Abstract

Cancer deaths increase every year, including in Indonesia. The low selectivity of chemotherapy agents and the resistance of cancer cells against chemotherapy agents is the main cause of chemotherapy treatment failure. It causes serious side effects in sufferers. Beside that, plants produce secondary metabolites which are being investigated for the anticancer activity that is used as new clinical drugs. Therefore we need research that uses plants as co-chemotherapy agents. Melinjo seeds (Gnetum gnemon L.) contain gnetin C has the potential to apoptosis WiDr colon cancer cells. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of Ethanol Fraction Melinjo Seed (EFMS) as a co-chemotherapy agent for colon cancer. The sample was maceration using 70% ethanol and fractionated with ethanol. Phytochemical screening with thin layer chromatography (TLC)-Densitometry, antioxidant test used the DPPH, while the cytotoxic activity of WiDr colon cancer cells and their combination with 5-Fluorouracil chemotherapy agent using the 3-(4,-5-dimethylthiazo-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) Assay, and also in silico test used molecular docking between gnetin C on EFMS and IKK and COX-2 proteins with the 5-FU. The results showed that EFMS contains gnetin C based on Rf value, has weak antioxidant activity with IC50 1227 μg/mL, weak cytotoxic activity in WiDr colon cancer cells with IC50 681 μg/mL and has combined activity synergistic with 5-Fluorouracil. Molecular docking showed gnetin C strong binding affinity against IKK and COX-2 proteins with scores -12.2 kcal/mol and -9.6 kcal/mol. The result concludes that EFMS has the potential to inhibit the development of cancer cells, especially WiDr colon cancer cells.Keywords: Gnetum gnemon L., Colon Cancer, Cytotoxic, Molecular docking, WiDr.

Abstract

The cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) is a multiligand receptor protein that plays a role in lipid metabolism. Its biological functions involve lipid uptake, immune recognition, inflammation, molecular adhesion, and tumor metastasis. Soluble CD36 (sCD36) is the circulating form of CD36 in plasma. Research on the role of sCD36 in breast cancer is limited. This study aimed to investigate sCD36 concentration and evaluate the correlation between sCD36 concentration and BMI in breast cancer patients. This is a multi-center cross-sectional study done from June 2018 to February 2019 in Indonesia. Consecutive sampling was done for women with invasive breast cancer aged 18-70. Patients with locoregional recurrences, multiple comorbidities, diabetes, stroke, or liver impairment were excluded. Patients were grouped based on their BMI into normo-weight and overweight/obese. Plasma sCD36 was analyzed using Bioassay Laboratory™ ELISA. The correlation between plasma sCD36 and the patient's characteristics (metastasis status and molecular subtype) were then analyzed. A total of 76 patients were enrolled, 36 of whom were categorized into the overweight/obese group and 40 of them in the normo-weight. Plasma levels of sCD36 in breast cancer patients were higher than controls at 0.24±0.163 ng/mL and 0.46±0.175 ng/mL, respectively (p=0.006). However, no difference in plasma sCD36 levels was found between the overweight/obese group and the normo-weight breast cancer subjects (p>0.05). Plasma sCD36 increased significantly in breast cancer patients, but no significant difference was found based on body mass index. Further research is needed to determine the role of sCD36 in determining clinical outcomes and prognosis in breast cancer patients.Keywords: Soluble CD36, body mass index, breast cancer, indonesia.

Abstract

Morusin, an active constituent of the mulberry plant (Morus alba), exhibits inhibitory effects on several types of cancer cells in vitro, including breast cancer. This study aimed to identify potential target proteins of morusin, investigate the binding energy, and explore type of interactions between morusin and the target protein. Morusin target was searched using the PubMed, STITCH, STRING, and Cytoscape databases. Subsequently, the obtained morusin target protein data underwent processing using Autodock Tools and DS BIOVIA to facilate the simulation of molecular docking between morusin and the target protein. The study identified EGFR, SRC, and MAPK1 as potential targets for morusin. Docking simulations revealed that both EGFR and SRC represent viable targets for morusin, as their binding energies were lower than those of the native ligand and lapatinib. Specifically, the bond energies at EGFR were -9.6, -7.5, and -9.2 kcal/mol for morusin, the native ligand, and lapatinib, respectively. Similarly, at SRC, the corresponding bond energies were -8.2, -6.4, and -5.3 kcal/mol. Morusin demonstrated binding interactions with Leu694, Val702, Leu820, Ala719, Leu768, and Lys721 at the active site of EGFR, and with Lys295 and Gly344 at the binding active sites of SRC. Consequently, morusin has the potential to suppress cancer cell growth by targeting EGFR and SRC.Keywords: cancer cells, EGFR and SRC as targets, molecular docking, morusin, mulberry plant.

Abstract

The incidence of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) in the world is approximately 1.5 cases per 100,000 individuals. The level of resistance to CML treatment, imatinib in Indonesia is relatively high compared to Europe. Culturing CML cells can be used as a model for the determination of pathogenesis of CML, drug efficacy testing, and drug resistance testing. Studies using CML patients’ cells to be cultured in vitro and the methods used are rarely varied. This study aims to examine the distribution and viability of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from imatinib-resistant CML patients, expected to be a reference for mononuclear cell cultures from CML patients. This study was conducted in June-August 2019 using quantitative descriptive methods. The sample was mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood of three imatinib-resistant CML patients at the Hemato-Oncology Polyclinic of Hasan Sadikin Hospital, each of which was cultured in vitro using RPMI 1640 for 28 days. Distribution were seen using Giemsa staining, while viability was calculated using trypan blue. Data is processed using Microsoft Excel 2013 and Graphpad. Cell viability decreased during culture. Cell distribution had a different development pattern. Blast cells, eosinophils and basophils had presentation of between 0-5%. The percentage of lymphocyte changed between 11-31%. The percentage of neutrophil changed between 16-41%. The percentage of immature cells decreased, whereas the percentage of monocyte increased. In conclusion, cell viability decreases during the culture. Distribution of cells similar to the initial condition lasted until the 7th day and in the final phase it was only dominated by monocytes.Keywords: myeloid leukemia, chronic, cell culture, in vitro, peripheral blood mononuclear cell, cell viability.

