Latar Belakang: Endometriosis merupakan penyakit multifaktorial yang mempengaruhi 10% wanita usia subur. Diketahui bahwa gen EGFR dan MMP-2 mengalami peningkatan ekspresi pada endometriosis sehingga memiliki peran dalam perkembangan endometriosis, dan gen yang dapat meregulasi sitoskeleton. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi hubungan antara tingkat metilasi gen EGFR dan MMP-2 dengan ekspresi mRNA-nya pada jaringan endometriosis peritoneum. Metode Penelitian: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional. Sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 20 wanita endometriosis dan 20 wanita bukan endometriosis yang usianya sekitar 20-45 tahun. Pada wanita endometriosis diambil jaringan endometriosis peritoneum dengan tindakan laparoskopi, sedangkan 20 wanita bukan endometriosis diambil jaringan endometrium normal dengan tindakan mikrokuretase. Tingkat metilasi DNA gen EGFR dan MMP-2 dianalisis dengan metode Methylation Specific PCR (MSP) dan Ekspresi mRNA gen EGFR dan MMP-2 dianalisis dengan metode qRT-PCR. Hasil: Tingkat metilasi DNA pada gen EGFR dan MMP-2 mengalami hipermetilasi. Pada gen EGFR, tingkat metilasi DNA antara jaringan endometriosis peritoneum dibandingkan dengan jaringan endometrium normal terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna (p=0,001), sedangkan pada gen MMP-2 tingkat metilasi DNA-nya tidak terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna (p=0,596) antara jaringan endometriosis peritoneum dibandingkan dengan jaringan endometrium normal. Nilai ekspresi relatif mRNA EGFR dan MMP-2 mengalami peningkatan ekspresi pada jaringan endometriosis peritoneum. Penelitian ini tidak menunjukkan korelasi yang bermakna antara tingkat metilasi dengan tingginya ekspresi mRNA baik gen EGFR maupun MMP-2. (gen EGFR (p=0,947 dan r=-0,016) dan gen MMP-2 (p=0.769 dan r=0.070) Kesimpulan: Tingginya ekspresi mRNA EGFR dan gen MMP-2, kemungkinan bukan hanya disebabkan karena faktor metilasi DNA, melainkan faktor lainnya.

Background: Endometriosis is a multifactorial disease that affects 10% of women of childbearing age. It is known that the EGFR and MMP-2 genes have increased expression in endometriosis and thus have a role in the development of endometriosis, and genes that can regulate the cytoskeleton. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the level of methylation of the EGFR and MMP-2 genes with their mRNA expression in peritoneal endometriosis tissue. Method: The study used a cross sectional design. The sample used was 20 women with endometriosis and 20 women without endometriosis who were around 20-45 years old. In endometriosis women are taken to peritoneal endometriosis tissue by laparoscopic, while 20 women without endometriosis are taken to normal endometrial tissue by microcuretase. The levels of EGFR and MMP-2 gene methylation were analyzed by the Methylation Specific PCR (MSP) method and the mRNA expression of the EGFR and MMP-2 genes were analyzed by the qRT-PCR method. Results: The level of DNA methylation in the EGFR and MMP-2 genes was hypermethylated. In the EGFR gene between peritoneal endometriosis tissue compared to normal endometrial tissue there were significant differences (p=0,001), whereas in the MMP-2 gene there was no significant difference (p=0.596) between peritoneal endometriosis tissue compared to normal endometrial tissue. The relative expression value of EGFR and MMP-2 mRNA has increased expression in peritoneal endometriosis tissue. This study did not show a significant correlation between the level of methylation and the high mRNA expression in both the EGFR and MMP-2 genes. (EGFR gene (p=0.947 and r=-0.016) and MMP-2 gene (p=0.769 and r=0.070) Conclusion: The high expression of EGFR mRNA and MMP-2 gene, the possibility is not only due to hypermethylation factors, but other factors.

