Time course of ear swelling in oxazolone-induced contact dermatitis in (a) BALB/c, (b) C57BL/6 and (c) Sv127+C57BL/6 mouse strains. Animals were sensitized on two consecutive days by smearing 2% oxazolone on the shaved abdomen. On the 6th day right ears were smeared with 2% oxazolone dissolved in 96% ethanol (closed circles). Left ears were treated with 96% ethanol in the same way (open squares). Measurements were performed 24, 48 and 72 h after challenge. Comparisons between treated and non-treated animals were made by ANOVA followed by Dunnett's post-test for edema data. Values are shown as % increase of ear thickness compared with ethanol treatment. Means±SEM, n=5–7 per group, *P<0.05 vs. ethanol, **P<0.01 vs. ethanol, ***P<0.001 vs. ethanol treatment.

Effect of depletion or removal of sensory neurogenic components in oxazolone-induced ACD. ACD-induced swelling is shown in RTX-pretreated wild-type (open square) and TRPV1 knockout (closed square) C57/BL6 mice. Measurements were performed 24, 48 and 72 h after challenge. Data were expressed as % change from oxazolone-induced control. n=5–7, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, versus respective control, +P<0.05, ++P<0.001 versus respective control.

Representative light micrographs of ACD. (a) Ethanol-treated control ear in BALB/c mouse, (b) oxazolone-treated ear in BALB/c mouse, (c) oxazolone-treated C57BL/6 wild-type and (d) TRPV1 knockout mouse ear (100×). Accumulated myeloid cells were stained with naphtol AS-D chloroacetate-esterase.

5. Fig. 4
Effects of the chemical and genetic modulation of sensory neurogenic pathway on neutrophil accumulation in ACD induced by oxazolone. Results are shown as MPO content of BALB/c, C57BL/6, C57BL/6+Sv126 mouse ears, after ethanol (white bars), or oxazolone treatment (black bars). Striped columns demonstrate the oxazolone effect on BALB/c or C57BL/6 mice after RTX pretreatment. Measurements were performed 48 h after challenge. Data are expressed in MPO content per ear. Values are means±SEM. n=5.

Local cytokine profile of ear tissue. Samples were collected after 24 h (a,c) and 48 h (b,d) in oxazolone-induced ACD from C57BL/6 wild-type and TRPV1 knockout (a,b) and from BALB/c (c,d) mice. Comparisons between knockout and wild-type mice or RTX-treated and non-treated animals were made by ANOVA followed by Dunnett's post-test for edema data. Values are means±SEM, n=4 per group, *P<0.05 vs. wild-type.

(a) Effect of the pretreatment with an NK1 receptor antagonist SR and genetic depletion of NK1 receptor in oxazolone-induced ACD compared to positive controls; (b) effect of the removal of αCGRP in oxazolone-induced ACD compared to the wild-type controls. Measurements were performed 24, 48 and 72 h after challenge. Values are expressed in % inhibition compared to the respective oxazolone-treated control groups. n=8–10 *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 vs. wild-type animals.

Local cytokine profile of ear tissue. Samples were collected after 24 h (a,c) and 48 h (b,d) in oxazolone-induced ACD from Sv129+C57BL/6 wild-type and NK1 receptor knockout (a,b) or from C57BL/6 wild-type and αCGRP knockout animals (c,d). Comparisons between knockout and wild-type mice were made by ANOVA followed by Dunnett's post-test for edema data. Values are means±SEM, n=4 per group, *P<0,05 vs. wild-type.
