ÖZET
 Amaç: İnflamasyon, bağışıklık sisteminin enfeksiyona, yaralanmaya veya tahrişe ilk biyolojik tepkisi olmakla birlikte kontrol edilemediğinde otoinflamatuar ve nörodejeneratif hastalıklara veya kansere neden olabilir. Myrtus communis L. (MC) Akdeniz bölgesinde yetişen, çokça farmakolojik aktivitesi olan aromatik bir bitkidir. Bu çalışmada, halk arasında sıklıkla kullanılan MC esansiyel yağının antiinflamatuar etkisini araştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Sağlıklı insan bronşiyal epitel hücre hattı (BEAS-2B) ile hücre kültürü çalışmaları yapıldı. Hücreler; kontrol, interlökin-1 beta (IL-1β) ile inflamatuar hâle getirilen BEAS-2B hücreleri ve MC uygulanan inflamatuar BEAS-2B hücreleri olmak üzere 3 farklı gruba ayrıldı. MC'nin sitotoksik olmayan konsantrasyonları MTT testi ile belirlendi. IL-6, IL-10, uyarılabilir sitrik oksit sentaz [inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)], tümör nekrozis faktör alfa (TNF-α), siklooksigenaz-2 [cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)] ve nükleer faktör kappa B (NFκB) genlerinin ekspresyon düzeyleri revers transkriptaz-kantitatif polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu ile saptandı. IL-6, IL-10, iNOS ve TNF-α protein düzeyleri ELISA ile ölçüldü. Bulgular: IL-1β ile uyarılmış inflamatuar hücrelerde artan IL-6, IL-10 ve NFκB mRNA düzeyleri, MC yağı uygulama sonrası anlamlı derecede azalarak bazal seviyelere dönmüştür. IL-6 ve IL-10 protein düzeyleri gen ekspresyon verileriyle uyumlu olarak inflamatuar hâle getirilen grupta artmış olarak saptandı. MC uygulaması inflamatuar hücrelerdeki artan protein düzeylerini kontrol gurubundaki bazal seviyeye döndürdü. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, MC esansiyel yağının BEAS-2B hücrelerinde proinflamatuar sitokinlerin ekspresyonunu inhibe ederek, antiinflamatuar etkiye sahip olduğunu gösterdik. MC esansiyel yağının güçlü bir antiinflamatuar etkiye sahip potansiyel bir terapötik ajan olarak değerlendirilmesi için farklı konsantrasyonlarla daha fazla araştırma yapılmalıdır.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: Inflammation is the primary biological response of immune system against infection, injury, and irritation, but when it is not curbed, it can lead to autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases or cancer. Myrtus communis L. (MC) is an aromatic plant raised in the region of Mediterranean Sea and bearing several pharmacological activities. We aimed in this study to investigate anti-inflammatory effects of MC essential oil that is often utilized by the local population. Material and Methods: Cell culture experiments were conducted with healthy bronchial epithelial lung cell line (BEAS-2B). The cells were grouped in three as follows; non-treated control, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) induced inflammatory cells, and MC-treated inflammatory cells. Non-cytotoxic concentrations of MC were determined with MTT assay. The gene expression levels of IL-6, IL-10, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and nuclear factor kappa b (NFκB) were analyzed with reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The protein levels of IL-6, IL-10, iNOS, and TNF-α were detected with ELISA. Results: The elevated mRNA levels of IL-6, IL-10, and NFκB in IL-1β-induced inflammatory cells significantly reduced back to the basal levels after MC treatment. In line with the mRNA levels, the protein levels of IL-6 and IL-10 significantly increased in inflammatory cells. MC treatment reversed this increase in protein levels to the baseline as in the control group. Conclusion: We demonstrated in our study the anti-inflammatory effects of MC essential oil on BEAS2B cells by inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. To be able suggest MC essential oil as a potential therapeutic agent with a strong anti-inflammatory action, further studies testing several concentrations are warranted.
