Oral Administration ofVaccinium uliginosumL. Extract Alleviates DNCB-Induced Atopic Dermatitis in NC/Nga Mice

Abstract: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease that responds to the interplay of environmental, immunological, and genetic factors. To explore the effect of Vaccinium uliginosum (VU) extract on AD, we orally administrated VU total water extract to AD-induced NC/Nga mice. VU extract reduced AD-like skin lesions, ear thickness, and the frequency of scratching episodes in a time-dependent manner. VU also suppressed the levels of IgE and histamine and the ratio of IgG1/IgG2a in the serum o… Show more

“…V. uliginosum extract reduced atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions induced by DNCB, like ear thickness and the frequency of scratching episodes in a time-dependent manner. The extract also reduced epidermal thickening, the infiltration of eosinophils, mast cells, and degranulated mast cells induced by DNCB [ 87 ].…”

“…This study differs from previous studies with regard to the timing of treatment administration. Previous studies administered the herbal extracts after AD symptom onset [ 27 30 ]. On the other hand, this study administered the herbal extracts before clinical symptom onset.…”

“…The NC / Nga mouse is the first reported spontaneously occurring AD model [7,8] . Skin changes that closely mimic human AD are induced in NC / Nga mice following exposure to hypersensitivity pathogenesis is predominantly the result of T cell mediated immune responses [9,14] . Therefore, DNCB-treated NC / Nga mice have been used as a valuable animal model for screening anti-AD agents [15,16] .…”
