Objectives : Allium hookeri is a well-known traditional herbal remedy and its root used for treatment of inflammation and tumor. However, the mechanism of anti-inflammatory effect of Allium hookeri is still unknown. This study aims to examine the mechanism of anti-inflammatory effect of Allium hookeri on mouse macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 cells. Methods : Anti-oxidant effect of water extract of Allium hookeri (WEAH) was measured by 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) assay. 3- (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay was performed to determine the effect of WEAH on cell viability in RAW 264.7 cells. In addition, anti-inflammatory effect of WEAH was investigated in RAW 264.7 cells. Inflammation of RAW 264.7 cells induced by lipopolysarccharide (LPS) treatment and expression levels of inflammatory cytokine interleukin 1 β (IL-1β) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) gene were analyzed using quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B (IκBα) after LPS treatment with WEAH-treated RAW 264.7 cells was confirmed by immunoblot analysis. Results : WEAH showed a strong anti-oxidant effect and no cytotoxicity to RAW 264.7 cells up to 2 mg/㎖ concentration. The LPS-induced mRNA expression levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were decreased by WEAH treatment. Furthermore, the LPS-induced phosphorylation of IκBα is attenuated by WEAH treatment. Conclusions : Through experimental demonstration of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of WEAH, we suggest that Allium hookeri is a valuable material for prevention and treatment of various inflammatory diseases.

Purpose : The Purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of Cheongyeolhawlhyeoltanggagyehyeoldeung (CYHHT) on anti-inflammatory effects. Methods : As for the parameters of inflammation, levels of several inflammatory cytokines and chemical mediators were determined in mouse lung fibroblast cells(mLFC) and RAW264.7 cells. Also, changes in pathological features by drug treatment were investigated in the in vivo edema-induced rats by carrageenin /arachidonic acid or in the colitis-induced mice by DSS treatment. Results : The cytotoxicity of CYHHT on mLFC and RAW264.7 cells was not observed at 100, 50, 10, and $1{\mu}g/ml$ of CYHHT treatments. $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 and NOS-IImRNA expression of RAW264.7 cells was inhibited by CYHHT treatments in a dose-dependent manner. CYHHT treatment of RAW264.7 cells inhibited $TNF-{\alpha}$ and COX-2 mRNA expression. CYHHT treatment of RAW264.7 cells significantly inhibited IL-6 and NO production. CYHHT treatment of RAW264.7 cells inhibited ROS production. CYHHT inhibited rat's paw edema induced by carrageenin or arachidonate treatment in all concentrations examined. The body weight and colon length of colitis-induced mice were recovered to a normal level by DSS treatment. Clinical disease levels were significantly improved compared to the control animals. CYHHT treatment of colitis-induced mice significantly increased hematological values such as WBC and RBC counts, Hgb and HCT levels, but decreased PLT values. CYHHT treatment of colitis-induced mice decreased IL-6 and $TNF-{\alpha}$ production significantly CYHHT treatment of colitis-induced mice significantly increased CD3+(T) cell counts. In contrast, CYHHT treatment decreased CD19+ B cell counts and CD3+/CD69+ significantly, and also decreased B/T ratio (%) though not significant. Conclusion : These results indicated that CYHHT could be used for treating diverse female diseases caused by the inflammation.

Flos Lonicerae Japonicae (the flower buds of Lonicera japonica Thunberg) has been used as an antibacterial and antiviral drug in Korean Medicine. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Flos Lonicerae Japonicae water extract (FL) on the production of cytokines in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). After 24 h treatment, the production of various cytokines from RAW 264.7 was measured with multiplex cytokine assay using Bio-Plex 200 suspension array system. FL at concentrations of 50, 100, and 200 ㎍/mL significantly inhibited productions of tumor necrosis factor-α, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1β, and MIP-2 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells; FL at concentrations of 100 and 200 ㎍/mL significantly inhibited productions of leukemia inhibitory factor, LIX (CXCL5), and RANTES in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells; FL at concentrations of 200 ㎍/mL significantly inhibited productions of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and macrophage colony-stimulating factor in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells; FL at concentrations of 50 and 100 ㎍/mL significantly increased productions of interleukin (IL)-10 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells; FL at concentrations of 50, 100, and 200 ㎍/mL significantly increased productions of IL-6 and interferon gamma-induced protein-10 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells; FL at concentrations of 100 and 200 ㎍/mL significantly increased productions of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Taken together, these data mean that FL might modulate productions of cytokines, chemokines, and growth factor in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Further study needs to verify the exact mechanism for modulatory activities of FL with macrophages.

