Project description:The psoKC (psoriatic keratinocyte) model is represnting the behavour of keratinocytes in the later or chronic stage of psoriasis in response to the main cytokines that constitute the characteristic cytokine milieu, namely IFNg and TNFa (mainly derived by Th1 cells), and IL-17 and IL-22 (mainly derived by Th17 cells).
Additionally, the model explores the role of exogenous PGE2 through the activation of EP4 receptor signaling. The response to the aforementioned stimuli was not only limited to the cell fate decisions of keratinocytes (proliferation, apoptosis or differentiation) but also include their effect on the psoriatic environment with respect to the secretion of ligands and intercellular-acting stimuli.

Project description:IL-20 cytokines are involved in the establishment of psoriasis, a common chronic skin inflammation epidemiologically associated with metabolic syndrome, but molecular mechanisms underlying their over-expression remain to be elucidated. We find that keratinocytes (KCs) expressed IL-20 and lymphocytes expressed IL-22 cytokines up-regulation occurs at post-transcriptional level with stabilization of their RNA messengers. Looking at psoriatic epidermis, we observe that the p38/MK2 pathway is not activated but that the RNA-binding protein (RBP) HuR re-localizes in keratinocytes cytoplasm, suggesting post-transcriptional regulation of numerous mRNAs. HuR ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitations analyzed by high-throughput sequencing (RIP-Seq) identify potential pre-mature and mature RNA targets for uninvolved and involved skin and confirms that HuR activity is displaced from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Numerous psoriasis up-regulated transcripts are HuR targets and HuR knockdown reduces expression of transcripts like beta-defensin-2, CXCL-10 or IL-2, suggesting an implication of HuR in pathophysiological processes such as morphological, immune and metabolic inflammatory responses. Finally, metabolic disorders affecting psoriatic keratinocytes are responsible for HuR cytoplasmic localization since a decreased activity of the cellular metabolic sensor AMPK, that is observed in human psoriatic epidermis, is sufficient to promote HuR cytosolic localization as well as IL-20 over-production both in human keratinocytes and in vivo in mouse epidermis where it then initiates psoriasis-like histological changes. These results may provide insights into molecular links between metabolism and post-transcriptional networks during chronic inflammation, as illustrated in psoriasis by mechanisms connecting AMPK, HuR and IL-20. Analysis of HuR-binding RNA in uninvolved versus involved psoriatic samples by RIP-Seq. Samples from five different patients were used for both uninvolved and involved skin. RIP-Seq was also made using a control IgG.

Project description:CaMK4 has an important function in autoimmune diseases, and the contribution of CaMK4 in psoriasis remains obscure. Here, we show that CaMK4 expression is significantly increased in psoriatic lesional skin from psoriasis patients compared to healthy human skin as well as inflamed skin from an imiquimod (IMQ)-induced mouse model of psoriasis compared to healthy mouse skin. Camk4-deficient (Camk4−/−) mice treated with IMQ exhibit reduced severity of psoriasis compared to wild-type (WT) mice. There are more macrophages and fewer IL-17A+γδ TCR+ cells in the skin of IMQ-treated Camk4−/− mice compared to IMQ-treated WT mice. CaMK4 inhibits IL-10 production by macrophages, thus allowing excessive psoriatic inflammation. Deletion of Camk4 in macrophages alleviates IMQ-induced psoriatic inflammation in mice. In keratinocytes, CaMK4 inhibits apoptosis as well as promotes cell proliferation and the expression of pro-inflammatory genes such as S100A8 and CAMP. Taken together, these data indicate that CaMK4 regulates IMQ-induced psoriasis by sustaining inflammation and provides a potential target for psoriasis treatment.

Abstract:
Clinical investigations prove that blue light irradiation
reduces the severity of psoriasis vulgaris. Nevertheless, the
mechanisms involved in the management of this condition remain
poorly defined. Despite the encouraging results of the clinical
studies, no clear guidelines are specified in the literature
for the irradiation scheme regime of blue light-based therapy
for psoriasis. We investigated the underlying mechanism of blue
light irradiation of psoriatic skin, and tested the hypothesis
that regulation of proliferation is a key process. We
implemented a mechanistic model of cellular epidermal dynamics
to analyze whether a temporary decrease of keratinocytes
hyper-proliferation can explain the outcome of phototherapy
with blue light. Our results suggest that the main effect of
blue light on keratinocytes impacts the proliferative cells.
They show that the decrease in the keratinocytes proliferative
capacity is sufficient to induce a transient decrease in the
severity of psoriasis. To study the impact of the therapeutic
regime on the efficacy of psoriasis treatment, we performed
simulations for different combinations of the treatment
parameters, i.e., length of treatment, fluence (also referred
to as dose), and intensity. These simulations indicate that
high efficacy is achieved by regimes with long duration and
high fluence levels, regardless of the chosen intensity. Our
modeling approach constitutes a framework for testing diverse
hypotheses on the underlying mechanism of blue light-based
phototherapy, and for designing effective strategies for the
treatment of psoriasis.

