Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Angelicae pubescentis Radix water extract(ACE) on immune properties in macrophage cells. Methods: The cells were divided into two groups: As a control, the first was not treated with ACE, and the other was treated with ACE. Together with the cell viability, productions of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α by treating of ACE were monitored. Results: 1. There was no decrease of the cell viability after 24 hr incubation, but a significant decrease after 48 hr incubation with all four concentrations (25, 100, 200, and 400 ㎍/㎖) of ACE. 2. A significant increase in the production of NO was observed in the concentrations above 50 ㎍/㎖ of ACE after 24 hr incubation. 3. Further, after 48 hr incubation, the critical concentration of ACE for the increase was reduced to 25 ㎍/㎖. 4. The production of IL-1β significantly increased with the ACE concentrations of 100 and 200 ㎍/㎖ after 24 hr incubation. 5. The production of IL-6 significantly increased with the ACE concentration of 200 ㎍/㎖ after 24 hr incubation. 6. A significant increase in the production of TNF-α was detected with ACE concentrations of 50, 100, and 200 ㎍/㎖ after 24 hr incubation Conclusions: These show that ACE increases mouse macrophage NO production at concentrations above 50 ㎍/㎖, and the cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) at concentrations above 200 ㎍/㎖. These results suggest that ACE improves macrophage immune property.
