Abstract

Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) found in vegetables, drinking water, and cured meats, can damage tissue because it is an oxidant. Plant phytochemicals such as quercetin are antioxidants. This study aimed to determine the potential of red okra pods ethanol extract (ROE) to repair kidney damage in mice (Mus musculus) induced by NaNO2. The red okra pods were extracted three times with saturated ethanol. The experiment used 36 male BALB/c mice aged 6-8 weeks and body weight of about 28 g. There are six research groups, namely, normal control, negative control (exposure to NaNO2 50 mg/kg BW), treatment of exposure to NaNO2 and administration of ROE at doses of 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg/kg BW. Sodium nitrite and ROE were given daily for 23 days by gavage. On day 24, the serum was isolated. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cre) levels are measured to assess kidney function, as well as measuring the oxidant malondialdehyde (MDA) and the antioxidant enzyme of superoxide dismutase (SOD). The kidneys were made histological preparations and analyzed on the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT).  All data were statistically analyzed (α=0.05). This study indicated that the administration of ROE at a 100 mg/kg BW dose is the most optimal in repairing damage to the PCT with increased normal cells and reduced necrosis. Besides, it degraded BUN, Cre, and MDA levels in the serum of mice exposed to NaNO2 compared to the other treatments. All doses of ROE promoted the SOD level. ROE restore kidney tissue, especially on PCT to normal. Kidney damage due to exposure to NaNO2 preservatives can be reduced by administering ROE. ROE prevents kidney damage through an increase in antioxidant enzymes. ROE can be used as a food ingredient as a source of antioxidants, thereby reducing the impact of oxidant compounds.

Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major infection agent of tuberculosis that is controlled by the response of cell-mediated immunity. It is macrophages and cytolytic T lymphocytes. Activated macrophages will produce free radicals. Excessive free radicals cause tissue damage. Polysaccharide krestin contains β-glucan. It is a scavenger of free radicals. This research aimed to identify the influence of polysaccharide krestin from C. versicolor on nitrite and malondialdehyde concentrations of mice serum exposed by M. tuberculosis. Nitrite concentration was determined by nitrite assay. Malondialdehyde concentration was determined by TBARS assay. The result showed that adding polysaccharide krestin before exposure (P1) and adding polysaccharide krestin before-after exposure (P3) had the best potential to decrease nitrite concentration. Nitrite concentrations of P1 and P3 were 1.364 ± 0.523 M and 1.456 ± 0.712 M respectively. Meanwhile, P1 group and adding polysaccharide krestin after exposure (P2) had the best potential to decrease malondialdehyde concentration. Malondialdehyde concentrations of P1 and P2 were 1125.86 ± 97.96 µM and 953.86 ± 328.16 µM respectively. Their nitrite and malondialdehyde concentrations decreased, compared to K and K- groups. The research conclusion was that adding polysaccharide krestin before exposure could decrease both nitrite and malondialdehyde concentrations.How to CiteWahyuningsih, S., Pramudya, M., Sugiharto, S.

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium that causes infections in human. The wall cell of its bacteria contains lipopolysaccharide as virulency factors to protect it from human immunity. Lipopolysaccharide can inhibit phagocytosis in the body. Polysaccharide krestin (PSK) from Coriolus versicolor extract contains β-glucan that can increase phagocytic activity and capacity. This research aimed to identify the effect on polysaccharide krestin from C. versicolor extract on phagocytic activity and capacity of mice exposed by P. aeruginosa. The design of this research was experimental design. There were six treatment groups. The phagocytic activity and capacity were counted on slide smears of mice peritoneal fluid. The data was analyzed by using one way ANOVA. The results of the phagocytic activity and capacity showed that PSK was added before exposure (P1) or after exposure (P2) or before-after exposure (P3) had potential to increase phagocytic activity and capacity.  The conclusion of the research was that adding polysaccharide krestin either before exposure or after exposure or both of them could increase phagocytic activity and capacity. The benefits of this research to development of science are expected to reduce human infection and to utilize natural ingredients as immunomodulator.How to CiteWahyuningsih, S. P. A., Savira, N. I.

Abstract

Highlights: Red okra pods have a potential antioxidant to protect against DMBA-induced damage in a rat's liver. The liver protection with ROE decreased reversible and irreversible cellular damage from 51.8% to 35%, 27.3%, and 18.9%.   Abstract Background: Okra (Abelmonchus esculentus (L.) Moench) is a plant that has potential for humans and health because it contains high antioxidants such as polyphenols. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the red okra pods' ethanol extract (ROE) antioxidant potential to protect rat (Rattus norvegicus L.) liver against damage by induction of 7, 12-dimethyl-benz[a]anthracene (DMBA). Material and Method: The material used was various doses of red okra pods with ethanol as solvent. Twenty-five female rats (4 weeks, body weight 140”150 g) were divided into five groups: negative control (receiving a single dose of 0.5 mL corn oil as DMBA solvent), positive control (receiving a single dose induction of DMBA 80 mg/kg BW dissolved in 0.5 mL corn oil), and treatment groups 1, 2, 3 (receiving a single dose of DMBA 80 mg/kg BW dissolved in 0.5 mL corn oil and ROE of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg BW, respectively, daily for 35 days). On day 36, the livers were removed and prepared for histopathological observation using hematoxylin-eosin staining. The method of histopathological score was determined using an ordinal score. Result: The data were analyzed statistically (p>0.05). All ROE doses showed a significant decrease in the histopathological score of rats' liver damage caused by DMBA-induced. The liver protection with ROE reduced the percentages of reversible and irreversible cellular damage from 51.8% to 35%, 27.3%, and 18.9%, respectively. Conclusion: The red okra pod ethanol extract can protect against DMBA-induced liver damage in rats.

