Abstract

As an active ingredient of herbicide, paraquat will induce formation of superoxide radicals. The previousresearch succeeded in isolating paraquat degrading bacteria from peat soil, Micrococcus sp. S2, that tolerant to highconcentration of paraquat. An anti-oxidative enzyme, namely superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC.1.15.1.1), wasbelieved to be responsible for the paraquat tolerance. This research was conducted to study the characteristic of theSOD synthesize by Micrococcus sp. S2 and its ability on neutralize superoxide which arise from paraquat reoxidation.To observe the effect of paraquat on Micrococcus sp. S2, the bacteria was grown in 10% Luria Bertani brothmedium amended with several concentrations of paraquat, from 0 (control) up to 100 mg/ml. Within incubationtime of 72 hours, bacterial growth, activity of superoxide dismutase and paraquat residue were analyzed. Theisozymes of superoxide dismutase were distinguished using two kinds of specific inhibitor, namely HO and KCN. 2 2The results showed that paraquat significantly inhibit the growth of Micrococcus sp. S2. The higher paraquatcocentration in the medium caused the higher growth inhibition. However, the bacteria is still survive in the mediumcontaining toxic herbicide, and this ability was suggested related to superoxide dismutase activity in removing thesuperoxide radicals. Analysis using gel electrophoresis indicated that at least three types of SOD isozyme weresynthesized by Micrococcus sp. S2; they were Ferri-SOD (Fe-SOD), Mangani-SOD (Mn-SOD), and the last one wassuspected to be the Cupro Zinc-SOD (CuZn-SOD). The Mangani-SOD was suspected to play an important roles ondetoxifying superoxide which arise from paraquat oxidation.Keywords : Micrococcus sp.S2, paraquat, superoxide dismutase, isozymes

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. The DNA alignments of sequence from the cloned gene showed 97% homology with gene encoding for ROP-2 of T. gondii RH isolate.

Abstract

The smp3-1 mutant allele confers increased holding stability of heterologous plasmid, pSR1, and a temperature-sensitive growth defect which is remediable by the addition of 1 M sorbitol as the osmotic stabilizer. The smp3-1 allele contains two base substitutions; one is in the open reading frame and changed the 490th CAT (encoding Histidine) to TAT (tyrosine), and the other one is an A for G substitution, at 2 bp downstream from termination codon. These base substitutions were separated each other by recombination at a BstNI site located between these two substitutions. The base substitution in the 3'' untranslated region was found to be lethal and the defect was unremediable by the osmotic stabilizer, while that in the open reading frame has no appreciable effect to the cell. Thus, both the base substitutions join together confer the smp3-1 mutant phenotype. The smp3-1 mutant cells cultivated at 37 OC in nutrient medium containing 1 M sorbitol showed similar smp3 transcription as in the wild type. These facts suggest that smp3-1 mutation has a defect in its post-transcriptional process.

Abstract

FcγRIIa (CD32) is an IgG receptor which has been shown to be important in autoimmune disease pathology. IV.3, 8.7, and 7.30 are anti-FcγRIIa monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), which block the interaction between FcγRIIa and complex IgG. In this study, the three mAbs were demonstrated to inhibit FcγRIIa function. The determination of the precise epitopes of the IV.3, 8.7, and 7.30 mAbs may become a potential approach for designing inhibitors for FcγRIIa. The epitope of IV.3, 8.7, and 7.30 were determined using chimeric receptors based on the extracellular domains of FcγRIIa and the FcεRI a chain. The epitopes for IV.3 was found to be mapped on amino acid residues 132-137, while 8.7 and 7.30 were on amino acid residues 112-119 and 157-162. Based on the crystal 3D model of FcγRIIa molecule, these amino acid sequences are clustered together forming a contiguous region within the ligand binding site of the receptor.

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 regulationof immun response against M.tb infection. As an intracellular bacteria, M.tb able to live and replicate withinmacrophages. Phagocytosis is the first step to achieved this condition. The induction of macrophages apoptosis byINH resistant and sensitive M.tb clinical isolates, and H37Rv was studied. The macrophages apoptosis level weremeasured using an Ag-capture ELISA for histone and fragmented DNA (Cell Death Detection ELISAplus, RocheDiagnostic GmBH). Phagocytosis activity also analyzed, after staining using fluorescence dye (AcriFluorTM, ScientificDevice Lab.). The results showed that there was no significantly different between INH resistant and sensitive M.tbclinical isolates in respect their ability to induce apoptosis. The phagocytosis activity among the clinical isolates wasshown to be strain dependent, and undistinguishable between the Mtb clinical isolates. There was no associationbetween macrophages apoptosis level and the phagocytosis activity. These data suggested that among the virulentMtb clinical isolates, the ability to induce macrophages apoptosis and phagocytosis were consistently in comparablelevelKeywords: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, apoptosis, phagocytosis, macrophages, isoniazid

