The Effect of Ethanol Extract of Ketepeng Cina (Cassia alata L.) on the Macropages Activities and Capacyties. Ketepeng cina (KC) (Cassia alata L.) has already been reported to stimulate the immune response. The current study investigates the role of KC on mice macrophages activities and capacyties. Twenty four Swiss mice were divided into 6 equal groups. The first control group (Group I), received phytohemaglutinin. The second control group (Group II), was given CMC Na 0,5%. The third control group (Group III), was given aquadest. The cases group: group IV received 42 mg ethanol extract of KC/20 g BW, group V received 84 mg/20 BW, and group VI received 168 mg/20 g BW. These were admonished orally on day 1 until 7. On day 8, Staphylococcus aureus (SA) were injected intraperitoneally. The macrophages activities and capacyties were counted on slide smears of mice peritoneal fluid. According to enhancement of dose, either the macrophages activities or capacyties were found. The lowest activity encounter on the negative control (group II and III) followed by Group IV, V, positive control (group I) and group VI. Keywords: macrophage, ketepeng cina, Cassia alata, mice
Regulation of immune system is of paramount importance to prevent immune attacks against self-components. Mice deficient in the interleukin (IL)-2/IL-15 receptor beta chain, CD122, are model animals of such immune attacks and characteristically have a high number of abnormally activated T cells. Here, we show that the transfer of CD8+CD122+ cells into CD122-deficient neonates totally prevented the development of abnormal T cells. Furthermore, recombination activating gene-2-/- mice that received wild-type mice-derived CD8+CD122- cells died within 10 wk after cell transfer, indicating that normal CD8+CD122- cells become dangerously activated T cells in the absence of CD8+CD122+ T cells. CD8+CD122+ cells could control activated CD8+ or CD4+ T cells both in vivo and in vitro. Our results indicate that the CD8+CD122+ population includes naturally occurring CD8+ regulatory T cells that control potentially dangerous T cells.
Five cinnamon species, viz. Cinnamomum cassia, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Cinnamomum tamala, Cinnamomum burmannii, Cinnamomum pauciflorum, were chosen to prepare essential oils by hydrodistillation and to identify and quantify their volatile compound compositions. C. cassia was determined to have the highest yield (1.54%) of essential oil, followed by C. zeylanicum, C. pauciflorum, C. burmannii and C. tamala. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was used to identify and quantify the volatile compound composition. The results indicated the apparent difference in the volatile compound compositions of essential oils between species. The total numbers of volatile compounds identified from C. cassia, C. zeylanicum, C. tamala, C. burmannii and C. pauciflorum leaves were 22, 22, 13, 6 and 21, respectively. trans-Cinnamaldehyde was found in the essential oil of each species, which was also the major volatile component of C. cassia and C. burmannii leaves. Besides trans-cinnamaldehyde, 3-methoxy-1,2-propanediol was the main volatile compound of C. cassia leaf, while eugenol of C. zeylanicumand, C. pauciflorum and C. burmannii leaves, and 5-(2-propenyl)-1,3-benzodioxole of C. tamala leaf were also the main substances.Industrial relevanceThe essential oil of cinnamon is an important bioactive substance which has many disease prevention effects. In this work, five species of cinnamon leaves were chosen as materials to prepare the essential oils. The yield of essential oil was determined. The volatile compounds of essential oil were identified by GC/MS analysis. The results showed the significant difference of volatile compound composition between species. trans-Cinnamaldehyde was detected to exist in all the species tested as an important volatile component. This work is helpful for extensive development of this medicinal herb.
