Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was performed to investigate role of spinal glial cells, especially microglia, in intractable itch of atopic dermatitis (AD) using NC/Nga mouse, an AD model. Intrathecal injection of minocycline (an inhibitor of microglia) suppressed scratching behavior and improved the dermatitis scores through inhibition of increase of spinal microglia. Thus, this finding suggests that spinal microglial cell is one of antipruritic targets in AD.
