Abstract | Recent developments has shown that the Rhodiola plant has potent
adaptogenic, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, immune enhancing
activities and immunomodulatory activity. Rhodiola algida
(R. algida) is one of most effective species of Rhodiola and
has clinically proven potential in enhancing human immune responses.
However, its underlying mechanism in immunomodulation
is still unclear.
Although immunomodulatory Chinese Medicinal herbs have
been used extensively in basic research or clinic, there are still
many problems that hinder its popularity in the world. This is because
of 1) a lack of proper quality control and 2) obscure biological
mechanisms have seriously limited their further development.
The current study provides a quantitative assay for the marker
compound, salidroside, in an R. algida extract for ensuring the extraction
method used in the following experiments. It suggests that
the HPLC method used for quantitative assay is simple, quick and
reliable. Biological assay indicated that R. algida stimulates human
peripheral blood lymphocytes and the underlying immunomodulating
effects might be through its regulation of IL-2 in
Th1 cells and IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 in Th2 cells.
In summary, R. algida is a Chinese herb with potential to regulate
human immune responses through modulating both Th1 and
Th2 immunities. The findings may enable us to further explain the
pharmacological properties in clinic and make R. algida a very
promising immunomodulating agent. |
