| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The intrathecal administration of 30 nmol morphine increased the itching behavior of mice, and elevated the phosphorylation level of ERK and p38 of MAP kinase, which known to be associated with pain and itch at the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. At the same time, immunohistochemistry confirmed an increase in gastrin releasing peptides, which are histamine-independent itching substances, in the dorsal horn I and Ⅱ layer of the spinal cord and DRG. On the other hand, the itching behavior of mice by intrathecal administration of morphine was significantly suppressed by pre-administration of a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist ondansetron and pre-administration of serotonin synthase inhibitor p-chrolophenylalanine. These results suggested that activation of serotonin receptor, particularly 5-HT3 receptor, was involved in itching by morphine.
