Interleukin-17A and Keratinocytes in Psoriasis.

ABSTRACT: The excellent clinical efficacy of anti-interleukin 17A (IL-17A) biologics on psoriasis indicates a crucial pathogenic role of IL-17A in this autoinflammatory skin disease. IL-17A accelerates the proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes. Keratinocytes produce a myriad of antimicrobial peptides and chemokines, such as CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL8, and CCL20. Antimicrobial peptides enhance skin inflammation. IL-17A is capable of upregulating the production of these chemokines and antimicrobial peptides in keratinocytes. CXCL1, CXCL2, and CXCL8 recruit neutrophils and CCL20 chemoattracts IL-17A-producing CCR6+ immune cells, which further contributes to forming an IL-17A-rich milieu. This feed-forward pathogenic process results in characteristic histopathological features, such as epidermal hyperproliferation, intraepidermal neutrophilic microabscess, and dermal CCR6+ cell infiltration. In this review, we focus on IL-17A and keratinocyte interaction regarding psoriasis pathogenesis.

Interleukin-17A-induced production of acute serum amyloid A by keratinocytes contributes to psoriasis pathogenesis.

Project description:Acute-serum Amyloid A (A-SAA), one of the major acute-phase proteins, is mainly produced in the liver but extra-hepatic synthesis involving the skin has been reported. Its expression is regulated by the transcription factors NF-κB, C/EBPβ, STAT3 activated by proinflammatory cytokines.We investigated A-SAA synthesis by resting and cytokine-activated Normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes (NHEK), and their inflammatory response to A-SAA stimulation. A-SAA expression was also studied in mouse skin and liver in a model mimicking psoriasis and in the skin and sera of psoriatic and atopic dermatitis (AD) patients.NHEK were stimulated by A-SAA or the cytokines IL-1α, IL-17A, IL-22, OSM, TNF-α alone or in combination, previously reported to reproduce features of psoriasis. Murine skins were treated by imiquimod cream. Human skins and sera were obtained from patients with psoriasis and AD. A-SAA mRNA was quantified by RT qPCR. A-SAA proteins were dosed by ELISA or immunonephelemetry assay.IL-1α, TNF-α and mainly IL-17A induced A-SAA expression by NHEK. A-SAA induced its own production and the synthesis of hBD2 and CCL20, both ligands for CCR6, a chemokine receptor involved in the trafficking of Th17 lymphocytes. A-SAA expression was increased in skins and livers from imiquimod-treated mice and in patient skins with psoriasis, but not significantly in those with AD. Correlations between A-SAA and psoriasis severity and duration were observed.Keratinocytes could contribute to psoriasis pathogenesis via A-SAA production, maintaining a cutaneous inflammatory environment, activating innate immunity and Th17 lymphocyte recruitment.

Association of genetic polymorphism of interleukin-17A & interleukin-17F with susceptibility of psoriasis.

Project description:Background & objectives:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with unknown aetiology. So far studies have confirmed that interleukins, pro-inflammatory factors and T-cell activation play major role in the development of disease. Interleukin-17 (IL-17) a T helper inflammatory cytokine, was found to be positively correlated with severity of psoriasis. However, the specific mechanism has not been clarified. IL-17A and IL-17F are group members of IL17 family cytokines and found to be located adjacent to one another on the same human chromosome, 6p12. The present study was designed to identify the association between IL-17A and IL-17F gene polymorphism with susceptibility of psoriasis in north Indian population. Methods:A total of 166 psoriasis patients and 150 healthy controls were genotyped for IL-17A and IL-17F gene polymorphism by amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction method. One single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was analysed in IL-17A (rs10484879) and one SNP in IL-17F (rs763780) to look for an association with psoriasis. Results:Our study indicated decreased frequency of IL-17A (rs10484879) G allele (51.8 vs. 65.0%), and IL-17F (rs763780) C allele (36.5 vs. 45.7%) in psoriatic patients as compared to healthy controls. Interpretation & conclusions:The present findings suggest that IL-17A (rs10484879) G/T and IL-17F (rs763780) C/T gene polymorphisms may contribute in pathogenesis of psoriasis. Further studies need to be done to confirm these findings.

miR-378a regulates keratinocyte responsiveness to interleukin-17A in psoriasis.

