| ABSTRACT |
Objective :
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Samjawhadam-jeon (SJHDJ; 三子化痰煎) on immune cells in OVA-induced asthmatic mice.
Materials and Methods :
C57BL/6 mice were injected, inhaled and sprayed with OVA for 12 weeks (four times a week) for asthma induction. Two experimental groups were treated with different concentrations of SJHDJ group (400 ㎎/㎏) extracts and cyclosporin A (10 ㎎/㎏) for the latter 8 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the mouse lung, peripheral lymph node (PLN) and spleen were removed and immune cells were analyzed by flow cytometer.
Results:
Lung weight, total cells in lung, PLN, and spleen of the SJHDJ group decreased significantly compared with that of the control group. Number of CD3e+/CD69+, CD3e+/DX5+ cells in lung, PLN and spleen, number of CD3+ cells in PLN and spleen, number of CD3e-/CCR3+ cells in lung and PLN, and number of B220+/IgE+ cells in PLN of the SJHDJ group decreased compared with that of the control group. Number of CD4+/CD25+ cells in PLN and spleen of the SJHDJ group increased compared with that of the control group.
Conclusion:
These results demonstrate that SJHDJ will be a desirable alternative therapy for allergic asthma by inhibiting the expression of immune cells. |
