ABSTRACT: Chronic inflammation plays a critical role in the initiation and development of various human illnesses. The use of steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (SAIDs) or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is now much more frequent and presents a number of unwanted side effects. For example long- or short-term usage of SAIDs presents multiple negative side effects such as stomach irritation, thinning of the skin, immune defence regression, weight gain and even sometimes a cortico-dependence, and NSAIDs have been linked to a higher risk of strokes, heart attacks, and heart-related deaths. In parallel, there has been renewed interest in alternative medicines and natural therapies and thousands of potential medicinal plants, including sage and chamomile. This study assesses the gene expression responses of human SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells, pre-treated with aqueous ethanol extracts of sage (Salvia officinalis) or Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), following 4h or 24h treatment with IL-1B versus control conditions.
