Objectives:In Korean medicine, Curculiginis Rhizoma was treated for arthritis in remedy. But efficacy of Curculiginis Rhizoma on collagen induced arthritis was not revealed. Methods:Anti inflammatory effect of Curculiginis Rhizoma was researched in vitro with RAW264.7 cell and cell toxicity, levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-12) and PGE2 were analyzed by ELISA assay. Inflammatory protein were analyzed by western blotting assay (JNK, ERK, COX-2, TNF-α and IL-1β). In vivo, collagen induced arthritis mice model was used to evaluate anti-inflammation effect through arthritis index, immune cell number and cytokine levels (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) in serum. Results:ECR(Extract of Curculiginis Rhizoma) has not shown cell toxicity in 200 ㎍/㎖ on RAW264.7 cell. ECR suppressed releases of NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12 and PGE2 on RAW264.7 cell treated with lipopolysacharide (1 ㎍/㎖). And ECR inhibited regulation of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA, reduced protein release of JNK, ERK, iNOS, COX-2, IL-1β and TNF-α. AI of group treated with ECR 200 ㎎/㎏ and 100 ㎎/㎏ were significantly decreased compared to vihicle arthritis mice, the number of immune cell in foot joint was increased on control mice but those of group treated with ECR 200 ㎎/㎏ and 100 ㎎/㎏ were significantly reduced. This results correspond with contens of cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) in serum. Conclusions:Curculiginis Rhizoma has anti-inflammation effect on RAW264.7 cell in vitro and collagen induced arthritis in vivo . So it is necessary to research more mechanism for cascade imfact.

A genome-wide by PM₁₀ interaction study identifies novel loci for lung function near <i>BICD1</i> and <i>IL1RN-IL1F10</i> genes in Korean adults

Kim, Hyun-Jin,Seo, Yong-Seok,Sung, Joohon,Chae, Jeesoo,Yun, Jae Moon,Kwon, Hyuktae,Cho, Belong,Kim, Jong-Il,Park, Jin-Ho Elsevier 2020 CHEMOSPHERE - Vol.245 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Although several genome-wide interaction studies (GWIS) have been performed in specific European populations to understand the missing link between genetic and environmental factors for lung function, GWIS of Asian samples remain rare. Therefore, we performed a GWIS of exposure to air pollution to identify loci for lung function in Korean adult men. A total of 1826 adult men recruited from two health check-up centers were included in the analysis and the annual mean concentrations of ambient particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 μm (PM<SUB>10</SUB>) were used. In case of forced vital capacity (FVC), one SNP (rs12312730) that passed our genome-wide threshold of <I>p</I>int < 1 × 10–5 was detected in the intronic region of the <I>BICD1</I> gene on chromosome 12. In addition, we found two variants (rs6743376 and rs17042888) located near the <I>IL1RN-IL1F10</I> gene that were involved in the inflammatory response and associated with decreased FVC via interaction with PM<SUB>10</SUB> exposure. A stratified association analysis according to these SNP genotypes showed that PM<SUB>10</SUB> concentrations in subjects with one or two of the risk alleles, compared with those with the non-risk allele, were significantly correlated with a reduction in FVC. This pattern was replicated in another 892 Korean adult samples. The current study reports the first GWIS discovery in an Asian population: the <I>BICD1</I> and <I>IL1RN-IL1F10</I> genes may contribute to the decrease in FVC levels by interacting with PM<SUB>10</SUB> exposure.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Significant interactions between <I>BICD1 or IL1RN-IL1F10</I> and PM<SUB>10</SUB> for FVC were found. </LI> <LI> The several SNPs in these genes were more susceptible to FVC decline by PM<SUB>10</SUB>. </LI> <LI> For FVC, these interaction effects were reproducible in another sample. </LI> </UL> </P>

Jang, You-Jee,Park, Jae-Il,Jeong, Seong-Eun,Seo, You-Mi,Dam, Phuong T. M.,Seo, Young-Woo,Choi, Bum-Chae,Song, Sang-Jin,Chun, Sang-Young,Cho, Moon-Kyoung Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Or 2017 Reproduction, fertility, and development Vol. No.

