Abstract

In this study, we investigated the effects of frankincense essential oil (BSEO) on the immune cell change in the lung, BALF and PBMC using a mouse model of asthma. BALB/c mice after intraperitoneal OVA sensitization (day 1) were challenged intratracheally with OVA on day 14. Then, the asthma was induced by repeated OVA inhalation challenged. The asthma induced mice group inhaled 0.3% BSEO for 30 minutes per trial, three times a week, for 8 weeks using the nebulizer. After 12 weeks from the experiment, the mice was killed and the lung, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) were obtained. Next, the change of immune cells inside the separated tissues was observed to identity the effects of BSEO on the allergic asthma mice. In conclusion, the hypersensitive reaction of airway to the bronchoconstrictor in the allergic asthma induced mice was effectively suppressed in Frankincense group, in Bermagot, Eucalyptus, Chamomile, Marjoram and Frankincense groups, the natural aromatic essential oil groups. Furthermore, it was also confirmed that the weight of lung, total number of alveolus cells and the number of BALF, MNL and DLN increased after inducing allergic asthma were reduced. BSEO suppressed the percentage of $CD3e^+/CD19^-$, $B220^+/CD23^+$ and $CD11b^+/Gr-1^+$ cells in the lung tissue of allergic asthma mice. Moreover, BSEO also reduced the percentage of $CD4^+/CD8^-$, $B220^+/CD23^+$ and $CD3^+/CCR3^+$ cells in BALF. In addition, the percentage of $CD3e^+/CD19^-$, $CD3^+/CD69^+$ and $B220^+/CD23^+$ cells in PBMC was reduced. The results of this study indicate that BSEO would be effective to treat allergic asthma by the immune control suppressing the activity of immune cells in each tissue.

프랑킨센스 에센셜 오일(BSEO)이 알러지성 천식 생쥐 모델의 폐, BALF 및 PBMC 내 면역세포 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 본 연구는 Balb/c 생쥐를 이용하여 실험 1일에 $100\;{\mu}g$ ovalbumin (OVA)을 복강 내 투여하고, 실험 14일에 $50\;{\mu}g$ OVA를 기도 내 투여하여 감작시킨 후 OVA를 반복 흡입시켜 천식을 유발하였다. 천식 유발 생쥐군에 0.3% BSEO를 8주간, 1주에 3회, 1회에 30분간 nebulizer로 흡입시켰고, 실험일로부터 총 12주 후에 살처분시켜 폐, 기관지 폐포 세척액 (bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; BALF), 말초혈액단핵세포 (peripheral blood mononuc1ear cell; PBMC)를 분리하여 조직 내의 면역세포 변화를 관찰하였다. 본 연구 결과 알러지성 천식 유발 생쥐에서 기관지 수축제에 대한 기도 과민성반응이 천연 아로마 에센셜 오일군인 Bergamot군, Eucalyptus군, Chamomile군, Marjoram군, 및 Frankincense군 중 Frankincense군에서 효과적으로 억제됨을 확인하였다. 또한 알러지성 천식유발로 증가한 폐무게, 총폐포수, BALF수, MNL, DLN수가 억제됨을 확인하였다. BSEO는 알러지성 천적 모델 생쥐의 폐 조직 내의 $CD3e^+/CD19^-$, $B220^+/CD23^+$, $CD11b^+/Gr-1^+$ 세포 비율을 억제하였으며 BALF 내의 $CD4^+/CD8^-$, $B220^+/CD23^+$, $CD3e^+/CCR3^+$ 세포비율을 억제하였다. 또한 PBMC내 $CD3e^+/CD19^-$, $CD3^+/CD69^+$, $B220^+/CD23^+$ 세포비율을 억제하였다. 이러한 결과는 BSEO가 각 조직내의 면역세포의 활성 억제를 통한 면역조절작용으로 알러지성 천식의 치료에 효과적일 것으로 사료되었다.
