SLC35E1 promotes keratinocyte proliferation in psoriasis by regulating zinc homeostasis.

ABSTRACT: Keratinocyte hyperproliferation is a key pathogenic factor in psoriasis. However, the mechanisms that regulate keratinocyte hyperproliferation in this condition remain unclear. Here, we found that SLC35E1 was highly expressed in keratinocytes of patients with psoriasis and that Slc35e1^-/- mice displayed a less severe imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like phenotype than their wild-type siblings. In addition, SLC35E1 deficiency inhibited keratinocyte proliferation in both mice and cultured cells. On a molecular level, SLC35E1 was found to regulate zinc ion concentrations and subcellular localization, while zinc ion chelation reversed the IMQ-induced psoriatic phenotype in Slc35e1^-/- mice. Meanwhile, epidermal zinc ion levels were decreased in patients with psoriasis and zinc ion supplementation alleviated the psoriatic phenotype in an IMQ-induced mouse model of psoriasis. Our results indicated that SLC35E1 can promote keratinocyte proliferation by regulating zinc ion homeostasis and zinc ion supplementation has potential as a therapy for psoriasis.

Project description:BackgroundPsoriasis is a prevalent, long-term skin condition characterized by inflammation. Keratinocytes (KCs) are important effector cells that release inflammatory factors and chemokines to promote the inflammatory cascade in psoriasis. However, the mechanisms underlying the activation of KCs in psoriasis remain unclear. Livin suppresses apoptotic proteins and directly affects the growth and spread of cancer cells. Livin expression reportedly increases significantly in lesions of patients with psoriasis; however, its specific role in KC activation remains unknown. This study aimed to examine the impact of Livin on KC activation and the subsequent release of inflammatory mediators.MethodsImmunofluorescence staining, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and western blotting were used to assess Livin expression in patients with psoriasis, an imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like mouse model, and M5-treated HaCaT cells. To investigate the role of Livin in KCs, we performed RNA sequencing and proteomic analysis of Livin-knockdown (knockdown-HaCaT) and negative control (NC-HaCaT) cells. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes were used for enrichment analyses. Moreover, the effect of Livin expression on the release of inflammatory mediators in KCs was verified using ELISA.ResultsLivin expression was higher in KCs of patients with psoriasis than in those healthy controls. Livin expression in HaCaT cells treated with M5 increased significantly over time. Livin expression was higher in the skin lesions of the IMQ mouse model than in the control group. Proteomic analysis and RNA sequencing used to investigate the function of Livin in HaCaT cells revealed its potential role in mediating KC activation and inflammatory mediator release, which affected the pathology of psoriasis.ConclusionsLivin expression played an effect on KCs activation, which induced release of inflammatory mediators and up-regulation of keratin. This study provides a new effector molecule for the mechanism of inflammatory response in psoriasis.
