Objectives : This research aimed to study the cytotoxicity and immuno modulating activity of fermented Artemisia argyi Lev. et Vant.(Compositae).
Methods : Effect of fermented Artemisiae Argyi Folium extracts, which were fermented by Sacchromyces cerevisiae STV89(AFS), on cell viability, generation of ROS within cells, generation of NO and the level of cytokines(TNF-α and IL-6) was measured using mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cell.
Results : 1. Result of MTT assay conducted to verify the cytotoxicity of fermented Artemisiae argyi folium extract illustrated that, when fermented Artemisiae argyi folium extract was processed for each concentration, there was no excessive induction of cytoxicity in the RAW 264.7 cell. 2. Fermented Artemisiae Argyi Folium extract increased the generation of H2O2 within RAW 264.7 cell as well as significantly increased inhibition of generation of H2O2 in macrophage induced by LPS. 3. Fermented Artemisiae Argyi Folium extract inhibited generation of NO in RAW 264.7 cell, and significantly inhibited increase in generation of NO of macrophage induced by LPS. 4. Fermented Artemisiae Argyi Folium extract, AFS has significantly reduced the increase in the generation of TNF-α above 10 ㎍/mL. 5. Fermented Artemisiae Argyi Folium extract, AFS has significantly reduced the increase in generation of IL-6 above 50 ㎍/mL.
Conclusions : AFS fermented extract produced from Artemisiae Argyi Flium, have increased generation of ROS and reduced generation of NO in RAW 264.7 cell without excessively inducing cytotoxicity of RAW 264.7 cell. In addition, they displayed significant immuno modulating activities including inhibition of generation of TNF-α and IL-6 in macrophage, induced by LPS.
