Objectives and Methods : Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix (SMR) promotes blood circulation to remove blood stasis, cools the blood to relieve carbuncle, clears away heat from the heart and tranquilizes the mind. This study was designed to investigate the effects of SMR on immuno-potentiative action in terms of changes in the genetic profile of dendritic cells (DC) using by microarray analysis.
Results and Conclusion : In this experiment, treatments with more than 250 §¶/§¢ upto 1000 §¶/§¢ of SMR elevated the proliferation rates of DC. Microscopic observations confirmed the tendency on proliferation rates. Expression levels of genes related with cellular methabolic process, cell communication, and macromolecule metabolic process were elevated by treatment with SMR in comparison of functional distribution in a Biological Process. In molecular functions, expression levels of genes related with receptor activation, nucleotide binding and nucleic acid binding were elevated. In cellular components, expression levels of genes related to cellular membrane-bound organelles were elevated. In addition, expression levels of genes related to Wnt signalling pathways and the glycerophospholipid metabolism were elevated through analysis using pathway analysis between up-and down-regulated genes in cells treated with SMR. Finally, genes related to JAK2, GRB2, CDC42, SMAD4, B2M, FOS and ESR1 located the center of Protein interaction network of genes through treatment with SMR.
