We previously examined extracts, isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis (SB), chemical mediators, and IgE by mesenteric lymph node (MLN) lymphocytes in rats. The present study was to evaluate the effects of extracts of SB on the MLN lymphocytes function of mice given orally by 20 mg/kg for 2 weeks with dextran sulfate sodium (DS)-induced colitis. Results show that IgE levels in MLN lymphocytes was low, while IgA was high, in mice given SB compared to that fed water. Concentrations of $Inteferon-{\gamma}$ and interleukin (IL)-2 of T cells by concanavalin A treatment was significantly higher in the SB fed group than the normal group. Activation-induced IL-4 and IL-10 secretion was lower in SB fed mice compared control mice after DS-induced colitis. These results suggested that SB suppresses the inflammation in DS-induced colitis through the modulation of Th1/Th2 balance to down-regulate $Th_2$ response in MLN lymphocytes.

본 연구에서는 전침자극이 면역계의 THl/TH2 분화평형에 미치는 영향과 opioid system 과의 관계를 알아보고자 DNP-KLH의 자극을 통해 IgE 매개 알러지 반응모델을 구축하고 족삼리(足三里).에 전침자극을 가한 후 TH1/TH2 분화평형 및 opioid receptor antagonist인 naloxone에 의 한 반전여부를 확인하기 위해 total IgE, antigen-specific IgE, IFN-${\gamma}$ 및 IL-4 mRNA 발현량을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 전침자극은 DNP-KLH로 인해 과도하게 생산 된 혈청 total IgE 및 antigen-specific IgE를 감소시킴으로서 알러지 반응에 대한 유의한 억제능을 발휘하였으며, naloxone 투여로 전침 의 효과가 상쇠된 것으로 미루어 opioid system이 전침에 의한 항알러지 효과에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 추정된다. 2. 또한 전침자극은 DNP-KLH로 인한 TH2 cytokine의 편향상태에 대하여 TH1/TH2 평형조절능을 가진다는 것을 확인하였으며, naloxone으로 반전되지 않는 것으로 미루어 전침이 미치는 보조 T cell 분화에 대한 효과 는 opioid system에 의존하지 않는 것으로 추정된다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Chungdaesan(CDS) by various administration routes on skin anaphylactic reaction. The most classic and popular skin reaction in vivo is passive cutaneous anaphylaxis(PCA) In this study, therefore, the author investigated the effect of CDS on PCA reaction activated by anti-dinitrophenyl immunoglobulin E antibody The results showed that CDS potently suppressed orally, topically, intraperitoneally, and intradermally administered. However, it did not show suppressive activity when intravenously administered. In addition CDS significantly inhibited anti-DNP IgE induced mast degranulation in mice skin. Moreover, CDS suppressed anaphylactic histamine release from mast cells induced by anti-dinitrophenyl immunoglobulin E antibody. These results indicate that CDS suppresses the PCA reaction by stabilization of mast cells in vivo and in vitro am] also suggest that the differential activity following administration routes may be caused by the difference of bioavailability.

본 연구에서는 제주 자생해조류인 감태로부터 제조한 ethyl acetate 분획물의 비만 세포에 대한 항알러지 활성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. IgE/BSA로 활성화시킨 비만 세포에서 EC-EtoAc는 세포 독성 없이 비만 세포의 탈과립 지표로 사용되는 ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase의 분비 뿐만 아니라 알러지 유발성 케모카인(TARC)과 사이토카인(IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IFN-${\gamma}$ 및 TNF-${\alpha}$)의 mRNA 발현을 억제하였다. 또한, EC-EtoAc는 비만 세포의 표면 리셉터인 $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$의 발현 및 IgE와 $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$의 결합능을 감소시켰다. 이 모든 결과로부터, 감태 유래 분획물인 EC-EtoAc가 활성화된 비만 세포에서 $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$의 발현 및 IgE와 $Fc{\varepsilon}RI$의 결합능을 감소시킴으로써 알러지 유발성 매개 인자들의 분비와 발현 등을 감소시켜 항알러지 효능을 가진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 이 연구 결과는 EC-EtoAc가 항알러지 효능을 보이는 천연 소재로서 이용가치가 있다는 것을 제시한다.

Objectives : Gagam-Gongjin-dan (GGD) composited with Cervi parvum Cornu, Corni Fructus, Angelica gigantis Radix, Lycii Fructus, Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Citri Pericarpium, Gastrodiae Rihzoma, Agastachis Herba, Cassiae cortkex, Scutellariae Radix, Schisandrae Fructus has been traditionally used for chronic diseases or weakness after illness in oriental countries. However, little is known about the effects of methanol extract of GGD on immune responses to ovalbumin (OVA) plus alum. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of GGD on immune responses to ovalbumin plus alum in Balb/c mice. Methods : In this study, the extract of GGD was prepared by extracting with methanol for 7 days. The extract was freeze-dried following filtration through vacuum distillation system. Mice were orally administrated with or without GGD extract of different doses (50-200 mg/kg/day) for 30 days. We examined the effects of GGD extract on the serum levels of total IgE, OVA-specific IgE, IgG1, IgG2a, and CTACK/CCL27 production and CCR10 expression in lymph node cells and body weight change and foot pad swelling responses in ovalbumin treated Balb/c. Results : The oral administration of GGD dose-dependently reduced the serum levels of total IgE, OVA-specific immunoglobulin (IgE, IgG1 and IgG2b) and CTACK/CCL27 production in ovalbumin treated BALB/c mice. The levels of CCR10 expression from lymph node cells of OVA treated mice were markedly suppressed by treatment with GGD in a concentration dependent manner. Furthermore, foot pad swelling responses were also markedly suppressed by GGD. However, body weight were significantly increased dose dependently by GGD treatment. Conclusions : These results suggest that GGD treatment suppresses immune responses to ovalbumin, and these properties may contribute to allergic disease care.

