The purpose of this study is to investigate the modulatory effect of wogonin on hydrogen peroxide production in human blastoma SH-SY5Y cells induced by the synthetic analog of double-stranded RNA [polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid]. Hydrogen peroxide production was measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) assay. Wogonin significantly inhibited the polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (PIC)-induced production of hydrogen peroxide for 0.5, 2, 12, 18, and 24 hr incubation at the concentrations of 10, 25, and 50 ${\mu}M$ in SH-SY5Y (P < 0.05) in dose dependent manner. These results suggest that wogonin has neuroprotective property related with its inhibition of hydrogen peroxide production in PIC-induced neuronal cells.

The effect of Sacchromyces cerevisiae-Fermented Artemisiae Argi Folium Water extract (AFS) on hydrogen peroxide production within mouse macrophage Raw 264.7 Cells treated with EtOH, gallic acid, Nicotine, Acetaminophen, and Acetaldehyde was investigated through this study. AFS (0-400 ug/mL) was simultaneously treated with EtOH, gallic acid, Nicotine, Acetaminophen, and Acetaldehyde. And the intracellular productions of hydrogen peroxide were measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) assay. AFS restorated the intracellular productions of hydrogen peroxide reduced by EtOH, gallic acid, Nicotine, Acetaminophen within Raw 264.7 Cells. AFS could be supposed to have the immunological activity concerned with macrophage's oxidative burst.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of water extract from Artemisiae Argi Folium Fermented with Sacchromyces cerevisiae (AFS) on hydrogen peroxide production within human hepatocyte HepG2 cells treated with gallic acid, EtOH, nicotine, acetaminophen, and acetaldehyde. AFS (0~400 ug/mL) was treated with gallic acid, EtOH, nicotine, acetaminophen, and acetaldehyde. And the intracellular productions of hydrogen peroxide were measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) assay. AFS showed the restoration of the intracellular productions of hydrogen peroxide which were reduced by gallic acid, EtOH, nicotine, acetaminophen, and acetaldehyde in HepG2 Cells. AFS could be supposed to have the hepatoprotective effect related with hepatocytologic signaling activity against gallic acid, EtOH, nicotine, acetaminophen, and acetaldehyde.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of water extract from Artemisiae Argi Folium (WAAF) on hepatotoxicity caused by acetaminophen (AAP) and acetaldehyde which are regarded as hepatotoxin. Artemisiae Argi Folium was known to have the antibacterial, immune-enhancing, and anticoagulative properties. In Korean Medicine, Artemisiae Argi Folium is supposed to be related with 'liver meridian' according to traditional medical theory. AAP and acetaldehyde reduce the intracellular production of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) and nitric oxide (NO) production of human hepatocyte HepG2. The intracellular production of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) was measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) assay. NO production was measured with Griess test. WAAF increased the production of $H_2O_2$ and NO reduced by AAP and acetaldehyde in HepG2 cells. Therefore, It could be suggested that WAAF has the hepatoprotective activity against AAP and acetaldehyde.

The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of Red Ginseng-Ejung-tang (RE) on nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide production in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Cell viability was measured by modified MTT assay. NO production was measured by Griess reagent assay. Hydrogen peroxide production was measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) assay. RE did not show cell toxicity against RAW 264.7 for 24 hr incubation at the concentrations of 10, 25, 50, 100, and $200{\mu}g/mL$ in RAW 264.7. RE significantly inhibited NO production for 24 hr incubation at the concentrations of 10, 25, 50, and $100{\mu}g/mL$ in RAW 264.7 (P < 0.05). RE significantly inhibited the LPS-induced production of NO for 24 hr incubation at the concentrations of 10, 25, 50, and $100{\mu}g/mL$ in RAW 264.7 (P < 0.05). RE significantly inhibited the LPS-induced production of hydrogen peroxide for 16, 24, 40, 48, 64, and 72 hr incubation at the concentrations of 50, 100, and $200{\mu}g/mL$ in RAW 264.7 (P < 0.05). These results suggest that RE has anti-inflammatory property related with its inhibition of NO and hydrogen peroxide production in LPS-induced macrophages.

Objectives : The present study was undertaken to investigate the molecular mechanisms of Ichungwhan for inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene expression via suppression of NF-κB (nuclear factor κB) using aged rats. NF-κB is the most important modulator of inflammation and NF-κB regulates the gene expression of several pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as COX-2. Methods : In the experiment, we investigated the scavenging property of Ichungwhan on reactive species (RS) including nitrogen-derived species (RNS), measured by DCF-DA (2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorexcein diacetate) / DHR 123 (dihydrorhodamine 123) assay. Protein expression levels of COX-2, NF-κB, p-ERK and p-p38 were assayed by western blot. Results : We showed that Ichungwhan inhibits RS including RNS and inhibits NF-κB activation by blocking the dissociation of inhibitory IκB-β via suppression of IKK pathway. Also, Ichungwhan inhibits COX-2 gene expression. Conclusions : These findings suggest that Ichungwhan modulates COX-2 gene expression via suppression of the NF-κB pathway.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Baicalein (BA) on the production of hydrogen peroxide in lipoteichoic acid-stimulated RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages. Methods : Lipoteichoic acid-stressed RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages were incubated with baicalein at concentrations of 50 and 100 µM. Incubation time is 30 minutes, 2 h, 12 h, and 18 h. After incubation, The production of hydrogen peroxide in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages was measured with dihydrorhodamine 123 assay. Streptococcus aureus lipoteichoic acid and Streptococcus pyogenes lipoteichoic acid were used as cell-stimulating lipoteichoic acid. Cell viabilities were measured with a modified MTT assay. Berberine, indomethacin, and gallic acid were incubated for the same time as the comparative materials. Results : BA at the concentration of 50 and 100 µM did not show cytotoxicity on RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages for 24 h incubation. For 30 minutes, 2 h, 12 h, and 18 h incubation, BA at the concentration of 50 and 100 µM significantly inhibited the production of hydrogen peroxide in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages stimulated by Streptococcus aureus lipoteichoic acid (p < 0.05); also, BA at the concentration of 50 and 100 µM also inhibited the productions of hydrogen peroxide in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages stimulated by Streptococcus pyogenes lipoteichoic acid significantly (p < 0.05). Conclusions : BA might have anti-bacterial activity related to its inhibition of hydrogen peroxide production in lipoteichoic acid-stimulated RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages.
