Core Subject : Science,
The Indonesian Journal of Biotechnology (IJBiotech) is an open access, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of novel research in all aspects of biotechnology, with particular attention paid to the exploration and development of natural products derived from tropical—and especially Indonesian—biodiversity. IJBiotech is published biannually and accepts original research articles featuring well-designed studies with clearly analyzed and logically interpreted results. A strong preference is given to research that has the potential to make significant contributions to both the field of biotechnology and society in general.

Abstract

         The aims of  this study were to isolate and to screen actinomycetes associated with sea slug which have the ability to produce antimicrobial compound, especially against MDR strains. Actinomycetes were isolated from nudibranchs collected from Bandengan coastal waters and the Panjang island, Jepara, Central Java. Actinomycete isolates were assayed for their antimicrobial activity against MDR strains (MDR 6 E. coli, MDR 7 Enterobacter sp., MDR 13 Proteus sp., MDR 14 Staphylococcus sp.). The genetic diversity of the active isolates was analyzed by using repetitive DNA fingerprinting.  Antimicrobial activity was also performed on the  ethyl acetate bacterial extract.  The amplification of Polyketide Synthase-I (PKS-I) and Non-Ribosomal Peptide Synthetase (NRPS) genes was carried out to estimate the genetic potency of actinomycetes. The most active actinomycete isolate was sequenced based on 16S rDNA approach. General profile of antimicrobial substances was analyzed by using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). A total 27 isolates were obtained from nudibranchs Jorunna sp. and 12 isolates from Chromodoris sp.  Ten isolates exhibited antimicrobial activity. Five representative isolates were selected based on rep-PCR analysis.  Three ethyl acetate extracts exhibited antimicrobial activity against MDR 7, MDR 13, and MDR 14, except MDR 6. NPC 8 isolates significantly inhibited the growth of the tested strain   and amplified NRPS gene fragment. Molecular identification revealed that isolate NPC 8 closely related to Streptomyces sp with a high homology of 96%.

Abstract

Hedyotis corymbosa L. with ursolic acid as the main compound is one of the plants that has been used for traditional medicine including to cure breast cancer disease. The aim of this research is to examine the cytotoxic activity of rumput mutiara herb ethanolic extract (ERM) and its effect in combination with doxorubicin against MCF-7 breast cancer cell line as cell model of doxorubicin resistance. Hedyotis corymbosa L. herb powder extraction was done by maceration using ethanol 96% then the extract is detected for ursolic acid content. Cell viability assay of ERM, doxorubicin and  the combination of ERM and doxorubicin treatments were carried out by MTT assay to determine IC50 and CI (Combination Index). Cell cycle distribution was determined by flowcytometry. Apoptosis assay was performed by ethidum bromide-acridine orange DNA staining method. Investigation on Bcl-2 expression was determined by immunocytochemistry method. Thin Layer Chromatography of ERM had similar Rf with ursolic acid standard: 0,6. ERM and doxorubicin inhibited cell growth against MCF-7 with IC50  of 77 µg/mL and 349 nM (0,19 µg/mL) respectively. Combination of ERM and doxorubicin showed synergistic effect (CI 0.66-0.99). Combination of 25 ìg/mL ERM- 200 nM doxorubicin induced apoptosis and decreased Bcl-2 expression but showed no cell accumulation on cell cycle. Doxorubicin induced high cell accumulation in G2/M phase, but ERM at the concentration of 25 ìg/mL had a low effect in G1 phase, and ERM IC50 did not induce cell accumulation otherwise apoptosis. These results concluded that the apoptosis mechanism of combination doxorubicin-ERM is mediated by cell cycle arrest and non cell cycle arrest. Therefore ERM has a potential activity to be developed as co-chemotherapeutic agent.
