Abstract
|
|
|
|
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 are important inflammatory mediators that have been implicated in pathogenesis of inflammation and certain types of human cancers. The present study was designed in order to determine whether Wild ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Mayer) could modulate -kinase (IKK), iNOS and COX-2 gene expression and its immune responses in RAW 264.7 macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 ). Wild ginseng extract dose-dependantly (*0.5 - 2 ) decreased the LPS-induced IKK, iNOS and COX-2 mRNA expression and its immune responses. Moreover, it inhibited unclear factor (NF)- immune response by LPS. These data be likely to indicate that Wild ginseng may acts as inflammatory regulator and may be possible to develope a useful agent for inflammatory diseases.
