BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is generally considered a degenerative joint disease caused by biomechanical changes and the ageing process. In OA pathogenesis, the development of OA is thought to be regulated largely by excess matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), which contributes to the degradation of extracellular matrices such as MMP-1 and Interleukin-4. AIM: This study aims to prove the influence of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Wharton Jelly on decreasing MMP-1 levels and increasing IL-4 which is a specific target as a target component in cases of osteoarthritis in vivo. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This research is an experimental study with the design of Post-Test-Only Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 16 OA rats as a control group and 16 OA rats treated with MSC-WJ as a treatment group. OA induction is done by injection of monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) into the intra-articular right knee. Giving MSC-WJ is done in the third week after MIA induction. The serum MMP-1 and IL-4 levels were measured after 3 weeks treated with MSC-WJ using the ELISA method. The statistical test used is an independent t-test. The value of p < 0.05 was said to be statistically significant. RESULTS: The result showed that serum MMP-1 levels were higher in the group treated with MSC-WJ than in the control group (p < 0.05). Serum IL-4 levels were higher in the group treated with MSC-WJ than in the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study concluded that MSC-WJ increased MMP-1 levels and IL-4 levels in serum OA rats. MSC-WJ showed a negative effect on MMP-1 in the serum of OA rats.

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common diseases among the elderly. OA occurs due to an imbalance between degradation and synthesis in articular joint tissue, causing changes in joint components such as cells, matrices and molecular production. Therefore, knowledge of cartilage-degrading enzymes such as ADAMTS-4 and iNOS is needed. AIM: This study aims to prove the effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Wharton Jelly on decreasing ADAMTS-4 levels as cartilage-degrading enzymes and increasing levels of iNOS which showed the immunosuppressive potential of MSC-WJ in cases of osteoarthritis in vivo. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This research is an experimental study with the design of Post-test-Only Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 16 OA rats as a control group and 16 OA rats treated with MSC-WJ as a treatment group. OA induction is done by injection of monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) into the intra-articular right knee. Giving MSC-WJ is done in the third week after MIA induction. The serum ADAMTS-4 and iNOS levels were measured after 3 weeks treated with MSC-WJ using the ELISA method. The statistical test used is an independent t-test. The value of p < 0.05 was said to be statistically significant. RESULT: The result showed that serum ADAMTS-4 levels were lower in the group treated with MSC-WJ than in the control group, but not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Serum iNOS levels were higher in the group treated with MSC-WJ than in the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study concluded that MSC-WJ significantly reduced ADAMTS-4 levels and increased the serum iNOS levels of OA rats.

Kakadu cream contained 0,1% Kakadu plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana) extract with a high content of phenolic compound, flavonol, tocopherol, luthein, chlorophyll, and ellagic acid has potential to prevent the Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) effect on skin aging acceleration. To date, there’s no in vivo experiment on the effect of kakadu plum extract on collagen nor matrix metalloproteinase-1(MMP-1). This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Kakadu cream administration in inhibiting the increase of MMP-1 expressions and prevent the decrease of collagen amount in mice (Mus musculus) skin exposed to UV-B.   An experimental study with a post-test only control group design was employed in 36 male mice, 6-8 weeks old, weighing 20-25 grams. The samples were divided randomly into two groups, a control group given base cream and the study group, given Kakadu cream 0,1% on their shaved backs, 1 cm2 in size as the UV-B exposure's location. The UV-B irradiation was done three times a week for 4 weeks. The base and Kakadu cream were given twice a day. Comparative analysis was carried out to compare MMP-1 expression and collagen amount in both groups.   The results show that the mean of MMP-1 expression on the study group was significantly lower compared to control group (p<0.001). The mean collagen amount was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (p< 0,001).   From the results, can be concluded that Kakadu cream inhibited the increase MMP-1 expression and prevent the decrease of collagen amount in mice skin exposed to UV-B.

Objective: The efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy in acetaminophen-induced liver injury has been investigated in animal experiments, but individual studies with a small sample size cannot be used to draw a clear conclusion. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical studies to explore the potential of using MSCs in acetaminophen-induced liver injury. Methods: Eight databases were searched for studies reporting the effects of MSCs on acetaminophen hepatoxicity. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used. SYRCLE’s risk of bias tool for animal studies was applied to assess the methodological quality. A meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.4 and STATA/SE 16.0 software. Results: Eleven studies involving 159 animals were included according to PRISMA statement guidelines. Significant associations were found for MSCs with the levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) (standardized mean difference (SMD) − 2.58, p < 0.0001), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (SMD − 1.75, p = 0.001), glutathione (GSH) (SMD 3.7, p < 0.0001), superoxide dismutase (SOD) (SMD 1.86, p = 0.022), interleukin 10 (IL-10) (SMD 5.14, p = 0.0002) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (SMD − 4.48, p = 0.011) compared with those in the control group. The subgroup analysis showed that the tissue source of MSCs significantly affected the therapeutic efficacy (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our meta-analysis results demonstrate that MSCs could be a potential treatment for acetaminophen-related liver injury.

