Abstract

Context: Histological quantification of osteoclasts and osteoblasts can evaluate biological responses to orthodontic tooth movement. Histological analysis of bone samples can be technically challenging.

Aims: To evaluate the differences between hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in quantifying osteoblast and osteoclast cells following the application of static orthodontic force.

Methods: Orthodontic force was applied using a rubber separator around the maxilla incisor of Cavia porcellus. Tooth samples were taken at 0, 4, 8, 14, 21, and 28 days after applying orthodontic force. HE and IHC staining quantify osteoblast and osteoclast cells in the alveolar bone. IHC staining, i.e., Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, was used to identify osteoclasts, and osteocalcin (OCN) staining was used to identify osteoblasts.

Results: Significantly higher numbers of osteoclasts and osteoblasts were observed with IHC compared to HE staining (p<0.05). Significant positive linear correlations in the numbers of osteoclasts (r = 0.757) and osteoblasts (r = 0.622) identified were observed between IHC and HE staining.

Conclusions: The results of this study indicate HE staining may represent an acceptable alternative method of quantifying osteoclasts and osteoblasts in the preliminary research of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM).

Keywords: hematoxylin; immunohistochemistry; orthodontic; osteocalcin; tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase.

Resumen

Contexto: La cuantificación histológica de osteoclastos y osteoblastos puede evaluar las respuestas biológicas al movimiento dental ortodóncico. El análisis histológico de muestras de hueso puede ser técnicamente desafiante.

Objetivos: Evaluar las diferencias entre la tinción con hematoxilina y eosina (HE) y la inmunohistoquímica (IHC) en la cuantificación de células de osteoblastos y osteoclastos después de la aplicación de fuerza ortodóncica estática.

Métodos: Se aplicó fuerza de ortodoncia utilizando un separador de goma alrededor del incisivo maxilar de Cavia porcellus. Se tomaron muestras de dientes a los 0, 4, 8, 14, 21 y 28 días después de aplicar la fuerza de ortodoncia. La tinción con HE e IHC cuantifica las células de osteoblastos y osteoclastos en el hueso alveolar. Se usó tinción IHC, es decir, tinción con fosfatasa ácida resistente a tartrato (TRAP), para identificar osteoclastos, y tinción con osteocalcina (OCN) para identificar osteoblastos.

Resultados: Se observaron números significativamente más altos de osteoclastos y osteoblastos con IHC en comparación con la tinción con HE (valor de p<0,05). Se observaron correlaciones lineales positivas significativas en el número de osteoclastos (r = 0,757) y osteoblastos (r = 0,622) identificados entre la tinción IHC y HE.

Conclusiones: Los resultados de este estudio indican que la tinción HE puede representar un método alternativo aceptable para cuantificar osteoclastos y osteoblastos en la investigación preliminar del movimiento dental ortodóncico (OTM).

Abstract

Context: Medicinal plants can be used as an option for the prevention and reduction of cancer cell resistance and its side effects. Sisyrinchium palmifolium L. is thought to have anti-cancer activity with a compound content of 1,4-naphthoquinone.

Aims: To determine the effect of S. palmifolium extract (SPE) with the main compound 1,4-naphthoquinone on Ki-67 expression by in vivo, and CDK1, CDK2, and CDK4 activity by in silico in colonic epithelial cells of BALB/ c mice induced by azoxymethane (AOM) dextran sodium sulfate (DSS).

Methods: Dayak onion (S. palmifolium) was extracted using 96% ethanol as a solvent. The S. palmifolium extract was then made into tablet form by the wet granulation method. Mice that had been induced with AOM-DSS were given S. palmifolium extract therapy. Twenty samples were used, which were divided into five groups. Mice colon tissue was assessed using Ki-67 immunohistochemistry. This study also used the in silico method to see the effect of 1,4-naphthoquinone compounds from S. palmifolium extract on the expression of CDK1, CDK2 and CDK4 with PDB codes 6GU6, 6GUC, and 1GIH.

Results: Ki-67 expression values were 26 ± 6.51 cells at low dosages, 15 ± 1.73 cells at moderate doses, and 11 ± 1.04 cells at high doses. Between the test groups, there was a statistical differences (p<0.05) with the Post Hoc Mann-Whitney test. At the 6GUC receptor, the mean rerank score of the 1,4-naphtoquinone molecule, which was closest to the native ligand, was -54.6572 ± 2.2722 and -90.5455 ± 1.6524kcal/mole. The steric bond on the amino acid lys 33 (A), which exclusively occurs at the 6GUC receptor, was the only commonality of contact.

Conclusions: 1,4-Naphthoquinone from Sisyrinchium palmifolium L. extract could decrease Ki-67 expression by in vivo, which cloud induce a decrease in epithelial cells proliferation in colon cancer, but has no potential as an inhibitor activity of CDK1, CDK2, and CDK4 by in silico.

Keywords: Dayak onion; immunohistochemistry; 1,4-naphthoquinone.

Resumen

Contexto: Las plantas medicinales pueden usarse como una opción para la prevención y reducción de la resistencia de las células cancerosas y sus efectos secundarios. Se cree que Sisyrinchium palmifolium L. tiene actividad anticancerígena con un contenido compuesto de 1,4-naftoquinona.

Objetivos: Determinar el efecto del extracto de S. palmifolium (SPE) con el compuesto principal 1,4-naftoquinona sobre la expresión de Ki-67 in vivo y la actividad de CDK1, CDK2 y CDK4 in silico en células epiteliales colónicas de ratones BALB/c inducida por azoximetano (AOM) dextrano sulfato de sodio (DSS).

