Abstract
Objectives : This study aimed to evaluate inhibitory effects of GHJ on allergic inflammatory response in human mast cells (HMC-1). Methods : To investigate the inhibitory effect of GHJ (62.5, 125, 250, 500, <TEX>$1000{\mu}g/mL$</TEX>), HMC-1 cells were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate plus calcium ionophore A23187 (PMACI). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were investigated using GHJ extract. Results : GHJ inhibited levels of <TEX>$TNF-{\alpha}$</TEX> and IL-6 of <TEX>$1000{\mu}g/mL$</TEX> concentration in ELISA and mRNA expression. GHJ had inhibitory effects in level of MAPKs, <TEX>$p-I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$</TEX> and p-NF-kB also. GHJ attenuated Compound 48/80-stimulated histamine release. In addition, GHJ inhibited PCA reaction in vivo. Conclusion : This study indicated that GHJ extract can inhibit allergic responses in HMC-1 cell.
