Abstract

BACKGROUND: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an essential component of extracellular matrix and mediates signaling in wound healing. HA could induce growth factor release from Advanced Platelet Rich Fibrin (A-PRF), including Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF). However, concentrations of the released-VEGF and PDGF have not been clearly disclosed. Therefore, current study was conducted to measure the release of these growth factors in HA + A-PRF gel of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) subjects.METHODS: Twenty DFU subjects were included in the study and treated with A-PRF or HA+A-PRF. A-PRF was derived from autologous peripheral blood and processed with low-speed centrifugation. HA was added with a ratio of 1:0.6. A-PRF or HA + A-PRF was applied topically on DFU. Upper tips of A-PRF or HA + A-PRF gels were collected on day 0, 3 and 7 for measurements of VEGF and PDGF concentrations with Enzyme-linked Immune-sorbent Assay (ELISA) methods.RESULTS: On day-3, both VEGF and PDGF concentrations of HA + A-PRF group were significantly higher than the VEGF (p=0.000) and PDGF (p=0.019) concentrations of A-PRF group. The VEGF and PDGF concentrations were continuously and significantly increased on day-7 of HA + A-PRF group, compared to the VEGF (p=0.000) and PDGF (p=0.004) concentrations of A-PRF group.CONCLUSION: Combination HA+A-PRF induces VEGF and PDGF release from A-PRF. A mixture of A-PRF and HA could be more effective than A-PRF alone for treatment of DFU.KEYWORDS: hyaluronic acid, advanced platelet rich fibrin, PRF, growth factor, VEGF, PDGF, diabetic foot ulcer

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Active proliferation is specific property of a tumor cells. However, the cost of the analysis is high due to commercial anti-Ki-67 mAbs used as the main immunoreagent for reliable identification of proliferating cells. In this study, recombinant protein was used to obtain specific mAbs for Ki-67 biomarker immunodetection.METHODS: Codon optimized fragment of ki-67 gene was cloned into the pET28c(+)vector. The recombinant protein was purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) and confirmed by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS. Hybridoma cells were obtained by fusing myeloma cells with mouse spleen cells immunized with recombinant antigen. The specificity and activity of mAbs was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western blot and immunocytochemistry.RESULTS: The pET-28c(+)/ki-67 plasmid, which encodes 355 amino acid protein, was obtained. Analysis by LC-MS/MS of the recombinant antigen showed that 77.5% of the amino-acid sequence belonged to Ki-67 protein. Recombinant fragment of Ki-67 protein was used to obtain specific hybridoma strains. ELISA and Western blot demonstrated high affinity and the specificity of obtained mAbs against Ki-67 protein. Newly generated anti-Ki67 mAbs detected target protein in proliferating cells of MCF-7 cell line by immunocytochemistry.CONCLUSION: Newly developed mAbs are potentially useful as an immunodiagnostic tool for assessing the proliferative activity of breast tumor cells using immunocytochemistry.KEYWORDS: breast cancer, Ki-67, monoclonal antibodies, nuclear antigen, recombinant antigen, tumor cells

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The lic1A gene is an important virulence factor for non-typeable H. influenzae (NTHi), which allows its translocation from the nasopharynx into the sinonasal cavity and modulates more severe inflammatory processes. This study is aimed for identifying the potential correlation between the NTHi lic1A gene expressions and the severity of post-viral acute rhinosinusitis.METHODS: Sixty patients who were diagnosed with post-viral acute rhinosinusitis, were recruited from an ENT clinic in a referral hospital, in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. All patients underwent a historical assessment and ENT examination. The nasal specimen was taken from the patient’s middle meatal. The NTHi lic1A gene expression was detected using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).RESULTS: We observed that eight patients had the NTHi lic1A (+), with a strong correlation toward the dominant symptoms (nasal obstruction and discharge). In addition, the symptom’s duration of the NTHi lic1A (+) was twice longer than patients with the NTHi lic1A (-). Its severity was significantly more different between the two groups (p=0.034).CONCLUSION: Taken together, the presence of the NTHi lic1A gene is significantly associated with the severity of the disease and the symptom’s duration. Thus, the NTHi lic1A gene could potentially be a good marker for assessing the severity of post-viral acute rhinosinusitis cases in the future.KEYWORDS: H. influenzae, rhinosinusitis, nasal obstruction, virulence factors

