Artemisiae Asiaticae Herba (AAH) has been used to remedy of symptoms such as bleeding, dysmenorrhea, eczema and itchy skin in Oriental Medicine. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of AAH on allergic response. The effect of AAH was analyzed by ELISA and RT-PCR in RBL-2H3 cells. We investigated cell viability, ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase and histamine as markers of degranulation, production of IL-4 and TNF-${\alpha}$, and gene expression of HDC2, cytokines and $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ ${\alpha}{\beta}{\gamma}$ subunit. We found that AAH suppressed ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase and histamine release, the production of IL-4 and TNF-${\alpha}$ in RBL-2H3 by the anti-DNP IgE plus DNP-HSA stimulation. AAH also significantly decreased cytokine mRNA expressions, such as IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-12, IL-13, TNF-${\alpha}$, and GM-CSF, and increased cytokine mRNA expressions of IL-10 in RBL-2H3. In addition, AAH suppressed mRNA expression of $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ ${\alpha}{\beta}{\gamma}$ subunit on cell surface. Our results indicate that AAH protects against allergic response and exerts an anti-inflammatory effect through the inhibition of degranulation and production of cytokines and expression of $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ ${\alpha}{\beta}{\gamma}$ subunit.

Mast cells are involved in allergic responses, protection against pathogens and autoimmune diseases. Dexamethasone (Dex) and other glucocorticoids suppress $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$-mediated release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells. The inhibition mechanisms were mainly investigated on the downstream signaling of Fc receptor activations. Here, we addressed the effects of Dex on Fc receptor expressions in rat mast cell line RBL-2H3. We measured mRNA levels of Fc receptors by real-time PCR. As expected, Dex decreased the mRNA levels of activating Fc receptor for IgE ($Fc{\varepsilon}R$) I and increased the mRNA levels of the inhibitory Fc receptor for IgG $Fc{\gamma}RIIb$. Interestingly, Dex stimulated transcriptions of other activating receptors such as Fc receptors for IgG ($Fc{\gamma}R$) I and $Fc{\gamma}RIII$. To investigate the mechanisms underlying transcriptional regulation, we employed a transcription inhibitor actinomycin D and a translation inhibitor cycloheximide. The inhibition of protein synthesis without Dex treatment enhanced $Fc{\gamma}RI$ and $Fc{\gamma}RIII$ mRNA levels potently, while $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ and $Fc{\gamma}RIIb$ were minimally affected. Next, we examined expressions of the Fc receptors on cell surfaces by the flow cytometric method. Only $Fc{\gamma}RIIb$ protein expression was significantly enhanced by Dex treatment, while $Fc{\gamma}RI$, $Fc{\gamma}RIII$ and $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ expression levels were marginally changed. Our data showed, for the first time, that Dex regulates Fc receptor expressions resulting in augmentation of the inhibitory receptor $Fc{\gamma}RIIb$.

본 연구에서는 제주 자생해조류인 감태로부터 제조한 ethyl acetate 분획물의 비만 세포에 대한 항알러지 활성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. IgE/BSA로 활성화시킨 비만 세포에서 EC-EtoAc는 세포 독성 없이 비만 세포의 탈과립 지표로 사용되는 ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase의 분비 뿐만 아니라 알러지 유발성 케모카인(TARC)과 사이토카인(IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IFN-${\gamma}$ 및 TNF-${\alpha}$)의 mRNA 발현을 억제하였다. 또한, EC-EtoAc는 비만 세포의 표면 리셉터인 $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$의 발현 및 IgE와 $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$의 결합능을 감소시켰다. 이 모든 결과로부터, 감태 유래 분획물인 EC-EtoAc가 활성화된 비만 세포에서 $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$의 발현 및 IgE와 $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$의 결합능을 감소시킴으로써 알러지 유발성 매개 인자들의 분비와 발현 등을 감소시켜 항알러지 효능을 가진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 이 연구 결과는 EC-EtoAc가 항알러지 효능을 보이는 천연 소재로서 이용가치가 있다는 것을 제시한다.

The signaling components of high affinity IgE receptor (Fc RI) were searched by yeast-hybrid screening of the cDNA library constructed from RBL-2H3 cells. The cytoplasmic part of the Fc RI- chain was found to specifically interact with PLC 2, and further comparatives studies were conducted focusing on the differential regulation of two PLC- isoforms through Fc RI. The inhibitors of Src, Syk, and protein kinase C similarly affected the tyrosine phosporylations of PLC 1 and PLC 2 but the inhibitors of PI3-kinase and p42/44 ERK effectively inhibited the activation of PLC 1 but not PLC 2.

