| Abstract: | AIM: To explore the inhibitory effect of oxymatrine （OMT） on the allergic contact dermatitis （ACD） stimulated by dinitrofluorobenzene （DNFB） and its effects on the proliferation of the lymphocytes. METHODS: ① An ACD mouse model was established by stimulation with DNFB, and then the mice were injected intraperitoneally with different dosages of OMT， PBS and hydrocortisone （HCT） respectively, the swelling degree of their auricles was examined. ② Carboxyfluorescein diacetate, succinimidyl ester (CFDA-SE) dye and flow cytometer were used to examine the fluorescence intensity changes of lymphocytes stimulated by polyclonal stimulator ConA and OMT. RESULTS: ① compared with PBS group, OMT possessed the strong inhibitory effect on the ACD caused by DNFB in a dose-dependent manner, and its inhibitory effect was equivalent to the HCT of the same dosage with fewer side effects. ② In vitro experiments proved that OMT (500, 125 and 31 mg/L) had the ability to restrain the proliferation of lymphocytes of mouse. CONCLUSION: OMT possesses an inhibitory effect on the ACD induced by DNFB, and OMT is a kind of immunosuppressor. |
