Among 12 Mrgprs deleted in Mrgpr-cluster\u0394-\/-<\/sup> mice, the expression of MrgprC11 and MrgprA3 are significantly increased in ACD model, which also innervate the skin and spinal cord at higher-than-normal densities, the proportions of dorsal root ganglia neurons responding to bovine adrenal medulla peptide 8-22 and chloroquine are also remarkably increased in ACD model and result in enhancing itch behavior. To study the function of human Mrgprs in ACD-induced itch, we utilize hMrgprX1 transgenic mice, which rescues the severe itch defect of Mrgpr-cluster\u0394-\/-<\/sup> mice in ACD model. Remarkably, pharmacological blockade of hMrgprX1 significantly attenuates ACD itch in hMrgprX1 transgenic mouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusions: <\/strong>Our study provides the first evidence that Mrgprs are involved in ACD induced chronic itch, which provides new avenues for itch management in ACD.
