Objectives : This study aimed to evaluate inhibitory effects of GHJ on allergic inflammatory response in human mast cells (HMC-1). Methods : To investigate the inhibitory effect of GHJ (62.5, 125, 250, 500, $1000{\mu}g/mL$), HMC-1 cells were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate plus calcium ionophore A23187 (PMACI). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were investigated using GHJ extract. Results : GHJ inhibited levels of $TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-6 of $1000{\mu}g/mL$ concentration in ELISA and mRNA expression. GHJ had inhibitory effects in level of MAPKs, $p-I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ and p-NF-kB also. GHJ attenuated Compound 48/80-stimulated histamine release. In addition, GHJ inhibited PCA reaction in vivo. Conclusion : This study indicated that GHJ extract can inhibit allergic responses in HMC-1 cell.
