ABSTRACT

The galls of Quercus infectoria (QI) have been reported to possess numerous medicinal values and give a positive effect on bone metabolism. This study investigated the effects of semi-purified fractions of QI gall extract on the proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and mineralisation of human foetal osteoblast cell line (hFOB 1.19). The semi-purified fractions (fraction A and B) were prepared by column chromatography methods. MTT assay was used to measure cell proliferation activity to obtain half maximal concentration (EC50) of the cells treated with fraction A (phenolic components and contained amide), fraction B (phenolic components with the presence of alkene), and pamidronate (drug control). The most potent or lowest EC50 was further used to measure ALP activity in the treated and untreated cells at day 1, 3, 7, 10, and 14 by ELISA. Cell mineralisation was determined by von Kossa staining for phosphate depositions and Alizarin Red S staining for calcium depositions. The EC50 values for fraction A and B were 8.86 and 9.92 μg/mL, respectively, which showed a greater effect compared to the pamidronate (15.27 μg/mL). The ALP activity of both fractions in the treated cells were also greater compared to the two control groups (cells treated with pamidronate and untreated cells), starting from day 3 onwards. The calcium depositions appeared as red spots, while phosphate depositions appeared as black spots. Interestingly, the calcium depositions of cells treated with both fractions were higher than those of the two control groups. In conclusion, semi-purified fractions of QI gall extract enhanced proliferation, improved mineralisation, and increased ALP activity of hFOB 1.19 cells.

ABSTRAK

Puru Quercus infectoria (QI) telah dilaporkan mempunyai nilai perubatan yang banyak dan memberi kesan positif pada metabolisme tulang. Penyelidikan ini dijalankan untuk mengkaji kesan fraksi separa tulen QI pada proliferasi, aktiviti alkalin fosfatase (ALP) dan pemineralan sel osteoblas fetal manusia (hFOB 1.19). Fraksi separa tulen QI (fraksi A dan B) telah disediakan melalui kaedah kromatografi kolum. Asai MTT digunakan untuk mengukur aktiviti proliferasi sel bagi menentukan kepekatan separa maksimum (EC50) sel yang dirawat dengan fraksi A (komponen fenolik dan mengandungi amida), fraksi B (komponen fenolik dengan kehadiran alkena) dan pamidronat. Nilai EC50 paling poten atau rendah yang diperoleh digunakan untuk mengukur aktiviti ALP dalam sel yang dirawat dan juga sel yang tidak dirawat pada hari 1, 3, 7, 10 dan 14 melalui ujian ELISA. Pemineralan sel ditentukan dengan pewarnaan von Kossa bagi pemendapan fosfat dan pewarnaan Alizarin Red S bagi pemendapan kalsium. Nilai EC50 bagi sel yang dirawat dengan fraksi A fraksi B masing-masing adalah 8.86 dan 9.92 μg/mL yang menunjukkan kesan lebih hebat berbanding pamidronat (15.27 μg/mL). Kedua-dua fraksi juga menunjukkan aktiviti ALP yang lebih tinggi berbanding kedua-dua kumpulan kawalan (sel yang dirawat dengan pamidronat dan sel yang tidak dirawat), bermula pada hari ke-3 dan hari-hari berikutnya. Pemendapan kalsium kelihatan sebagai tompokan merah manakala pemendapan fosfat kelihatan tompokan hitam. Menariknya, pemendapan kalsium oleh sel yang dirawat dengan kedua-dua fraksi adalah lebih tinggi berbanding dua kumpulan kawalan. Kesimpulannya, fraksi separa tulen QI menambahkan proliferasi, memperbaiki pemineralan dan meningkatkan aktiviti ALP sel hFOB 1.19.
