Project description:Patients with psoriasis are at a higher risk of developing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. We previously identified an oxidized derivative of cholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol (7KC), in diet-induced steatohepatitic mice. Here, we investigated whether 7KC exacerbates psoriasis-like dermatitis by accelerating steatohepatitis in mice. A high fat/high cholesterol/high sucrose/bile salt diet (NASH diet) with or without 0.0125% 7KC was fed to C57BL/6 mice (7KC or control group) for three weeks to induce steatohepatitis. 5% imiquimod cream was then applied to the ears and dorsal skin for four days to induce psoriasis-like dermatitis. Hepatic lipid accumulation and inflammatory cell infiltration were exacerbated in the 7KC group compared with the control group after three weeks. Serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels were also elevated in the 7KC group (108.5±9.8 vs. 83.1±13.1 pg/ml, p<0.005). Imiquimod cream increased the psoriasis area severity index (PASI) score in mice in the 7KC group (9.14±0.75 vs. 5.17±1.17, p<0.0001). Additionally, Tnfa, Il23a, Il17a, and Il22 mRNA levels in the dorsal lesion were significantly upregulated. Finally, Th17 cell differentiation and the TNF signaling pathway were enhanced in the dorsal lesions and liver of mice in the 7KC group. These data suggest that steatohepatitis and psoriasis are linked by a potent, diet-related factor.

Project description:We provide a new psoriasis mouse model which is induced by p38 activation in skin. We compared the individual transcriptomic profiles of anisomycin and imiquimod-induced dermatitis. We used microarrays to compare the gene expression pattern between anisomycin- and imiquimod- induced dermatitis.

Project description:The polyphenol resveratrol has anti-inflammatory effects in various cells, tissues, animals and human settings of low-grade inflammation. Psoriasis is a disease of both localized and systemic low-grade inflammation. The Sirtuin1 enzyme thought to mediate the effects of resveratrol is present in skin and resveratrol is known to downregulate NF-κB; a major contributor in the development of psoriasis. Consequently we investigated whether resveratrol has an effect on an Imiquimod induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation in mice and sought to identify candidate genes, pathways and interleukins mediating the observed effects. The study consisted of three treatment groups: A control group, an Imiquimod group and an Imiquimod+resveratrol group. Psoriasis severity was assessed using elements of the Psoriasis Area Severity Index, actual skin thickness measurements, and histological examination. We performed an RNA microarray from lesional skin and afterwards Ingenuity pathway analysis to identify affected signalling pathways. Our microarray was compared to a previously deposited microarray to determine if gene changes were psoriasis-like, and to a human microarray to determine if findings could be relevant in a human setting. Imiquimod treatment induced a psoriasis-like skin inflammation. Resveratrol significantly diminished the severity of the psoriasis-like skin inflammation. The RNA microarray revealed a psoriasis-like gene expression-profile in the Imiquimod treated group, and highlighted several resveratrol dependent changes in relevant genes, such as increased expression of genes associated with retinoic acid stimulation and reduced expression of genes involved in IL-17 dependent pathways (e.g.IL-17A, IL-17F,IL-23p19 ). Quantitative PCR confirmed a resveratrol dependent decrease in mRNA levels of IL-17A and IL-19; both central in developing psoriasis. In conclusion, resveratrol ameliorates psoriasis, and changes in expression of retinoic acid stimulated genes, IL-17 signalling pathways, IL-17A and IL-19 mRNA levels in a beneficial manner suggests it might have a role in the treatment of psoriasis and should be explored further in a human setting.

Project description:Psoriasis vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease which tends to affect the extensor surface of the body. IL-17A and IL-23 antagonists are currently the main and powerful therapeutic choices but the skin areas which are subject to stretching, namely knees, elbows and the lower back, are often reluctant to treatments. ; Hence, we hypothesize that stretching has a dominant effect on psoriasis development. First, we found that, in imiquimod-treated psoriasis-like mouse model, mechanical stretch promotes a significant increase in clinical severity, epidermal thickness, and inflammatory cell infiltration of psoriasis. Transcriptomics profiling revealed that Il6 and Il1b genes are significantly upregulated and play a major role in the activation and recruitment of neutrophils, macrophages, and T cells in stretching group. Upstream analysis further identifies NF-κB as a critical transcription factor to drive pro-inflammatory cytokine expression during stretch application. Immunofluorescence staining confirmed the increased expression of IL-1β and IL-6. In summary, our findings uncover that the mechanical biology contributes to psoriasis progression mainly through enhancing the production of IL-1β and IL-6.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that is predominantly characterized by sharply demarcated chronic erythematous plaques. Although its etiological mechanisms are largely unknown, recent evidence suggests that the topical application of imiquimod (IMQ) cream causes psoriasis-like skin inflammation in humans and mice. Skin examined 4 hours after IMQ cream treatment. Results provide insight into the role of each knockout mice phenotype in the response to IMQ-induced psoriasis model.

Project description:The mechanisms underlying pruritus of imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated whether there are certain key signaling molecules downstream of the recently identified peptides mediating itch in the spinal cord. We investigated the changes in the trascriptome by performing RNAseq of cervical spinal cords in control and IMQ-induced psoriasis. Our study represents the detailed analysis of transcriptomes of spinal cord in chronic itch model with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology.
