Abstract

Body Condition Scoring (BCS) is an estimation of the muscle and fat development of an animal. Thin ewes that are fighting to maintain their own body weight and low concentration of cortisol are not able to ovulate as ewes in a more desirable condition due to lack of oestradiol concentration. The aims of this research are to monitor the cortisol and oestradiol profile in Cross-bred ettawa does and to determine effect of BCS on the cortisol and oestradiol profile. Eight does were used in this research. These animals were devided equally into 2 groups based on Body Condition Scoring (BCS), namely BCS 2, which body weight range between 25-30 kgs as group I ( >n=4 ) and BCS 3 which consists of ettawa with body weight range between 33-40 kg as group II ( n=4 ). All animals were synchronized using implant of CIDR and PGF2alpha. Blood from jugular vein were collected every 3 and 6 hours as soon as oestrus until 72 hours. Serum contained cortisol and oestradiol then assayed using ELISA</div><div>method. Cortisol and oestradiol concentrations were compared between groups by T test. The results showed that average concentration of cortisol is 47.17 &plusmn; 42.19 ng/mL for BCS 2 and 112.40&plusmn;74.41ng/mL for BCS 3 (P<0.05), whereas concentration of oestradiol is 72.25&plusmn;30.62 pg/mL for BCS 2 and 145.72&plusmn;100.18 pg/mL for BCS 3 (P<0.05).  Either cortisol or oestradiol have very synchronized wave except 2 of animals from BCS 2 (50%), which has tendency to suppress each other. It was concluded that profile of cortisol and oestradiol hormone have a very similar pattern, and BCS can affect hormone profile.

Abstract

Caesalpinia sappan L. and Ficus septica Burm. f  known asa potential plant with wide variety of medicinal properties, including anticancer. Present study was aimed to explore cytotoxic effect ofsappan wood (ECS) and awar-awar leaves (EFS), and its combination with doxorubicin (dox) on MCF-7 cells focusing on cell cycle progression and apoptosis induction.The result of MTT assay showed that single treatment of ECS and dox performed cytotoxic effect with the IC50 value of 32 µg/mL and 6 µM respectively, while EFS performed low cytotoxic effect with the IC50 value of 282 µg/mL. The combination of ECS with EFS and doxorubicin showed synergistic cytotoxic effect. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that combination of ECS (16 µg/mL) with EFS (8 µg/mL) and doxorubicin (2 µM) induced apoptosis, and cell accumulation at sub-G1 and G2/M phases.Immunoblotting assay confirmed the apoptosis induction of this combination through increasing of cleavage of PARP-1. Based on these results, the synergistic cytotoxic effect of this combinationwas through G2/M phase accumulation and apoptosis inductionand potentially to be developed as co-chemotherapeutic agent.

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

Bacteria that capable of forming root nodules on legumes are known as Rhizobia. They have also known as Legume- Nodulating Bacteria (LNB). They can fi x nitrogen from the atmosphere. Diversity of Legume-Nodulating Bacteria is affected by biotic factors (such as their genetic factors, plants, and competition with the other soil microbes) and abiotic factors (such as land use, soil’s temperature, pH, chemistry and soil’s properties). The aim of this experiment is to know the diversity of eleven Legume- Nodulating Bacteria based on their phenotypic and genotypic characters. The eleven LNB used in this experiments were isolated from several agroecosystems in Sumberjaya, Lampung. The analysis of these LNB diversity were carried out by characterizing both phenotypic and genotypic properties. The diversity analysis showed that the eleven LNB isolates had high diversity, based on nodule formation, and classifi ed into two groups of cross inoculation group. Key words: Rhizobia, phenotypic diversity, genotypic diversity

Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) is the main causative pathogen that cause the pulmonary tuberculosis. Intracellular M.tb was reported able to induce macrophages apoptosis, which may have crucial role in the regulation of immun response against M.tb infection. As an intracellular bacteria, M.tb able to live and replicate within macrophages. Phagocytosis is the first step to achieved this condition. The induction of macrophages apoptosis by INH resistant and sensitive M.tb clinical isolates, and H37Rv was studied. The macrophages apoptosis level were measured  using  an  Ag-capture  ELISA  for  histone  and  fragmented  DNA  (Cell  Death  Detection  ELISAplus,  Roche Diagnostic GmBH). Phagocytosis activity also analyzed, after staining using fluorescence dye (AcriFluorTM, Scientific Device Lab.). The results showed that there was no significantly different between INH resistant and sensitive M.tb clinical isolates in respect their ability to induce apoptosis. The phagocytosis activity among the clinical isolates was shown to be strain dependent, and undistinguishable between the Mtb clinical isolates. There was no association between macrophages apoptosis level and the phagocytosis activity. These data suggested that among the virulent Mtb clinical isolates, the ability to induce macrophages apoptosis and phagocytosis were consistently in comparable level.

