In this study, we investigate anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects of Leonurus sibiricus seed (LSS) extract in basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cells. To identify anti-allergic actions of LSS, the degranulation was evaluated in IgE and DNP-BSA stimulated RBL-2H3 cells. At the concentration of $100{\mu}g/ml$ of methanol (MeOH) extract and Methylene chloride (MC) and Ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fractions, the degranulation was significantly inhibited 16.7%, 16.7% and 27.9% respectively. And then, to assess anti-inflammatory effects of LSS, IL-4 and IL-13 mRNA level were detected in PMA/ionomycin (PI)-induced RBL-2H3 cells and cell proliferation and IL-4 mRNA level in isolated splenocytes from Balb/c mice. LSS MeOH extract and MC and EtOAc fractions significantly decreased the level of IL-4 and IL-13 mRNA in PI-induced RBL-2H3 cells and showed inhibitory effects on cell proliferation and expression of IL-4 mRNA level in mouse splenocytes. Taken together, these results suggest that LSS has potential anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects and EtOAc fraction is the most effective in regulating immune responses.

The Salvia plebeia R. which is the biennial plant belonging to the labiatae department, grows widely in Korea. This study was performed to evaluate the antioxidant activities and anti-allergic effects of Salvia plebeia R. leaves (SPLE) or roots (SPRE). Using ethanol extracts, both leaves and roots induced significant radical scavenging activity against DPPH and ABTS radicals in a dose dependent manner (p<0.05). Superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity of SPLE was significantly higher than that of SPRE at all concentrations. Treatment of the RBL-2H3 cells with SPLE and SPRE in vitro decreased ${\beta}$-Hexosaminidase release and significantly inhibited IgE-antigen complex-mediated IL-4 and TNF-${\alpha}$ mRNA expression in RBL-2H3 cells. These findings suggest that Salvia plebeia R. can protect or reduce allergic asthma through high antioxidant and anti-allergic reactions.

Objectives : This study was performed to examine the anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects of Jacho (Lithospermum erythrorhizon). Methods : Macrophage 264.7 cells were pretreatment, macrophage were incubated with lipopolysaccharide(LPS) 100ng/ml for 12h ($TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6) or 24h ($IL-1\beta$, IL-10) and media collectred and $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6, $IL-1{\beta}$, and IL-10 concentrations in supernatants were each measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Concentrations of Jacho used were 50, 100, 250, 500, and $1000{\mu}g/ml$, and hydrocortisones used were 10-8, 10-7, 10-6, 10-5, and 10-4M. Results : Jacho showed inhibitory effect on $TNF-{\alpha}$ LPS-stimulated macrophage 264.7. The inhibitory effect was most significant in $250{\mu}g/ml$, and was not in a dose-dependent manner as in the hydrocortisone group Jacho also showed inhibitory effect on IL-6 by LPS-stimulated macrophage 264.7. The inhibitory effect was most significant in $1000{\mu}g/mL$, and increased in a roughly dose-dependent manner. Jacho and hydrocortisone showed contrary effect on $IL-1\beta$. Jacho obviously increased the expression of $IL-1\beta$, in alt five concentrations, End at the fewest concentration $(50{\mu}g/ml)$ the level of $IL-1\beta$, was highest. On the other hand, hydrocortisone was observed to have inhibitory effect on $IL-1\beta$, in all five concentrations. IL-10 was obviously inhibited by Jacho and hydrocortisone respectively in a roughly dose-dependent manner. Conclusions : By the findings of this experiment. Jacho was observed to have anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects through inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokine $TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-6, and might be one of the effective therapeutic regimens for allergic diseases.

Handayeolso-Tang(HDT) has been used as traditional medicine for the treatment of Taeumin TaeYang-Hanguel. The present study was conducted to investigate the anti-allergic activity of Handayeolso-Tang(HDT). We investigated the anti-allergic effects of HDT in RBL-2H3 basophilic leukemia cells by compound48/80, a mast cell degranulator and compound 48/80 induced anaphylactic shock in mice. HDT significantly inhibited ${\beta}-hexosaminidase$ and histamine release from compound 48/80 stimulated RBL-2H3 cells. In addition, HDT effectively inhibited anaphylactic shock in mice by 45% at a dose 120 mg/mouse versus PBS treated control after the I.p injection(8 mg/kg) of compound 48/80. The in vitro anti-inflammatory activities of HDT in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells were investigated. HDT inhibited NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and effectively dowregulated the expression of iNOS mRNA and iNOS protein expression in LPS -stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. These result provide evidences that HDT may be beneficial in the treatment of allergic inflammtory disease.

Arctii Fructus (AF), which contains arctigenin (ARC) as a major constituent, is traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory medicine to treat inflammatory sore throat. Although several studies have proven its anti-inflammatory effects, there have been no reports on its use in inflammation related disorders such as obesity, cancer metastasis, and allergic responses. This study investigated the anti-obesity effect and anti-metastasis effect of AF and ARC. AF and ARC inhibited weight gain by reducing the mass of white adipose tissue in high fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. Serum cholesterol levels were also improved by AF and ARC. In in vitro experiments, AF and ARC decreased differentiation of white adipocytes. Furthermore, AF induced differentiation of brown adipocytes, which are able to consume surplus energy through non-shivering thermogenesis. Also, AF and ARC inhibited colon cancer and lung metastasis of colon cancer. They suppressed not only colorectal cancer cell progression by inhibiting cell growth, but also prohibited lung metastasis by regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, and the invasion. These effects were confirmed in an experimental metastasis mouse model. In addition, AF and ARC inhibited mast cell mediated allergic responses. Collectively, our study suggests that AF and ARC might show inhibitory effects on inflammation related diseases, including obesity, cancer, cancer metastasis, and allergic responses.

Objectives : This experimental research has been done to study the effects of herbal-acupuncture with Juglandis Semen on the anti-allergic reaction. Methods : ICR mice were injected intraperioneally with compound 48/80 to induce the immediately type hypersensitivity (anaphylaxis). ICR mice were sensitized by PC and SRBC to induce the delayed type hypersensitivity. Sprage-Dawley rats were injected subcutaneously with egg albumin to measure the WBC. ICR mice and Sprage-Dawley rats were injected with Juglandis Semen herbal-acupuncture for the anti-allergic reaction test. Results : 1. In the restraint effect of systemic anaphylactic reaction, the mortality of mice decreased 20% each before 10 minutes and after 5 minutes. 2. In the contact dermatitis induced by PC, both Treat Ⅰand Treat Ⅱ group showed significant(p<0.01, p<0.05) decrease in comparison with the Control group, and also Treat Ⅲ group showed significance(p<0.005). 3. In the delayed type hypersensitivity in mice challenged by SRBC, Treat Ⅰ group showed significant(p<0.05) decrease in comparison with the Control group, and there was significance(p<0.05, p<0.05) in Treat Ⅲ and Treat Ⅳ group. 4. The change of the WBC in allergic rats induced by egg albumin showed significant(p<0.01, p<0.05, p<0.05) decrease in Treat Ⅰ, Treat Ⅱ and Treat Ⅲ group. Conclusions : The restraint effects of Juglandis Semen herbal-acupuncture on the anti-allergic reaction showed significance statistically. And also allergic group treated with $BL_{17}$ acupuncture (Treat Ⅲ group) showed same results.