Objectives Hataedock is an orally-administered herbal extract that used to treat toxic heat and help excrete meconium accumulates in the fetus from pregnancy. This study compared the effects of Hataedock using the extract of Douchi and omega-3 to control inflammation in the colonic mucosa. Methods NC/Nga mice were divided into three groups; Control group (no treatment), FGT group (given the extract of Douchi), and O3T group (given omega-3). The 3-week-old mouse from each group were given the extract of Douchi and omega-3. After 2 weeks, the colonic mucosa tissues of the mice were observed via Immunohistochemical staining for IL-4, IL-13, CD40, $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$, $p-I{\kappa}B$, EGF in the intestinal mucosa. Results In both FGT and O3T group, IL-4, IL-13, STAT-6 levels and CD40-positive reactions were decreased. However, EGF-positive responses were increased. FGT group showed 35% decrease in IL-4, 45% decrease in IL-13, 48% decrease in CD40, 50% decrease in $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$, 54% decrease in $p-I{\kappa}B$, 52% increase in EGF compared to the control group. O3T group also showed 14% decrease in IL-4, 23% decrease in IL-13, 22% decrease in CD40, 29% decrease in $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$, 41% decrease in $p-I{\kappa}B$, 39% increase in EGF compared to the control group. Conclusions Both early administration of Douchi extract and omega-3 were effective in regulating Th2, relieving inflammation and developing colonic mucosal tissues. Hataedock with Douchi extract may be more effective in modulating immune system in colonic mucosa than omega-3.

Objectives Hataedock is a treatment that dispels toxic heat and meconium which has been accumulated to the fetus from a pregnant mother via orally administering herbal extracts to a newborn baby. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of Hataedock, with using the extract of Coptis japonica & Glycyrrhiza uralensis, to the early administration of probiotics for immunomodulation in the intestinal mucosa. Methods NC/Nga mice were divided into three groups; Control group (no treatment), CGT group (3-week-old mice given the extract of Coptis japonica & Glycyrrhiza uralensis), and MBT group (3-week-old mice given a Bifidobacterium). After 2 weeks, the intestinal mucosa tissues of each group of mice were observed. Immunohistochemical staining for IL-4, IL-13, CD40, $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$, $p-I{\kappa}B$, EGF, and VEGF in the intestinal mucosa was performed. Results CGT group showed 65% decrease in IL-4, 67% decrease in IL-13, 58% decrease in CD40, 72% decrease in $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$, 76% decrease in $p-I{\kappa}B$, 41% increase in EGF and 100% increase in VEGF compared to the control group. MBT group also showed 50% decrease in IL-4, 63% decrease in IL-13, 33% decrease in CD40, 53% decrease in $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$, 46% decrease in $p-I{\kappa}B$, 23% increase in EGF and 151% increase in VEGF compared to the control group. Conclusions These results suggest that both Hataedock, with using the extract of Coptis japonica & Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and early administration of probiotics were effective in regulating Th2, relieving inflammation and developing intestinal mucosal tissues. Hataedock with extract of Coptis japonica & Glycyrrhiza uralensis may be more effective for immunomodulation in intestinal mucosa than probiotics.

세포내 $Ca^{{+}{+}}$의 증가는 비만세포에서 수용체 활성을 거치지 않고 탈과립을 유도한다. 괴화는 천연 염색 재료로 사용되고 있으며, 또한 항염증 작용과 $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$와 IgE 가교에 의한 항알레르기 효능도 보고되었다. 이번 연구에서 비만세포에서 $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ 유입에 의해 생산되는 알레르기 매개물에 대한 괴화 추출물의 조절 기능을 보고한다. 괴화 추출물은 A23187에 의해 유도되는 IL-4와 TNF-${\alpha}$의 생산과 탈과립을 저해하였다. 또한 괴화 추출물은 DNFB로 유도한 알레르기 피부염의 동물 모델에서 알레르기 반응을 억제하였다. 괴화추출물 50 mg/kg을 경구투여 또는 도말을 한 경우, DNFB를 단독으로 처리한 군보다 IL-4, TNF 그리고 IFN-${\gamma}$와 같은 염증성 사이토카인의 생산량이 감소하였다. 또한 괴화 추출물을 처리한 경우 혈청 내 IgE의 함량이 DNFB를 단독으로 처리한 군보다 감소하였다. 괴화 추출물을 처리한 군에서의 비장과 림프절의 무게도 DNFB를 단독으로 처리한 군보다 감소하였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 괴화는 비만세포에서 $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$ 자극뿐만 아니라 $Ca^{{+}{+}}$의 유입에 의한 항알레르기 효능이 있다는 것을 보고한다.
