"Latar belakang : Cisplatin adalah pilihan utama dalam penatalaksanaan kanker ovrium secara farmakologi. Namun, disisi lain cisplatin dapat menyebabkan kerusakan ginjal. Kerusakan ginjal akibat Cisplatin salah satunya terjadi karena perubahan aktivitas sistem endotelin ginjal sebagai pengatur hemodinamik ginjal. Secara teori kerusakan ini dapat dikurangi dengan pemberian ko-kemoterapi cisplatin yang memiliki sifat renoprotektif. Salah satu agen renoprotektif adalah Kurkumin. Salah satu manfaat kurkumin dapat mengurangi kerusakan ginjal karena bersifat renoprotektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek pemberian kurkumin sebagai ko-kemoterapi cisplatin terhadap ekspresi reseptor endothelin B (ETBR) dan gambaran hitopatologi pada ginjal tikus model kanker ovarium.Metode: Dua puluh empat tikus Wistar betina (150-200 gram) berusia 5 minggu dikelompokan menjadi empat kelompok: Normal (N), Kanker Ovarium tanpa pemberian obat (Ca), Cisplatin (Cis) adalah kelompok tikus kanker ovarium yang mendapat terapi cisplatin 4mg/KgBB selama tiga minggu, Cisplatin+Kurkumin (Cis+Cur) adalah kelompok tikus kanker ovarium yang diberi cisplatin 4mg/KgBB+ curcumin 100mg/KgBB selama tiga minggu. Setelah memasuki minggu ke-24, tikus dikorbankan dan diambil jaringan ginjal untuk dilakukan pengamatan secara histologi dan molekular.Hasil: gambaran histologi ginjal menunjukan perubahan struktur abrnomal. Akan tetapi perubahan struktur menuju kerusakan ginjal pada penelitian ini tidak signifikan. Selanjutnya, pengamatan ekspresi ETBR didapati ekspresi tertinggi pada kelompok tikus normal (N) dan terendah pada kelompok tikus dengan pemberian Cisplatin dan Kurkumin (Cis+Cur) dengan nilai p pada uji ANOVA Satu Arah sebesar 0.087 (signifikan jika p<0,05).Kesimpulan: pemberian kurkumin sebagai ko-kemoterapi cisplatin pada tikus model kanker ovarium tidak menyebabkan perubahan struktur histologi yang bermakna dan tidak menyebabkan peningkatan ekspresi ETBR yang signifikan.

Background: Cisplatin is the main choice in pharmacological treatment of ovarian cancer. However, cisplatin can cause kidney damage. One of the causes of kidney damage due to cisplatin occurs due to changes in the activity of the renal endothelin system as a renal hemodynamic regulator. In theory, this damage can be reduced by giving cisplatin co-chemotherapy which has renoprotective properties. One of the renoprotective agents is curcumin. One of the benefits of curcumin is to reduce kidney damage because it is renoprotective. This study aims to determine the effect of curcumin administration as co-chemotherapy of cisplatin on endothelin B receptor expression (ETBR) and the histopathological description of ovarian cancer model rats.

Methods: Twenty-four female Wistar rats (150-200 grams) aged 5 weeks were grouped into four groups: Normal (N), Ovarian Cancer without drug administration (Ca), Cisplatin (Cis) is a group of ovarian cancer mice receiving 4mg/KgBB cisplatin therapy for three weeks, Cisplatin + Curcumin (Cis + Cur) is a group of ovarian cancer mice that were given cisplatin 4mg / KgBB + curcumin 100mg / KgBB for three weeks. After entering the 24th week, the rats were sacrificed and kidney tissue was taken for histological and molecular observation.

Result: The histology of the kidneys showed an abnormal structural change. However, the structural changes leading to kidney damage in this study were not significant. Furthermore, observations of ETBR expression found the highest expression in the normal (N) group

of rats and the lowest in the group of rats given Cisplatin and Curcumin (Cis + Cur) with a p value in the One Way ANOVA test of 0.087 (significant if p <0.05).