Objectives : To develop natural ingredients that help prevent or treat anti-inflammatory-related diseases and use themas basic data, we investigated anti-inflammatory activity of Cynanchi Atrati Radix Et Rhizoma water extracts(CWE) in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced murine macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 cells. Methods : The cell viabilities were evaluated with RAW 264.7 cells. The production of nitric oxide(NO), prostaglandin E2(PGE2), pro-inflammatory cytokines such tumor necrotic factor(TNF)-α and interleukin(IL)-6 were assessed in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cell treated with CWE. Furthermore, the protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2), and mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) were assessed by western blotting. Results : In RAW 264.7 cell, the cell viability by CWE treatment was more than 98.4% at a concentration of 100-400 ㎍/mL. At a concentration of 800 ug/ml of CWE, the cell viability was as low as 86%. At doses of 100, 200 and 400 ㎍/mL, CWE inhibited the production of NO, PGE2, TNF-𝛼 and IL-6 in a dose-dependent manner and also decreased the expression of iNOS and COX-2 from LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. In addition, CWE significantly inhibited the MAPK pathway including decreased the phosphorylation of the p38, c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK1/2). Conclusions : Our study provides evidence that CWE inhibits the production of main pro-inflammatory molecules in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells via expression of p38, JNK, and ERK1/2 MAPK signaling pathways. Therefore, CWE is expected to be widely used as a natural ingredient for anti-inflammatory functional foods or pharmaceuticals in the future.

전립선암은 전이성 종양 중의 하나로 치료를 위해 호르몬 요법이나 외과 적 거세 방법이 주로 수행되지만 많은 부작용을 나타내었다. 최근 많은 연구자들이 이러한 상황을 해결하기 위해 종양 미세 환경을 연구하고 있으며 그 중 면역 세포, 특히 대식세포는 종양 미세 환경의 중요한 구성요소이다. 정상적인 조건에서 대식세포는 여러 암세포에 대해 약한 종양 살균 활성을 갖으나 $interferon-{\gamma}$ 또는 lipopolysaccharide에 의해 활성화되면, 염증성 사이토카인 및 케모카인을 분비함으로써 암세포를 직접 또는 간접적으로 사멸 시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는, 마우스 대식세포인 RAW 264.7 세포에 Phellinus linteus 추출물을 처리하여 산화질소의 방출과 pro-inflammatory cytokine들을 real-time PCR과 ELISA 방법으로 분석하였다. RAW 264.7의 조정 배지는 48시간 동안 전립선 암세포처리하여 상피간엽세포전이 관련 유전자의 발현을 측정 하였다. 그 때에 mesenchymal 관련 유전자들인 N-cadherin, snail, twist, slug 및 cadherin 11이 감소했을 뿐만 아니라 epithelial 관련 유전자인 E-cadherin은 증가하였다. 또한 암 전이 및 신생 혈관 형성에 관여하는 vimentin, ccl2 및 vegfa가 감소되었는데, 이는 EMT가 암세포의 이동과 침범에 밀접한 관련이 있기 때문이다. 따라서 Phellinus linteu에 의해 자극된 RAW 264.7 세포의 조정 배지는 인간 전립선 암세포주인 PC-3 세포의 이동과 전이를 억제하고 EMT 경로를 조절한다는 것을 나타낸다.

Desmarestia tabacoides Okamura는 전 세계적으로 널리 분포하는 갈조류 중 하나이다. 몇몇 산말류의 항종양, 멜라닌 생성 억제 및 광보호 활성에 대한 연구는 있었으나 D. tabacoides Okamura의 항염증 기전에 대해서는 보고되지 않아 본 연구에서는 LPS (lipopolysaccharide)로 자극된 RAW 264.7 세포에서 D. tabacoides Okamura 에탄올 추출물(DTEE)의 항염증 기전을 inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)와 cyclooxygenase (COX)-2의 발현 및 이들의 상위신호전달물질인 nuclear factor (NF)-κB, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) 그리고 phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt의 인산화 조절 정도를 통해 분석하였다. DTEE의 처리는 세포 독성 없이 LPS로 유도된 NO와 prostaglandin (PG) E₂의 생성과 이들의 생성 효소인 iNOS 및 COX-2의 발현을 유의하게 억제하였다. 그리고 LPS에 의해 활성화된 NF-κB 및 상위 신호 전달 물질인 extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun NH₂-terminal kinase (JNK) 및 p38은 DTEE 처리에 의해 유의적으로 억제되었다. DTEE의 처리는 RAW 264.7 세포에서 LPS에 의해 활성화되는 adaptor molecule인 Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 및 myeloid differentiation primary response (MyD) 88 또한 유의적으로 억제하였다. 이 결과를 통해 DTEE는 LPS에 의해 유도된 TLR4와 NF-κB 및 MAPK의 활성을 억제함으로써 염증 매개인자의 발현을 조절하였고, 이는 DTEE가 염증을 완화할 수 있는 기능성 식품의 소재로써 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.
