Abstract

Full‐thickness wound healing is a complex process requiring a well‐orchestrated mechanism of various factors, including cytokines, particularly interleukin (IL)‐10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β. IL‐10 and TGF‐β act as robust anti‐inflammatory cytokines in accelerating the wound healing process by regulating myofibroblasts. Hypoxic mesenchymal stem cell‐conditioned medium (hypMSC‐CM) containing cytokines potentially contribute to accelerate wound repair without scarring through the paracrine mechanism. This study aims to observe the role of hypMSC‐CM in controlling TGF‐β and IL‐10 levels to accelerate full‐thickness wound repair and regeneration. A total of 24 male Wistar rats were used in this study. Six healthy rats as a sham group and 18 rats were created as full‐thickness‐wound animal models using a 6 mm punch biopsy. The animals were randomly assigned into three groups (n = 6) consisting of two treatment groups treated with hypMSC‐CM at a low dose (200 µL hypMSC‐CM with 2 g water‐based gel added) and a high dose (400 µL hypMSC‐CM with 2 g water‐based gel added) and a control group (2 g water‐based gel only). The IL‐10 and TGF‐β levels were examined by ELISA. The results showed a significant increase in IL‐10 levels on day 3 after hypMSC‐CM treatment, followed by a decrease in platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) levels on days 6 and 9. In line with this finding, the TGF‐β levels also increased significantly on day 3 and then linearly decreased on days 6 and 9. HypMSC‐CM administra‐ tion may thus promote wound healing acceleration by controlling IL‐10 and TGF‐β levels in a full‐thickness‐wound rat model.

Abstract

Copper pollution in Cisadane is a serious environmental issue that needs to be resolved immediately due to its negative impacts on river ecosystems. Bioremediation utilising indigenous bacteria offers excellent potential to restore copper‐contaminated river water. This study aimed to obtain indigenous copper‐resistant bacteria isolated from the Cisadane River as copper bioremediation agents. Bacteria from Cisadane River water samples were isolated by the spread plate method on Luria Bertani medium containing 3 mM CuSO4. Resistance was determined based on the minimum inhibitory concentration value, while copper concentration was measured using an atomic absorption spec‐ trophotometer. The results presented a total of 13 bacterial isolates with a minimum inhibitory concentration of up to 8 mM CuSO4. Sequence alignment analysis was performed on three selected copper‐resistant bacteria, i.e. isolate IrCis1, IrCis4 and IrCis13, which were identified as Pantoea agglomerans, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Shigella flexneri based on 16S rRNA, respectively. Each isolate accumulated copper at 1.19 mg, 1.34 mg and 0.92 mg/g DW of cells, with copper biosorption potentials of 73.74%, 70.17% and 67.73%, respectively. In conclusion, P. agglomerans strain IrCis1, K. pneu‐ moniae strain IrCis4 and S. flexneri strain IrCis5 isolated from the Cisadane River can be used as copper bioremediation agents.

Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of administering galangal essential oil (EO) on the abundance of rumen bacteria using the 16s rRNA method. The treatments included a control (no EO addition), galangal EO (30, 60, 120 µL), and cineole (5 µL). The treatments were assessed using a 48‐hour in vitro batch culture of rumen fluid containing a 60:40 ratio of forage to concentrate. For amplification of the prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) in region V4, 16s rRNA primer 5’GTGCCAGCMGCCGCGTAA, GGACTACHVGGGTWTCTAAT3’ was employed. The data for rumen microbial abundance were analysed descriptively, while the data for rumen microbial diversity were obtained from the report on the Next Generation Sequencing Method. The microbial composition of each sample was tested for operational taxonomic units (OTUs) with a 97% identity rate on a valid label. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing yielded a total of 3,977 OTUs. Adding galangal and cineole EOs resulted in the same variation of the Shannon index. The population index (chao1 index) was highest when 60 µL of galangal EO was added, compared to 30 and 120 µL of galangal EO and cineole. In addition, providing 60 µL of galangal EO decreased the abundance of Prevotella ruminicola compared to the control and cineole doses. The addition of galangal EO also led to a decline in the number of Methanobacteriales. The population of the fibre‐degrading bacteria group (Ruminococcus albus and Ruminococcus flavefaciens) was higher in a dose of galangal EO than the control and cineole. Therefore, it can be concluded that the effective dose of galangal EO, i.e. 60 µL/300 mg (DM feed) in vitro, can reduce the abundance of Prevotella bacteria and methanogens.