Project description:Psoriasis is a common, immune-mediated, genetic disorder of the skin associated with arthritis in approximately 30% of cases. Previously, we localized PSORS2 (psoriasis susceptibility locus 2) to chromosome 17q25.3-qter following a genome-wide linkage scan in a family of European origin with multiple cases of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Linkage to PSORS2 was also observed in a multiply affected psoriasis family from Taiwan. With genomic capture and DNA sequencing, we identified unique gain-of-function mutations in caspase recruitment domain family, member 14 (CARD14) that segregated with psoriasis. The mutations, c.349G>A (p.Gly117Ser) and c.349+5G>A respectively, altered splicing between exons 3 and 4 of CARD14. A de novo mutation in CARD14, c.413A>C [p.Glu138Ala], was detected in a child with sporadic, early-onset, generalized pustular psoriasis. CARD14 activates nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), and the p.Gly117Ser and p.Glu138Ala substitutions were shown to lead to enhanced NF-kB activation and upregulation of a subset of psoriasis-associated genes in keratinocytes compared to wildtype CARD14. These included chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 20 (CCL20) and interleukin 8 (IL8). CARD14 is localized mainly in the basal and suprabasal layers of healthy skin epidermis, while in lesional psoriatic skin it is reduced in the basal layer and more diffusely upregulated in the suprabasal layers of the lesional epidermis. We propose that, following a triggering event that can include epidermal injury, rare gain-of-function mutations in CARD14 initiate a process that includes inflammatory cell recruitment by keratinocytes. This perpetuates a vicious cycle of epidermal inflammation and regeneration that is the hallmark of psoriasis. No replicates are included. Three sample sets. [1] Skin biopsies had RNA extracted for expression within target tissue. [2] HEK cells were transfected with different constructs (including wildtype) of CARD14 to determine the mutational effect in keratinocytes. [3] Keratinocytes derived from psoriasis patients with CARD14 mutations were cultured and compared with and without stimulation with TNFalpha.

Project description:Psoriasis is an inflammatory disorder characterized by keratinocyte hyper-proliferation and Th17-type immune responses. However, the roles of bioactive lipids and the regulation of their biosynthesis in this chronic skin disease are not fully understood. Herein, we show that group IVE cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2epsilon/PLA2G4E) plays a counterregulatory role against psoriatic inflammation by producing the non-canonical anti-inflammatory lipid N-acylethanolamine (NAE). Lipidomics analysis of mouse skin revealed that NAE species and their precursors (N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamine and glycerophospho-N-acylethanolamine) were robustly increased in parallel with the ongoing process of imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis, accompanied by a marked upregulation of cPLA2epsilon in epidermal keratinocytes. Genetic deletion of cPLA2epsilon/Pla2g4e exacerbated IMQ-induced ear swelling and psoriatic marker expression, with a dramatic reduction of NAE-related lipids in IMQ-treated, and even normal, skin. Stimulation of cultured human keratinocytes with psoriatic cytokines concomitantly increased PLA2G4E expression and NAE production, and supplementation with NAEs significantly attenuated the cytokine-induced upregulation of the psoriatic marker S100A9. Increased expression of cPLA2epsilon was also evident in the epidermis of psoriatic patients. These findings reveal for the first time the in vivo role of cPLA2epsilon, which is highly induced in the keratinocytes of the psoriatic skin, promotes the biosynthesis of NAE-related lipids, and contributes to limiting psoriatic inflammation.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory immune-mediated disorder affecting the skin and other organs including joints. Over 1,300 transcripts are altered in psoriatic involved skin compared to normal skin. Global epigenetic profiles of psoriatic skin have not been described. Here we describe the first genome-wide study of altered CpG methylation in psoriatic skin. We determined the methylation levels at 27,578 CpG sites in skin samples from individuals with psoriasis (12 involved, 8 uninvolved) and 10 unaffected individuals. CpG methylation of involved skin differed from normal skin at 1,108 sites. Twelve mapped to the epidermal differentiation complex, upstream or within genes that are highly up-regulated in psoriasis. Hierarchical clustering of 50 of the top differentially methylated (DM) sites separated psoriatic from normal skin samples. CpG sites where methylation was correlated with gene expression are reported. Sites with inverse correlations between methylation and nearby gene expression include those of KYNU, OAS2, S100A12, and SERPINB3, whose strong transcriptional up-regulation are important discriminators of psoriasis. We observed intrinsic epigenetic differences in uninvolved skin. Pyrosequencing of bisulfite-treated DNA from skin biopsies at three DM loci confirmed earlier findings and revealed a reversion of methylation levels towards the non-psoriatic state after one month of anti-TNF-a therapy. Control n=8 (NN), psoriasis involved n = 19 (PP), psoriasis uninvolved n=8 (PN). Hybridized to Illumina Human 27k methylation array. Paired samples are as follows: PN1 and PP1 PN2 and PP2 PN3 and PP3 PN4 and PP4 PN5 and PP5 PN6 and PP6 PN7 and PP7 PN8 and PP8