Conclusion: giving curcumin as co-chemotherapy of cisplatin in ovarian cancer model mice did not cause significant changes in histological structure and did not cause a significant increase in ETBR expression"

"Latar belakang: Kanker ovarium diduga dapat menyebabkan penurunan fungsi dan kerusakan ginjal. Cisplatin salah satu terapi kanker ovarium bersifat nefrotoksik. Kerusakan ginjal ini terjadi melalui berbagai mekanisme, salah satunya adalah peningkatan ekspresi ETAR. Kurkumin diduga mampu menurunkan ekspresi ETAR pada jaringan ginjal yang rusak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek ko-kemoterapi kurkumin pada cisplatin terhadap ekspresi ETAR serta gambaran histopatologi jaringan ginjal pada tikus model kanker ovarium. Metode: 24 tikus wistar betina dibagi menjadi empat kelompok: Kelompok normal sham (N), kanker ovarium tanpa perlakuan (Ca), kanker ovarium yang mendapat 4 mg/KgBB cisplatin (Cis), dan kanker ovarium yang mendapat 4 mg/KgBB cisplatin +100 mg/KgBB kurkumin (Cis+Cur). Setelah 3 minggu tikus dikorbankan, ginjal tikus diambil untuk pengamatan histopatolgi serta ekspresi mRNA ETAR. Hasil: Pada pengamatan histopatologi Masson Trichrome ditemukan fokus fibrosis pada kelompok tikus Ca dan Cis. Melalui qRT-PCR diketahui bahwa ekspresi mRNA pada kelompok Ca dan Cis relatif sama, namun meningkat masing-masing sebesar 133% (2,33 kali lipat) dan 123% (2,23 kali lipat) dibandingkan dengan kelompok normal. Sedangkan pada kelompok Cis+Cur terdapat penurunan ekspresi mRNA sebesar 31,5% (0.315 lebih rendah) dan 34,4% (0.344 lebih rendah) berurutan dibanding kelompok Cis dan Cur. Tidak ditemukan perbedaan bermakna secara statistik antar kelompok uji. Kesimpulan: Kanker ovarium dapat memicu kerusakan ginjal pada tiku dibuktikan dengan peningkatan ekspresi mRNA ETAR dan fokus fibrosis. Pemberian cisplatin pada dosis terapeutik tidak meningkatkan ekspresi mRNA ETAR pada jaringan tikus model kanker ovarium, meski demikian pemberian kurkumin sebagai ko-kemoterapi menurunkan ekspresi mRNA ETAR dan fokus fibrosis meskipun tidak bermakna secara statistik.

Background: Ovarian cancer is believed can lead to renal functional deterioration Furthermore, cisplatin as chemotherapeutic agent has nephrotoxic effects. Increased expression of the Endothelin A receptor (ETAR) is thought to be one of the mechanisms. Curcumin is believed to have protective effects in injured kidney. This study is to evaluate the co-chemotherapy effects of curcumin for cisplatin upon ETAR expression and histopathological appearances in rats’ kidney. Method: Total of 24 wistar rats, devided into four treatment groups: normal group (N), ovarian cancer without treatment group (Ca), ovarian cancer which received cisplatin 4 mg/kgBW group (Cis), and ovarian cancer which received cisplatin 4 mg/kgBW + 100 mg/kgBW curcumin group (Cis+Cur). Kidney tissue specimen was obtained for histopathological examination and ETAR messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression. Results: Fibrosis foci were found at kidney tissue of Ca and Cis group. The mRNA expression level among Ca and Cis group were relatively equivalent; however increased by 133% (2,33 fold) and by 123% (2,23 fold), respectively compared to N group. Meanwhile, the Cis + Cur group decreased by 31.5% (0.315 lower) and 34.4 % (0.344 lower) compared to Cis and Ca group respectively. There are no statistical significant among the experiment groups. Conclusion: Ovarian cancer is associated with kidney injury, demonstrated by increased of ETAR mRNA and fibrosis foci formation. Therapeutic dose cisplatin do not increased ETAR mRNA in the kidney of ovarian cancer rat. Curcumin administration as co-chemotherapeutic agent result in the decrease of ETAR mRNA level and the decrease of fibrosis foci formation."

