BackgroundT helper type 2 cell-released interleukin 31 (IL-31) is a critical mediator in atopic dermatitis (AD), a prevalent and debilitating chronic skin disorder. Brain-derived natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been described as a central itch mediator. The importance of BNP in peripheral (skin-derived) itch and its functional link to IL-31 within the neuro-immune axis of the skin is unknown.ObjectiveTo investigate the function of BNP in the peripheral sensory system and skin in IL-31-induced itch and neuro-epidermal communication in AD.MethodsCa2+-imaging, immunohistochemistry, quantitative real-time PCR, RNA-Seq, knockdown, cytokine/phosphor-kinase arrays, enzyme immune assay and pharmacological inhibition were subjected to examine the cellular basis of the IL-31-stimulated, BNP-related itch signaling in human DRG neurons (hDRG) and skin cells, transgenic AD-like mouse models, and human skin of AD and healthy subjects.ResultsIn hDRG, we confirmed expression and co-occurrence of OSMRβ and IL-31 receptor A in a small subset of neuronal population. Furthermore, IL-31 activated ∼50% of endothelin-1-responsive neurons, and half of the latter also responded to histamine. In murine DRGs IL-31 upregulated Nppb and induced SNARE-dependent BNP release. In the Grhl3PAR2/+mice, house dust mite-induced severe AD-like dermatitis was associated with Nppb upregulation. Lesional IL-31Tg mice also exhibited increased Nppb transcripts in DRGs and skin; accordingly, skin BNP receptor was elevated. Importantly, expression of BNP and its receptor were increased in AD patient skin. In human skin cells, BNP stimulated a pro-inflammatory, itch-promoting phenotype.ConclusionOur findings show, for the first time, that BNP is implicated in AD and that IL-31 regulates BNP in both DRGs and skin. IL-31 enhances BNP release and synthesis, and orchestrates cytokine and chemokine release from skin cells, thereby coordinating the signaling pathways involved in itch. Inhibiting peripheral BNP function may be a novel therapeutic strategy for AD and pruritic conditions.
