Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 3. S100A8/A9 facilitates pruritogen- or algogen-evoked scratching and wiping behaviours in mice. (A) S100A8/A9 (1, 10, 100 ng) or vehicle (phosphate-buffered saline; PBS) was intradermally injected into the nape of the neck. Following the injection, scratch bouts were counted over a 30-min period. Error bars are standard error of mean (SEM) n = 6–8. (B, C) S100A8/A9 (1, 10 ng) or vehicle was intradermally injected into the nape of the neck with either histamine (54 nmol: B) or chloroquine (97 nmol: C). Error bars are SEM n = 6–8. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001, significant difference from the vehicle-treated group. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the post hoc Tukey test. F (2, 19)=18.60, p < 0.0001 for histamine. F (2, 15)=6.353, p = 0.01 for chloroquine. (D–I) S100A8/A9 (10 ng) or vehicle was intradermally injected into the cheek with either histamine (54 nmol: D, G), chloroquine (97 nmol: E, H), or capsaicin (33 nmol: F, I). Error bars are SEM n = 5–6. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, significant difference from the vehicle-treated group. Two-tailed unpaired t-test.
Article Snippet: Skin sections were incubated with 5% goat or donkey serum and 0.2% Triton X-100 in PBS, and then immunostained with a primary antibody directed against PGP 9.5 (1:2000; Chemicon (Millipore), Billerica, MA, USA; Cat# AB1761-I, RRID:AB_2868444), to label all epidermal nerve fibres at 4°C overnight, followed by incubation with the corresponding secondary antibody conjugated with AlexaFluor 488 (1:300; Life Technologies Inc., Grand Island, NY, USA) for 2 h. Subsequently, the sections were immunostained with rat Ly6G antibody (1:500; Bio X Cell, Lebanon, NH, USA; Cat# BE0075-1, RRID:AB_1107721), the most commonly used marker for neutrophils at 4°C overnight, followed by incubation with the corresponding secondary antibody conjugated with AlexaFluor 633 (1:300; Life Technologies Inc.) for 2 h. For S100A8 or S100A9 experiments, the sections were incubated with goat S100A9 antibody (1:400; R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA; Cat# AF2065, RRID:AB_2184263) or rat S100A8 antibody (1:50; R&D Systems; Cat# MAB3059, RRID:AB_2184252) followed by goat secondary antibody conjugated with AlexaFluor 555 (1:300; Life Technologies Inc.) or rat secondary antibody conjugated with AlexaFluor 633 (1:300; Life Technologies Inc.) for 2 h, respectively.
