Abstract

Allelic variation of apolipoprotein E (apo E) has been shown to infl uence the concentrations of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and considered to play a role as one of risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between Apo E polymorphism and the risk of CHD. Blood samples were collected from 33 CHD patients in Dr. Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta, and 38 apparently healthy control individuals in a cross sectional study. The common allelic variants of ApoE were screened employing polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. The results obtained were analyzed by t-test and signifi cantly different if p <0.05 and risk factor was calculated by odd ratio. Frequency of ApoE ε2, ε2 and ε4 alleles in CHD patients were 12.1%, 69.7% and 18.2% while in controls were 18.4%, 72.4% and 9.2% respectively. Dyslipidemia condition was a strongrisk factor for CHD. By controlling lipid profi le and applying multifactorial statistic analysis, it was shown that ε4 gene carrier was the risk factor for CHD, but not in triglyceride level, whereas ε2 carrier gene was not the risk factor for CHD. Dislipidemia was the risk factor for CHD and ApoE ε4 gene carrier was the risk factor for CHD. Key words: apolipoprotein E, ApoE ε4 gene carrier, coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia.

Abstract

HtrA which is characterized by the combination of a trypsin-like catalytic domain with at least one C-terminal PDZ domain is a highly conserved family of serine proteases found in a wide range of organisms. However the identified HtrA family numbers varies among spesies, for example the number of mammalian, Eschericia coli, fruit fly-HtrA family are 4, 3 and 1 gene respectively. One gene is predicted exist in zebrafish. Since no complete information available on zebrafish HtrA, in this paper zebrafish HtrA (zHtrA) gene was analyzed. The zHtrA is belonged to HtrA1 member and predicted encodes 478 amino acids with a signal peptide, a IGF binding domain, a Kazal-type inhibitor domain in the up stream of HtrA-bacterial homolog. At the amino acid sequence the zHtrA1 showed the 69%, 69%, 68%, 54% and 54% with the rat HtrA1, mouse HtrA1, human HtrA1, human HtrA3 and mouse HtrA4 respectively. The zHtrA1 is firstly expressed at 60 hpf and mainly in the vertebral rudiments in the tail region.

Abstract

Primaquine (PQ) is a key drug in the malaria pre-elimination stage. However, PQ can trigger acutehemolysis for people with G6PD defciency (G6PDd). In 2013, 15–25 million Indonesian people were infected with malaria, with 30,000–38,000 deaths each year mostly in eastern Indonesia with API= 15.6 %. Recently, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia announced a plan to reach the pre-elimination stage based on WHO guidelines. This study assesses whether eastern Indonesia should proceed with the activities of malaria pre-elimination. A total 555 healthy people in fve subdistricts in eastern Indonesia were selected by systematic random samping. All data were collected using a standard questionnaire, physical examination, and laboratory tests. PCR and DNA sequencing protocols followed respective manufacture’s instructions. Statistical analysis by bivariate with α= 0.05 and 95% CI were performed using the SPSS software package. Based on the nested PCR, the result showed a malaria prevalence of 32.6% with being the dominant species (52.5%). Malaria cases were found in all study sites and not using a bed net was the moost signifcant risk factors with Exp B= 1.54 with 95% CI= 0.99–2.38. G6PDd prevalence was 16.6%, the highest G6PDd ever found in Indonesia with variant molecular dominant 10.883 T>C and one sample with a heterozygous female. Malaria pre-elimination in eastern Indonesia should be delayed. High risk patients should be tested for enzyme G6PD activities before antimalarial administration.

Abstract

Curcumin is a natural yellow pigment isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa L. (turmeric), and has several pharmacological effects and no toxicity in both in animal and human clinical study. However, the problem of curcumin is its stability because of its active methylene moiety. Modification of this moiety to cyclopentanone is expected to increase the stability. Previous study reported that benzylidenecyclopentanone analogues of curcumin showed inhibitory effect on histamine release from RBL-2H3 (rat basophilic leukemia) cells, a tumor analog of mast cells. One of them, the hydroxy-methoxy analog (PGV-0), showed more potent effect than that of curcumin. In the present study, some benzylidenecyclopentanone analogues of curcumin were evaluated for their effects on the viability and proliferation of RBL-2H3 cells. Viable cells were counted under a light microscope with a cells-counting chamber or using the cell viability reagent WST-1. The results showed that mast cell viability and histamine content were not affected by curcumin and benzylidene cyclopentanone for 30 min incubation, however, impaired for overnight incubation. The hydroxy-dimethyl benzylidene analog (PGV-1) strongly decreased the mast cells viability for overnight incubation, and its effect was highest among the other analogues. In the proliferation study, this compound also strongly inhibited the proliferation of mast cells, whereas curcumin and hydroxy-methoxy benzylidene analog inhibited the proliferation slightly. There were no inhibitory effects on mast cells proliferation treated by dibenzylidene; dihydroxybenzylidene; and hydroxy-diethylbenzylidene cyclopentanone.Keywords : viability, proliferation, curcumin, benzylidene cyclopentanone, RBL-2H3 cells

