DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes complement DNA according to single strand template DNA. This enzyme is produced in all living organism, but the thermostabile ones are more favoured because less prone to denaturation in polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The enzyme can be acquired by isolating the enzyme from the native bacteria or manufacturing recombinant gene then insert it into a host that is easier to be cultivated. The main purpose of this study is to acquire the enzyme by manufacturing recombinant gene and utilizing Escherichia coli as the host. The recombinant DNA polymerase manufacturing is based on thermophilic bacteria Geobacillus thermoleovorans from Batu Kuwung Hotspring, Serang, Banten which has been previously isolated and went through whole genome sequence process. DNA polymerase that will be produced is DNA pol I that is known has low fidelity. There are two genes that are cloned into pET23d vector, such as full gene (2637 bp) and partial gene (1737 bp). DNA pol I gene is the subject to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify before being cut with restriction enzymes of NcoI and BamHI. The cut genes then are inserted into pET23d that is also cut with the same enzymes. The acquired plasmids then is transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 for protein expression assay. PCR analysis shows that the DNA pol I both full and partial are successfully cloned into pET23d. The successes are also supported from intercellular DNA pol I protein test expression assay in E. coli. This foundings indicate that the DNA pol I from Geobacillus thermoleovorans isolated from Batu Kuwung hot spring, Serang, Banten, is successfully cloned and expressed by E. coli."

"LATAR BELAKANG: Endometriosis merupakan penyakit ginekologis kronis yang ditandai dengan adanya jaringan mirip endometrium diluar rongga uterus. Endometriosis merupakan penyebab infertilitas dan nyeri pelvik paling umum dan memengaruhi 1 dari 10 wanita usia reproduktif. Progesteron memiliki peran yang penting dalam uterus yaitu mengontrol proliferasi dan diferensiasi. Disregulasi progesteron dapat menyebabkan gangguan fungsi uterus. Resistensi progesteron banyak ditemukan pada endometriosis dan dikaitkan dengan kadar PGR yang rendah. PGR memiliki dua isoform yaitu PGR-A dan PGR-B. Hingga saat ini masih banyak pendapat yang berbeda mengenai ekspresi isoform PGR-A dan B pada endometriosis. Hipermetilasi pada daerah promotor suatu gen diyakini sebagai salah satu penyebab gene silencing yang berakibat rendahnya kadar gen tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh faktor epigenetik pada reseptor hormon progesteron pada jaringan endometriosis.METODE: Penelitian ini merupakan studi kasus kontrol yang membandingkan 20 wanita penderita endometriosis dan 20 wanita bukan penderita endometriosis. Analisis metilasi DNA dilakukan dengan metode MSP dan ekspresi mRNA dengan metode qPCR. Analisis statistik yang dilakukan adalah uji t tidak berpasangan, uji Mann Whitney, uji korelasi Pearson, uji korelasi Spearman?s Rho, Uji Annova One Way dan Uji Kruskal-wallis dengan kemaknaan p<0.05.HASIL: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat metilasi pada wanita dengan endometriosis (98,72%) secara signifikan lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kontrol (3,74%) dengan p=0,000. Selain itu, terjadi penurunan ekspresi mRNA isoform PGR-A dan PGR-B (2,35 kali dan 6,37 kali). Terdapat korelasi antara tingkat metilasi dengan ekspresi mRNA isoform PGR-B (p=0,000; r=-0,736), namun tidak terdapat korelasi dengan ekspresi mRNA isoform PGR-A (p>0,05).KESIMPULAN: Daerah promotor gen PGR mengalami hipermetilasi pada endometriosis dibandingkan dengan kontrol dan berkaitan dengan penurunan kadar PGR-B pada endometriosis.

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder, defined as the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside of the uterine cavity. Endometriosis is the most common causes of infertility and pelvic pain and affects 1 of 10 women in the reproductive-age group. Progesterone plays an important role in uterine. It controls endometrial proliferation and differentiation. Dysregulation of progesterone signaling leads to impaired for uterine function. Progesterone resistance has been found in endometriosis and associated with the low levels of PGR. PGR has two isoforms, PGR-A and PGR-B. Since promoter hypermethylation is associated with gene silencing, we try to determine the methylation status of PGR promoter region in endometriosis tissue using methylation spesific PCR and its association with the expression of PGR-A and PGR-B isoforms using real-time PCR.

Methods: this research is a case-control study, comparing 20 women with endometriosis and 20 women without endometriosis. Methylation status was analyzed with methylaion spesific PCR and the expression of mRNA was analyzed with real-time PCR. Statistical analyses were t-independent test, Mann Whitney test, Pearson test, Spearman?s rho test, Annova One Way test and Kruskal-Wallis test, a two-tailed p value less than 0,05 was considered significant.

Result: We found that methylation status in women with endometriosis (98,72%) was significantly higher than women without endometriosis (3,74%), statistically significant associations with the disease (p=0,000). Beside, mRNA expression of PGR-A and PGR-B isoform was down regulated (2,35 fold and 6,37 fold). Correlation between methylation status and PGR-B expression was significant (p=0,000;r=-0,736), but not PGR-A (p>0,05).

Conclusion: Promoter regions of PGR is hypermethylated in endometriosis as compared with control. This findings suggest that the promoter hypermethylation of PGR may contribute to the pathogenesis of this disease."