Project description:Next to genetic alterations, it is being recognized that the cellular environment also acts as a major determinant in onset and progression of disease. In cases where different cell types contribute to the final disease outcome, this imposes environmental challenges as different cell types likely differ in their extracellular dependencies. A number of skin diseases, including psoriasis is characterized by a combination of keratinocyte hyperproliferation and immune cell activation. Activation of immune cells involves increased glucose consumption thereby intrinsicly limiting glucose availability for other cell types. Thus, these type of skin diseases require metabolic adaptations that enable coexistence between hyperproliferative keratinocytes and activated immune cells in a nutrient-limited environment. Hsa-microRNA-31-5p (miR-31) is highly expressed in keratinocytes within the psoriatic skin. Here we show that miR-31 expression in keratinocytes is induced by limited glucose availability and enables increased survival of keratinocytes under limiting glucose conditions, by increasing glutamine metabolism. In addition, miR-31 induced glutamine metabolism results in secretion of specific metabolites (aspartate and glutamate) but also secretion of immuno-modulatory factors. We show that this miR-31-induced secretory phenotype is sufficient to induce Th17 cell differentiation, a hallmark of psoriasis. Inhibition of glutaminase (GLS) using CB-839 impedes miR31-induced metabolic rewiring and secretion of immuno-modulatory factors. Concordantly, pharmacological targeting of GLS alleviated psoriasis pathology in a mouse model of psoriasis. Together our data illustrate an emerging concept of metabolic interaction across cell compartments that characterizes disease development, which can be employed to design effective treatment options for disease, as shown here for psoriasis.

Project description:Psoriasis is a common inflammatory skin disease with complex etiology and chronic progression. To provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of regulation of the disease we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis of fourteen pairs of skin samples collected from psoriatic patients with consequent pathway analysis and identification of the main transcriptional regulators of psoriasis-associated pathways. In order to identify the most important regulators of the disease, we combined the results obtained with MetaCore Interactome enrichment tool and cisExpress algorithm and compared them to regulatory psoriasis response elements found in literature. Comparative approach allowed us to identify 42 core transcriptional regulators of the disease associated with inflammation (NFkB, IRF9, JUN, FOS, SRF), activity of T-cells in the psoriatic lesions (STAT6, FOXP3, NFATC2, GATA3, TCF7, RUNX1, etc.), hyper-proliferation and migration of keratinocytes (JUN, FOS, NFIB, TFAP2A, TFAP2C), and with lipid metabolism (TFAP2, RARA, VDR). We also identified 66 transcription factors not previously associated with psoriasis. Using MetaCore pathway maps we illustrated and described the molecular basis of psoriatic skin lesions.

Project description:Psoriasis is a common and chronic inflammatory skin disease complicated by genetic-environmental interactions. Although genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses have been performed to investigate the pathogenesis of psoriasis, the role of metabolites in psoriasis, particularly of lipids, remains unclear. Lipids not only comprise the bulk of the cellular membrane bilayers but also regulate a variety of biological processes, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, immunity, angiogenesis and inflammation. In this study, an untargeted lipidomics approach was used to study the lipid profiles in psoriasis and identify lipid metabolite signatures for psoriasis through ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry. Plasma samples from 90 participants (45 healthy and 45 psoriasis patients) were collected and detected. Statistical analysis was applied to find different features between the disease and control groups. In addition, ELISA was performed to examine differentially-expressed lipids in psoriatic patient plasma. We finally identified several differential expression lipids including LPAs, LysoPCs, PIs, PCs and PAs, among these metabolites, LPAs, LysoPCs and PAs were significantly increased, while PCs and PIs were down-regulated in psoriasis group. We found that elements of the glycerophospholipid metabolism, such as LPAs, LysoPCs, PAs, PIs, and PCs, were significantly altered in the plasma of psoriatic patients. This investigation characterizes the circulating lipids in psoriatic patients and provides novel insights into the pathogenesis of psoriasis.