<P> The aim of the present study was to examine the regulation of interleukin (IL)-11 expression, as well as the role of IL-11, during ovulation in gonadotropin-primed immature rats. Injection of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG), followed by human CG (hCG) to induce superovulation stimulated expression of the Il11 gene in theca cells within 6 h, as revealed by northern blot and in situ hybridisation analyses. Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that the IL-11 receptor, α subunit gene was expressed in granulosa and theca cells and that injection of hCG had no effect on its expression. IL-11 protein expression was stimulated in theca cells by hCG. LH-stimulated increases in Il11 mRNA levels in cultured preovulatory follicles were inhibited by protein kinase A and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitors. Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 were detected in preovulatory follicles, and the TLR4 ligand lipopolysaccharide, but not the TLR2 ligand Pam3Cys, increased Il11 mRNA levels in theca cells, but not in granulosa cells. Treatment of preovulatory follicles with IL-11 stimulated progesterone production and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (Star) gene expression. Together, these results indicate that IL-11 in theca cells is stimulated by mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling and TLR4 activation, and increases progesterone production during ovulation. </P>

Objective : This study was performed to estimate the effects of OMC-2010 extract on cytokine production in mouse spleen cells. Methods : Mouse spleen cells were pre-treated with ethanol and water extract of OMC-2010 for 1 h, then stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 μg/ml) for 48 h. Then the cells were harvested for real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to detect cytokines. Results : OMC-2010 ethanol extract significantly inhibited the LPS-induced interleukin (IL)-1beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and IL-5 mRNA expressions, but not shown such changes in IL-6, IL-4, IL-13. OMC-2010 water extract significantly inhibited the LPS-induced TNF-alpha, and IL-5 mRNA expressions, but not shown such changes in IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-4, IL-13. Conclusions : Theses results could suggest that both ethanol and water OMC-2010 extract could inhibit the TNF-alpha and IL-5 mRNA expression.

Blockade of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase protects mice against lipopolysaccharide-induced endotoxin shock.

Jung, In Duk,Lee, Min-Goo,Chang, Jeong Hyun,Lee, Jun Sik,Jeong, Young-Il,Lee, Chang-Min,Park, Won Sun,Han, Jin,Seo, Su-Kil,Lee, Sang Yong,Park, Yeong-Min Williams Wilkins 2009 JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY Vol.182 No.5

<P>Suppression of an excessive systemic inflammatory response is a promising and potent strategy for treating endotoxic sepsis. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), which is the rate-limiting enzyme for tryptophan catabolism, may play a critical role in various inflammatory disorders. In this study, we report a critical role for IDO in the dysregulated immune response associated with endotoxin shock. We found that IDO knockout (IDO(-/-)) mice and 1-methyl-D-tryptophan-treated, endotoxin-shocked mice had decreased levels of the cytokines, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-12, and enhanced levels of IL-10. Blockade of IDO is thought to promote host survival in LPS-induced endotoxin shock, yet little is known about the molecular mechanisms that regulate IDO expression during endotoxin shock. In vitro and in vivo, IDO expression was increased by exogenous IL-12, but decreased by exogenous IL-10 in dendritic cells and splenic dendritic cells. Interestingly, whereas LPS-induced IL-12 levels in serum were higher than those of IL-10, the balance between serum IL-12 and IL-10 following challenge became reversed in IDO(-/-)- or 1-methyl-D-tryptophan-treated mice. Our findings demonstrate that the detrimental immune response to endotoxin shock may occur via IDO modulation. Restoring the IL-12 and IL-10 balance by blocking IDO represents a potential strategy for sepsis treatment.</P>

Jong-Jin Kim(김종진),Sang-Won Lee(이상원),Kyung-Wuk Park(박경욱),Kwon-Il Seo(서권일),Sung-Tae Yee(이성태) 한국생명과학회 2012 생명과학회지 Vol.22 No.6

일반적인 버섯 배지(미강 10%), 폐 한방슬러지를 10% 첨가한 배지, 그리고 미강 10%와 폐 한방슬러지 10%를 혼합한 배지에서 재배한 팽이버섯의 면역기능 강화효과를 알아보기 위해 물 추출물과 에탄올 추출물로 분리하여 실험하였다. 그 중 폐 한방슬러지 10%를 첨가한 배지에서 재배한 팽이버섯의 에탄올 추출물을 첨가하였을 때, 비장세포의 증식을 크게 유도하였으며 또한 IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ 분비를 유도하였다. 그리고 B세포의 증식반응과 면역글로불린 생산도 증가하였으며, 대식세포주의 일산화질소 분비와 IL-6, TNF-α, GM-CSF 생산도 증가하였다. 또한 복수암 유발 종양세포를 이용한 항종양 효과를 측정 한 결과 대조군의 평균 21.1일보다 실험군은 24.5일로 16.1%의 수명 연장효과가 나타났다. 따라서 폐 한방슬러지를 이용하면 수입에 의존하고 있는 버섯 재배 배지 원료를 절약할 수 있으며 면역세포조절 기능을 강화시키는 기능성 버섯을 얻을 수 있다고 생각한다. The objective of the current study was to determine the effects of the extracts isolated from the fruit body of Flammulina velutipes cultivated with oriental herbal plants on mouse splenocytes, B cells, and macrophages in vitro. The ethanol extracts B (EEB) directly induced the proliferation of spleen cells in a dose-dependent manner and increased IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ synthesis. The EEB also increased the proliferation of B cells in a dose-dependent manner. The production of immunoglobulin M, G1, G2a, G2b, and IgG3 in the presence of the EEB increased progressively in the culture supernatant. When the EEB were used in macrophage cell line (RAW264.7) stimulation, there was a marked induction of NO synthesis in a dose-dependent manner and an increased IL-6, TNF-α, and GM-CSF synthesis. Intraperitoneal injection with EBB showed life prolongation effect of 16.1% in mice previously inoculated with sarcoma-180, respectively. These results suggest that the capacity of the EEB isolated from the fruit body of Flammulina velutipes cultivated with oriental herbal plants seems to act as a potent immunomodulator causing augmentation of immune cell activity, and with the absence of notable side-effects, Flammulina velutipes EEB could be used as a biological response modifier having possible therapeutic effects against immunological disorders. This study also showed that functional components of Flammulina velutipes were possibly improved by incorporating oriental herbal plants in a growth medium.