Abstract

The prevalence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is ranked third among all cancer types in both men and women, highlighting the urgency for drug exploration. Zerumbone and its derivatives have gained attention for their ability to inhibit angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis and have been tested for their efficacy against various cancer cells. This study aimed to investigate the potential targets and mechanism of action of zerumbone derivatives in colon cancer invasion and migration. Bioinformatic analysis was conducted using STITCH and STRING to identify potential target genes, and molecular docking was used to search for anticancer candidates from 20 zerumbone derivatives. The results revealed that six proteins were targeted by zerumbone derivatives, including XIAPBIR3 (1TFT), AKT1 (3O96), JAK2 (6VGL), HASP90AA (2XJX), MDM2 (4MDN), and XIAPBIR2 (4KJU). Compound 4 was found to have a lower binding energy than zerumbone as well as AZD5363 (pan-Akt inhibitor) when interacting with the protein target AKT1. This makes it the most promising candidate among the zerumbone derivatives for treating colorectal cancer. Further development, such as the addition of an amine functional group, is expected to improve the potency of this molecule through the formation of hydrogen bonds and other interactions with lower bond energy.Keywords: Bioinformatic, molecular docking, zerumbone derivatives, colorectal cancer.

Abstract

Cambodian leaves are suspected to contain stigma sterol which may target Cyclo-Oxygenase-2 (COX-2) or Estrogen Receptor (ER) to contribute to its cytotoxic activity on breast cancer cells. This study aimed to determine the potential of Cambodian leaf compounds and extracts as chemopreventive agents for luminal breast cancer with a molecular target of COX-2. Ethanol was used to extract the active compound of Cambodian leaves. The study on chemical activity against COX-2 employed molecular docking with Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) and the cytotoxic property of Cambodian leaf extract (CLE) on T47D was determined using the trypan blue exclusion method. The extraction yielded as 4.87% w/w CLE. Thin layer chromatography showed that Cambodian leaves contain sterol. Molecular docking confirmed that several sterol compounds have greater affinity to COX-2 than native ligands indicating that they are potent as COX-2 inhibitors. They are Stigmast-7-en-3-ol, Lupeol Acetate, and Lupeol carboxylic acid with docking scores of -14.3874, -13.8098, and -14.1045 kcal/mol respectively. The CLE exhibited cytotoxic activity on T47D cells with an IC50 value of 18 μg/mL. Therefore, CLE has a potential effect as a chemopreventive agent for breast cancer and potentially as a COX-2 inhibitor.Keywords: Cambodian leaf extract, breast cancer, COX-2 inhibitor, chemopreventive.

Abstract

Cervical cancer maintains its second-place ranking for Indonesia's highest number of cancer cases. In 2021, there were 36,633 cases of cervical cancer in Indonesia, with a rising death rate. Commonly, chemotherapy is used to treat cervical cancer and can improve the survival chances of patients, but these therapies imply increased toxicity. Biflavonoid group compounds like amentoflavone and 3,8-Biapigenin have the potential to act as anticancer agents by modulating multiple signaling pathways. This study aims to determine the cervical anticancer potential of amentoflavone and 3,8-Biapigenin based on in silico study. Prediction of anticancer activity in silico using Prediction of Activity Spectra for Active Substances (PASS) online, followed by target protein tracing using STITCH-STRING, then receptor analysis test using Ramachandran plot. A molecular docking test was conducted to determine the binding affinity of the compound with the receptor. Based on the online PASS, the compounds as thought to have low cervical anticancer potential if tested on a laboratory scale. STAT3, EP300, CYP1A1, and AKR1C1 proteins used in this study have met the requirements of a suitable receptor for molecular docking test. The best binding affinity was obtained at the interaction of amentoflavone and STAT3 with a better docking score (-9.3 kcal/mol) than doxorubicin (-7.1 kcal/mol). Overall, the results suggest biflavonoid compounds have the potential to be developed as a chemopreventive agent for cervical cancer.Keywords: bioinformatics, molecular docking, amentoflavone, 3,8-Biapigenin, cervical cancer protein.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death after breast cancer. HPV infection is the main cause of cervical cancer which will cause overexpression of E6 oncoprotein. E6 oncogene can cause cancer cells to continue to proliferate. Long pepper fruit (Piper retrofractum Vahl.) has antioxidant activity and contains piperine compounds that have anticancer activity. This study aims to assess the potential of long pepper fruit extract as a chemopreventive agent for cervical cancer. The research method was conducted by in silico assay with network pharmacology and molecular docking analysis. We found five hub genes including HSP90AA1, SRC, AKT1, STAT3, and PIK3CA. KEGG analysis showed that the most dominant signaling pathways involved are neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, Calcium signaling pathway, and cAMP signaling pathway. Through molecular docking, it was found that long pepper fruit has the potential to inhibit the E6 oncogene of HPV. Based on the research results, long pepper fruit extract may has the potential as a chemoprevention agent for cervical cancer.Keywords: Cervical cancer, oncoprotein HPV16-E6, Piper retrofractum Vahl., molecular docking, network pharmacology.
