Abstract

Objective: This study was to investigate the effect of Danchunwhangagam(DCWGG) extract on the production of proinflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from Cerebral infarction(CI) patients. Methods: We examined how the inhibition rate of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin(IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 productions in DCWGG pretreatment PBMCs culture supernatant in the lipopolysaccaride(LPS)- or desferrioxamine(DFX)-treated cells compared to unstimulated cells. Results: DCWGG inhibited the productions of TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 induced by LPS in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: DCWGG might have regulatory effects on LPS or DFX-induced cytokine production, which might explain its beneficial effect in the treatment of CI.
