Abstract

For more than four decades, combination chemotherapy (co-chemotherapy) has been employed as a means to increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy regiments. The aim of our research is to investigate the activity of  Moringa oleifera  L. (tanaman kelor) ethanolic extract (MEE) as a co-chemotherapy agent with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on WiDr colon cancer cell line. Evaluation of MEE potency as a co-chemotherapy agent with 5-FU was based on cytotoxic activity based on percent cell viability via MTT  assay, and based on apoptosis observation via the double staining method using acrydin orange – ethidium bromide (AE) as the staining reagent.Cytotoxicity evaluation of single treatment using concentrations of 5, 20, 50, 100,125, and 250 µg/ml of MEE reduced cell viability 24 hours post-treatment. 5, 50, and 250 µg/ml of MEE was chosen as the combination concentrations with 1000 µM 5-FU. MTT assay 24 hours and 48 hours post-combination treatment showed significant cell viability reduction in comparison to those of single treatments. Apoptosis observation using the double staining method shows the presence of apoptotic cells 48 hours post combination treatment. MEE is a potential co-chemotherapy agent  by increasing the sensitivity  of WiDr colon cancer cell line towards 5-FU.

Abstract

Celery (Apium graveolens L.) is commonly used to lower blood pressure, antirheumatic, relaxant, mild diuretic, antiseptic for the urinary tract, antioxidant, and anti-inflammation. According to previous studies, a number of the phytochemicals found in the plant show cytotoxicity toward some types of cancer cells. However, studies on the cytotoxic effects of celery herb ethanolic extract (CEE) on breast cancer cell (T47D), colon cancer cell (WiDr), and cervix cancer cell (HeLa), however, has not been done yet. Our research aims at doing so. Cytotoxicity test was conducted using MTT assay and its absorbance was read using ELISA reader at λ = 595 nm. Results of the assay show that CEE reduces cell viability at concentrations of 100-750 µg/ml on HeLa cells, while reduction of T47D and WiDr cell viability was not achieved until concentrations of 500-750 µg/ml. Based on these results, we conclude that CEE hold many potentials for further developments as preventive and therapeutive agent in cancer treatment.