Ginseng contains various health-beneficial bioactive compounds, such as ginsenosides and polysaccharides. Despite ginseng marc is produced after the extraction process and usually discarded as wastes, it still contains considerable amounts of potential bioactive compounds, including saponins and polysaccharides. Previously, we reported that glucan type ginseng oligosaccharides obtained by enzyme hydrolysis of ginseng marc-derived polysaccharides exhibit immunostimulatory activities in macrophages and, activated macrophages are in turn capable of inhibiting the growth of skin melanoma cells via induction of apoptosis. In the present study, an enzymatic hydrolysate (GEH) containing these ginseng oligosaccharides was prepared and immune-enhancing activities of GEH were evaluated in vivo using cyclophosphamide-treated immune-suppressed mice. Immunosuppression was induced by 3 day-intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of cyclophosphamide in mice. When comparedh normal control group, the GEH administered orally for 29 days facilitated the recovery of weight gain, indices of spleen and thymus, and enhanced T lymphocyte and B lymphocyte proliferation, cytokine productions of IL-6, IL-4 and IL-10 in culture supernatants of Con A-treated splenic T lymphocytes, and increased the serum levels of IL-4 and IL-10 as well as NK cell activity. These results demonstrated that administration of GEH stimulates and enhances immune function in immune-suppressed mice. The results of this study suggest that GEH of ginseng marc can be developed as a health-beneficial food material with immunostimulatory activity.

Background: Keratinocytes are the major cells inepidermis, providing barrier components such as cornified cells through the sophisticated differentiation process. In addition, keratinocytes exerts their role as the defense cells via activation of innate immunity. It has been knownthat pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) including double-strand RNA and nucleotides can provoke inflammatory reaction in keratinocytes. Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Ampelopsis japonica Makino extract (AE) on PAMPs-induced inflammatory reaction of keratinocytes. Methods: The effects of AE were determined using poly(I:C)-induced inflammation and imiquimod-induced psoriasiform dermatitis models. Results: In cultured keratinocytes, AE significantly inhibited poly(I:C)-induced expression of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1モ, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-メ. AE significantly inhibited poly(I:C)-induced release of caspase-1 active form (p20), and down-regulated NF-リB signaling pathway. In imiquimod-induced psoriasiform dermatitis model, topical application of AE resulted in significant reduction of epidermal hyperplasia. Conclusion: These results suggest that AE may be a potential candidate for the treatment of skin inflammation.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>In this study, we confirmed the anti-inflammatory effect of Apo-9-fucoxanthinone (AF) in <I>in vitro</I> RAW 264.7 cells and <I>in vivo</I> zebrafish model. In lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated zebrafish, AF significantly decreased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO) and cell death. In addition, the mRNA expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), suppressed cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and an inflammatory cytokines; IL-1β, TNF-α were shown reduction. And AF significantly inhibited NO production and expression of iNOS in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Further, AF suppressed COX-2, prostaglandin E2 (PGE<SUB>2</SUB>), and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) at 25, 50 and 100 μg/mL, respectively. Further mechanistic studies showed that AF suppressed the nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) pathway and phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway molecules such as extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). According to the results, AF can be used and applied as a useful anti-inflammatory agent of nutraceutical or pharmaceutical.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Anti-inflammatory effect of Apo-9-fucoxanthinone in <I>in vitro</I> RAW 264.7 cells and <I>in vivo</I> zebrafish </LI> <LI> Apo-9-fucoxanthinone suppressed NO production through NF-kB and MAPKs pathway. </LI> <LI> In LPS-stimulated zebrafish, Apo-9-fucoxanthinone significantly decreased ROS, NO, cell death and pro-inflammatory cytokines. </LI> <LI> Apo-9-fucoxanthinone can be extremely useful as an effective anti-inflammatory agent. </LI> </UL> </P>