Abstract

Breast cancer can perform metastasis to distant organs and cause more than 90% of malignancy-related deaths. The anti-metastasis potency of nanodiamond-conjugated annonacin and squamocin against MCF-7 cells is currently studied. First, IC50 determination of both free annonacin and squamocin to evaluate their potency as cytotoxic agents. Upon getting the IC50 value, both compounds are conjugated into nanodiamonds. Drug loading efficiencies of nanodiamond-conjugated annonacin and squamocin are 88.9% and 89.1%, respectively. Meanwhile, the ND-annonacin and ND-squamocin complex size is 150-300 nm based on SEM imaging. Subsequently, cell viability assessment of MCF-7 was performed with six cohort designs, namely, K (control cell), AN (annonacin), SQ (squamocin), NDAN (nanodiamond-conjugated annonacin), and NDSQ (nanodiamond-conjugated squamocin). Both IC50 and cell viability are assessed by MTT assay after 24 h incubation. All cohorts also underwent gene expression analysis subject to the metastasis markers CTNND1 (catenin delta 1), NOTCH4, and C-JUN. Here, the IC50 of both free annonacin (4.52 µg/ml) and squamocin (10.03 µg/ml) are more than IC50 of potent anticancer (< 4 µg/ml) for pure compounds. However, nanodiamond conjugation to both compounds can decrease cell viability better than free compounds. Compared to K, nanodiamond-conjugated annonacin and squamocin significantly decreases cell viability after 24 h incubation. Bioinformatics analysis confirmed significant pro-metastasis (C-JUN and NOTCH4) upregulation and anti-metastasis (CTNND1) downregulation in tumors compared to normal. Recent findings demonstrated that nanodiamond-conjugated annonacin can significantly upregulate CTNND1 and significantly downregulate C-JUN and NOTCH4. Even so, nanodiamond-conjugated squamocin upregulate CTNND1 but not significantly and significantly downregulate C-JUN and NOTCH4.

Abstract

N-Methyl-N-Nitrosourea (MNU) is a compound that induces oxidative stress resulting in high levels of oxidants and damage to body cells. Red okra contains polyphenol and flavonoid active ingredients as antioxidants. This study aims to analyze the effect of ethanol extract of red okra pods (ROPE) on oxidant levels, antioxidant enzymes, and damage to rat kidney proximal tubule cells due to NMU. This study used 30 rats divided into six treatment groups, namely CN (normal), N (negative control; MNU 50 mg/kg BW), P (positive control; MNU and MTX 50 mg/kg BW), T1 (MNU and ROPE 50 mg/kg BW), T2 (MNU and ROPE 100 mg/kg BW), and T3 (MNU and ROPE 200 mg/kg BW). The treatment was carried out on all groups after eight weeks. The results indicate that malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitrogen oxide (NO) decrease with the ROPE treatment. The glutathione reductase (GSH) activity as an antioxidant enzyme increased T1 and T2, while glutathione peroxidase (GPx) showed an increase in T2 and T3. Furthermore, the biochemical marker of the rat kidney showed lower blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cre) levels in all treatment groups. Then, the repair of damaged proximal tubule cells showed an increase in normal cells and lower swollen cells; however, there was a degradation in necrotic cells in T2 and T3. It can be indicated that the ROPE can act as an antioxidant that can reduce MDA and NO levels, increase GSH and GPx levels, and reduce damage to proximal renal tubule cells due to MNU.

Abstract

Aeromonas hydrophila can cause motile Aeromonas septicemia, leading to high mortality in catfish. An effective alternative to treat this bacterial infection is administering the probiotic Lactobacillus casei FNCC 0090. However, proper fisheries management is crucial for long-term success. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of administering the probiotic L. casei FNCC 0090 on the growth parameters and immune system of catfish. 200 catfish were divided into 5 different treatments in 5 replicates. The treatments were KN (negative control: without probiotic and infected), KP (positive control: without probiotic and not infected), A (5% probiotic and infected), B (10% probiotic and infected), C (probiotic 15% and infected). The density of probiotics administered is 108 CFU/ml. The fish were kept for 42 days; on the 35th day, the fish were infected with 1 x 108 CFU/ml A. hydrophila intramuscularly. The parameters observed in this study are fish growth (specific growth rate, SGR; feed conversion ratio, FCR; and survival rate, SR) and the immune system (phagocytic activity and the amount of lysozyme enzyme). The data obtained were analyzed with SPSS One Way ANOVA. The results showed that the administration of 15% probiotic L. casei FNCC 0090 had a significant effect on the growth parameters and immune system.