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Millions of cells in multicellular organisms regenerate every day to replace aged and died cells. Effective cell clearance (efferocytosis) is critical for tissue homeostasis, as the human body recycles its cellular components. We summarize what is known about the mechanisms of efferocytosis and how it impacts the physiology of the organism, effects on inflammation and the adaptive immune response, as well as the consequences of defects in this critical homeostatic mechanism in this review.CONTENT: Cell death is the process by which the human body replaces aged or damaged cells with new ones. It can be triggered by genetically encoded machinery or regulated cell death, or by specific pharmacologic or genetic interventions, resulting in accidental cell death. Dying cells release signals that entice phagocytes to engulf them in a process known as efferocytosis. Efferocytosis is a multistep process involving the release of “find me” and “eat me” signals and destruction of death cells by phagocytes. Different types of cell death including apoptosis and necroptosis can express pro- or anti-inflammatory signals via macrophage activity modulation.SUMMARY: Failed or ineffective efferocytosis can result in disruption of tissue homeostasis, which can contribute to the development of chronic inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes, and heart failure. Therefore, any therapeutic strategy that enhances efferocytosis will have a beneficial effect on the treatment of these metabolic disorders.KEYWORDS: apoptosis, necroptosis, phagocytosis, efferocytosis, macrophage.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Colon cancer is still a crucial concern in the development of chemotherapeutic drugs due to the drug resistance phenomenon and various side effects to patients. One of the newest compound that show anticancer activities against several cancer cells, Chemoprevention Curcumin Analog 1 (CCA-1.1), has increasingly been explored to overcome the limitation of conventional drugs.METHODS: We evaluated the anti-migratory effect of CCA-1.1 and Pentagamavunone-1 (PGV-1) by using WiDr colon cancer cells. The expression profiles of Tumor Protein 53 (TP53) and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) in colon cancer were obtained from the UALCAN database. Survival outcomes of TP53 and MMP9 in colon cancer patients were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. We used 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), scratch wound healing, and gelatin zymography assays to observe the cytotoxic effect, anti-migratory activity, and MMP9 expression, respectively, in CCA-1.1 or PGV-1-treated cells.RESULTS: Level of MMP9 was found significantly overexpressed in the primary tumor and metastasis nodal, while TP53 mutation sample types were observed and influenced the survival outcome in colon cancer patients. CCA-1.1 and PGV-1 exhibited strong cytotoxic activity after 24 and 48 h treatment against WiDr cells. The migration assay demonstrated that PGV-1 and CCA-1.1 at 1 mM inhibited cell migration up to 40% after 48 h in single and combination with doxorubicin. The MMP9 expression was significantly inhibited by 0.5 mM CCA-1.1.CONCLUSION: This study emphasizes that the anti-migratory effect of CCA-1.1 is better than PGV-1 via MMP9 suppression on WiDr. Thus, CCA-1.1 is prominent to be developed as an anti-metastatic agent.KEYWORDS: chemopreventive curcumin analog 1.1 (CCA-1.1), PGV-1, WiDr cells, anti-migration, MMP9

Abstract

BACKGROUND: T lymphocyte activation depends on the balance of co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory signals determined by Cluster of Diffrentiation (CD)28 and Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 (PD-1) expression. Alteration in CD28 and PD-1 expression might affect the progression of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Current study was conducted to evaluate the correlations of the CD28 and PD-1 expressions of T lymphocytes and CHB progression.METHODS: Subjects were recruited, selected and divided into 3 groups, inactive CHB, active CHB and CHB with End-Stage Liver Disease (ESLD). HBeAg was determined by using Enzyme-Linked Fluorescence Assay while HBV-DNA was carried out by the RT-PCR method. Numbers of T lymphocytes expressing CD3, CD4, CD8, CD45, CD28 and PD-1 molecules were determined by flowcytometry. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the expression of CD28 by CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes of inactive CHB, active CHB and CHB with ESLD subjects. There was also no significant difference in the expression of PD-1 in CD4+ lymphocytes of inactive CHB, active CHB and ESLD subjects. In contrast there was a significant increase in the expression of PD-1 in CD8+ T lymphocytes of ESLD subjects.CONCLUSION: CD28 expression among CHB subjects was within normal range and not related to disease progression, but PD-1 expression of CD8+ T lymphocyte was increased along with disease progression, especially in CHB subjects with ESLD. This suggests that PD-1-overexpressed CD8+ T lymphocyte play a role in increasing CHB disease progression.KEYWORDS: chronic hepatitis B, CD28, PD-1, T lymphocyte, disease progression

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Hyperglycemia is one of the most common endocrine complications in children with β thalassemia major. Though the current diagnostic marker either requires fasting, has low reproducibility, or it is not an accurate for thalassemia patients. Glycated albumin (GA) is a quick and easy alternative marker for hyperglycemia detection and monitoring of glycemic control. However to date, no studies have analyzed the role of GA value in detection of hyperglycemia in children with thalassemia major. This study analyzed the value of GA as an alternative screening marker for hyperglycemia detection in children with β thalassemia major.METHODS: A single-blind prospective diagnostic test was conducted in 9 to 18 years old children with β thalassemia major and who were treated at the Dr. Moewardi Regional General Hospital between October 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019. In a single, fasted study visit, height, weight, fasting blood glucose (FPG), GA, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were measured. The area under a receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to determine the cut-off value at which hyperglycemia prediction (OGTT ≥140 mg/dL) display optimal sensitivity and specificity. RESULTS: Among the 53 children with β thalassemia major, 1 (1.9%) had diabetes mellitus and 4 (7.5%) had prediabetes based on their OGTT values. The median GA value in this study was 10.9% (range: 7.6–12.4%). GA had a low AUC (0.646, p=0.287) for hyperglycemia detection in pediatric patients with β thalassemia major. At a cut-off of 11.45%, GA demonstrated 60% sensitivity and 60.4% specificity.CONCLUSION: GA cannot be used as an alternative marker for hyperglycemia detection in children with β thalassemia major.KEYWORDS: hyperglycemia, diabetes mellitus, prediabetes, β thalassemia major, glycated albumin