Latar belakang: Telah dilaporkan bahwa terdapat perubahan pada ekspresi dari ribuan gen di jaringan endometrium endometriosis, termasuk diantaranya adalah gen FN1 dan RAC1. Perubahan ekspresi gen tersebut dapat disebabkan oleh mekanisme epigenetik seperti perubahan tingkat metilasi DNA pada gen. Tujuan: Mengetahui tingkat metilasi DNA pada gen FN1 dan RAC1 serta ekspresi mRNAnya pada jaringan endometrium subjek endometriosis dan nir-endometriosis. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan cross sectional dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 40 dari jaringan endometrium subjek endometriosis dan subjek nir-endometriosis. Sampel diambil dengan teknik mikrokuretase di RSUPN Ciptomangunkusumo dan RS Fatmawati Jakarta. Pada jaringan kemudian dilakukan isolasi DNA dan RNA. Pada isolat DNA dilakukan konversi bisulfit, MSP, elektroforesis dan analisis intensitas pita menggunakan software ImageJ untuk mendapatkan data persentase tingkat metilasi DNA. Pada isolat RNA dilakukan qRT-PCR untuk mendapatkan ekspresi relatif mRNA gen FN1 dan RAC1. Hasil: Analisis persentase tingkat metilasi DNA promotor menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan bermakna (p=0,022) pada gen FN1 pada pasien endometriosis (37,95%) dibandingkan nir-endometriosis (59,22 %), sedangkan pada gen RAC1 tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna (p=0,63) dengan tingkat metilasi subjek endometriosis (28.45%) dan subjek nir-endometriosis (26.11%). Penelitian ini juga melaporkan terjadinya peningkatan ekspresi relatif mRNA gen FN1 dan RAC1 dibandingkan dengan subjek nir-endometriosis, namun secara statistik tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna (p>0,05). Tidak terdapat korelasi bermakna antara tingkat metilasi gen FN1 dan RAC1 dengan ekspresi mRNAnya. Kesimpulan: Terjadi penurunan tingkat metilasi yang bermakna pada gen FN1 di jaringan endometrium endometriosis, namun tidak berkorelasi dengan peningkatan mRNA nya. Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna tingkat metilasi dan ekspresi mRNA pada gen RAC1 di jaringan endometrium subjek endometriosis dibandingkan dengan nir endometriosis.

Latar belakang: Sindrom ovarium polikistik (SOPK) merupakan salah satu kelainan endokrin paling umum pada 7-15% wanita usia reproduksi yang menyebabkan infertilitas anovulatori. SOPK sering ditemukan pada wanita gemuk, sekitar 50-75% tetapi sindrom ini juga dapat ditemukan pada wanita kurus sebesar 5,5%. Penyebab dan patogenesis SOPK sampai sekarang masih diperdebatkan tapi hasil penelitian memperlihatkan hiperandrogen dan resistensi insulin terlibat dalam perkembangan perjalanan penyakit dan fenotip SOPK. Efek androgen dimediasi oleh reseptor androgen (AR) sedangkan efek insulin dimediasi oleh reseptor insulin (INSR). Ekspresi dan aksi dari kedua reseptor ini terutama pada sel granulosa ovarium dapat dipengaruhi oleh mekanisme epigenetik yang diduga terlibat dalam perkembangan penyakit SOPK ini. Tujuan: Mengetahui tingkat metilasi DNA pada gen reseptor androgen (AR) dan reseptor insulin (INSR) serta ekspresi mRNAnya pada sel granulosa subjek SOPK dan nir-SPOK. