In the present study, we examined the inhibitive effect of ginsenoside Rh1 on oxazolone-induced atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions in hairless mice. Oral administration of ginsenoside Rh1 improved clinical symptoms, and it was confirmed by histophathological analysis. In ginsenoside Rh1 (20 mg/kg) group, ear swellings and ear weights were significantly lower than the control group. Moreover, elevation of IL-6 and total IgE levels in serum were suppressed by ginsenoside Rh1 (20 mg/kg). In addition, ginsenoside Rh1 (20 mg/kg) significantly increased mRNA expression of IFNγ and Foxp3, and slightly decreased IL-4 expression in draining lymph nodes. The results suggest that ginsenoside Rh1 can alleviate inflammatory symptoms in atopic dermatitis (AD) by reduction of IgE and IL-6 levels in peripheral blood, increase of Foxp3 expression in draining lymph nodes and suppression of inflammation in skin regions. Indeed, ginsenoside Rh1 exhibited therapeutic possibility in immune disorders.
