Abstract

The in vivo and in vitro effects of oriental herb extracts of Cassia obtusifolia, Taraxacum platycarpum and Ulmusmacrocarpa on anti-atopic allergic reaction were evaluated in this study. A mixture of these extracts exhibited more potent anti-allergic activities in human mast cells than those from individual extracts. The herbal mixture significantly inhibited the release of compound 48/80-induced $\beta$-hexosaminidase release in the human mast cell line, HMC-1. The mixture also suppressed the production of PMA and A23187-induced inflammatory cytokines in HMC-1 cells. To further investigate the in vivo effects of the herbal mixture, a Dermatophagoides farinae (DF)-induced atopic dermatitis mouse model was utilized. Oral administration of the herbal mixture significantly decreased the ear thickness and swelling in DF treated NC/Nga mice in a dose dependent manner. Furthermore, serum levels of IgE and interleukin-4 (IL-4) were significantly decreased, whereas interferon-gamma (IFN-$\gamma$) levels were increased in the mixture administrated groups when compared to the control. Taken together, our data indicate the possibility of using a mixture of the oriental herb extract to relieve symptoms of atopic dermatitis.

결명자(Cassia obtusifolia) 및 포공영(Taraxacum platycarpum), 유근피(Ulmus macrocarpa)로 제조된 생약재 추출혼합물이 in vitro와 in vivo상에서 아토피 피부염에 미치는 영향을 실험하였다. HMC-1 cell을 이용하여 비만세포의 $\beta$-hexosaminidase 방출량을 측정한 결과, 단일 추출물보다 추출복합물이 탈과립을 억제하는 효과가 우수한 것으로 측정되었다. 그리고 HMC-1 cell에서 PMA와 A23187로 자극하였을 때 생성되는 염증성 cytokine의 분비에서도 추출혼합물의 저해 효과가 가장 높게 나타났다. 아토피 질환모델인 NC/Nga 마우스를 사용하여 생약재 추출혼합물의 아토피 저감효과를 측정한 결과, 진드기 추출물에 의해 발진된 마우스의 귀두께 및 조직학적인 부종 관찰을 통해 생약재 추출혼합물 농도가 증가함에 따라 대조군에 비해 귀 두께 및 부종의 감소가 관찰되었다. 또한 마우스의 혈중 IgE 농도와 이와 관련된 cytokine의 농도를 측정한 결과, 생약재 추출혼합물 투여농도가 증가함에 따라 IgE의 농도가 유의적으로 감소하였고, IgE의 과발현을 유도하는 IL-4의 분비 억제 및 IFN-$\gamma$의 분비가 증가되는 것으로 나타나 생약재 혼합추출물의 섭취가 아토피 피부염 증세 완화 효과에 도움이 되리라 사료된다.
