EFFECT OF Cayratia trifolia L (Domin) EXTRACT ON REDUCED EXPRESSION OF MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE-9 (MMP–9) AND VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR –A (VEGF-A) IN WHITE RATS WITH BREAST CANCER

Abstract

The number of cancer cases in every year has increased. One effort in reducing breast cancer cases is by using anti-angiogenesis which could prevent the growth and metastasis of cancer cells. Xxx the process of angiogenesis and metastasis in cancer cells are associated with the expression of Matrixmetalloproteinase- 9 (MMP-9) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). To reduce metastasis in cancer cells, it can be performed by giving plant extracts Cayratiatrifolia L (Domin), containing the active compound Resveratrol, delphinidin/malvidin and Quercetin. The content of the chemical compound of these herbs has immunomodulatory effects, which could potentially prevent angiopoitin, FGF and decrease angiogenesis and neovascularization. So, the metastatic cancer cells can be inhibited. Objective to analyze the effect of the ethanol plant extract Cayratiatrifolia L (Domin) toward the reduction of Matrixmetalloproteinase Expression.-9 (MMP-9) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) on white rat of breast cancer models. This study used pure experiment laboratory (True Experimental) with Randomized design study. Post Test was only applied on Control Group Design. This research used experimental female animal Sprague Dawley Rattus which consisted of 30 individuals divided into three groups, from aged 30-40 days. In this research the number of K0 consisted of 5 individual, 6 Kl and 8 KP. KP is a group of experimental animals with breast cancer who were given Cayratiatrifolia extract as much as 300 mg/kg for four weeks. To create animal cancer models, the researcher used DMBA a dose of 10 mg/kg given orally. The measured variables were cells expressing Matrixmetalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), differential test applied in this study is Manova. Results based on the statistical analysis of MMP-9 and VEGF-A, between the KI to KP showed a significant difference (p <0.05). Cayratiatrifolia plant extract orally can decrease the number of cells that express MMP-9 and the number of cells that express VEGF-A. The ethanol extract of plants Cayratiatrifolia L (Domain) can reduce the expression Matrixmetalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on white rat of breast cancer models.