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional. Sampel berupa sel granulosa dari folikel ovarium didapatkan dari wanita yang melakukan ovum pick up (OPU) di klinik Yasmin RSUPN Ciptomangunkusumo yang kemudian dilakukan isolasi DNA dan RNA. Pada isolat DNA dilakukan konversi bisulfit, Methyl Specifik PCR (MSP), elektroforesis dan analisis ketebalan pita dengan perangkat lunak ImageJ untuk mendapatkan data tingkat metilasi DNA. Pada isolat RNA dilakukan qPCR untuk mendapatkan ekspresi relatif mRNA gen AR dan INSR. Hasil: Analisis data dari 21 subjek SOPK dan 20 subjek nir SOPK menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan bermakna (p=0,00) tingkat metilasi DNA gen AR pada pasien SOPK (45.24 %±16,84) dibandingkan nir-SOPK (84,96±15,45). Analisis gen INSR, pada subjek SOPK 100% tidak terjadi metilasi pada promotor gen INSR tetapi pada subjek nir-SOPK 1 dari 21 wanita mengalami metilasi parsial ((37,82%±8,25). Dari penelitian juga didapatkan terjadinya peningkatan ekspresi relatif mRNA AR sebesar 2,459 kali dan 1,791 kali pada mRNA INSR. Tidak terdapat korelasi antara tingkat metilasi gen AR dan INSR dengan ekspresi mRNAnya. Kesimpulan: Penurunan tingkat metilasi DNA (hipometilasi) pada gen AR dan INSR dapat meningkatkan tingkat ekspresi mRNA AR dan INSR, yang kemudian berkontribusi terhadap kejadian hiperandrogen dan resistensi insulin pada fenotip subjek SOPK. ......Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders in 7-15% of women of reproductive age who cause anovulatory infertility. PCOS is often found in obese women, around 50-75% but this syndrome can also be found in thin women at 5.5%. The causes and pathogenesis of PCOS is still debated but the results of the study show hyperandrogen and insulin resistance involved in the development of the disease course and the PCOS phenotype. The androgen effect is mediated by the androgen receptor (AR) while the effect of insulin is mediated by the insulin receptor (INSR). The expression and action of these two receptors, especially in ovarian granulosa cells can be influenced by epigenetic mechanisms that are thought to be involved in the development of PCOS. Objective: To determine the level of DNA methylation in the androgen receptor gene (AR) and insulin receptor (INSR) and its mRNA expression in the SOPK and nir-SPOK granulosa cells. Method: This study is a descriptive analytic study with a cross sectional design. Samples in the form of granulosa cells from ovarian follicles were obtained from women who performed ovum pick up (OPU) at the Yasmin clinic Ciptomangunkusumo Hospital which was then isolated from DNA and RNA. DNA isolates were carried out bisulfite conversion, Methyl Specific PCR (MSP), electrophoresis and tape thickness analysis with ImageJ software to obtain DNA methylation level data. QPCR was performed on RNA isolates to obtain the relative expression of the AR and INSR mRNA genes. Results: Analysis of data from 21 SOPK subjects and 20 non-PCOS subjects showed significant differences (p = 0.00) of AR gene DNA methylation rates in PCOS patients (45.24% ± 16.84) compared to non-PCOS (84.96 ± 15 , 45). INSR gene analysis, in the subject of 100% PCOS there was no methylation of the INSR gene promoter but in non-PCOS subjects 1 out of 21 women had partial methylation ((37.82% ± 8.25). AR is 3.459 times and 2.791 times in INSR mRNA. There is no correlation between the rate of methylation of the AR and INSR genes with their mRNA expression. Conclusion: Decreasing levels of DNA methylation (hypomethylation) in AR and INSR genes can increase the level of expression of mRNA AR and INSR, which then contributes to the incidence of hyperandrogen and insulin resistance in the phenotype of the PCOS subject.

