Effect of gynura procumbens aqueous extraction on interleukin-2 production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells / Nadirah Anis Che Abdullah

Immunomodulation is a process which can modify the immune system of an organism by intruding with its function. Medicinal herbs and their bioactive component had indicated to be a crucial source of immunomodulators. Research has proven that the herbal preparation from plant can be safer and effectiv...

Research has proven that the herbal preparation from plant can be safer and effective rather than conventional medicines. Objective: In this study, we want to determine the effect of Gynura procumbens aqueous extraction on Interleukin-2 expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells. Method: Three different doses (50, 200 and 800 μg/ml) of Gynura procumbens are cultured on PBMCs with or without inhibitors (CLI-095 and Polymyxin B sulfate) to determine the expression of the IL-2 using Luminex assay. Result: Result indicated Gynura procumbens aqueous extraction has immunomodulatory effect. Data was analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare between control group and treated groups of different doses of Gynura procumbens were not significantly different (P >0.005), as well as co-treatment with inhibitors which analyzed using Independent sample t-test also shows not significantly different (P >0.005). Conclusion: Gynura procumbens aqueous extract has an immunomodulatory effect in PBMCs on expression of IL-2. 2016 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/101217/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/101217/1/101217.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Health Sciences
