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 ?-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 M and 953.86 328.16 M 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

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is reported to have various biological functions such as antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammation. However, only few studies have been reported immunomodulatory activities of okra to prevent disease caused by bacteria infection. In this study, the immunomodulatory activities of polysaccharides from okra pods were investigated further through the spleen weight and B-lymphocytes proliferation in mice infected by Staphylococcus aureus. Okra polysaccharides were obtained by water extraction and ethanol precipitation. Okra polysaccharides with doses of 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg/kg BW were orally administrated to mice with or without Staphylococcus aureus infection. Spleen weight was evaluated in both treatment group and control group. B-lymphocytes proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay using LPS induction. Results showed that okra polysaccharide at the doses of 50, 75, and 100 mg/kg increased spleen weight (p < 0.05) significantly. While at the dose of 75 and 100 mg/kg, it increased the B-lymphocytes proliferation (p < 0.05) significantly. There is positive correlation between the spleen weight and B-lymphocytes proliferation by 73.3%. These result reveal that okra polysaccharide could improve the immune response and be utilized as a novel candidate of neutraceutical.

Abstract

Polytyrene nanoplastics (NPs) (<1 µm) have high toxicity when entered and accumulated in cells. NPs accumulation causes oxidation stress, thus increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, resulting in necrosis or apoptosis, as well as affecting endogenous antioxidant activity, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Cinnamomum burmanni plant contains flavonoids, cinnamaldehyde, phen, and olic acid, potentially exogenous antioxidants. The study aims to analyze the potential of C. burmanni leaf extract for SOD and CAT levels, sperm quality, epithellia tubulus thickness, tubulus seminiferus diameter, and number of spermatogenic Rattus norvegicus cells exposed to NPs. Twenty-five male R. novergicus are divided into five groups (n = 5): two controls (without and with NPs) and three groups (combination of NPs and variations in extract concentrations of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg. The SOD and CAT levels were measured with an ELISA kit. The histology was observed by counting the spermatogenic cells, measuring the epithellia thickness, and tubulus seminiferus diameter. The sperm motility, viability, and sperm count were observed to determine the sperm quality. Leaf extract of C. burmanni treatment with different concentrations not significantly increased SOD levels but significantly decreased the levels of CAT (P<0.05). The addition of C. burmanni leaf extract significantly increased the spermatogenic cell count, epithelia tubulous thickness, sperm viability, and sperm count (P<0.05), while sperm motility and tubulous seminiferous diameter not significantly increased. According to the results, C. burmanni leaf extract has antioxidant potential against the toxic effects of NPS.

Abstract

Highlights Ganyong tuber exhibits immunomodulatory activity against Staphylococcus aureus infection in mice. Ganyong tuber extract increases phagocytic activity, leukocyte count, and spleen weight in infected mice.   ABSTRACT Background:  Ganyong tubers (Canna edulis K.) are widely consumed by Indonesians as an alternative food source. However, no studies have investigated the pharmacological properties of ganyong tubers, particularly their immunomodulatory activity. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the immunomodulatory effects of ganyong tubers in mice infected with Staphylococcus aureus. Material and Method: This study used a randomized experimental design involving 30 male BALB/c mice divided into five groups, including a normal control, a negative control (infected with Staphylococcus aureus), and three groups treated with ganyong (Canna edulis K.) extract at doses of 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg BW. The extract was administered orally for seven days, followed by S. aureus injection. Phagocytic activity, leukocyte count, spleen weight, and antibody levels were evaluated using microscopy and ELISA. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Duncan’s post hoc test. Result: This study evaluated the immunomodulatory effects of ganyong tuber (Canna edulis K.) extract on phagocytosis activity and capacity, leukocyte count, spleen weight, and antibody levels in mice infected with Staphylococcus aureus. Phagocytosis activity and capacity were highest in the group receiving 50 mg/kg body weight (BW) extract, with decreasing effects at higher doses. Leukocyte counts were highest in the infected untreated group, while spleen weight was significantly increased in the 50 mg/kg BW treatment group compared to controls. Although the 100 mg/kg BW group showed the highest antibody levels, these differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Ganyong tuber extract demonstrated immunomodulatory activity by enhancing innate immune responses against S. aureus infection.

Abstract

Cutaneous Candida albicans infection is characterized by persistent inflammation, epidermal damage, and dysregulated immune responses. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have emerged as promising antifungal agents with additional immunomodulatory properties; however, their effects on skin pathology and local immune responses during candidiasis remain incompletely defined. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of a topical AgNP-based cream in a murine model of C. albicans–induced skin infection. AgNPs were green-synthesized using an aqueous leaf extract of Piper ornatum. A murine model of cutaneous C. albicans infection was established, and infected mice were treated topically with AgNP-based cream formulations at concentrations of 4% or 6%. Disease severity was assessed through macroscopic skin evaluation and histopathological analysis. Immune modulation was examined by flow cytometric analysis of CD4⁺ T-cell subsets expressing TNFα and IL-17, as well as CD11b⁺ myeloid cells expressing IL-6 and IL-10. Untreated infected mice exhibited severe cutaneous pathology, including persistent erythema, erosive lesions, epidermal hyperkeratosis, and acanthosis. These changes were accompanied by marked immune dysregulation, characterized by expansion of CD4⁺IL-17⁺ T-cells, suppression of TNFα-producing CD4⁺ T-cells, increased IL-6 expression, and reduced IL-10 production in CD11b⁺ myeloid cells. Topical AgNP treatment significantly ameliorated macroscopic and histological skin damage, restoring epidermal architecture toward normal. Immunologically, AgNP therapy attenuated pathological Th17 responses, reduced IL-6-producing myeloid cells, enhanced IL-10 expression, and maintained TNFα at controlled levels. Both AgNP concentrations were effective, with the 4% AgNP formulation showing slightly superior normalization of epidermal thickness and inflammatory markers. Overall, topical AgNP-based cream effectively alleviated cutaneous C. albicans infection by combining antifungal activity with coordinated immunomodulation of both adaptive and innate immune responses. By suppressing excessive IL-17– and IL-6–driven inflammation while promoting regulatory immune pathways, AgNP treatment supports tissue repair and immune homeostasis, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic strategy for cutaneous candidiasis.
