Chemokines are important for the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of infection, which is essential in host defense. The thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) is a CC chemokine which potentially plays a role via a paracrine mechanism in the development of allergic respiratory diseases. Objectives : The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Youn-Gyo-Pae-Doc-San on the secretion of TARC of human bronchial epithelial cell Methods : Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect the secretion of TARC. The cytotoxicity was measured by MTT assay. Results : Youn-Gyo-Pae-Doc-San significantly inhibited the secretion of TARC with a dose -dependant manner. The effective dosage did not have the cytotoxicity on human bronchial epithelial cell. Conclusions : Results of our study show that Youn-Gyo-Pae-Doc-San would play an important role in modulation of TARC in human bronchial epithelial cells.
