Itch and nerve fibers with special reference to atopic dermatitis: Therapeutic implications

Tominaga, Mitsutoshi, Takamori, Kenji·2014·The Journal of Dermatology

Abstract

Nerve density in the epidermis is partly involved in itch sensitization in pruritic skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD). Epidermal innervation is thought to be regulated by the balance between nerve elongation factors (e.g. nerve growth factor) and nerve repulsion factors (e.g. semaphorin 3 A). Semaphorin 3 A (S ema3 A) has been shown to inhibit nerve growth factor (NGF)‐induced sprouting of sensory nerves, and epidermal S ema3 A levels are lower in AD patients, concomitant with an increase in epidermal nerve density. In addition, treatment with anti‐NGF, S ema3 A replacement, and several existing treatments, such as ultraviolet‐based therapies, normalized the hyperinnervation in AD, resulting in suppression of itching. This review expands knowledge regarding potential therapeutic strategies for ameliorating intractable pruritus in AD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
