Abstract

The most influential factor in the poor healing of chronic ulcers is replicative senescence of fibroblasts that are unresponsive to TGF-β1 stimulation. Cellular replicative senescence can be induced by cultivating normal human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) in a serum-starved medium. In addition, increasing microenviroment mechanical forces by hyaluronic acid can ameliorate the TGF-β1 signaling of these senescent cells. One of natural resources of hyaluronic acid is bovine vitreous gel. In order to evaluate the effect of bovine-vitreous gel on replicative senescence of fibroblasts, we used various levels of bovine vitreous gel diluted in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium to stimulate cellular activities of serum-starved HDFs. Those cellular activities were compared to the control media, standardized hyaluronic acid, and to normal HDFs. Our results show that replicative senescence of HDFs treated with 50% bovine vitreous gel exhibited a significantly higher proliferation index, migration rate, and collagen deposition than those cultured in control media, and they displayed an equal level of cellular activity with the HDFs exposed only to standardized hyaluronic acid. We concluded that bovine vitreous gel can be used to stimulate replicative senescence of HDFs and therefore a potential candidate material to stimulate healing of chronic ulcers.

Abstract

Chitosan nanoparticle could become potential formula to protect protein degradation during therapy,since chitosan nanoparticles have “proton sponge hypothesis” mechanism on its protection. Chitosan and pectinis used as basic formula of drug delivery because of its biodegradable and biocompatible properties. Chitosanpectin nanoparticles can be formulated by polyelectrolit complex. EpCAM showed excessive expression inepithelial cancer cells thus can be used as a therapeutic biomarker. MJ protein, a Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins(RIPs) isolated from Mirabilis jalapa L had a higher cytotoxicity on malignant cells than normal cells. MJ proteinneed to be formulated to protect from proteosome degradation in endosome. The aim of this research was todevelop MJ protein-chitosan-pectin nanoparticles and conjugated with anti EpCAM for breast cancer therapy.Mj protein was extracted from M.jalapa leaves. RIPs activity was assayed by supercoiled DNA cleavage. MJprotein were loaded into chitosan nanoparticles using medium viscous chitosan and pectin as cross-linker withpolyelectrolit complex method. Anti EpCAM was conjugated to MJ protein-chitosan-pectin nanoparticles bycarbodiimide reaction and characterized for its entrapment efficiency, morphology by transmission electronmicroscope, particles size, and zeta potential. MJ protein nanoparticles conjugated anti EpCAM and withoutanti EpCAM were cytotoxicity assayed toward T47D and Vero cell lines. MJ protein was able to cleave thesupercoiled DNA into linear and nicked-circular ones. The nanoparticles optimal concentration of mediumviscous chitosan: MJ protein: pectin was 0.01%: 0.01%: 1% (m/v). A high entrapment efficiency of MJ proteinnanoparticles was 98.97 ± 0.07%. Morphology nanoparticles showed an amorphic structure with 200.00 nmparticles size. The nanoparticles conjugated anti EpCAM showed average particles size 367.67nm, polydispersityindex 0.332, and zeta potential +39.97mV. MJ protein-chitosan-pectin nanoparticles conjugated anti EpCAMand unconjugated both had higher cytotoxicity with the IC50 57.64 μg/mL and 46.84 μg/mL respectivelyagainst T47D and 99.38 μg/mL and 111.34 μg/mL against Vero cell lines compared to MJ protein with IC50 of3075.61 μg/mL against T47D and 3286.88 μg/mL against Vero cell lines. Both MJ protein-nanoparticles couldincrease the cytotoxicity effects about 50 times compared to the unformulated MJ protein activity, howeverhad less specificity toward T47D and Vero cell lines.

