Characterization of spinal microglial activation in a mouse model of imiquimod-induced psoriasis
Although microglia are associated with chronic pain, the role of spinal microglia in the regulation of itch remains unclear. In this study, we characterized spinal microglial activation in a mouse model of imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis. Hypertrophic (activated) microglia were observed throughout the spinal cord after the topical application of IMQ. Furthermore, the mRNA expression of microglial markers and inflammatory mediators was upregulated. Ablation of itch-related sensory neurons using resiniferatoxin decreased itch-related scratching behavior and the number of hypertrophic microglia in the spinal dorsal horn. Conclusively, sensory neuron input may partially contribute to spinal microglial activation after IMQ application.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences (JPS) is an international open access journal intended for the advancement of pharmacological sciences in the world. The Journal welcomes submissions in all fields of experimental and clinical pharmacology, including neuroscience, and biochemical, cellular, and molecular pharmacology for publication as Reviews, Full Papers or Short Communications. Short Communications are short research article intended to provide novel and exciting pharmacological findings. Manuscripts concerning descriptive case reports, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies without pharmacological mechanism and dose-response determinations are not acceptable and will be rejected without peer review. The ethnopharmacological studies are also out of the scope of this journal. Furthermore, JPS does not publish work on the actions of biological extracts unknown chemical composition.
