Abstract

Background: Colon cancer is a major public health problem. The present study was conducted to determine the inhibitory effect of Annona muricata leaves on carcinogenesis and inflammation in the colorectal preneoplasia development of mice.Methods: The effect of Ethanol Insoluble Fraction of Annona muricata water extract (EIFAM) was examined on the preneoplastic lesions (aberrant crypt foci), polyps and tumors induced by the carcinogenic agent azoxymethane (10 mg/kg), followed by administered of 1% DSS during a week in drinking water. (EIFAM)was administered orally in three different doses (200 mg/kgBW (low dose), 400 mg/kgBW (medium dose), and 800 mg/kgBW (high dose)) in each group of mice per day until the mice were terminated. The expression of Caspase, COX-2, and β-catenin were observed in the epithelial cells of colon mucosa crypts.Results: The effects of the extract on various organs’ inflammatory markers varies. COX lowering effect of high dose is significant in liver. Medium dose has significant catenin lowering effect on jejenum, colon, and brain. While the medium and high dose have significant catenin lowering effect on duodenum, heart, and kidney respectively. Histological assessment was done in a blinded fashion to avoid bias. Our results indicate that multiple organ dysplasia was induced with azoxymethane (AOM) in male Swiss Webster mice. The effect of A. muricata extract administration showed significant result only on heart. The activity of caspase showed no significant effect on all organs when treated with the extracts as compared to untreated group.Conclusions: Ethanol-insoluble fraction of Annona muricata (EIFAM) leaves water extract is potential to be an anti-colon cancer proven by the extract capability to reduce inflammatory responses.

Abstract

Introduction Cell-size area (CSA) becomes the standard parameter routinely tested in vitro for cardiac hypertrophy studies. Thus, staining is an essential tool for this purpose. As reported in a previous study, immunofluorescence staining is an established method for CSA. However, because it is expensive and requires a specialized microscope, e.g., immunofluorescence or confocal microscope, it is not applicable in a laboratory with limited equipment. Wright-Giemsa staining is a standard procedure in hematology laboratories and is inexpensive and convenient. Here, we shared our experience developing a CSA determination protocol using Wright-Giemsa in H9c2 cardiomyoblast. Methods The viability tests were performed on H9c2 to determine the effective dosage of angiotensin II and Irbesartan (standard drug). The H9c2 were divided into three groups: the control group (without either angiotensin II or irbesartan), the negative control (with angiotensin II), and the positive control (with angiotensin II and Irbesartan), triplicate for each group. The cells then are acclimatized overnight, serum-starved for one day, and incubated with angiotensin and irbesartan for 48 hours. Lastly, Wright-Giemsa was observed using a light microscope in three fields. The CSA was determined by three independent observers blindly, statistically different if the p<0.05 using ANOVA ways or Kruskal-Wallis. Results After the H9c2 induced by angiotensin-II 1 μM and Irbesartan 1μM, we found the CSA significantly differed among each group (p<0,0001). The negative control has a higher median and interquartile range (IQR) CSA (10.78 (6.79) um2) compared to the control group (median (IQR) 7.27 (4.91) um2) and positive control (median (IQR) 7.849(5.31) um2). Conclusion It can be concluded that the Wright-Giemsa might help determine the CSA for in-vitro hypertrophic studies.

Abstract

Inflammation is known as the basic mechanism underlying various chronic diseases. Macrophage activation by inflammatory stimulus induces the release of inflammatory mediators, thus the mediators becoming a promising target of anti-inflammatory drug development. Previous studies indicated that fucoidan has anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the release of proinflammatory mediators. The aim of this study is determining anti-inflammatory activity of fucoidan crude extract form Sargassum crassifolium Garut waters by observing its effect on proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, dan IL-6. Fucoidan is a polysaccharide substance which has various characteristics, depending on the source and the extraction method which is influencing its bioactivity. Sargassum crassifolium collected from Garut-West Java is extracted using diluted HCl 0,1 M and precipitated with ethanol to obtain fucoidan crude extract. The crude extract is tested on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells to evaluate its effect on TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 level using ELISA method. The result showed that fucoidan crude extract decreased the level of TNF-α by the dose of 25 and 50 μg/ml, and decreased the level of IL-1β and IL-6 by the dose of 25 μg/ml. The dose of 50 μg/ml failed to inhibit IL-1β and IL-6 production. This study showed that fucoidan crude extract derived from S. crassifolium has anti-inflammatory activity to RAW 264.7 cells by the dose of 25 μg/ml.

