Definitions
- the present invention relates to a use of sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) or derivatives thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process to induce an itch in an animal by administering sphingosylphosphorylcholine; a process to screen an anti-itching substance; and a process to evaluate the anti-itching effect of the screened substance. Sphingosylphosphorylcholine or derivatives thereof according to the present invention are useful for studying an itch, screening anti-itching drugs and evaluating the efficacy of a screened drug.
- itch is being considered as the most concerning factor which lowers the quality of patient's life.
- atopic dermatitis it was found that patients suffering from severe atopic dermatitis spend about 15% of their sleeping time in scratching (Br. J. Dermatol. 2001; 144: 305 ⁇ ). Therefore, extensive studies have been made to identify endogenous substances that induce an itch in many skin diseases, and many pruritogens have been developed. However, the relationship between the disease and the pruritogen is still unclear, and a new animal model relating to new pruritogens is highly required.
- rodents In animal studies of itch, rodents are commonly used for the ease of execution and control of the experiments. It was found by Japanese researchers that rodents show peculiar behavior such as hind paw scratching of the pruritogen-injected site, which is not usually observed in normal condition (Br. J. Dermatol. 2004; 33-8). It was also found that intradermal injection, which is an injection between epidermis and dermis, is the most effective method, because the pruritogen could be localized at the injected site. This prevents the injected pruritogens from being spread to the whole body (Eur. J. Dermatol. 1995; 275: 229-23).
- Suggested pruritogens conventionally used in the above prior art include kallikrein, compound 48/80, serotonin, histamine, substance P (WO 2004/027413, JP2004- 132794, JP2003-313138) and corrosive organic solvents (JP2001 -321016).
- corrosive solvents their mechanism of action is unclear and considered to be very different from that of endogenous prutigotens.
- histamine, serotonin and substance P are endogenous, and are more preferable than non-biological external substances in terms of toxicity, biocompatibility or similarity to clinical itch.
- to induce an itch they need to be administered at high doses of 100 nmole /site, thus there is a problem in relation to clinical application.
- Lysosphingolipids are the structures of sphingolipids in which a fatty acid moiety is absent.
- Sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) is an N-deacylated form of sphingomyelin (SM). It is structurally similar to sphingosine-1 -phosphate, but is characterized by the structure in which choline is bonded to phosphate, and its molecular weight is 465.6.
- Lysophosphatidic aicd which is a similar lipid substance to SPC, is a hydrophilic phospholipid and is involved in proliferation, differentiation, survival and movement of various cells (TRENDS in Biochemical Sciences. 2003: 28: 377-83).
- sphingosylphosphorylcholine induced release of Ca + from endoplasmic reticulum in various cells, inhibits or promotes cell growth or cell proliferation, and is deeply involved in cell death.
- it plays various roles in various cells by regulating the reconstruction of the cell skeleton and the cell migration. For example, it shows a wound healing effect in fibroblast present in skin, and induces inflammation, Keratinocytes differentiation and melanin formation in melanocytes. Especially, it acts as a strong cell segmentation stimulator in Swiss 3T3 fibroblast.
- sphingosyphosphorylcholine activates mitogen-associated protein kinase (MAP kinase) via several G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) and protein kinase C (PKC), and thereby it promotes cell proliferation and cell differentiation.
- GPCR G-protein coupled receptors
- PKC protein kinase C
- sphingosylphosphorylcholine takes on an aspect of substantial increase in the skin of patients suffering from atopic dermatitis (AD) (Journal of Lipid research, 2003: 44: 93-102). This could be confirmed by the fact that the activity of sphingomyelin deacylase is increased in or around the damaged site of the skin of AD patients (Biochem. J. 2000; 350: 747-756).
- sphingosylphosphorylcholine which is endogenous, can induce sufficient itch at an extremely low concentration (100 ⁇ M), which is 1/200 times smaller amount than the required amount of histamine, serotonin, or substance P (2mM), and thereby completed the present invention.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a composition comprising sphingosylphosphorylcholine or derivatives thereof, a process for inducing an itch using the composition, a process for screening an anti-itching substance and a process for evaluating the effect of the screened anti-itching substance.
- Sphingosylphosphorylcholine or derivatives thereof effectively induce an itch, and can be used in an experiment for evaluating the anti-itching effect.

- Figure 2 is a graph showing the effect of sphingosylphosphorylcholine inducing an itch according to the dose.
- Figure 3 is a graph showing the effect of capsaicin, azelastine and cyproheptadine for inhibiting an itch induced by sphingosylphosphorylcholine.

- mice After administration, animals were moved to the observatory case, and videotaped for 40 minutes. After recording and when the experiment was terminated, the animals were moved to the raising cage. After 24 hours, they were examined to determine if pathological symptom was found in the injection site and then all were sacrificed. If any pathological symptom such as edema or hematoma was found, the experimentation results were invalidated. The recorded images were observed by two or more people simultaneously.
- This determination method was established to develop a novel substance that can inhibit the effect of sphingosylphosphorylcholine on the induction of an itch and other causes of disease.
- the cell proliferation of SPC was induced using NIH 3T3 cell line; thereby the optimum concentration was obtained.

- substances #1, #4, #6, #7 and #8 show the best effect (When testing the group in which sphingosylphosphorylcholine was solely injected and the groups in which both sphingosylphosphorylcholine and the novel substance were injected together with Student's t-test, the p value was less than 0.05, which means the significant difference).
- substances which are proposed to have an anti-an itch effect can be primarily screened.
- new proposed drugs can be rapidly screened.
- substance #6 was applied to the animal model in which an itch was induced by SPC.
- Substance #6 was dissolved in saline solutions, and one of 1 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg of the solution was administrated orally to each ICR mouse. After 1 hour, SPC was intradermally injected (50 mmole/site). After injection, the scratching behavior of the mice was observed for 30 minutes. The results are shown in Fig. 7.
