The cell surface metalloprotease neutral endopeptidase (NEP) is the principal proteolytic substance P-degrading enzyme. This study tests the hypothesis that the absence of NEP results in dysregulated inflammatory skin responses. The effector phase of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) responses was examined in NEP\u2212\/\u2212 knockout and NEP+\/+ wild-type mice and compared with the irritant contact dermatitis response in these animals. NEP was found to be normally immunolocalized in epidermal keratinocytes and dermal blood vessels. The ACD ear swelling response was 2.5-fold higher in animals lacking NEP and was accompanied by a significant increase in plasma extravasation and infiltration of inflammatory leukocytes. The augmented ACD response in NEP\u2212\/\u2212 animals was abrogated by either administration of a neurokinin receptor 1 antagonist or by repeated pretreatment with topical capsaicin. Similar to NEP\u2212\/\u2212 mice, the acute inhibition of NEP in NEP+\/+ animals resulted in an augmented ACD response. In contrast to the ACD responses, little differences were observed in the irritant contact dermatitis response of NEP\u2212\/\u2212 compared with NEP+\/+ animals after epicutaneous application of the skin irritants croton oil or SDS. Thus, these results indicate that NEP and cutaneous neuropeptides have a significant role in the pathogenesis of ACD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.166.2.1285","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,20]],"date-time":"2014-04-20T22:56:47Z","timestamp":1398034607000},"page":"1285-1291","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":92,"title":["Neutral Endopeptidase Terminates Substance P-Induced Inflammation in Allergic Contact Dermatitis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"166","author":[{"given":"Thomas E","family":"Scholzen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Cell Biology and Immunobiology of the Skin, Department of Dermatology, University of Mu\u0308nster , Mu\u0308nster ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Steinhoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Surgery and Physiology, University of California San Francisco , San Francisco, CA 34143"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paola","family":"Bonaccorsi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Emory University School of Medicine , Atlanta, GA 30322"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robin","family":"Klein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Emory University School of Medicine , Atlanta, GA 30322"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silvia","family":"Amadesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pharmacology, University of Ferrara , Ferrara ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Piero","family":"Geppetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pharmacology, University of Ferrara , Ferrara ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bao","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ina Sue Perlmutter Laboratory, Children\u2019s Hospital, Departments of Pediatrics and Medicine, Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Norma P","family":"Gerard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ina Sue Perlmutter Laboratory, Children\u2019s Hospital, Departments of Pediatrics and Medicine, Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John E","family":"Olerud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, University of Washington , Seattle, WA 98195"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas A","family":"Luger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Cell Biology and Immunobiology of the Skin, Department of Dermatology, University of Mu\u0308nster , Mu\u0308nster ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nigel W","family":"Bunnett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Surgery and Physiology, University of California San Francisco , San Francisco, CA 34143"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eileen F","family":"Grady","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Surgery and Physiology, University of California San Francisco , San Francisco, CA 34143"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheryl A","family":"Armstrong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Emory University School of Medicine , Atlanta, GA 30322"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John C","family":"Ansel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Emory University School of Medicine , Atlanta, GA 30322"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026020208120403600_R1","first-page":"739","volume-title":"Neuroscience","year":"1988"},{"key":"2026020208120403600_R2","first-page":"3","volume-title":"Neurogenic Inflammation","year":"1996"},{"key":"2026020208120403600_R3","first-page":"163","volume-title":"Br.
