Abstract:
A method for inducing itch and a method for screening an itch inhibiting material using glucosylsphingosine are provided to be useful for studying and understanding the itch, thereby being very usefully used for developing a therapeutic agent for the itch and evaluating the effect of a medicine. A method for inducing itch comprises a step of administering at least one compound selected from the group consisting of glucosylsphingosine and a derivative thereof into an animal except human. A method for screening an itch inhibiting material comprises the steps of: (a) administering an itch inhibition candidate material to an animal where the itch is induced by administering at least one compound selected from the group consisting of the glucosylsphingosine and the derivative thereof; and (b) counting a number when the animal scratches. A method for evaluating the itch inhibition effect comprises the steps of: (a) administering an itch inhibition material to an animal where the itch is induced by administering at least one compound selected from the group consisting of the glucosylsphingosine and the derivative thereof; and (b) counting a number when the animal scratches. A composition for inducing itch comprises at least one compound selected from the group consisting of the glucosylsphingosine and the derivative thereof as an effective ingredient.
Abstract:
A method for inhibiting the expression of CCL27/CTACK(Cutaneous T-cell-attracting chemokine) is provided to regulate SPC(sphingosylphosphorylcholine) inducing expression of CCL27/CTACK, so that the method is useful for prevention and treatment of diseases associated with overexpression of CCL27/CTACK including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and inflammatory skin disease. The expression of CCL27/CTACK is inhibited by administering an effective amount of sphingosylphosphorylcholine regulator capable of inhibiting activity of SPC or competing with the mechanism of SPC inducing overexpression of CCL27/CTACK to a mammal requiring the expression reduction of CCL27/CTACK. A method for screening the SPC regulator comprises the steps of: (1) treating a testing cell such as keratinocyte with 2-10 muM of SPC or its derivatives to induce overexpression of CCL27/CTACK; and (2) treating the overexpression of CCL27/CTACK-induced cell with a candidate material and measuring the expression inhibition of CCL27/CTACK. Further, the mammal has an atopic dermatitis or psoriasis.
Abstract:
A composition comprising extracts of crude drugs is provided to suppress and relieve itching caused by inflammatory and atopic dermatitis without side effects such as toxicity and skin irritation. A composition for suppressing and relieving itching comprises 0.1-10 wt.% of the extracts of Zingiber officinale Rosc., Evodia officinalis and Alpinia katsumadai Hayata which are prepared by extracting them with water, C1-C4 lower alcohol or a mixed solvent thereof. The daily dosage of crude drug extracts is 0.001-100 mg/kg, preferably 0.1-30 mg/kg and the composition is a pharmaceutical composition having a formulation selected from ointment, plaster, lotion and liniment, or a cosmetic composition having a formulation selected from skin lotion, skin softener, skin toner, astringent, lotion, milk lotion, moisture lotion, nutrition lotion, massage cream, nutrition cream, moisture cream, hand cream, foundation, essence, nutrition essence, pack, soap, cleansing foam, cleansing lotion, cleansing cream, body lotion and body cleanser.

Abstract:
A sphingosylphosphorylcholine(SPC) antagonist is provided to prevent and treat diseases related to the expression decrease of anti-bacterial peptide such as atopic dermatitis, and screen the SPC antagonist by analyzing the expression recover of gene or protein of the anti-bacterial peptide. The sphingosylphosphorylcholine(SPC) antagonist manufactures the medicine for restoring the expression of anti-bacterial peptide back to the normal level in mammal requiring the expression restoration of anti-bacterial peptide. The screening method of the sphingosylphosphorylcholine(SPC) antagonist comprises the steps of: treating the object with sphingosylphosphorylcholine or its derivative to inhibit expression of anti-bacterial peptide; and treating the object with the SPC antagonist candidate material, and analyzing the expression restoration level of the anti-bacterial peptide in the object.
