Objectives Perillae Folium (PF) has been widely used in Korean herbal medicines used for treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rhinitis, asthma, and enteritis. In this study, to investigate the protective effect of PF on type 1 allergic response, we determined whether PF inhibits early or late allergic responses. Methods The effect of PF was analyzed by ELISA,. RT-PCR and Western blot in RBL-2H3 cells. Levels of ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase, interleukin (IL)-4 and TNF-${\alpha}$ were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). mRNA levels of cytokines and enzymes were analyzed with RT-PCR. Signal transduction was analyzed with Western blot. Results We found that PF suppressed ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase release in RBL-2H3 by the IgE-DNP-HSA stimulation. PF also significantly inhibited enzymes level, such as COX-1, COX-2, iNOS, and HDC2, along with reduced cytokine levels, such as IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-6, IL-13, and TNF-${\alpha}$ in RBL-2H3. In addition, PF suppressed the phospholyation of ERK1/2, JNK1/2, and $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$. Conclusions Our results indicate that PF protects against type 1 allergic response and exert an anti-inflammatory effect through the inhibition of degranulation and expression of cytokines and enzymes via the suppression of signal transduction.

본 연구에서는 초액 4종인 2차 정제초액 (2nd refined liquid smoke, 2 CV), 3차 정제초액 (3'rd refined chaff liquid smoke, 3 CV), 쑥 정제초액(Artemisia plus refined chaff liquid smoke, A CV), 자소엽 정제초액 (Perillae folium plus refined chaff liquid smoke, Pf CV)의 항산화 능력과 항아토피 효과를 연구하였다. 항산화능 측정결과로 DPPH 활성은 3차 정제초액을 제외한 3종에서 높은 항산화 활성을 확인할 수 있었고, FRAP 실험 역시 DPPH와 마찬가지로 3종의 초액에서 높은 활성을 보였다. DNFB를 이용한 C57BL/6 마우스의 귀에 염증 유발을 통한 실험에서는 4가지 초액 모두 높은 활성을 보였다. 특히 육안, 귀의 두께 및 귀의 상피 두께를 확인한 결과 자소엽 초액이 염증을 유도한 군에 비해 두께가 현저히 감소하여 가장 높은 활성을 보였다.
