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.

Objectives : The leaves of Artemisia argyi L. have been used for the treatment of bleeding-related diseases in traditional korean medicine. But the immunological activities with macrophage have not been sufficiently reported. This study is to investigate the immunological bioactivities of the herbal acupuncture solution obtained from leaves of Artemisia argyi L. (AAAS). Methods & Results : Against Nicotine and Acetaldehyde, AAAS increased significantly the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) within mouse macrophage Raw 264.7 cells above the concentration of 10 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$. AAAS increased significantly the production of nitric oxide (NO) in Raw 264. 7 cells above the concentration of 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against EtOH. And AAAS increased significantly the production of nitric oxide (NO) in Raw 264. 7 cells above the concentration of 200 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against Nicotine, Acetaminophen, and Acetaldehyde. Conclusions : These results suggest that AAAS could be thought to have the immunological activities related with the production of hydrogen peroxide and NO in macrophage.

The oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein(LDL) has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. Oxidized LDL are found in macrophage foam cell, and it can induce an macrophage proliferation in atherosclerotic plaque. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that gamisoyosan(GS) may reduce atherosclerosis by lowering the oxidiazability of LDL, To achive this goal, we examined the effect of GS on LDL oxidation, nitric oxide production in mouse macrophage cell line, RAW264.7, and the effect of GS on cupuric sulfate-induced cytotoxicity, LDH release, and macrophage activity. GS inhibited the generation of oxidized LDL from native LDL in RAW264.7 cell culture, and decreased the release of LDH from cupric sulfate-stimulated RAW264.7 cell. In other experiments, GS activated RAW264.7 cell, and prolonged the survival time, and increased nitric oxide production in Raw 264.7 cells.

B cell-activating factor belonging to the TNF family (BAFF) is primarily expressed by macrophages and stimulates B cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and Ig production. In this study, we explored the effect of lactoferrin (LF) on BAFF expression by murine macrophages. We determined the level of BAFF expression at the transcriptional and protein levels using RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. LF markedly enhanced BAFF expression in mouse macrophages at both the transcriptional and protein levels. Overexpression of Smad3/4 further increased LF-induced BAFF transcription while DN-Smad3 abolished the LF-induced BAFF expression. These results demonstrate that LF can enhance BAFF expression through Smad3/4 pathway.

The inhibitors of prostaglandin biosynthesis and nitric oxide production by corresponding inducible isozyme have been considered as potential anti-inflammatory and cancer chemopreventive agents. In our continuous search for cancer chemopreventive agents from natural products, we have evaluated the inhibitory potential of PGE$_2$ and NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. As a result, pinosylvin (3,5-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene), a stilbenoid, mainly found from the heartwood and leaves of the Pinus sylvestris, showed potential inhibitory activity of LPS-induced PGE$_2$ and NO production in a dose-dependent manner.

This study were done to know the effects of Dangkiyeumja on the in vivo and in vitro immune responses of mice. The recipes of Dangkiyeumja used in this study enhanced such, cellular functions of immunocytes as phagocytic capacity of macrophages, rossett-eforming abilities of splenocytes and metabolic activities of lymphocytes, However, the same recipes decreased the formation of such reactive oxygen intermediates(ROI) as superoxide and hydrogenperoxide from the macrophages. The effects of the same recipes on the in vim immune responses was suppressive on the cellular immune response(CIR)measured by delayed-type hypersensitivity against dinitrofluorobenzene and mildly enhancing for the humoral immune response measured by antibody production against sheep red blood cells. The results of this study could be summarized as follow: 1. Administration of Dangkiyeumja enhanced the phagocytic activity of the murine macrophage. 2. Administration of Dangkiyeumja decreased the formation of ROI in the murine macrophage 3. Administration of Dangkiyeumja increased the number of the splenic rotte forming cells in the mouse. 4. Administration of DangKiyeumja did not effect the antibody production against sheep red blood cells. 5. Administration of Dangkiyeumja depressed the delayed-type hypersenitivity against dinitrofluoro benzene in the mouse. The result of this study suggest that Dangkiyeumja could ameliorate the hypersensitivity reactions by reducing the formation of ROI and decreasing the CIR without affecting the other functions of immunocytes.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Fermented Houttuyniae Herba Water Extract (HL) on production of proinflammatory mediators in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Methods : Cell viabilities were measured by MTT assay. Effect of HL on nitric oxide (NO) production from RAW 264.7 cells was accessed by Griess reagent assay. Effect of HL on productions of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukine (IL)-17, Interferon $\gamma$-inducible protein (IP)-10, Eotaxin, IL-5, Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-3 (MCP-3), and IL-13 in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells was accessed by a multiplex bead array assay based on xMAP technology. Results : The results of the experiment are as follows. 1. Incubation with HL for 24 hours showed significant increase in cell viability of RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages (P < 0.05). 2. HL showed to inhibit NO production from RAW 264.7 cells at the concentrations of 25 and 50 ug/mL significantly (P < 0.05). 3. HL inhibited significantly NO production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells at the concentrations of 25, 50, 100 and 200 ug/mL (P < 0.05). 4. HL inhibited significantly IL-17, IP-10 and Eotaxin in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells at the concentrations of 25, 50, 100 and 200 ug/mL (P < 0.05). Conclusions : These results suggest that HL has anti-inflammatory moiety related with its inhibition of NO, IL-17, IP-10, and Eotaxin in macrophages.

