immunomodulatory effects of astragalus gypsicolus hydroalcoholic extract in ovalbumin-induced allergic mice model
نویسندگان
چکیده
several studies have demonstrated that herbal extracts possess various biological effects including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities. the present study was aimed to investigate the protective effects of the astragalus gypsicolus (ag) hydroalcoholic extract in early allergic sensitized mice induced by ovalbumin. phytochemical assay was used to recognize the main active constituents in the ag hydroalcoholic extract. mice were immunized with subcutaneous injection of ovalbumin and aluminum hydroxide. efficiency of sensitization was assessed by serum ige levels and eosinophil count. after sensitization, two doses of extract (250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg) were injected intrapritoneally. on day 14, mice were challenged with intrapritoneal injection of ovalbumin. il-4 and ifnγ levels in broncoalveolar lavage fluid, which had been collected on day 15, were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) kit. our results indicate two main active constituents including flavonoids and terpenoids are present in the ag hydroalcoholic extract. intrapritoneal injection of the ag hydroalcoholic extract was able to decrease il-4 and increase ifnγ. it seems the ag hydroalcoholic extract has the potential to modulate the balance of th1/th2 cytokines in allergy.

متن کاملEffects of Hyeonggaeyeongyo-Tang in Ovalbumin-Induced Allergic Rhinitis Model
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an allergic inflammation of the nasal airways. The prevalence of AR is increasing worldwide. We investigated whether Hyeonggaeyeongyo-tang (HYT) is effective to suppress the progression of AR induced by ovalbumin (OVA). Male BALB/c mice were used for this study. Allergic rhinitis was induced by OVA. Treatment with HYT was assessed to study the effect of HYT on allergic...
متن کاملThe effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells on ovalbumin-induced allergic asthma and cytokine responses in mice
Objective(s): Allergic Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the lungs that is characterized by increased infiltration of leukocytes into the airways, limiting the respiratory function. Studies suggest that a defective general regulatory system against inflammation could be a significant factor in allergic asthma. It has been shown that Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a cellular immunosuppres...

We investigated the effects of orally administered probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus species) as allergic immune modulators in ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mice. BALB/c mice were intraperitoneally injected with OVA twice at a 2-week interval for allergy sensitization. The mice were then orally administered Lactobacillus casei YIT9029 (L1), L. casei HY7201 (L2), L. brevis HY7401 (L3), or L. planta...

Objective: Inflammation is one of the major components of asthma. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of C. sativus extract on total and differential white blood cells (WBC) count in lung lavage fluid (LLF) of ovalbumin-sensitized rats. Materials and Methods: Forty rats were divided into five groups (n = 8 for each group) as control (C), sensitized with injection and inhalation of ovalbumin (OA...
