Purpose : The Purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of Haingkyunghonghwatang (HKHHT) on anti-inflammatory effects.
Methods : As for the parameters of inflammation, levels of several inflammatory cytokines and chemical mediators were determined in mouse lung fibroblast cells(mLFC) and RAW264.7 cells. Also, changes in pathological features by drug treatment were investigated in the in vivo edema-induced rats by carrageenin/arachidonic acid or in the colitis-induced mice by DSS treatment.
Results : The cytotoxicity of HKHHT on mLFC and RAW264.7 cells wasn’’t observed at 100, 50, 10, and 1{mu}g/ml of The treatments. IL-1{beta}, IL-6 and NOS-II mRNA expression of RAW264.7 cells was inhibited by The treatments in a dose-dependent manner. HKHHT treatment of RAW264.7cells(HtRc) inhibited TNF-{alpha} and COX-2 mRNA expression. HtRc significantly inhibited IL-6 and NO production. HtRc inhibited ROS production. HKHHT inhibited rat’’s paw edema induced by carrageenin or arachidonate treatment in all concentrations examined. The body weight and colon length of colitis-induced mice were recovered to a normal level by DSS treatment. Clinical disease levels were significantly improved compared to the control animals. HKHHT treatment of colitis-induced mice(HtCm) significantly increased hematological values such as WBC and RBC counts, Hgb and HCT levels, but decreased PLT values. HtCm decreased IL-6 and TNF-{alpha} production significantly HtCm significantly increased CD3+(T) cell counts. In contrast, HKHHT treatment decreased CD19+ B cell counts and CD3+/CD69+ significantly, and also decreased B/T ratio (%) though not significant.
Conclusion : These results indicated that HKHHT could be used for treating diverse female diseases caused by the inflammation.