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Sepsis is still leading cause of death in critically ill children. Early recognition of sepsis and treatments are needed to reduce its mortality. The use of citrullinated Histone H3 (Cit-H3) as an early sepsis marker and outcome predictor has been validated in previous studies among adults. However, only one study in pediatric meningococcal sepsis was reported with contradictory results. This study aims to determine Cit-H3 levels in pediatric clinical sepsis and analyze its association with sepsis severity and survival rate.METHODS: A prospective observational cohort study involving 67 pediatric subjects clinically diagnosed with sepsis was conducted. Cit-H3 levels, Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2) score, and Pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA) score were assessed at the time of diagnosis (0-hour) and 48 hours later. Pearson Correlation test was used to determine the correlation between Cit-H3 levels with PELOD-2 and pSOFA scores and receiver operating curve to find the cut-off of Cit-H3 levels on clinical sepsis patients.RESULTS: Among clinically sepsis patients, the median Cit-H3 level was 1,210 (800-32,160) ng/mL, with optimal cut-off point ≥1200 ng/mL (sensitivity 83.3% and specificity 75.7%) to discriminate sepsis. The median Cit-H3 levels at 0-hour were lower in survivor compared to non-survivor group (p=0.016). Cit-H3 level was able to predict mortality with optimal cut-off point ≥1,200 ng/mL, sensitivity 72.2% and specificity 57.1% (AUC of 69.2%; p=0.017). Using survival analysis, Cit-H3 was significantly associated with the mortality rate (p=0.023; hazard ratio of 3.45).CONCLUSION: Cit-H3 level could be potential to predict pediatric sepsis events and its outcome.KEYWORDS: citrullinated histone H3, neutrophil extracellular traps, pediatric sepsis, PELOD-2 score, pSOFA score, survival

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Mitochondria became a driving force in evolution due to their ability to manufacture adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through respiration. The functioning of mitochondria within eukaryotic cells has evolved dramatically as a result of evolution. Recent research has revealed mitochondria form plasticity to keep the cell's needs and function.CONTENT: Mitochondria have long been regarded as the cell's "powerhouse," providing energy for cell metabolism through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). A lot of physiological processes were known to be mediated by mitochondria including immunity and autophagy, cell death mechanism, and stem cell reprogramming. Mitochondria can change their shape to form a tubular network that is controlled by fission and fusion processes. Mitochondrial dynamics is the equilibrium between these two opposing processes that regulates mitochondrial number, size, and positioning within the cytoplasm.SUMMARY: All of these discoveries opened up new research avenues and revealed new targets for targeted medication development. Calorie restriction, and the mimetic agents were developed to increase mitochondria biogenesis to improve human lifespan.KEYWORDS: mitochondria, metabolism, homeostasis, stress response, aging, epigenetic

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The absence of potential biomarkers to detect the metastatic process at an early stage will consequently delay colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. Some biomarkers including β-Catenin, E-Cadherin and N-Cadherin have been suggested as potential markers. However, there were opposite reports regarding expressions of these markers. Therefore, current study was conducted using CRC cell lines for early stage (SW-480 cells) and late stage (HCT-116 cells) of CRC.METHODS: SW-480 and HCT-116 cells were cultured and seeded on coverslip glasses for immunofluorescence staining to detect β-Catenin, E-cadherin, and N-cadherin. Expressions of β-Catenin, E-cadherin, and N-cadherin were observed and documented under a fluorescent microscope and analyzed with Image J software. Measured results were then statistically analyzed. RESULTS: All β-catenin, E-Cadherin and N-Cadherin expressions were observed in SW-480 and HCT-116 cells. β-catenin MFI averages of SW-480 (47.157±3.479) and HCT-116 (47.240±4.107) cells were similar. E-Cadherin MFI average of SW-480 cells (45.104±4.107) was higher than the one of HCT-116 cells (40.191±3.702). N-Cadherin MFI average of HCT-116 cells (43.702±8.219) was significantly higher (p=0.009) than the one of SW-480 cells (72.506±5.297).CONCLUSION: Taken together, N-Cadherin could be suggested as an important metastasis marker in CRC since the N-Cadherin expression was significantly higher in HCT-116 cells as the late-stage CRC model than SW-480 as the early-stage of CRC model. Further research is still needed by comparing several biomarkers from various clinical samples at all clinical stages of CRC.KEYWORDS: CRC, β-Catenin, E-Cadherin, N-Cadherin, Metastasis, Biomarker
