Polygoni multiflori Ramulus (PM), the stem of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. has been widely used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of lots of diseases. In macrophages, nitric oxide is released as an inflammatory mediator and has been proposed to be an important modulator of many pathophysiological conditions in inflammation. In the present study, it was investigated that the inhibitory effects on NO and proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the mechanism of down-regulation of immune response by 85% methanol extracts of PM in mouse (C57BL/6) peritoneal macrophages. Extracts of PM (0.1, 1 mg/ml) suppressed NO production and showed inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines like TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 and it attenuated iNOS and COX-2 expression via down-regulation of NF-${\kappa}$B activation. The present results indicate that the 85% methanol extracts of PM has an inhibitory effect on the production of NO through down-regulation of iNOS expression in LPS stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages and therefore may be beneficial in diseases which related to macrophage-mediated inflammatory disorders.

The present study was designed to determine the effect of the Sandalwood Essential Oil (Santalum album) on pro-inflammatory factors such as NO, iNOS expression and IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$ in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) - stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages cells. The cell toxicity was determined by MTS assay. To evaluate of anti-inflammatory effect of Sandalwood Essential Oil, amount of NO was measured using the NO detection kit and the iNOS expression was measured by western blot analysis and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). And proinflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA kit. As a result, Sandalwood Essential Oil reduced NO, iNOS expression and IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$ production without cytotoxicity. Our results suggest that the Sandalwood Essential Oil may have an anti-inflammatory property through suppressing inflammatory mediator productions and appears to be useful as an anti-inflammatory oil.

본 연구는 지질다당류에 의해 유도된 대식세포주인 RAW 264.7 세포에서 자화지정 추출물이 염증 매개체 생성에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 자화지정 추출물이 대식세포주인 RAW 264.7 세포의 세포 생존 능력에 미치는 영향을 조사 하기 위하여 MTT assay를 실시하였다. 또한, Bio-Plex 사이토카인 분석(cytokine assay)을 통하여 NO, 인터루킨 $(IL)-1{\beta}$, 종양 괴사 인자($TNF-{\alpha}$) 및 IL-6와 같은 다양한 사이토카인(cytokine)의 농도에 의한 자화지정 추출물의 항염증 효과를 조사 하였다. 자화지정 추출물은 LPS로 유도 된 대식세포에서 NO, $IL-1{\beta}$, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 및 IL-6의 농도를 $25{\mu}g/mL$ 이상으로 유의하게 저해하였으며 세포 생존율에는 변화가 없었다. 이러한 결과는 자화지정 추출물이 LPS로 유도된 대식세포에서 $IL-1{\beta}$, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 및 IL-6와 같은 염증성 사이토카인(cytokine)의 억제와 관련된 항염증 효과를 갖는다는 것을 시사한다. 앞으로 자화지정을 이용한 염증질환에 관련된 치료제개발에 새로운 연구가 더 필요한 바이다.

Method : We examined effect of PM Extract on the cell viability of RAW 264.7 cells. Futhermore, we investigated anti-inflammatory effect of PM Extract by the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as NO, intracellular calcium, interleukin(IL)-$1{\alpha}$, IL-3, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, interferon inducible protein-10(IP-10), keratinocyte-derived chemokine(KC) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF). Result : No significant changes have been found in the mouse macrophge cell viability by the PM Extract at the concentration of 25, 50, 100 and $200{\mu}g/mL$. The water extract of PM significantly inhibited the production of NO and intracellular calcium in the LPS-induced macrophages at the concentration of 25, 50, 100 and $200{\mu}g/mL$. The water extract of PM significantly inhibited the production of IL-$1{\alpha}$, IL-${\beta}$, IL-3, IP-10, KC, VEGF in the LPS-induced macrophages at the concentration of 50, 100, and $200{\mu}g/mL$; IL-6 at the concentration of 100 and $200{\mu}g/mL$ ; and IL-17 at $200{\mu}g/mL$. Conclusion : The water extract of PM significantly inhibited the production of NO, intracellular calcium, IL-$1{\alpha}$, IL-3, IL-${\beta}$, IP-10, KC, VEGF at the concentration of 50 ㎍/mL or higher in the LPS-induced macrophages with no changes in the cell viability of them. These results suggest that water extract of Polygoni Multiflori Radix has anti-inflammatory effect regulating the production of proinflammatory cytokines in the LPS-induced macrophages.

Alpha-viniferin was isolated from Carex humilis (Cyperaceae), and showed anti-inflammatory effects on carrageenin or histamine-induced paw edema in mice. To understand mode of the anti-inflammatory action. effects of alpha-viniferin on cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, iNOS, oxygen radicals and proinflammatory cytokines have been analyzed. Alpha-viniferin showed selective inhibitory effect with an IC50 value of 5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ on COX-2 activity but showed weak inhibitory effect on the synthesis of COX-2 transcript which was identified by RT-PCR.

