"Circulating tumor cell (CTC) merupakan intermediet proses metastasis kanker yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk diagnosis, prognosis, dan target pengobatan kanker. Pengembangan pemanfaatan CTC dapat dilakukan dengan penelitian yang umumnya melibatkan proses kultur. Medium bebas serum dinilai lebih baik dibanding medium berserum karena dapat menghasilkan data yang lebih konsisten, sehingga lebih cocok digunakan untuk penelitian yang mengkaji aktivitas fisiologi sel dan persinyalan molekular. Namun, medium bebas serum memerlukan suplemen agar sel dapat tumbuh optimum. Penambahan suplemen insulin-transferrin-selenium (ITS) telah diketahui memiliki peran penting dalam kultur sel keratosit, ovarium, dan keratinosit. Namun, belum diketahui peran ITS dalam medium bebas serum untuk kultur CTC. Penelitian ini mengkaji perbedaan efek FBS dan ITS dengan konsentrasi 1X dan 10X dalam medium bebas serum terhadap CTC yang diisolasi dengan metode eritrolisis. Kultur dilakukan selama 18 hari. Dinamika CTC dan leukosit diamati dengan meninjau viabilitasnya pada 6 hari pertama kutur. Selain itu, observasi morfologi dilakukan seiring dengan pengukuran morfometri sel. Pada hari ke-18, keberadaan CTC diverifikasi dengan imunofluoresens menggunakan marka cytokeratin 20 (CK20) dan plastin 3 (PLS3). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa CTC yang dikultur pada medium dengan penambahan 10X ITS memiliki diameter sel yang lebih besar dari yang dikultur pada medium dengan penambahan 1X ITS dan 10% FBS. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa ITS memiliki peran penting dalam kultur CTC dalam medium bebas serum dan dalam konsentrasi 10X dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan CTC kanker kolorektal.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are intermediates in the cancer metastasis process and hold potential for use in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment targeting. The development of CTC applications typically involves research incorporating cell culture processes. In cell culture, serum-free media are considered superior to serum-containing media as they yield more consistent data, making them more suitable for studies examining cell physiological activity and molecular signaling. However, serum-free media require supplementation to ensure optimal cell growth. The addition of insulin-transferrin-selenium (ITS) supplements is known to play a crucial role in the culture of keratocytes, ovarian cells, and keratinocytes. However, the role of ITS in serum-free media for CTC culture remains unknown. This study investigates the differential effects of fetal bovine serum (FBS) and ITS at concentrations of 1X and 10X in serum-free media on CTCs isolated via erythrolysis. Cultures were maintained for 18 days, with CTC and leukocyte dynamics observed by assessing cell viability during the first six days of culture. Additionally, morphological observations and cell morphometric measurements were conducted. On the 18^th day, the presence of CTCs was verified using immunofluorescence with cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and plastin 3 (PLS3) markers. The results indicated that CTCs cultured in media supplemented with 10X ITS exhibited larger cell diameters compared to those cultured with 1X ITS and 10% FBS. This finding suggests that ITS plays a critical role in the successful culture of CTCs in serum-free media and that a 10X concentration of ITS can enhance the growth of colorectal cancer CTCs."

