Abstract

Hadirnya fenol yang melebihi batas ambang ke dalam ekosistem perairan dapat menjadi stresor kimia bagi organisme akuatik, termasuk juga bagi ekosistem muara oleh karena muara (estuaria) merupakan daerah pertemuan antara air tawar dari perairan sungai dan air laut sehingga berpotensi mengandung bahan kimia antropogenik. Kepiting bakau (Scylla spp.) memiliki siklus hidup yang sebagian besar berada pada ekosistem mangrove dan umum digunakan dalam studi ekotoksisitas. Total Haemocyte Count (THC) dan histologi organ insang dapat menginformasikan perubahan histologi akibat stressor oleh karena paparan toksik, terutama fenol. Perlakuan sublethal fenol dengan konsentrasi yang berbeda  terhadap kepiting bakau (Scylla serata) pada hari ke-1, hari ke-3, hari ke-5 dan hari ke-8 tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan (p> 0,05) (Lampiran) terhadap rata-rata Total Haemocyte Count (THC). Namun pada hari ke-7 menunjukkan penurunan jumlah THC pada tiap perlakuan bila dibandingkan dengan kontrol (tanpa perlakuan). Perubahan histologi yang terjadi meningkat sebanding dengan konsentrasi fenol yang diperlakukan terhadap kepiting bakau (S. serata). Perubahan histologi yang terjadi adalah kerusakan struktur dari lamela insang (l) dan bagian terluar sinus lamela atau outer lamellar sinuses (ols) yang meliputi infiltrasi hemosit, hiperplasia maupun nekrosis.Kata Kunci : fenol, hepatopankreas, kepiting bakau.

Abstract

The aims of this research were to evaluate the effect of explant types and several kinetin concentrations on in vitro induction and growth of callus vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash). Crown and tiller of vetiver were cultured on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) media supplemented with combination of 2,4-D 0.75 ppm and several kinetin concentrations (0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.75, and 1) ppm. The induction and growth of callus were influenced by type of explant and concentration of kinetin. Formation and growth of callus on tiller explant were faster than crown explant. Callus on tiller explant were formed one week after culture, while callus from crown explant were formed at four weeks after culture. Callus growth on tiller explant also was better than crown explant. Eight weeks after culture, callus fresh weight from tiller explant was 0.35 ± 0.09 g, while callus fresh weight from crown explant was only 0.16 ± 0.08 g. The addition of kinetin in the medium combined with 2,4-D was able to increase callus growth and the optimum concentration of kinetin used was 0.5 ppm. The addition of kinetin more than 0.5 ppm in the medium decreased the callus fresh weight.Keywords: callus, crown, in vitro culture, tiller, Vetiveria zizanioides.

Abstract

The carcinogenic compounds such as DMBA known for having the ability to promote the DNA damage that affects the growth regulator genes. Therefore, uncontrolled cell growth will occur and change the immune system. Elephantopus scaber extract is considered as an alternative way of handling breast cancer since it capable to affect the work of the immune system. Hence, this study aims to determine the effect of E. scaber extract on quantitative changes of CD4+, CD8+ T cells and proinflammatory cytokines CD4+IFNγ+ and CD4+TNF-α+ after induction of DMBA and estrogen. In vivo experiments were carried out by using 5-6 weeks old of female mice BALB/c strain. The extract of E. scaber leaf powder was obtained from Material Medica Batu, Malang. The experimental animals were divided into five groups such as negative control group (K-), positive control group (K+), mice treated with E. scaber extract for a week (group 1), mice treated with E. scaber extract for 2 weeks (group 2), and mice treated with E. scaber extract for 3 weeks (group 3). Induction of DMBA and estrogen was conducted by injection of DMBA (7.12 dimetylbenz (α) anthracene) 0.56 mg.kgBW-1 and estradiol hormone 0.0504 mg.kgBW-1. Mice were treated with E. scaber extract with a dose of 50 mg.kgBW-1. Lymphocytes were isolated from spleen and observed the CD4+, CD8+ T cells and proinflammatory cytokines CD4+IFN-γ+ and CD4+TNFα+ T cells through flow cytometry analysis. One-way ANOVA (p <0.05) and SPSS were used to analyze this data. The results showed that the induction of DMBA and estradiol hormone affected mice fur loss. It also decreased the immune system by lowering the number of CD4 and CD8 T cells. However, E. scaber extracts increased the number of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α. Furthermore, the DMBA and estradiol induction also promoted the number of CD4+IFN-γ+ in the first week, but decreased the number of CD4+IFN-γ+ at weeks 2 and 3, then increase the number of CD4+IFN-γ+. So, the treatment of E. scaber extracts demonstrated the ability to restore the homeostasis of the immune system in the first and second weeks.  Keywords: CD4+, CD8+, DMBA, estrogen, E.scaber, IFN-γ+, TNF-α+

