Interleukin-31 in serum and cerebrospinal fluid of dogs with syringomyelia [PDF]
Background Syringomyelia is a spinal cord cavity containing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-like fluid. If syringomyelia asymmetrically involves the dorsal horn grey matter of the spinal cord, affected dogs show increased signs of dysesthesia and neuropathic ...

Interleukin-31: The Inflammatory Cytokine Connecting Pruritus and Cancer
Interleukin 31 (IL-31) is a proinflammatory cytokine, mainly secreted by Type II helper T cells. It signals through a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of IL-31 receptor α and oncostatin-M receptor β chain.

Capsaicin suppresses interleukin-31-induced itching partially involved in inhibiting the expression of dorsal root ganglion interleukin-31 receptor A in male mice [PDF]
To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the antipruritic effect of capsaicin, we investigated how topical application of capsaicin (0.01, 0.1 and 1.0% w/v) affects spontaneous scratching in NC/Nga mice, inerleukin-31 (IL-31) induced in BALB/c mice, and IL-

Transmembrane protein TMEM184B is necessary for interleukin-31-induced itch. [PDF]
Nociceptive and pruriceptive neurons in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) convey sensations of pain and itch to the spinal cord, respectively. One subtype of mature DRG neurons, comprising 6% to 8% of neurons in the ganglia, is responsible for sensing ...

Itch in dermatomyositis: the role of increased skin interleukin-31. [PDF]
Interleukin (IL)‐31 is implicated in pruritus associated with pruritic skin diseases like atopic dermatitis. Although pruritus is a prominent feature in dermatomyositis (DM), few studies have evaluated the pathogenesis of DM‐associated itch.
