UV-Vis dengan panjang gelombang 281 nm. Berdasarkan uji sel difusi Franz, didapatkan jumlah kumulatif gel capsaicin transfersom sebesar 7572,19 ng/cm2 dan gel capsaicin non-transfersom sebesar 20326,66 ng/cm2. Nilai fluks Capsaicin transfersom adalah 329,12 ng.cm-2jam-1 and capsaicin non-transfersom adalah 760,08 ng.cm-2jam-1. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa komposisi Phospholiphon 90G® dan Tween 80 dengan rasio 80:20 menghasilkan formula optimum dari transfersom capsaicin konsentrasi tinggi. Gel capsaicin transfersom memiliki kemampuan penetrasi yang lebih lambat dibandingkan capsaicin non transfersom. Hasil ini diharapkan dapat mengurangi efek samping dari capsaicin yang bersifat iritan, namun, perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut terkait hal ini.

Abstract

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading form of liver cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Exosomes in the HCC microenvironment can induce significant changes in natural killer (NK) cells during endocytosis. The present study aimed to distinguish exosomes in the blood of HCC patients, analyze changes in NK cell phenotype, and evaluate peroxidase and toluidine blue staining as alternative methods for observing the changes. Methods: NK cells were collected from healthy donors, and exosomes were extracted from the blood of HCC patients. The exosomes were characterized in accordance with MISEV 2018 guidelines, and NK cells were incubated with HCC-derived exosomes. NK cell phenotype changes were assessed using immunofluorescence, toluidine blue staining, and peroxidase staining. Results: The identified exosomes measured 34.7 nm, had a charge of −4.33 mV, and were positive for CD81+. Changes in NK cell receptor expression following exposure to HCC exosomes were not significant (p > 0.05). Immunofluorescence confirmed exosome endocytosis by NK cells, toluidine blue staining revealed negative metachromasia and peroxidase staining indicated morphological NK cell changes. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that peroxidase and toluidine blue staining are effective for observing exosome endocytosis in NK cells, enhancing our understanding of HCC exosome-NK cell interactions and beneficial in developing future therapeutic strategies targeting the HCC microenvironment.

Abstract

Background: Repeated heating of cooking palm oils at high temperatures generates various toxic compounds, including lipid peroxidation products. These compounds are implicated in various diseases through oxidative stress and inflammation. This systematic review aims to evaluate the histopathological effects of thermally oxidized cooking oil (TOCO) consumption on the brain, heart, liver, and kidney, focusing on the roles of lipid peroxidation and inflammation. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using predefined keywords and inclusion/exclusion criteria. Studies published between 2013 and 2024 investigating the histopathological effects of TOCO on the specified organs were included. Data on histopathological changes, markers of lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde [MDA], 4-hydroxynonenal [4-HNE]), and inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) were extracted. Results: Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. The data revealed consistent histopathological changes across all four organs. In the brain, neuronal degeneration, astrogliosis, and microglial activation were observed. The heart exhibited cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, fibrosis, and inflammatory cell infiltration. The liver showed hepatocyte necrosis, steatosis, and inflammation. The kidneys presented with tubular necrosis, glomerular damage, and interstitial fibrosis. Elevated levels of MDA and 4-HNE were consistently reported in all affected tissues, along with increased expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Conclusion: Consumption of TOCO induces significant histopathological damage in the brain, heart, liver, and kidney. The observed damage is strongly associated with increased lipid peroxidation and inflammatory responses. These findings highlight the potential health risks associated with consuming repeatedly heated cooking oils and underscore the need for public health awareness and strategies to mitigate these risks.
