ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Scabies is a common contagious skin disease caused by an infestation of the skin by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. A hallmark symptom of scabies is severe itch.METHODS:
We sought to determine the generation of a pruritogenic cytokine, interleukin (IL)-31, together with immune profiles in skin lesions of ordinary scabies through immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent studies. To elucidate the pathological mechanisms of IL-31 generation, murine peritoneal macrophages were stimulated with various T helper 2 (Th2) cytokines and proteins ex vivo.RESULTS:
A large number of CCR4(+) Th2 cells, eosinophils, and basophils infiltrated in scabies lesions. Increased generation of IL-31, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and periostin was also observed. A major population of IL-31(+) cells were Arginase-1(+)/CD163(+) M2 macrophages. Murine peritoneal macrophages showed an M2 phenotype and generated IL-31 when stimulated with TSLP and periostin.CONCLUSION:
IL-31 appeared to be largely generated by M2 macrophages in ordinary scabies lesions. This IL-31 induction was mediated by TSLP and periostin.Palabras clave
