Abstract
Smilacis Chinae Radix has been used as an anti-inflammatory agent. This study was performed to anti-inflammatory and MAP kinase signaling pathway in vitro. Experimental studies were obtained by measuring the Cytotoxicity, production of NO, PGE2, TNF-$\alpha$ and protein level of catalase, SOD, MAP kinase, The results were summarized as follows: Smilacis Chinae Radix was not cytotoxic effects against Raw264.7 and HEK293 cells. Concentration of $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ Smilacis Chinae Radix inhibited the production of NO in the Raw264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. All concentrations of Smilacis Chinae Radix not significantly inhibited the production of PGE2 in the Raw264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. All concentrations of Smilacis Chinae Radix did not inhibit the production of TNF-$\alpha$ in the Raw264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. Smilacis Chinae Radix has not effect of blocking NF-${\kappa}B$ into nucleus in LPS-induced macrophage Raw264.7 cell. Smilacis Chinae Radix has the effect of Cytoprotection through activation of ERK and inhibition of p38 and JNK. Accordingly the results show Smilacis Chinae Radix could induce anti-inflammation and Cytoprotection effects against In vitro, but it needs more research on the precise mechanism of such effects.