Abstract: Ultraviolet B (UVB) is a source of free radicals that accelerate aging process, especially in the skin by increasing the expression of MMP-1. Tempoyak is rich in nutraceuticals and probiotics that may provide a protective effect against skin exposure to ultraviolet rays. This study was aimed to prove that oral tempoyak could inhibit the increase of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) in UVB-induced rats (Rattus norvegicus). This was a true experimental study with the posttest only control group design. Subjects were 36 female Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), aged 2.5-3 months, weighing180-200 g, divided into 2 groups. The control group (P0) exposed to UVB was given oral aquadest as placebo, while the treatment group (P1) exposed to UVB was given 1 g/200 g body weight of oral tempoyak. After 15 days of treatment, all rats were anesthetized and their skin tissues were taken for examination of MMP-1 expression. The analysis showed that the average of MMP-1 expression in the control group (P0) was 25.26±11.19% meanwhile the average of MMP-1 expression in the treatment group (P1) was 8.67±2.51%. There was a significant difference between the MMP-1 expression of the two groups (P = 0.000). Conclusion: Oral tempoyak could inhibit the increase of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) in UVB-induced rats (Rattus norvegicus).Keywords: tempoyak, MMP-1, UVBAbstrak: Ultraviolet B (UVB) merupakan salah satu sumber radikal bebas yang dapat mempercepat proses penuaan, khususnya penuaan kulit melalui peningkatan ekspresi MMP-1.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease without clear pathophysiological mechanism and effective drugs for treatment. Although various animal models exist, the translation of the outcome into clinics remains difficult due to species differences. In this study, an ex vivo inflammatory OA model was induced using different concentrations of interleukin one beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) on explants from the human femoral head. In the inflammatory OA groups, the gene expression levels of cartilage catabolism (matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1), matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3)), and inflammation (interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8)) markers were significantly upregulated, while the anabolic genes (collagen 2 (COL2), aggrecan (ACAN), and proteoglycan 4 (PRG4)) were downregulated compared to the control group. The release of cytokines (IL-6, IL-8) and nitric oxide (NO) in the conditioned medium was also upregulated in inflammatory OA groups. The Safranin O/Fast Green staining showed loss of proteoglycan in the superficial zone cartilage after cytokine treatment. The results indicated that an ex vivo inflammation and degeneration model was successfully established using osteochondral explants from the human femoral head. This model can be used to elucidate the in-depth mechanism of inflammatory OA and to screen new drugs for OA treatment.

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease in one or more joints characterized by changes in pathological structures such as cartilage, hypertrophy, and remodeling of the subchondral bone and secondary inflammation of the synovium membrane, causing changes in joint components such as cells, matrices, and molecular production. At the molecular level, an imbalance between catabolic and anabolic activities in joint cartilage results in OA. Nuclear factor kappa beta (NFκβ) is a cytokine that plays an important role in the signaling pathway of the pathogenesis of OA in causing an inflammatory reaction, whereas interleukin (IL)-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that is involved in the pathogenesis of OA. AIM: This study aims to prove the influence before and after administration mesenchymal stem cells from Wharton’s jelly on the serum NFκβ and IL-10 levels in OA rat models. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research is an experimental study with the design of post-test-only control group design. The sample consisted of 16 OA rats as a control group and 16 OA rats treated with MSC-WJ as a treatment group. OA induction is done by injection of monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) into the intra-articular right knee. Giving MSC-WJ is done in the 3rd week after MIA induction. The serum NFκβ and IL-10 levels were measured after 3 weeks treated with MSC-WJ using the ELISA method. The statistical test used is an independent t-test. p < 0.05 was said to be statistically significant. RESULTS: From the research results obtained, serum levels of knee OA of rat knee OA treated with mesenchymal stem cell Wharton jelly are lower than serum NFκβ levels of knee OA of the rat that is not treated, but the difference in levels of NFκβ is not significant (p > 0.05). The serum IL-10 level of rat OA of knee treated with mesenchymal stem cell Wharton jelly was higher than the serum IL-10 level of rat OA of the knee that was not treated, difference in levels of IL-10, is significant (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study concluded that MSC-WJ significantly decreased the serum NFκβ levels of OA rats and not significantly increased the serum IL-10 levels of OA rats.
