Cutting Edge: PD-1 Regulates Imiquimod-Induced Psoriasiform Dermatitis through Inhibition of IL-17A Expression by Innate ??-Low T Cells.

ABSTRACT: Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) is a key regulatory molecule that has been targeted in human cancers, including melanoma. In clinical testing, Abs against PD-1 have resulted in psoriasiform dermatitis (PsD). To determine whether PD-1 regulates PsD, we compared skin responses of PD-1-deficient (PD-1KO) mice and wild-type (WT) controls in an imiquimod (IMQ)-induced murine model of psoriasis. PD-1KO mice showed severe epidermal hyperplasia, greater neutrophilic infiltration, and higher expression of Th17 cytokines (versus WT mice). IMQ exposure increased PD-1 expression by skin ??-low (GDL) T cells and enhanced expression of PD-L1 by keratinocytes. Three-fold increases in the percentage of IL-17A(+) GDL T cells were observed in skin cell suspensions derived from IMQ-treated PD-1KO mice (versus WT controls), suggesting that the lack of PD-1 has a functional effect not only on ?? T cells, but also on GDL T cells, and that PD-1 may play a regulatory role in PsD.

Bile Acids Improve Psoriasiform Dermatitis through Inhibition of IL-17A Expression and CCL20-CCR6-Mediated Trafficking of T Cells.

Project description:Bile acids (BAs), produced in the liver and further transformed in the gut, are cholesterol-derived molecules involved in essential physiological processes. Recent studies suggest that BAs regulate T helper 17 cell function, but the underlying mechanism of this action and their therapeutic value in disease models remains unclear. Using an IL-23 minicircle DNA-based murine model of psoriasiform dermatitis, we showed that oral administration of secondary BAs, including lithocholic acid (LCA), deoxycholic acid, and 3-oxoLCA, significantly improved psoriasiform dermatitis without inducing apparent hepatotoxicity. Of the BAs tested, LCA possessed the greatest potency in treating psoriasiform dermatitis. Intravenous administration of LCA at a much lower dosage (compared with oral treatment) showed a comparable antipsoriatic effect and markedly suppressed the IL-17A response. Ex vivo experiments revealed that LCA reduced IL-17A production in IL-23-stimulated murine T cells in the absence of BA receptors TGR5 or FXR. Strikingly, BAs inhibited CCL20 expression in keratinocytes, which led to reduced migration of CCR6-expressing Jurkat cells cultured in the conditioned medium of stimulated keratinocytes. Thus, BAs improve psoriasiform dermatitis with minimal toxicity via direct inhibition of IL-17A production and blockade of CCL20-mediated trafficking, supporting the potential use of BAs in psoriasis.

Short-Term Exposure to a Western Diet Induces Psoriasiform Dermatitis by Promoting Accumulation of IL-17A-Producing γδ T Cells.

Project description:A Western diet (WD)-characterized by its high fat and simple sugar content-is thought to predispose individuals to inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis through the development of obesity. This scenario, however, is being challenged by emerging data suggesting that dietary components, rather than obesity itself, may exacerbate psoriasis. We herein show that short-term feeding with a diet analogous to the WD in mice leads to T helper type 1-/T helper type 17-biased skin inflammation before significant body weight gain. Feeding for as little as 4 weeks with a WD promoted mild dermatitis and accumulation of IL-17A-producing γδ T cells in the skin. Strikingly, γδ T cells from WD-fed mice exhibited enriched IL-23 receptor expression and increased the potential to produce IL-17A after IL-23 stimulation. In contrast to wild-type mice, WD-fed TCRδ-deficient and CCR6-deficient mice had reduced skin inflammation and IL-17A expression. Supplementation with a bile acid sequestrant, cholestyramine, prevented WD-induced skin inflammation along with a reduction in the infiltration of γδ T cells and the expression of proinflammatory mediators. In summary, our data revealed dietary influences in inflammatory signaling in the skin. The dysregulation of IL-23 pathways and bile acid pathways may be key to the development of WD-associated psoriasiform dermatitis.

Cutting Edge: Intestinal IL-17A Receptor Signaling Specifically Regulates High-Fat Diet-Mediated, Microbiota-Driven Metabolic Disorders.

