Itch stimuli are detected by specialized primary afferents that convey the signal to the spinal cord, but how itch transmission is regulated is still not completely known. Here, we investigated the roles of the neuropeptide Y (NPY)/Y-2 receptor system on scratch behavior. The inhibitory Y-2 receptor is expressed on mouse primary afferents, and intrathecal administration of the Y-2 agonist peptide YY (PYY)(3-36) reduced scratch episode frequency and duration induced by compound 48/80, an effect that could be reversed by intrathecal preadministration of the Y-2 antagonist BIIE0246. Also, scratch episode duration induced by histamine could be reduced by PYY3-36. In contrast, scratch behavior induced by alpha-methyl-5HT, protease-activated receptor-2-activating peptide SLIGRL, chloroquine, topical dust mite extract, or mechanical itch induced by von Frey filaments was unaffected by stimulation of Y2. Primary afferent neurons expressing the Npy2r gene were found to coexpress itch-associated markers such as natriuretic peptide precursor b, oncostatin M receptor, and interleukin (IL) 31 receptor A. Accordingly, intrathecal PYY3-36 reduced the scratch behavior induced by IL-31. Our findings imply that the NPY/Y-2 system reduces histaminergic and IL-31-associated itch through presynaptic inhibition of a subpopulation of itch-associated primary afferents. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The spinal neuropeptide Y system dampens scratching behavior induced by histaminergic compounds and interleukin 31, a cytokine involved in atopic dermatitis, through interactions with the Y-2 receptor. The Y-2 receptor is expressed by primary afferent neurons that are rich in itch-associated neurotransmitters and receptors such as somatostatin, natriuretic peptide precursor b, and interleukin 31 receptors.
