Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of Manbunbang extract (MBB).
Methods: In order to understand the mechanism of anti-inflammatory effect of MBB, expression of cytokines and its levels in RAW 264.7 cell lines, as well as changes of cytokine gene expressions in serum, spleen, and liver tissues in acute inflammation induced mouse model were investigated.
Results: 1. MBB significantly suppressed the expression levels of IL-1, TNF- and COX-2 mRNAs at 100 and 50 g/m concentrations, and IL-6 and NOS-II genes at 100, 50 and 10 g/m concentrations in RAW 264.7 cell lines, compared to those of the control. 2. MBB significantly reduced the production level of IL-, IL-6 and TNF- at 100 and 50 g/m concentrations in RAW 264.7 cell lines compared the those of the control. 3. MBB significantly reduced the production of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF- levels in sera of acute inflammation induced mice. 4. MBB significanlty suppressed the expression level of IL-1, TNF- mRNA in spleen tissues as well as IL-6 mRNA in liver tissues in acute inflammation induced mice.
Conclusion: From the results above, anti-inflammatory effect of MBB through its immune regulation could be experimentally explained. Wide treatment of inflammatory diseases such as pelvic inflammation using MBB are recommended.