Project description:BackgroundPsoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease, in which an interplay between infiltrating immune cells and keratinocytes sustains chronic skin inflammation. Interleukin (IL)-17A is a key inflammatory cytokine in psoriasis and its main cellular targets are keratinocytes.ObjectivesTo explore the role of miR-378a in psoriasis.MethodsKeratinocytes obtained from psoriatic skin and healthy epidermis were separated by magnetic sorting, and the expression of miR-378a was analysed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The regulation and function of miR-378a was studied using primary human keratinocytes. The expression of miR-378a was modulated by synthetic mimics, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activity and transcriptomic changes were studied. Synthetic miR-378a was delivered to mouse skin in conjunction with induction of psoriasiform skin inflammation by imiquimod.ResultsWe show that miR-378a is induced by IL-17A in keratinocytes through NF-κB, C/EBP-β and IκBζ and that it is overexpressed in psoriatic epidermis. In cultured keratinocytes, ectopic expression of miR-378a resulted in the nuclear translocation of p65 and enhanced NF-κB-driven promoter activity even in the absence of inflammatory stimuli. Moreover, miR-378a potentiated the effect of IL-17A on NF-κB nuclear translocation and downstream activation of the NF-κB pathway. Finally, injection of miR-378a into mouse skin augmented psoriasis-like skin inflammation with increased epidermal proliferation and induction of inflammatory mediators. Mechanistically, miR-378a acts as a suppressor of NFKBIA/IκBζ, an important negative regulator of the NF-κB pathway in keratinocytes.ConclusionsCollectively, our findings identify miR-378a as an amplifier of IL-17A-induced NF-κB signalling in keratinocytes and suggest that increased miR-378a levels contribute to the amplification of IL-17A-driven skin inflammation in psoriasis.

FXYD3 enhances IL-17A signaling to promote psoriasis by competitively binding TRAF3 in keratinocytes.

Project description:Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration and epidermal hyperplasia. However, the regulatory complexity of cytokine and cellular networks still needs to be investigated. Here, we show that the expression of FXYD3, a member of the FXYD domain-containing regulators of Na+/K+ ATPases family, is significantly increased in the lesional skin of psoriasis patients and mice with imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis. IL-17A, a cytokine important for the development of psoriatic lesions, contributes to FXYD3 expression in human primary keratinocytes. FXYD3 deletion in keratinocytes attenuated the psoriasis-like phenotype and inflammation in an IMQ-induced psoriasis model. Importantly, FXYD3 promotes the formation of the IL-17R-ACT1 complex by competing with IL-17R for binding to TRAF3 and then enhances IL-17A signaling in keratinocytes. This promotes the activation of the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways and leads to the expression of proinflammatory factors. Our results clarify the mechanism by which FXYD3 serves as a mediator of IL-17A signaling in keratinocytes to form a positive regulatory loop to promote psoriasis exacerbation. Targeting FXYD3 may serve as a potential therapeutic approach in the treatment of psoriasis.

Application of imiquimod-induced murine psoriasis model in evaluating interleukin-17A antagonist.

Project description:BackgroundInterleukin-17A (IL17A) is a proinflammatory cytokine critically involved in autoimmune diseases, and monoclonal antibodies of IL17A have been approved for clinical treatment of psoriasis. However, a usable psoriatic animal model has been always required for preclinical evaluation of IL17A antagonists. Imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis model is widely used in fundamental research, but it's not able to accurately show anti-psoriatic effect of IL17A antagonists with conventional modelling condition.ResultsOn female C57BL/6 mice, with optimization on the usage of IMQ, positive control reagent and anti-mIL17A antibody, a 7-day model with proper testing window, acceptable disease severity as well as high repeatability was developed, and the efficacy of IL17A antagonist can be objectively evaluated by several qualitative and quantitative indices. Meanwhile, we validated the detailed involvement of IL17A signaling in disease progression, confirmed that the expression levels of IL17A and its related cytokines were induced by IMQ application, and its downstream cytokines can be inhibited by IL17A antagonist treatment. In further study, we revealed that IL17A was transient induced by IMQ and directly caused downstream signaling activation. This finding on the kinetical change of IL17A signaling will manifest the pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics investigation of IL17A antagonists.ConclusionsOur work presents the application of a convenient psoriatic animal model in the research and development of IL17A antagonists, meanwhile providing extra evidence for understanding IL17A's role in the progression of IMQ-induced psoriasis model, which manifest the research and development of IL17A antagonists.

Dihydroartemisinin targets fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) to inhibit interleukin 17A (IL-17A)-induced hyperproliferation and inflammation of keratinocytes.

Project description:Psoriasis is a common chronic immune-mediated disease that often has a serious negative impact on the physical and mental health of patients. Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) is a drug with anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects that may be involved in the autoimmune regulation of immune diseases. However, the effects of DHA on psoriasis have not been reported comprehensively. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of DHA on abnormal proliferation and inflammation of epidermal keratinocyte cells in psoriasis and its mechanism of action. IL-17A-induced human epidermal keratin-forming cells (HaCaT) were used as a model. And after induction exposure to different concentrations of DHA, CCK-8, EDU staining, wound healing and Western blotting were performed to assess cell viability, proliferation, migration, differentiation and inflammatory factors, respectively. Subsequently, agonists of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) were added and the above experiments were repeated. The results showed that DHA obviously inhibited IL-17A-induced hyperproliferation, migration and expression of inflammatory factors in HaCaT cells. Furthermore, FGFR1 was highly expressed in IL-17A-induced HaCaT cells, and DHA inhibited its expression. However, the inhibitory effect of DHA on IL-17A-induced HaCaT cells was reversed after the addition of FGFR1 agonist. In conclusion, DHA could inhibit IL-17A-induced hyperproliferation and inflammation of keratinocytes by targeting FGFR1, which also provided a new target for the treatment of psoriasis.

