Introduction: Colorectal cancer is a disease that occurs from three major pathways: sporadic, hereditary, and
inflammatory. Carica pubescens (CP) have potential chemopreventive effects. This study wants to determine the
effect of CP leaf extract on the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), erythrocyte count, and colon histopathological appearance of rats induced by dimethylhydrazine (DMH). Methods: The samples were Sprague Dawley rats
(n=35, male, 5-7 weeks aged, 150-200 grams). NC was the normal control group. The DMH group was induced
by 20 mg/kg BW of DMH (subcutaneously) once a week for 15 weeks. CP75, CP150, and CP300 were induced
by DMH and given CP leaf extract orally at doses of 75, 150, and 300 mg/kg BW, once daily for 15 weeks. The
neutrophil, lymphocyte, and erythrocyte count were measured using hematology analyzer. The histopathological
appearance shows the percentage of total aberrant crypt foci, and the degrees of inflammation cells. Results: The
NLR of CP75 (0,23±0,042), CP150 (0,26±0,018), and CP300 (0,21±0,039) was significantly lower than
DMH (0,64±0,239), p<0,001. The erythrocyte count of CP150 (8,89±1,082 x106 cell/μL; p=0,034) and
CP300 (9,24±0,396 x106
cell/μL; p=0,006) was significantly higher than DMH (7,87±0,641 x106
cell/μL). The
percentage of total aberrant crypt foci of CP75 (15,71±5,345%,p=0,006), CP150 (18,57±6,901%,p=0,014),
and CP300 (5,71±5,345%,p=0,001) was significantly lower than DMH (59,29±32,714%). Conclusion: Carica
pubescens leaf extract may reduce the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, percentage of total aberrant crypt foci and
inflammation degree in colon histopathological appearance, otherwise increase the number of erythrocyte in
DMH-induced colon cancer rats.