"Senyawa yang memiliki aktivitas modulasi reseptor estrogen diperlukan untuk pengobatan osteoporosis dengan cara meningkatkan aktivitas pembentukan osteoblas (osteoblastogenesis). Senyawa antrakinon dan stilbena yang terdapat dalam tanaman genus Rheum dilaporkan memiliki aktivitas terhadap reseptor estrogen.Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengungkap efek osteoblastogenesis dari tanaman asli Indonesia yaitu akar kelembak (Rheum officinale Baill) yang diekstraksi menggunakan etanol 70%. Ekstrak ini diuji aktivitasnya pada sel 3T3 L1 preadiposit dalam media diferensiasi osteogenik pada konsentrasi 25, 50, 75, 100, dan 125 μg/mL. Sel 3T3 L1 dapat berdiferensiasi menjadi osteoblas yang ditandai dengan terbentuknya warna biru pada pewarnaan alkali fosfatase (ALP). Kadar ALP menurun berturut-turut pada konsentrasi 75, 100, dan 125 μg/ml. Tidak terjadi mineralisasi osteoblas yang ditunjukkan dengan negatifnya pewarnaan alizarin merah.Hasil pemeriksaan ekspresi mRNA dengan Reverse Transcriptase PCR (RT PCR) menunjukkan bahwa ekspresi gen key regulator diferensiasi osteoblas yaitu Runx2 dan BMP-2 cenderung meningkat sesuai dengan naiknya konsentrasi ekstrak. Sebaliknya, ekspresi gen reseptor estrogen α (ER α) dan β (ER β) cenderung menurun sesuai dengan naiknya konsentrasi ekstrak. Konsentrasi ekstrak paling efektif untuk meningkatkan diferensiasi osteoblas adalah 50 μg/mL karena pada konsentrasi ini terjadi peningkatan kadar alkali fosfatase, peningkatan ekspresi Runx2 dan BMP-2 dan penurunan ekspresi ER α.

Compounds with estrogen receptor modulation activity are necessary to treat osteoporosis by increasing osteoblast formation activity (osteoblastogenesis). Anthraquinone and stilbene compounds from genus Rheum have been reported to exert modulation activity toward estrogen receptors.This research aimed to reveal osteoblastogenesis activity of an Indonesian native plant, akar kelembak (Rheum officinale Baill.) extracted with 70% ethanol. The extract obtained was tested on 3T3 L1 preadipocyte cell lines cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium with concentrations of extract of 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 μg/mL . The differentiations of these cells were marked by blue staining of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining. The ALP level decrease progressively at 75, 100, and 125 μg/mL. No mineralized nodules or positive alizarin red staining was observed. mRNA expression level of osteoblastic markers were detected by Reverse Transcriptase PCR (RT PCR).The results indicate that the key regulator genes of osteogenesis differentiation, Runx2 and BMP-2, tend to increased, while estrogen receptor α (ER α) and β (ER β) tend to decreased, in a dose-dependent manner. It was suggested that osteogenic differentiation was best stimulated at concentration of 50 μg/mL based on the increase of alkaline phosphatase level as well as mRNA level of Runx2 and BMP-2, while mRNA level of ER α was decreased."

Dengue fever (DF) is an disease caused by dengue virus infection (DENV). From 2010 to 2016, there has been a sixfold increase of DF cases globally. However, therapy for DF currently only consist of supportive treatments. Curcuma longa (turmeric) extract has been studied and its potential antiviral activity against dengue serotype 2 virus was found but inhibitory mechanism is still unknown. This research aims to find the inhibitory effect of turmeric extract against cell receptor and attachment protein of DENV-2 in vitro and binding energy between curcumin and dengue protein E in silico.

Experimental, in vitro study was done to analyze inhibitory mechanism of turmeric extract as antivirus to DENV-2 using Vero cell as test cell. In silico calculation of binding energy between curcumin and DENV protein E was also done using a docking software. Focus assay and MTT assay were used to evaluate receptor and viral attachment protein inhibition as well as cell viability, respectively. Turmeric extract concentration used was twice of IC50 (17,91 μg/mL) . DMSO was used as control.

Inhibition percentage on cell receptor and viral attachment protein yielded 98,67±1,33% and 2,29±1,19% respectively. Viability percentage of the cells after treatment with turmeric extract is 97,07 ± 0,50%. Binding energy at the best conformation between curcumin and viral protein E is -2.71 kcal/mol with inhibition constant of 10,34 mM. Turmeric extract has a higher inhibition effect against cell receptor compared to viral attachment protein and has a relatively strong bond with protein E."
