Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The predominant symptom of AD is pruritus. It has a strong impact on the lives of patients both physically, psychologically and socially, which causes stress and sleep disorders. Because of this pruritus, sleep disturbances but also the displaying character of the disease, the quality of life of patients and their families is very often altered.
The pathophysiology of this chronic pathology and associated pruritus is complex and incompletely understood and current treatments are unfortunately only symptomatic.
Many receptors (TRPA1, TRPV1, PAR2 ...), molecules (neuromediators, neuropeptides, histamine ...) and secreted cytokines (IL-2, -4, -13 and -31, TSLP) are involved in the induction and mediation of chronic pruritus. Their role in pruritus associated with AD begins to be understood. Among them, the TRPM 8 has a particular interest. Indeed, this receptor belongs to the superfamily of the "potential transient receptor (TRP)" whose members are known to play a major role in sensory perceptions, including the perception of pruritus. TRPM8 is a thermoreceptor, activated by cold (T \<28 ° C) or compounds such as menthol or derivatives, or eucalyptus and the beneficial action of menthol in the soothing of pruritus makes the TRPM8 receptor an attractive therapeutic target for treatment of pruritus in AD. Its role has never been studied in this context.
This project aims to study the role of TRPM8 in the pathophysiology of pruritus in AD in an in vitro model. Biopsies of atopic dermatitis patients (2/patient in pruritic skin lesion) will be put in culture and submit to topical application of menthoxypropanediol. The effect of this molecule on receptors involved in pruritus pathway will be assay (immunohistochemistry, QPCR).

Study Groups

Control
Two biopsies of skin (4 mm diameter each) will be taken under local anesthetic in the service of dermatology of Brest CHRU. They will be situated in a pruritic lesion area little or not visible (inside of the arm, the back …).One of two biopsies will be left in culture for 24 hours and then the biopsy will be cut in half: half will be used for immunohistochemical analyzes, the second half for transcriptomic analyzes .
No adding menthoxypropanediol to the biopsy

Treatment with menthoxypropanediol
Two biopsies of skin (4 mm diameter each) will be taken under local anesthetic in the service of dermatology of Brest CHRU. Thy will be situated in a pruritic lesion area little or not visible (inside of the arm, the back …).One of two biopsies will be left in culture for 24 hours. Then the menthoxypropanediol (200 µM) will be applied topically on this explant and left for 6 hours. Then the biopsy will be cut in half: half will be used for immunohistochemical analyzes, the second half for transcriptomic analyzes.