Abstract

Lipoxygenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of leukotriene, which is involved in various diseases  such as asthma, osteoporosis and atherosclerosis. Inhibition of this enzyme can overcome inflammatory diseases. Tetracera  macrophylla Wall.ex Hook. f.& Thoms plant has shown various biological activities, especially as an anti-inflammatory. This study  aims to analyze phytochemical constituents and evaluate the lipoxygenase activity of Tetracera macrophylla twig extract. The  sample was gradually macerated using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Phytochemical analysis of the extract was carried  out using the LC-MS/MS method. Lipoxygenase assay was performed in vitro using RAW 264.7 macrophage cells induced with  lipopolysaccharide using spectrofluorometry. As a comparison, zileuton, which has been established as a 5-LOX inhibitor and  quercetin, which has the potential as a 5-LOX inhibitor. The results showed that methanol extract of Tetracera macrophylla twigs (RM3) had lower specific LOX activity (0.350 mU/mL) than standard zileuton (7.927 mU/mL) and quercetin (12.837 mU/mL).  Decreased LOX activity can lessen the generation of leukotrienes, which cause inflammation. The study showed that methanol extract of Tetracera macrophylla twigs contains active compounds that can be developed as lipoxygenase inhibitors

Abstract

Background: c-MYC expression has been used as a prognostic marker to predict prognosis and determine therapeutic strategies in both Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) subtypes. No study on c-MYC expression associated with DLBCL has ever been conducted in Indonesia. Our study aimed to evaluate differences in c-MYC expression in both DLBCL subtypes and assess the immunophenotype profile.Method: We selected 40 DLBCL cases and divided them into Germinal Center B-cell (GCB) and non-GCB subtypes using Hans Criteria. We evaluated c-MYC expression, and a cut-off value of 60.4% was determined using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.Results: We found that c-MYC expression was significantly higher in GCB subtypes compared to non-GCB subtypes (n = 17 (42.5%) vs n = 20 (7.5%), p 0.000 and mostly had an immunophenotype of CD10+/BCL6+/MUM1+.Conclusion: Higher c-MYC expression is found more frequently in GCB subtypes. These findings suggest that c-MYC may play a subtype-specific role in DLBCL pathogenesis, potentially influencing therapeutic decisions for Indonesian patients. Future studies should validate these results in larger, multi-center cohorts and explore the mechanistic link between c-MYC and the GCB subtype and its clinical implications for targeted therapies.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, necessitating the need for an effective therapeutic strategy. Beta vulgaris (beetroot) possesses active compounds that exert anti-cancer properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of beetroot as a preventative agent against the progression of CRC using differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis and network pharmacology approaches. The protein-protein interaction network and molecular docking analyses were employed to assess the key interactions of beetroot active compounds with CRC-related target protein. Cytotoxicity of beetroot extract was experimentally evaluated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay on the HT29 cell line. The result of this study showed that protein in the cell cycle was significantly enriched in CRC, with cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) gene as one of the specific genes. Quercetin, galangin, hesperidin, farrerol, and betanin were the most typical compounds of beetroot based on the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD). Molecular docking studies revealed the strong binding affinity between quercetin (-7.04 kcal/mol) and bentanin (-8.11 kcal/mol) with CDK4. Beetroot demonstrated anticancer properties against the HT29 cell line with IC50 value of 39.03±1.4 µg/mL. In conclusion, the beetroot extract has inhibitory activity against HT29 cell line proliferation, highlighting its potential in preventing the development of CRC through the substantial suppression of gene expression within the cell cycle pathway.