During a screening program to search the anticolitic herbal medicines, 80% ethanol extract of the rhizome of Anemarrhena asphodeloides (AA) was found to potently inhibit the expression of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-1${\beta}$, as well as the activation of NF-${\kappa}B$ in LPS-stimulated colonic macrophages, followed by that of the rhizome of C. chinensis (CC). AA also potently inhibited TNBS-induced colitic markers, shortening of the colon and increase of macroscopic score, myeloperoxidase activity, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-1${\beta}$, and IL-6, in mice. The synergistic effect of CC against the anticolitic effect of AA was investigated. CC synergistically inhibited the anticolitic effect of AA. AC-mix (AA+CC, 1:1) potently inhibited them. AC-mix also inhibited the activation of NF-${\kappa}B$, as well as the expression of TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-1${\beta}$, IL-6, iNOS and COX-2. The effects of AC-mix against oxazolone-induced colitis were investigated in mice. AC-mix also potently inhibited oxazolone-induced inflammatory markers, colon shortening, macroscopic score, myeloperoxidase activity, NF-${\kappa}B$ activation and proinflammatory cytokines. Overall, the anti-colitic effect of AC-mix was superior to that of mesalazine. Based on these findings, AC-mix may improve colitis by inhibiting NF-${\kappa}B$ activation.

Previous studies have shown that lactic acid bacteria can inhibit inflammatory responses, but the mechanisms are very little known. In this study, transaction and expression of three proinflammatory factors, iNOS, PTGS-2, and IL8, which are closely related to the inflammatory response, were investigated by luciferase reporter assay and RTPCR in HT-29 cells treated by Lactobacillus acidophilus. The results showed that the live L. acidophilus sharply down-regulated the transcription of these three genes. Because there was a NF-${\kappa}B$ binding site located at -265 bp, -225 bp, and -95 bp upstream of the iNOS, PTGS-2, and IL8 promoters, respectively, we further addressed the effects of NF-${\kappa}B$ on transaction of the three promoters by cotransfection. As was expected, NF-${\kappa}Bs$ remarkably upregulated the activity of the reporter gene and, no effect of NF-${\kappa}B$s on IL-8 promoter transaction was found after NF-${\kappa}B$ binding site mutation of the IL8 promoter in HT-29 cells. In conclusion, the live L. acidophilus decreased the transcriptional activity of NF-${\kappa}B$ and, in turn, inhibited the transaction of NF-${\kappa}B$ on the three proinflammatory factors mentioned above.

본 연구의 목적은 일상생활에서 쉽게 섭취할 수 있는 당근, 무, 무청, 우엉, 표고버섯을 재료로 한 야채 스프의 항염증성을 검토하기 위한 것으로, RAW264.7 세포에서 LPS에 의해 유도되는 염증물질 중 NO와 염증성 사이토카인 TNF-$\alpha$에 대한 억제력을 관찰하였다. 실험결과 실험에 사용된 야채스프는 세포독성을 나타내지 않았다. 세포독성이 없음을 확인 한 후 LPS로 처리한 RAW264.7 세포에서 야채스프의 NO 생성억제를 평가한 결과 RAW264.7 세포만 배양한 대조군에서 NO의 농도는 매우 낮게 측정되었으며, LPS를 처리한군에서 NO의 농도는 현저히 증가되었다. 또한 야채스프를 처리한 실험군은 NO 생성이 유의성 있게 억제되었으며, RAW264.7 세포를 LPS로 처리 시 iNOS가 발현되어 NO를 생성하게 되므로 iNOS의 발현에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. LPS 처리 시 iNOS 유전자 발현이 유의하게 증가되었으나, 야채스프를 전 처리한 실험군에서 iNOS의 양이 감소하였다. 야채스프에 의한 iNOS의 발현억제는 NO 생성억제를 유도를 의미한다. Proinflammatory cytokines인 TNF-$\alpha$ 분비 억제를 살펴본 결과 LPS를 처리한 군에서 TNF-$\alpha$의 분비가 현저하게 증가되었으나 야채스프를 처리한 군에서는 유의한 억제를 나타냈다. 이상과 같이 야채스프는 RAW264.7 세포에서 LPS에 의해 유도되는 NO의 생성억제, iNOS의 발현을 억제시켰으며, proinflammatory cytokines인 TNF-$\alpha$의 분비량도 억제시켰다. 이는 야채수프의 항염증성을 입증하기 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능하다고 사료된다.