"Pendahuluan: Hampir 85% kasus karsinoma ovarium terjadi overekspresi endothelin-1 (ET-1) yang memodulasi persinyalan tumorigenesis dan metastasis. Disisi lain, cisplatin sebagai kemoterapi kanker ovarium menimbulkan efek samping dan resistensi terapi. Berbagai penelitian menunjukkan kurkumin berpotensi sebagai antikanker yang meningkatkan efikasi cisplatin dan menekan overekspresi ET-1 pada lini sel nonkanker. Namun, belum banyak penelitian yang mengidentifikasi penekanan ekspresi ET-1 oleh kurkumin dalam regimen terapi bersama cisplatin di kanker ovarium. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan melihat efek ko-kemoterapi kurkumin bersama cisplatin pada kanker ovarium terkait ekspresi relatif mRNA ET-1. Metode: Jaringan ovarium tersimpan dari 24 tikus betina galur Wistar dibagi kedalam 4 kelompok: tikus yang hanya dibedah dan diberi aquadest (sham), tikus yang diimplantasi DMBA tanpa intervensi terapi, tikus yang diimplantasi DMBA dan diberi terapi tunggal cisplatin intraperitoneal 4 mg/kgBB/minggu, tikus yang diimplantasi DMBA dengan diberi terapi cisplatin 4 mg/kgBB/minggu dan kurkumin oral 100 mg/kgBB/hari. Implantasi DMBA dilakukan selama 28 minggu dan intervensi pada hewan coba selama 4 minggu. Setelah itu, jaringan ovarium tersimpan dianalisis ekspresi relatif mRNA ET-1 dengan mesin qRT-PCR menggunakan metode Livak-Schmittgen (2(-Ct)). Hasil: Didapatkan rerata ekspresi relatif mRNA ET-1 [p=0,021] pada kelompok sham (0,349±0,24), kelompok DMBA (3,117±1,532), kelompok DMBA+cisplatin (0,993±0,651), dan kelompok DMBA+kurkumin+cisplatin (0,117±0,081). Ketiga kelompok tidak memiliki perbedaan bermakna dibandingkan sham. Meski demikian, terdapat perbedaan bermakna pada kelompok kombinasi cisplatin serta ko-kemoterapi kurkumin dengan kelompok tanpa intervensi terapi [p=0,019]. Kesimpulan: Terjadi penurunan ekspresi relatif mRNA endothelin-1 di jaringan ovarium model tikus yang diinduksi DMBA setelah pemberian kombinasi cisplatin dan ko-kemoterapi kurkumin.

Introduction: Endothelin-1 overexpression happens in 85% ovarian carcinoma cases that modulate metastatic and tumorigenesis. Meanwhile, cisplatin as ovarian cancer chemotherapy cause side effects and therapy resistances. Prior studies show potential effect of curcumin as an anticancer could enhance cisplatin efficacy and attenuate ET-1 overexpression in non-cancer cell lines. However, not many studies have identified suppression effect of ET-1 expression by curcumin with cisplatin in ovarian cancer. Therefore, this study is conducted to identify the effect of curcumin with cisplatin in ovarian cancer treatment especially its relation to relative expression of ET-1 mRNA.

Methods: Frozen ovarian tissue samples from 24 female Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: a group that only operated on and treated with distilled-water (sham), group with DMBA-implantation, group with DMBA-implantation and intraperitoneal cisplatin 4mg/kgBW/week, group with DMBA-implantation and cisplatin with same dose as before plus oral curcumin 100mg/kgBW/day. After 28 weeks of DMBA-implantation and 4 weeks of intervention, frozen ovarian tissue samples were taken to measure its relative expression of ET-1 mRNA level with qRT-PCR machine.

Results: The mean of relative expression of ET-1 mRNA level [p=0,021] in frozen tissue sample of sham group (0,349±0,24), DMBA-implantation group (3,117±1,532), DMBA+cisplatin-treated group (0,993±0,651), and DMBA+curcumin+cisplatin-treated group (0,117±0,081). This study shows those 3 groups did not have significant difference compared with sham. But among group with cisplatin+curcumin-treated compared to DMBA-implantation shows a significant difference (p=0,019).

