摘要: Abstract In atopic dermatitis, scratching of the skin as a reaction to itching causes injury skin, which, in turn, further increases resulting establishment so-called itch–scratch circle. We have shown that prostaglandin (PG) D 2 plays an inhibitory role against pruritus mice with atopic-like dermatitis; therefore, we examined relationship between and cutaneous PGD level using artificial model wire brush. Mechanical induced temporary increase PGs levels (PGE , 6-ketoPGF 1 α PGF ). The ability production decreased at 48h after repeated scratch, compared normal not so single scratch. Immunohistochemical analysis Western blotting revealed decrease cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) hematopoietic synthase mechanically scratched skin. reduced for following mechanical could be caused by this expression COX-1 synthase. results suggest decreases produce which is endogenous mediator inhibits pruritus,