The marine carotenoid fucoxanthin can be found in marine brown seaweeds, macroalgae, diatoms, and microalgae, and has remarkable biological properties. Numerous studies have shown that fucoxanthin has considerable potential and promising applications in human health, but the underlying mechanisms involved in its anti-allergic activity are not fully understood. We here investigated the mechanisms by anti-allergic activity of fucoxanthin fraction from Eisenia bicyclis in immunoglobulin E-antigen complex (IgE/DNP-BSA)-stimulated RBL-2H3 mast cells. This study we found that the fucoxanthin inhibits the release of ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase and suppressed not only transcriptional activation of NF-${\kappa}B$, but also phosphorylation of ERK and JNK in IgE/DNP-BSA-treated RBL-2H3 cells. Fucoxanthin may be useful for preventing allergic diseases, including asthma and atopic dermatitis.

The effect of aqueous extract of Isodon japonicus Hara (Labiatae) (IJAE) on mast cell-mediated immediate-type allergic reactions was investigated. IJAE inhibited compound 48/80-induced systemic anaphylaxis and immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated local anaphylaxis. When IJAE was pretreated at the same concentration with systemic anaphylaxis, serum histamine levels were reduced in a dose-dependent manner. IJAE dose-dependently inhibited histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMC) activated by compound 48/80. The level of cAMP in human mast cell line (HMC-1) cells, when IJAE was added, significantly was increased, compared with that of normal control. These results indicate that IJAE will beneficial in the treatment of immediate-type allergic reaction.

The present study evaluates the immunomodulatory effect of Bifidobacterium longum KACC 91563 in murine primary splenocytes and macrophages. B. longum KACC 91563 regulated T- and B-cell proliferation and inhibited the Th1 (IL-2, IFN-γ)/Th2 (IL-4, IL-10) cytokine imbalance and immune cytokine production. Moreover, immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels were significantly lower after treatment with B. longum KACC 91563. These findings suggest that B. longum KACC 91563 could modulate the systemic immune system toward both IgE production and regulation of the Th1/Th2 balance.

본 실험은 육용계 기초사료에 copper와 Vit. E＋Se을 첨가급여시 육계의 혈청 IgG수준과 증체량 및 질병 발생율과의 상관관계를 조사함으로써 가금의 영양과 면역반응에 관한 기초적인 정보를 얻고자 실시하였다. 닭의 혈청중 IgG함량을 처리별, 시기별로 RID test에 의해 측정한 후 이를 증체량 및 건강상태와 비교한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 대조구의 혈청중 IgG함량은 부화 직후에 최고치 (4.26mg/$m\ell$)를 나타내었으며 2주령까지 급격히 감소하여 최소치 (0.87mg/$m\ell$)를 유지하다가 그후에 점차적으로 증가하여, 7주령에는 2.48mg/$m\ell$의 수준을 보였다. 2. 혈청 IgG의 농도와 증체량과의 상관성은 사육전기에는 고도의 유의적인 부의 상관관계를 보였으며 3주령에서 가장 높은 상관계수(r＝-0.423)를 나타냈으며 사육후기에는 정의 상관관계를 나타내어 7주령시의 IgG농도와 3주령시 증체량간에는 r＝＋0.246의 상관계수를 보였다. (p＜0.01) 3. Cul5, Cu25와 ES2O군의 혈청 IgG수준은 2주령에서 대조군에 비하여 낮은 수준을 보이다가 3주령에는 급속히 상승한 반면에 대조군에서는 이와 같은 현상이 1주일 늦게 나타났다. 이는 Cu나 Vit. E와 Se을 혼합 첨가 급여할 경우에는 능동면역의 발달이 대조군보다 1주일 조기에 일어나는 것으로 판단된다. 4. Cu15와 Cu25의 증체량은 대조군보다 높은 수준을 나타내었다. 특히 4주령시 증체율은 대조군에 비하여 4.8%와 4.5%높았다. ES2O군의 증체효과는 없었으며 ES 40군은 대조군보다 유의적으로 낮은 증체유을 보였다. 5. Cul5, Cu25, ES2O, ES4O군은 대조군에 비하여 높은 건강 수준을 유지하였으며 폐사율은 각각 1.9%, 1.9%, 2.9%와 1.0%로써 대조군의 4.8%에 비하여 낮은 수준을 보여 질병에 대한 저항능력이 향상되었다.

Objectives : In the theory of Korean medicine, Pear has long been considered to protect throat, bronchus and lung. Pear has been believed to remove sputum in Korean people. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of pear ethanol extract (PEE) on asthma induced by ovalbumin in mice. Methods : We investigated the effects of PEE on airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine, production levels of ovalbumin (OVA) specific total immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgG1, IgG2a and IgE in serum and histopathological changes of lung tissues in asthamtic mice. Results : PEE decreased airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine significantly compared to non-treated asthmatic mice (P<0.05). Level of OVA specific IgE in serum was lowered by oral administration of PEE effectively (P<0.05). In histopathological observation, administration of PEE reduced infiltration of immune cells into lung tissue. Conclusion : These results suggest that pear has anti-asthmaitc action and related mechanims are involved in anti-inflammatory action such as reducing level of OVA specific IgE and immune cell infiltration.
