Abstract

Background: Hypercholesterol is a change in blood lipid profile levels, from rising cholesterol levels that can be triggered by frequent consumption of fatty foods. Hypercholesterol causes adipose tissue and macrophages to release inflammatory cytokines, then adipose cells release IL-6 and spur the formation of CRP. This study aimed to determine the effect of Virgin coconut oil (VCO) on changes in HDL, LDL, and IL-6 levels in hyper cholesterol mice.Subjects and Method: This randomized controlled trial was carried out at the PSPG UGM Nutrition Laboratory in August 2021. The total number of samples used was 20 tails and 4 spare tails, namely 24 male Wistar strain rats. Sampling using simple random sampling. The independent variables in this study were the dose of VCO 0.9 ml/200g BW/day, and 0.45 ml/200g BW/day. The dependent variables in this study were HDL, LDL, and IL-6 cholesterol levels in male Wistar rats. The data in the analysis used a normality test with the Shapiro-Wilk test and a data homogeneity test with the Levane test. HDL dan LDL levels were measured using a lysis reagent, while IL-6 was measured using the ELISA method.Results: Average LDL and HDL levels are highest in the P1 group compared to the P2, K0, and K1 groups. The One Way Anova test on HDL levels showed a significant difference between groups with p<0.001. One Way Anova test results on LDL and IL-6 levels showed significant differences between the groups (p<0.001) and (p= 0.004).Conclusion: Administering VCO at a dose of 0.9 mL/ 200 g BB/day 0.45 mL/200 g BB/day, and 86.4 mg/200 g can increase HDL and IL-6 levels in male rats Wistar strain with hyper cholesterol and lowered LDL levels by the same dose in male mice with hyper cholesterol.Keywords: hyper cholesterol, HDL, LDL, IL-6Correspondence: Meli Maulidia, Magister Ilmu Biomedik, Universitas Islam Sultan Agung Semarang.

Abstract

Background Repeated ultraviolet-B (UVB) exposure induces significant collagen degradation, primarily through overproduction of reactive oxygen species, which subsequently drives an inflammatory cascade. Hypoxia-preconditioned mesenchymal stem cells (H-MSCs) constitute a promising therapeutic approach to counteract collagen loss by modulating inflammatory pathways. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of H-MSCs in regulating NF-κB p65 and IL-1β expression in a collagen loss rat model, highlighting their therapeutic efficacy. Methods Twenty-five healthy male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to five groups: K1 (healthy controls), K2 (collagen loss), K3 (collagen loss + hyaluronic acid), K4 (collagen loss + 2.5 × 10⁵ H-MSCs), and K5 (collagen loss + 5 × 10⁵ H-MSCs). Collagen loss was induced by UVB radiation (peak wavelength: 302 nm) for 2 weeks. mRNA expression of NF-κB p65 was quantified by qRT-PCR, while IL-1β levels were assessed using ELISA. The rats were maintained for 14 days before being sacrificed, to allow the H-MSCs to exert their therapeutic effects. Data analysis was by One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test. Results The administration of H-MSCs significantly reduced IL-1β levels in groups K4 (633.14±63.76 pg/mL) and K5 (520.80±123.82 pg/mL) compared to group K2 (931.93±205.80 pg/mL) (p<0.05), with group K5 showing the most substantial reduction. Moreover, H-MSC injection in groups K4 and K5 effectively reduced NF-κB p65 expression levels (1.13±0.50 a.u. and 0.72±0.22 a.u., respectively), compared to group K2 (2.47±0.50 a.u.) (p<0.05), with group K5 providing optimum inhibition. Conclusion This study demonstrated that H-MSCs effectively attenuate UVB-induced inflammation and modulate key inflammatory pathways.

Abstract

Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is known to induce skin damage, including erythema, roughness, sagging, wrinkles, and reduced skin moisture, contributing to premature aging. Turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn.) contains curcumin, an active compound with potent anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated the effect of turmeric ethanol extract on IL-6 and IL-10 levels, as well as skin moisture, in UVB-exposed rats. A total of 24 Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: healthy controls (K1), UVB-exposed without treatment (K2), UVB-exposed treated with turmeric ethanol extract at 100 mg/kg BW (K3), and 200 mg/kg BW (K4). The extract was administered orally for 14 days. IL-6 and IL-10 levels were measured using ELISA, and skin moisture was assessed macroscopically. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA. Rats in groups K2, K3, and K4 exhibited very dry skin, redness, visible wrinkles, and peeling following UVB exposure. IL-6 levels were significantly lower in treated groups, with the lowest levels observed in K4 (1.85 ± 0.24 ng/L), compared to K1 (4.36 ± 0.75 ng/L) and K2 (4.46 ± 0.74 ng/L) (p = 0.000). IL-10 levels increased in the treated groups, notably in K3 (376.48 ± 78.24 pg/mL) and K4 (351.06 ± 78.24 pg/mL), compared to K1 (285.34 ± 45.54 pg/mL) and K2 (306.89 ± 45.54 pg/mL) (p = 0.001). These findings suggest that oral administration of turmeric ethanol extract modulates inflammatory responses by reducing IL-6 and enhancing IL-10 in UVB-exposed skin, although significant dryness persists.

Abstract

Continuous exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation can induce photoaging and accelerate premature skin aging. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a medicinal plant that contains curcumin, an active compound known for its anti-inflammatory properties and its role in accelerating wound healing. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of turmeric ethanol extract on TNF-α levels and wound lesion areas in Wistar rats exposed to UVB radiation. A post-test-only control group design was employed, involving 24 Wistar rats divided into four groups: a healthy control group (K1), a negative control group (K2), and two treatment groups receiving oral turmeric ethanol extract at doses of 100 mg/kg BW (K3) and 200 mg/kg BW (K4) for 14 days, with concurrent UVB exposure. TNF-α levels were assessed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test, while wound lesion areas were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the Mann–Whitney U test. The results showed that the highest TNF-α levels were observed in the healthy control group (129.14 ng/L), although no statistically significant differences were found between groups (p = 0.538). In contrast, a significant difference was observed in wound lesion areas (p < 0.001), with the largest lesions occurring in the negative control group. In conclusion, oral administration of turmeric ethanol extract did not significantly affect TNF-α levels but was effective in reducing the area of wound lesions caused by UVB exposure.

Abstract

Hyperpigmentation of the skin is a result of ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure, which causes oxidative stress due to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to various skin problems, including melanin accumulation. Exosomes can affect melanocyte activity. Exosomes, as small vesicles released by cells, can affect melanocyte activity and play an important role in various hyperpigmentation processes. The study aims to determine the effect of exosome mesenchymal stem cell hypoxia (EH-MSC) and glutathione with vitamin C on IL-10 levels and CD163 expression. IL-10 gene expression was measured using qRT-PCR, while CD163 expression was analyzed via immunohistochemical staining. A total of 30 male C57BL/6 mice were used and randomly assigned to five different treatment groups. The highest expression of IL-10 was observed in the EH-MSCs-treated group (K4), although the difference was not statistically significant compared to the control (p = 0.135). In contrast, the group receiving a combination of EH-MSCs with glutathione and vitamin C (K5) exhibited the highest percentage of CD163 expression, with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.00). These findings demonstrate that the administration of EH-MSC and glutathione with vitamin C significantly increased the expression of CD163, but insignificantly increased IL-10 in C57BL/6 mice with a UVB-induced hyperpigmentation model.
