LAs are also co-administered with cellular mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapies for a variety of tissue regenerative and inflammatory applications including osteoarthritis (OA) treatment; however, LAs can affect MSC viability and function. Therefore, finding an improved method to co-administer LAs with cells has become critically important. We have developed a sustained release LA delivery model that could enable the co-administration of LAs and MSCs. Encapsulation of liposomes within an alginate matrix leads to sustained release of bupivacaine as compared to bupivacaine-containing liposomes alone.

Its main characteristic is that it displays anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-proliferative biological activities. However, the mechanism by which tannin impacts itch remains unknown. In the present study, through behavioral analysis and calcium imaging, we examined the mechanism by which tannin reduces histaminergic itch and non-histaminergic itch. Methods: First, we confirmed that tannin inhibited itch in the scratching test with histamine, compound 48/80, and SLIGRL-NH2 treatment. Second, we confirmed that tannin inhibited capsaicin- and AITC-induced calcium responses in primary-cultured DRG neurons. Third, tannin blocked the capsaicin- and AITC-induced calcium responses in TRPV1- and TRPA1-expressing HEK293 cells, respectively. Results: These results reveal that tannin reduced histamine-dependent or independent itching by activating inhibitory signals of TRPV1 and TRPA1. Conclusions: Thus, our findings suggest that tannin may be a promising drug for the treatment of histamine or non-histamine-dependent itch. fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco-BRL, USA) and 1% penicillin – streptomycin (Sigma, USA).
