PENGARUH FLAVONOID EKSTRAK MAHKOTA DEWA (PHALERIA MACROCARPA) TERHADAP PENINGKATAN INDEKS APOPTOSIS PADA PERITONEAL MENCIT MODEL ENDOMETRIOSIS

Background: Endometriosis is one of the main reproductive problems today because the incidence is quite high. The development and progression of endometriosis cells results from an abnormal balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis. Cell apoptosis is triggered by an imbalance between positive signals (cell growth factors) and negative signals (DNA damage) in endometriosis. The anti-cancer effect of Mahkota Dewa has been shown to suppress cancer growth and inhibit cancer cell invasion through inhibition of proliferation and anti-apoptotic activity, Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of giving flavonoid extract from Mahkota Dewa fruit on the apoptotic index in endometriosis model mice. Methods: This research is an experimental study conducted at the Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Airlangga University, Surabaya. The sample used mice (Mus musculus) endometriosis model. The study was divided into 6 groups: negative control, positive control and treatment with the flavonoid extract of the Mahkota Dewa fruit at a dose of 3.75 mg/day, 7.5 mg/day, 11.25 mg/day and 15 mg/day. Measurement of apoptotic index using Tunel kit immunohistochemistry. Observational data were analyzed by ANOVA dan Tukey. Results: There was significant difference in the mean apoptotic index of the five groups of observational samples, the mean value of the apoptotic index was found between the KP group (7.96 ± 1.02) and the group given flavonoid extract from the Mahkota Dewa fruit group P1 at a dose of 3.75 mg (5.36 ± 0.91), P2 dose 7.5 mg (3.4 ± 0.49), P3 dose 11.25 mg (3.88 ± 0.59), P4 dose 15 mg (3.96 ± 0.75). Conclusion: The administration of flavonoid extract of the Mahkota Dewa fruit had a significant effect on increasing cell apoptotic index in endometriosis model mice.Suggestion Further study is needed to see the effect of flavonoid extract of Mahkota Dewa on rabbit experimental animals. Keywords: endometriosis, flavonoid extract of Mahkota Dewa fruit, apoptotic index ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Endometriosis menjadi salah satu masalah reproduksi utama saat ini karena angka kejadian cukup tinggi. Perkembangan dan progresi sel endometriosis akibat terjadinya abnormalitas keseimbangan antara proliferasi dan apoptosis sel. Apoptosis sel dipicu karena adanya ketidakseimbangan antara sinyal positif (faktor pertumbuhan sel) dan sinyal negatif (kerusakan DNA) pada kondisi endometriosis. Efek anti kanker mahkota dewa terbukti dapat menekan pertumbuhan kanker dan menghambat terjadinya invasi sel kanker melalui penghambatan aktivitas proliferasi dan anti apoptosis.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek pemberian flavonoid ekstrak dari buah mahkota dewa terhadap indeks apoptosis pada mencit model endometriosis.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental yang dilakukan di Laboratorium Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan Universitas Airlangga Surabaya. Sampel menggunakan mencit (Mus musculus) model endometriosis. Penelitian dibagi menjadi 6 kelompok, yaitu : kontrol negatif, kontrol positif dan perlakuan pemberian ekstrak flavonoid buah mahkota dewa dosis 3,75 mg/hari, 7,5 mg/hari, 11,25 mg/hari dan15 mg/hari. Pengukuran indeks apoptosis menggunakan imunohistokimia Tunel kit. Data hasil pengamatan dianalisis dengan uji ANOVA dan Tukey. Uji statistik dikatakan bermakna bila p