Project description:Previous studies indicate that IL-17A plays an important role in mediating the intestinal microbiota and systemic metabolic functions. However, it is not known where IL-17RA signaling occurs to mediate these effects. To investigate this question, we used intestinal epithelial-specific (Il17ra ΔIEC ) and liver-specific (Il17raΔLiver ) IL-17RA knockout mice as well as littermate control mice. Our results indicate that intestinal IL-17RA signaling helps mediate systemic metabolic functions upon exposure to prolonged high-fat diet. Il17ra ΔIEC mice display impaired glucose metabolism, altered hormone and adipokine levels, increased visceral adiposity, and greater hepatic lipid deposition when compared with their littermate controls. We show that IL-17RA-driven changes in microbiota composition are responsible for regulating systemic glucose metabolism. Altogether, our data elucidate the importance of intestinal IL-17RA signaling in regulating high-fat diet-mediated systemic glucose and lipid metabolism.

IL-1R1 signaling facilitates Munro's microabscess formation in psoriasiform imiquimod-induced skin inflammation.

Project description:Munro's microabscesses contain polymorphonuclear leukocytes and form specifically in the epidermis of psoriasis patients. The mechanism whereby the neutrophils are recruited into the epidermis is poorly understood. Using a combination of human and mouse primary keratinocyte cell cultures and the imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like mouse model of skin inflammation, we explored the role of IL-1 signaling in microabscess formation. In vitro imiquimod stimulated production of IL-1α and neutrophil recruiting chemokines. Imiquimod-activated chemokine expression was dependent upon adenosine signaling and independent of IL-1α and IL-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1); nevertheless, IL-1α could enhance chemokine expression initiated by imiquimod. Topical application of imiquimod in vivo led to epidermal microabscess formation, acanthosis, and increased IL-1α and chemokine expression in the skin of wild-type mice. However, in IL-1R1-deficient mice these responses were either absent or dramatically reduced. These results demonstrate that IL-1α and IL-1R1 signaling is essential for microabscess formation, neutrophil recruiting chemokine expression, and acanthosis in psoriasis-like skin inflammation induced by imiquimod.

Cutting Edge: Plasmodium falciparum Induces Trained Innate Immunity.

Project description:Malarial infection in naive individuals induces a robust innate immune response. In the recently described model of innate immune memory, an initial stimulus primes the innate immune system to either hyperrespond (termed training) or hyporespond (tolerance) to subsequent immune challenge. Previous work in both mice and humans demonstrated that infection with malaria can both serve as a priming stimulus and promote tolerance to subsequent infection. In this study, we demonstrate that initial stimulation with Plasmodium falciparum-infected RBCs or the malaria crystal hemozoin induced human adherent PBMCs to hyperrespond to subsequent ligation of TLR2. This hyperresponsiveness correlated with increased H3K4me3 at important immunometabolic promoters, and these epigenetic modifications were also seen in Kenyan children naturally infected with malaria. However, the use of epigenetic and metabolic inhibitors indicated that the induction of trained immunity by malaria and its ligands may occur via a previously unrecognized mechanism(s).

Diet-induced obesity exacerbates imiquimod-mediated psoriasiform dermatitis in anti-PD-1 antibody-treated mice: Implications for patients being treated with checkpoint inhibitors for cancer.

Project description:BackgroundAn ever-increasing number of cancer patients are being treated with checkpoint inhibitors such as anti-PD-1 antibodies, and a small percentage of these patients develop a psoriasis-like skin eruption or severe flares of prior psoriasis.ObjectiveWe investigated the role of obesity in immune checkpoint inhibitors-exacerbated psoriasiform eruption.MethodsWe fed female C57BL/6 mice a so-called Western diet (WD) or a control diet (CD). Imiquimod (IMQ) was applied topically on ears for 5 consecutive days to induce psoriasiform dermatitis (PsD). Psoriasis-related markers were examined by quantitative real-time PCR. Then we induced PsD in WD- and CD-fed mice in the presence or absence of systemic treatment of anti-PD-1 antibodies to examine if obese mice are more susceptible to anti-PD-1 related PsD than lean mice.ResultsWD-fed mice showed higher baseline mRNA expression levels of psoriasis-associated cytokines such as IL-17, S100A8, and S100A9 compared to mice fed with CD. Furthermore, WD-fed mice had more γδ low (GDL) T cells in the whole skin and higher expression of PD-1 on GDL T cells than CD-fed mice. WD-fed mice receiving anti-PD-1 had more prominent ear swelling than lean mice receiving anti-PD-1 during the 5-day IMQ course (2-fold increase, P < 0.0001 on day 5).ConclusionWD-induced obesity enhances IMQ-induced psoriasiform inflammation. The finding that WD-fed mice have a more dramatic response to anti-PD-1 than lean mice in terms of IMQ-induced ear swelling suggests that obesity could be a risk factor in the development of psoriasiform eruption during anti-PD-1 therapy.