국내에서 생산된 거봉 및 캠벨 포도의 씨, 줄기 및 껍질 추출물에 대하여 항산화 작용, 염증 관련 인자 생성에 미치는 활성 및 암세포 성장에 대한 영향 등을 resveratrol과 비교하여 평가하였다. 그 결과 포도 추출물 중 거봉줄기, 캠벨줄기, 캠벨씨 및 거봉씨 추출물들이 항산화 능력을 나타내었고 그 중 거봉씨 추출물은 vitamin C와 효력이 유사하게 나타나 항산화 효능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 마우스 대식세포주인 RAW 264.7 cell을 이용하여 포도 추출물들의 LPS처리에 의한 $PGE_2$ 및 NO 생성을 저해 여부를 확인한 결과, 거봉줄기, 거봉씨, 및 캠벨씨 추출물이 $50\;{\mu}g/mL$에서 $PGE_2$ 및 NO 생성을 50% 가량 저해하는 효능을 나타내었다. 또한 사람 폐암 및 대장암 세포주를 이용하여 포도 추출물들이 암세포 성장 저해 효과를 나타내는지를 확인하였는데 거봉줄기 및 씨 추출물 $50\;{\mu}g/mL$에서 30% 정도의 암세포 성장 저해 작용을 나타내었다.

생쥐 대식세포의 감염균 치사활성과 종양 치사활성에 미치는 Polyamine 생합성 억제의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 ornithine의 억제제인 $\alpha$ -Difluoromethylomithine (DFMO)과 S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase의 억제제인 methylhlyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone)(MGBG)을 in vitro 또는 in vivo에서 처리하였다. 대시세포의 감염균 치사활성의 지표로서 화학발광(chemiluminescence)과 nitroblue tetrazolium(NBT)의 환원정도를 측정한 결과, 염증유발물질인 thioglycollate(TG)와 세균이 세포내 독소인 liopopolysac- charide(LPS)를 주사하였거나 BCG를 감염시킨 후 측정된 화학 발광의 수준은 TG, LPS, BCG의 순으로 증가하였다. 그러나 이런 화학발생의 수준은 DFMO를 경구투여 하였을 때 전체적으로 감소하였고, 이 세포에 의한 NBT 환원정도 또한 DFMO와 MGBG의 in vitro 처리에 의하여 감소되었다. 한편 BDG로 활성화시킨 대식세포의 종양 괴사인자분비에 의한 종양치사 및 종양세포와의 부착에 의한 직접적 치사정도를 측정한 결과, polyamine생합성억제제의 처리농도를 증가시킴에 따라 그 정도는 감소하였지만, 외부에서 polyamine인 putrescene을 처리 하였을 때 회복되었다. 위의 결과로부터 대식세포내의 polyamine 생합성은 이 세포의 최적 활성화와 과정에 필요한 것으로 생각된다.
