We examined whether the proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) agonist, H-Ser-Leu-IIe-Gly-Arg-Leu-NiH2 (SLIGRL-NH2), could induce scratching behavior in mice. Intradermal injections of SLIGRL-NH2 (10-50 mu g) evoked dose dependent scratching. This behavior peaked near 5 min and returned to preinjection levels within 30 min. Pretreatment of animals with a histamine H-1 receptor antagonist, pyrilamine, blocked histamine induced scratching, but it had little effect on SLIGRL scratching. Our study suggests that PAR2 mediates histamine independent itch. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
