Achras Zapota L Reduce Expression Of mRNA High Motility Group Box 1 (HMGB1)

Abstract

Background: Manila sapodilla fruit (Achras zapota L) has been widely known empirically in the community, namely fruit used for the treatment of typhoid fever by means of raw fruit in washing / cleaning then the fruit is shredded and the result of grated squeezed using fine leaves and the filter is drunk in patients with typhoid fever. High Motility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) is a protein that is expressed constitutively in almost all types of cells. Objective: To determine the effect of Manila Palm fruit extract (Achras Zapota L) on the expression of the High Motility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) gene in mice infected with Salmonella typhi. Methods: The method used for extracting sapodilla fruit is the maceration method and the tool used to see changes in HMGB1 mRNA gene expression is PCR with boom extraction method. Conclusion: Some sapodilla manila fruit extract dose 510 mg / KgBB (p = 0.016, p <0.05) (∆ mean = 1.90) and 750 mg / KgBB (p = 0.000, p <0.05) (∆ mean = 4.19), can decrease HMGB1 mRNA expression was observed at day 4, 10 to day 30 with no effect with levofloxacin 98 mg / KgBB (p = 0.000, p <0.05) (∆ mean = 5.97).
