Abstract

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by an abnormal immune response to infection, leading to high mortality rates in intensive care units (ICUs) worldwide. Caspase-3, a crucial enzyme in the apoptosis pathway, plays a significant role in sep-sis-related cellular damage. This study investigates the anti-apoptotic potential of Paederia foetida L. leaf extract by examining its effect on Caspase-3 expression in an Escherichia coli-induced sepsis mice model. Male Balb/c mice were divided into six groups, including positive control, negative control, and treatment groups receiving varying doses of the extract (100 mg/kgBW, 300 mg/kgBW, and 500 mg/kgBW). Caspase-3 expression in the spleen was measured after 24 hours of treatment. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in Caspase-3 expression, particularly in the group treated with 500 mg/kgBW of the extract, indicating its anti-apoptotic effect. These findings suggest that P. foetida leaf extract may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for reducing cell apoptosis in sepsis, warranting further investigation into its mechanisms and clinical pharmacological field.

Abstract

Sepsis is a critical medical condition characterized by a systemic immune response to in-fection, which can lead to severe organ dysfunction and mortality. Bacterial sepsis, par-ticularly caused by Escherichia coli, poses a significant risk due to its potential to harm tissues and organs, including the liver. The liver plays a central role in metabolic process-es and host defense during sepsis, making it a key organ of interest. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Paederia foetida leaf extract on liver weight in a mice sepsis mod-el. Mice were divided into six groups: normal control (N), negative control (K-) receiving distilled water, positive control (K+) receiving ciprofloxacin, treatment 1 (P1) receiving P. foetida extract at 100 mg/kg BW, treatment 2 (P2) receiving 300 mg/kg BW, and treat-ment 3 (P3) receiving 500 mg/kg BW. After 14 days of treatment, significant differences in liver weight were observed among the groups, with the highest mean and standard de-viation recorded in the P1 group (1.3750 ± 0.3932). Liver abnormalities, including swell-ing, lobular thickening, and weight increase, were identified, indicating the liver’s adap-tive response to toxic substances during sepsis. Interestingly, the normal control group exhibited higher liver weights compared to the treatment groups, possibly due to fatty substance accumulation within the liver tissues. These findings suggest that P. foetida ex-tract may influence liver weight changes in sepsis, potentially modulating metabolic and detoxification processes. Further studies focusing on histopathological and biochemical mechanisms are needed to clarify the therapeutic potential of P. foetida in managing liver dysfunction associated with sepsis.