ABSTRACT
Background: Mechanism of clopidogrel resistance is not well understood yet. In the other hand, epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, are suspected to play role in clopidogrel resistence. Subject with high on treatment clopidogrel reactivity show worsen cardiovascular outcome. Meanwhile, TIMI flow after reperfusion are known to be related with poor outcome. Study that evaluate the relationship between methylation of P2Y12 gene with Platelet Reactivity and TIMI-flow after Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PPCI) in Patients With Acute ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in South East Asia Population has never been done. Objectives: to define whether methylation of P2Y12 gene and platelet reactivity may affect the myocardial perfusion after PPCI. Methods: There were 118 of STEMI patients who underwent PPCI and had received clopidogrel were recruited for the study. We measured platelet reactivity using Verifynow P2Y12 and Methylation of P2Y12 gene. The relationship among variables are assessed using statistic method. Results: Among 118 subject, 22% are clopidogrel nonresponder and 30% had TIMI flow less than 3. Median of Methylation degree was 15% with 48% subject were unmethylated, 19% subject had 100% methylation. There are no relationship between methylation of P2Y12 gene with platelet reactivity and TIMI flow after PPCI among subjects. The value of Verifynow P2Y12 more than 208 were related TIMI flow less than 3 after PPCI (p=0,043). Conclusion: There are no relationship between methylation of P2Y12 gene with platelet reactivity and TIMI flow after PPCI among subjects. Clopidogel nonresponder subjects were more likely to have suboptimal reperfusion after PPCI

Reseptor follicle-stimulating hormone (FSHR) hanya terekspresi pada sel granulosa ovarium dan sel Sertoli testis. Ekspresinya yang sangat spesifik menunjukkan adanya peristiwa-peristiwa traskripsi khusus pada kedua tipe sel tersebut yang bertanggung jawab untuk aktivasi gen reseptor FSH. Walaupun mekanismenya belum diketahui, namun telah dicapai beberapa kemajuan menyangkut mekanisme yang mengontrol proses transkripsi dan regulasi gen reseptor FSH. Sampai saat ini telah diidentifikasi beberapa elemen regulator penting yang bertanggung jawab untuk proses transkripsi gen reseptor FSH yang tidak mengandung TATA box tersebut seperti elemen E box (CACG(A)TG, –124/–119), elemen GATA (TATC, –88/–85), E2F (TTTCGCG, –45/–39), dan elemen regulator-3 (–197/–171). Studi fungsional menunjukkan bila mutasi terjadi pada elemen regulator tersebut akan menurunkan fungsi promoter secara bermakna dan dampak terbesar terdeteksi bila mutasi terjadi pada elemen E box. Metilasi pada situs CpG spesifik dalam daerah promoter inti tampaknya memegang peranan penting dalam regulasi transkripsi gen reseptor FSH tikus dan mencit. (Med J Indones 2003; 12: 187-93)

Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) is exclusively expressed in granulose cells of the ovary and Sertoli cells of the testis. The highly cell-specific of gene expression revealed that transcriptional events unique to these two cell types are responsible for activation of the FSHR gene. Even though its mechanisms are still unclear, several progress regarding the mechanism that control its basal transcription and regulation has been made. It has been identified several important elements that responsible for the transcription of the TATA-less FSHR gene such as: E box element (CACG(A)TG, –124/–119), an inverted GATA (TATC, –88/–85), E2F (TTTCGCG, –45/–39), and regulator element-3 (–197/–171). The functional studies shown that mutations through these regulatory elements significantly decrease the promoter function with greatest impact detected when mutation was done in E-box element. The site-specific CpG methylation within the core promoter seems play an important role in the regulation of rat and mouse FSHR gene expression. (Med J Indones 2003; 12: 187-93)

