The Effects of Samhwangseje on Anti-Inflammation in Raw 264.7 cell

Objectives : This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Samhwangseje(SHSJ) on anti-Inflammation in Raw 264.7 cell. Methods : The effects of SHSJ on anti-Inflammation were measured by the cytotoxicity of Raw 264.7 cell, the inhibition for NO, TNF-, , iNOS and COX-2, the blocking NF- into nucleus. Results : 1. All concentrations of SHSJ had no cytotoxicity in Raw 264.7 cell. 2. All concentrations of SHSJ inhibited the production of NO in the Raw 264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. 3. All concentrations of SHSJ did not inhibit the production of TNF- in the Raw 264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. 4. All concentrations of SHSJ inhibited the production of in the Raw 264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. 5. All concentrations of SHSJ did not inhibit the expression of COX-2 but concentrations of 50 , 100 SHSJ inhibited iNOS expression in the Raw 264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. 6. Concentrations of 50 , 100 SHSJ had the effect of blocking NF- into nucleus in LPS-induced macrophage Raw 264.7 cell.