Abstract

One of the primary selection criteria for potential probiotics is the ability to adhere to the host gastrointestinal tract. This study evaluated the in vitro adhesion ability on gastric mucin of two Lactobacillus casei strains (AP and AG) and two Pediococcus acidilactici strains (BE and BK), and identifed the corresponding genes responsible for adherence. Adhesion assays were performed in 96-well polystyrene microtiter plates using gastric mucin from porcine stomach as the matrix. An in vitro study on gastric mucin revealed that lactobacilli had a greater adherence ability compared with pediococci strains. The potential adherence genes were investigated using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology. Using specifc primers, PCR studies amplifed 150 base pairs of a potential mub gene and 161 base pairs of a potential ef-Tu gene, but no amplifed bands for potential map and bac genes were obtained. Sequence comparisons showed that the 150 and 161 amplifed base pairs were respectively homologous to the mub of Pediococcus acidilactici and ef-Tu genes of Lactobacillus paracasei. We concluded that the adherence ability of two strains of Lactobacillus casei (AP and AG) and two strains of Pediococcus acidilactici (BE and BK) on gastric mucin is in accordance with the presence of ef-Tu and mub genes. High level attachment in lactobacilli is likely to correlate with the ef-Tu gene, which is a lactobacilli-specifc adhesive gene.

Abstract

Toxoplasma gondii is one of the opportunistic pathogen that causes toxoplasmosis. Infection of Toxoplasma gondii has been estimated as high both in human and animal. The manifestation of infection were abortion, hydrocephalus, brain calcification, chorioretinal scar, and loss of productivity even to death in patients with acquired immunosuppression. Early diagnostic method which are rapid and accurate is essential for T. gondii detection because of its high prevalence. The purpose of this study was to develop a sensitive probes derived from Surface Antigen 1 (SAG1) for detection T. gondii and to examine the specificity and sensitivity of probe as diagnostic tool for toxoplasmosis. This research used SAG1 gene of T. gondii local isolate IS-1 that was cloned into pGEX-2T and transformed into Eschericia coli DH5α. The sequence of SAG1 was labeled with DIGoxigenin (non radioactive labeled) using PCR DIG Labeling Mix to derive 213 bp (probe-TS). BLAST and dot-blot hybridization analyses showed that probes had high specifity with other strains of T. gondii. Probe was able to detect T. gondii DNAup to 10 ng/μl of total sample DNA.

Abstract

Pigmented rice may have a black or red color due to higher anthocyanin content in its grain. A natural antioxidant, many studies on anthocyanin have reported its positive effects on human health. This fact has spurred the development of pigmented rice as a functional food. This study aimed to compare the metabolite profiles of black and red rice. Three black rice cultivars, namely Melik, Pari Ireng, and Cempo Ireng Sleman, and two red rice cultivars, Inpari 24 and RC 204, were used. After husk removal, grain samples were ground in liquid nitrogen and dried with a freeze dryer. The dried samples were extracted using 50% MeOD4 (in a D2O phosphate buffer pH 6 containing 0.01% TSP as an internal standard). Metabolomic analysis was performed using 500 MHz NMR followed by multivariate data analysis. An orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) model ađer PCA was constructed to discriminate between the five different cultivars. The resulting OPLS-DA score plot revealed a clear separation between black rice and red rice. The metabolites that could influence the separation of red rice and black rice were valine, threonine, alanine, glutamate, galactinol, β-glucose, α-glucose, raffinose, and fumaric acid.

Abstract

Complication of retinopathy in type 2 DM is caused of lower level of NO. Nitric oxide level is synthesizedfrom L-arginin in reaction that catalyze Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) 3. The T-786C mutation in NOS 3 genedecreases the expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) 3 so decreases NO synthesis. To investigate theassociation between T-786C polymorphism in NOS 3 gene with NO level of diabetic retinopathy patients. Thisstudy was a case control study, consist of 40 patient of type 2 diabetic with DR (case group) and 40 patient oftype 2 diabetic without DR (control group) of Javanese ethnic. The genotyping of T-786C polymorphism wasperformed by PCR-RLFP. Level of NO was measured by spectrophotometry. Chi square test and odd ratiowere used to analyze the association of the T-786C polymorphism in NOS 3 gene with DR. Differences ofNO level between TT and TC genotypes were analyzed using independent t test. The distribution of T-786Cpolymorphism in NOS 3 gene of DR subjects showed that frequency of TT genotype was 22.5% and TC genotypewas 77.5%. Non DR subjects showed the frequency of TT genotype was 50% and TC genotype was 50%, (p=0.011). Frequency of T allele in DR group was 61.25% and C allele was 38.75%, and frequency of T allele in nonDR group was 75% and C allele was 25%, (p= 0.62). Odd ratio of TC genotype was 3.444(CI; 95% : 0.964-3.735)and C allele was 1.898 (CI; 95% : 1.310-9.058). The NO level of TC genotype was 1.43+0.126 and TT genotypewas 11.27+5.87 (p=0.000). Level of NO between RD and non RD showed not different significantly (p=0.160)for retinopathy. The T-786C polymorphism of NOS 3 gene is risk factor for retinopathy in type 2 DiabetesMellitus. Individual with TC genotype of NOS 3 gene has lower level of NO than TT genotype.
