Abstract

Smilacis Chinae Radix has been used as an anti-inflammatory agent. This study was performed to anti-inflammatory and MAP kinase signaling pathway in vitro. Experimental studies were obtained by measuring the Cytotoxicity, production of NO, PGE2, TNF-$\alpha$ and protein level of catalase, SOD, MAP kinase, The results were summarized as follows: Smilacis Chinae Radix was not cytotoxic effects against Raw264.7 and HEK293 cells. Concentration of $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ Smilacis Chinae Radix inhibited the production of NO in the Raw264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. All concentrations of Smilacis Chinae Radix not significantly inhibited the production of PGE2 in the Raw264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. All concentrations of Smilacis Chinae Radix did not inhibit the production of TNF-$\alpha$ in the Raw264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. Smilacis Chinae Radix has not effect of blocking NF-${\kappa}B$ into nucleus in LPS-induced macrophage Raw264.7 cell. Smilacis Chinae Radix has the effect of Cytoprotection through activation of ERK and inhibition of p38 and JNK. Accordingly the results show Smilacis Chinae Radix could induce anti-inflammation and Cytoprotection effects against In vitro, but it needs more research on the precise mechanism of such effects.

본 연구는 토복령의 항염증 및 세포보호 효과에 미치는 영향에 관한 것으로서 주요 내용은 다음과 같다. 본 실험에서는 세포독성, NO의 생성, PGE2, TNF-$\alpha$와 카탈라아제 농도, SOD, MAP kinase 등을 측정하였다. 본 실험의 결과 토복령 추출물은 세포 독성이 없었고 NO의 생성을 억제하며, 항염증과 세포보호 효과가 있었다. 그러나 이러한 효과에 대한 명확한 메커니즘에 대해서는 좀 더 연구가 필요하다는 내용이다.
