Abstract

Objective : The aim of this study was to investigate the asthma-suppressive and immune-regulatory effect of AHCR-HA(ASARI HERBA CUM RADICE Herbal-acupuncture) at Pyesu(BLl3) on OVA(ovalbumin)-induced asthma in mice. Methods : C57BL/6 mice out of all the experimental groups, except the Normal group and the AHCR-HA group, were sensitized and challenged with OVA The mice in the AHCR-HA group and the OVA-AHCR-HA group were treated with AHCR-HA(1%) at Pyesu(BL13). The mice in the OVA-Saline group were injected with saline at Pyesu(BL13). The mice in the OVA-Needle-Prick group were treated with a single prick with an injection needle at Pyesu(BL13). AHCR-HA saline injection and needle prick were administered for 8 weeks, three times a week. Result : 1. The populations of granulocytes, CD3e-/CCR3+ cells, CD69+/CD3e+ cells, CD4+ cells and CD23+/B220+ cells in the OVA-induced asthmatic mouse lungs decreased significantly by AHCR-HA. 2. The lung weight, total cells in lung, total leukocytes in BALF, eosinophils in BALF, collagen accumulation in the lung sections of the OVA-AHCR-HA group decreased significantly. 3.The concentrations of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IgE in BALF and serum of the OVA-AHCR-HA group decreased significantly. 4. The numbers of Gr-1+/CD11b+, CCR3+, CD3e+, CD19+, CD3e+/CD69+cells in the OVA-AHCR-HA group decreased significantly. 5. The mRAN expressions of $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-5, IL-4 and IL-13 in lung of the OVA-AHCR-HA group decreased significantly. 6. The AHCR-HA group didn't show any considerable difference from the Normal group. The OVA-saline group and the OVA-Needle prick group showed suppressive effects on OVA-induced asthma however they were not statistically significant. Conclusion : These results suggest that AHCR-HA at Pyesu(BL13) is considered to be effective in treating asthma and to be put to practical use in the future asthma clinic.

폐유(肺兪) 세신약침(細辛藥鍼)(AMCR-HA)이 정상 mouse와 알레르기 喘息이 유발된 mouse의 면역기전(免疫機轉)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 비교검토(比較檢討)하기 위하여 C57BL/6 mouse에 알레르기 천식병태(喘息病態)를 유발(誘發)하고 천식(喘息)이 유발(誘發)된 mouse와 정상 mouse의 폐유(肺兪) (BLl3)에 세신약침(細辛藥鍼)을 시술(施術)한 후, in vitro 및 in vivo 실험을 통해 폐유(肺兪) 세신약침(細辛藥鍼)이 천식억제(喘息抑制) 및 면역조절작용(免疫調節作用)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 관찰(觀察)하여 다음과 같은 결론(結論)을 얻었다. in vitro 1. 폐내(肺內) 호립구(灝粒球), $CD3e^-/CCR3^+$, $CD69^+/CD3e^+$, $CD4^+$, $CD23^+/B220^+$ 경포(絅胞) 비율은 유의성(有意性)있게 감소(減少)하였다. in vivo 2. 폐의(肺) 질양(質量) 및 총 (總) 세포(細胞) 수 (數)는 유의성(有意性)있게 감소(減少) 하였다. 3. BALF내의(內) 총 (總) 임파구(淋巴球)와 호산구(好酸球) 수가(數) 유의성(有意性) 있게 감소(減少)하였다. 4. 조직학적(組織學的) 검사결과(檢査結果), collagen의 부착(附着)이 유의성(有意性) 있게 감소(減少)하였다. 5. BALF 및 serum 내 (內)IL-4, IL-5., IL-13, LgE 수가(數) 유의성(有意性)있게 감소(減少)하였다. 6. 폐내(肺內) $Gr-1^+/CD11b^+$, $CCR3^+$, $CD3e^+$, $CDl9^+$, $CD3e^+/CD69^+$ 세포(細胞) 수가(數) 유의성(有意性)있게 감소(減少)하였다. 7. TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 등의 mRNA 발현(發顯)이 유의성(有意性)있게 감소(減少)하였다. 8. AHCR-HR군(群)에서는 Normal군과(群) 비교하여 별다른 차이가 없었으며, OVA-Saline 군과(群) OVA-Needle-Prick군에(群)서는 OVA control군과(群) 비교하여 유의성(有意性)있는 변화를 관찰 할 수 없었다.
