Abstract

Background: Chemotherapy is a common treatment for leukemia as well as in other cancer treatment. The lack of tumor selectivity and development of multi-drug resistance by chemotherapy caused the development of new strategy in cancer treatment become a pressing need. This study was performed to evaluate the anticancer activity and selectivity of seven derivatives of chalcones against K562 and HL-60 leukemia cell lines. Materials and Methods: The cytotoxicity of chalcone’s seven derivatives (compound 1-7) was tested by using MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxyme-thoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) method. The percentage of cell mortality data was calculated then the IC50 was analyzed using probit analysis (SPSS 17). The selectivity index (SI) then calculated from IC50 ratio of normal lymphocyte cells and cancerous cells line (HL-60 and K562).Results: The IC50 of almost all seven tested compounds were lower in HL-60 cell lines than K562 cell lines, except for Compound 7. The number and position of methoxy groups in chalcone derivatives influenced the anticancer and cancer selectivity of chalcone derivatives.Conclusion: The results revealed that the number and position of methoxy groups in chalcone derivatives influenced the anticancer and cancer selectivity of chalcone derivatives.Keywords: anticancer, chalcone derivatives, methoxy-4’-amino chalcone, leukemia, cytotoxic, selectivity

Abstract

Background: Malaria is still a universal health problem, especially in tropical countries because of high morbidity and mortality rates. Infection by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax could result in asymptomatic disease of malaria and be found in Trenggalek, Jawa Timur. Differences in pathogenesis among affected individuals are affected by many factors, and the immune system is one of them. Among substances involved in the malarial immunity is Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α and Interleukin (IL)-10, produced by the body's defense system as the reaction to the parasite. Therefore a study was designed to detect the level of TNF-α and IL-10 in asymptomatic malaria patients.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Thirty male asymptomatic malaria subjects, age 21 to 60 years were selected. Blood from each subject was collected and the levels of TNF-α and IL-10 were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Significant values considered at p<0.05.Results: There was an increased level of TNF-α with the average of 218.760 pg/µL, and an increased level of IL-10 with an average of 257.574 pg/µL in asymptomatic malaria subjects. In normal person IL-10 level is 12.6 (8.5-16.7) pg/mL and the levels of TNF-α in normal person is 0-1.5 pg/mL because they are not produce. There was a positive correlation of TNF-α with IL-10 (r=0.332; p>0.05), and positive correlation between TNF-α and the rate of hemoglobin (r=0.002; p>0.05). IL-10 was correlated negatively with the rate of hemoglobin (r=-0.363; p<0.05).Conclusion: The results from this study conclude that TNF-α and IL-10 levels increase in asymptomatic malaria subjects.Keywords: asymptomatic malaria, TNF-α, IL-10, parasite, hemoglobin

Abstract

Background: Plant-phenolics and flavonoids, including gallic acid, quercetin and rutin, are considered as safe inhibitors for α-glucosidase. This study aimed to compare antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of gallic acid (GA), quercetin (QUE) and rutin (RUT).Materials and Methods: Pure compounds of GA, QUE, and RUT were used. Their antioxidant and inhibitory activity on α-glucosidase were investigated spectroscopically, including their kinetic analysis and interaction mechanism by docking simulation.Results: All the tested compounds (GA, QUE, and RUT) showed good antioxidant activity better than the standards ascorbic acid (AA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), with QUE showing the highest antioxidant activity based on 2,2-diphenyl1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Based on their reducing properties, the activities of the compounds follow the following order: AA > GA > BHT > QUE > RUT. Both GA and RUT induced a competitive type of inhibition, with activities stronger than acarbose (IC50 = 823 μg/mL), whereas QUE inhibited in a mixed type manner. The IC50 of GA, QUE, and RUT were 220.12, 65.52, and 224.55 μg/mL respectively. The results obtained from molecular docking indicate that all compounds have affinity in the active site pocket of α-glucosidase, with the hydrogen bond being the major force involved in each compound binding to the enzyme.Conclusion: In conclusion, QUE has better antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than GA and RUT. This work provides insights into the interactions between GA, QUE, and RUT and α-glucosidase.Keywords: docking, gallic acid, α-glucosidase, rutin, quercetin

Abstract

Reciprocal interaction between oral ectodermal epithelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived from the cranial neural crest starts the teeth development. The role of dental MSCs continues throughout life. The dental MSCs do not only play a role in tooth development but also in tooth homeostasis and repair. There are many kinds of dental MSCs, such as dental pulp stem cell (DPSC), stem cell from apical papilla (SCAP), stem cell from exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED), periodontal ligament stem cell (PDLSC) and stem cell from dental follicle (DFSC). Aligned with the proposed criteria by the International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT), dental MSCs are adherent cells and like other MSCs, dental tissue MSCs are capable of giving rise to cell lineages such as osteo/odontogenic, adipogenic, and neurogenic. Various surface antigens of dental MSCs were reported, however, mostly typical antigens suggested by ISCT were fulfilled. Surface antigens from each dental MSCs (DPSC, SCAP, SHED, PDLSC and DFSC) are being described in the current report.Keywords: dental stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, tissue regeneration, DPSC, SCAP, SHED, PDLSC, DFSC

Abstract

Obesity is a chronic, low degree systemic inflammatory status. Microarray examination shows a disturbance in the expression of cytokine, chemokine, complementary protein and half of the other acute phase components in obese patients. Adiponectin is the hormone that increases insulin sensitivity, while its level decreases under condition of fatty tissue enlargement that occurs in obesity. Excessive weight causes the adipocyte cells and adipose tissues produce various types of mediators. The inflammatory process is the main cause of metabolic diseases, and the main role of adipose tissue in the inflammatory process is determined by the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and anti-inflammatory mediators. Adiponectin has an important anti-inflammatory effect on obesity. Adiponectin has an important anti-inflammatory effect on obesity. Adiponectin works on macrophage and monocyte to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine and increase the expression of interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-1 receptor antagonists. Adiponectin reduces induction of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 endothelial adhesion by TNF-α or resistin. In obese patients, it is characterized by resistance to adiponectin alongside a decrease and the possibility of adiponectin loss in the receptor population in liver and muscles, leading to low adiponectin level.Keywords: adiponectin, obesity, inflammation
