Many investigators have tried to look for atopic dermatitis medicine from natural resources lately because the occurrence of atopic dermatitis has been continuously increasing. Therefore, an aim of this study is to examine inhibitory effects of pine gnarl water extracts (PGWE) on atopic dermatitis. To conduct this experiment, PGWE was added to splenocytes obtained from OVA-immunized mice for an in-vitro test. In addition, an anti-atopic dermatitis test was carried out by spreading PGWE on the dorsal skin of 2,4dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)-induced balb/c mice. It was verified that the IFN-γ, IL-4 and total IgE secretion was suppressed when PGWE was added to splenocytes obtained from OVA-immunized mice. For anti-atopic dermatitis test, PGWE alleviated symptoms of the erythema, crust and dryness in DNCB-induced mice.
Furthermore, the IFN-γ, IL-4 and total IgE secretion of the group treated with PGWE in splenocytes and sera considerably diminished compared to the positive control. Through these results, we can conclude that PGWE can inhibit allergy and atopic dermatitis by modulating IFN-γ, IL-4 cytokine and IgE secretion.
