Abstract: The present disclosure provides the use of an adenosine A2B receptor as a target in drugs for prevention and/or treatment of pruritus and belongs to the technical field of biological pharmaceuticals. Expression of genes encoding major ligand-gated ion channels is detected based on previously reported single-cell RNA sequencing data of mouse dorsal root ganglions (DRGs), and Adora2b is detected to be highly expressed in Neuron_10, suggesting that Adora2b and Adora2b receptor (the adenosine A2B receptor) may be involved in pruritus regulation. Experimental results show that histamine-induced mouse scratching behavior can be effectively prevented by blocking adenosine A2B receptor activity, indicating that the adenosine A2B receptor is involved in histamine-induced pruritus.

Abstract: An approach is provided for securing a secret for usage by an application utilizing a client to retrieve secrets. A request is sent from a client in a workload container within a trusted execution environment (TEE) to retrieve an encrypted secret from an application programming interface (API) server outside the TEE. The request is hooked and sent to the API server by a proxy or a secret proxy plugin within the TEE. The secret is received from the API server by the proxy or secret proxy plugin. An agent within the TEE is called to request a private key. The agent obtains the private key. The secret is decrypted by using the private key. The decrypted secret is returned to the client by the proxy or secret proxy plugin, which ensures that a plain text version of sensitive information in the decrypted secret is not accessible outside the TEE.