Abstract

Organohalogen compounds, widely used as pesticides in agriculture and solvents in the industrial sector, cause environmental pollution and health problems due to their toxicity and persistence. Numerous studies have been conducted on the biodegradation of organohalogen compounds, with many focusing on the use of dehalogenase from bacteria. Haloacid dehalogenase is a group of enzymes that cleaves the carbon-halogen bond in halogenated aliphatic acids. In a previous study, the bcfd1 gene encoded haloacid dehalogenase from Bacillus cereus IndB1 was successfully isolated and characterized. This research aimed to create an expression system of the bcfd1 gene by subcloning this gene into pET expression vector and to overexpress the gene in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). In addition, the recombinant protein was characterized to gain a better understanding of the catalytic action of this enzyme. A high expression of bcfd1 was obtained by inducing the culture at OD550 0.8–1.0  using 0.01 mM IPTG as determined by SDS-PAGE. Zymogram analysis proved that the recombinant protein possessed dehalogenase activity. Bcfd1 activity toward monochloroacetic acid (MCA) showed specific activity of 37 U/mg at 30°C, pH 9. The predicted tertiary structure of Bcfd1 was estimated has conserved α/ß hydrolase folding motif for haloacid dehalogenase superfamily.

Abstract

Vector and non-vector forms of Anopheles barbirostris have been recognized in Indonesia. However, because of their similarity in morphology, they were considered to be a single species. This information has led to the hypothesis that Anopheles barbirostris is a complex of species, which are morphologically indistinguishable from each other by ordinary methods. Objectives of the research was to identify the member of Anopheles barbirostris by PCR Assay. Samples were taken from two localities in Java, two in Sulawesi, two in Flores Indonesia, one from Thailand, one from China. The study was to develop a PCR-based technique of rDNA ITS2 region. Results showed that there are at least four species within the Anopheles barbirostris population studied, namely Anopheles barbirostris species DW, DX, DY and DZ. The length of the sequence amplified for species W, species X, species Y, and species Z were 339bps, 247bps, 165bps. and 157bps, respectively. Verification of the method was carried out with 270 mosquitoes from eight different field-collection sites using various sampling methods. Samples collected from Singaraja-Flores were identified as species W and X. All specimens collected from human bite outdoors were identified as species X; this species showed to be predominant among indoor light trap, indoor human bite and indoor resting collections Samples from Reo-Flores were identified as species W and X. All specimens from Manado and Palopo in Sulawesiwere identified as species Z. Similarly only species Y was found in samples from Thailand, while specimens from Salaman and Jambu in Java were identified as species W or species X. These species-specific molecular markers for the Anopheles barbirostris, complex appear to be reliable over a wide geographical area. However, larger number of samples is still needed from throughout the range of this species.Key words: Anopheles barbirostris, ITS2, PCR, Specific primer diagnostic

Abstract

Mini- and microsatellites of four Acacia species, A. aulacocarpa, A. auriculiformis, A. crassicarpa and A.mangium were investigated on four non-coding regions of cpDNA, the intron of trnL, and the intergenicspacers of trnL - trnP, trnD - trnY, and trnP – trnW. Nine single base substitutions and six informative miniandmicrosatellites were detected in the the four cpDNA non-coding regions. Based on the substitutionsand mini- and microsatellites, ten cpDNA haplotypes (A - J) could be distinguished. Acacia auriculiformispossessed fi ve haplotypes, A. aulacocarpa, four haplotypes, and A. crassicarpa, three haplotypes. All samplesof A. mangium possessed the same haplotype. Mini- and microsatellites recognized in this study can beused for species identifi cation of the four Acacia species. The ten haplotypes could divided the four speciesinto 2 groups, A. aulacocarpa-A.crassicarpa group and A. auriculiformis-A. mangium group. By developing thePCR-based markers based on the sequence information, many experiments can be carried out for the Acaciaimprovement programs.

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

Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) has been reported preclinically to diffuse across the placenta and to be found in fetal plasma, suggesting that it can influence the fetus if taken by a pregnant cancer patient. In utero exposure of SAHA to mouse embryos during mid-gestation was found to perturb corticogenesis. However, the influence of in utero administration of SAHA to mouse embryos during mid-gestation on astrocyte, glial cell, and inhibitory neurons (interneurons) is yet to be reported. Pregnant dams were divided into control and SAHA groups and given methyl cellulose (as control) and SAHA orally once a day for 3 days during mid-gestation, starting from embryonic day (E)12 until E14. Astrocyte, interneuron, and behavior analyses were performed on the pups from postnatal day 7 until adulthood (3 months old). Brains were harvested and immunohistochemistry, Western Blot, and RT-PCR were performed on their cortex area. Transient exposure of SAHA to mouse embryos resulted in a decrease and increase in cortical astrocyte and interneuron, respectively. Meanwhile, adult SAHA mice displayed significantly increased anxiety, decreased memory, altered long-term cognitive functions, and reduced social interactions. Our study suggests that exposure to SAHA during prominent neurogenic periods might imbalance the normal excitatory:inhibitory neuron ratio required for the precise regulation of physiological functions in the brain.
