Abstract

This studied the immune-enhancing activity properties of water extracts from the leaves, branches, and fruit of 13 species (Rhamnaceae) collected during the bearing season (Berchemia berchemiifolia, B. floribunda, Hovenia dulcis, Paliurus ramosissimus, Rhamnella franguloides, Rhamnus crenata, R. davurica, R. koraiensis, R. parvifolia, R. ussuriensis, R. yoshinoi, Sageretia thea, and Ziziphus jujube). Immune-enhancing activity were studied using the nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW264.7 cells. Extracts of B. berchemiifolia, H. dulcis, R. franguloides, R. crenata, R. davurica, R. ussuriensis and S. thea showed strong immune-enhancing activity through NO production. In addition, the expression of immune enhancement-related cytokine genes (NOS, COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) were confirmed through PCR-electrophoresis. The results of this study suggest that Rhamnaceae extracts can be used as natural antioxidants and immune enhancer.
