| Research Abstract |
In this study, we tested our hypothesis that mast cells might produce an pruritic sytokine IL-31 and play a role in prutitus in atopic dermatitis. We found that anti-microbial peptides induced IL-31 production from human mast cells and IL-31 expression was detected in mast cells in skin lesions of a mouse model of atopic dermatitis. Collectively, these results suggest that mast cell-derived IL-31 may play a role in pruritus in atopic dermatitis.
