Abstract
Ethnopharmacological relevance
Preliminary studies showed that Shanlameiye granules are derived from Chimonanthus nitens Oliv. Leaves ameliorate inflammatory responses in mice with Allergic Rhinitis (AR). The essential oil from Chimonanthus nitens Oliv. Leaves (CLO) have been identified as the key active substances in these granules. However, whether CLO constitutes the primary mechanism for the mitigation of AR-related inflammation by these granules has not yet been investigated.
Aim of the study
This experiment was to validate the effects and mechanism of CLO on inflammatory responses in RAW264.7 cells and AR rat model.
Materials and methods
An inflammatory model was induced in RAW264.7 cells by Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) & Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) stimulation. AR rat model was established using both systemic and local challenges with Ovalbumin (OVA).
Results
In cell experiments, CLO obviously decreased the secretion of cytokines and inhibited the NF-κB signaling pathway activation. In animal experiments, CLO decreased the number of eosinophils in the blood and lowered the levels of cytokines in nasal lavage fluid (NALF). Additionally, CLO inhibited the expression of STAT6, GATA-3, and p-p65, while increasing the expression of STAT4 and T-bet in the nasal mucosa.
Conclusion
In AR rat model, CLO may play an anti-inflammatory role in AR rat model by regulating NF-κB and T-bet/GATA-3 signaling pathways.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Ethnopharmacology is dedicated to the exchange of information and understandings about people''s use of plants, fungi, animals, microorganisms and minerals and their biological and pharmacological effects based on the principles established through international conventions. Early people confronted with illness and disease, discovered a wealth of useful therapeutic agents in the plant and animal kingdoms. The empirical knowledge of these medicinal substances and their toxic potential was passed on by oral tradition and sometimes recorded in herbals and other texts on materia medica. Many valuable drugs of today (e.g., atropine, ephedrine, tubocurarine, digoxin, reserpine) came into use through the study of indigenous remedies. Chemists continue to use plant-derived drugs (e.g., morphine, taxol, physostigmine, quinidine, emetine) as prototypes in their attempts to develop more effective and less toxic medicinals.