Abstract

Rhoptry protein belongs to an excretory and secretory antigens (ESAs) that play an important role during active penetration of parasite into the cell target. This protein an able Toxoplasma gondii to actively penetrate targeted cell, meanwhile ESAs protein stimulates intracellular vacuole modification. It is, therefore, after the parasite successfully enter the cell target then Granule (GRA) proteins are responsible for the formation of parasitophorus vacuole, which is protect the fusion with other intracellular compartments such as lysosomal vacuole. Consequently, this parasite is being able to survive and multiply at the cell target. The current study was aimed to clone and sequens cDNA encoding for ROP-2 of local isolated T. gondii tachizoite through DNA recombinant technique. Total ribonucleic acid (RNA) was isolated from tachyzoites of local isolated T. gondii that were grown up in Balb/c mice. Messenger RNA was isolated from total RNA using PolyAtract mRNA Isolation System. Messenger RNA was used as a template for synthesis cDNA using Riboclone cDNA Synthesis System AMV-RT. EcoRI adaptor from Riboclone EcoRI Adaptor Ligation System was added to Complementary DNA and than ligated to pUC19. Recombinant plasmid was transformed into E. coli (XL1-Blue). The transformed E. coli XL-1 Blue were plated on LB agar containing X-Gal, IPTG and ampicillin. Recombinant clones (white colony) were picked up and grown up in the LB medium at 37oC overnight. Expression of recombinant protein was analysed by immunoblotting in order to identify cDNA recombinant wich is express ESA of T. gondii local isolate. Recombinant plasmid were isolated using alkalilysis method and were elektroforated in 1% agarose gel. The isolated DNA recombinant plasmid was cut using Eco RI and then sequenced through Big Dye Terminator Mix AB1 377A Sequencer using M13 Forward and M13 Reverse primers. The conclusion of this results showed that the recombinant clone was coding for excretory and secretory protein which has molecular weight of 54 kDa.

Abstract

Brazilein performs anti­cancer activities on several cancer cells and potentially inhibits metastasis. The aims of this study is to observe the synergistic cytotoxic and migration inhibitory effect of brazilein combined with cisplatin on 4T1 breast cancer cells. Under MTT assay, we found that brazilein revealed cytotoxic effect on 4T1 cells in a dose­dependent manner (IC50=50 ± 0.3 µM). Combination of brazilein and cisplatin showed synergistic effect (CI=0.72). Flowcytometry analysis on the cell cycle progression showed that single treatment of 25 µM brazilein induced G2/M­phase accumulation, 12.5 µM cisplatin induced S­phase accumulation, while combination of brazilein and cisplatin induced S­phase and G2/Mphase accumulation. Combination of brazilein and cisplatin induced apoptosis higher than that of the single treatments. Based on wound healing assay, 12.5 µM brazilein and its combination with 6.25 µM cisplatin inhibited cells migration. Immunoblotting and gelatin zymography analysis showed that combination of brazilein and cisplatin inhibited the expression level of Rac1 and MMP9 proteins. Based on these results, we conclude that brazilein enhanced cytotoxic activity of cisplatin and inhibited migration on 4T1 cells and potentially can be developed as an enhancing cytotoxic and antimetastasis agent.

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.

Abstract

Twenty six isolates of Streptomyces spp. obtained from Cyperus rotundus L. rhizosphere were tested forability to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in yeast malt extract (YM) medium containing 2 mg/mL tryptophan.Screening of the isolates for ability to produce IAA was carried out by adding Salkowski reagent in bacteriaculture and was measured quantitatively by spectrophotometer at λ 530 nm. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)method was used to determine IAA. To ensure the IAA production in Streptomyces isolates, gene involved inIAA biosynthesis was detected by amplifying Tryptophan Monooxigenase (iaaM) gene. The study of the effectof tryptophan on the production of IAA was measured at different concentrations of tryptophan (0, 1, 2, 3,4, 5 mg/mL) in the bacterial culture. The result showed that there were two Streptomyces spp. isolates whichcould produce IAA, namely the isolates of Streptomyces sp. MS1 (125.48 μg/mL) and Streptomyces sp. BR27(104.13 μg/mL). The TLC result showed that the compound in both isolates was identifi ed to be IAA. Theamplifi cation results showed that iaaM gene was detected in both isolates. This results indicated that the IAMpathway is predicted involved in the biosynthesis of IAA in the selected isolates. Both of the isolates were ableto produce IAA after 24 h incubation and the highest production was at 120 h incubation with the concentrationof tryptophan was 2 mg/mL dan 1 mg/mL, respectively. Therefore, it is concluded that Streptomyces spp.isolates are able to produce IAA and potentially to be utilized as biostimulat agent. Keywords: Streptomyces spp., indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-acetamide (IAM), Tryptophan Monooxigenasegene (iaaM)

