CYSLTR1 antagonist inhibits Th17 cell differentiation by regulating the NF-κB signaling for the treatment of psoriasis.

ABSTRACT: Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1) is observed to increase in psoriatic skin lesions. Montelukast, a CYSLTR1 antagonist, effectively treats inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and atopic dermatitis. Thus, blocking CYSLTR1 may be a promising strategy for psoriasis immunotherapy. We prepared a montelukast sodium cream and solution and investigated their effects on psoriasis-like skin lesions induced by imiquimod (IMQ). After the treatment, serum, skin, and spleen samples were collected for evaluation. We treated human T helper (Th) 17 cells with montelukast in vitro to study its effect on Th17 differentiation and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling. We also created a keratinocyte proliferation model induced by M5 cytokines and assesse
