ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the regenerating junctional epithelium (JE) during orthodontic tooth movement in rats. Materials and Methods: Closed-coil springs were used to create a 20 g mesial force to the maxillary first molars. On days 1, 3, 7, 10, and 14 after force application, histologic changes in JE were examined by immunohistochemistry using proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein (ODAM), and cytokeratin 14 (CK14). Results: On day 1, JE was destroyed and lost attachment to the tooth surface. Cell division activity was rarely observed in JE, and ODAM localization was weakly detected in damaged JE. By day 3, regenerating JE had not fully recovered. High cell proliferation activity and CK14 expression started to appear in most basal cells of JE. ODAM expression was reduced and appeared in a small area. By day 7, JE had almost recovered. Cell proliferation activity was still observed in several basal cells of JE, and ODAM expression was detected among JE cells. CK14 was hardly observed in JE except in the basal cells. By days 10 and 14, regenerated JE appeared. ODAM, PCNA, and CK14 expression was similar to that of the control. Conclusions: Damaged JE might recover rapidly during orthodontic tooth movement because basal cells of the remaining JE, which show higher proliferation activity, are involved in JE regeneration. Reduced ODAM expression during proliferation of JE cells may increase again after JE regeneration is complete. Therefore, ODAM may be associated with the normal function of JE.

Multioocyte follicles (MOF) are follicles that enclose two or more oocytes. They have been described in many mammalian species, but there is no evidence about their activity in the ovaries. The aim was to estimate the prevalence of MOF and to compare the cell proliferation activity between follicles containing one or more oocytes in the ovaries of prepubertal and adult bitches. Eighty ovaries from prepubertal (n = 20) and adult bitches (n = 20) were obtained by elective ovariohysterectomy (OHE). Immediately after OHE, ovaries were immersed in Bouin's fixative for histological processing. 5 µm thick sections were mounted on histological slides and stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and hematoxylin. Cell proliferation was evaluated by immunohistochemistry using the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Monoclonal antibody PCNA (clone PC1O, 1 : 200 dilution, Biocare, Concord, CA, USA) was used according to manufacturer's instructions and an antibody diluent was used as a negative control. Slides were counterstained with hematoxylin and examined at 200× to 400× magnification under light microscope. Only cells showing PCNA signal exclusively in the nucleus were considered positive. The prevalence of MOF in the ovaries was compared using a Fisher's exact test (P < 0.05). In all females, the prevalence of MOF was 55% (22/40). MOF containing two or three oocytes were more abundant; however, multioocyte follicles with up to 12 oocytes were observed. The prevalence of MOF at the primordial stage was higher for prepubertal bitches (47 v. 28%) but adult bitches exhibited a higher frequency of secondary MOF (49 v. 25%; P < 0.05). There was no difference in the prevalence of MOF at primary stage between prepubertal and adult bitches (28 v. 23%; P > 0.05). Regarding the cell proliferation activity, PCNA immunoreactivity was detected in oocyte nucleus and granulosa cells of multioocyte follicles at different stages of development. Similarly to what was observed for follicles containing only one oocyte, all nuclei of oocytes within multioocyte follicles exhibited PCNA immunoreactivity and there was a gradual increasing of immunoreactivity in granulosa cells according to the stage of follicular growth. Expression of PCNA by granulosa cells of multioocyte follicles was higher in the secondary and antral stage of development; however, some primordial and primary follicles also exhibited some PCNA-positive cells. In conclusion, the prevalence of MOF at the primordial stage of development was higher in prepubertal bitches, whereas MOF at the secondary stage were more frequent in adult bitches. The PCNA expression pattern by the oocyte nucleus of multioocyte follicles was similar to that observed in follicles containing only one oocyte, which is suggestive of similar activity between these follicles. Furthermore, the presence of proliferative activity in granulosa cells of multioocyte follicles suggests an association of the PCNA expression with more advanced stages of follicular growth.

The cell proliferation activity of proliferating bile ducts produced by bile duct ligation (BDL) in rats was examined histologically, immunohistochemically, and ultrastructurally. Proliferating bile ducts, which were similar to normal bile ducts, increased with time after BDL. The cell proliferation activity of proliferating bile ducts, measured using proliferating-cell nuclear antigen and 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine antibodies, tended to be high at 1 and 3 days after BDL and decreased progressively at 2 to 4 weeks after BDL. On the other hand, α-smooth muscle actin-positive myofibroblast-like cells increased continuously after BDL. These findings indicate that there is a negative correlation between the cell proliferation activity of proliferating bile ducts and that of myofibroblast-like cells.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the activity of combination of hydrolyzed VCO (HVCO) and chitosan on NIH 3T3 cell proliferation activity, NIH 3T3 cell migration, COX-2 and VEGF protein expression. Design: In vitro cytotoxic assay was determined by MTT (MicrocultureTetrazoliumTehnique) assay, cell proliferation activity was measured by calculating cell viability incubated 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours, wound closure percentage was tested by scratch wound healing method, expression of COX-2 protein and VEGF protein were measured by immunocytochemical method. Interventions: The variable that was intervened in this study was the concentration of HVCO and chitosan. Main Outcome Measures: The main measurements carried out in this study were the absorbance value of HVCO and chitosan which was converted into viability cell, proliferation activity, percentage of wound closure, and percentage of COX-2 and VEGF protein expression. Results: Cytotoxic activity of HVCO and chitosan resulted the best concentration at 31.25 μg/ml, scratch wound healing assay from a combination HVCO and chitosan resulted the best migration of fibroblast cells at a ratio of 1:1 with HVCO 62.5 μg/ml and chitosan 62.5 μg/ml, combination of HVCO 62.5 μg/ml and chitosan 62.5 μg/ml (1:1) increased expression of COX-2 and VEGF. Conclusion: Combination of HVCO and chitosan could increase NIH 3T3 cell migration, COX-2 and VEGF protein expression. Combination of HVCO and chitosan had better wound healing activity in vitro than single use. Keywords: Rhizomucor miehei, viability, proliferation, migration, expression

Objectives: Medicinal plants and herbs are used in combination in Ayurveda and folklore medicine as they exhibit good cytotoxic activity. In the present study, the antioxidant, phytochemical, and cell proliferation activity of the combined crude methanolic extract of Ficus religiosa and Ficus benghalensis leaves were investigated.Methods: Antioxidant activity was performed by 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH) and hydrogen peroxide methods, and the presence of the phytochemicals was screened using the gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The extract was further evaluated for its cell proliferation activity against cancer cells using the mitochondrial reduction assay. Antioxidant property of the extracts was measured using the DPPH, hydrogen peroxide, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power assay, respectively, using the UV spectrophotometer.Results: The combined extract exhibited strong antioxidant potential in DPPH assay by increase in the percentage of inhibition with the increase in concentration. Similarly, the IC50 value of the methanol extract in peroxidase scavenging activity was 49.85 μg/mL comparatively lower than the ascorbic acid used as standard. The phytochemical analysis of the methanol extract showed the presence of nine phytoconstituents, which exhibit antioxidant and anticancer property. Mitochondrial reduction assay performed to evaluate the cell proliferation activity of the combined leave extract showed that increase in the concentration of the extract decreased the cell proliferation in the HeLa cell line.Conclusion: The results of present study show a possible synergistic activity of leaves against human cervical cancer.