Efisiensi transformasi plasmid rekombinanyang rendah ke dalam bakteri wild-type disebabkan oleh mekanisme pertahanan dari sel bakteri. Enzim restriksi dalam sel bakteri target dapat mendegradasi plasmid rekombinan. Transformasi plasmid pBBRE194 rekombinan yang mengandung gen protease dari Bacillus halodurans CM1 (pBBRE194 prot-CM1) telah dilakukan, tetapi efisiensi transformasi rendah dan klona rekombinan yang didapatkan tidak menunjukkan sifat yang stabil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetilasi plasmid pBBRE194 prot-CM1 dan transformasi plasmid pBBRE194 prot-CM1 termetilasi secara konjugasi ke B. halodurans CM1, kemudian menganalisis aktivitas enzim protease yang dihasilkan B. halodurans CM1 pembawa plasmid pBBRE194 prot-CM1. Aktivitas spesifik (U/mg) protease yang dihasilkan oleh B. halodurans CM1 rekombinan dianalisis dengan cara mengukur unit aktivitas (U/mL) dengan metode Amano dan kadar protein (mg/mL) dengan metode Bradford. Plasmid pBBRE194 prot-CM1 dalam E. coli TOP10 berhasil dimetilasi oleh gen methylase pada plasmid pPAMC125 yang diinduksi oleh 0,02% L-arabinosa. Konjugasi plasmid pBBRE194 prot-CM1 termetilasi ke B. halodurans CM1 berhasil dilakukan dan terpilih 1 klona B. halodurans CM1 rekombinan yang telah terverifikasi. Verifikasi dilakukan berdasarkan kemampuan klona dalam mendegradasi protein pada media selektif yang mengandung skim milk dan tetracycline. Verifikasi berdasarkan polymerase chain reaction dengan mendeteksi sekuens gen resistan tetracycline pada klona juga dilakukan. Proses PCR koloni pada B. halodurans CM1 rekombinan menunjukkan terbentuknya pita DNA ukuran 1024 bp yaitu ukuran gen resistan tetracycline pada plasmid pBBRE194 prot-CM1. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas spesifik B. halodurans CM1 rekombinan (660,700 U/mg) lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan kontrol negatif, yaitu B. halodurans CM1 wild-type (1054,928 U/mg). Analisis aktivitas protease dilakukan pada suhu 50 oC dan pH 12. ......Transformation rate into wild-type bacteria is commonly low because of the cell defense mechanism of the bacteria. Restriction modification (RM) in bacteria cells can prevent the introduction of recombinant plasmid into target bacteria. Previously, the transformation of recombinant shuttle vector pBBRE194 containing protease gene (pBBRE194 prot-CM1) into wild-type Bacillus halodurans CM1 has been conducted. However, the transformation rate seemed low, and the stable recombinant clones could not be obtained. Therefore, in vivo methylation of this plasmid in E. coli has to be done before genetic transformation into the wild-type bacterium, to obtain stable recombinant B. halodurans CM1. In this study, a plasmid with artificial modification (pPAMC125) harboring genes encoding for the modification enzymes (methylases) from another strain, B. halodurans C-125, and pBBRE194 prot-CM1 plasmid were transformed by conjugation into B. halodurans CM1. Specific activity (U/mg) of protease produced by recombinant B. halodurans CM1 was analyzed by measuring activity units (U/mL) by the Amano method and protein quantity (mg/mL) by the Bradford method. The pBBRE194 prot-CM1 might be methylated by methylases that was induced by 0.02% L-arabinose. Conjugation of the methylated pBBRE194 prot-CM1 to B. halodurans CM1 was successfully carried out and recombinant B. halodurans CM1 was verified. The verification of a recombinant clone is based on its ability to degrade proteins on selective media containing skim milk and tetracycline. Also beside, verification based on polymerase chain reaction was also carried out by detecting tetracycline resistance gene sequences. The PCR result in recombinant clone amplified the 1024 bp DNA, which the size of the tetracycline resistance gene in pBBRE194 prot-CM1 plasmid. The analysis of protease activity showed that the specific activity of the recombinant clone (660.700 U/mg) was lower than the negative control, which B. halodurans CM1 wild-type (1054.928 U/mg). The analysis was carried out at 50oC and pH 12.

