Anti-Inflammatory and Immune Regulatory Effects of Salvia officinalis Extract on OVA-induced Asthma in Mice
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study designed to evaluate the protective effect of Salvia officinalis (SO) water extract against OVAinduced asthma in mice. The OVA-induced asthmatic mice exhibited significant increase in total leukocytes count, IL-4 and IL-5 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and eosinophils count in (BALF), in addition, to the serum total IgE level. Pathological changes in the lung were evaluated and compared to either treated OVAchallenged SO group or controlSalvia Officinalis oral administered group. Salvia Officinalis extract reduced significantly the number of inflammatory cells and cytokines in the BALF and the level of IgE as compared to OVAchallenged group. Moreover, Salvia Officinalis extract (SO) reduced the eosinophils infiltration in the lung tissue. These results suggest that Salvia officinalis extract via oral treatment may have anti-inflammatory and immune regulatory effects on bronchial allergic asthma.

The 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...
متن کاملAnti-asthmatic effect of Sanguisorba officinalis L. and potential role of heme oxygenase-1 in an ovalbumin-induced murine asthma model.
Sanguisorba officinalis L. is known to have anti-inflammatory properties. However, the potential effects of S. officinalis against asthma have not been reported. In the present study, we investigated the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of S. officinalis in a murine ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma model. Mice were sensitized and challenged by OVA inhalation to induce airway inflammat...

Objective(s): Umbelliprenin is a prenyloxy-coumarin with pharmacologically polyvalent activity. Several studies have shown its anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antioxidant, and antigenotoxic activity, and other functions. However, the exact mechanism of action of this compound on the immune response has not yet been shown. Here, we investigated umbelliprenin effects on the predominance of Th1 and...