Abstract

Memories are storage in cholinoceptive cells, the cells which are enriched with microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2) that localized in the neuronal dendrite and the cell bodies. Phosphorylation of MAP-2 may increase memory with reduce stability of dendrite by altered dendrite length and lead new side-branches of neuronal as a neuronal plasticity processes in cerebral cortex. The aim of this research is to study the distribution of MAP-2 phosphorylation neurons in cerebral cortex of long-tailed macaques in the third semester of gestationalimmunohistochemically using avidin biotin conjugated complex method. Neurons MAP-2 phosphorylation immunoreactive were located in dendrites and cell bodies, mostly in pyramidal neurons of cerebral cortex. Intensity of MAP-2 phosphorylation immunoreactivity in layer V were stronger than another layer and the neurons that very intensely stained were the pyramidal cells in frontal and parietal lobes, that was suggested that neurons in this areas more responsive to neuroplasticity. From the results we concluded that MAP-2 phosphorylation already distributed in the cerebral cortex of long-tailed macaque fetuses at the last trimester of gestation, mostly in the pyramidal cells of layer V that is suggested plays a role for preparation of memoryformation.Keywords: fetus, long-tailed monkey, cerebral cortex, memory, MAP-2 phosphorylation

Abstract

Hedyotis corymbosa L. with ursolic acid as the main compound is one of the plants that has been used for traditional medicine including to cure breast cancer disease. The aim of this research is to examine the cytotoxic activity of rumput mutiara herb ethanolic extract (ERM) and its effect in combination with doxorubicin against MCF-7 breast cancer cell line as cell model of doxorubicin resistance. Hedyotis corymbosa L. herb powder extraction was done by maceration using ethanol 96% then the extract is detected for ursolic acid content. Cell viability assay of ERM, doxorubicin and  the combination of ERM and doxorubicin treatments were carried out by MTT assay to determine IC50 and CI (Combination Index). Cell cycle distribution was determined by flowcytometry. Apoptosis assay was performed by ethidum bromide-acridine orange DNA staining method. Investigation on Bcl-2 expression was determined by immunocytochemistry method. Thin Layer Chromatography of ERM had similar Rf with ursolic acid standard: 0,6. ERM and doxorubicin inhibited cell growth against MCF-7 with IC50  of 77 µg/mL and 349 nM (0,19 µg/mL) respectively. Combination of ERM and doxorubicin showed synergistic effect (CI 0.66-0.99). Combination of 25 ìg/mL ERM- 200 nM doxorubicin induced apoptosis and decreased Bcl-2 expression but showed no cell accumulation on cell cycle. Doxorubicin induced high cell accumulation in G2/M phase, but ERM at the concentration of 25 ìg/mL had a low effect in G1 phase, and ERM IC50 did not induce cell accumulation otherwise apoptosis. These results concluded that the apoptosis mechanism of combination doxorubicin-ERM is mediated by cell cycle arrest and non cell cycle arrest. Therefore ERM has a potential activity to be developed as co-chemotherapeutic agent.

Abstract

Bayer 41-4109 is heteroarylpyrimidine (HAP) which has been identified as potent of HBV capsid assemblyinhibitor. The present study was to study effect of Bayer 41-4109 treatment on the intracellular localization ofEGFP-Core fusion proteins into HepG2 cells. Three recombinant plasmids of pEGFP-Core with single, double andtriple NLS of HBV core (EGFP-Core 1C, 2C and 3C ) and two recombinant plasmids with single and triple NLS ofSV-40 (EGFP-Core 1 and 3 SV-40) were used in this work. After transient transfected into HepG2 cells and treatedwith Bayer 41-4109, the intracellular localization of expressed fusion proteins from all plasmid constructions weredetermined and quantified under confocal laser microscope. Results shown that Bayer 41-4109 treatment in HepG2cells inhibited the nuclear localization of EGFP-Core with single of triple HBV core NLS. As well as the constructionsof expressed fusion protein with single and triple SV-40 NLS (EGFP-Core 1 and 3 SV-40 NLS) showeddecreasing the nuclear localization after treated with Bayer 41-4109, even not as strong as EGFP-Core 1C and 3CNLS. Bayer 41-4109 has been identified as a potent inhibitors of HBV replication which has multiple effects on HBVcapsid assembly. It may inhibit virus replication by inducing assembly inappropriately and by misdirectingassembly decreasing the stability of normal capsids.Keywords: HBV capsid, Bayer 41-4109, EGFP-Core fusion protein, HepG2 cell

Abstract

Leptomycin B (LMB) was originally discovered as a potent anti-fungal antibiotic from Streptomyces species. The cellular target of LMB has been identified as the nuclear export receptor CRM-1 or exportin-1, which is involved in nuclear trafficking of cellular RNAs or proteins containing the nuclear export sequence (NES). CRM-1 is the main mediator of nuclear export in many cell types including hepatocyte cell lines. The ability of LMB to inhibit nuclear export has made it a useful tool in the study of the intracellular localization of manyregulatory proteins. In this study, we evaluated the effect of nuclear export inhibitor LMB treatment on the intracellular localization of HBV core protein into the hepatocyte cell lines, Huh-7 and HepG2 cells. We also reported the quantification of the distribution of EGFP-Core fusion protein with redundant core NLS as well as SV-40 NLS into cell compartments. Results shown that in Huh-7 cells treatment of LMB caused retention of EGFP-Core fusion protein into the nucleus, so increased the nuclear localization of EGFP-Core and all variants.In HepG2 cells, although not significantly, treatment of LMB increased a number of nuclear localization in all EGFP-Core constructions, even the nuclear localization in HepG2 cells is not so high as in Huh-7 cells.
