Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of Syzygium aromaticum (SAE) spread on the allergic contact dermatitis caused by 2,4-dinitro-chlorobezene (DNCB). Methods : Forty-two mice were divided into six groups ; normal, negative control (DNCB-treated), positive control (DNCB + 1% pimecrolimus), experimental group I, II and III. control and experimental groups were induced allergic contact dermatitis by DNCB. Experimental group I(DNCB + 0.2% SAE), II(DNCB + 1% SAE) and III(DNCB + 5% SAE) were spread SAE and positive control was spread the 1% pimecrolimus. In this study, effect of SAE on clinical aspects on the skin, histopathological change, the blood level of IgE, cytokines, histamine were investigated. In addition, effect of SAE on spleen $CD4^+/CD8^+$ T cell subset was investigated. Results : 1. In experimental group I, II and III, erythemas and edema were more reduced than negative control. 2. In experimental group I, II and III inflammatory edema and the numbers of infiltrated inflammatory cells were more reduced than negative control. 3. In experimental group I, II and III, clinical skin score was more reduced than negative control. 4. In experimental group II and III, the thickness of skin was statistically significant reduced than negative control. 5. In experimental group II and III, histamine release was statistically significant reduced than negative control in dose-dependantly. 6. In experimental group II and III, cytokines (IL-1${\beta}$, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10) were statistically significant reduced than negative control in dose-dependantly. 7. In experimental group I, II and III, the level of total IgE was statistically significant reduced than negative control in dose-dependantly. 8. In experimental group III, $CD4^+$ and $CD8^+$ T cells were statistically significant decreased similar to the positive control. Conclusions : According to above experiments, Syzygium aromaticum(SAE) was effective on allergic contact dermatitis.

목적 : 본 연구에서는 정향 에탄올 추출물이 RBL-2H3 세포 매개 알레르기 반응에 대해 미치는 영향과 그 작용기전에 대해 연구했다. 방법 : 정향 에탄올 추출물의 RBL-2H3 세포에 대한 독성 여부는 MTT 분석을 통해 평가했다. 정향 에탄올 추출물의 항알러지 작용은 효소결합면역 분석방법(ELISA)을 이용해 ${\beta}$-Hexosaminidase과 Histamine의 분비량을 측정하여 평가하였다. 정향 에탄올 추출물의 작용기전에 대해서는 유사 분열물질-활성화단백질인산화효소(mitogen-activated protein kinase, MAPK)를 western blot 법을 이용하여 측정함으로써 평가하였다. 결과 : 정향의 에탄올 추출물은 RBL-2H3 세포에 대해 독성을 나타내지 않는 농도에서 RBL-2H3 세포의 탈과립과 히스타민 분비를 유의하게 억제하였으며, p38 MAPK의 활성을 차단하였다. 결론 : 본 연구의 결과 정향의 에탄올 추출물은 비만세포에서 유래된 알러지 반응을 억제하는 효과가 있으며, 또한 그 작용기전은 p38 MAPK 인산화와 연계되어 있을 것으로 사료된다.
