Abstract

Ischemic stroke is one of major cause of mortality and disability in Indonesia. Stem Cells are considered as a promising therapy for ischemic stroke. In this study, we compared therapeutic potency of Stem cell from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) and Human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell (cbMNC) using rat models of ischemic stroke. Following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), twenty male wistar rats were divided into four groups : normal rats (n=5), rats undergone permanent MCAO (n=5) as the control (stroke) group, rats undergone permanent MCAO and SHED transplantation (n=5) and rats undergone permanent MCAO and cbMNC transplantation (n=5) as the treatment group. SHED transplantation was performed at the acute phase after MCAO by intravenous injection. Histopathological evaluation of the neuron death ratio with hematoxylin and eosin staining confirmed that there was no significant differences at comparative study of neuron death ratio in rats transplanted with SHED and rats transplanted with cbMNC (p=0,81). SHED and cbMNC transplantation at acute stroke showed reduction in the neuron death ratio in the brain of rat models with ischemic stroke, and may provide an opportunity for neuroprotection and neural regeneration after ischemic stroke.

Abstract

Graft-tunnel healing is the most determination factors in successful of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The application of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are one of integration biological augmentation method that often used in ACL reconstruction. Combination intra-articular post ACL reconstruction  is expected to accelerate healing time and integration strength of tendon graft that used in bone tunnel. This method is experimental laboratory using animal model. The research is randomized post test only controlled group design. Five New Zealand white rabbit knee are used for ACL reconstruction with harmstring tendon graft and treated with combination allograft MSC and VEGF intra-articular, while five other rabbit knee as control without treatment. The evaluation is tensile test in third and six weeks post operation. Data was analyzed statistically and comparatively to compare the influence of MSC and VEGF to integration strength of graft tunnel healing. All the samples from treatment and control group found no complication after surgery. On third weeks evaluation, found a difference in failure tension load in both groups but not statistically significant (p>0,05), while on six weeks evaluation, found a statistically significant difference. Treatment group has a failure tension load higher than control group. While failure type of ACL tendon graft on 3 weeks evaluation, only 2 of 5 graft have pullout failure in treatment group. However, at three weeks in control group, the failure type of the tendon graft was a midsubtance rupture in intra-articular part during biomechanical tension test. The use of BM-MSC and VEGF intra-articular can increase tension failure load. It is expected that combination of BM-MSC and VEGF can increase integration process between bone graft and healing post ACL reconstruction, so that rehabilitation and mobilisation can be done earlier.Keywords: Graft-tunnel healing, ACL reconstruction, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell (BMMSC)

Abstract

Immunosuppressant and steroid therapy for SLE have not shown satisfactory results. Another method of therapy that is being developed is vaccines and escalating dose immunotherapy using self-antigen. The aim of this study was to assess the balance of immune cells through the ratio of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cells and cytokines in SLE using self-antigen dsDNA therapy. Methods: Female Balb/c mice 6-8 weeks old separated randomly to negative control group and pristane induced lupus (PIL) mice group. PIL mice groups were injected pristane intraperitoneally. Twelve weeks after the injection, the mice were evaluated for clinical and serological manifestations (anti-dsDNA levels). Mice with lupus signs were divided into four groups; positive control group: PIL mice without EDI dsDNA therapy, treatment A: PIL mice with EDI dsDNA therapy dose I (0.01μg/ml, 0.1μg/ml, 1μg/ml), treatment B: PIL mice with EDI dsDNA therapy dose II (0.1μg/ml, 1μg/ml, 10μg/ml), and treatment C: PIL mice with EDI dsDNA therapy dose III (1μg/ml, 10μg/ml, 100μg/ml). dsDNA were injected once a week and the dose was increased every week. Samples were analyzed for active/inactive dendritic cells ratio, Th1/Th2 cells ratio, Th17/Treg cells ratio and IL-17/TGF-β levels ratio. Results: Escalating dose antigen specific therapy with dsDNA injection of third dose reduced active/inactive dendritic cells ratio (p=0.000), Th1/Th2 cells ratio (p=0.010), Th17/Treg ratio (p=0.004) and decrease IL-17/TGF- β levels ratio (p=0.004) significantly compared to positive control. Conclusion: Escalating dose antigen specific therapy with dsDNA injection of dose III was able to regulate balance ratio of inflammatory cells and cytokines in PIL mice thus the immune tolerance may improve compared to control groups.