Conclusion: The relative expression of ET-1 mRNA in ovarian tissue of DMBA-induced rats model decreases after given by a combination of cisplatin+curcumin co-chemotherapy."

"Latar belakang: Terdapat peningkatan 80% ekspresi reseptor endothelin A dan 40% ekspresi endothelin B pada kanker ovarium. Peningkatan ekspresi reseptor endothelin A terbukti berperan dalam menyebabkan progresifitas dan metastasi kanker ovarium. REB berperan sebagai klirens endothelin-1 dan meningkatkan proses apoptosis. Cisplatin sebagai lini pertama pengobatan kanker ovarium memiliki efek samping dan berisiko mengembangkan kanker ovarium resistensi cisplatin. Kurkumin sebagai salah satu bahan alami terbukti memiliki potensi sebagai antikanker dan dapat meingkatkan efikasi cisplatin.

Background: There was an 80% increase in endothelin A receptor expression and 40% endothelin B expression in ovarian cancer. Increased expression of endothelin A receptors has been shown to play a role in causing progression and metastasis of ovarian cancer. REB acts as endothelin-1 clearance and increases the apoptotic process. Cisplatin as the first line of ovarian cancer treatment has side effects and the risk of developing cisplatin- resistant ovarian cancer. Curcumin as a natural ingredient is proven to have potential as an anticancer and can increase the efficacy of cisplatin. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the combination of curcumin and cisplatin as an alternative treatment for ovarian cancer in terms of the relative expression of endothelin A and endothelin B receptor mRNAs. Methods: Homogenation of stored ovarian tissue followed by centrifugation. The supernatant fluid is taken for purification. The purified RNA is converted into cDNA. Furthermore, the analysis was performed using a qRT- PCR machine, with the Livak-Schmittgen methode 2(-Ct). Results: The expression of mRNA endothelin B receptor in normal (7.376 ± 1.407), DMBA + Cis (1.701 ± 1.096), DMBA + Cis + Cur (7.391 ± 2.261), DMBA (0.649 ± 0.221) groups, with p <0.05. The results were significant in the DMBA and DMBA + Cis + Kur groups with p = 0.014. The expression of endothelin A receptor mRNA in normal (0.698 ± 0.366), DMBA + Cis (5.311 ± 2.737), DMBA + Cis + Kur (7.502 ± 2.476), DMBA (10.970 ± 3.883) groups, with p <0.05. However, between the DMBA group and the DMBA + Cis + Kur or DMBA + Cis group there were no significant results found with p> 0.05. Conclusion: The combination of curcumin and cisplatin given to DMBA-induced ovarian cancer model mice can affect the endothelin receptor pathway through an increase in the relative expression of endothelin B receptor mRNA, and a tendency to decrease the expression of endothelin A receptors."

"Latar belakang: Cisplatin diketahui sebagai agen kemoterapi yang paling sering digunakan dalam terapi keganasan hematologi dan tumor padat. Namun, efek samping cisplatin nefrotoksisitas menjadi masalah utama, sebab pemberian cisplatin sesuai dengan dosis terapeutik saja sudah menimbulkan kerusakan ginjal.Tujuan penelitian: Membuktikan efek kurkumin yang bersifat renoprotektif terhadap kerusakan ginjal yang diinduksi cisplatin melalui penurunan ekspresi endothelin-1 (ET-1). Endothelin-1 merupakan peptida yang berkaitan dengan fungsi ginjal, karena memiliki peran sebagai vasokonstriktor poten dan sebagai hemodinamik di organ ginjal.Metode: Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berupa organ tersimpan dari penelitian Ni Made Dwi Sandhiutami, S.Si, M.Kes, Apt. Sampel dibagi dalam 4 kelompok perlakuan, yaitu kelompok tikus normal (N), kanker ovarium tanpa perlakuan (Ca), kanker ovarium perlakuan cisplatin (Cis), dan kanker ovarium perlakuan cisplatin+curcumin (Cur). Induksi kanker ovarium dengan cara injeksi 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) melalui benang silk dan dirawat selama 20 minggu membentuk adanya tumor pada ovarium.Hasil: Hasil yang diperoleh memperlihatkan kelompok Ca mengalami peningkatan ET-1 sebesar 2,8555±0,69981, kelompok Cis terjadi peningkatan ET-1 sebesar 6,0965±2,1558, namun pada kelompok Cis+Cur terjadi penurunan ekspresi ET-1 sebesar 2,1616±0,71623. Meskipun, data pada pemeriksaan ekspresi ET-1 tidak berbeda bermakna secara statistik, namun pemberian kurkumin dapat dikatakan bermakna secara kondisi klinis karena menurunkan ekspresi ET-1 sebesar 64,5%. Pada pemeriksaan serum kreatinin, hanya kelompok tikus normal (N) dengan kelompok tikus kanker ovarium dengan perlakuan cisplatin (Cis) yang berbeda bermakna dan signifikan.Kesimpulan: Cisplatin bersifat nefrotoksisitas meskipun dalam dosis terapi, serta pemberian kurkumin bermanfaat sebab dapat bersifat renoprotektif bagi kerusakan ginjal yang diinduksi cisplatin.

