Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory response of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activated macrophages (RAW 264.7 murine cell line) to JCE003 which is an extract including Eucommia ulmoides, Juglans regia, Eleutherococcus senticosus, and Zingiber officinale.
Methods: An MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay was performed to analyze the survival rate of RAW 264.7 cells. The production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory cytokines (IFN-¥ã, TNF-¥á, IL-1¥â, IL-6) in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. mRNA expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IFN-¥ã, TNF-¥á, IL-1¥â, and IL-6) were analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis.
Results: Exposure of LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells to JCE003 was not cytotoxic up to 400 ¥ìg/mL, but cell survival was statistically significantly decreased at 800 ¥ìg/mL (p < 0.001). Nitric oxide production was not markedly lowered in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells by exposure to JCE003 (10, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 ¥ìl/mL) compared with the Control group. In addition, JCE003 reduced the production of TNF-¥á in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells at 400 ¥ìg/mL (p < 0.05), but IFN-¥ã and TNF-¥á mRNA expression in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells was decreased at 100, 200, and 400 ¥ìg/mL JCE003 (p < 0.01).
Conclusion: These results suggest that JCE003 inhibited the expression and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells. The findings of this study provide basic data for the development of new Korean medicine anti-inflammatory drugs.