Abstract

Successful anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using tendon graft requires good and rapid integration between the tendon graft and the bone tunnel. The strength of the tendon-bone tunnel graft in the initial phase is very important to facilitate aggressive rehabilitation and as early as possible to support rapid recovery to normal activities. The objective of this study was to determine ultimate tension strength (UTS) on the femoral tendon-bone tunnel graft model after reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) by administering allogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stemcells (BM-MSCs) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intratunnel in experimental animals. The design of this research was Post-Test Only Control Group Design using 24 rabbits divided into treatment and control group. Biomechanical evaluation was done at week 3 and 6. Evaluation at week 3 found ultimate tension strength of treatment group significantly higher than control (p <0,05). In the 6th week evaluation, Ultimate tension strength was found that the treatment group significantly higher than the control group (p <0.05). Ultimate tension strength at week 3 did not differ significantly with week 6 (p> 0.05). Intravenous administration of BM-MSCs and VEGF on ACL reconstruction increased ultimate tension strength in graft-bone tunnel significantly since week 3. The study of Ferdiansis et al using BM-MSCs and VEGF intraarticular, only showed a significant increase in ultimate tension strength in graft-bone tunnel since week 6. Comparison of this method indicates acceleration in incorporation of tendon graft with bone tunnel on intratunnel method better thaninvitro intraarticular method.Keywords : Anterior cruciate ligament, allogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, vascular endothelial growth factor and biomechanic study.

Abstract

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) levels were affected by aging. Brain BDNF levels were known to decrease along with advanced age thus correlated with any diseases such as cognitive impairment and Alzheimer. Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) is one of the potential modalities actively investigated against age-related diseases. This study evaluated the effect of human MSC administration to brain BDNF levels in aged rats. Intravenous injection of 10 million per body weight human MSC were given four times in 3 months interval to 22-24 months old female and male Spraque–Dawley rats. As control group, aged rats were injected by normal saline at the same volume and frequencies. Moreover, young 3-6 months rats also examined as negative control.  By the end of the experiment, we analyzed three rats from each group. Brain BDNF levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and normalize to the protein levels. One-way ANOVA and LSD post hoc analysis was performed to compare the differences between groups. BDNF levels in male appeared similar between young, aged, and MSC treated groups. Meanwhile, control aged female groups had significantly lower BDNF levels compared to young (p = 0.019) and MSC-treated aged rats (p = 0.001). There was no difference of BDNF levels between young and MSC-treated aged in female rats (p = 0,068). Both sex had similar BDNF levels (p = 0.249) in control-aged groups. In contrast, female young and MSC-treated aged rats achieved significantly higher BDNF levels (p = 0.009 and p <0.001) compared to the male groups, respectively. These results suggest that human mesenchymal stem cell intravenous injection can increase brain BDNF levels in female aged rats.

Abstract

The success of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a tendon graft is determined by integration in the bone tendon-graft interface on the bone tunnel. The use of stem cells and growth factors proved to accelerate the healing of the bone tendon-graft interface. The aim of this study was to inveestigate the difference of histology picture in the tendon-bone tunnel model after ACL reconstruction with intratunnel intravenous allogenic bone marrow mesenchymalstemcells (BM-MSCs) and intratunnel vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This research used Post-Test Only Control Group design with 20 rabbits divided into treatment group and control group. Each group performed histologic image evaluation (thickness of collagen fiber or sharpey fiber) at week 3 and 6. Evaluation of histology overview at week 3 and week 6 showed a significantly thicker thickness of collagen fiber or sharpey fiber in treatment group compared with control group (p <0.05). Intravenous administration of BM-SCs and VEGF after ACL reconstruction can speed healing of the bone tunnel significantly from week 3 and 6. The study by Faridyan et al has concluded that intravenous BM-SCs + VEGF increased ultimate tension strength in the bone-tendon interface significantly. In this study, intravenous administration of BM-SCs and VEGF gave histologic images showing acceleration of bone tunnel healing.Keywords:Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, allogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, vascular endothelial growth factor, graft tunnel healing, and Sharpey fiber.