Métodos: La cebolla de Dayak (S. palmifolium) se extrajo usando etanol al 96% como solvente. Luego, el extracto de S. palmifolium se transformó en forma de tableta mediante el método de granulación en húmedo. Los ratones que habían sido inducidos con AOM DSS recibieron terapia con extracto de S. palmifolium. Se utilizaron veinte muestras, las cuales se dividieron en cinco grupos. El tejido de colon de ratones se evaluó usando inmunohistoquímica Ki-67. Este estudio también usó el método in silico para ver el efecto de los compuestos de 1,4-naftoquinona del extracto de S. palmifolium sobre la expresión de CDK1, CDK2 y CDK4 con los códigos PDB 6GU6, 6GUC y 1GIH.

Resultados: Los valores de expresión de Ki-67 fueron 26 ± 6,51 células a dosis bajas, 15 ± 1,73 células a dosis moderadas y 11 ± 1,04 células a dosis altas. Entre los grupos de prueba, hubo diferencias estadísticas (p<0,05) con la prueba Post Hoc Mann-Whitney. En el receptor 6GUC, la puntuación de reclasificación media de la molécula de 1,4-naftoquinona, que era la más cercana al ligando nativo, fue -54,6572 ± 2,2722 y -90,5455 ± 1,6524 kcal/mol. El enlace estérico en el aminoácido lys 33 (A), que ocurre exclusivamente en el receptor 6GUC, fue el único elemento común del contacto.

Conclusiones: La 1,4-naftoquinona del extracto de Sisyrinchium palmifolium L. podría disminuir la expresión de Ki-67 in vivo, lo que induce una disminución en la proliferación de células epiteliales en el cáncer de colon, pero no tiene potencial como inhibidor de la actividad de CDK1, CDK2 y CDK4 in silico.

Abstract

Context: Gallic acid and quercetin in sikkam leaves (Bischofia javanica) have scientific potential as antidiabetic agents. Quercetin suppresses hyperglycemia by inhibiting active glucose transport. Meanwhile, gallic acid acts as an antidiabetic is closely related to its antioxidant properties. Antioxidant compounds neutralize cells that experience oxidative stress by donating their hydrogen atoms.

Aims: To analyze the degree of insulitis and insulin expression in the pancreatic cells of rats induced diabetes mellitus (DM) after giving B. javanica leaves extract.

Methods: The treatment groups consisted of G0: negative control (-); G1: positive control (alloxan induction + standard feed); G2: alloxan induction + 300 mg/kg BW of B. javanica leaves ethanol extract; G3: alloxan induction + 600 mg/kg BW of B. javanica leaves ethanol extract; G4: alloxan induction + ethanol extract of B. javanica leaves 900 mg/kg BW and G5: alloxan induction + glibenclamide 4.5 mg/kg BW. At day 28, the rats were sacrificed, and the pancreatic tissue dissected. This was analyzed for degree of insulitis and insulin expression by anti-insulin antibodies using immunohistochemistry and hematoxylin-eosin.

Results: There was a significant difference (p = 0.000) in insulin expression and insulitis degree. By the increase of B. javanica leaves dose, the insulin expression value also increased, and the degree of insulitis in Langerhans’ islets of DM rats was decreased. Islets of Langerhans in insulin production returned to normal after being given B. javanica ethanol extract 900 mg/kg BW like glibenclamide.

Conclusions: Bischofia javanica ethanol extract increased insulin production and reduced the degree of insulitis in the islets of Langerhans histology. Further research is needed to determine the extent to which this extract protects from the sequelae of diabetes.

Resumen

Contexto: El ácido gálico y la quercetina en las hojas de sikkam (Bischofia javanica) tienen potencial científico como agentes antidiabéticos. La quercetina suprime la hiperglucemia al inhibir el transporte activo de glucosa. Mientras tanto, el ácido gálico actúa como antidiabético y está muy relacionado con sus propiedades antioxidantes. Los compuestos antioxidantes neutralizan las células que experimentan estrés oxidativo al donar sus átomos de hidrógeno.

Objetivos: Analizar el grado de insulitis y expresión de insulina en las células pancreáticas de ratas inducidas por diabetes mellitus (DM) tras la administración de extracto de hojas de B. javanica.

Métodos: Los grupos de tratamiento estuvieron constituidos por G0: control negativo (-); G1: control positivo (inducción de aloxano + alimentación estándar); G2: inducción de aloxano + 300 mg/kg de peso corporal de extracto de etanol de hojas de B. javanica; G3: inducción de aloxano + 600 mg/kg de peso corporal de extracto de etanol de hojas de B. javanica; G4: inducción de aloxano + extracto etanólico de B. javanica hojas 900 mg/kg de peso corporal y G5: inducción de aloxano + glibenclamida 4,5 mg/kg de peso corporal. En el día 28, las ratas fueron sacrificadas y el tejido pancreático disecado. Este se analizó para determinar el grado de insulitis y expresión de insulina mediante anticuerpos antiinsulina usando inmunohistoquímica y hematoxilina-eosina.

Resultados: Hubo una diferencia significativa (p = 0,000) en la expresión de insulina y el grado de insulitis. Al aumentar la dosis de hojas de B. javanica, aumentó el valor de expresión de insulina y disminuyó el grado de insulitis en el islotes de Langerhans de ratas con DM. Los islotes de Langerhans en la producción de insulina volvieron a la normalidad después de recibir el extracto etanólico de B. javanica 900 mg/kg de peso corporal al igual que glibenclamida.

Conclusiones: El extracto de etanol de Bischofia javanica aumentó la producción de insulina y redujo el grado de insulitis en la histología de los islotes de Langerhans. Se necesitan más investigaciones para determinar hasta qué punto este extracto protege de las secuelas de la diabetes.
