Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo identify the anti-inflammatory effects of artificial musk aqueous extract(AME)on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cytokines secreted or released by RAW264.7 cells.
METHODSCytokines including interleukin(IL)-6,IL-10,and tumor necrosis factor Α were determined using cytokine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits.
RESULTCompared with model group,the levels of major cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor Α,IL-6,and IL-10 significantly decreased in different AME groups in a dose-dependent manner.
CONCLUSIONIn lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages,AME can remarkably inhibit the release of inflammatory cytokines and thus exerts its anti-inflammatory effects.
