Coleus amboinicus extract increases transforming growth factor-1β expression in Wistar rats with cisplatin-induced nephropathy
Background and Aim: Coleus amboinicus (CA) plants are known to exert antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and demonstrate antiproliferative effects against cancer cells. This study aimed to investigate the activity of CA extract on the expression of transforming growth factor-1β (TGF-1β) in cisplatin-induced nephropathy in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus).
Materials and Methods: CA was obtained from fresh leaves of CA and was extracted using 96% ethanol maceration. This blinded, controlled, randomized post-test study assigned 24 Wistar rats to three groups (n=8). Negative controls received normal saline (P0), nephropathy was induced in rats by cisplatin (5 mg/kg, IP) (P1), and treated with ethanolic coleus extract (500 mg/kg, PO) (P2), respectively, for 7 days. Nephropathy was induced on the 4th day. All rats were sacrificed on the 8th day for blood and kidney sample collection. Concentrations of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and alkaline phosphatase were analyzed using colorimetric analysis. A semi-quantitative analysis was performed on sectioned kidneys to determine the numbers of positive cells for TGF-1β expression and to evaluate structural and functional alterations in the kidneys using histopathological and immunohistochemical staining.
Results: The concentrations of BUN, creatinine, and alkaline phosphatase from blood samples in the treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group (p<0.05). Morphological evaluation of the tubular interstitium and glomeruli revealed that necrotic, degenerating, and infiltration of cells significantly decreased in the treatment group compared to the control group (p<0.05). The mean immunostaining scores indicating the presence of TGF-1β were 7.8 in the ethanolic coleus extract group, 3 in the induction group, and 2.3 in the control group. The expression scores for TGF-β1 were significantly different between the ethanolic coleus extract treatment and control group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Our results suggest that in Wistar rats with cisplatin-induced nephropathy, CA extract inhibits pathological lesions by regulating the renal expression of TGF-1β in areas containing the renal tubules and glomeruli
MEKANISME KERJA EKSTRAK ETANOL BATANG TORBANGUN (Coleus amboinicus) TERHADAP MODEL NEFROPATI AKIBAT INDUKSI ASAM URAT PADA TIKUS PUTIH (Rattus norvegicus)
Introduction. Torbangun (Coleus amboinicus, CA) extracts are known to have
anti-oxidant activity, anti-platelet aggregations, anti-bacterial, anticancer and antiinflammation.
Aim. The purposed to study the mechanism of Coleus amboinicus (CA) stem
extracts in Wistar rats with uric acid-oxonic acid induced nephropathy, by
analyzing the levels of Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) activity, Interleukin-1β (IL-
1β), Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression and macrophage CD 68
(ED-1).
Method. Fifty-six male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), 3 months with 150-200 g
body weight, were allocated into four groups (n=14). The control group received
placebo, treatment group were administered orally with uric acid 1,5% and oxonic
acid 2% (P1) and received 500 mg/kg BW of the CA stem extracts (P2) and
received 5 mg/kg BW quercetin (P3) by oral, respectively for 35 days. Blood
serums collected for analysis of cystatin C (Cys-C), creatinine and BUN
concentrations. All groups were sacrificed to collect kidney organ for measuring
of GPx activity, IL-1β expression, TGF-β1 expression was conducted by Avidin-
Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) Sandwich-ELISA. Kidney organ was collected to
histopathological analyzed by Hematoxylin-eosin and Periodic Acid Schiff
staining. Immunohistochemistry is conducted for identification of CD 68
expression. The levels of GPx, IL-1β, TGF-β1, CD 68 and Cys-C concentrations
were analyzed by statistic independent test.
Results. Coleus amboinicus (CA) stem extract by Thin Layer Chromatography
has a relative fraction of flavonoids, terpenes, saponins, polyphenols and
alkaloids. By in silico analyzed, quercetin as a marker compound of CA stem
extract has stronger bind to the TGF-β1receptor (PDB code: 4X0M) than its of
3WA_601 ligand. Induction with uric acid- oxonic acid for 35 days has proven to
causes nephropathy with indicated of elevated BUN, creatinine and cystatin-C
levels and necrotic lesions of tubular membrane and glomerular kidney, in P1, P2,
and P3 groups. The research results showed that CA stem extract at a dose of 500
mg/kg BW decreased the activity of GPx, IL-1β expressions and CD 68 not
significantly (p> 0.05) and increased of TGF-β1 expression significantly (p≤0.05)
in P2 and P3 groups than the P1 group. This study was concluded that torbangun
stem extract is proven to inhibit on uric acid-induced nephropathy, however, a
mechanism of that inhibitory activity could not explain clearly in this research