Introduction: Cisplatin is known as a chemotherapy agent that is most often used in the therapy of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. However, the side effects of cisplatin nephrotoxicity are the main problem, because giving cisplatin in accordance with the therapeutic dose alone has caused kidney damage.

Purpose of the study: To prove the effect of curcumin which is renoprotective against cisplatin-induced renal damage through decreased expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1). Endothelin-1 is a peptide related to kidney function, because it has a role as a potent vasoconstrictor and as a hemodynamic agent in the kidney.

Methods: The samples used in this study were stored organs from research by Ni Made Dwi Sandhiutami, S.Si, M.Kes, Apt. Samples were divided into 4 treatment groups, namely normal mice (N), ovarian cancer without treatment (Ca), ovarian cancer treated with cisplatin (Cis), and ovarian cancer treated with cisplatin + curcumin (Cur). Ovarian cancer induction by injection of 7,12-Dimethylbenz [a] anthracene (DMBA) through silk thread and treated for 20 weeks to form a tumor in the ovary.

Results: The results showed that the Ca group experienced an increase in ET-1 by 2.8555 ± 0.69981, the Cis group had an increase in ET-1 by 6.0965 ± 2.1558, but in the Cis + Cur group there was a decrease in ET-1 expression. equal to 2.1616 ± 0.71623. Although, the data on the examination of ET-1 expression were not statistically significant, but curcumin administration can be said to be clinically significant because it reduces the expression of ET-1 by 64.5%. In the serum creatinine examination, only the normal (N) group of mice with ovarian cancer mice treated with cisplatin (Cis) was significantly and significantly different.

Conclusion: Cisplatin is nephrotoxicity even in therapeutic doses, and curcumin administration is beneficial because it can be renoprotective for cisplatin-induced renal damage"

Latar belakang: Kurkumin memiliki aktivitas antikanker yang poten, namun profil farmakokinetik dan ketersediaan kurkumin di organ target sangat rendah. Nanopartikel kurkumin dibuat untuk meningkatkan aktivitas kurkumin sehingga dapat meningkatkan efek obat pada proses angiogenesis dan proliferasi sel pada tikus model kanker ovarium.

Metode: Nanopartikel kurkumin dibuat dengan metode gelasi ionik menggunakan kitosan sebagai polimer. Profil farmakokinetika kurkumin dan nanokurkumin dilakukan pada tikus dengan pemberian dosis oral sebesar 100 mg/kgBB. Sampel darah diambil pada sembilan  waktu dan konsentrasi kurkumin dalam plasma dianalisis menggunakan UPLC-MS/MS. Pengujian nanokurkumin sebagai ko-kemoterapi secara in vivo pada kanker ovarium dilakukan pada tikus model kanker ovarium dengan induksi DMBA. Tikus model kanker ovarium diberikan terapi cisplatin atau kombinasi cisplatin dan kurkumin, atau kombinasi cisplatin dan nanokurkumin. Efek antikanker dilihat dari pengukuran marker antiproliferasi (Ki67), marker apoptosis serta jalur sinyal TGF-b/PI3K/Akt dan IL-6/JAK/STAT3.

