Abstract

The immunomodulatory effect of Codonopsis lanceolata based on the production of cytokines and the activation of macrophage was studied. The mRNA expression of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was gradually induced after 24 hr treatment of Codonopsis lanceolata, and NO production was a maximum after 24 hr treatment with 1 mg/mL. RAW 264.7 cell on in vitro treatment with Codonopsis lanceolata induced mRNA of cytokines such as interleukin-1(IL-1)${\beta}$, interleukin-6(IL-6), tumor necrosis $factor(TNF)-{\alpha}\;and\;interferon(IFN)-{\gamma}$; $IL-1{\beta}$ and IL-6 mRNA were gradually induced up to 24 hr, $TNF-{\alpha}\;mRNA$ was regularly induced up to 24 hr, and $IFN-{\gamma}\;mRNA$ level was a maximum within 1 hr. These results suggest that Codonopsis lanceolata exerts as an effective immunomodulator and enhances antitumor activity of macrophages.

대식세포는 IL-1, IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha},\;IFN-{\gamma}$의 중요한 근원이고, 전염성의 병원체와 종양 세포에 대해 저항하는 주요한 effector 세포이다. 이것은 cytokine signal에 의해 세포파괴가 되도록 활성화 된다. 이번 연구에서 우리는 산더덕의 물 추출물이 cytokine, nitric oxide와 같은 effector 분자를 유도하기 위해 대식세포를 활성화하는지를 알아보기 위하여 실험하였다. 산더덕 추출물에 의한 대식세포의 NO 생성은 농도 의존적이고, 시간 의존적이었다. iNOS는 시간이 지날수록 발현이 유도되었다. 산더덕 추출물에 의한 IL-1과 IL-6 mRNA 유도는 시간 의존적으로 증가 되었고, 처리 후 24시간에 최고점에 도달하였다. 이것은 활성화된 대식세포가 종양세포를 죽일 수 있음을 말한다. $TNF-{\alpha}\;mRNA$의 양은 시간이 지나도 일정하였고, $IFN-{\gamma}\;mRNA$의 양은 산더덕 추출물의 처리 1시간 후에 빠르게 강화되었다. 이러한 결과로부터 산더덕은 효과적인 면역조절자이고 대식세포의 항종양활성을 강화함을 알 수 있다.
