ABSTRACT

Highlights • Topically applied capsaicin suppressed scratching behavior in NC/Nga mice, an animal model of atopic dermatitis, sustained for more than 72 h after application.• Topically applied capsaicin suppressed IL-31-induced scratching behavior in BALB/c mice, sustained for more than 72 h after application.• Topically applied capsaicin suppressed IL-31receptor A mRNA expression in the DRG, sustained for more than 72 h after application.• This is the first report that an inhibitor of IL-31receptorA expression suggests a possible mechanism for atopic dermatitis treatment.