Hasil: Diperoleh ukuran partikel nanokurkumin sebesar 19,43±11,24 nm, dengan efisiensi penjerapan 99,97%, dan loading capacity 11,34%. Sifat mukoadhesif nanokurkumin lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kurkumin. Evaluasi profil farmakokinetik pada tikus diperoleh bahwa nanokurkumin meningkatkan AUC, Cmax, Tmax dan menurunkan klirens. Pada uji aktivitas in vivo,  pemberian cisplatin dan ko-kemoterapi nanokurkumin menyebabkan penurunan yang signifikan pada volume dan berat ovarium. Penemuan ini sesuai dengan penurunan ekspresi protein TGF-β, PI3K dan p-Akt/Akt. Efek ko-kemoterapi nanokurkumin juga dapat dapat menurunkan ekspresi protein IL-6, JAK, dan p-STAT3/STAT3. Pemberian cisplatin dan nanokurkumin juga menyebabkan peningkatan marker apoptosis yang signifikan seperti Bax, kaspase-9 dan kaspase-3 serta menurunkan ekspresi Bcl-2.

Kesimpulan: Nanokurkumin dapat memperbaiki profil farmakokinetika kurkumin, sehingga dapat diaplikasikan pada strategi ko-kemoterapi kanker ovarium dengan menghambat proliferasi melalui penghambatan jalur sinyal PI3K/Akt, JAK/STAT3, peningkatan apoptosis marker Bax, kaspase-3 dan kaspase-9 serta menurunkan ekspresi Bcl-2.

Background: Curcumin has a potent anticancer activity. However, its systemic bioavailability and its concentration in organ is extremely low. The modification of curcumin to curcumin nanoparticles was expected to increase the activity of curcumin on angiogenesis and cell proliferation process in rat ovarian cancer.

Methods: Nanocurcumin were made using ionic gelation methods. The pharmacokinetic profiles of curcumin particles and nanoparticles were then assessed in rats by administering a single oral dose of 100 mg/kg BW. Blood samples were taken from nine predetermined time points, and curcumin plasma concentrations were then analyzed using UPLC-MS/MS. Nanocurcumin was tested as a co-chemotherapy in vivo and was carried out on ovarian cancer animal models, induced with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). The ovarian cancer animal models were then treated with cisplatin, or cisplatin and curcumin, or combination of cisplatin with nanocurcumin. The anticancer effect of nanocurcumin as co-chemotherapy was investigated with the measurement of antiproliferation marker (Ki67), apoptotic markers as well as the expression of TGF-b/PI3K/Akt dan IL-6/JAK/STAT3.

Result: The particle size of the curcumin nanoparticles obtained were 19,43±11,24 nm. Entrapment efficiency (EE) of curcumin nanoparticles were exceeding 99.97%, and drug loading capacity (DLC) was 11.34%. The mucoadhesive properties of the nanoparticles were superior to that of curcumin particles. Pharmacokinetic evaluation in rats revealed that curcumin nanoparticles resulted in an increase of AUC, Cmax, Tmax, and lower Cl. The administration of cisplatin and nanocurcumin co-chemotherapy caused a significant reduction in ovarian volume and weight. These findings followed with decreased protein expression of TGF-β, PI3K and p-Akt/Akt. The co-chemotherapy effect nanocurcumin is also investigated as a mechanism of action via IL-6, JAK, p-STAT3/STAT3 expressions.  Treatments of cisplatin and nanocurcumin resulted in a significant increase in apoptotic markers such as Bax, caspase-9, and caspase-3 expressions and decreased Bcl-2 expression.

Conclusion: Nanocurcumin is an effective formulation to improve pharmacokinetics profile. Nanocurcumin as a co-chemotherapy  can be considered as a potential co-chemotherapy in ovarian cancer. The improved mechanism of actions are shown by the proliferation inhibition, downregulation of PI3K/Akt, JAK/STAT3 signaling pathways, and Bcl-2 expression and increasing apoptosis through the expression of Bax, caspase-9 and caspase-3.

