Substance P induction of itch-associated response mediated by cutaneous NK1 tachykinin receptors in mice.
Our experiments were conducted to determine whether substance P (SP) would elicit an itch sensation mediated by mast cells in mice. An intradermal injection of SP (10-135 microgram site-1) into the rostral back of the ICR mouse dose-dependently produced scratching of the injected site. The SP- (135 microgram site-1 = 100 nmol site-1) induced scratching was inhibited by capsaicin (repeated admin...
متن کاملInvolvement of tachykinin NK1 and NK2 receptors in substance P-induced microvascular leakage hypersensitivity and airway hyperresponsiveness in guinea-pigs.
Tachykinins, such as substance P, might be involved in the development of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and airway inflammation. However, it is unknown which tachykinin receptors mediate these biological activities. The effects of two antagonists of tachykinin neurokinin-1 (NK1) and tachykinin neurokinin-2 (NK2) receptors, SR 140333 and SR 48968, respectively, were investigated on substance ...
متن کاملQualitative analysis of substance P, NK1-receptor and nerve ingrowth in substance P-treated ruptured rat Achilles tendon.
Substance P has a stimulating effect on fibroblast proliferation, collagen organization, and angiogenesis in ruptured and subsequently sutured rat Achilles tendon. This effect is also reflected in the biomechanical properties of the tendon. The aim of this study was to substantiate the effect of exogenous substance P on endogenous substance P, NK-1 receptor, and nerve ingrowth in an in vivo ten...

Cyclooxygenase-dependent alterations in substance P-mediated contractility and tachykinin NK1 receptor expression in the colonic circular muscle of patients with slow transit constipation.
Tachykinins are important neurotransmitters regulating intestinal motility. Slow transit constipation (STC) represents an extreme colonic dysmotility with unknown etiology that predominantly affects women. We examined whether the tachykinin system is involved in the pathogenesis of STC. Isolated sigmoid colon circular muscle from female STC and control patients was studied using functional and ...
