Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease of the colon and rectum. In Indonesia, CRC has the fourth highest cancer incidence, with about 30,000 new cases and causing around 16,000 deaths per year. Numerous studies have shown the benefits of using simvastatin and Annona muricata (A. muricata) leaf extract to promote cytotoxic effects in CRC cells. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effects and the possible molecular mechanisms of actions used by simvastatin and A. muricata leaf extract to exert anti-cancer effects in CRC cells. We synthesized published studies on the effect of simvastatin and A. muricata leaf extract in in vitro and in vivo CRC studies, and highlighted the potential application of simvastatin and A. muricata leaf extract in combination with other anti-cancer treatments. This systematic review was written in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Simvastatin and A. muricata leaf extract were shown to suppress CRC cell growth and proliferation and generate a synergistic effect when combined with other anti-cancer treatments. Several possible mechanisms of actions of simvastatin include bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway and mevalonate pathway activation, ERKs inactivation, and regulation of the yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), while for A. muricata leaf extract, possible mechanisms of actions include intrinsic apoptosis pathway activation, cytochrome c-mediated apoptosis, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, and programmed cell death initiation. Further experimental evidence is needed to determine the specific mechanisms on how simvastatin and A. muricata leaf extract induce anti-cancer effects against CRC cells.

Abstract

Patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) show symptoms of joint affiliations. Focusing on the epigenetic factors leading to RA, the expression of several miRNAs are assumed to be one of the components influencing the cause of RA. Consequently, the increased expression of miR-223 is hypothesized to be involved in the pathogenesis of RA. This study aims to analyze the increased expression of miR-223 of RA patients in comparison with the normal and healthy representatives. Five methods from five different studies were involved in this review. The RNA was first isolated from heparinized venous blood or peripheral blood of RA patients and healthy controls. Reverse transcription was done to convert isolated RNA into cDNA and the expression of miR-223 was then measured using real-time PCR. The expression of miR-223 had exhibited a considerable increase in its concentration on RA patients when compared to healthy controls. Besides, the heightened concentration is taken upon consideration as miR-223 has a role in the regulation of the immune system and inflammatory responses.

Abstract

Xylanase is a hydrolytic enzyme produced by fungi and bacteria utilized in various industrial applications such as food, biobleaching, animal feed, and pharmaceuticals. Due to its wide variety of applications, xylanase's large-scale industrial production has gained researchers' interest. Many factors and methods affect fungal xylanase's production in both upstream and downstream processing stages. The upstream production methods used are submerged fermentation (SmF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF), where SmF involves the usage of liquid substrates, while the SSF applies solid substrates to inoculate the microbes. The downstream processing of fungal xylanase includes extraction, purification, and formulation. The extraction methods used to extract fungal xylanase are filtration and solvent extraction. Meanwhile, the purification methods include ultrafiltration, precipitation, chromatography, Aqueous Two-Phase System (ATPS), and Aqueous Two-Phase Affinity Partitioning (ATPAP). The formulation of xylanase product is obtained in either liquid from the extraction-purification results, which can be converted to powder form using technologies such as spray drying to increase storage life. Moreover, immobilization of xylanase with nanoparticles of SiO2 could produce reusable xylanase enzymes. Several future studies have also been suggested. This review aims to explain the upstream and downstream processes of fungal xylanase production as well as the factors that affect those processes.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease mainly caused by Mycobacteria tuberculosis. It affects the respiratory system and may spread to the other organ. Due to the nature of the bacteria, infection of this species may cause a long-term TB, causing it a challenge for a full clearance. The disease has existed throughout the history, and BCG vaccine has been developed to control the spreading. Most developed countries have successfully eradicated TB. However, Indonesia is currently ranked second place for this disease, making it as a pressing matter to eradicate. This study is conducted to investigate and gather deep insights about the problems in eradicating TB in Indonesia. Identify part of the biodesign method is employed in the study to elucidate the complexity of healthcare issue of TB in Indonesia. The study discovered that there are three pillars’ sectors need to be addressed: education, healthcare facilities and services, and government. For successful eradication, synergistic approach to all pillars at the same time are essential. The needs statements formulated in this study could be the stem of innovation in TB.

Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an extracellular homopolymer produced by certain species of bacteria. It has demonstrated the potential as an alternative to plant cellulose with more appealing features such as unique nanostructure, high porosity, high crystallization index, high tensile strength, high water holding capacity, and a high degree of polymerization. These attributes facilitate BC utilization in various applications, ranging from the food industry, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, medical field, waste treatment, textile, and paper industry. Considering the advantages and wide range of applications, it is necessary to explore and improve the current industrial production to achieve a higher yield at a lower cost. This review article summarizes the BC properties and characteristics as well as its application in different fields. Furthermore, the potential of agricultural waste molasses for low-cost BC production is also discussed.
