"Experimental studies have shown that dental pulp tissue has potential to regenerate dentine in response to adversestimuli, such as caries and associated operative procedures. However, the potential of dental pulp regeneration seems tobe limited by regenerative capacity of the cell involved. In this study, we report the effect of transfection of arecombinant plasmid containing human BMP-2 gene in proliferation and differentiation of dental pulp tissue in vitro.The regenerative capacity was analyzed by ALP production and calcium content. Results showed that the transfecteddental pulp cell was able to differentiate into the odontoblast phenotype, indicating the presence of odontoblastprogentitor cells in dental pulp tissue."

"Sebagian besar bakteri asam laktat (BAL) menghasilkan eksopolisakarida (biopolimer fruktan) yang mempunyai banyak manfaat dalam industri makanan, kosmetik, kesehatan dan farmasi. Sintesis biopolimer ini melibatkan peran enzim fruktansukrase atau fruktosiltransferase (ftf). Rekayasa genetika dapat dilakukan untuk mendapatkan biopolimer yang berkriteria unggul, yaitu biopolimer inulin yang mempunyai derajat polimerisasi tinggi. Weissella confusa galur MBFCNC-2(1) telah menjadi sumber gen fruktansukrase yang dikloning lengkap di inang E. coli BL21 StarTM.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan klon versi terpenggal dari gen fruktansukrase karena klon gen lengkap dilaporkan mempunyai masalah dalam ekspresinya. Sebagai template untuk kloning digunakan plasmid dari E. coli BL21 StarTM rekombinan, plasmid rekombinan pO_ftfNS pembawa gen lengkap, dan DNA genomik. PCR dilakukan menggunakan primer FTFdel_Fw dan FTFdel_Rv. Hasil PCR disekuensing dan dianalisis menggunakan BLAST. Sebagai hasil, gen fruktansukrase versi terpenggal didapatkan dari plasmid rekombinan pO_ftfNS pembawa gen ftf lengkap.

Most of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) produce exopolysaccharide (fructan biopolymer) that has many advantages in food, cosmetic, health, and pharmacy industries. Synthesis of this biopolymer involves the role of fructansucrase enzyme of fructosyltransferase (ftf). Genetic engineering could be done to obtain biopolymer with excellence characteristcs, that is inulin with high degree of polymerization. Weisella confusa strain MBFCNC-2(1) has been used as a source of fructansucrase gene which is full-length clonned at E. coli BL21 StarTM.The aim of this study was to obtain truncated gene of fructansucrase because fulllength clone has problem on its expression. The PCR template used in this study were plasmid of Recombinant E coli BL21 StarTM, recombinant plasmid pO_ftfNS carrying full-length gene, and genomic DNA. PCR was carried out by FTFdel_Fw and FTFdel_Rv primer. The PCR product was sequenced and analyzed by using BLAST. Result revealed that truncated fructansucrase gene was obtained from plasmid recombinant pO_ftfNS carrying full-length gene."

"Indonesian Journal of Dentistry 2006; Edisi Khusus KPPIKG XIV: 87-91Quorum sensing systems has been identified as one of mechanism carried out by numerous Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria to coordinate virulence and biofilm development. Using quorum sensing, bacterial colonies synchronize gene expression and phenotype change allowing them to protect their niche. The purpose of this review is to present a synopsis of the literature on bacterial quorum sensing and we highlight the role of specific signaling molecules that might be used as a target of inhibitor agent in dental preventive perspective.;Quorum sensing systems has been identified as one of mechanism carried out by numerous Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria to coordinate virulence and biofilm development.
