Although sex dimorphism is increasingly recognized as an important factor in pain, female-specific pain signaling is not well-studied. Here we report that administration of IL-23 produces mechanical pain (mechanical allodynia) in female, but not male mice, and chemotherapy-induced mechanical pain is selectively impaired in female mice lacking Il23 or Il23r. IL-23-induced pain is promoted by estrogen but suppressed by androgen, suggesting an involvement of sex hormones. IL-23 requires C-fiber nociceptors and TRPV1 to produce pain but does not directly activate nociceptor neurons. Notably, IL-23 requires IL-17A release from macrophages to evoke mechanical pain in females. Low dose IL-17A directly activates nociceptors and induces mechanical pain only in females. Finally, deletion of estrogen receptor subunit α (ERα) in TRPV1+ nociceptors abolishes IL-23- and IL-17-induced pain in females. These findings demonstrate that the IL-23/IL-17A/TRPV1 axis regulates female-specific mechanical pain via neuro-immune interactions. Our study also reveals sex dimorphism at both immune and neuronal levels. In this issue of Neuron, Luo et al., describe how IL-23, produced by macrophages, regulates mechanical pain in female mice, via IL-17 release, and subsequent activation of IL-17 receptor and TRPV1 in nociceptors, and therefore, offer a mechanistic insight into sex dimorphism in female pain through immune and neuronal regulations.