Abstract

Anthocyanin of pigmented rice inhibits the growth of cancer cells. The cytotoxicity and apoptosisinducing properties of local black rice (cv Cempo Ireng) extracts and fractions, which contain anthocyaninincluding cyanidin 3-glucoside and peonidin 3-glucoside, on human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa cells) hasbeen evaluated. The pigmented rice bran was extracted and fractionated using methanol-HCl. The MTT testwas performed on HeLa cell cultures to observe the IC50 value. Preparative TLC was performed to obtain thefractions of black rice bran. Cyanidin 3-glucoside and peonidin 3-glucoside were identified in the pigmentedrice bran extract and fractions using UHPLC. Flowcytometry analysis was performed to measure the percentageof apoptotic cells. Our results suggest that the fractions are more toxic than the methanolic crude extract withIC50 values of 85.95 ± 5.56 μg/mL (the lowest one) and 408.13 ± 51.9 μg/mL, respectively. The concentration ofcyanidin 3-glucoside and peonidin 3-glucoside in the methanolic extract were 1.89 and 0.84 μg/mg, respectively.The apoptosis induction by fractions F2 and F4 (52 and 55%) were significantly higher compared to fractionF3 and F5 (30 and 33%) and doxorubicin (21%). Cyanidin 3-glucoside was detected in F4 (0.14 μg/ml) whilepeonidin 3-glucoside in F2 (0.012 μg/ml), however both were not detected in F3 and F5.

Abstract

E545A is one of the point mutations, and its frequency is high in PIK3CA gene (3.8%), particularly breast cancer patients in Singapore (13.8%) and Mexico (11.5%). In addition to induce breast cancer, the mutation also caused resistance of anti-HER2 in HER2 cancer subtype. The tremendous effect of this mutation was not supported by affordable detection method. This study aimed to develop a feasible and sensitive method of E545A detection. The developing method used Tm and Ct to identify samples. Based on optimization, the best condition was obtained at optimization 2 at annealing temperature of 65°C. At this condition, Tm and Ct of each sample were (a) exon 9 (78.4°C and 13.005±0.007) and (b) E5454A (80.4°C and 10.07±0.1). This method also demonstrated good precision as observed in variance coefficient of intra and inter assay (0). Thus, method for E5454A detection mutation was successfully developed.

Abstract

Microbial electrolysis is a promising process for bio-hydrogen production which might be implemented in waste water treatment in a near future. Unfortunately substrate could be converted into methane by acetoclastic methanogens and will reduce the coulombic efficiency (CE). The research objective was to study the competition between electrogens and methanogens for substrate in a continuous Microbial Electrolysis Cell (MEC).The competition was studied in relation to controlling acetate influent concentration (Cin) from 35 to 1 mM with a fixed anode potential -350 mV, by assessing activity of electrogens as current density (CD), activity of acetoclastic methanogens as methanogenic consumed acetate (Cmeth), and CE and by measuring anolyte protein content to confirm a steady state condition. Controlling Cin from 35 to 1 mM resulted in tendency of both CD and Cmeth to decrease and CE to increase. At decreasing Cin from 35 to 5 mM which left excess acetate concentration in anolyte, the CEs were between 36.4% and 75.3%. At further decreasing Cin to 1 mM the acetate concentration was limited (Cef 0 mM), but the CE only reached 95.8%. Methanogenesis always occur and electrogens were not able to outcompete the acetoclastic methanogens even though the substrate concentration was limited.Keywords : microbial electrolysis cell, bio-hydrogen, metanogenesis, substrate concentration