Abstract

The mammary gland contains adult stem cells that are capable of self-renewal.  This population plays an important role in the development of mammary gland and breast cancer pathogenesis. The studies of mammary stem cells are limited due to the difficulty to acquire and expand adult stem cell population in an undifferentiated state. In this study, we developed mammosphere cultures of nulliparous cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis; Mf) as a culture system to enrich mammary stem cells. This species has similarity of mammary gland structure as humans including anatomy, developmental stages, and lobule profile of mammary gland. The use of stem cells from primate animals is essential to bridge the knowledge gaps resulting from stem cell research using rodents for clinical trials in human. Small samples of mammary tissues were collected by surgical biopsy; cells were cultured as monolayer and cryopreserved. Cryopreserved cells were cultured into mammospheres, and the expression of markers for mammary stem cells was evaluated using qPCR. Cells were further differentiated with 3D approaches to evaluate morphology and organoid budding. The study showed that mammosphere culture resulted in an increase in the expression of mammary stem cell markers with each passage. The 3D differentiation in matrigel allowed for organoid formation. Mammary gland stem cells have been successfully differentiated which characterized by CSN2 marker expression and differentiation regulators marker STAT5 and GATA3. The results indicate that mammospheres can be successfully developed derived from breast tissue of nulliparous Mf collected via surgical biopsy. As the mammosphere allows for enrichment of mammary stem cell population, the findings also suggest that a 3-dimensional system is efficient as in-vitro model to study mammary stem cells and a useful system to study mammary differentiation in regards to cancer prevention.

Abstract

Cellular plasticity is the concept of bidirectional dynamics change cells differentiation degree which involved in the regeneration, repair and tissue turnover along the organism livespan. Cellular plasticity and dedifferentiation process are well documented in the discovery of iPCSs by introducing several transcriptional factors known as Yamanaka factor to terminally differentiated somatic cells and reverted into pluripotent state as the ESCs. iPSCs are able to exhibit ESCs differentiation potential which could produce ectodermic, mesodermic, and endodermic cell lineage. In tumour biology, the tumour plasticity also have a similar regulation and play an imporant role for maintaining tumour integrity and survival, particularly in maintaining CSCs population. Various study of cellular plasticity regulation has shown that various factors are involved, in example hypoxia, cell injury, and inflammation. Cells respond to hypoxia, cell injury, and inflammation by chemoattractant which attract repair cells to homing towards injured sites. The homing mechanism of stem cells involved EMT to facilitates migration of stem cells towards injured sites, thus leading to tissue regeneration. On the other hand, cancer metastasis also showed a connection with EMT process. EMT which showed a change in cell properties are linked to dedifferentiation and hypoxia response. Hypoxia condition has been known to preserve and both normal stem cells and CSCs stemness. HIF which protected from degradation in hypoxia condition interact with DNA by binding to HRE. HRE activation trigger transcription of numerous signalling protein which involved in stemness, cell proliferation and survival. Therefore it is concluded that cell injury, hypoxia, and inflammation could programmed cells to undergo dedifferentiation process and involved in EMT regulations. CSCs which resides insides heterogeneous tumour cells population are though to be dynamicly regulate itself in the quietscent and active state through dedifferentiation like the normal stem cells. Understanding how CSCs regulates its active an quietscent state dynamics could provide an important information for novel CSCs targeted therapy development.

Abstract

In this study, polycaprolactone-collagen nanofiber was prepared with 10% w/v composition using a mixture of chloroform-formic acid. PCL was dissolved in chloroform while collagen was dissolved in formic acid. This research carried out optimization of electrospinning parameters such as flow rate, running time, and collector type to obtain optimum and suitable nanofiber to be applied as wound dressing. The most optimum nanofiber is made with flow rate 0.01 μL/h, running time is 3 hours, and using cylinder collector type. Characterization was performed for five different types of PCL-collagen nanofiber with different treatment, which nanofiber made with cylinder collector, plate collector, addition ofcitric acid, heating treatment, and nanofiber without the addition of collagen. PCL-collagen nanofiber produces smaller diameter about 200 - 600 nm. Based on the test of mechanical properties, addition of collagen causes its mechanical properties to be lower when compared to addition of crosslinking agents by heating or citric acid. The cytotoxicity test was carried out for PCL, PCL-collagen withaddition of citric acid, and PCL-collagen nanofiber treated by heating. PCL was chosen to compare the effect of collagen addition onnanofiber against cell viability. Collagen has an important role for growth, proliferation, and differentiation of cells in tissue engineering. PCL-collagen nanofiber which treated by heating provides better viability of 83.09% while compared to nanofiber with addition of citric acid, because citric acid acidic properties causing the environment around nanofiber have an extreme pH, it may affect the growth of cells and reduce its viability.Keywords:Nanofiber, PCL, collagen, electrospinning, wound dressing, MTT Assay
