BANG et al. Materials and Methods microplates. The next day, the cells were treated with various concentrations (0, 100, 200, and 400 mg/mL) of A. polygama extract Plant sample. Dried fruit of A. polygama was purchased from a at 37 C. After 48 h, 100 mL of MTT (5 mg/mL) was added to each Chinese drug store in Yeongcheon City, Gyeongbuk, Korea. A voucher well, and the plates were incubated at 37 C for 4 h. One hundred mL specimen (KHU-090723) was deposited at the Laboratory of Natural of DMSO was added to each well to dissolve the cells. The plates Products Chemistry, Kyung Hee University, Yongin, Korea. were kept at room temperature for 5 min, and the absorbance was measured at 550 nm using a multiwell spectrophotometer (Molecular Instruments and reagents. Melting points were determined using a Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). The cytotoxicity of the extract in the IgE- sensitized RBL-2H3 cells was also assessed by MTT assay. The Fisher-John apparatus (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA) and were not cells (3 Â 104 cells/well) were seeded and incubated with 450 ng/mL corrected. Optical rotation was measured on a Jasco P-1010 digital polarimeter (Jasco, Tokyo). The IR spectrum was collected on a of DNP-specific IgE at 37 C overnight before treatment with the Perkin-Elmer Spectrum One FT-IR Spectrometer (Perkin-Elmer, extract. Norwalk, CT). EIMS was recorded on a JEOL JMS 700 (JEOL, Tokyo). 1H NMR (400 MHz) and 13C NMR (100 MHz) spectra were Determination of LPS-induced NO production from RAW 264.7 5 assessed using a Varian Unity Inova AS 400 FT-NMR spectrometer cells. RAW 264.7 cells were seeded in 96-well plates (1 Â 10 cells/well) overnight and treated with various concentrations of test (Palo Alto, CA). CHCl3-d1 with TMS as internal standard was purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). Dinitrophenyl (DNP)-specific samples (in 0.1% DMSO) in the presence of LPS (final concentration, IgE, Earle’s basal salt solution (EBSS), trypsin solution, 3-(4,5- 100 ng/mL) at 37 C for 24 h. After LPS stimulation for 24 h, NO dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), and production in the cell culture medium was measured by the Griess 23) LPS were from Sigma (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). Fetal bovine serum Reagent System. Briefly, the culture supernatant (100 mL) was mixed (FBS), minimal essential medium (MEM), and other cell culture with same volume of Griess reagent (1% sulfanilamide and 0.1% reagents were from Gibco BRL (Grand Island, NY). DNP-bovine naphtylethylendiamine in 2.5% phosphoric acid) for 10 min, and the serum albumin was from Alpha Diagnostic International (San Antonio, absorbance was measured at 540 nm. The NO concentration was TX). All other reagents were from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). calculated from a standard curve of NaNO2.

In brief, RBL-2H3 cells seeded in the extract solutions, the combined filtrate was concentrated by rotary 24-well plates (2 Â 105 cells/well) were sensitized with anti-DNP IgE vacuum evaporator (Eyela Uni Trap UT-1000, Tokyo, Japan) at 55 C (450 ng/mL) at 37 C overnight. The cells were washed with and freeze-dried to use as the ethanol extract of A. polygama (EtOH, Siraganian buffer and then incubated in 160 mL of the incubation 306.9 g). Essential oils from A. polygama were extracted using the buffer at 37 C for 20 min. Then the cells were treated with 20 mLof Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) apparatus (SFT-100XW, Super- extract for 10 min, followed by the addition of 20 mL of antigen (DNP- critical Fluid Technologies, Newark, DE). Briefly, 40 g of A. polygama BSA, 10 mg/mL) at 37 C for 10 min to stimulate the cells to granulate. were placed in an extraction vessel (100 mL), and SFE was statically The reaction was stopped by cooling in an ice bath for 10 min.
