Abstract EN
We examined whether Angelicae Dahuricae Radix (AR) suppresses the development of atopic dermatitis (AD)-like skin lesions induced by Dermatophagoides farinae in NC/Nga mice.
To investigate the effect of AR, we measured the AD severity score, measured plasma levels of IgE and histamine, and performed histological analysis in NC/Nga mice.
We also confirmed the anti-inflammatory effects of AR by measuring TARC/CCL17 production from LPS-treated RAW 264.7 cells and mRNA levels of TARC and MDC/CCL22 in TNF-α/IFN-γ-treated HaCaT cells.
10 mg/day of AR extract was applied for 4 weeks to NC/Nga mice.
Both the AR extract and 0.1% tacrolimus suppressed the development of AD-like skin lesions and reduced dermatitis scores of the back and ear skin.
AR extracts caused an inhibition of histological changes induced by repeated application of D.
farinae and a reduction of IgE and histamine levels in plasma (P<0.05).
Furthermore, NO production in LPS-treated RAW 264.7 cells was diminished in a dose-dependent manner, and hTARC production and TARC and MDC mRNA levels in TNF-α/IFN-γ-treated HaCaT cells were diminished by AR.
The inhibitory effect of AR on NO, TARC and MDC production may be associated with the suppression of AD-like skin lesions in D.
farinae-induced NC/Nga mice.
