Abstract

The long-term exposure of doxorubicin (Dox) causes enhancement in MDR1 expression that leads tobreast cancer cell resistance. This protein become a serious problem in cancer treatment and also well-knownas negative prognostic factor in breast cancer malignancies. The new approach using natural chemopreventivesubstance was developed to inhibit this resistance progress. This study was aimed to investigate whether ethylacetate fraction of Gynura procumnens (FEG) can prevent chemoresistance through suppressing the MDR1 proteinexpression. MCF-7 cell was used as chemoresistance cell model. The MCF-7 cells were maintained with 100nM Dox-contained medium for five weeks. The chemoprevention effect of FEG was investigated by treatedMCF-7/Dox with sub-toxic concentration of FEG. The cytotoxic properties of MCF-7 cells were determinedusing MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) assay. Immunofluorescenceand western blotting analysis was performed to detect the MDR1 expression. MCF-7/Dox cells need higherconcentration for inhibiting cell growth, were compared with MCF-7, shown by IC50value. The MDR1 proteinlevel elevated after Dox exposure in time dependent manner. The FEG treatment decreased MDR-1 proteinlevel with dose dependent manner. FEG in combination with DOX potentiates the DOX effect on breast cancercell growth inhibition. The FEG prevents the chemoresistance development in breast cancer cell line, MCF-7induced by Dox through inhibiting MDR1 expression. The additional of FEG enhances Dox effect on cell deathinduction. Thus, FEG could be developed as co-chemotherapy agent for reverse multidrug resistance

Abstract

Receptor of advanced glycation endproduct (RAGE) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular complications, such as diabetic retinopathy. The interaction between the RAGE and advanced glycation end product (AGE) leads to oxidative stress and could result in cellular activation and infl ammation. The production of AGE occurs normally during aging but it increases in hyperglycemia condition. The objective of this research was to investigate the association between -429 T/C and -374 T/A polymorphisms in RAGE gene with the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) of type 2 diabetic patients in Javanese population. This was a case control study which consisted of 40 type 2 diabetic patients with DR as case subjects and 40 type 2 diabetic patients without DR (NDR) as control subjects. Genotyping of polymorphism was performed by PCR-RFLP. Chi-square test and odds ratio models were used to evaluate the association of both polymorphisms and DR risk and to examine 2-SNP haplotype of -429 T/C and -374 T/A polymorphisms in RAGE gene on DR. The genotype frequencies of -429 T/C polymorphism in RAGE gene in DR subjects were TT = 72.5% and TC/CC = 27.5%; while in NDR subjects were TT = 80% and TC/ CC = 20%, with p = 0.431. The allele frequencies of -429 T/C polymorphism in DR subjects were T = 83.7% and C= 16.3%, while in NDR subjects were T = 87.5% and C = 12.5%, with p = 0.499. The genotype frequencies of -374T/A polymorphism in RAGE gene in DR subjects were TT = 67.5%, TA = 32.5% while in NDR subjects were TT =82.5%, TA = 17.5%, with p = 0.121. In DR subjects, the frequencies of T and A were 83.7% and16.3%, while in NDR subjects the frequencies of T and A were 91.2 % and 8.8%, with p = 0.151. Odds ratios of -429 T/C polymorphism were 1.52 (95% CI = 0.54 – 4.29) for TC/CC genotype and 1.358 (95% CI = 0.56 – 3.31) for C allele. Odds ratios of -374 T/A polymorphism were 2.27 (95% CI = 0.79 – 6.49) for TA genotype and 2.02 (95% CI = 0.76 – 5.37) for A allele. χ2-value for 2-SNP haplotype was p = 0.127. The -374 T/A polymorphism in RAGE gene was a stronger risk factor of DR than -429 T/C polymorphism in RAGE gene. There were not signifi cantly different of frequencies of genotypes, allele, and two-SNP haplotype of -429 T/C and -374 T/A polymorphisms in RAGE gene between DR subjects and NDR subjects.

Abstract

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) can actually withstand in dry or drought condition better than other crops,therefore it can be grown at different agroclimatic conditions and its product can be used for different purposessuch as food, feed and industrial raw material. However at severe condition, the productivity will also dropdrastically. The aim of this research was to identify RAPD marker linked to the drought tolerance. In thisresearch, varieties of sorghum used as research materials were Durra, Zhengzu, the mutants of Durra andZhengzu (from 300 Gy gamma radiation) B-100 and Zh-30, and the F2 seeds from Zh-30 x B-100 and B-100 xZh-30. Drought screening was carried out using 0.3 % KI during sorghum vegetative stage. DNA extractionwas done using a modified CTAB method. PCR was carried out for RAPD analysis. PCR amplification productswere scored and analyzed using SAS program. The result showed that potassium iodide can be used fordrought screening during the vegetative stage and regression analysis using the logistic method can be usedto identify RAPD markers that is linked to drought tolerance in sorghum. The logistic analysis showed thatband A8-480 was linked to drought tolerance in sorghum.

Abstract

Recently, the fatty acid ethyl ester has been synthesized in place of fatty acid methyl ester since ethanol has been more renewable. In this research, oleic acid ethyl ester (OAEE) was synthesized using germinated jatropha seeds (Jatropha curcas.L) and rice bran (Oryza sativa) as source of lipase. The objective of the research was to optimize the synthesis conditions using Response Surface Methodology. Factors, such as crude enzyme concentration, molar ratio of oleic acid to ethanol, and the reaction time, were evaluated. The results show that lipase from germinated jatropha seeds had the hydrolitic and esterifi cation activity about 6.73 U/g and 298.07 U/g, respectively. Lipase from rice bran had the hydrolitic and esterifi cation activity about 10.57 U/g and 324.03 U/g, respectively. The optimum conditions of esterifi cation reaction using germinated jatropha seed lipase as biocatalyst were crude enzyme concentration of 0.31 g/ml, molar ratio of oleic acid to ethanol of 1 : 1.81, and reaction time of 50.9 min. The optimum conditions of esterifi cation reaction using rice bran lipase were crude enzyme concentration of 0.29 g/ml, molar ratio of oleic acid to ethanol of 1 : 2.05, and reaction time of 58.61 min. The obtained amounts of OAEE were 810.77 μmole and 626.92 μmole for lipases from rice bran and germinated jatropha seed, respectively.

Abstract

The effect of enrichment bias on the diversity of Dibenzofuran (DBF)-degrading bacteria recovered from soil was evaluated by direct plating, plating after in-soil adaptation, and plating after batch culture enrichment. Among colonies appeared on Bushnell Haas agar with DBF as the sole carbon source, 119 colonies (49, 38, and 32 from direct plating, plating after in-soil adaptation, and plating after batch culture enrichment, respectively) were arbitrarily selected based on the appearance of the colonies. Total DNA were then extracted from the rest of the colonies and analyzed for their diversity using Ribosomal Intergenic Spacer Analysis (RISA). Number of DNA bands obtained from direct plating was higher than the ones obtained after in-soil enrichment and batch culture enrichment. The RISA bands obtained from direct plating were also found to be distributed more evenly than the ones obtained after in-soil enrichment and batch culture enrichment. Dominant bands were observed on RISA from samples obtained after in-soil enrichment and batch culture enrichment. Out of 119, only 9 isolates were consistently able to grow on Bushnell-Haas broth with DBF as the sole carbon source as indicated by broth turbidity. All of the isolates were obtained from soil samples which were enriched in a batch culture. Some of the isolates were able to degrade more then 80 % DBF in the minimal medium.