Endometriosis sering dikaitkan dengan nyeri menstruasi dan nyeri pelvis. Penyakit ini terjadi sekitar 10-15% pada perempuan usia reproduksi . NGF, TRPA1 dan reseptor P2RX3 aktivitas gen terlibat dalam respon nyeri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat ekspresi mRNA gen NGF, reseptor TRPA1 dan reseptor P2RX3 yang diduga disebabkan oleh perubahan tingkat metilasi DNA promoter gen tersebut, serta hubungannya pada intensitas nyeri subjek endometriosis.Sampel jaringan endometrium dan susukan endometriosis peritoneum diperoleh dari 20 subjek endometriosis, sementara jaringan endometrium kontrol diperoleh dari 20 subjek nir endometriosis. Metode yang digunakan untuk analisis metilasi DNA yaitu metode MSP dan perangkat lunak Image-J digunakan untuk menganalisis intensitas pita metilasi dari gen NGF, reseptor TRPA1 dan reseptor P2RX3R, selanjutnya digunakan metode qRT-PCR untuk analisis tingkat mRNA gen-gen tersebut. Penilaian intensitas nyeri dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner standar skala penilaian numerik (NRS) melalui wawancara dengan pasien. Pada penelitian ini didapatkan hasil terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara intensitas nyeri dan kejadian endometriosis (p>0,001). Hasil tersebut dibuktikan dengan terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna tingkat ekspresi relatif mRNA gen NGF, reseptor P2RX3 antara jaringan endometrium endometriosis dibandingkan dengan subjek nir endometriosis masing-masing nilai p= <0,05. Terdapat juga perbedaan yang bermakna tingkat metilasi DNA promotor gen NGF dan reseptor P2RX3 antara jaringan endometrium endometriosis dengan endometrium nir endometriosis (p<0,05). Selanjutnya, terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara ekspesi mRNA NGF dan reseptor Reseptor P2RX3 dengan intensitas nyeri pada endometriosis (p<0,05), namun tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat metilasi DNA dengan ekspresi relatif mRNA gen NGF, reseptor reseptor TRPA1 pada endometriosis begitupun antara metilasi DNA dengan intensitas nyeri pada ketiga gen tersebut (p>0,05). Terjadi perubahan ekspresi relatif mRNA gen NGF, reseptor TRPA1 dan reseptor P2RX3 pada subjek endometriosis yang berhubungan dengan peningkatan intensitas nyeri pada endometriosis, namun mekanisme epigenetik metilasi DNA pada penelitian tersebut tidak berhubungan pada intensitas nyeri endometriosis. ...... Endometriosis is often associated with both cyclic menstrual pain and pelvic pain. It affects 10% of reproductive age women. NGF, TRPA1 and P2RX3 receptors gene activity are found to be involved in pain response. This study aims to analyze the methylation level of NGF gene, TRPA1 and P2RX3 receptors that might alter the mRNA expression in peritoneal endometriosis and endometrial tissue, as well as its correlation to the pain level in endometriosis patients.20 endometrial tissues and 20 peritoneal endometriosis tissues were obtained from patients, while 20 endometrium tissues as control were obtained from healthy women. First, each participant was given informed consent before the research begin. We used methylation specific PCR (MSP) and Image-J software to analyze the methylation level of NGF gene, TRPA1 and P2RX3 receptors; electrophoresis to analyze the band intensity; qRT-PCR to evaluate the mRNA level in each gene. Finally, we evaluated the pain level using the standardized questionnaire of numeric rating scale (NRS) by doing interviews with patients. In this study, it was found that there is a significant relationship between pain intensity and the incidence of endometriosis (p> 0.001). This results is proven by a significant difference in the mRNA expression level of NGF gene and P2RX3 receptor between endometrial endometriosis and endometrial non-endometriosis tissues, with each p value = <0.05. There is also a significant difference in the DNA methylation level of NGF gene and P2RX3 receptor between endometrial endometriosis and endometrial non-endometriosis tissues (p <0.05). There is a significant relationship between the mRNA expression level of NGF gene, P2RX3 receptor and pain intensity in endometrial endometriosis tissues (p <0.05). However, the results showed that there is no correlation between the DNA methylation level and the mRNA expression of NGF gene, TRPA1 and P2RX3 receptors. There is also no correlation between the DNA methylation level of NGF gene, TRPA1 and P2RX3 receptors and pain intensity in endometriosis tissue. There is an alteration of mRNA expression of NGF gene, TRPA1 and P2RX3 receptors which correlates to pain intensity in endometriosis patients. However, there is no correlation between DNA methylation level and pain intensity in endometriosis patients.