CXCR4 negatively regulates keratinocyte proliferation in IL-23-mediated psoriasiform dermatitis.

Project description:CXCR4 is expressed by basal keratinocytes (KCs), but little is known about its function in inflamed skin. We crossed K14-Cre and CXCR4(flox/flox (f/f)) transgenic mice, resulting in mice with specific loss of the CXCR4 gene in K14-expressing cells (K14-CXCR4KO), including basal KCs. K14-CXCR4KO pups had no obvious skin defects. We compared K14-CXCR4KO and CXCR4(f/f) control mice in an IL-23-mediated psoriasiform dermatitis model and measured skin edema, and histologic and immunohistological changes. IL-23-treated K14-CXCR4KO mice showed a 1.3-fold increase in mean ear swelling, a 2-fold increase in epidermal thickness, and greater parakeratosis. IL-23-treated wild-type (WT) mice showed weak CXCR4 expression in areas of severe epidermal hyperplasia, but strong CXCR4 expression in nonhyperplastic regions, suggesting that CXCR4 may regulate KC proliferation. To test this hypothesis, we overexpressed CXCR4 in HaCaT KC cells and treated them with IL-22 and/or CXCL12 (chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12). CXCL12 blocked IL-22-mediated HaCaT cell proliferation in vitro and synergized with IL-22 in upregulating SOCS3 (suppressor of cytokine signaling 3), a key regulator of STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3). SOCS3 was required for CXCR4-mediated growth inhibition. In human psoriatic skin, both CXCR4 and SOCS3 were upregulated in the junctional region at the border of psoriatic plaques. Thus, CXCR4 has an unexpected role in inhibiting KC proliferation and mitigating the effects of proliferative T helper type 17 cytokines.

Psoriasiform dermatitis is driven by IL-36-mediated DC-keratinocyte crosstalk.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the skin affecting approximately 2% of the world's population. Accumulating evidence has revealed that the IL-23/IL-17/IL-22 pathway is key for development of skin immunopathology. However, the role of keratinocytes and their crosstalk with immune cells at the onset of disease remains poorly understood. Here, we show that IL-36R-deficient (Il36r-/-) mice were protected from imiquimod-induced expansion of dermal IL-17-producing γδ T cells and psoriasiform dermatitis. Furthermore, IL-36R antagonist-deficient (Il36rn-/-) mice showed exacerbated pathology. TLR7 ligation on DCs induced IL-36-mediated crosstalk with keratinocytes and dermal mesenchymal cells that was crucial for control of the pathological IL-23/IL-17/IL-22 axis and disease development. Notably, mice lacking IL-23, IL-17, or IL-22 were less well protected from disease compared with Il36r-/- mice, indicating an additional distinct activity of IL-36 beyond induction of the pathological IL-23 axis. Moreover, while the absence of IL-1R1 prevented neutrophil infiltration, it did not protect from acanthosis and hyperkeratosis, demonstrating that neutrophils are dispensable for disease manifestation. These results highlight a central and unique IL-1-independent role for IL-36 in control of the IL-23/IL-17/IL-22 pathway and development of psoriasiform dermatitis.

Topical Treatment of Colquhounia Root Relieves Skin Inflammation and Itch in Imiquimod-Induced Psoriasiform Dermatitis in Mice.

Project description:Itch is one of the major clinical manifestations of psoriasis, which is closely related with neurogenic inflammation and difficult to control. Colquhounia Root (CR) is a Chinese herb exhibiting broad bioactivities on anti-inflammation. This study was designed to explore the antipsoriatic and anti-itch potential of CR and its underlying mechanisms. Mice in a model of imiquimod-induced psoriasiform dermatitis were treated topically with CR for 7 days, and the severity of skin lesions and itch was significantly ameliorated. CR reduced the inflammatory cell infiltration, as well as mast cells in skins. Particularly, the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokine including Il17a, Il22, and Ccl20 and itch-related molecules such as SP, CGRP, and NGF in lesions were decreased in diseased mice upon application with CR. The normal human epidermal keratinocytes were stimulated with the M5 cytokine cocktail, the mixture of IL-17A, IL-22, Oncostatin M, IL-1α, and TNF-α, and cell viability and mRNA expression levels of inflammatory factors and itch-related molecules were measured after being treated with CR. We found that CR inhibited both cell hyperproliferation and overexpression of inflammatory cytokines and itch-related molecules in vitro. Altogether, we conclude that CR relieves psoriatic lesions and itch via controlling immunological and neurogenic inflammation.