"Salah satu obat antikanker yang sekarang paling efektif digunakan sebagai kemoterapi kanker ovarium adalah cisplatin. Namun, cisplatin memiliki banyak efek samping pada berbagai organ, salah satunya hepar. Hepatotoksisitas akibat cisplatin menyebabkan terbatasnya dosis kemoterapi cisplatin. Salah satu faktor kunci patofisiologi kerusakan akut hepar adalah inflamasi. Kurkumin merupakan senyawa alami yang memiliki sifat antiinflamasi tetapi bioavailabilitasnya rendah. Untuk itu, diformulasikan nanokurkumin untuk meningkatkan bioavailabilitasnya. Meskipun begitu, efek kurkumin dan nanokurkumin dalam memodulasi jalur inflamasi hepatotoksisitas akibat cisplatin pada kanker ovarium belum diamati. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan pengaruh kurkumin dan nanokurkumin sebagai ko-kemoterapi terhadap hepatotoksisitas cisplatin dalam jalur inflamasi. Penelitian in vivo dilakukan pada tikus Wistar betina yang diinduksi DMBA untuk mendapatkan model kanker ovarium. Kemudian, tikus-tikus diberi perlakuan terapi dengan cisplatin secara intraperitoneal (4 mg/kgBB/minggu) dan kombinasinya dengan kurkumin (100 mg/kgBB/hari) dan nanokurkumin (100 mg/kgBB/hari) per oral. Tikus-tikus tersebut dibagi menjadi kelompok: tikus normal, model kanker ovarium saja, terapi cisplatin, terapi cisplatin + kurkumin, dan terapi cisplatin + nanokurkumin. Setelah 1 bulan, tikus di-sacrifice dan organ hepar disimpan beku. Ekspresi mRNA relatif NF-κB dan IL-1β serta kadar protein IL-6 diukur dengan metode qt RT-PCR dan ELISA secara berurutan. Data hasil pengukuran IL-6 dan data hasil transformasi logaritma NF-κB dan IL-1β dianalisis menggunakan uji one-way ANOVA, menggunakan perangkat lunak SPSS20. Tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan secara statistik antar kelompok perlakuan dalam mRNA NF-κB (p=0,503), mRNA IL-1β (p=0,237), dan protein IL-6 (p=0,157). Tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kurkumin dan nanokurkumin dalam memodulasi jalur inflamasi hepatotoksisitas cisplatin pada model kanker ovarium tikus.

Up to now, one of the most effective anticancer drug as ovarian cancer chemotherapy is cisplatin. Nevertheless, cisplatin has many side effects on several organs, one of which is liver. Cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity causes limited cisplatin chemotherapy dose. One of the pathophysiological key factor of acute liver injury is inflamation. Curcumin is natural compound which has antiinflamation properties but the bioavailability is low. To overcome it, nanocurcumin is made to increase its bioavailability. Nonetheless, curcumin and nanocurcumin effect on modulating inflammatory pathway toward cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity in ovarian cancer rat model has not been observed. This study aims to compare the effect of curcumin and nanocurcumin as co-chemotherapy toward cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity in inflammatory pathway. An in vivo study was done on female Wistar rats induced by DMBA to achieve ovarian cancer model. Then, rats was treated with cisplatin intraperitoneally (4 mg/kgBW/week) and the combination with per oral curcumin (100 mg/kgBW/day) and nanocurcumin (100 mg/kgBW/day). Those rats were divided into groups, which are normal rat, only ovarian cancer model, cisplatin therapy, cisplatin + curcumin therapy, and cisplatin + nanocurcumin therapy. After 1 month, rats are sacrificed and liver organs are stored frozen. mRNA relative expression of NF-κB and IL-1β as well as protein level of IL-6 was measured using qt RT-PCR and ELISA method, respectively. The result data from the measurement of IL-6 and the data from logarithmic transformation of NF-κB and IL-1β was analysed using one-way ANOVA test using SPSS20 software. There is no significant differences between groups in mRNA NF-κB (p=0.503), mRNA IL-1β (p=0.237), and protein IL-6 (p=0.157). There is no significant differences between curcumin and nanocurcumin in modulating inflammatory pathway of cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity in ovarian cancer rat model."