Abstract

Andrographolide has been shown to have a pharmacological effect as an antidiabetic. Nevertheless, the comprehensive mechanism of action has yet to be determined. Andrographolide is a primary component of the sambiloto herb (Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Nees), in which a simple isolation process can obtain high yields. This study aimed to explain the anti‐diabetic effect of andrographolide compared to pioglitazone (a positive control) on glucose uptake by measuring the expression levels of peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT‐4) genes in 3T3‐LI mouse adipocytes as an in vitro model. The differentiation of mature adipocytes from 3T3‐L1 fibroblasts was induced with 3‐isobutyl‐1‐methylxanthine, dexamethasone, and insulin. Andrographolide was provided through direct isolation from A. paniculata herbs. The gene expression was detected using the reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR). Pioglitazone and andrographolide significantly increased glucose uptake capability. Andrographolide was able to increase the mRNA levels of PPARγ and GLUT‐4 compared to pioglitazone with the best concentration at 5.6 µM. In conclusion, andrographolide can improve glucose uptake by increasing mRNA levels of PPARγ and GLUT‐4 that encodes protein, which are key factors for glucose homeostasis. Therefore, this finding further establishes the potency of andrographolide from A. paniculata as an antidiabetic.

Abstract

Amylases are considered the most essential enzymes in biotechnology since they are widely utilized in the textile, food processing, and detergent industries. It is necessary to explore extracellular enzymatic activity in several microorganisms to discover a new potential application from amylases. In a previous study, thermophilic bacteria Geobacillus sp. DS3 isolated from Sikidang Crater, Dieng Plateau, Central Java, Indonesia showed amylase activity in starch medium at 70 °C. This study aimed to purify and characterize the thermostable alpha‐amylase from Geobacillus sp. DS3. The alpha‐amylase was produced and purified using ammonium sulfate and DEAE Sephadex A‐25 column. The enzyme activity was determined using the 3,5‐dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. Geobacillus sp. DS3 optimally produced the alpha‐amylase at 60 °C for 15 h. The alpha‐amylase exhibited high enzymatic activity in 40–60% saturated ammonium sulfate extract. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 58 kDa. The thermostable alpha‐amylase showed activity at the optimum temperature of 50 °C in 200 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 7.0. The enzyme was inhibited by EDTA, PMSF, 2‐ME, and mostly by HgCl2. The Km and Vmax of the pure enzyme were 235.43 mM and 1428.57 U/mL, respectively. The result suggested that the purified thermostable alpha‐amylase from Geobacillus sp. DS3 offers potential application in areas of the food industry, such as the bakery industry.

Abstract

Hairy roots are widely known as a biological system for the production of highly diverse biomolecules. β‐carotene – a precursor for vitamin A – is known to be an anti‐oxidant and anti‐gastric cancer and protection agent against cardiovascular disease, heart disease and stroke. β‐carotene has been chemically synthesised and consumed by humans. However, the chemical process often produces a by‐product that may be harmful to human health. Therefore, this study established a protocol to induce hairy roots (HRs) from a Vietnamese carrot variety and produce natural β‐carotene. The Rhizobium rhizogenes ATCC15834 harbouring Ri plasmid and a Vietnamese carrot variety were used as materials for genetic transformation and HR induction studies. The result showed that approximately 50 HR lines were obtained. Culture medium supplemented with 30 mg/L of sucrose that gave the highest biomass of HR was shown in carrot HR line 30, which had a doubling time of 6.5 days. The highest content of β‐carotene extraction, at 128 mg/100g hairy roots, was achieved with a ratio volume (v/v) of 2‐propanol and plant samples of 20:1, followed by two hours’ incubation with 2‐propanol at 60 °C. Our study reveals a highly efficient protocol for Vietnamese carrot hairy root establishment and multiplication. A very efficient protocol for β‐carotene extraction from the hairy root was established to produce natural β‐carotene that achieves the same β‐carotene quantity as that produced by normal roots. This study provides new insight into the production of high‐content and natural β‐carotene for therapeutic application.

Abstract

Many earlier studies have documented pasteurization problems in the dairy industry. As a result, ultrasonic processing has been researched as a non‐heat alternative to pasteurization. In this study, milk‐based soft cheese was treated using various sonication times (0, 1, and 3 min) at a set frequency (22 kHz) with an amplitude of 60% of 630 W and different ripening periods (0, 15, 30, and 60 days) in brine (15%), stored at 4 °C, to reduce heat treatment and increase yield. The physicochemical parameters of white cheeses were examined over next 60 days and compared with a control cheese. The result showed that ultrasound had no significant effect on the cheeses in terms of their fat and protein content on storage. Compared to the control sample, ultrasound treatment improved the taste and aroma ratings due to increased lipolysis and proteolysis. In terms of overall acceptability, the ultra‐filtrate cheese sonicated for 3 min received the highest marks compared to the control. Sonication for 3 min treated fresh milk showed the maximum yield (190.5 g/L milk) compared to untreated raw milk yields (150.32 g/L).
