Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is currently one of the most common types of cancer suffered by women, with the highest prevalence in all countries in the world. Herbal plants are thought to increase the immune system against tumors, one of which is okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) has the potential as an anti-tumor and anti-carcinogenic. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of ethanol okra extract on granzyme expression and tumor mass diameter in mammary adenocarcinoma of rats treated with adriamycin-cyclophosphamide chemotherapy. Methods: This study is an experimental study using 28 Sprague Dawley Rats. Data analysis was performed with SPSS version 21 to assess differences in granzyme expression and tumor size. Results: The combination of chemotherapy and okra fruit extract (P3) showed optimal potential in increasing granzyme expression and reducing mammary tumor size. Conclusion: The okra fruit extract has potential in the treatment of mammary carcinoma by increasing the expression of granzymes so as to reduce the size of breast carcinoma tumors in vivo.

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is cancer in women with the highest incidence. Adriamycin-cyclophosphamide (AC) chemotherapy is a breast cancer therapy with good efficacy, but its effectiveness has not been maximized. The okra fruit extract is known to have anti-cancer effects from lectins, so it can be used as a complementary chemotherapy therapy to increase effectiveness with minimal side effects. Methods: This study is an experimental study using female rats Sprague Dawley strain, aged 4 weeks, were induced by DMBA to form mammary adenocarcinoma cells. Divided into groups; control (K): no treatment, treatment 1 (P1): AC chemotherapy (adriamycin 1.5 mg/time and cyclophosphamide 15 mg/time), treatment 2 (P2): okra extract 150 mg/kgBW/day, and treatment 3 (P3): combination of AC and okra extract. Results: The highest levels of caspase-3 and apoptosis index were found in the P3 group at 39.66±1.78 and 20.93±1.67, respectively. Giving green okra extract to chemotherapy agents can increase the anti-cancer effect by increasing the apoptosis index and caspase-3 levels significantly (p<0.05) compared to other groups. Conclusion: Okra fruit extract was able to increase the apoptosis response to adriamycin-cyclophosphamide chemotherapy in vivo, as indicated by the high expression of caspase-3 and apoptosis index.
