BCL11B Is Involved in Stress-Induced Differentiation of Keratinocytes and Has A Potential Role in Psoriasis Pathogenesis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Psoriasis is a common, auto-immune skin disease characterized by abnormal proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes. Studies revealed the role of stress stimulators in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Oxidative stress and heat shock are two important stress factors tuning differentiation and proliferation of keratinocytes, regarding to psoriasis disease. BCL11B is a transcription factor with critical role in embryonic keratinocyte differentiation and proliferation. Given this, in keratinocytes we have investigated potential role of BCL11B in stress-induced differentiation. Furthermore, we searched for a potential intercommunication between BCL11B expression and psoriasis-related keratinocyte stress factors.