"Latar Belakang: Cisplatin sebagai agen kemoterapi merupakan salah satu modalitas terapi pada kanker padat seperti kanker ovarium. Sejumlah studi membuktikan adanya efek samping hepatotoksik cisplatin. Hal ini dapat mengakibatkan kemoterapi tidak efektif, karena dosis cisplatin dikurangi atau bahkan dihentikan pemberiannya. Dewasa ini, obat berbasis tanaman banyak diteliti, salah satunya kurkumin. Kurkumin mempunyai efek hepatoprotektif namun bioavailabilitasnya sangat rendah. Sejumlah penelitian membuat formula nanokurkumin untuk meningkatkan bioavaibilitasnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian nanokurkumin pada gambaran histologis jejas liver yang diinduksi oleh cisplatin pada tikus model kanker ovarium. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan bahan biologis tersimpan dari penelitian sebelumnya. Terdapat 5 kelompok perlakuan; kontrol, DMBA; DMBA+Cisplatin; DMBA+Cis+kurkumin; dan DMBA+Cis+nanokurkumin. Pewarnaan Masson Trichrome dipakai untuk mengamati akumulasi kolagen sebagai penanda fibrosis. Selanjutnya dilakukan kuantifikasi jaringan kolagen /Collagen Proportionate Area (CPA), serta skoring fibrosis hati (skor ISHAK). Hasil: Induksi DMBA dan terapi cisplatin dapat mengakibatkan fibrosis hati, ditandai dengan deposisi kolagen yang lebih tinggi dibanding kelompok kontrol. Pemberian nanokurkumin menunjukkan adanya perbaikan secara histologis berupa fibrosis periportal yang ringan dan skor fibrosis yang lebih rendah secara signifikan (p<0.05) dibanding kelompok lainnya. Pemberian nanokurkumin juga menunjukkan persentase akumulasi kolagen (CPA) yang rendah, namun tidak signifikan (p>0.05) secara statistik. Kesimpulan: Pemberian nanokurkumin pada model kanker ovarium yang diterapi dengan cisplatin pada tikus menunjukkan efek hepatoprotektor dengan memperbaiki skor fibrosis dan mengurangi akumulasi kolagen pada jaringan liver. Diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut yang membandingkan beragam dosis dan formulasi untuk mengetahui efikasi nanokurkumin yang paling baik sebagai hepatoprotektor pada model kanker ovarium yang diterapi dengan cisplatin.

Background: Cisplatin as a chemotherapy is one of the main modalities of therapy in patients with solid tumours like ovarian cancer. Studies have proven the hepatotoxicity of cisplatin, which causes dose reduction and even termination. Nowadays, herbal based drug is intensively studied, one of them is curcumin. Curcumin is known to have a hepatoprotective effect, albeit with very low bioavailability. To solve this, many research have formulated nanocurcumin to increase its bioavailability. This research aims to find out the effect of nanocurcumin in liver fibrosis induced by cisplatin in ovarian cancer of rat’s model. Method: Our study uses stored biological materials from previous study. The groups are; Control; DMBA; DMBA+Cisplatin; DMBA+Cisplatin+Curcumin; DMBA+Cisplatin+Nanocurcumin. Liver fibrosis is observed with Masson Trichrome stain to view collagen accumulation as fibrosis marker. Afterwards, quantification of collagen fibers (CPA) and liver fibrosis grading (ISHAK) is done. Results: Induction of DMBA with cisplatin treatment causes liver fibrosis, indicated by higher collagen deposition compared to the normal group. Administration of nanocurcumin shows improvement in histological structure such as milder periportal fibrosis and significantly lower liver fibrosis grade (p<0.05) compared to other groups. Administration of nanocurcumin also results in lower collagen percentage (CPA), however it is statistically insignificant (p>0.05). Conclusion: Administration of nanocurcumin in rat ovarian cancer model treated with cisplatin shows hepatoprotective effect by reducing both fibrosis grade and collagen accumulation in the liver. Further study is required with varying dose and formulations to know the nanocurcumin’s best efficacy as hepatoprotector in ovarian cancer model treated with cisplatin.