Galectin-7 downregulation in lesional keratinocytes contributes to enhanced IL-17A signaling and skin pathology in psoriasis.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration, as well as hyperproliferation of keratinocytes in skin lesions, and is considered a metabolic syndrome. We found that the expression of galectin-7 is reduced in skin lesions of patients with psoriasis. IL-17A and TNF-α, 2 cytokines intimately involved in the development of psoriatic lesions, suppressed galectin-7 expression in human primary keratinocytes (HEKn cells) and the immortalized human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT. A galectin-7 knockdown in these cells elevated the production of IL-6 and IL-8 and enhanced ERK signaling when the cells were stimulated with IL-17A. Galectin-7 attenuated IL-17A-induced production of inflammatory mediators by keratinocytes via the microRNA-146a/ERK pathway. Moreover, galectin-7-deficient mice showed enhanced epidermal hyperplasia and skin inflammation in response to intradermal IL-23 injection. We identified fluvastatin as an inducer of galectin-7 expression by connectivity map analysis, confirmed this effect in keratinocytes, and demonstrated that fluvastatin attenuated IL-6 and IL-8 production induced by IL-17A. Thus, we validate a role of galectin-7 in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, in both epidermal hyperplasia and keratinocyte-mediated inflammatory responses, and formulate a rationale for the use of statins in the treatment of psoriasis.

I-Kappa-B-Zeta Regulates Interleukin-17A/Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Mediated Synergistic Induction of Interleukin-19 and Interleukin-20 in Humane Keratinocytes.

Project description:BackgroundInterleukin (IL)-19 and IL-20 are important members of the IL-10 cytokine family, which are known to play a role in inflammatory processes. Both anti-IL-19 and -IL-20 targeting drugs have been suggested in the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. Recently, we presented I-kappa-B-zeta (IκBζ) as a key player in psoriasis by identifying IκBζ as a regulator of IL-17/tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α-inducible psoriasis-associated genes and proteins. Some of these genes were synergistically regulated by IL-17/TNFα.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to explore the role of IκBζ in the regulation of IL-17A/TNFα-mediated induction of IL-19 and IL-20 expression in human keratinocytes.MethodsIn vitro experiments with cultured primary humane keratinocytes were conducted and investigated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), Western blotting, ELISA and EMSA. For statistics, a one- or two- way repeated-measures analysis of variance (RM ANOVA) or the Friedman test (a nonparametric equivalent to the RM ANOVA) were conducted.ResultsWe demonstrated that IL-19 and IL-20 mRNA and protein expressions were synergistically induced by IL-17A and TNFα, whereas IL-17A and TNFα alone had only a minor effect on the IL-19 and IL-20 expression. Moreover, we demonstrated IκBζ to be a regulator of this synergistic induction of IL-19 and IL-20. Finally, the IL-17A/TNFα-induced synergistic induction of IL-19 and IL-20 expression was found to be mediated by a p38 MAPK-, NF-κB- and JNK1/2-dependent mechanism.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that IκBζ plays a role in the IL-17A/TNFα-mediated synergistic induction of IL-19 and IL-20 in humane keratinocytes.

Interleukin-17A and interleukin-23 in morphea.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Morphea is a disease included in the group of scleroderma type autoimmune diseases. Interleukin (IL)-17A may play a role at every stage of its pathogenesis. The study aimed at evaluation of IL-17A and IL-23 (as the main cytokine which is supposed to stimulate and maintain synthesis of IL-17) in pathogenesis of morphea. MATERIAL AND METHODS:The studies were performed on 41 blood samples from patients with morphea. Skin was sampled from 29 patients. The evaluation included: (1) expression of IL-17A and IL-23 genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), (2) plasma concentrations of IL-17A and IL-23 using ELISA, (3) expression of IL-17A and IL-23 genes in skin using real-time PCR. RESULTS:The results of gene expression are expressed as median number of copies per million copies of GAPDH. Higher expression of IL-17A has been demonstrated in PBMC of morphea vs. control group (2630 and 1906 respectively; p = 0.004), accompanied by absence of significant differences in its plasma concentration (10 pg/ml in both groups) and by lowered expression in affected skin (9119 and 19113 respectively; p = 0.036). The results failed to demonstrate elevated IL-23 plasma concentration in morphea vs. control group (5 pg/ml and 6 pg/ml respectively; p = 0.335) or its increased expression in the skin (292 vs. 427; p = 0.383), although we noted its increased expression in PBMC (4419 vs. 808; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS:BASED ON THE OBSERVED CORRELATIONS WE SUGGEST THAT: (1) IL-17A does not represent a factor which promotes tissue injury in morphea, (2) IL-23 may playa role in pathogenesis of morphea.
