Abstract

Squamocin is one of the annonaceous acetogenins produced by the Annonaceae family and displays potent anti-cancer activity against cancer cell lines. This study aimed to investigate the growth inhibition activity of squamocin coupled with nanodiamond on rats (Rattus norvegicus)-induced breast cancer. Twenty-five female R. norvegicus were divided into five groups (n = 5), including normal control (without any treatment), negative control, group treated with nanodiamond only (ND), group treated with squamocin only (SQ), and the group treated with squamocin coupled with nanodiamond (NDSQ). All of the animal models were induced for breast cancer, except for the normal control group. Breast cancer induction was performed using two doses of N-nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU) injection (50 and 30 mg/kg body weight) intraperitoneally and waited for 22 weeks until the tumor was detected to formed. Nanodiamond coupled with squamocin were administered by intraperitoneal injection (1.5 mg/kg body weight) for 5 weeks, one injection per 3 days. This study showed that the treatment with squamocin coupled with nanodiamond (NDSQ) significantly reduced the proliferation (Ki-67) and induced apoptosis (Caspase-3) of breast cancer cells, corresponding to the reduction of the thickness of the mammary ductal epithelium (p<0.001) and the lower level of CA-153 in serum. In addition, the treatment significantly reduced the malondioldehyde (MDA) and PI3KCA and increased the p53 level significantly. Altogether, in this study, we are the first to report the anti-cancer activity of squamocin in rat-induced breast cancer and the potency of nanodiamond as a carrier of squamocin to increase its anti-cancer activity.

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

Komunitas peternak sapi perah di Junrejo, Batu menghadapi tantangan dalam meningkatkan produktivitas dan kualitas susu akibat rendahnya kesehatan ternak dan keterbatasan akses terhadap teknologi pakan yang efisien. Program pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan keterampilan peternak dalam memanfaatkan probiotik dan Single Cell Protein (SCP) sebagai pakan tambahan, yang diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kualitas kesehatan dan produktivitas ternak. Program ini menggunakan pendekatan partisipatif yang melibatkan pelatihan langsung dan sesi diskusi untuk memastikan penerapan yang efektif dan berkelanjutan. Probiotik dan SCP berperan dalam memperbaiki mikrobiota usus ternak, meningkatkan efisiensi pencernaan, dan memberikan sumber protein berkualitas tinggi. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan bahwa setelah mengikuti kegiatan ini, seluruh peserta (100%) memahami dasar-dasar probiotik dan SCP, serta mampu menerapkannya secara mandiri di peternakan mereka. Di samping itu, penggunaan molase sebagai media perbanyakan probiotik mendukung prinsip ekonomi sirkuler, mengurangi limbah produksi gula, dan menciptakan solusi pakan yang ramah lingkungan. Program ini berhasil meningkatkan kapasitas komunitas peternak lokal, sehingga dapat berkontribusi terhadap kesejahteraan ekonomi mereka melalui peningkatan hasil susu dan biaya operasional yang lebih efisien.