Abstract

Madura strait known as the second busiest shipping lanes in Indonesia. Human activities on the environment can influence the marine ecosystem derived from the household, fishery processing and capture fisheries. It can pollute coastal environments, one of which is heavy metal exposure such as Cd, Hg, Ca, As and Pb. These metals are greatly impacting the life of sea biota. The objective of this research, therefore, is to examine the hepatopancreas damage rate of shrimp Neocallichirus karumba due to the exposure of heavy metal Pb in Madura Strait. Method of research is by analyzing Pb content in water, sediment and shrimp by taking sample from 3 different stations. Hepatopancreas damage is then analyzed with SEM-EDX. Result of research indicates that at Station A, Pb pollution in water is the biggest and counted for 0.25 ppm, while those in sediment and shrimp are 5.85 ppm and 1.24 ppm. At Station B, Pb pollution in water is 0.19 ppm, whereas that in sediment is 5.51 ppm, but that in shrimp is 1.04 ppm. At Station C, Pb pollution in water counts for 0.18 ppm, and in sediment, it stands for 5.5 ppm but 0.02 ppm for shrimp. Result of analysis against hepatopancreas damage is explained as follows. At Station A, vacuolization is 20 % and Pb content in organ is 0.520 ppm. At Station B, the parameters are 10% and 0.196ppm. At Station C, it includes 15% and 0.173ppm. Organ damage is straightforwardly related to Pb content in water and sediment. Shrimp age is quite influential to the percentage of organ damage.Keywords: Heavy metal Pb pollution, hepatopancreas organ damage, Madura Strait, N. karumba shrimp.

Abstract

This experiment was aimed to determine the bioactivity of ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) against the changes in the quantity of CD4+CD25+ and B220+ lymphocytes and determine the optimal dose of EEP to increase the number of CD4+CD25+ and B220+ cells in Balb/c mice. Balb/c mice were divided into four treatment groups: control treatment, treatments of EEP at a dose of 50 mg.kg-1, 100 mg.kg-1, and 200 mg.kg-1 body weight of mice. All mice were dissected after two weeks post treatment. Profiles of lymphocytes from the spleen expressing CD4+CD25+ and B220+ cells were analyzed by flowcytometry using CellQuest software. Data was analyzed by Kruskall Wallis and Mann Whitney statistical test with P<0.05 using SPSS 16.0 for Windows. The results showed that the treatment of dose of 50 mg.kg-1 of EEP can increase relative number of CD4+CD25+ cells significantly, but those cells decrease significantly when we apply the dose of 100 and 200 mg.kg-1. The relative number of B220+ cells increase in the dose of 50 and 200 mg.kg-1 and decrease in the dose of 100 mg.kg-1 compared to the control. This experiment suggest that EEP has bioactivity to modulate the quantity of CD4+CD25+ and B220+ in dependent manner.Keywords: B220+, CD4+CD25+, lymphocyte, propolis

Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the effect of Pb and Cd elicitors on root growth and essential oil content of vetiver oil on the root culture of vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides L. Nash). Roots were induced by culturing of the shoot on MS media supplemented with 0.1 mg.L-1 kinetin and 7 mg.L-1 NAA. Elicitation was done by culturing roots on MS media with 0.1 mg.L-1 kinetin and 7 mg.L-1 NAA + 0.1 mM Pb or Cd. Roots then observed for fresh weight, dry weight, number, and root length, and vetiver oil contents were analyzed using GC-MS. The addition of Pb and Cd heavy metal elicitor affected the formation and the content of vetiver oil compounds of root culture. Pb elicitor increased the number of roots, while Cd elicitor increased root length. However, the addition of Pb and Cd elicitor on culture media decreased the fresh weight and root dry weight. Fifty eight vetiver oil compounds in adventitious roots of vetiver plants were identified. The main compounds of vetiver oil in roots culture were Khusimone (6.94%), Khusimol (6.05%), Khusimene (4.85%), α Vetivone (3.70%), β Vetivone (3, 53%), Vetiverol (3.22%), Prezizaene (2.35%), and Zizaene (1.91%). Elicitation with Pb and Cd increased the composition of the main compounds of vetiver oil. Cd elicitor increased the composition of the main compound vetiver oil higher than the Pb elicitor. Keywords: adventives root, elicitor, in vitro, Pb and Cd, vetiver oil
