Influences of "Antiphlogistic No.1" on the degranultion of Activated RBL-2H3 cells

Abstract

Objective To investigate the direct effect ofAntiphlogistic No.1 on the degranultion of RBL-2H3 mast cells stimulated by anti-DNP IgE and DNP-BSA complex.Methods The effect of Antiphlogistic No.1 on stabilization of RBL-2H3 cell membrane was assessed by degranultion inhibition rate.β-hexosaminidase and IL-4 released from RBL-2H3 cells were detected by PNAG colorimetric assay and ELISA.Results β-hexosaminidase and cytokine IL-4 production releases from RBL-2H3 cells was reduced after they had been treated with Antiphlogistic No.1.The inhibition rate of β-hexosaminidase release was 42.47％ at the concentration of 8 μg/ml (P＜0.01) and dose dependently increased to 52.40％,68.26％ and 72.15％ respectively when drug concentration up to 80 μg/ml,800 μg/ml,8000 μg/ml,while inhibition rate of IL-4 generation were 13.87％,23.27％,31.95％,39.99％ (P＜0.01).Antiphlogistic No.1 maximum inhibition rate of β-hexosaminidase release is 84.48％ of dexamethason maximum inhibition rate while Antiphlogistic No.l maximum inhibition rate of IL-4 is close to dexamethason maximum inhibition rate.Conclusion Antiphlogistic No.1 could stabilize the cellular membrane of RBL-2H3 and provide protection against Ⅰ type allergic response.
