알로에 베라와 알로에 센스 추출물에 의한 phosphatidic acid(PA)로 염증을 유발한 Raw 264.7 세포에서 항염증 효과를 측정하였다. 알로에 자체는 염증반응에 관여하지 않았으며, 알로에 추출물들이 PA처리에 의해 증가된 염증관련 COX-2의 발현을 억제함으로서 항염증 효과가 있음이 확인되었다.
With extracted Aloe vera and Aloe arborescens, anti-inflammatory effect was examined in phosphatidic acid-stimulated Raw 264.7 cells. Phosphatidic acid $(50;{mu}g/ml)$ treatment increased inflammation related 264.7 cells. The extracts of $80;{mu}g/ml$ concentration from Aloe arborescens reduced the expression of iNOS. Aloe vera and Aloe arborescens also reduced the expression of COX-2, it seems that anti-inflammatory effects of Aloe extracts is partly due to the inhibition of COX-2 expression by inhibiting in Raw 264.7 cells.
