In the present study, we examined the effects of the aqueous extract of Rhodiola sachalinensis root (RSE) on the expression of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) gene in RAW264.7 macrophages. RSE synergistically increased NO synthesis in interferon-gamma-primed macrophages. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and Northern blotting analysis revealed that RSE may provide a second triggering signal for the synergistic induction of iNOS mRNA expression. Thus, iNOS-mediated NO synthesis in response to RSE may be one mechanism whereby this herbal medicine elicits its therapeutic effects.
